Can you make sure you can still send email from your server? If you have ssh/command line access, you can try this:
php -r 'mail( 'you@yourdomain.com', "subject: test", "message: test", 'From: you@yourdomain.com');'
If you have FTP access, put this into a file called mailer.php (or whatever.php you want) and then navigate to it with a browser”
<html>
<body>
<?php
mail( 'you@yourdomain.com', "subject: test", "message: test", 'From: you@yourdomain.com');
echo "Mail should have been sent, check your inbox";
?>
</body>
</html>
Once you know if you can send email from your server, you can move forward.
Hello all,
When I installed bbpress intially, everything worked fine. After about a month of use though, the email message is not being sent during registration. I assume this might be due to a change with my host (dreamhost) but I don’t have any idea where to start looking for the problem.
I also have many wordpress blogs installed across dreamhost and have experienced no such problem on any of them.
Can someone please point me in a direction (to test) that might lead to a solution?
Thanks
Ryan
What I mean is, when I wrap text in backticks, it actually converts it to <pre><code> and removes the contents, replacing it with a random character, like an “n” or whatever.
I want to be able to just use backticks for code, but I can’t. That’s the problem.
Edit: Here’s an example. I created a post that looks like this (swapping a backtick for “[backtick]” so it won’t get eaten:
[backtick]test[backtick]
What it spit out is this (swapping parens for brackets so it wont get eaten):
(pre)(code)s`
(/code) `
Cheers mirfan – your fix worked a treat! (I’ve got an XP install using WAMP as a server – just for testing stuff atm).
Beautiful, it worked, thanks!
Click: (to front) in: [Stick topic (to front)] and not the [Stick topic…] part
Not sure if I was completely clear on this one. If you view the bbPress forum page, then under the latest discussions there are stickies. I am not sure if this a feature unique to the forum located here, but when I turn a topic into a sticky it only sticks inside the forum it is registered, and it doesn’t stick in the latest discussion section (like the stickies on this forum’s latest discussions).
Thanks for the help.
Hello Individual,
are you using the Latest Discussions plugin? There is no simple switch to flick that I know of.
The way to do it I think is to find all stickies – perhaps there’s an API function, perhaps you need a quick database query – output them, count them and output the remaining number of threads the way it’s done now. You could work that into the current plugin. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, perhaps someone will do it for you. 
No problem,
fel
Hey Community,
I created a sticky that works inside a forum, but how do I get it to work in the latest discussions area?
Thanks,
Orion
Hope this is the right place. I just installed the latest svn version on my local pc, and got the forementioned error twice (also with topic_slug field). Running mysql 5.0.

Sorry if this has been dealt with, but I’ve searched the forums for this and haven’t found anything. I’m pretty sure this is not a bozo issue.
Using bbPress 0.8.1 with WordPress 2.1
Just installed not long ago and am testing now…
I am able to add forums with no problem.
But, when I add a new post to a given forum, it appears to save (it does in fact, as I checked the db table). However, it doesn’t show up in the forum post counts on the front page, and unless I navigate back to the form where I added the post, I lose it completely.
I’ve tried subscribing to a new post that I just saved, and I get the message “Something strange happened, please try refreshing”. I do refresh, and the message goes away, but nothing else happens, and the post is still lost in limbo.
Any tags attached to the post do show up correctly –it’s just the post itself that is gone.
Thanks for any help!

When i was using author.php for my wordpress profile i used the following code to show the latest blog posts i had made
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
Posted @ <?php the_time(‘d M Y’); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Well well, it looks as if this user has no posts. Nevermind!’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This doesn’t work in my bbpress profile, even though i have the 2 integrated. Any ideas of how i could get it to work?
I’m running version 8.1 and it isn’t a directory so it looks like this;
http://www.radioavivamiento.com/foro/rss.php
Again thanks guys.
Sorry, wrong syntax, but it does work with:
https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/
http://onvertigo.com/rss/
fel64, you must think I am crazy today eh as I can’t seem to get anything straight the first time!!

I haven’t got that, and nor do you Trent. Incidentally the bb forums feed you linked to is empty but entitled “Comments on: Forums”, tagline “Just another WordPress weblog”.
It should work just having the main RSS feed like this sites:
https://bbpress.org/forums/feed/
Mine would be:
http://onvertigo.com/feed/
Thanks,
Trent
DANG IT! There is no RSS for recent topics, is there?
I only found RSS for each forum.
Oh, oh, oh, the RSS Feed will do just fine. Awesome. I have several RSS feeds already running on the homepage so the RSS will work GREAT! Thanks for opening my eyes!
There’s probably a filter similar to latest_topics, where you could check if the forum name is the same as the one you want to get rid of.
Hi,
I have made a own forum page that shows the topics from just 1 forum. For this page I used the front-page.php and index.php files as a base. Everything works fine except the hyperlinks. All hyperlinks from the topics are shown as plain text instead of like this: http://www.test.com
Any thoughts how to fix this?
Here is what I have in my front-page.php:
<h2><?php _e('Hightest Ratings'); ?></h2>
<table id="highest">
<tr>
<th><?php _e('Highest Rated Topics'); ?></th>
<th><?php _e('Rating'); ?></th>
<th><?php _e('#'); ?></th>
</tr>
<?php $topics = bb_top_topics(); ?>
<?php foreach ($topics as $topic); ?>
<tr<?php alt_class('forum'); ?>>
<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a>
<td><div class="rating-holder"><?php bb_rating();?>
<td class="num"><?php bb_rating_count(); ?>
</table>
This code is only showing the first topic it comes across with a rating.
See what I am talking about at: http://www.wetworx.com/forums/
Any help would be appreciated.
Gack!
I listed a bunch of WordPress plugins. That doesn’t help. Basically, the concept is the same. You need to grab the RSS feed from bbPress and insert that into your site.
How about any of these techniques?

The first result looked promising…
The Gathering theme is on http://spencerp.net currently…
I could always import the content from WP to MT though, couldn’t I? LOL! I already had MT setup within 15 minutes on a sub domain name a few weeks back, shouldn’t take me too much longer to set it up this time.. whee!
Maybe could setup phpBB 3.0 whatever the hell the latest version is now… Got up that over here now: http://www.vindictivebastard.net/forum
I don’t know though.. hmm
