I would like to help, just don’t know what would be wrong. I might even suggest going backwards to a release previous as I still am using 0.3 or something and it works fine even with the latest TRAC. Might just be a bug….

Hi,
Thank you for letting me know. I suspect the problem is something to do with the fact that an extra database field has been created, and the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin is not updating that field. I have downloaded the plugin and will look at the code to see what’s going on — the fix may have to be in ‘bbPress Post’ rather than my plugins – but it may just be a small code change you can make yourself.
So, I’ll get back to you in this topic later.
Hi there
I installed both of these to my forums today and they look great and do exactly what they’re supposed to – but since installing I can no longer automatically cross-post blog entries to the forums using the bb Press Post plugin, http://dev.mbzeus.net/
What happens is blog entries do appear on the forums but they appear as having been closed topics – though of course I didn’t close them – and I can’t open them up while nobody comment on them in the forums.
Any ideas, please? I don’t want to undo the work I did today getting your plugins working on my forums but I do find the other plugin very useful and there’s no other out there as far as I am aware….?
My forum is at http://thehathorlegacy.info/forum/. It’s for discussing how women are portrayed in film and TV.
I’m using the Crystal theme by http://33rockers.com/. I’m using wmarcy’s fix listed above until Bozo and Akismet stop marking half the posts as spam.
For plugins:
bb-avatar
bb-limit-latest-discussion
comment_QT_4_bbpress (quick tags to make the comment box more user-friendly – awesome!)
fix-bbpress (which I think is awaiting a fix of its own, LOL)
patch-to-URL (can’t honestly recall what version this one was for?)
This is my migrated phpBB forum. It’s integrated with my main site rather tightly (UI-wise, not database), and I did a bit of modification to the post layout, making the best use of the narrow column I think. Other than that, just your usual CSS tweakage.
It’s not live yet, so I welcome feedback:
http://automatorworld.com/bbpress/
The plugins I’m using are:
Comment Quicktags
Front Page Topics
Post Notification
Page links
Quote
edit: Please feel free to register and test post, I would welcome the Q&A 
It works if you are willing to download the latest TRAC version from https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/ and then scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking the ‘download in other format – Zip format’. That is the latest development version. Then you have to change your config.php to have:
$bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs';
Your .htaccess file should just be back to whatever you had before. Mine is just the + MultiViews part.

Looking at it quickly, you must be using the force login plugin. Try disabling it and find out if it is somehow stopping the posts from showing up. This will involve just taking it out of the /my-plugins/ directory for the quick test and then clearing the cache of the plugin in WP (if it caches anything) and your browser cache. Something smells funny and I would imagine that could be the problem as it doesn’t even allow an RSS feed to show up.

Trent, the problem url is here:
http://passionforcinema.com/club/topic.php?id=226&page&replies=240
if you check this thread and go back to the home page you will see that there is a discrepancy between the actual thread and on the home page w.r.t. what is the most recent post in the thread.
you’ll have to log in to access the site. where I can email you your username and password.
trent, sorry was away. no I’m keeping wp and bbpress seperate except for the user integration plugin. I’ll create a user for you and send it to you right away.
Let us give him some more time…
I don’t think it was designed for ‘undelete’ on tags. I haven’t test this myself, but there is a utility in the admin to delete tags on posts that don’t exist, so I was under the assumption that the tags stay even if the post is deleted. I have some time tonight and will test this further myself. If it deletes the tags with the recent TRAC version, then I can file a ticket for you.
Trent
I am over my head when combining WP and bbPress functions and know next to nothing with Ajax. Hopefully mdawaffe (Michael) will see this post or head over to https://bbpress.org/about/development/ and see if you can contact him another way!
Trent
If you changed from 1.3 to 2.2 in Apache and it worked before the upgrade, it must have something in there that it doesn’t like with the Mod Rewrite handling. I am not sure myself, but I would change my .htaccess in the bbPress root folder of http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/forums/ to have only:
Options +MultiViews
Nothing else. Try it in that and in your http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/bkrv/ test run with the new version as well. Either way, it should work for one of them. That works best with most servers I have used and they are using Apache 2+. Try that out maybe and if not, take Fel64’s suggestion and put the contents of what is outputted by: /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
Trent
If you change the config.php to have the correct information for WP and then login using a user from WP, it will start to use the users out of the wp_users versus bb_users table. I tested this back with 0.74 and it worked, so I can’t see why it would not do this with the newest version, but it is worth a go to prove it. The biggest thing is copying the information from bb_usermeta to wp_usermeta for the keymaster, admin, mods, ect because that is where the information on the user will ‘now’ need to be from that table. If I try this again in the next day or so, I can try and post up some kind of FAQ.

Currently i’m trying to develop something using wordpress & bbpress.
Everything flows pretty good when talking on functionality and the rest of features, but there is a problem.
Actually 2 problems. First I already posted here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867
And now the second one:
The final release has to be in another language but english. It’s true, I found no troubles translating bbpress in my language and the rest of updated wordpress. But after what I’ve integrated both of api’s: the wordpress and bbpress; this resulted in the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /var/www/pm/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26
I suppose it’s because of the translations, cause when I did not defined BBLANG, everything worked well.
After a bit I thought, that a solution for my problem can be joining both of the bbpress and wordpress translation .mo’s and defining just WPLANG for my language settings. That worked, but I dont see this as a pretty simple and accessible solution for everybody!
I would be glad getting some help on that, If there is any other more easier solution, that would be cool.
If Trent’s theory is correct (and it sounds good) I think the best thing for you to do is to plonk that javascript reference in a plugin (that’s certainly the neatest thing). This is probably the code you need.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Javascript Spoilers
Plugin URI: [Enhanced SS page]
Description: Makes little javascript buttons to show and hide text in spoiler tags. A port of a WP plugin.
Author: [Author of Enhanced SS]
Version: 0.1
Author URI: [Author of Enhanced SS homepage]
*/
function ess_addjs()
{
$plugin_uri = bb_get_option('uri') . str_replace(BBPATH, '', BBPLUGINDIR);
$js_uri = $plugin_uri . 'enhancedss.js';
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $js_uri . '" />' . "n";
}
add_action('bb_head', ''ess_addjs);
?>
You will have to modify the javascript filename from enhancedss.js to whatever it’s actually called.
Copy and paste all that into a plain-text file, call it something.php and upload it to your plugins folder. Also upload the enhancedss.js file to that folder.
Almost all that code was totally ripped off from Sam Bauer’s Page links plugin.
I went back to my roots and changed from my “onvertigo – binary moon” theme back to my trentadams.ca theme! I attempt to use every single plugin I find as I usually test them out on my forum! I always run the most recent TRAC version!

Bedbugger, kannued found out that an upgraded apache server caused the permalinks problem for them and the default theme worked with permalinks turned off. Could you test that for me?
Trent
If you can just put the tags in if you don’t have the ‘visual editor’ turned on for WP and it calls a javascript in the header, it must just parse the page for those tags. Why not test this theory and include the javascript in your theme’s header.php and make a post with the tags you have! It might also need including the other files as well, but I know the anarchy media script works that way. The script called in header.php parses the page for files that end with .mp3, .mov, etc and then creates the flash file around them! Worth a try!
Trent
First off, do this. In your config.php, turn the mod_rewrite to false and make sure that it works that way. If that works, we can try getting your URL’s working again, just make sure that it is working. If you have phpmyadmin access on your server you can check the bb_posts table to see if the actual posts are there (I am sure they are) as they are showing the topics and the number of posts still. It seems like a permalinks problem and starting by turning them off will be the quickest way to test that.
Trent
Oh….akismet is in the config.php and it shouldn’t have a number in there, but be false. If the posts are not showing up in Akismet, then they are most likely not being stopped by it…..you are using the plugin for WP to show the lastest bbPress topics then?
Trent
Strange….could you give me a URL to see this problem in action? Maybe create me as a user if you confine bbPress registration to your WP or give me the URL of your forum? I might be able to test this and see if we can fix it.
Trent
Brilliant Sam! I will implement this one for sure and test it out!
Trent
This might be a feature rather than a bug, but anyway:
I did a long test post with the tag ‘test’, and then clicked “not spam” on the Akismet Spam page. The post then appeared on the site, but the tag was removed. (The tag still appears in the tag cloud, but doesn’t point to anything.)
I’m guessing Akismet strips tags since they’re an easy target for spam. If so, would it be possible for it to remember the tags for the sake of false positives?
