It is confounding that so many people have difficulty with the pretty permalinks.

In my case, WordPress works great. It’s .htaccess rewrites appropriately. On the same server Drupal uses mod_rewrite successfully and without effort. But I have spent hours upon hours trying different configurations and tricks to get BBPress to have pretty urls and it just won’t work. I do not use GoDaddy. I use 1and1 ( http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=6598272 )

For so many people to have the same experience and say “wordpress permalinks work but bbpress’ don’t” just cries that there is something flawed in BBPress’ approach to clean urls.

I’m trying to add things to the header but is not working out for me, I have modified headers in the past on wordpress, but bbpress header is different. Everytime I try I get an error. I just want to add a shortcut back to my homepage but html is not working for a simple shortcut on bbpress header. Can anyone help me on this?

I’ve just decided to backwards-compatibilise (???) all my plugins to PHP4.

New version of this one is 1.0.1 available soon.

Per the readme, the template’s search.php must be modified to show post results. How, it doesn’t quite say, though I suspect that if I actually looked at search.php it’d be fairly obvious.

Getting this error Sam:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/wetworx/public_html/forums/my-plugins/post-count-titles.php on line 66

Any ideas?

[Sam Bauers]

This plugin allows you to add titles to a user based on their post count.

Available here: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/50

[Sam Bauers]

No guarantees about this one….

Add this to an .htaccess file in the base of your bbPress installlation.

You will need to modify where specified.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase <<Insert real path to your installation>>



RewriteRule ^about([0-9]+).html(.*)$ <<Insert real path to your installation>>topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).html(.*)$ <<Insert real path to your installation>>forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

The plugin page is up now https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/50

I imagine the only obstacle to changing your link structure is existing links in the forums. Perhaps you should consider using mod_rewrite rules to simply convert the existing link structure to standard bbpress format, then going forward you can just use standard bbpress style permalinks.

All this would/should take is a few lines on a .htaccess file.

Sorry about this but I really want to use bbPress.

I can convert the DB but only changing the .htaccess rules will not help.

I need a modification to function get_topic_link from bb-includes/template-functions.php and function bb_repermalink() from bb-includes/functions.php

Hacking the template-functions.php and creating the link is easy but bb_repermalink is always 301 redirect me to the root because the link function is not created right.

Once we get bbpress working for you (other thread of yours), then we can work on this one for you as your site is not available right now.

I have heard horror stories of getting fancy URL’s working with WP on godaddy hosting, let alone bbPRess. Some relevant posts on godaddy and bbPress that might help you along:

Searching google or this forum might also have some other things to try with godaddy and bbPress.

Hello

I’ve tried everything to integrate bbPress’ functions into WP, and vice versa, but I really can’t figure it out. It’s the only thing left to complete integration cause I’ve achieved all the rest.

But this function integration really is a problem.

So if someone could tell me exactly what must be done, which files are concerned.

Thx, cause it’s really the only problem I’ve got (and I’ve read a lot about integration but couldn’t figure this out).

When I open a topic, then click on the RSS feed, I get the message:

The webpage cannot be displayed

Most likely cause:

Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don’t have installed.

What you can try:

Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

I use IE7 on Windows Vista, running BBpress on linux and mysql

I am hosted on godaddy.com. The pretty permalinks were not working after changing the config and .htaccess file. I then tried to run /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and get the following message: “Internet explorer cannot download rewrite-rules.php from mywebsite.com. Internet explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.”

I doublechecked the domain, the spelling, the case, and everything is where it should be. BBpress is installed in the root directory ‘/’. What obvious thing am I missing? website at http://www.sevenhillsga.com

How does that help integrate youtube into bbPress? That is just a site that now allows its members to integrate youtube into their site. I would recommend just using this one.

Hi guys,

“Small” problem: when I try to activate Vili’s plugin in my WordPress plugin admin pannel, I get the following message:

“The plugin could not be activated for it’s causing a fatal error.”

:'( Any clue what the problem might be?

I’m using Wordpres 2.2 and BBpress 0.8.1, French install.

I didn’t change anything in Vili’s PHP, but maybe I should have?

I’m not programmer, so please help me Thank you so much in advance!

Hello,

I do not know if I can ask for paid help in here but I am really having a hard time to switch my forum from pHpBB to bbPress and I do not know who can help me.

My forum http://www.weight-loss-forums.com/ is on pHpBB. I really can not manage the spam I get. I wan to switch to bbPress but also keep the actual link structure:

Topic: http://www.weight-loss-forums.com/about2364.html

Forum: http://www.weight-loss-forums.com/forum-25.html

Please let me know if anyone can help me.

Thanx.

Beautiful! It works, thanks.

I uploaded everything, yet the install.php page is blank. Everything was uploaded to my server in ASCII mode like everyone suggests. I’ve retried quite a few times to no avail. Every time I go to my bb-admin/install.php it remains blank. I’m attempting to upload the bbpress folder and contained files to the root directory of my blog (i.e. http://www.example.com/blog ) – Is that a bad idea?

[chrishajer]

cweb: I think this is fixed in the latest trac version and will be in 1.0:

How about this for including the latest bbPress posts in your WordPress sidebar?

Perhaps you should name this the “bbPress 0.8.1 Tuneup Plugin” in line with Mark Jaquith.
