Do you have any issues transitioning from a desktop environment to a server environment (as I did, with MySQL and PHP versions and configs and such)?
To tell you the truth, I didn’t have any issues going from my Xampp Lite localhost copies, straight to my live servers. I just find it odd though that this whole time of running that bbPress on the localhost, and just applying the SVN updated files from time to time. It was fine..
It was only when I installed it fresh, with the latest copies of Trunk that it gave me this problem. I SVN CO the trunk on my other new domain via SSH and it went smoothly… no troubles though, I guess that’s to be expected. Hmm.. I’ll have to look into the problem a little deeper.
I’m trying to when I have the time, but with being so busy.. it’s hard taking a gander at it…sigh.
How about installing a linux distro in house since your server is linux also?
Geesh, didn’t even think of that, or try it. Thanks for that, I’ll have to give it a go then.

I am not testing, but editing.
Sorry for being so harsh about the time that it takes to install bbP.
I would use rs discuss, which I also cannot install on my freshly reinstalled xampp and WP.
I think this is the plugin you were thinking about, Null. It worked very well for me:

What OS is the live site/server running? I have always had problems testing on platforms other than the final one, even from linux to linux, with things like PHP and MySQL versions. So, the testing I did never seemed worth it. Why not set up a subfolder or subdomain on the live host and play there, to eliminate variables?
I think the developers could better use their resources making bbPress work in production environments (MS and *nix) rather than on localhost. There seem to be quite a few path/slashconfig issues getting it running on localhost.
What is bbPress used for when installed locally on a Windows machine? Is that just a test environment?
Or use the frontpage plugin, then you can do this in the admin area (can’t find the direct plugin url right now but it’s there somewhere….)
When the install is live on the internet, it seems to be easier to fix. The fact that this install of your is on a localhost can arrive as so many different problems. Check out the following posts:

Are you testing? Is that why you are installing on your own computer? Do you have a host to test this out on?

This is a setting in your config.php, but if you are interested in limiting discussion based on time, check out this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/21?replies=1
Otherwise:
// The number of topics that show on each page.
$bb->page_topics = 30;
Trent
Is there a way to limit the number of topics listed under the Latest Discussions part?
Sorry to get back to you late here. I would imagine that importing from phpBB into bbPress will associate the users into bb_users. Being integrated, bbPress uses wp_users. That might cause some problems. Maybe you can edit the phpBB => bbPress importer to put the users into wp_users versus bb_users. That being said, *****BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST******
You might want to install a test install on your server and try it there first as I am not sure what the consequences of doing it would be. Nothing too painful, but it might make you have to make a few changes to make sure the posts get associated with the right authors! One way to find out! Good luck!

Doing that for the permalink didn’t work for me. I’ve tried it several times.
There are a couple of things I want to do with the “author” as opposed to the “last poster”:
1) On front-page.php I want to put the topic author’s name under the link to each of the latest discussions.
Ex:
Link to topic
By link to topic author
2) On the topic pages, I want to put the name of the post, then link to the post author.
Ex:
Topic Title
By link to topic author on Date/Time
Rest of post……
This type of setup is already on my forum. I’ve already got the author’s name already set up on the forum. I just need to get the author’s profile link.
I hate to ask, but did you turn on the options to show icons in the admin pages?
You need to be logged in as a keymaster, then go to “Site Management” -> “Support Forum”.
Also make sure you have the latest version of the plugin.
Otherwise, do you get any errors in your logs that might help us?
funkyloveb, so sorry for your inconvenience.
I reply to your forum to testing the Multibyte character Tag.
Do you have any way to show UTF8 tag properly?
I try this post & fix 0.8.1 still not solve the problmes.
actually, I’m bbpress fans, even I dislike the bugs, so I try the latest version, 0.8.1, but It still have some bull shit function, why admin post new reply still need to be moderate? after logout show no new reply.
is it necessary?
so sorry I lost control myself for looking just a simple forum app for my blog.
why so hassle to use it.
From what I see in topic 856, it seems I’m late again. Does your last message mean that everything’s OK now? I still don’t understand how the cache of 3 different browsers conspired against us, so maybe there’s a problem with the script. Maybe a recount is needed after use. Or it does something wrong to the database under some circumstances, I don’t know. I can say that I didn’t have your problem, but I’ve only tested with bbPress 0.74 and 0.80, and barely enough to have a feeling that it worked (posting after the import is one of the few things I tried). And all feedback I’ve had has come from this topic, so if it is something in the script, you were the first to notice.
I have no plugins its fresh install.
Thanks heaps, you can have a look but I warn you it may be ugly and hard to read as I am stuffing around with the CSS at the moment
The site isn’t live to the public but you can see it here

the topic “your first topic” should show 2 posts and there should be a second topic called “test topic!!!”
The topic tag list is a list, so marking it up as such is semantically correct, so the best practice way of rendering that list in the way you want is, as Trent suggests, through CSS.
This article covers inline lists, which is what you’re describing.
See this for a more terse example.
testing testing 中文标签测试。
Tag in Chinese character.
Seems like this is some kind of cache problem. I tested it in 3 different browsers on my Ubuntu box, clearing the cache, nothing worked until I restarted my box. So I think somehow the cache got messed up.
Yeh AMP has 2 ways to embed media, one uses SWFObject to embed Flash movies, like all the youtube etc stuff. The other tests simple href links in the page for media file extensions .mp3, .flv, .mov etc, and if it finds them it loads em.
It’s just the SWFObject javascript embeds that need to be handled behind the scenes by a bbPress plugin as I take it most everyone knows how to make simple href links. For these all you need is the javascript call in the head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://PATH TO PLAYER DIRECTORY/anarchy_media/anarchy.js"></script>
And yeh, no idiocy required, apart from my own idiocy of ommission … I should really get around to documenting what anarchy.js actually does and add that to the download package so it’s all clearer than opaque mud… sort of more a translucent mud hopefully.
Since that only has to happen once, if you added the tables that should be the end of it. I tested the process on my own server and had 2 others test it on theirs. A lot of people have downloaded and installed the plugin, and a minority have had problems. Unfortunately, I am unsure how to fix this problem for that minority, but the commands you posted should work or people can copy the commands directly from the plugin themselves… it’s the first subroutine in the main plugin file (bb-privatemessages.php)
I had problems too. The table was not created. I had to do it manualy. I have all of the latest updates for both WP and bbPress so I dont know what went wrong. To fix the data base issue go to you myphp admin (data base) and give the following command.
CREATE TABLE bb_privatemessages (
pm_id BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
id_sender INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
id_receiver INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
seen INT( 2 ) NOT NULL ,
pmtitle VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL ,
message VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
created_on DATETIME NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( pm_id )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;
This solved my problems for now.
In testing, the position of the class=”login” seems to be the culprit. If it is position=relative, then the form moves to the very top and is clickable. But if it is changed to position=absolute, then it moves into its place in correctly, but is no longer clickable.
Can’t figure this out yet.

If you pre-encrypt the password and insert that value, you can then log in with your new password (in this case “test”).
Hello chrishajer
1) This topic is extremely relevant to the topic heading. It takes up more of my time if I have to view a bunch of different topics all on the same issue. When I am looking for a solution to a problem, I prefer to see one topic with different possibilities to the problem. This originating topic only started one month ago.
2) I hope it is a css problem. I can’t seem to find the double entry in the style sheet on the login form. Perhaps it is a z-index problem. I am still testing.
