WPMU integration locked me out of BBPress

Published on February 10th, 2009 by 12thharmonic

First what I’m using

WPMU 2.7

BBPress 1.0alpha6

BuddyPress 1.02Beta

I watched the screencast, read multiple threads. I am working with a BBPress install that is well established.

WPMU http://headonradionetwork.com

BBPress http://headonradionetwork.com/forum

Once I completed the WordPress end of things, I was logged out of BBPress. I cannot log into BBPress with WP details or BBPress details. I can log into wordpress fine. Any login I try on BBPress tells me the username does not exist.

Any ideas? What other info would be useful?

Cheers Dears!

Improving User Experience when their post is marked as spam

Published on February 9th, 2009 by

Akismet seems extremely sensitive to boards posts with links in them, so many valid board comments get moderated into the spam queue on a regular basis. That’s fine – but what’s troubling is that the moderated users often post and repost their comment over and over, flooding my spam queue! They have no idea they’ve been moderated, because (as I understand it)… bbPress doesn’t give any message to the user when their post has been marked as spam/moderated.

This reposting by users makes it a lot more work to clear the spam queue. I have to unspam one of them, and then delete all the others. Is it possible to somehow improve the user experience when a post has been marked as spam, so that a user knows they’ve been moderated and that an admin will review their comment soon? That will at least get rid of most of the re-posts, which would be a godsend…

Where can I download older alpha versions (in particular Alpha 5)

Published on February 9th, 2009 by yokima

I would like to download Alpha 5 instead of 6, since various cK plugins seem to work on the older version. Where can I download it? “Latest alpha” currently downloads Alpha 6.

Can’t Edit the Keymaster’s profile?

Published on February 9th, 2009 by

I am the keymaster for my bbpress forum, and I want to change my email address, but it won’t let me.

When I am logged in as the keymaster, in the front end, when I go to “View your profile!”, the edit link is “http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile//edit” and if you click on that you get the error “User not found.”

Also, if I go to the admin area and click on Users, and then click Edit for the keymaster there, it also says User not found. (And the link there is http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile//edit too)

For a normal user test account I made, the link is “http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile/test/edit” and when you click it it lets you edit the profile.

Even if I type in the URL manually, filling in the keymaster’s username instead of test, it still says user not found.

Is this normal?

Having trouble editing a theme

Published on February 7th, 2009 by

I’m trying to convert the theme “bbpress-forum” to look like my wordpress theme here: http://blueleafcanada.ca/

I’m having problems getting it to look right. You can see it here: http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/

It looks slightly different in FF than in IE. For FF, it has this strange problem where the top left logo is being “crushed down” a couple pixels. Also the 3 menu buttons are being crushed down too. I understand HTML and even have a pretty good understanding of CSS and the box model, but I have no idea what’s causing these problems and I can’t figure out how to fix them.

Also, the thin side bars have a gap in them under the header, which I’d like them not to have, and I just cannot figure out how to fix it.

If anyone has any ideas or expertise on this, I’m all ears.

Why do multiple topics with the same slug appear here?

Published on February 7th, 2009 by chrishajer

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-thumbnails-on-bbpress-integration

That appeared 5 times in the latest discussions. Each topic has the same slug. I deleted one of them, and was going to do the others which were duplicates, but now I get a 404 error for each one.

This has happened a couple times in the past. Normally I think Sam just comes by and fixes it. But why is it happening?

install for beginner

Published on February 7th, 2009 by level200

Hi Guys

I have installed wordpress 2.7 and now bbpress 0.9.0.4, I would like to intergrate bbpress with wordpress.

Now I have tried putting in the database info used by wordpress but bbpress tell me that it had a problem connecting to the database.

Do I have to create a different database for bbpress?

RapidWeaver – WordPress – BBPress Integration

Published on February 7th, 2009 by Zanti

Background:

First Post here. Looking for much needed help and assistance.

Latest version of RapidWeaver and WP2.7x, haven’t downloaded BBP yet. Experience, beginner.

WP sits in my blog domain, nothing has been done to it at all since downloading.

Working on 4 sites, we’ll call them sites A, B, C and D. Have not uploaded any of the sites to my server yet so none are live. Sites B and C have the same RW theme. Site A is 80% complete with a RW theme, B and C are only 5% done, but could be finished this weekend. Site D holds the WP blog with no RW theme, just the base WP theme at this time.

What I want to accomplish:

Central Blog and Forum that sites A, B and C are all linked to.

What I think I would like:

Forum based in site B, with the RW theme, Blog based in site D (only because site D, has the domain name of my blog)(it would be great if I could have the same theme for the Blog and Forum). Integration of the Forum and Blog. All sites linked to the Forum and Blog.

Questions:

How to best accomplish this. Should Blog and Forum reside on same Site (like site D)., and A, B and C link to it via an offsite page? Or is there a better way to do this. Where should I download BBPress to, site A, B, C or D?

I’m very open to any thoughts and ideas. I’m kind of at a standstill right now, as I want to make sure I start off doing the right things and having WP and BBP loaded to the right places. And I’m anxious to get started.

I hope I have explained this in a clear way and it’s not to confusing. I would like to download BBP and get started on this project this weekend. If we forget about the RapidWeaver part of this. The real question would be, if I want 3 sites to be able to access and be linked to both bbPress and WP, what is the best way to do this.

I’m also a little confused about integration with WP 2.7x and bbPress. Is there some problems with doing this at this time. I’m really closed to having my sites up and running, but I’m at a standstill right now. I just want to make sure I do things the right way, the first time.

Please offer any advice you think might be helpful. If I need to explain this better, let me know. I’m really hyped on using bbPress, and WP, just want all three sites to be able to function with them equally. If nothing else, can anyone offer, what I need to do next.

Thank you all for your time and assistance on something that is very important to me.
