You need phpMyAdmin. In PHPMYADMIN´s bbPress database choose SQL. Go here. Please backup first!

DELETE FROM *bb_posts* WHERE *bb_posts*.*post_status* =2 ;



DELETE FROM *bb_posts* WHERE *bb_posts*.*post_status* =1 ;

PLEASE CHANGE ALL * TO BACKTICKS `

OK. Spam and deleted posts now deleted from db.

2 = spam

1 = deleted posts

As summae says, you are missing some folders. There should be subfolders under forum1, but there aren’t any. You need to upload all the files and folders exactly as they are distributed by bbPress. You should at least have these 4 folders once you install, directly beneath the top level forum1 folder:

bb-admin

bb-includes

bb-plugins

bb-template

Ok I have written a function to get the tags in a row, but I want to have them comma seperated, any ideas?

function bb_row_tags( $args = null ) {

$defaults = array(

'tags' => false,

'format' => 'row',

'topic' => 0,

);



$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );



if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) ) {

return false;

}



if ( !is_array( $tags ) ) {

$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );

}



if ( !$tags ) {

return false;

}



$r = '';

switch ( strtolower( $format ) ) {

case 'row' :

default :

$args['format'] = 'row';

foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {

$r .= _bb_row_tag_item( $tag, $args );

}

break;

}

echo $r;

}



function _bb_row_tag_item( $tag, $args ) {

$url = esc_url( bb_get_tag_link( $tag ) );

$name = esc_html( bb_get_tag_name( $tag ) );

if ( 'row' == $args['format'] ) {

$id = 'tag-' . $tag->tag_id . '_' . $tag->user_id;

return "t" . '<a href="' . $url . '" rel="tag">' . $name . '</a>' . "n";

}

}

It is working now! Tried with Firefox, Opera, and Safari. All is back to normal. Thank you

[TrishaM]

@chrishajer – I’m not sure – I use 1&1 for hosting but I can poke around to see if some logs are available and report back…

@buddha trance – yes, after the <?php but I appreciate the troubleshooting 101

FWIW, I also tried several other things I found in the docs for integrating, such as require_once with the path to wp-blog-header.php but as mentioned everything I try to load WP first so I can access it’s functions causes the 500 error.

I haven’t given up yet, though! I’ll keep trying a few things and report back this weekend….

[Null]

Hmm this wont work since I need to edit _bb_list_tag_item too. Hmm perhaps I need to write some new code for this. Kinda hoped this could be done easier

[buddha-trance]

When you say you added the line to the top, you mean after the opening tag

<?php

… just in case…

[chrishajer]

the w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind is a different problem altogether. Looks like someone is scanning the server for vulnerabilities.

If you have root on the server you should be able to resolve this. It might be in a php_error.log or maybe it is in an apache access or error log, but those lines there are not the ones you want.

I would determine the IP address you’re visiting from, then grep through the logs for that IP and you should see the error.

[ciaravino]

I tried what you suggested starship trooper, but it didn’t work

Why would you be able to see it, but I can’t chrishajer?

*EDIT* Wow… I just used pagewash.com to view it, and it looks fine… Why isn’t my computer updating with the new changes? It’s been like 20 hours and it still looks like it has no style sheet.

[buddha-trance]

There is a thread discussing export capabilities for bbPress, where the project “bbxf.org” is mentioned by chrishajer. Maybe you can ask him there, if the alpha version of the plugin they have on Google Code can be used for your purposes. That is, export bbPress as an XML file and import it into WordPress.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importexport-work

The alpha version can be also found on the site of one of the developers, Dan Larkin.

http://www.stealyourcarbon.net/category/bbxf/

You could give it a try with a fresh “test” install of WP, and a full bbPress database backup…

Hi,

To change it open ‘bb-avatar-upload.php’ line in my-plugins/ 173

>> add_profile_tab(__(‘Avatar’) …. >> put ‘Image’

[asterix35]

I just tried again, i got the white screen when i click on “check for configuration file” button.

I’ve also tried to chmod 777 the config file, i still get the same results.

I tried to put wrong dbname, user, password within bb-config.php and i got an error message telling me that mysql info are not correct, therefore i assume that when i put the good credentials bbpress was able to connect to the mysql database.

I’ve also tried to delete the mysql db and recreate everything (new db, new user) and i still have the same error message. This is driving nuts

It’s kinda dead atm. Even big plugin suppliers like _ck_ seems to be abandoning this project. It’s a shame

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi,

you need this function: bb_get_location()

for example:

if (!in_array(bb_get_location(), array('login-page', 'register-page'))) {

login_form();

}

[chrishajer]

It looks like the default for that function is a list, but table would also be accepted. But the other choice, table, would just return (i.e., I don’t think they ever finished that, but were maybe planning on having other options.)

function bb_list_tags( $args = null )

{

$defaults = array(

'tags' => false,

'format' => 'list',

'topic' => 0,

'list_id' => 'tags-list'

);



$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );



if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) ) {

return false;

}



if ( !is_array( $tags ) ) {

$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );

}



if ( !$tags ) {

return false;

}



$list_id = esc_attr( $list_id );



$r = '';

switch ( strtolower( $format ) ) {

case 'table' :

break;



case 'list' :

default :

$args['format'] = 'list';

$r .= '<ul id="' . $list_id . '" class="tags-list list:tag">' . "n";

foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {

$r .= _bb_list_tag_item( $tag, $args );

}

$r .= '</ul>';

break;

}



echo $r;

}

I hope someone else can come along and show how to do this with a plugin.

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Try putting this line at the beginning of your .htaccess file in the bbPress home directory

eg. into yourdomain/bbpress/.htaccess:

AddType text/css .css

Had this problem once with 1&1 webhosting in Germany.

[chrishajer]

It’s styled perfectly here with the default kakumei theme:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/iappleit.png

And that stylesheet is right where you say it is:

http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

[~/]$ curl -I http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

[chrishajer]

You never mentioned where you installed it. Your host said it was here:

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress

You say it’s here:

http://latestartermusician.com/forum1

So, where is it? Can you print a directory listing of the folders on your website showing where bbPress is installed in relation to your Blog folder? Screenshot is OK. It’s almost impossible to help with something like this remotely. Someone needs to be there to look at the directory listing and be able to say “oh, it’s installed over there, you need to access it at THIS URL.”

If this is your web space:

/hermes/bosweb/web077/b775/ipw.latestar/public_html/

Then Blog needs be be here:

/hermes/bosweb/web077/b775/ipw.latestar/public_html/Blog/

And bbPress should be installed here according to what you said about ‘forum1’:

/hermes/bosweb/web077/b775/ipw.latestar/public_html/forum1/

[chrishajer]

On an apache web server, the file and folder names are case sensitive. I noticed you used Blog before (capital and Install.php here (capital I) – are you certain the folder is actually bbpress (lowercase) in the root for your domain (on the same level as the Blog folder you already installed)?

If bb-admin were actually at http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/, these would come up fine, but they do not:

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.css

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/style.css

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/images/menu.png

So where did you really put the folder and what is the name? Capitalization matters too, so post here what it actually is.

[chrishajer]

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. It should not be in your wp-content/plugins folder. It will be installed right along side WordPress, not inside WordPress as a plugin.

Right now you have WordPress installed in a folder called “Blog”. You need to put bbPress in a folder called “Forum” or whatever public URL you want your forum to be known as, and start the installation there.

http://latestartermusician.com/Forum/ is you put it into a folder called “Forum” at the same level as Blog in the directory tree.

It’s not a plugin for WordPress, that’s why you received that error.

[xanderashwell]

If anyone is still looking for the solution to this, there is a suitable fix (creating a plugin to do the heavy lifting)

here

Basically, create a new plugin by saving the following code as “my-plugin.php” or whatever you might like to call it, in the my-plugins folder:

‘

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Profile Details

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/

Description: This plugin adjusts the information required at registration, and which information is displayed on the profile page.

Author: A.Example

Version: 0.333

Author URI: https://bbpress.org/

*/

function set_my_profile_info_keys($myarray) {

$myarray = array(

//’first_name’ => array(0, __(‘First name’)),

//’last_name’ => array(0, __(‘Last name’)),

‘display_name’ => array(1, __(‘Display name as’)),

‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’)),

//’user_url’ => array(0, __(‘Website’)),

//’from’ => array(0, __(‘Location’)),

//’occ’ => array(0, __(‘Occupation’)),

//’interest’ => array(0, __(‘Interests’))

);

return $myarray;

}

add_filter(‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘set_my_profile_info_keys’);

?>

‘

I hope that helps someone out, full credit must go to Olaf for this fix.

Namasté,

Xander

I Have a Solution!

Using like this:

preg_match_all(“/(<code.*>)(w.*)(</code>)/isxmU”,

$post_text_output, $matches))

and str_replace()

inside the post.php of my template will fix the problem for me.

[yaysloths]

ok, stuff just got a lot weirder. i made the original post sticky and made a new topic, and the “topic author” code is working for the sticky one but not the regular one. (screenshot.) how the hell did i do THAT?

[latestart]

I downloaded the plugin for WordPress 2.8.4, and tried activating it. However, when I activated it, I was taken to a page that said, “This plugin does not have a valid header.” What does that mean? I am so excited about using bbpress, but I can’t.

[yaysloths]

Hey, thanks for the tip re: hidden forums plugin; I’ll give that a shot.

And yeah, I’m trying to add first poster/author since, as you said, last poster is already there. And I did find that <?php topic_author(); ?> code, but for some reason I can’t get it to work – if you look at the code I put in the first post, you should see it there, but for some reason it’s not working. Do you see anything there I should change? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help…`
