Yes, custom theme. And I’ve set both colours to be the same since I don’t need that feature. But I hadn’t disabled it in the code… Just set it up – will see if it works better.

[_ck_]

I just realized something about the “always unread” complaints.

There are two colors indicating two different things.

There is a lighter blue indicating truly unread posts.

However if a user is new or you “mark all read” there is a fallback function that highlights posts that are only a day or two old. That was actually a feature request by someone else awhile back.

You can disable that. Change this line near the top:

$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;

Also, are any of you using customized themes?

It’s not the template. Line 4 of post.php is <strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />, so it should be showing the post author’s name, not email. There’s no functions.php, so it has to be a plugin.

What plugins do you have active on your bbPress installation?

[Hermiony]

Yay, it works!

Thanks so much!!

[Ben L.]

First, go into settings and change the url. Then, the folder bbpress to forums.

[chrishajer]

What theme are you using? Maybe it’s not coded properly.

What versions did you integrate?

[lookfab]

Thanks bobbyh. This is very helpful.

user_id and username conflicts should be managable since the number of WP users is very small.

On schema, it looks like I need to add the user_activation_key field.

> That extra index on user_nicename is the least of your problems.

So I would just add it using phpMyAdmin?

Hello Everyone,

So let me start with I am on day 3 trying to get this working right. I have tried 5 different methods to getting the forums to workd with my WordPress MU install but I just cant get it working. Please Help.

Everything is fresh and current.

Latest Attempt:

Following this guide.

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

At the end of bbpress install I got this error. Check Code below.

I also cant do step 6 because buddypress-enable.php is not there. What should I do?

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

>>> Setting up custom user table constants

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Modifying database: 40knetwork (mysql.dbmethod.com)

>>>>>> Table: bb_forums

Step 2 – WordPress integration (optional)

>>> Fetching missing WordPress cookie salts.

>>>>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.

>>> User database table prefix: wp_

Step 3 – Site settings

>>> From email address: gera3d@gmail.com

>>> Description: Just another bbPress community

There were some errors encountered during installation!

This sounds reasonable but painful.

Some tips:

* Only upgrade bbPress to 0.9

* Upgrading to WordPress 2.7.1 almost made this impossible, but ck and superanne saved your bacon with plugins for WP 2.7 <=> bbPress 0.9 cookie compatibility.

* Don’t forget to assign your WP users privileges (e.g. Keymaster) by adding a row to the usermeta table

* How are you going to handle user_id conflicts between bbPress and WordPress? For instance, if the WordPress “asdf” user/author has a user_id of 17, and there’s also a user on bbPress with a user_id of 17, you’ll have to do a bunch of UPDATE queries to wp_posts (post_author field) and wp_comments (comment_author and user_id), because when you create a new author with a user_id of 1000, it won’t match up with the post_author_field (etc.) which will have the old 17 number in it.

* Also what about username conflicts, e.g. two users named “asdf”, etc.? That might result in more UPDATE queries… You’ll have to rename the WordPress user, probably.

* The benefit to integrating the databases completely is you don’t have to make two connections to two databases. I’d go for it.

* That extra index on user_nicename is the least of your problems.

* Are you sure that bb_users and wp_users has the exact same database schema? Confirm this! Also, make sure to add any “missing indexes” that are currently in wp_users to “the new wp_users”.

Good luck!

Can you put the HTML source code of a page where the css and jquery are missing from <head> to </head> in http://bbpress.pastebin.com/ ?

[kindagreywolf]

Thanks. I did that. Then found out I can’t really delete posts or move to the appropriate area. This scares as me as I am sure there are a ton of other basic functions you should be able to do but can’t. Now looking for another forums software

[eclipsei]

Thanks, looks interesting if I can figure out how to get it working

[chrishajer]

Maybe you can fix it and contribute the fixes back to the community? I don’t know that it’s been fixed yet, although there have been a couple of code fixes contributed in that thread.

Kind of an interesting way of finding out about a security problem in a plugin (pm), by posting a seemingly minor problem with ANOTHER plugin (smilies).

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Plugins and changes to functions.php are the preferred ways of changing these things, DoubleBUser, as that way you never lose a change when you upgrade the core code

It’s not built in to Alpha.

[doublebuser]

Sorry but I don’t like plug-ins, I am sure there is a simple integer change in some loop of the code. I am sure I could find it but I’d hate to waste time if it is a common knowledge.

[doublebuser]

Need to change number of recent updated posts in Latest Discussions. Where can I change that number in the code or settings?

Thanks.

[Ben L.]

mizparker, you don’t have any idea how many people have that same problem. Either switch to php5 or wait for the next version of bbPress.

[mizparker]

As if this guy’s problem isn’t bad enough, I’ve been through the install for the fourth time and when I try to go to the forum, at http://www.noseyparkernews.com/bb2/ I am always returned to the ‘Yada, yada, let’s get started’ page. I click on that button, and I get several hundred instances of this:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /homepages/19/d271430659/htdocs/Nosey/bb2/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113

until it gets tired, and asks me to stop or continue the script. All the correct information is in bb-config.php, and the first step of the installation confirms that that is true.

I’m using WordPress 2.7.1, with a standard, off the shelf theme.

[plop]

It’s on localhost unfortunately

[tom_b]

I’ve got wordpress running on a windows server through Godaddy. I’m having problems with wordpress using a local host full path as “Hosting4218749htmlwp-contentcache/ ?” when it should be “http://www…&#8230;..htmlwp-contentcache”.

How do I go about changing the path to my server URL on Godaddy’s Windows server ?

I’ve reinstalled mySQL and wordpress over with no effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

[John James Jacoby]

I think BuddyPress is the best modification for bbPress.

[paultjuh2]

Hehe ok, I installed hidden-forums.

Much better

Thanks!

[johnhiler]

Looks good!!

A word of warning: I used to use the Private Forums plugin, until one day the posts in the private forum suddenly became publicly readable to everyone! It actually happened to me 2x before I realized it wasn’t just a fluke. A number of other users reported similar problems:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/page/4/#post-1621

I’ve had a lot more success using Hidden Forums:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

I’ve had that installed for a few months now, and it’s been rock solid.
