I am having the same problem. I muddled through installing bbpress into my MAMP installation on OS X, wanting to play around with the forum locally. I can see the forum, but clicking on links returns a Not Found error. bbpress can’t find the Profile, Topic, Forum, or View directory. It seems Atsutane’s advice suggests I create a new file called htaccess in the root directory of bbpress. I am unclear on how to proceed, not being much of a coder. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Integration wht data base no problem, but can i integrate bbpress to a WordPress Page? like http://www.bbpress.es/foro/

[Nico Gauthier-Pin]

fel64: I thought of that first, but while going to the old database would allow me to log in, I wouldn’t be able to make the WP user a keymaster since WP and bbPress wouldn’t be linked anymore.

I ended up editing the database (well, I asked someone who knew what he was doing ) and it worked. This is the post Omarvelous was talking about:

[fel64]

Do you have your old database still? You could change your settings back to use that, log in as keymaster, and make your new desired account keymaster.

Or you could just reinstall. Surely it’s not that much of a problem?

[omarvelous]

Run a search for key_master. Some1 had deleted theirs, and another user provided a key to add in wp_usermeta.

[Nico Gauthier-Pin]

I had originally installed bbPress on a different database than WordPress and later I set the config file to use the WP database for users (I know, I know, but it was my first time installing bbPress…). It works fine except for one detail. Since the keymaster user was set on the bbPress db, after the switch I lost it, and now I can’t log in to the control panel.

Is there a way to make a WP user a keymaster? I tried adding the $bb->new_keymaster = ‘admin’; // thing to the config file and re-running the install (told me it was already installed) and the upgrade (told me nothing to upgrade) with no luck.

Off the top of my head, change this line:

if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) :

to something like this:

if (bb_current_user_can('moderate')) :

That should get it working!

No, images flow is separate from rest, this was my first change in the bbpress and I made it in not best way, because this is not a plugin, I changed original bbpress files in bb-includes etc. (gallery doesnt work as a plugin)

[fel64]

Apply this fix, then go to each profile, set the bozo status to 0 and update.

[Sam Bauers]

Here’s a plugin for this.

http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/post-count-titles/post-count-titles.latest.zip

However, my hosts DNS servers are having some issues so it may timeout on some people. It should be added to the official plugin browser soon.

[omarvelous]

Got it to work guys! Thanks!

I have 2 bbpress instalation.

First is public and use akismet.

Second is for testing and doesn’t use akismet.

I don’t know if it is a bug, but on public forum every my post treaten like a spam even when i’m logged in.

On second forum, it doesn’t post unless I press “Undelete entire topic”.

What I need:

If someone post topic or reply it automaticaly show to public, and if akismet says it could be a spam it should only warn on special page, not block post.

Actually the opposite BBpress is running as is with some minor tweaking, I faked the wpmu header on the top. That’s just static html.

[omarvelous]

Hey Guys.

I got the forum installed and all. Added the blurb above the config, added a .htaccess to bbpress/ root, and all the other steps suggested….

But can’t seem to get the links to work on the main page?

Was using firefox, switched to IE and the theme appears to work in IE not firefox…. that was one thing I noticed… not as important…

When I click to start a post, i get the forum, and when i post I get “The page isn’t redirecting properly” in Firefox, and in IE it tries to load forever.

Then wehn I go back to the main forum page…. there the new post is…

When I click on the post title or forum title, it tries to access in firefox, then i get the same error.

Now i’m testing all this on my local pc, using Xampp which is basically Apache as it’s server. I recently created a .htaccess file for my wordpress root, but it’s currently blank, does it need something? I’d like to get pretty permalinks working, but at the moment, that is the least of my worries.

Any assistance for this?

It is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Omar

Hey Trent,

How can I set this so Moderators can also post youtube videos.

Thanks,

Orion

[wwroni]

oh yeah, look at that! I never heard of spotlight.

I really hacked it.

First I followed the instructions here…

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

I was surprised how easy it was. In seconds bbpress was installed and sharing the same user table as wpmu.

I never could get wpmu to run on top of bbpress. Evertime I tried wpmu would think I wanted to create a blog named boards instead of load the installation of bbpress in the directory called boards. (If anyone has a solution for that PLEASE point me in the right direction) So I “faked” it. I included the css file from my wpmu theme. Made some static changes to the header of bbpress just using HTML and there you have it!

[Vili]

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

…should be the other way around:

<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

You need to set the $forumpage boolean before you call the header, or you won’t be able to use it there.

Alternatively, forget about $forumpage, and use a global boolean such as $bbdb that bbPress uses anyway, as suggested by fel64.

I have installed this on my bbpress, but see no descriptions or keywords on any pages or posts

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[fel64]

How did you do the image gallery thing? Are images simply a special class of topic?

[Jaithn]

i have installed bbpress and the forum restriction plug in, but i can’t see the admin interface.

i put it in /my-plugins/ and have bbpress .81 with bugfix installed. no other plugins nor wordpress.

of course the display-name plugin is installed, too.

any ideas?

Here is my one (Polish site):

http://vip.barlinek.net

Main best feature made by me there are nicer URLs for topics, create images gallery, tags for images, allow upload images by users, create comments for them…

[fel64]

The topic resolved thing is probably because that was written for an older version of bb which had that in it by default. I think installing the forum support plugin will add that column, worth a shot anyway?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16?replies=7

Otherwise you could edit the php file and remove the bits about the topic_resolved column (remember to back up the original file in case it doesn’t work!).

[davidbaldiwn]

AHHH

I’ve copied what you have above, and modified it slightly (to match my site), but I am not getting updated titles on topic pages like:

http://ppacp.org/forums/topic.php?id=1&page&replies=1

I’m assuming this has something to do with the templete files for bbpress, so I looked at the top of the files and it looks like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>



<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

I changed all the files that had <?php bb_get_header(); ?> from the “kakumei” folder.

Am I doing something wrong?

I know this topic is pretty old, but I have a problem … I converted members and forums succesfully, but topics and posts didn’t show up. I got these errors when converting:

#

Warning, there was an error with the following query

#Exporting Topics: INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_id, topic_title, topic_poster, topic_poster_name, topic_last_poster, topic_last_poster_name, topic_start_time, topic_time, forum_id, topic_status, topic_resolved, topic_open, topic_last_post_id, topic_sticky, topic_posts, tag_count) VALUES ( 4, ‘Pravila!’, 2, ‘Zala’, 2, ‘Zala’, ‘2007-02-13 16:13:01’, ‘2007-02-13 16:13:01’, 1, 0, ‘no’, 1, 765, 0, 2, 0)

Unknown column ‘topic_resolved’ in ‘field list’

…

And a lot more of them. I don’t know much about php really, so I have no idea what is wrong. It’s probably a stupid mistake I made, but I don’t know what it is. Help me, please?
