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?

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.

Hi!

If you use the avatar plugin from Suleiman (here) on a WPMU install, you can use this plugin. I’m using it with bbpress 0.8.1 and the Crystal theme. Instructions in the file.

I have been hacking my wordpress files for months and for some reason bbpress files do not work the same. The bbpress header has no information, it looks like points to somewhere, does anyone know where to?

Thanks.

I have a question related to this.

If I can use a RSS feed on my WP Home Page, is there maybe a “Latest Discussions” feed from my bbPress forum that I could use?

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. Nice design and integration. Congratulations on a job well done.

Hi there, i’m kinda new at bbpress, my host doesnt allow to send email via “mail” so, i need to send it via smtp auth, anyone know where can i configure this?

Thanks!

[LwEEs]

I guess my code knowledge is not enough. Can I at least put a small banner with a shortcut to my homepage on the bbpress header. I tried to do that too with no success.

Hi

Thx to WP and bbPress I’ve been able to create the site I wanted (a school project). I managed to almost completely integrate both of them (only functions don’t work).

I also created a whole new stylesheet for bbPress so that it would correspond to the WP stylesheet.

I’ll try to design a bit more in the future.

Here’s the link: http://www.jukepod.fr

Thx if you take a look.

Hi

I would put in my sidebar the latest discussions of the forum (exactly the same as the one on bbpress homepage).

As I was unable to enable BB functions in WP (and vice versa), I was wondering if there was another way to do that.

If not, could you help me with enabling BB functions in WP?

Thx.

“Another way to do .. parse your forum rss feed.”

Exactly what I was going to suggest. If the WP theme is widgetized, its user should have the RSS widget available, so he/she can just plug in the link to your bbPress install’s RSS feed. If not, he/she can use any number of RSS-in-sidebar plugins to accomplish this. (Or if they’re like me, do it by hand and use a plain RSS-to-PHP script.)

My friends and I make short films, draw comics, run a local film club, and have a blog. We wanted it all to have a central forum for discussion so I’ve tied the WordPress blog into the BBpress forum and I’m working on integrating the forum with the film site as well. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks to the BBpress community for all the great plugins and helpful posts!

Oh God I’m sooo stupid… I have 2 versions of WP on my PC, and thus 2 databases. Of course, I managed to install bbpress on the database of WP I wasn’t working with.

Had sooo many issues… Hope noone did the same idiot mistake. If someone did, then read this post.

[bbx]

Lool, I had the exact same problem, and you’re right: searching IS helpful!

Hahaha, it’s amazing how I fixed 4 or 5 issues in 4 or 5 minutes thx to searching this forum! I must say that it’s very well referenced and documented. Great job guys!
