Bah, this is bb (and WP) trying to be clever. It’s annoying; they both mess with your code too much. Although at least WP can handle nested blockquotes.

Could nested blockquotes be handled by CSS? Does bbPress need to “handle” nested blockquotes in a special way?

It hasn’t been talked about for a ‘long time’ here in the forums, but if you just embed your bbPress install around your WP theme, it will be calling the wordpress stuff for the sidebar and then have your forum on something like a WP ‘page’. We just implemented the plugin admin for the 1.0 release and 0.8 has the theme admin. It won’t be too long before someone figures out how to get ‘sidebar’ widgets working with bbPress…..just time!

If you setup that old WordPress blog as an integration with your bbPress installation and then install the bbPress-Post plugin from http://dev.mbzeus.net/forum/ you can do it. It is a real pain in the butt, but if you have the integration plugin working, you can ‘edit’ each of the old posts and then save them again . This creates the entry in bbPress. Last time I checked though, it didn’t update the timestamp to the original post time though.

I’m not that surpised it didn’t work. Here is a different fix, editing the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin itself. I’m using line numbers to reference the code. I’ve based the line numbers on an UNEDITED version of the ‘bbpress_post.php’ file. So, if you open up a fresh version of the file that hasn’t been touched (i.e. do not use the version you previously added my ‘fix’ to – you no longer need that fix).

Try these code changes:

Line # 457 – replace with:

bbpress_bb_new_post($topic_id, $content, $forum, $author, $now, $title);

Line #533 – replace with:

$wpdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_text='$content', post_title='$title' WHERE post_id=$bbpost_id LIMIT 1;");

Line #540 – replace with:

$otherdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_text='$content', post_title='$title' WHERE post_id=$bbpost_id LIMIT 1;");

Line #585 – replace with:

function bbpress_bb_new_post( $topic_id, $content, $forum, $author, $now, $title ) { // making new post in bbPress

Line #587 – replace with:

$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts VALUES ('', $forum, $topic_id, $author, '$content', '$now', '127.0.0.1', 0, 1, $title);");

Line #591 – replace with:

$otherdb->query("INSERT INTO ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts VALUES ('', $forum, $topic_id, $author, '$content', '$now', '127.0.0.1', 0, 1, $title);");

Note: this is assumes two things:

1. That in the bbPress ‘posts’ table the ‘post_title’ field was added as the last field.

2. That you do not have any other plugins that have added fields to the bbPress database.

Let me know how you get on this time.

[Trent Adams]

Are you using any plugin on this installation? I have heard of people having this issue when using the bbPress-Post plugin for posts out of wordpress.

Maybe your server does not support sending mail. I think there have been people who have chosen to display the password rather than emailing it when their server cannot send email:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/82

[chrishajer]

I don’t think so. Blogs and forums serve two different purposes and I don’t know that anyone has written an exporter to get WordPress blog posts into bbPress.

[chrishajer]

It looks like WordPress uses the same exact syntax for the connection, so, it SHOULD work. Are you certain the string is exactly the same as the one you have in wp-config.php? If it works in WordPress, I think it should work in bbPress.

[spicycauldron]

louisedade, thanks so much for getting back to me on this and yes, I’ve emailed the other plugin developer but no response as yet.

I am enormously appreciative of you going to the trouble of working on a possible fix. I hear what you’re saying about your views on its chances, but I will give it a try and head back here to let you know if it works or no.

Other than that, I only hope the BBPress Post plugin author gets back to me on this. But yeah, thank you!

[maker]

Is there information on or a plugin on exporting wordpress posts into bbpress?

I’d like to export an old wordpress blog into my forums.

[chrishajer]

Did you modify any of your template files to call any of your plugins? Sounds like a template file is referencing a plugin that no longer exists.

Let’s see, which of these require a modification to the template:

NO: allow-images.php

?: bb-avatar.php

NO: comment_QT_4_bbpress.php

NO: fix-bbpress.php

NO: js_quicktags.js

Maybe the bb-avatar plugin required a change to a template and that is causing trouble now?

[Trent Adams]

For sure the link for my blog entry is here. How do mean “doesn’t work”? You mean the download version or the actual theme? The theme works. I have my forum on it right now…..will change this in a day or so back to my main theme though….just showing everyone it works!

[boomanfloral]

In my plugin directory I have the following

allow-images.php

bb-avatar.php

comment_QT_4_bbpress.php

fix-bbpress.php

js_quicktags.js

Where else should I look for something wrong? I don’t know php or all that stuff. I know basic HTML and how to modify css but I’m not a programmer or anything like that… I’m only a plant grower (horticulturist)

HELP!

[Prebrov]

I’m still having that problem. I tried all solutions on this page, but had no luck getting pretty URLs. Forum is working fine, but whenever I apply .htaccess settings, either copy-pasted from this forum or from rewrite-rules.php, I get an error

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forum/topic/1 could not be found on this server.

Available variants:

* topic.php , type application/x-httpd-php, language ru

What could that be? I have the latest version of bbPress, it’s using wordpress database for authorization & authentication, but runs in a separate directory.

[chrishajer]

I have heard this before, and it was a problem with the user-timezones plugin (version 1 – apparently version 2 fixed the problem.) Are you using that? Are you using any other plugins?

[chrishajer]

Looking through the source for https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php I don’t see the provision for setting a port number (someone correct me if it is actually accounted for somewhere else.)

MySQL normally operates on port 3306, not 1337, so I don’t know if you are making up that port or if your host actually runs MySQL on that port. If he does run MySQL on that port, then I don’t know what to do.

If it’s actually port 3306, everything will work fine if you set this in config.php:

define('BBDB_HOST', 'blabla.bla.pl'); with no http and no colon and no port.

HTH

[citizenkeith]

I just followed your directions. Every time I delete bb_online, it shows that I’m online but soon switches to “no users.” It’s still showing that I am online, but I’m waiting for other members to show up.

In the meantime, here’s my plugin list:

Allow Images 0.7.1

Avatar 0.73a

bbEmoticons 0.72

Show Post Count 0.73a

BBPress Private Messaging 0.73

BBCode for bbPress 0.1

Comment Quicktags for bbPress 1.1

Fix bbPress 0.8.1-1

JS QuickTags for bbPress version 1.0

Online List 1.4

Quote 0.2

[thomasklaiber]

Very strange!

Maybe do the following:

• Delete Plugin File & bb_online table in your database
• Download newest Version here:

  https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/24

• Set $mysql41 to false
• Upload the file…

Have you installed any other plugins?

[Null]

They used to be ajaxed… or was that wordpress?? well ajexing this would be great to have as default!!

Any bbpress programmer who wants to comment this?

Also editing could be made ajaxed…

[geekpulpthegreat]

I’ve been using WordPress for years so when it came to adding a forum to my site bbpress made sense to me. However I’m having some integration issue which I would appreciate some help on.

I’ve gone through the process of integrating bbpress with wordpress following these instructions http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ which seemed to work fine but…

When I look at my users in bbpress I can see them all there but if I try to edit any of them (to create a modorator for example) by clicking edit (http://www.forums.geekpulp.co.nz/profile/1/edit), I just get a 404

I also have the same issue when I attempt to view any posts/forums create. The url looks like this http://www.forums.geekpulp.co.nz/topic/3?replies=1

Any ideas?

[motiongraphics]

I’ve just installed the last version of bbpress on last version of wordpress, its all ok but, when I click on “view your profile” or other links the result is: “Not Found The requested URL /forum/profile/1 was not found on this server.”

Why?

Many Thanks

[Vili]

I thought about having separate headers, but concluded that sweating blood and tears now is easier than having to remember later that I have near-identical info in two different places. But it is really up to your own preferences, I suppose.

Now that I’m able to make WordPress recognize when it’s serving bbPress pages, I can also modify the sidebar and other design features accordingly on the fly, which I think is really quite nice.

[Atsutane]

With new version of plugin, u dont need to edit the file directly anymore. U can always get the new version from https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/39

From what i can see. SELECT * FROM topics WHERE It seem the bb table prefix is missing. Maybe u miss the setting.

I dont know what u mean by “i still have the SMF forum that reads the forum topics” but u can find the option page inside wordpress option under “BbLD Option”

[drcmanx]

I’m just going to add onto this post with my error about the plugin.

I edited the php at these two lines:

Code:

$bbpath = ‘/forum’; // Adjust the path to suit your bbpress
$forum_slimit = ’10’; // Adjust the limit to show

uploaded the plugin into wp-content/plugin and then added

Code:

<?php wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar(); ?>

to my sidebar. activated the plugin to get the following error:

Code:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT * FROM topics WHERE topic_status = 0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT

i still have the SMF forum that reads the forum topics with the line code:

Code:

<?php include (‘/forum1/extern.php?action=active’);?>

so i have no clue what I did wrong… i’m thinking maybe its something I didn’t edit. Also i keep hearing about a option page for the plugin and can’t seem to find it.
