bbPress.org

I’m confused about what I should enter in the following boxes;

1) WordPress address

2) Blog address

3) Cookie secret key

I’m guessing the blog address is my website URL?………

But what about the other two?

Any help greatly appreciated!

“bbPress includes built-in support for Gravatars, you can enable this feature here.”

…so I have, but I don’t have the Gravatars plugin. Do I need it with 0.9 to make this work, or is support supposed to be native?

Logging in to WP 2.5 logs me out of bbPress 0.9.0.1, and vice-versa.

…where xxxx is a not my username… just using that for security.

I’m sure this ISNT the proper solution, heh, but since it worked I thought I’d point it out.

After Step 1 failed many times, I set out to debug it. My travel took me here:

bb-includes/db-mysql.php

$this->$dbhname = @mysql_connect( $server->host, $server->user, $server->pass, true );

if (!$this->$dbhname)

return false;

That was failing and returning false everytime. I couldn’t figure it out. I printed out the hose and user and password, and it looked good. I could connect just fine from a shell prompt.

After confirming that it actually WAS connecting, and that it was simply the lack of $this->$dbhname that was causing the failure, I just commented out the return false; and VOILA! It worked! Installation finished and I can post messages, etc, etc, everything seems fine.

Soooo… What’s up with that?! hehe. $dbhname was == ‘dbh_local’.

Not sure what other details I can provide. Just thought I’d share the rather strange experience and oddness that I’d have to hack the db_connect code to get the install to complete… Weird!!

Is bbPress 0.9 user integration compatible with WP-mu 1.3?

Crud, that’s the error I’m getting having followed the upgrade instructions carefully and renamed my config file appropriately.

Anyone else seeing this? It won’t let me proceed with the install…

After updating to 0.9, I am unable to delete forums. When I go through the process, it takes me to a blank page:

/bb-admin/bb-forum.php

but the forum is still there.

To be considered a major player in the forum world, it is necessary to have at least some option for attaching files to posts.

Personally, I was actually shocked to learn that this was not a feature until I installed it to test it out.

bbpress is listed up there with the most popular free forum software: phpbb, yaf, smf, vanilla. But it is the ONLY one which LACKS the ability to attach a file.

I hope that this issue is addressed before the 1.0 release, I think it should be the FIRST priority for a new feature.

IF YOU AGREE – Please respond to this post to let the developers know that this is a feature you are looking for in a forum and whether you think it should be intrinsic (like almost every other forum) and not a plug-in.

i was having severe problems with the upgrading to 0.9 so i did a fresh new 0.9 bbPress install, by cleaning the database (renamed all bb tables) etc.

everything seems to be working and even my force login plugin is working.

Question: How to do I get the old data back? Should I simply again rename old tables to the correct ones (after dropping current 0.9 bbpress tables) ?

any help on this will be highly appreciated.

the force login plugin does not seem to be working. has anyone found a solution to this?
