Hello everybody,
I tried to install bbpress on my webspace, but ran into a few problems and seem to struggle getting it running.
First of all: I’m using the alpha 1.0, because i want to integrate it into WP 2.61 installation. The directories are structured like this:
root
root/blog (my WP installation)
root/blog/bbpress (desired bbpress installation)
I have downloaded the files yesterday, have modified my bb-config.php (double checked the keys, so they match my WP-keys, even tried out with keys that contain no special characters). After uploading i went through the installation process (where i had to reenter the keys) and filled the two cookie salts, which I found in my WP-Installation.
Everything went well, up to the point, where the log is printed out, which states: “Forum cannot be created.” (Any other .log entries point out no problem)
If I now try to load the page, I get a redirecting loop (hope it’s a good translation).
I even tried to clear all database tables, and installed again, but the same problem occurs.
I hope that someone maybe has a hint, what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
Felix
any one help me ?
how to include wordpress sidebar.php file in forums
So I have a forum up and running and people can get to it through my blog. However after a many weeks I just noticed there is no way for somebody to get back to my blog from the forum. I need a simple way to add a “return to blog” type button on the top of the forum page.
Also I noticed when i go into my dashboard I can not find where my theme can be edited (ie can’t find the stylesheet) Please help!
A lot of my users’ posts are being marked as spam and being moved to the Akismet queue, when they’re obviously not – is there a way of toning down the checks that the plugin does, so it’s not so critical of valid postings?
Thanks,
is it possible to set plugins on as default in users profiles?
i have added a few plugins (favorite notify, say my name and auto add favorites) but each user needs to specifically turn them on in they’re profile, is there a way to just set them on as default?
I installed bbPress at www.site.nl/bbpress. At first, www.site.nl/bbpress/bb-admin was working, but just recently it doesn’t work anymore. I get redirected to the front office.
I think I deleted my admin account or something like that. You do I tackle this situation?
After I included into my bb-config.php
if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
my bbpress site turned into a “demo” site. It now says “Regisration disabled. This is a demo site.” (yes, with the spelling mistake) above the login.
any ideas what i can do?
many thanks!
Hello, I’m fairly new to bbpress, but I’m an avid web developer and wordpress user.
My problem:
When I go to the settings page, I cannot disable avatars.
I can uncheck it, but when I hit “update settings” I scroll down, and it’s just checked again!
Do I have a ghost? Am I doing something wrong?
I’m using:
BBPress V.0.9.0.2
Plugins:
Hidden Forums
Allow Images
BBCode Buttons
BBCode Lite
Avatar Upload (currently disabled, it won’t work because gravatars keep overwriting it or something)
I’m trying to setup bbpress as a seperate install from my wp install, but I am sharing the same database. here is the url
http://portfoliosfriend.com/jobs
if you click on any forum or post, it just goes to an error 404 page. I’m not sure what happened in the DB that caused this, or if I need to set something else up. any help would be great! thanks.
When my forum is viewed in Firefox, the long email addresses of users who post are encroaching on their post content. Not a big issue, but a bit untidy and annoying. See: http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8
(user name: tester / password: testing123)
Which CSS in which file would I modify to make the page width of the forum a bit wider and increase the distance between poster email details and their adjacent post content, please?
