No. Unlike '/bbpressfolder/' (I presume), 'wordpressuser' and 'wordpresspass' are not placeholders for your actual value: they are the literal values you will have there. Check your wordpress cookie; those are what they use. A part of the structure is:

wordpressuser_site-unique hash=your username

wordpresspass_site-unique hash=hash of your password

With his settings, bb should now be using that too.

I just ran into this myself… Didn’t think to check here for a workaround. I have bbpress installed as /forum/ and my approach was to add an htaccess with the following:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)?$ /forum/$1.php [PT,QSA]

It seems to be working fine.

[mvh]

OK, wait. I have changed the links to TRUE, so i am not on SLUGS anymore.

And I am getting the Error 404 – Not found!

Help! >.< please

What am i doing wrong >.<

[mvh]

I have tried to use pretty permalinks and am having no luck so far.

Could someone please help me

I tried using the

Options +MultiViews

and when I click on the links I get 404 Error.

Then I tried using the

rewrite-rules.php.

and I get:

blockquoteInternal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

blockquote

If you go to http://www.328solutions.com you will see it! (That is with the rewrite-rules.php)

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? If you need more information please let me know! I really want to use BBPRESS as I love WordPress!!! And don’t really want to use any other forum.

oh btw, seasons greetings

You’d have to change some core code.

[livibetter]

This is stolen from WordPress Extend Ideas. I made (or I should say I duplicated or pirated?) this for getting your ideas to be my motivations. But, while writing this I found out this not just “Ideas”, this actually is an application of how to have different themes for your forums and topics. And you can also have permalinks like /ideas/ or /ideas.php.

No modifications on core files, but need to add two files. 1 plugin file, some modifications on theme.

You can see this “Ideas” on my forums. Scroll down to the bottom, you will see it. Click on “Got an Idea?” or “Ideas for bbPress” (read the URIs, notice the differences?).

This is not ready for a release, however you can download it from repository and read this draft documentation (if you want to play with it).

And you can post your ideas for “Ideas” or others.

[fel64]

Wouldn’t it be best to mark the entire topic link up? Sounds good, though.

Anyway, for enhancements add a ticket on https://trac.bbpress.org/ and mark it as such.

[ndb]

You know how topics have [sticky] and [closed] before the title. It would be great if that text in both cases ware before link and in span like this:

<span class="sticky">[sticky]</span> <a - link to the topic

<span class="closed">[closed]</span> <a - link to the topic

so we could add icons to these topics in css for sticky it is easy to change in template but i can’t change this for closed topics

[chrishajer]

In WordPress, when a page title is the same as a previous one, the slug gets a number appended to it, like this-was-written-about-before-1, so I imagine bbPress has the same protection built in. The slug needs to be unique.

[Ben L.]

I think changing

if ( !bb_current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) ) {

$sendto = bb_get_option('uri');

wp_redirect( $sendto );

}

in profile-edit.php to

if ( !bb_current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) || (!bb_current_user_can('use_keys') && $user->has_cap('use_keys')) ) {

$sendto = bb_get_option('uri');

wp_redirect( $sendto );

}

would fix the problem.

[livibetter]

yes.

I think you only need

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

If this is not working, please check your browser’s cookies. See what WordPress and bbPress send to you with what host and path. If you not sure what to check, try to clean cookies, then log in WordPress and bbPress.

[livibetter]

(edit: How did you know it was working? I didn’t notice your 404 doesn’t give the url information. Please use the following code for testing

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule redir youcantfindme [R=301,L]

</IfModule>

This time please check the browser’s address, and make sure you read http://make2for1.com/youcantfindme. If you do read that, please continue to the following testing.)

Please place $bb->debug = 1; to your config.php

Add exit; right after bb_repermalink(); in forum.php like

<?php



require_once('./bb-load.php');



$forum_id = 0;



bb_repermalink();

exit;

Then navigate to http://make2for1.com/forum.php?id=1 and http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general, once you done, post the result and DO NOT REMOVE this modification (allow us to check it).

[livibetter]

Seems that l10n.php of bbPress wasn’t loaded.

Did you also do a WordPress FUNCTIONS integration?

What is your config.php of bbPress? (you can post it to http://bbpress.pastebin.com , remember to remove dbname, dbuser, dbpassword)

[livibetter]

Are $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl set as http://mysite.com?

There is a setting can force bbPress to access specific cookie path (like /, that is what you need), but I don’t remember what it is. You can try to search for that.

If you find that post, please also link to it in this topic.

[goldfiinger]

Fantastic now it works thanks for the advice!

Hey this may sound like a dumb question but what are permalinks ?

Does it matter that the Permalinks wont work ?

Thanks again

[chrishajer]

That sounds like a permalinks issue. If you change the mod_rewrite line to false in your config.php, and it works, then you know pretty permalinks are messing things up.

Should look like this when you’re done:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

If things work after that, then you can figure out what about your configuration is not allowing the permalinks to work.

[goldfiinger]

Yes i’ve changed it back now and its all working fine just completed the install.

Only thing now is that i can’t seem to post or read the test posts that are already there.

It’s saying :

The requested URL /home/bbpress/topic/1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When i click on: your first topic

Or when i try to post a new topic

Any ideas ?

Correction I can post topics I just can’t view any. But it does show the new topics I’ve made. But doesn’t let me view them ?

http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/bbpress/

[livibetter]

Did you replace BBDB_NAME with DB_NAME in config.php?

[goldfiinger]

Changed my config information & followed the steps at DevLounge

Now when i try to go to the install page @

http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/bbpress/

I get this error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/

default-filters.php on line 81

This is line 81 :

bb_register_view( ‘no-replies’, __(‘Topics with no replies’), array( ‘post_count’ => 1 ) );

Anyone have any advice on what i should do ?

Many thanks in advance

[goldfiinger]

Fantastic all working now many thanks

[livibetter]

I assume you did an overlap install of bbPress onto WordPress!

/home/readme.html, /home/license.txt and /home/wp-login.php are working.

But /home/index.php isn’t.

except index.php, the first three files are not in bbPress; and you say you have clean up bbPress files. So, DID YOU DO AN OVERLAP INSTALL???

If so, just download WordPress package, and extract index.php from it, then put it into /home.

[livibetter]

Could you test your mod_rewrite is really working on http://make2for1.com/

Please add the following to the top of .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule redir youcantfindme

</IfModule>

Use browser and navigate to http://make2for1.com/redir

If you read /youcantfindme was not found, then mod_rewrite does work.

[neziniux]

I spent a whole day trying to resolve the same problem, until I came accross a sollution. Try the following improvements, worked for me.

In the bb-settings.php version 0.8.3 line 172 find the code:

if ( is_callable( ‘glob’ ) )

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . ‘_*.php’) as $_plugin )

require($_plugin);

Replace it with:

if ( is_callable( ‘glob’ ) ) {

$pluginarray = glob(BBPLUGINDIR . ‘_*.php’);

if ($pluginarray)

foreach ( $pluginarray as $_plugin )

require($_plugin);

}

Hi , well today i decided to try and install bbpess and integrate it into my wordpress site.

The quick instructions seemed simple, now on reflection a little to simple.

Basically I copied everything from the bb zip file into the same root folder my wp site lives in.

Then errors started to appear , so i thought well I’ll just delete everything and try and use some more in depth instructions.

So I’ve now deleted every file I copied into the root file from the bb zip and the config.php file i also put in their which the instructions asked me to do.

I thought once i had removed everything my site would just start working again as i thought it would be in the same state as this morning before I thought about bb.

But you guessed it, it now doesn’t work.

My site is http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/

Error I’m getting is 403 Forbidden

Plus

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /home/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don’t really know enough to know where to start in correcting things.

How i wish i had a back up (i don’t)

Question is what have I done wrong , but more importantly for now how do i go about correcting things ?

Many thanks in advance

[djuggler]

mvh: None yet. I’m going to start digging into code and rewrite rules in my spare time. http://make2for1.com/ is about as basic an install of bbpress as can be done. Implementing bbpress shouldn’t be this difficult.

Obviously mod_rewrite at 1and1 works fine since WordPress pretty permalinks work. I use them at http://realityme.net/ with no problems.

If I get a solution, I will definitely post it here.
