CK, I guess they released 0.9 stable just when I was working on the beta build. What do you recommend? Should I do a file refresh or stick with whatever I have?

bbPress makes things look just lovely

i’ve got a work in progress set up based on a theme I found, then modified it to my own needs.

What does anyone think?

From the upgrade instructions “The installer will either create a new config file or show you the contents to paste into a file manually. As soon as your new config file is created and validated by the installer, you should be redirected to your bbPress front page.”

This did not occur. It continued as new. I tried a third time with a fresh upload.

The errors at the top of the page I neglected to include in the first post:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘headonra_forum.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘headonra_forum.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

Restoring old version one more time till some advice comes down.

Hi! Thanx! I have a question. Installer says:

bbPress is already installed, but appears to require an upgrade.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

I click on upgrade script and it says:

You’re running in safe mode which does not allow this upgrade script to set a running time limit. Depending on the size of your database and on which parts of the script you are running, the script can take quite some time to run (or it could take just a few seconds). To throw caution to the wind and run the script in safe mode anyway, remove the first few lines of code in the bb-admin/upgrade.php file. Backups are always a good idea.

Any idea?

I resolved! I have tried a new install and this time i create a new keymaster with a different name that my old moderator name and it works!! (i think was this).

I didn’t anything else different that my first install

[Ivan]

I have upgraded to bbpress 0.9 with some critical problems:

I cannot create de keymaster

When i have gone to my forum the post not appeard (I out the correct database)

When i tried to login i anly see a blanl page

[serimu]

_ck_ thanks for your reply,

I contacted to technical service, and they said they opened multiview option. But it did not work. And they gave me virtual host configuration:

The error I saw is, ” page not found error”

I use wordpress in my root directory, and I use bbpress in subfolder named as forum. I think wordpress’ .htaccess file do not interfere with the one for forums.

I also asked for httpd.conf settings, but the technical stuff said, directadmin uses very clean httpd.conf settings, and their virtual host setup is nearly the same thing, so they gave virtual host settings:

<Directory /home/abc.com/public>

Options +Includes -Indexes +MultiViews

</Directory>

Technical stuff also, did not figure out why this problem occurs. And he also said multiviews option could reason some security problems.

I’ve written my own custom plugin to have bbPress use my site’s authentication system (it’s not wordpress). It’s working beautifully (for the most part). I replace bb_is_user_logged_in and bb_current_user (and the latter sets bb_set_current_user).

The problem is this: AJAX calls to add a new tag, to remove an existing tag (your own or as admin), or to delete a post all fail with a “you don’t have permission to do that”. I see that other plugins have had that problem too. However, if I submit the request using the old school (non-AJAX) url, it works just fine.

So I’m guessing there’s something unique in the AJAX calls and that code seems dense to me. Can anyone suggest some places to check first?

[kinthehouse]

macbis, after 8 months since you posted I kept hitting this when I tried to install bbPress in a subdirectory inside WPMU. Your fix worked just dandy! Thank you.. now on to doing the rest of the integration.

[chrishajer]

No listing in the plugins tab means the plugin is malformed and is seen as just a file in that directory, not a plugin. You are going to need a plugin header, something as simple as this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: No 404s

*/

?>

[Shagalaga]

Thx!!! nice support here

[chrishajer]

Seems pretty silly to me too. They could at least put that code in the template and comment it out if they don’t want it to appear, like you see in WordPress themes sometimes.

[icesar]

Thanks for the reply Chris. Yes, I’m using 2.3.3 right now. The content of the plugin code is exactly as above:

function mbob_flush_rewrites() {

global $wp_rewrite;

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

}

add_action('init', 'mbob_flush_rewrites');



function mbob_add_rewrites($wp_rewrite) {

add_rewrite_rule('forums/topic', 'forums/topic.php');

add_rewrite_rule('forums/forum', 'forums/forum.php');

add_rewrite_rule('forums', 'forums/index.php');

$wp_rewrite->rules = array_merge($wp_rewrite->non_wp_rules, $wp_rewrite->rules);

}

add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'mbob_add_rewrites');

And I’m not getting a specific error really. Simply that when I upload no404s.php with this code to my wp-content/plugins directory, there is no listing in the Plugins tab to even activate it.

[kernow]

I have xammp (installed on a USB key) and upgraded to WP 2.5 and since then the forum no longer works. Will test on localhost first before I go live I think

[parabolart]

in functions.php find function get_profile_admin_keys() {, and move $bb_table_prefix . 'title' => array(0, __('User Title')) from that function’s array to function get_profile_info_keys()

[icesar]

So close! I have this same issue with my regular installation of WP, and I only realized today (after 3 months) that this is the reason my forums – http://argentinastravel.com/forums/ – are not getting indexed!

I tried creating a plugin from the code above, but I couldn’t activate it. Can someone please help me with a step by step fix for a regular WP install? Gracias!

[chrishajer]

Well, it was imminent 19 hours ago

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-084-release-date?replies=39#post-14842

It will be here soon enough. Hang in there.

[chrishajer]

How about in your WordPress header.php try to wrap the breadcrumb call with something that happens only on bbPress pages. So, if your forum is in a directory called “forum” or something, maybe you could check the REQUEST_URI for the presence of forum. Then you wouldn’t show the breadcrumbs if you were on a forum page. Something like that?

[chrishajer]

Looks very nice, nice job.

I clicked on a link in one of the forums though, and Firefox wanted to open the file with WordPad rather than open in the browser. This was the link:

<a href="http://www.refueled.net/forum/topic.php?id=106">No Page Templates to Chose From?</a>

PHP files normally open just fine for me on the Internet, this seemed sort of weird.

UPDATE: the second time I clicked the link, it opened fine in the browser. I always forget to take a screenshot when this happens since i figure it will just happen again. Oh well. Sometimes, I think Apache or PHP fail to parse the PHP files and they get sent through with the wrong mime type or something. I have had this happen once before where I saw the source of a PHP file, which would be bad, since there are sometimes passwords and connection details in there. Of course, I didn’t capture a screenshot of that either.

Anyway, your forum looks very nice. Nice job.

[chrishajer]

Right now, go ahead and create these two directories in the same folder where your config.php is:

my-templates

my-plugins

 

Then, put your plugins into the my-plugins directory. I think these bare directories should be included in the download package. Maybe there’s a good reason they’re not, but it just seems silly to me.

[chrishajer]

No plugin, just add this code wherever you want the search to appear (probably header.php):

<?php search_form( $q ); ?>

I agree, this should be better documented. Or maybe it is documented and I just never read the docs.

[Sam Bauers]

There are two people committing code for bbPress and one of them (mdawaffe) was heavily involved with the WordPress 2.5 release.

If there have been two release candidates for WordPress, that means there have been changes to WordPress that we have to match in that time.

It’s just a matter of limited resources at this stage. We also have identified one blocker which needs to be fixed before we can release 0.9

[darksprite]

i see no where to add these plugins?? where is my main bbpress directory???

please help

[chrishajer]

I can access this:

http://cialar.com/foro/bb-images/bbpress.png

Which means the files (at least that file) are there.

I can also access these and get directory listings:

http://cialar.com/foro/bb-admin/

http://cialar.com/foro/

That tells me that the index.php file in each directory is not getting processed by the web server. Looks like some sort of configuration problem with the server.

Can you put a simple file in the foro directory, call it info.php and put this into it:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

Then access that at http://www.cialar.com/foro/info.php. See what that tells you. If that is not processed by the web server, then it’s a problem with the server, not bbPress.

I don’t have a lot of experience on an IIS server, so there may be something simple I’m not familiar with that would cause this.

I am guessing PHP is not enabled here:

http://www.cialar.com/foro/ (IP: 74.208.22.70)

It is however enabled here:

http://www.foro.cialar.com/ (IP: 74.86.125.241)

Those are two completely different machines. The one where phpBB is now is a Linux/Apache machine with PHP 5.2.5. The cialar.com one if IIS.

I am pretty sure this is a configuration thing with your server, and where you have bbPress installed does not support PHP.

[nisus]

I really like the new theme they are using and was wondering if anyone knew if they had released it or where they got it from?

Also on a non-bbpress note, how do you turn avatars on in WP2.5? I can’t find it at all.
