I managed to destroy this one and with a server crash and just haven’t rewrote it yet, but if you head over to https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/55?replies=8 that plugin will do the same thing

WP answers to requests to domain.com
I followed the WP instructions on serving WP from a different directory than it’s installed in (WP Admin -> Options).
I put bbPress inside wp/ like the general consensus here recommends, and the syncing works very well. Cookies work fine etc. I’m very pleased with this. I didn’t want to have problems with syncing, so I didn’t do the parallel method.
WordPress:
http://appleswitcher.com
bbPress:
http://appleswitcher.com/wp/forum
bbPress, ideally:
http://appleswitcher.com/forum
I am on the same boat here. Actually I didn’t upgrade to 0.8.3 because of Forum Restriction breaking. I already have some sections of the forum pupulated, which need to be hidden from the general user, so upgrading is just not plausible for me right now. I am using it in conjunction with Private Forums plugin (which feels much better to me). If that plugin could be integrated with Roles it would be the best solution by far.
I am at a dead end for now. I can’t upgrade WordPress to 2.3 because bbPress breaks, and I can’t upgrade bbPress because I would be opening some important forums to everyone.
Put this in a plugin file named ‘_addSuperuser.php’ in the my-plugins directory:
function addSuperuserToArray($array)
{
$array[] = 'Superuser';
return $array;
}
add_filter('bb_trusted_roles', 'addSuperuserToArray');
.
If there is no my-plugins directory in the bbPress root, just create it. The underscore at the start of the file name should make the file autoload, so it is available without activation in the admin area.
If your WP installation is at http://www.domain.com/wp/ then if you install the forum at http://www.domain.com/forum/ they are parallel. The bbPress installation would not be in a subfolder of WordPress.
Does WordPress come up at http://www.domain.com or http://www.domain.com/wp/ ?
There is probably a way to do it with mod_rewrite on apache, but I’m not sure I understand the question.
Slex, indeed there’s some issue there. It probably needs further thinking about. However, like I said if you want to modify it to stop wp saving comments, or even to make bb add replies to wp comments, implement the change and I would definitely like to make a branch of bbsync.
Vito, can you please open bb’s config.php file and add this line to it somewhere?
global $bb_cache;
That should fix that error (assuming you’re using the latest stable, .8.3!).
No good news on making backdated topics I’m afraid, because there’s no way to use the API to create the topic and set the time of it to be in the past. You’d have to copy and modify some large blocks of code, which is exactly what I want to avoid with bbsync (regarding the problem that became with bbpress post, for example).
However, if you edit an old post in wp and press save, it will create a new topic in bb for you (but with today’s date, rather than the appropriate one). It’s an unfortunate limitation of bbsync.
fel,
Thank you so much. I never even had bbpress post, I thought that this migration would create new topics for each already existing blog post.
But every time I try to create a new post, I receive this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/28/d126493713/htdocs/cbusaffairs1/forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 997
The post is still created on the blog, but nothing happens in bbpress.
Is this an error on my part?
Also, is there any way to create the new topics for each already existing blog post?
Thank you so much for all your help.
I’ve looked through the (two) plugins that allows us to restrict forums, and sadly, it seems your guesses are correct. The first one which allows you to allow users in to a forum based on member names is hardly compatible with the latest version of bbPress (and seems dead). I almost got it working right, except for the fact that it messed up my forum hierarchy, and some other bugs, which meant that threads couldn’t be posted to a certain forum without being in that forum, which was enough for me to rule it out.
The other option, private forum as you tried out yourself, doesn’t allow us to do anything but restrict it to either members, mods or admins, which is the most viable solution to me at this point. It does mean however that I will need to give all my members who need access to the restricted forum moderator capabilities. Hardly ideal, but I’ll have to go with it for now.
I’ll be looking at it this weekend though, and hopefully I can find a sort of solution to it. Right now I’m thinking of finding a way to strip moderators of actual moderating powers, but I really don’t know. Adding another usergroup (pretty simple) should work too, but it has to be reflected in the plugin as well, but I don’t have the coding skills (I don’t have any coding skills) to do that.
Hopefully a gifted plugin developer will step in and solve this for us 
There is also a patch attached to this ticket to address the same problem:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
Look for 745c.diff:
https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/745/745c.diff
Well, I don’t know, but since there’s a deregister view following the register view function maybe it’s not necessary.
function bb_register_view( $view, $title, $query_args = '' ) {
global $bb_views;
$view = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );
$title = wp_specialchars( $title );
if ( !$view || !$title )
return false;
$query_args = wp_parse_args( $query_args );
if ( !$sticky_set = isset($query_args['sticky']) )
$query_args['sticky'] = 'no';
$bb_views[$view]['title'] = $title;
$bb_views[$view]['query'] = $query_args;
$bb_views[$view]['sticky'] = !$sticky_set; // No sticky set => split into stickies and not
return $bb_views[$view];
}
function bb_deregister_view( $view ) {
global $bb_views;
$view = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );
if ( !isset($bb_views[$view]) )
return false;
unset($GLOBALS['bb_views'][$view]);
return true;
}
I’m in trouble if I ever need to create my own views or if the views that are being created in the default-filters.php page are ever used. But until I get a response from someone that knows what’s going on, I’m running bbPress without it register views.
Have you tried this this
to modify line 80 in db-mysqli.php?
Hi JRussell,
Although, I don’t use WordPress and bbPress in the same time. But I think if you can provide web server logs like error.log from your hosting service provider. We will have more clues.
I made another approach to fit this need and used it on my forum.
function ChangeRoleDisplayName() {
global $bb_roles;
$bb_roles->role_names['keymaster'] = "Toilet Cleaner";
[...]
}
add_action('bb_got_roles', 'ChangeRoleDisplayName', 10, 0);
?>
The complete code is in role-display-name.php.
Do you have the allow-images plugin? Just curious.
I think it’s related to this (still unresolved):
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-put-code-between-backticks-after-upgrade?replies=4#post-8736
I understand having “something” as far as saving the wordpress comments, but the fact is that only WORDPRESS comments will be saved. Since the forum holds the integrated comments of both, all the comments are relevant, but if you were to look just at the wordpress comments, they wouldn’t make sense because if anyone replied to a message using bbpress, and had a conversation with someone on wordpress, we would only get half of the conversation. They are pretty much worthless, unless we can sync both database tables to store all comments, and in that case, we might as well just have a backup… unless you consider having potentially broken comments as a back up worth having, which I can see a case for, since alot of the information would be perfectly valid. But to me it seems like an all or nothing thing.
Hello, I use “Role Manager” plugin with worpress, which is very useful.
I thought that bbpress will work with it, but instead it’s using his own roles.
The problem is that I would like to use my custom-role in wordpress in bbpress too.
I installed the plugin “private forums” for bbpress, and it’s a shame I can’t use my wordpress roles to make forums privates… ?
Any idea ?
Hey vitovarducci. Are you sure you had bbpress post installed? It doesn’t look like you do now. Check whether any old posts you had synchronised through bbpress post are synchronised now. If they are, or you didn’t have any synchronised, well, that’s good. It’s sorted. If they aren’t, can you check your database (through phpmyadmin or similar) and looks for a table called wp_bbpress_post_posts? Also check that you actually activated bbpress post (don’t if you hadn’t).
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I filled out all of the proper synchronization options and everything registered correctly.
But when I go to migrate from bbpress post, I receive this error:
WordPress database error: [Table 'db218346346.wp_bbpress_post_posts' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_bbpress_post_posts
WordPress database error: [Table 'db218346346.wp_bbpress_post_posts' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_bbpress_post_posts
How do I fix this?
Thank you for your help!
Link doesnt work. 404 error. Anyone have the plugin somewhere else?
You may be missing some files in your installation….?
My preferred technique for installing is to upload the zip/tarball to the server and then use either command line (i.e. ssh) or a web file manager on my webhost to extract the zip/tarball.
If you extract the zip/tarball on your own computer and then use FTP to upload the bbPress directory tree then sometimes the FTP client can miss some files if it gets interrupted.
I think there is indeed a gravatar for bbpress plugin but I like the more developed avatar plugin by Louise Dade.
A locally cached copy of a gravatar is always better than relying on the remote copy, even with the enhanced WP speed. Perhaps Louise’s can show the remote gravatar and give the member the option to use it as the default local. I’ve got a very large blog using gravatars and polling for a couple thousand members is a serious load issue with gravatars.
Then there is the issue of universal avatar support across bbPress<->WP which I don’t quite have working yet, I have to look at what other people have done.
In any case this is a good move for gravatars. But I simply cannot believe they built something with Ruby on Rails and were hoping to scale it for millions of users though. That’s going to have to be changed radically.
Automattic (wordpress.com) just “acquired” Gravatar
http://blog.gravatar.com/2007/10/18/automattic-gravatar/
Looks like we could have a reliable auto-avatar system for bbPress now? Any existing avatar plugin could ask the member if they want to “import” their gravatar.
I think gravatars can only be 80×80 max and not animated so the existing avatar plugin is still far superior.
I’m doing a fresh install of bbpress. I’m not linking it to wp.
I’m getting this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/2816/domains/ridetoremedy.com/html/community/bb-includes/default-filters.php on line 81
My config file is correct. It’s linking to the same db as wp (simply because there’s no reason to use a different db if I can just prefix the tables differents, i.e. bb)
Any help would be appreciated. I don’t want to have to go to a different forum system, but I really thought this would be easier than it’s turning out to be.
Thanks
Installation won’t launch.
This has my config.php data.
