I have a navigation button on my website linking to a bbPress forum, which works fine in IE, but won’t work in Firefox. Apparently it is a security issue.
My host Support has advised that changing the bbPress URL from https protocol to http will resolve the issue, but I’m wondering why https is the default protocol when you install bbPress?
I am aware that https ensures security for exchange of credit card info etc, but in the case of my forum, there won’t be any such security issues as far as I know. The forum is just a place for students to post research proposals and the like, and feedback to each other, and for their lecturers to do likewise.
Does anyone know, please, if there is any reason I should NOT change the forum URL from https to http?

Do you plain to write bbpress?
4 days before August 1,2008 there are 41 (59%) open tickets? What did you do last mounts?
Some days after (!!) WordPress 2.6 release _ck_ (is he developer???) wrote “Integration does not work!!!”. Do someone knows what is RC or beta version? The great sambauers wrote “Good work”. OK, man, what are YOU doing?
Oh, yes, I know – this is open source and free software. But SMF is working well.

Hello Everyone,
I changed the address (in settings) of the address to my forum and now everything is jacked up.
it should be http://www.portcityunderground.com/bbpress/
but I removed the /bbpress/ to see if I could get the header to point back to my original page instead of the forum frontpage….which didnt work.
Now I cant get to the general settings of bbpress to correct the address. Which php file in my bbpress folder on my server stores that info?..or where can I go to correct it?
Also, whats the best way to make my header go to the home page of my site, not the homepage of the forum? I searched and all I saw were the “super header” option and the added link in the forum header phot0…neither of which will work for me. I have 2 different pictures for the headers so super header is out and I phinagled with the other option and it either was hidden or didnt look right.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thanks for any help in advance!
I am not experienced with php or wordpress/bbpress.
I have my bbpress site up just fine, but its not sending out registration emails. I have checked all the easy fixes
Inbox is empty
Spam is empty
tried on gmail, netscape, and hotmail.
Waited over an hour
I believe that the issue has to do with my hosting requiring authentication for outgoing mail. I called them and they explained that they do require this.
I am wondering solutions I could pursue.
Is there a way to make BBpress authenticate?
Or
Can someone provide a guide to getting an alternative SMTP system set up.
Thank you all for your help!

I’ve set up and partly customised a bbPress forum on a subdomain that I’m using to demonstrate a uni faculty website I’m re-designing for a friend who is in charge of the faculty (in other words, I’m not a pro website designer – this is a job for a friend). The forum is linked to the website via a navigation button. When the website is finished and ready to go “live”, it will be transferred from my subdomain to the client’s server/host.
1. a) Is it possible to retain the customisations I’ve done on the bbPress forum and transfer the forum over, along with the website, to the client’s server/host, or
b) Will I need to completely reinstall bbPress to the client’s server/host and customise it again from scratch?
2. If a) above, what do I need to change in the current bbPress settings (and where!) to have it operate from the client’s server/host please?
Cheers
Ross

I was reading someones post trying to figure out how to upload an image from their computer and onto the post and of course you can only attach images that are already on the net.
Then I found this response from “chrishajer” (Moderator)…
“I don’t think the attachment plugin is designed to allow those images to be inserted into the post with the allow images plugin. It could probably be done with a 2 step process.
1. attach the image.
2. grab that URL and then insert the image.
It would be in the thread twice though, which is silly. I think it’s better to have the images stored elsewhere then have people insert them like that, nothing on your server.”
Does anyone out there know how to do the above?
If you could somehow upload the image to your server and then link to the URL all at once?
I’m desperate to find a result for this.

Because I have no idea how to deal with all this SVN stuff in Ubuntu (I’m just a “user”, not a geek), and I want to share plugin no matter what – here it is:
http://astateofmind.eu/freebies/bbflickr/
I’ve made modifications to original FlickrRSS to make it working under bbPress – you can display your photos, your set, group or community photos from Flickr on your forum now
.
You can see demo here on sidebar.

Ok I was wondering where I should upload bbpress? Right in the wordpress folder on my server? Also why can’t I click on the View your profile link? It says “User not found.” is that because it is still beta so to speak…
Thanks,
