We updated from 0.9.0.2 to 1.0.2 bechet. Tags worked fine before the update occured. We do have a custom theme installed and tags worked fine with it installed before the update.

Just reverted to the default theme, and tags are not deleting.

Can you give more detail into what you mean by changes modifying core bbpress files? please and thanks

Thank you for helping me out so far, and providing tips on how to get better support. I apologize that I’m testy. I’ll be more patient.

First off, I’d really like someone to answer me. I’m getting tired of creating threads and nobody seems to have the answer, or doesn’t care about helping out. Unless I’m being spammed. And if that is the case, why. I don’t deserve to be spammed.

Second. We upgraded to the latest version. Topic tags no longer work. We have tried several ways to fix the problem and it still wont fix the problem.

We have tried several ways of removing the tags.

We do not want tags at all. People are posting obscene, hateful content into them. My next step is to have tag history installed, and have those users banned. But to prevent that rash action I want to know. Is there a permanent and well known solution to removing topic tags.

If it makes no sense to you, why post a reply?

Our server is on one of the largest corporate web hosts in the world, Peer One. They could resolve it, but professionally managed servers incur some fees when we have to have them go in.

Somebody must have written the script to create the folders, and done so without the correct user auth. I see this has been discussed on this forum in regards to others’ plugins. It appears to be the same issue.

My thought was that I’m not alone in having this issue with the current install, so maybe it would make sense to someone. Or perhaps they already wrote an uninstall script for it to test on a clean server.

Apparently many users had old copies of bbPress required manual creation of those folders. Thus, when installing a new version, the problem would not manifest itself.

i use atathulpa as well, but my site is not live yet. I am just switching it over to the child theme when testing the plug-in.

though topics and posts are showing up as 0 count, the posts are coming up in my forum, i believe, that they are working on this (i saw the code in an earlier post.)

@rich- i am in communication with the sharedaddy people over the plugin, it was mostly ironically funny, because i am finding the sharedaddy to be a bit of curse everywhere.

overall, as i do use atahualpa for my site, i will probably need to move to a different forum platform all together, or use bbpress stand alone. i wonder if the stand alone will continue to be worked on once the plug-in is official.

however, as i have time, i am willing to experiment a bit, because i feel that bbpress is worth the investment.

Hi,

I’ve just started to test bbpress plug-in on a brand new website :

http://windows-mobile.fr

I installed, activated and created a new forum and a new topic inside this forum.

My problem :

http://windows-mobile.fr/forum >>> 404

http://windows-mobile.fr/topic/test1 >>> 404

(it redirects to http://windows-mobile.fr because of the WP plugin ‘link juice keeper’)

When I check my dashboard I can see :

Forum : test

Topics : 0

Replies : 0

I guess this is the problem. However I don’t understand it because when I look at the topic page it’s correctly linked with its parent forum. Am I just a stupid froggy or what ?

I’m using WP 3.0.1

My theme : Atahualpa Theme by BytesForAll

Any other info needed ?

Thanks for helping !

Best regards to all of you people,

Laurent

testing the plug-in. laughing… I’ve got this crazy sharedaddy plugin on my site, and it is putting facebook and twitter icons on each topic and each reply!!

otherwise it is much smoother and cleaner than I anticipated. will continue to follow changes.

First objective: Prepare your bbpress database

1) Create a database using phpmyadmin or whatever tool your hosting provider gives you to create a mysql database. I like calling mine “bbpress”.

2) Create a database user and give them access to the database you just created. I like calling my user “bbpress” and making a password that is unguessable “K4id83k$h@a” or something.

Second objective: Prepare the bbpress directory

1) Download the latest bbpress installation zip from here: https://bbpress.org/download/

2) Use either an ftp program or the filemanager tool provided by your hosting provider to copy the bbpress zip archive to the root directory of your webserver. Usually something like “public_html”.

3) Use the filemanager tool provided by your hosting provider to unzip the archive into your home directory.

4) Rename the “bbpress” directory to the desired directory name you want to reference in your url. For example if you want: http://www.example.com/forums then rename “bbpress” to “forums”. If you want: http://www.example.com/bbpress then you don’t need to rename the directory at all. This is now your bbpress “home” directory.

5) Delete the bbpress installation archive zip file from your home directory.

6) Advanced: check the permissions of the bbpress home directory. If you want to make things really easy on yourself, make the bbpress home directory world writeable (777) while you run the installation process. (just be sure to change it back when you are finished!)

Final objective: Install bbpress

1) Go to your bbpress home with a browser: http://www.example.com/forums

2) Follow the instructions bbpress gives you in the installation process. You’ll need to provide the username, password, database name and host that you created in objective one.

NOTE: I’d recommend NOT doing the wordpress integration during the install. Just skip it for now. You can set that part up later once bbpress is installed and working.

3) Once you’ve finished following the instructions, you should be good to go!

NOTE: If things go bad and you need to restart the installation process from scratch, you can delete the bb-config.php file from your bbpress home directory and delete the bb_* tables from your database using your database administration tool. Then visit your bbpress home again with your browser to restart the installation process.

XML-RPC Fault #6: No data received from server.

Can you please point your bbPress Mobile to my test forum:

$host = "dump.master5o1.com";

$directory = "/bbpr"; // if you bbPress is in a folder such as /forum



// Make an object to represent our server.

$server = new xmlrpc_client($directory.'/xmlrpc.patched.php?client='.urlencode($brand).'&client_uri='.urlencode($uri), $host, 80);

any idea why my bbpress site would say …

Regisration disabled. This is a demo site. ?

I have used the bbpress integration plug-in on my wordpress site.. the users come through fine…

note: i have two sites:

http://www.terralingua.org/bcdconservation

(this is the one i have linked the database to)

and

http://www.terralingua.org

(underconstruction, in ‘maintenance redirect mode’, meaning it is redirected to my old site, but i enabled registration anyways to test, (has shared users plug-in

I have set up my own forum for testing and support purposes:

http://dump.master5o1.com/bbpr/

I have also pointed my bbPress Mobile instance to that forum:

Sorry to be naiive but is this a plugin or a theme for bbpress? I would be happy to test this for you, as it would be useful for my work.

I have something similar set up for my other wordpress site that has the wp-iphone plug-in and a vast html forum server, it works ok, but it is very useful.

I am not a guru of any sort, but I would be happy to test it for you, provided that I am given some clear guidance. I can find my way around php to make adjustments, but not much yet.

Sorry for the large bump, but I have an issue that needs to be resolved. We also would like the tagging system to be removed. Recently users have been adding in profane, disgusting terms into the tags on threads and its harming our community. A few users have left the community…

So I guess since tags are tied with the coding there is no on-off switch. We cannot delete tags, as it gives us “this tag cannot be deleted” error. We recently upgraded to the latest version.

But “fix” that I found doesn’t fix the problem. It wont help in deleting the tags.

I noticed in this thread that it calls for editing the CSS of the main default CSS. Well the admin uses a custom CSS. Another issue is, well as he put it to me over email:

“Im not removing php files since that’ll cause problem from index when it’ll try to communicate with deleted files.”

We’re all frustrated with the topic tags. Really, there should be an on-off switch. They don’t get used at all. And they are only being used by the trolls in our community.

So is there any other solution to having these tags removed, or at least having users not be able to add tags to threads.

For making bbPress (and WordPress) do what it ain’t supposed to…

please http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

[su131]

I use WordPress 3.0.1 and BuddyPress Plugin. Installed the latest version of bb attachment plugin from this site but when activated gives the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home/www/bla-bla/wp-content/plugins/bb-attachments/bb-attachments.php on line 74

The line itself is as follows:

$bb_attachments=bb_get_option(‘url’).trim(str_replace(array(trim(BBPATH,”/\”),”\”),array(“”,”/”),dirname(__FILE__)),’ /\’).’/icons/’;

Could you, guys, help me with resolving it please

Thank you thank you

Sorry for the newbness of my question, but I was wondering if there’s a way to try out bbpress without having to pay for a cloud server? I want to test out the products before spending any money.

Thx

1) Grab the latest version of the bbPress .pot: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot

2) Open it with a gettext editor, POEdit is a good one: http://www.poedit.net/

3) Translate it

bbPress supports rtl without problems as well as UTF-8.

To put it simply I need to unhash / decrypt the password to reveal the current password in the database.

I have found this topic http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-administer-my-site#post-73724

which indicates the password is md5 encoded

However testing md5(‘mypass’) in mysql5 produces a value quite different from the ‘mypass’ used in the bbPress table.
