Is there a file in bbPress’ main directory called .htaccess? Depending on how you’re accessing your server and because that file starts with a period, you may have to ensure that you are viewing hidden files when looking for that file.
If you find that file, paste its contents to a pastebin.
If you don’t, create a file with that name and put into it the text generated when you visit http://www.bqtrademark.com/bbpress/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
Well, your guess was correct! Your tip got me to thinking about cookies – I’m a little rusty on my setcookie() syntax! Anyhow, I decided to install WordPress, even though I don’t need it just now, because if I could get that to integrate across directories, then I could surely do what I’m hoping for with the gallery.php page.
That helped me to understand the interactions of the cookies and directories and domains. All that to say, I was able to get it to work using the following in config.php:
$bb_cookiepath = "/";
$bb_cookiedomain = ".mydomain.com" ;
I believe that if cookie domain is not specified, then it will default to be the root of the directory in which the script is running, i.e. mydomain.com/forums/, making it unavailable to any other directory, including parent directories. You probably already knew that, but just putting it out there in case someone else has the same issue. 
I’m getting this error message
You must specify a table prefix in your config.php file
This is using the same Config.php file I used for 0.8.1, the enty in the config.php is
$bb_table_prefix = ”; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!
(I don’t use table prefixes)
Edit
OK the workaround – use PHPmyadmin to rename all the tables with a prefix (I used the default bb_) and then update the config.php file.
– Fantasy mode on –
How about an “upgrade me” button in the admin area?
This button is only clickable when there is an upgrade. Clicking it will upgrade you bbpress (downloading and installing the nessecairy files) 
– Fantasy mode off –
My guess was that the cookies were set for the forum but not for folders higher up, but if that didn’t fix it I don’t know if that’s right.
I think that instead of “Fourth, sit back and relax; you’re done!”, you also need to go to bb-admin and click the upgrade link. But then you’re done.
karaboga, permalinks should be permanent. Perhaps we can work on redirecting old permalinks to the new ones. Better yet, that’d be a great plugin
Can you try using pretty permalinks with rewrite rules instead (step 3 here)?
Hi,
In our forum, we can see the topics filed under any tag. But if we open the all tags page (wordpress-tr.com/forum/tags/, we cannot see the tags, and we see the error message, “No input file specified.” What can be the problem?
A similar problem was discussed here, we use pretty permalinks and Options +MultiViews works, but still has that problem.
You can change some of the views (untagged, no-replies, …) with a plugin filtering on bb_views.
For the rest, you’ll have to use rewrite rules. You’ll also have write a plugin that filters on get_topic_link, get_forum_link, and so on or bbPress will end up in an infinite redirect loop.
I really do need to know what your .htaccess file looks like in order to help you.
Also, there may be some issue with your bbPress running on http://www.bqtrademark.com and your WordPress running on bqtrademark.com
by looking at the code for the “upload avatar” plugin I found this…
strtolower($user->user_identity);
This is what I have now, but nothing displays for the filename, just yourkahil.com/forum/avatars/.jpg
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: WP Avatars
*/
function wp_aud( $felID ) {
$avatar = strtolower($user->user_identity);
$bburl = ‘http://yourkahil.com/forum’;
echo ‘<img alt=”avatar” src=”‘ . $bburl . ‘/avatars/’ . $avatar . ‘.jpg” class=”avatar” />’;
}
?>
Hi, my request will be useful especially for people using non-English bbPress versions.
There are some permalinks which are not translateable or changeable in bbPress. For example, in WordPress, we can change the slug of the permalinks for “category”.
I think it will be very appropriate if that kind of property is added to bbPress. These are some of that slugs:
topic, profile, forum, view, no-replies, untagged, tags, replies
(By the way, can we change these slugs by any hack?)
“Slug” based permalinks is really nice. But, if we change the subject of the topic, the slug is not changeable now.
citizenkeit, have you looked the documentation in bbPress.org?
https://bbpress.org/documentation/
Ok, so I’ve figured out some more info to share…
First, the code posted above needs to reference the file type (.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, or .png). Right now the code only points to the avatars folder.
Next, I’ve figured out that the “avatar upload” plugin for bbpress does rename the images to the user’s username, but makes it all lowercase letters if there are any caps.
Hope that helps.
Thank you!!
yeah i read that but what seems to be the problem is that some links forget the /bbpress/ and it ends up broken. other links do it fine.
What does your bbPress’ .htaccess file look like?
Have you read the documentation on setting up pretty permalinks?
that helped for the most part, but now the problem seems to exsist that the links are still broken http://www.bqtrademark.com/bbpress/
This seems to happen any time I choose a localization file
I get a series of fatal errors saying ‘Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader’ in bb/inlcudes/streams.php.
I’ve searched the forums, and it hasn’t yielded any solutions, is anyone experiencing the same issue?
I am running the latest bbPress 0.8.2, with WordPress config included.
And the error message?
In your bbPress’ config.php, did you set $bb->domain and $bb->path or did you set $bb->uri (the easier method that bbPress 0.8.2 allows)?
Try setting
$bb->uri = 'http://www.bqtrademark.com/bbpress/';
in your config.php and remove from that file any lines referencing $bb->domain or $bb->path
This happened to me as well during one of my many installs of BBpress. Make sure that you installed it from the correct directory from the start. For instance, mine was sitename/wp/bb and I installed it from sitename/bb. It worked, but it looked like that. Also, if you selected true in the permalinks section in your config, make sure you have the htaccess file in there. That should remedy the redirect problem…
Hope this helps….
No README or INSTALL files?
I’ve read the blog post and any pertinent thread, but I was hoping for some install/upgrade instructions, like WordPress supplies.
http://www.bqtrademark.com/bbpress/
now nothing is linking right. i didn’t even touch anything either. all links are broken and end up at the main page.
