I used <a href....> here</a> and it simply repeats the code without the backticks. What am I doing wrong?
I found I cannot delete the post too, in both IE6 or firefox.
in firefox, every time I try to delete, it shows the message: “Something odd happened.”
in IE6, when I try to delete, it shows the message: “Processing Data…” but with the error on page, click it shows:
“
Line: 362

anybody could give some hints what’s wrong, which files I need to copy again? Thanks.
You’re doing something wrong in the config. (Don’t blame my article 
)
Chances are, your WP information is not matching up in your BBpress config. Post your config file here (just take out the db passwords) and I’ll be glad to help.
You’ll have noticed that there’s no “topic” subdirectory inside your “forums” directory, so what I think you’re asking is “is bbPress really serving a page that doesn’t physically exist on my hard drive?”
The answer is yes, bbPress generates the page on the fly, so there is no stored page that has the content of that URL.
Apache’s MultiViews option makes this happen because the server tries to find the best match to your URL. It looks first for forums and finds it, so then it looks for topic in forums, which doesn’t exist, so it tries the next best thing, which is to look for an index of some kind, and it finds the bbPress index.php.
When bbPress runs (through index.php) it still sees the originally requested url, so the fact that it’s a request for topic/242 is spotted by the code – it’s a simple as stripping the integer value from the string and using that as the primary key for the database lookup.
Briefly, the sequence is that index.php loads bb-load.php, bb-load.php loads your config.php, which specifies where your DB is (so the content can be generated), config.php then loads bb-settings.php which is where most of the core request-processing is done.
At least… that’s what I got from looking through the code 
A core dev. might be able to describe it better.

Using http://cow.neondragon.net/stuff/reflection/ I was able to add reflection to the blandname bbPress theme.
Here’s how it works:
You’ll need two files to make this happen.
Put both files in either /my-templates or /bb-templates, CHMOD them to 755, and edit your header.php file accordingly.
In my case:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my-templates/reflection.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my-templates/prototype.js"></script>
Was added before the last div tag in the header.php file.
In order to make the reflection work, make sure to add class="reflect" to any img tags you wish to have reflecting and looking all mac daddy cool.
Did you edit the plugin to have your database username, database name and password? The plugin requires that information hardcoded into the space provided.

Very nice Theme.. it looks a lot better than my attempt to let bbPress look like K2.
When will you publish it? Do you plan to put the code a plattform like Google Code to make development more accessable?
(Sorry, that my english is a bit crappy, it´s due to I don´t speak and write in english regularily.)
My bbpress is not integrated with WP, it’s a free standing forum. But I have the same problem – I can’t log in. I see only page with log in form and nothing more 
I read this: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/112, then I cleared my cookies and temp files, and still the same
My forum is: http://www.auto-trivia.ru/forum/
I got this message….
Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)
I am very new to databases, and I really could use some help here
I dont think they gonna change the theme system for now
Yeah it works now Thanks for your help
Just want to let u know. The post count is broken. U can download the new version to fix this
nolageek, it was a bug on bbpress 0.73 – https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/476
For temp solution u need to disable akismet
Not having email notifications is the only reason that stalls me from using bbpress with WP.
While a lot of effort has gone into RSS integration, as others have said, it’s not straightforward for many ordinary users. Email is still dominant.
I hope email notifications will be developed, or least a plugin please
thanks

I’ve already stated that: “I’m not advocating the removal of any of the ID’s from templates”. I am, however, conscious that the reliance on ID based formatting in the default template is more likely to run in to integration problems in the long run.
“Latest and Popular are different tables and shouldn’t be labeled the same”.
Yes, latest and popular are different tables (their ids are different), but they are both examples of a certain kinds of table that show an ordered selection of items based on some kind of score (be it date or rating). So it’s better to define what that kind of table is, so use a class.
“If code redundancy is an issue you could always go:#latest, #popular {“
Yes, this does have a similar effect, but, if I’m writing a plugin with UI elements then for it’s output to be shown correctly in TemplateX, either:
- I have to add CSS to the plugin which might work with TemplateX, but be incompatible with TemplateY, or
- The authors of X&Y must alter their css to cope with my plugin.
This potential hassle just becomes less likely if template designers take an extra few minutes to consider what the more abstract classes in the design should be!
BTW: class="tableonmainpage" might be better described as .mainpage > table {}
Hello earlgrey
The 06rc1 version seems to work very well
(note : line 21 $version=0.6rc1; must be replaced by $version='0.6rc1';)
The version number is still 051 in the xml file so it may be hardcoded somewhere in the code.
By the way the correct link is 0.6rc1
Users should have to rethink their CSS. Not using a ID selector just because a “newbie” doesn’t realize there can only be one element attatched to them is lame. The difference between ID and Class is one of the fundamentals of CSS. The bbPress designers would look foolish changing all of their IDs to Classes and wouldn’t conform. These selectors carry semantic meaning and without them your HTML code becomes less proffesional and harder to read.
Latest and Popular are different tables and shouldn’t be labeled the same. If code redundancy is an issue you could always go:
- #latest, #popular {
-or-
- <table id=”latest” class=”tableonmainpage” >
If somebody is going to be digging around and making their own theme they should really take 5 minutes to read a CSS tutorial.
That’s part of it yes…
…but also, using ID based formatting can cause trouble down the line when users want to add more elements to the page and find they have to change the CSS rather than just saying that their new addition <thing id='latest' />; should be formatted in the same way as <thing id="popular" />; because they’re both the same kind of table.
This is a double pain because CSS seems to get stuck in some browser caches so users see the new page with the old CSS.
The shift from “how do I want this to look?” to “what kind of thing is this and what do those things look like?” is (I have found) worthwhile.
Right. I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your point.
I like the ID elements, much easier to understand the page.
I’m doing a quick check of bbpress’s default templates and I don’t see too many IDs I’d even consider repeating inside the code.
Is your poing that styling more than one ID with the same colors, padding, whatever, is redundant?
Well done, external bug #1. I have mod_rewrite enabled, and it works – you appear to have it switched off, so you’ve found something I’ve not seen.
I’ll try a build that escapes the loc and put it on the site shortly.
Using anchors for navigation (“jump links”) is a good thing, I agree. I’m not advocating the removal of any of the ID’s from templates. The fact that so many WP and BB elements are identified in the DOM is a good thing – for one thing it makes the identification of objects easier in JavaScript.
It’s just that ID based styles are not as extensible as class based styles – ID styles let you describe the style for one and only one element. Class styles let you describe the style for one or more elements that declare they are of that type.
hello,
Well no, I got

Using classes for everything is pretty sloppy. When start hacking up the bbpress theme and come across an ID I know exactly whether or not that element is going to be repeated. When I work with a design that has strickly class based selectors I go crazy.
Something like “class=header” is completely insane. There really should only be one header inside the site and you use an ID to signify that elements usage.
For example when I take a look at /bb-templates/font-page.php and see <table id=”latest”> I already have a good idea of what all the code contained inside that <table> tag will be.
Also if my page gets larger I can put “jump links” to those sections and help my users navigate my site.
There are other properties of ID tags that do fancy stuff with javascript but I’m not quite sure what they are.
