I have <?php login_form(); ?>
When at the home page of BBpress when I click logout it doesn’t log out. Actually it does but it shows like I’m still logged in. When I click on a different forum it shows that I’m logged out. When I click to the home page of the forum it shows that I’m logged in.
Thanks.
kiaspeed2.com/forum/ is the site
A “granular” forum moderation could be achieved if the person starting a thread would be considered a “chair(wo)man” and have the right to “hide” subsequent posts from other users on that specific thread. If the “initial poster”/”thread creator”/”chair(wo)man” feels the discussion is going to much off topic or getting to heated he/she would be able to hide the posts in question by marking them either “Irrelevant” or “Flame bait”.
Forum site holder would look after the forum overall (closing troll threads and block troll users), while the “chair(wo)men” themselves would micromanage and look after their respective threads (or “meetings”).
Forum site holder would still be the overall authority in forum disputes, but in threads they will just be “attendees” or “participants” like others.
As an example, If my post would be barred from one “meeting” of another user because we disagree with the direction or scope of the discussion, then I could “fork” that meeting by starting my own meeting where I then would become the chairman rather than a participant.
It would be up to all the other forum users whose meeting they wish to attend to and participate in and by that what discussion they wish to keep alive.
The idea is to delegate responsibility and increase positive self moderation by the users themselves.
I think it would limit cross-postings and a threads from being hijacked by other users and by that increase the content value considerably.
If a “chair(vo)man” also would be able to close their own threads, then any support questions once the thread-creator is satisfied with the answers given could be “closed” and by that avoid further irrelevant cross-posting.
I’ve been playing with bbPress for a few days and noticed that when I started posting the time was set all wrong and the posts I imported were dated wrong (only ones from that day).
Since I’m in South Australia (+9.5 GMT) I had set the gmt_offset option in the admin interface to 9.5 to accomodate my differences but it wouldn’t set the post date/time to my timezone when posting.
The only way around it was to modify the bb_current_time function and change this line:
$d = gmdate(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’);
to this:
$d = gmdate(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, time() + 3600*(bb_get_option(‘gmt_offset’)+date(“I”)));
So that it actually uses the GMT offset.
Of course, doing this only means that current posts are displayed at the right time but previous ones are wrong because they’re all set to the current time when posted and the system then adds 9.5hrs onto them when being read.
I’m assuming either I’ve missed something in the config or the time option just isn’t using the gmt_offset value from the db for anything.
Can someone confirm or refute this please? I’d like to be able to change it back and do it the proper way if possible.
I would like to put some plugins from bbpress into the WP widget.
For example: The Simple Online By Thomas Klaiber would be great on a widget.
If I put the code on WP widget it errors when on WP but comes up when on BB.
I guess I just need an if-then statement? but I don’t know how to write it.
I often see stars next to some people’s names in this forum.
Is this based on number of posts? Or some other factor?
_ck_, for example, has one star… and 4 blank ones.
He is an active an member of the forum. I bring this up because it looks like he’s being rated 1/5 stars (that is, badly)… which I don’t think is the intended effect of the stars.
Just my 2 cents.
I’ve made a plugin that lets you set your own default gravatar.
You can also choose to use Identicons, Wavatar or monsterID as the default gravatar.
You set the size and the rating you want.
This plugin overrides the built in Gravatar function, but you still have to choose to show the avatars in the standard options page, but all other gravatar options from that page is ignored.
I’ve tested it on bbPress 0.9.0.2 and 1.0-dev (from trunk), but it should work on all 0.9.x versions.
You can download the plugin from here.
I’ve also submitted it to the plugins list here on bbpress.org, and will (hopefully) show up there to

After experiencing the initial problem of a signup confirmation mail not going out, and going through the various posts on that topic, I finally found a fix without having to use a plugin or use pear functions.
In the file /bb-includes/pluggable.php add the following lines at the top:
ini_set("SMTP","mail.YourDomain.com"); //IP or server name for smtp server
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'ValidEmailAccount@YourDomain.com');
This worked in my case. I hope this solves other people’s problems too.
!!There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.
hi i’m new to this.. i wanted to install bbpress but after providing the database name and user i get this error.. (on top)
I have successfully integrated TinyMCE to my editor in bbpress, which I found that is so easy.
However, when doing the submit, TinyMCE submits the HTML code on behind to bbpress. I found that each line TinyMCE created a <p>…</p> tags, but bbpress is not allowing this. Finally, <p></p> comes to the screen when viewing the post.
Is there any workaround for this?
I updated my web site today to bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.5.1. Cookie integration settings got out of whack and I put them back, but now the two are in conflict.
I’ve verified (by clearing cookies and watching as new cookies are registered) that both bbPress and WordPress are using the same cookie for login info — same name, path, etc.
However, when logging into WordPress I am logged out of bbPress, and when logging into bbPress I am logged out of WordPress. So they appear to be using the same cookie and overwriting it as I login to each section.
Note that the SECRET_KEY and BB_SECRET_KEY definitions in each respective config files are identical.
The cookie seems to be broken up into three parts: user name, a shortish numerical code (in decimal), and a long hexadecimal code. The name and shortish numerical code are identical between bbPress and WordPress but the long hex code changes every time. Does this help provide a clue?
