bbPress.org

As in topic. Let’s say I have site http://the-forum.com And when I entering the-forum.com/bb-admin it points to main site even though I am logged in as key master. And because of that I can’t admin my forum. Forum is integrated with wordpress (both db integration and cookie one).

Suddenly new users are unable to register.

Error:

“There was a problem with your email; please check it.”

Doesn’t matter what the email address is, or who tries to register. No one can do it, everyone gets this error.

I don’t understand. Nothing’s changed that I know of.

I searched for this, but found nothing.

Please help.

Is there a way I can set up a forum so that an individual (or group of individuals) can:

A) Post new topics, where anyone can post followups.

and/or

Post new topics where no one else can post (ie: readonly to everyone else)

I have tried and tried to make this work and searched forums high and low but have not had any luck making bbPress work with Buddypress.

I have done the following (In the following order):

Fresh install of WP 3.1.2

Fresh install of Buddypress 1.2.8

Then I went to Buddypress > Forums Setup > setup a new bbPress installation

(I even tried a separate install of bbPress but kept getting “page cannot be displayed” errors when going to the URL to set it up.)

I see a Forums menu now and created a group called Public.

BUT, how to add add Main topics like “General Discussion”, “Questions”, etc and allow users to create sub-topics? (Like every other forum on the web.)

All I want is for users to visit my site and be able to see main and sub-topics and then read the forums. Then if they want to participate, create an account and login in… again, just like most other sites with forums on the webs.

And I’ll even volunteer to write documentation on the entire process if only I could understand it. It seem that things are assumed (such as created Groups being mandetory) only they aren’t well documented.

WP forums have some instructions, BP has some more and this site even more. Only it appears that none seem ot overlap and some important info is missing.

It’s like getting a shiny new car only no one told you that you need to add an extra part to make it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I’ve just migrated an large, but insanely spam-infested vBulletin forum over to bbPress (via phpBB3). The migration wasn’t really smooth, but I was able to at least get the data across.

Now that I have everything up and running in bbPress, I want to bulk-scan all the existing posts for spam. Would that be possible to somehow run the akismet plugin in against all the existing posts to sort out all the spam posts? We’re talking a rather large forum here (200k+ posts).

I’ve been trying to install bbpress to my local host. I download and extract the file, and then rename it Forums. It is then in my directory for the site. When I enter the link for the local host and /Forums, I get all these deprecated errors. what I’m I doing wrong?

Please help!

Basically I tried to change the time zone and it gave me a server error; http error 500. I thought it was from something I changed so I downloaded bbpress and replaced my options-general.php with the stock file. I can no longer access general settings now and I am unsure as to why. Thanks for the help.

I have successfully moved by vbulletin site into phpbb3 and now ready to finalize the moved to bbpress. I had done a test on this process twice in the past and confirmed the steps and all that jazz but the last part is where I always get hung up.

Generally in the integration of the bbpress and wp users and logins.

Seems that may be again the issue but even prior to converting the data into bbpress.

My current site is a WPMU and has buddypress with bbpress standalone already connected. So, there is no bb_users table. When I run the convertor it of course is looking for that table and returns an error which kills the process.

knowing how sensitive this dang thing is I thought I would ask for some advice and help first prior to just trying to create tables and/or modify this convertor files. Both things I truly have little clue on how to do properly.

Some added info – I do have a users table and that is what is connected to WP and the last step in the conversation process is actually to rename the bp_user table to users if you intend to use WP for your users versus BBP. This is something I don’t want to change as it currently works just fine.

Finally, incase someone has a completely other solution here is what I got..

PHPBB3 has all my posts and users and is installed on the same domain as WPMU and BBP. It is also sharing the same database.

I have confirmed the phpbb forum works just fine with the users and my WPMU with BBP also works just fine. I would like to dump the phpbb and use bbp. I then am hoping to check into the bbp plugin.

Thank for all help and advice.
