"Send Reply" confusing for new topics

Published on June 24th, 2011 by Nyhm

When creating a new topic, the submit button reads “Send Reply” which is semantically incorrect. (Forgive me if this is a known issue, I’m new here and just wanted to make a quick note of this.)

Login frustration at bbpress.org

Published on June 24th, 2011 by Nyhm

Just a suggestion to clarify the login options for bbpress.org.

Upon registration, my username was taken. Figuring I had forgotten I had already registered, I requested a password reset email. Sure enough, I received such an email from bbpress.org including a password reset link. Following the link, I was told that I may not change my password.

Now I’m stuck with no way to submit for any assistance. I tracked down the most active user here to his buddypress.org page, which indicates I can login with my wordpress.org account, which works (same username).

So, I try my luck with my wordpress.org account at bbpress.org, and here I am. Single-signon with wordpress.org is fine… but not clear to new visitors (reflects poorly on the state of bbPress as a first impression).

Please understand, I’m not trying to be critical, and I like what I’m seeing from bbPress. I’m just giving this use-case to help improve the experience. Best wishes.

Using bbpress as a plugin. How to access bbp-admin?

Published on June 24th, 2011 by seoguy81

I installed the bbpress plugin into my wordpress installation. I cannot access the bbp-admin folder to install further plugins. Is this possible?

I tried www.mydomain.com/forum/bbp-admin as well as www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin

Please help!

Database connection error

Published on June 24th, 2011 by arbingersys

I’m scratching my head on this one. I can’t get bbPress to install, and it always complains about connecting to the database.

The mySql server is remote, and I’ve tried adding it in with the hostname as well as the IP. No dice.

I know the default answer is a credentials problem, but if I use SSH and connect to the website that will host bbPress, I can do

mysql -h hostname -uusername -ppassword

and connect fine.

I can also use the above command to connect from my workstation, remotely. I’ve copy-pasted the credentials dozens of times, verified that it has read/write access to the DB, etc.

I’ve even copied bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php and edited it manually, but it still can’t connect to the database.

Any ideas what I might try next? Thanks.

How to remove the default bbpress user edit?

Published on June 24th, 2011 by seoguy81

Im using the jobroller theme which comes with it’s own edit profile interface. Is there a way to tweak the bbpress user edit URL so the users are taken to the default edit profile page?

I’m editing the bbp-user-template.php but kind of stuck here.

Appreciate any responses.

P.S: Instead of rewriting the URLS.. I just want to divert people to something.com/myprofile

Recent Discussions, which forum is it posted in?

Published on June 24th, 2011 by anyone88

Hi there,

First of all, thank you for this amazingly powerfull forum software. With the right modifications, it does exactly what i wanted!

However, iam using this forum on 2 websites with modded versions of Kakumei and Misty theme. In theste themes it shows a recent discussions tab above fora. What it doesnt do however, is show where these discussions are taking place! Is there a code/plugin for this? I wasnt able to find one. So iam looking for sumpthing that creates a extra column (called forum or wathever) were the location of the discussion is mentioned.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Ruben

Two unrelated bugs? Password reset and bbPress Forum List widget

Published on June 23rd, 2011 by schrepel

1) If a user clicks “log in here” from any forum, and they log in as normal, it redirects (correctly) back to the forum page. However, if they click “lost your password?” and then do a password change and log in, it takes them back to the blog homepage, not forums. Any way to hold the “redirect back to forum” querystring through the password-reset/login process?

2) When I drag bbPress Forum List widget to the main sidebar of the bbPress/twentyten theme, all widgets below that one disappear (not in the admin dashboard, but in the forum page itself). The bbPress Topic list widget works fine, just not the Forum List.
