did you set the WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION ?

For WP 2.7 it needs to be…

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

[Sam Bauers]

Totally possible, we do it on WordPress.com

Easiest approach is to setup a new virtual host for that subdomain before your WPMU virtualhost in Apache. You can then catch it before it goes to the WPMU install which usually catches all subdomains.

You can also do it from the same virtualhost for a thrill. That does require some .htaccess hackery. This is how WordPress.com is done.

NB: these rules are for bbPress 0.9 and are supposed to catch all our localised forum domains – it also may not work for everyone. The important part of the rules to note is the skip (S=30) rule at the start.

# Skip forum rules if not in *.forums.wordpress.com

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.+.)*forums.wordpress.com

RewriteRule .* - 



# Forum rules

# If you change the total number of rules, the skip rule above must be updated too

After reading some more posts on login difficulties, I found that removing require_once('../wp-blog-header.php'); allows me to login. But I need that, to get my header and footer.

[alvarix]

I was able to perform an integration (not db just a seamless design) using Kenzor’s method:

...in the header I have only:

<?php get_header(); ?>

In the footer I have only:

<?php get_footer(); ?>

However I am not able to login. It takes me to the Add New Topic page without having logged me in.

This is what I added to my bb-config file, apart from it’s own db config

if (file_exists('../wp-blog-header.php'))

require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');

else

if (file_exists('../../wp-blog-header.php'))

require_once('../../wp-blog-header.php');

Any advice greatly appreciated,

alvar

It appears your domain is hosted at 1&1 Internet. If so, you might need to add this to the

top of your .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews

Dropping “MultiViews” support?

I have domains with 1&1 and I needed to do that to make the rewrite rules work for me.

[chrishajer]

The bbpress directory does not go inside the WordPress plugins directory. You probably want it here /home/ironogre/public_html/worldsworkshop/bbpress/ and you will access it at http://www.worldsworkshop.com/bbpress/ . See if that works for you. Also, you can rename the bbpress directory to something else, like forums or community or something. That part of the URL is visible to the public, so make it meaningful to you.

[madeck]

I’ve updated. The bug is still there. I got it fixed by putting into comment

<?php endif; echo "<!--"; do_action('topicmeta'); echo "-->"; ?>

I did that because I think that was around where the error occured.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You already have a post for this: Registration Email setup – To User along with Password

You don’t need to make multiple posts, that’s spamming

You probably don’t have email capabilities as a ‘server’ on your local machine. Have you ever installed websoftware that sends emails from localhost before?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’d upgrade to 0.9.0.5 personally but you could try that too

[madeck]

bbPress version 0.9.0.4

PHP version 5.2.6

MySQL vesrion 5.0.67-community-log

Someone told me to change :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows();

for :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows($this->dbh);

Hey guys,

as many topics in this forum, this is another one concerning permalinks. I have read the FAQ here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks and I have tried both, using Options +MultiViews and also using the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php but I cannot seem to get my permalinks working.

http://www.mitstil.com/community is the link to my forums.

The bbpress installation will use pretty permalinks but my host calls it a 404! Please help!

[Tynan Beatty]

There’s no secret to it. All the info you need is in these forums. You mostly need to make sure that the […] in the following:

define('AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...]

and define('NONCE_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_NONCE_KEY'[...]

between your wp-config.php and bb-config.php.

Make sure you use different table prefixes for WP and bbP.

bb-config.php shouldn’t have anything extra defined in it past that, if you had left in WP2.8. Since you downgraded to 2.7 your bb-config.php needs to have define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); until you upgrade back to 2.8, at which point you need to remove that line again.

Your wp-config.php needs to have define('COOKIEPATH', '/wordpress/'); where ‘wordpress’ is the path to wherever you installed WP, or define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); if WP is in your site’s base folder.

Visit the WP administration settings and fill out the bbPress Integration Plugin settings (but mind what I said above, you probably shouldn’t add what it suggests adding to your wp-config.php file).

Visit the bbP administration settings and fill out the WordPress Integration settings there as well.

As I said in the posts I linked earlier, everything works fine for me with WP2.8-RC1 or any of the betas, and bbP1.0-RC1, except that if users log in from bbP, they can’t log out from WP (which seems a somewhat trivial issue since I doubt many users will need to do that).

Hope you can get it working.

peace~

[Atsutane]

Nothing secret. My forum is on subdomain while my blog is on main domain.

All i need to do is define define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.atsutane.net'); and define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); inside wp-config.php

And if you are using Bbpress 1.0 RC1 with WP 2.7.1, you need to defind this define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); inside bb-config.php.

Another thing is, i let bbpress handle all registration and log in/log out process.

Hope this will help you

Hey thanks Ipstenu. I just tried removing this line:

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file= [L]

And the installer is running. I guess this error is resolved (Though now I’m having trouble with Step 3 of the installation, which means I’m running over to another topic).

Thanks a lot

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file= [L]

What’s that for? It’s the only thing I don’t recognize.

[Shagalaga]

Yeah give us facebook connect!

sry, i’m too stupid to program such a plugin myself xD

[michael3185]

Yay – got it! I removed the ‘fix nofollow & _blank’ code, and discovered how to add the _blank in by experimenting. bbPress wraps the URL in double quotes, so I used this;

Click here to get it.

Works fine. Just got to add the nofollow bit back in, though that affects forum spidering from what one of those other posts says. Well, at least I can open external links in a new window (or tab in Chrome). Thanks for the help!

I just re-added _ck_’s code to bb-tweaks;

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);

but it isn’t adding the rel=”nofollow”. No worries though, this is fine;

Click here to get it.

[chrishajer]

How about posting it as HTML not bbCode, if it’s just you?

[michael3185]

Thanks, just installed that plugin, but it’s stripping out the URL. I posted;

Click here to get it.

and the other bb-tweak code I mentioned turned it into;

<ablah rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>Click here</ablah> to get it.

[chrishajer]

They don’t do anything because they don’t go anywhere. Take a look at the source (from the page you linked):

Get it at <a >http://www.google.co.uk/chrome.</a>

Looks like your regex is stripping out the link altogether.

[michael3185]

I’ve had a read through some of that (brain’s worn out!) but I don’t want to force all links to open new windows, just some to external sites. Users can go external, have a read, then close that window to return to my forum. So something like;

Click here

As none of the members know bbcode it’ll only be me doing it. Well, if I could get it working. Hmm… Sam’s code on one of those threads does it pre-post, so I guess that would work, unless I linked to another post, which I don’t want in a new window.

Ok, so… I added the following code from another post to my bb-tweaks.php;

// add nofollow to externa links only

function target_nofollow_external_only( $text ) {

$domain="travel-writers-exchange.com";	// domain to exclude from target and nofollow

// Strip ALL nofollow

$text = preg_replace('|<a>|iU','</a><a>', $text);

// Add back in when needed

$text = preg_replace('|</a><a>]+http//))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))(.+)>|iU', '</a><a rel="nofollow">', $text);

return $text;

}

add_filter('post_text', 'target_nofollow_external_only',999);

It stops my links from working somehow. They highlight, but don’t do anything when clicked. (Try http://mbforum.letsdoo.org/topic/if-your-web-browser-drives-you-mad).

[chrishajer]

So you want links that are in replied to open in a _blank window? Just certain ones, or every one automatically? This would make any link posted in a reply open in a new windows (i.e. adds target="blank" to any link)”

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window#post-15587

[chrishajer]

Where were you expecting the keywords? Keyword meta tags belong in the <head> section of the page. Are you talking about the admin interface or the source of the rendered page? I’m curious because I was thinking of using this as well.
