When I ran the update script to upgrade from 0.75 to 0.8 I got the following error:
bbPress Database error: [Duplicate key name 'post_text']
ALTER TABLE bb_posts ADD FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)
The install then finished and everything seems to be working correctly, I was just curious to know if this was something I should be concerened with or is it just a normal part of the upgrade procedure?
I’m sure it obvious by now, but I’m completely new to bbpress so thanks in advance for any advice!
As far as I can tell this theme also doesn’t really change anything from the refresh theme.
I believe I defined the WP information post installation, so I deleted the bbPress DB, created a new one, went through the 1 step install and still no go. None of the WP users show up in the bbPress user list and I still cannot log in with to WP with the bbPress users nor log into bbPress with the WP users. When I look at my bbPress DB, I have the following tables:
bb_forums
bb_posts
bb_tagged
bb_tags
bb_topicmeta
bb_topics
wp_usermeta
wp_users
As soon as I saw the DB structure, I realized that I needed to specify my WP database, and not create a new one for bbPress for this to work. Once I put in my WP DB information at the top of the config.php file, all worked! Thanks for your prompt response.
Well though I like the theme I do have some things that border me:
1) Don’t give us themes that relies on plugins. I don’t wanna use the smilies plugin, not installing them results in an error.
2) It has bugs, creating a new topic messes up the whole page (I don’t say it has to be bugless, but this one is very obvious)
3) PLZ put everything in the theme in ENGLISH
Just my 3 cents

The download file is a rar and I just get gibberish when I click the link. Do you have a zip format as well?
Trent
Both my forums this doesn’t happen and on the main one (here) it does. lol. I guess speed reading on a feed reader misses things! I will report it! Thanks chrishajer and sorry I can’t read correctly! lol
Trent
This is on this forum Trent, bbpress.org/forums. Try it here. Log out and see if you can replicate it here. I did it about 10 times to ensure I was reporting it correctly.
I have done exactly what you are doing and cannot replicate this error with or without permalinks. What theme are you running and does it work if you only use the default theme? Are you using any plugins that are being displayed on the login page (as both login forms are displayed on that page)? Does your theme have login.php in it? If it does, what happens when you remove it for the default one?
Anyone else seeing this error by logging into the top form on login.php?
Trent
When I read your post the first time I missed that you put localhost and that is the problem. Anything before 0.8 you cannot install it on a localhost because there are some issues with it.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/573
I would imagine you are running this on 0.8 though. The double slashes on the local server would be the issue. Maybe the address wrong on config.php or your setup? There are quite a few people with successful installs on localhost with 0.8.
It must be a setup issue, but really glad to hear that it works where it is really important, on the web.

Somebody oughta update the forummatrix.org page for bbPress. mdawaffe is the only one who can, so by somebody I mean him.
The code looks gr8 sam… go ahead and commit it to version 2.0
As far as I can tell, it looks like it’s because “the_content” is not a valid hook for bbPress. Is that true? Does anyone know what hook I should be using instead?
Dear all,
I just installed bbPress on my server last night. The installation was a piece of cake and everything seemed to work.
When I tried to register as a new user that worked as well and the user is in the database. But the e-mail was never received. I tried that with various e-mail addresses to make sure it’s not a specific domain that does not work but no e-mails where received at all.
I found this thread http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/82?replies=6 but honestly don’t quite know what to do with that Patch. Can anybody tell me what the problem could be or how to find a workaround?
The forum I installed is located at http://www.newyorkphotoblog.com/forum/
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks a lot and all the best,
Martin Fuchs
The redirect error has been covered before, and I thought So10 had fixed it but I just had it happen again on bbpress.org/forums/ .
I was not logged in, and at the bottom of the thread there was a message “you must log in to post” or something similar (the link was at the end of the thread for sure.) So, I clicked that and got a page with two login forms, essentially: the normal login one, then the one that appears when you make a mistake on your password. I used the top one (form class=”login”, with grey background) to enter my info, then tabbed over to the submit button and hit enter. It submitted the form, then I got the Firefox error “This page is not redirecting properly” (see screenshot)
Oddly, even though that Firefox error is displayed, I was logged in. When I use the browser back button, I see that I am logged in. Also, oddly, if I use the lower form (the form has no class, but has tr class=”error” for the first row) in the page to enter my login information, and submit that, the redirect error does not happen and I am logged in normally.
I don’t believe that anyone has tried to write a converter for punBB directly into bbPress. I would try and find a punBB to phpBB converter and then use the phpBB to bbPress converter. It might not be the easiest thing to do, but unfortunetely, I think that is the only progression we have right now.
Trent
I have an existing PunBB forum. How do I import it to bbPress? Thank you.
so1o, I’ve created a new version of the plugin (let’s call it 1.2 beta 1). I haven’t committed it yet, I wanted you to review it. It covers these issues:
- Integrated visual-support-forum plugin features as options in admin
- Added admin action to upgrade database instead of running on plugin load
- When default status is “unresolved”, topics with no status set now show in the “unresolved” view
- Sticky topics that are unresolved now show in the “unresolved” view
Download here for now:
support-forum.1.2.zip
so10, I had the same issue as suleiman. I download your recent plugin from above link you gave, and upload to my-plugins, but the issue is still there.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: topic_resolved() in /home/travels/public_html/forum/my-templates/mybbpress/topic.php on line 15
Could you help to take a look?
thanks.
That ticket explains things. I guess I’m a rare case.
Did you install bbPress before or after having that information in your config.php? Did you see the WP users in the install process when you installed?
Trent
Sorry to get back to you late. Copy this into a file and call it path-to-url.php and drop it into your /my-plugins/ folder. If you don’t have one, create it and drop that file into it.
<?php
function fix_bb_path_to_url( $url ) {
return preg_replace( '|
([^/])|', '
/$1', $url );
}
add_filter( 'bb_path_to_url', 'fix_bb_path_to_url', 1, -1 );
?>
It is an error that mdawaffe created that patch for at:
https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/575/path-to-url.php

Hello. I have a WordPress installation (2.1) at / and then the bbPress installation (0.
at /forums/. I have followed the instructions: https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ and still no go. The WordPress integration plugin is installed and activated in my WP install and I have defined the bbPress tables (bb_) prefix correctly in the plugin options.
I have defined the options:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;
$bb->wp_home = ‘http://test.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com’
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://test.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com’
in my config.php file, but do I need to add anything else? Right now, my WordPress users cannot log into the bbPress install, and the bbPress users cannot log into the WordPress install. Any help would be creatly appreciated.
haha….desmond is my middle name…
must be made for me :B
