Installation went smoothly thru step one.
When the step two page came up it displayed the following errors.
bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; There can only be one auto column and it must be defined as a key]
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD COLUMN ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment
bbPress database error: [Key column 'ID' doesn't exist in table]
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID)
1. Added index bb_users PRIMARY KEY (ID)
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'ID' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 1
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'ID' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 0
I checked via MyphpAdmin and have been unable to determine how to correct the errors, or even understand what they are.
Below the error list it appears as though step two partially worked, i.e. it displays a login link and user name and P-word.
However the login link returns (paraphrased) “it appears you have not installed bbpress” and a link to the install page.
The database used was one from a bbpress install of over one year ago.
I also made a second, but new, database with the same results as described above.
We are working on it, we release this version because some people want it, if u dont like it, no problem, after we will release the theme with more changes.
Ah. So is it just an updated version? Are there any new changes?
I don’t know why this error appeared, but it’s harmless.
Go forth and bbPress!
I got this error when upgrading as well. It won’t make a difference to your bbPress install, just something that needs to be sorted out on the upgrade script. Thanks for reporting!

My guess is that the email in the config.php is used for setup only. Afterward, I changed mine in my profile and it gets updated in my WordPress user table. I changed the email address in my WordPress user table, and it’s changed in the profile in bbPress. None of those changes affected the setting in config.php. I requested a new password with the forgotten password link, for admin, and it went to the email address in the user profile, not the one in config.php.
I am pretty sure the email that is used on an ongoing basis is the one in the profile, and the one in config.php is used for setup only.
That’s my best guess. For consistency, I think I would update both, even if only so that when you do an upgrade in the future, the one in config.php is still accurate.
Download refresh and try to use it in 0.80.
No problem! Good to here!

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.
