Thanks. When I returned this evening the database was magically populated with the bbPress tables. Any idea why I would get that kind of error during installation, then somehow it fixes itself? I’m assume it’s fixed anyway, I haven’t yet taken it for a test run but should be OK. Very strange.

I’ve been dealing with Wordperss for the last few months. I liked it and decided to use it as CMS for my web page, as you can see in:

http://www.opes.es

First of all, is in spanish sorry. But as you can see on tests you can search for tests and complete them. Then forum topics(bbPress plugin 2.0) topics are created linked to the question.

Anyway, I would like to find something like a guide with the basic instructions about creating custom posts, and to rewrite the information I need to pass as parameters. Now, as you can see in the website, the test id for example is send to the web as a get parameter without been rewrited(?ID=x). Not pretty at all, and apparently not good for search engines.

Thank you all.

[pimarts]

Thanks a lot for that reply, going to test it out in my beta enviroment right now

Hi Everyone,

I am newbie in WP, I have just installed and integrate WPMU3.2.1 and BBPress1.0.x. The steps as bellow:

– Install WPMU on vitural host: http://wordpress-mu/

– Install BBPress is subdomian: http://wordpress-mu/forum

– Config bbpress and wp follow guideline.

After install completed I test on FF3, everything works well:

– Login in to wordpress and switch to bbpress: the cookies are sync..

– Logout from bbpress (also clear auth cookies of wp)

– Login from bbpress (also sync cookies of WP)

But I meet one issue on IE(GChrome) brower:

– When I login on WP and Switch to forum then signle-sign-on work ok. When I click logout on BBpress then It does not work.

– And I cannot login on BBpress. (cookie is not set)

After debug I found the cause is the cookies are not set.

function set_auth_cookie( $user_id, $expiration = 0, $expire = 0, $scheme = ‘auth’ ) of Class WP_Auth. (class.wp_auth.php)

At line 273 of file class.wp_auth.php

setcookie( $_cookie, $cookie, $expire, $_cookie, $domain, $secure, true );

Dedault $domain = ‘.wordpress-mu’: with this value the login does not work on IE.

when I set $domain = null then the Login work.

Please help me to solve this issue!

My english is not good, expect everyone to ignore.

Thanks & Best regards,

Pham Tuan Anh

It’s hard to know for sure how a service like Akismet is working. I can look at stats, but I can’t examine the rejected posts. All I can say is, there is no spam.

Anyone here is welcome to test the (v2.0-beta-3b) forum using Akismet. Try to spam it.

I’m having the problem “click ‘Avatar’ in profile, go back to home page” problem as well.

I’ve narrowed it down to the bb_auth call in the avatar-upload.php file line 7. The cookies – at least for me, an admin – seem wrong. I’m going to clear my cookies and try it again. I’m also going to test with a different user – not an admin and see how that goes.

Hello,

For what it is worth I have the same issue on this combination:

BBPress 1.0.3

WP: 3.2.1

bbPress Integration Plugin – latest from wordpress plugins repository as of 7/25/2011

Any ideas on where I should start?

The bbAdmin user can post new topics, forums, replies, etc however any other user type does not have an option to add a new topic or reply to existing topic, but they can SEE topics, forums and posts made by the bbPress admin.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

Test Sub cat 5 8

Like that..How can i remove those ‘0’..I just want to print nothing there, i mean an empty space..

Also is it possible to install the bbpress in root and then wordpress in a foldr below that and integrate both..?

Please help..

Thanks in advance.

Soba.

[Scripty2]

also – just to add one more piece of information – I saw in another thread that it was suggested to run tools -> recount. This had no effect. It said:

Counting the number of topics in each forum… Complete!

Counting the number of replies in each forum… Complete!

Counting the number of replies in each topic… Complete!

Counting the number of voices in each topic… Complete!

Counting the number of spammed and trashed replies in each topic… Complete!

Counting the number of topics to which each user has replied… Failed!

Removing trashed topics from user favorites… Nothing to remove!

Removing trashed topics from user subscriptions… Nothing to remove!

Recomputing latest post in every topic and forum… Complete!

I have written a converter for phpBB (prob an older version) to bbpress (the native Word Press version, Version 2.0-beta-3) for a client. Imports everything but the private messages at the moment. phpBB usernames had to be massaged to have spaces and punctuation removed.

This would not be free, but inexpensive, shareware prices. But a few beta testers to see if it might be generally useful would be nice. Contact me if interested.

[pimarts]

I wasn’t asking, I was telling the topic starter

Anyway, is that link to the plugin on the download page new?

[chrishajer]

@pimarts, that is correct, running the old plugin version here.

You can download either version here:

https://bbpress.org/download/

[pimarts]

Just to be sure: This forum runs the stand-alone version of bbPress NOT the WordPress plugin.

[navjyotiu]

Testing how it works

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

is_bbpress() function currently doesn’t account for tag pages – http://dev.example.net/forums/topic-tag/testing/

Is it by design? I think it should account tag pages as they basically are bbPress pages.

[Doug Smith]

I just wanted to add that I pulled down the latest from svn and there were some changes in the importer code. Still no luck, though.

[anmari]

Hi I just tested wordpress plugin Relevansii

It allows you to override the “exclude from search” that the bbpress custom post types may have.

It then searches those posttypes too when a normal wp serach is done.

[anmari]

I have a number of local test sites. I have them all accessing the same wp-content folder.

The only one that shows the forum menu options is the main one that has the wp-content folder in it’s normal structure.

The others that have WP_CONTENT.. etc defined in wp-config do not show the forum menu options.

Seems like maybe the wrong constants or functions being used maybe?

[Doug Smith]

I’ve been attempting to import an existing standalone bbPress install into the plugin version without success. The existing forum is integrated with WordPress. According to the dashboard, it has 31 forums, 6,693 topics, 42,525 posts, 2,545 tags, and 2,711 users.

I set up a test install on my local computer with MAMP Pro, and brought the database and files over. All bbPress plugins and all plugins in WordPress except bbPress are disabled. I bumped up the memory and time limits for PHP.

It chugged through about half of the forums and their topics then just stopped without any error message. I thought this might be PHP timing out or running out of memory so I bumped max_execution_time and max_input_time to several hours and memory_limit to 2048M and tried again. It stopped at the same place with these settings.

There are no relevant messages in my php, mysql, or apache error logs.

I did a repair and optimize on the database tables then did a re-count of all items in the old bbPress forum and tried again. It was very close to the same result with only stopping a few posts sooner.

I looked in the database and checked the message it stopped on and the next numerical topic id messages and didn’t see any odd characters in the post content or title.

One other thing I noticed is that when I went back to the import screen it recognized that I had a partial import with the message “It looks like you attempted to convert your bbPress standalone previously and got interrupted.” I used the “Continue previous import” button but it started back at the beginning again. I’ve also tried the “Cancel & start a new import” button with not change in the results.

Any ideas where else to look, things to try, or additional information I can supply? Thanks.

To show the graphical smilies you must first allow graphical smilies in WordPress. Do that by going into Settings > Writing and ticking the “Convert emoticons like …”

That will allow standard WP smilies and show the smiley panel on the toolbar. The custom smileys is an option in the toolbar settings page.

I’ll look into where a relevant action hook is for the comments section as well as the id/name of the comment postbox. But I’ll really only be able to test this for the TwentyTen, TwentyEleven and BuddyPress default themes at this time.

[pimarts]

Isn’t this line in the CSS:

content fieldset.bbp-form, #container fieldset.bbp-form, #wrapper fieldset.bbp-form

Try something like this:

content fieldset.bbp-form, #container fieldset.bbp-form, #wrapper fieldset.bbp-form {

border:0;

}

You might want to try border:0 !important; if it doesn’t work.

I didn’t test it by the way.

[pimarts]

Yeah I tried that a couple of times already, because I remembered that being a problem in the beginning.

I have a custom structure with “/%category%/%postname%/” at common settings. And the optional fields are blank.

I’ll probably have to look into the WordPress & Buddypress files to see where they do a 301 re-direct. Because when I installed httpfox and did record a session I saw the browser getting a 301 re-direct.

This is in my htaccess file by the way:

But taking that out (the W3TC stuff) doesn’t change anything, so the problem isn’t in there.

[pimarts]

In my search.php I only return the title & excerpt. And that works perfectly, until I add the the code above and one of the results is a topic / reply. I assume that’s when bbPress takes over the entire output?

The first result has the breadcrumbs, “This topic has 1 voice, contains 0 replies, and was last updated by.” line, the style of a topic and a reply form. Pretty much just the whole viewtopic page. The results after that (both replies, topics AND blog posts) only display the content (with HTML in it). No titles on either the first or the replies after that. That’s expected behaviour?

As for that appending:

You mean http://www.domain.com/?ts=test or http://www.domain.com/?rs=test? That doesn’t seem to work for me.

I might want to go the Google search way, but for whatever reason I never liked it when sites implemented that. I can’t really say why though haha.

[sovery]

Thank you Andre! You helped clarify, a bunch.

FYI, at this point I’m using Genesis and a customized Genesis child theme. I got the child theme to be “recognized,” via the “bbpress integration” plugin by putting in a line of code into my custom functions.php file. But now I can’t get the actual *forum* to appear in the basic “page” I created (yes, I put in shortcode: [bbp-forum-index] and published, and made “public.”) I also tried putting in shortcode for showing ONE particular forum. Nothing shows up. I only have one forum (as a test).

I think I’m missing something very obvious here, or, my overall WP 3.2.1 setup is too weirdly customized to even use bbPress at this point. Not sure.

Thanks for trying to help, though. I do appreciate it! I’m looking forward to seeing any new improved documentation they release (“step-by-step” for dummies would be GREAT! maybe a video, too?). I think that would help a LOT for people like me who have never used forum-ware at all, just regular WP plugins.
