I was wondering if anyone knows why I would be getting the following error when attempting to install the bbpress system?
ERROR: Could not establish a database connection
This is immediately after uploading all downloaded files, and when browsing to the installed directory
www.aceslegacy.com/community
Ifollowed the install directions but when I went the URL where I had uploaded there was not installer. I got a bbPress forum page with a login box in the top left and a Forums: page not found error.
What do I do now?
Hi
I am using phpBB 2 with 2300 users
I was okay for a while with that forum… I want to change and update… not sure I do like the phpBB3 tough, so I did a little search. Even tough I am using WP on my article side of site, I am not sure that bbPress is the best choice for me
What forum would be a good choice for
– 2300 user
– french or english
– send PM
– RSS
– Forums and sub-forums
– need to be able to “embed” a youtube video when members are posting
– Profiles
– Avatars and signatures
I use this to try to help me

I’m looking to pair the forums on my website with an already existing active listserv. Is there a plugin out there that allows me to send a regular summary of the discussions happening on my bbpress forum to my listserv?
Thanks!

i’m new to php… what is the use of request_uri()
I had this functionality in my phpBB installation before I switched to BBpress,. A friend of mine wrote me a piece of code which does essentially the same thing. Don’t ask me to extend it. I’m not a programmer.
What does it do:
It will automatically replace keywords and link them to a page you have specified.
Example use:
Deep linking to affiliate products or articles on your website.
How to install it:
1) Open the file “Text2Aff.php”. Specify the keywords and links.
2) Upload it the folder “text2aff” to “my-plugins” folder.
3) Log in to your admin panel and activate the plugin
Version: This is version 0.1 and has been tested with BBpress 1.02
Planned:
Would be great to have some sort of admin panel to manage the keywords and urls. Moving this into the database. You are welcome to extend it. Any comments appreciated.

I followed all the steps to integrate bbpress with wordpress, so far everything is fine, except I can be auto logged into bbpress after log in to wordpress, vise versa.
So my installation is like this:
– wp: www.example.com/blog/
– bpp: www.example.com/forum/
I saw some solved situations here but all of them install bpp in a sub directory of wp. Will that be a problem?
Thanks!
Is there a way to put let the mini-stat plugin show off in footer in stead of under it?
Hi
I am using bbpress for our non-profit. I set up two forums: one for the board and one for other stakeholders.
I’m trying to get the board to use bbpress rather than long email chains. A big stumbling block is knowing when a new topic is posted.
I implemented post_notification which works fine to send an email for replies.
Any idea how I could modify this to send a notice to a defined group of users or users with a certain role, any time a new topic is posted in a given forum?
I need to specify users / roles / forums as I suspect the stakeholders at large will be annoyed to get notification emails.
Thanks
Lori
