I assume there were files containing code in the my-plugins folder? There is probably some PHP error being triggered. Most production servers write this error to a log instead of displaying it in the browser and then cease execution of the PHP script.
You need to locate and read this log to begin to troubleshoot.
If there are multiple files in your my-plugins folder, then try uploading them one by one until the error occurs. That way you will know which file is broken.
No guarantees about this one….
Add this to an .htaccess file in the base of your bbPress installlation.
You will need to modify where specified.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase <<Insert real path to your installation>>
RewriteRule ^about([0-9]+).html(.*)$ <<Insert real path to your installation>>topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).html(.*)$ <<Insert real path to your installation>>forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Asking for paid support in a support forum is a no-no. I can suggest that you leave your contact information and then I can close the thread and/or drop a line over at the paid support list at:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Mailing_Lists#Professional
I know that is WP list, but there are people that might help there as well.

Hi guys,
“Small” problem: when I try to activate Vili’s plugin in my WordPress plugin admin pannel, I get the following message:
“The plugin could not be activated for it’s causing a fatal error.”
:'( Any clue what the problem might be?
I’m using Wordpres 2.2 and BBpress 0.8.1, French install.
I didn’t change anything in Vili’s PHP, but maybe I should have?
I’m not programmer, so please help me 
Thank you so much in advance!
Ya I’m having the same problem. Seems there’s no logic that says:
If (post is not from member)
then pass post to spam rules
else always accept
Either that or it’s broken.
Perhaps you should name this the “bbPress 0.8.1 Tuneup Plugin” in line with Mark Jaquith.
Of course you can. Just open and edit your theme’s header.php, adding HTML code as you want it.
I guess my code knowledge is not enough. Can I at least put a small banner with a shortcut to my homepage on the bbpress header. I tried to do that too with no success.
If the stylesheet path is correct, you do not have the same problem. It should not contain at all.
The code should maybe go in /my-plugins/.
Hi
I have the same problem as you. I tried the different solutions. Adding the code generated by rewrite-rules.php gives me a 500 Internal Error.
I guess I’ll pass on having permalinks.

Hello
I’m having the same exact problem, with the same configuration: Win Xp with SP2 + Xampp.
Installation went fine, WP users (with the locally installed WP) are recognized, even the french translation file works.
The path to my stylesheet seems fine, I checked the source. But it won’t work.
I didn’t get how to fix it. I saw the PHP code but it doesn’t tell WHERE to put it. If anyone could tell, that would be great.

EDIT: I’ve tried to figure it out by myself but it didn’t work out.
I added the function in the “functions.php” file, and the add_filter in the “default-filters.php” file, both files being in the “bb-includes” folder.
What did I do wrong?
Well thanks for the feedback, fel64.

Looking for that of themes for bbpress (no that almost there is) encontre one for k2 that single towards modifications to the style sheet css and then playing with that same code I adapted a little in the style of the subject MistyLook 3,0 of Sadish theme made by Sadish Bullet, with influence of ReOrganize and translated to the Castilian by Car to me Pla. The installation: 1. It decompresses the folder and subelo to “bb-templates” 2. Actualizalo and Enjoy! 3. To see that it seems to them!

La instalacion:
1. Descomprime la carpeta y subelo a “bb-templates”

I am having the same problem. I muddled through installing bbpress into my MAMP installation on OS X, wanting to play around with the forum locally. I can see the forum, but clicking on links returns a Not Found error. bbpress can’t find the Profile, Topic, Forum, or View directory. It seems Atsutane’s advice suggests I create a new file called htaccess in the root directory of bbpress. I am unclear on how to proceed, not being much of a coder. Any suggestions much appreciated.
fel64: I thought of that first, but while going to the old database would allow me to log in, I wouldn’t be able to make the WP user a keymaster since WP and bbPress wouldn’t be linked anymore.
I ended up editing the database (well, I asked someone who knew what he was doing 
) and it worked. This is the post Omarvelous was talking about:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1048?replies=2#post-6618
Off the top of my head, change this line:
if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) :
to something like this:
if (bb_current_user_can('moderate')) :
That should get it working!

You don’t need that file. You have already installed, right? What did you last change?
Apply this fix, then go to each profile, set the bozo status to 0 and update.
That’s a cool two-column theme, and I really like what you did with the posts as speech bubbles I think it would be a good idea to make the left column fixed-width, though, as it looks ‘too’ big on larger screens 
[edit] That’s also really nice use of a clear div to make the post list item expand to the right size. Cool!
@box, thanks for the comments … yeah it’s really a matter of keeping your users happy because in the end they’re the ones that decide if your site gets hits or not … in this particular case, the market – videogame enthusiasts – is one where people tend to identify their tastes in games with signatures… And of course there are regulations on the height and width of the sigs.
@wmarcy, well … i have the badges system that is a semi-plugin (i’m still learning about it), and this hack … i edited the bb_get_tag_heat_map function in template-functions to add this code:
if(( $smallest + ( ( $count - $min_count ) * $fontstep ) ) < $smallest+1){
$color = "color:#f9a692;";
}else if(( $smallest + ( ( $count - $min_count ) * $fontstep ) ) <= $largest/2){
$color = "color:#f5795b;";
}else{
$color = "color:#f24c24;";
}
right after the
foreach ( $counts as $tag => $count ) {
And then i just echoed $color next to $unit; some lines below.
I know it’s not the proper way to do it but it’s how i know, i’m sure someone will come up with a better option for this
I changed all of the tops to:
<?php global $forumpage;
$forumpage = TRUE; ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
but, I am still not getting any changes to the title.
hmm, what else could be wrong?
-Baldwin
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php global $forumpage;
$forumpage = TRUE; ?>
…should be the other way around:
<?php global $forumpage;
$forumpage = TRUE; ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
You need to set the $forumpage boolean before you call the header, or you won’t be able to use it there.
Alternatively, forget about $forumpage, and use a global boolean such as $bbdb that bbPress uses anyway, as suggested by fel64.
I have installed this on my bbpress, but see no descriptions or keywords on any pages or posts 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I edited the heatmap on my forums to make the smaller tags lighter and the bigger tags darker, this emphasizes the bigger tags and gives a sense of depth in the cloud. Right now i have three levels of color, but it could be easily adapted to use more levels.
In a sort-of unrelated issue, i also added image support to the signatures .
What do you think?
AHHH
I’ve copied what you have above, and modified it slightly (to match my site), but I am not getting updated titles on topic pages like:
http://ppacp.org/forums/topic.php?id=1&page&replies=1
I’m assuming this has something to do with the templete files for bbpress, so I looked at the top of the files and it looks like this:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php global $forumpage;
$forumpage = TRUE; ?>
I changed all the files that had <?php bb_get_header(); ?> from the “kakumei” folder.
Am I doing something wrong?
“confused”
