bbPress.org

i’ve read through the forums to no avail. here’s the scenario…i have wordpress installed and hosted. right now the database is set up as http://mydomain.com/wordpress. i created a new directory called “forums” and installed bbpress in that folder. then i go to http://mydomain.com/wordpress/forums/bbpress (which is crazy) to proceed with the install. i enter the dabase name, database user name and password which i’m taking directly from the wp-config file and i get “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.” I’m assuming either the directory set up is wrong or i’m entering the wrong database info. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I install bbpress Version 1.0.1 that comes with Akismet. I saw most people got Akismet working automatically, but for me it’s never working and I would appreciate if someone can tell where to look such as a log or some clue why it’s not working. I test it with akismet-test-123 and viagra-test-123, but still I can post the topics. Please someone kindly give me a hint where to start.

Thanks,

Please tell me why my forum looks like this?

I have searched hard but it’s hard to describe what is happening? Maybe it’s just my end…but I see no formatting at all, no colors or anything.

Thanks so much in advance!

Can I integrate my bbress database into my WordPress database after they were separate (but sharing the same WordPress usernames)?

Can I just copy the bb_ tables into my WordPress database and them tell bbpress to look at my WordPress database?

Thanks so much!

How can I prevent the topic not to shoot to the top whenever new replies are submitted?

To integrate BBPress with WordPress cookies, I need a secret key.

I have four keys in my wp-config file, and none of them are called “Secret Key”. So where do I get this?

I need help FAST, so please!

This is the request I receive most often on my forum, the ability to reply to a specific post on a thread.

Say that a user comes into a thread and finds about 40 responses on a thread, but wishes to respond to a comment somewhere in the middle. Yes, they could quote. But is there any way to add a Reply button to keep discussions connected? We do have this option on WordPress.

Thanks

i’m having a problem with unescaped characters showing up in my forum entries – for instance, if there’s an apostrophe in an entry, it gets displayed as ' when people read the forum. if you later edit that entry, the next display is \' and so forth. it seems as if the engine isn’t un-escaping the characters.

i’m using bbPress 1.0.1 and wordPress 2.8.1 at http://trashfilmorgy.com/

I recently upgraded my site http://trashfilmorgy.com/ to a WP/BB integration, and I wrap bbPress in the WP theme, arras, which creates a fairly seamless integration between the two. Check it out!
