Hi i just insalled bbpress to test it but i cant figure out whats wrong i just get a blank page

This is what ive dona so far: I installed the plugin–> created a forum–> created a page which i named forum–> entered the shortcode

–> When i go to the front i see the page click it and up comes the forum i created when i then click the forum and i get the blank page…–> in the adressfield it says http://www.kanin.se/forums/forum/theforumicreated and the page i blank.

I have the latest wordpress and bbpress

feeling stupid for not seeing the possibly easy solution.

I have searched this forum and the webb even watched a 30 min video on the setup of bbpress didnt get any smarter.

Thanks for your help!

I think it needs to use tables for the User Activity sections.

I say this because there’s a lot of redundant text: You last replied: / User last replied: / Most recent reply:

and it is confusing to look at.

I get 400 error – bad request when trying to run the bb-admin/install script.

I am installing on http://subdomain.domain.com

Host is ASO

Check database username :pass 10 times.

No trailing / at end of http://subdomain.domain.com in config.php

I have tried “/” and /forum/ in config file

I am probably doing something stupid

Any clues?

I’ve tried installing BBPress several times, but I guess I do something wrong because I keep getting this problem.

Like when I click on a topic, the “Your first topic” for example, I get

“The requested URL /forum/topic/1 was not found on this server.”

The URL seems okay, but I get the error so something’s wrong?

I can log in to BBPress, but when I go edit my account I get:

“The requested URL /forum/profile/1/edit was not found on this server.”

Again, the actual URL seems right.

I’m sure there’s something simple I’m missing, like I didn’t set something right in config, but I can’t find it. Any ideas?

Hi. I am trying to make a forum with Buddypress and BBPress (I clicked the install sitewide forums in Buddypress which installed BBPress), I am liking it so far, but I am definitely not liking how it puts the make new topic form (where the title and text entry form is) at the bottom of where the topics are, so people have to scroll down to make a new topic. I could keep that, but I would require a button to be at the top, or else the form, but I would prefer a button to make a new topic in the chosen category.

Is there a way to do this? I will need step by step instructions. I don’t know how to use this yet.

Please help

Hi everyone,

Im new to the worldpress plugin scene coming from a more oop like language like java that uses JavaDoc or Doxygen to describe stuff.

I was wondering how developers writing plugins are finding the hooks/actions/filters they need to solve something. I haven’t found https://codex.bbpress.org/ very helpful because its seems to only document a small collection of functions.

I haven’t found it easy because IDEs don’t tend to detect functional apis with their code completion engines. Is it just a matter of slowly grinding through all the core files trying to memorize all the functions and callbacks? I hope not.

I setup bbpress with a shortcode to display the forums on a page, you can see it here: http://www.clonescriptnews.com/forums/

When you are on that page everything seems to be fine, however if you click on this:

http://www.clonescriptnews.com/forum/forums/general/introductions/

and look at the breadcrumbs, when you try to go back to “forums” by clicking on the breadcrumb Forum link, it’s linked to just “forum” and then it tries to open the forum inside what looks to be a post.

you can view that here (if you click on the breadcrumb forum link, you’ll see this) http://www.clonescriptnews.com/forum/

It seems that no matter what I do in the forum settings area with the forums base and forum slug that keeps happening.

I had an old stand-alone version of bbPress running at one time. I’d like to bring it back up, and obviously upgrade to the newest version. I do not want to have forum users added as users in my main blog. Is my only option to install a second copy of WordPress to power bbPress?

 

Hi there,

I will be redeveloping a site that was written in the Dinosaur age of web development. It is written in Perl, and my task is to port the existing forum into bbPress. I’m looking for thoughts on how to do this.

Thank you!
