Johnjamesjacoby could you give us some more information ? Thanks
@johnhiler,
Thank you so much for sharing this. It worked perfectly!
I am using bbPress 1.0-alpha 6 and the bbpress-forum theme (same as the one used on these forums).
I have forums and subforums and have hidden the subforums on the main page, so that only the parent forums and latest topics are showing.
The challenge is that the parent forums are showing 0 topics and 0 posts, even when their subforums do have topics and posts.
How can I get the number of subforum posts and topics included in the parent forums’ count on the main page.
Thanks in advance.
ı downloaded old database
after deleted old tables like bb_ on database, using phpmyadmin tools.
after re-installed bbpress and integreted to wordpress
after opened downloaded sql file and re uploaded 3 tables:
bb_post
bb_forum
bb_topic
forum is fasted 
yes, bbpress rc3 faster older versions…
Add this line in your <head> tag
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Ah I see – you’d like to add a theme editor to bbPress?
The Theme editor is what I mentioned earlier as a huge existing potential security hole in WordPress. It seemed to be a major attack vector in the recent Bablooo spammer attack, which hit one of my sites; it allowed the virus to add spam links to existing posts. If they had wanted to, they could have easily overwritten the posts completely – or even deleted them.
I would highly encourage you to delete the theme editor file from any existing WordPress installs… at least until WordPress has diagnosed the vulnerability and if appropriate, issued a patch.
But if you feel safe behind your firewall… I suppose you could pay a developer to build a plugin which lets Adminstrators and above write to your file system using the bbPress admin. There’s definitely no existing bbPress plugin that I’m aware of! Maybe WordPress’s code could be ported…
Good luck!
A very big Thank You to everyone working on bbPress and in this forum.
Sam “The Man” Bauers (it has a ring to it, I think), any other coders behind the scenes, all of you who write such cool plugins to add great features, and those who respond to questions in this forum so promptly and in great detail. Many thanks indeed for your time, thoughts, and hard work.
I was just adding a note to a forum of mine, and realised that after a lot of hours getting it the way I want it, well, it just works. It does everything it’s supposed to, and I’ve learned tons about CSS and PHP into the bargain. This one helps new mums who’ve come to live in the UK, so in a roundabout way everyone who’s helped me has helped a mum and her baby too. Ahhh – all soft and fluffy feeling.
It’s kind of hilarious they have blocked ftp yet template upload and edits via php can completely open your system to security vulnerabilites. We’re still trying to figure it out but I have a strong suspicion of the WordPress theme-editor.php
causing a large number of WordPress sites to get compromised recently:
babloo/blyat spammer attack on many WordPress blogs
The day bbPress gets a built in theme-editor, delete the file immediately.
Also delete xmlrpc.php unless you absolutely need trackbacks/pings.
And never, ever, use a dictionary word within a WordPress password as there’s no limit on login attempts.
not sure how to submit a trac ticket… but this error showed up on a fresh install:
[You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘) /* WP_Users::append_meta */’ at line 1]
SELECT user_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM bb1_usermeta WHERE user_id IN () /* WP_Users::append_meta */
Caller: BB_Install->BB_Install, BB_Install->process_form, BB_Install->process_form_finalise_installation, bb_new_user, bb_get_user_by_nicename, WP_Users->get_user, WP_Users->append_meta
This is the code my template uses to generate the link to the forum name on front-page.php…
forum_id); ?>”><?php echo get_forum_name($topic->forum_id); ?>
Sure thing, I can actually read some Japanese.
You can replace the files.
I would suggest making a new folder, copying over bb-config.php, .htaccess and the my-templates and my-plugins folders. Then rename the folders and go visit
Worked like a champ for me.
If you’re tech inclined, yes, the forums are all the help you need. The problem is a lot of bloggers AREN’T. That’s why WP.com and TalkPress exist! Keep the non-geeks out of the geek part, and let them just blog.
If you’re NOT, then a plate of cookies is great
If I was going to charge for it, I’d say $25 for an install and bog-standard install of someoneelse’s theme (no major layout changes, just little tweaks). $5 for upgrades and ‘OMG! I borked my DB! HAAAALP!’ problems. If you want a custom design, I’m out of the biz. If I were to charge for a WP/BB integrated setup, probably $35 or $40, depending on how much I liked ’em.
Cheers Sam, buuut… Don’t you think just putting the H2 titles in the appropriate templates makes more sense? I guess I could put;
post_form( array( ‘h2’ => ” ) );
here and there, but it’s adding stuff where I shouldn’t need to.
Surely putting the H2s in the relevant templates makes more sense, as they can be edited once and forgotten? Having the H2 titles appear by default – and outside of the templates – makes no sense to me at all. Mind you, I didn’t write bbPress, so it’s only a suggestion.
Hello!
I am looking for parnter to create together plugin for buddypress.
Script already works http://sinfulopening.com/search/
– script takes names and desriptions of all caustomers fields from buddypress and create form
– in this form you can check fields used in search and what kind of search
– script generats search form
– you can install this form on the page and search users.
With this plugin easy to create, for example, dating service with buddypress.
In future I want to create search for distance with zipcodes.
I don’t know buddypress good and don’t have expirience to create plugins.
Please, help.
Thanks Chris. I’ll start from scratch again with that going in bb-config.php. I’m having so much fun.
Try this…
<?php if (is_topic() ) : ?>
<?php topic_tags(); ?>
<?php endif; // is_topic() ?>
I use that in my sidebar.php file, and it works fine.
Done. New Keys. New Code. Same Problem. [Sigh….]
Make copy of files and database, upload new files, run example.com/bb-admin/upgrade.php and you’re done
. I’ve done it many times and never had any problems.
Hmm, I guess this function has to be used within topic look, otherwise it won’t work – my only idea is to play with CSS – put the tags within the loop, but on the very bottom of it, then use CSS to move it even lower.
Not every wordpress installation have secure_auth_salt – you can skip this part, as it’s related to https:// protocol – I mean, as long as you’re not using https:// for your websites
.
Oh, I missed a couple of replies. 
Thanks for the compliments. I feel like my forums are hanging by a thread some days, but nothing has completely broken. Mostly, I’m just ready to upgrade to the final release of bbPress 1.0.
Try this…
post_form( array( 'h2' => 'Woot!' ) );
@burtadsit, I think this is what you need for compatibility with WordPress < 2.8:
define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);
