I’m working at a wordpress project that is structured as follows in a multisite configuration:

1) main site, single language, heavily customized with post types, loads of content, no forum, one webshop
2) secondary site, simpler setup, relatively little content, no forum, no webshop, multilanguage (WPML)
3) third site hosting a forum only and no other content; forum interface will be multilanguage (like site #2)
4) fourth site, reserved to admins only, single language, possibly a forum, to manage content and carry on project management tasks and discussions, etc.

- all sites would be in the same domain (ie http://www.domain.com/ = 1, http://www.domain.com/2, http://www.domain.com/3 etc)

- sites #1, #2, #3 would be seamlessly integrated in the frontend. However content displayed changes, since #1 has very different contents meant for users in the main language, while #3 is just a forum. Site #2 is intended to provide information and basic contents to international users, while the forum would provide a common space for discussion, being the interface translated.

I want a multisite setup so users can keep their logins, cookies, across the sites, yet at the same time make some order to admin the different areas.

Now… it is clear to me that WPML I can take care of the translation part. However, what I’m really clueless about is how to seamlessly integrate the forum part. Since mine is a community-type website, I want to have community features… Buddypress seems to offer a more complete solution for this than bare bbpress. I don’t want users to create their blogs or groups. But it would be nice to have better profile pages, private messaging, set their own display pic, and so on. Features that bbpress lacks or are not natively integrated (I come from a bbpress 1.0 experience and while I love it for the theming possibilities, plugin wise was badly supported).

So what I would really like to know… Does it make sense to run BuddyPress on site #3, activate only modules for member profiles, forums and activity streams?

Will the activity streams report activity of these users on sites #1 and #2? (would that include creation of new articles, posts and content by admins and authors? or just comments?)

Will the users be able to login from site #1 or #2 or #3 and kept logged in without any weirdness happening when navigating through the sites and performing actions?

Can authors from #1 and #2 link their profiles to profiles found in #3 Buddypress rather than using author.php? Same for registered users that post a comment on #1 or #2, can they have a link directing to their Buddypress member profile page/activity stream?

Being site #1 only in one language for both content and interface, what if user jumps from #2 or #3 to #1 and then back to #2 or #3, would his languages preference being persistent?

Thank you!

1) be hidden from nonlogged in members;
2) require members to be able to login and check the 1 forum that I assign to them for updates, WITHOUT having access to someone elses forum.

Is this at all possible through an existing plugin or through some code modification?

I am using wp-members for registration/login stuff. That plugin does have the ability to lock access to pages and posts, but currently, I don't use those features.

I am also using latest BBpress and WordPress software.

Thank you.

It took me a lot of trial and error, deactivating and activating of plugins to figure out what the problem was with my bbpress.

I don't know what, why or how, but there is some problem between bbPress and Greg's High Performance SEO. If Greg's is installed, bbPress does not work - your forum root will seem ok enough...but if you click on any forum, the forum's topic listing page will not list any topics, and the topic page will not show the discussion or any response options.

This is sad because I have come to like Greg's High Performance SEO...but because I have decided, for many reasons, to move from phpbb to bbPress, I hope a fix is found soon.

All forums and topics are public and open.

What could be blocking this?

go to settings -> permalinks -> choose 'Post name under' common settings and save. hope it works.

btw, what theme are you using for your website?

I'm interested in seeing what changes you made​​.

Not exactly the model of Invision or other powerful forums, but their forum was better organized with subcategories.

But still, I keep my critical: bbPress need to improve the hierarchy of sub-subforums to become a powerful forum and allow the creation of many subforums and well organized.

Even the simple press allows this organization/separation of blocks with subforums:

Thanks!

Keep playing around with the roles in Members... I eventually got it to work after selecting enough privileges for the user role.

Installed it, but still doesn't work for me. As admin I have created Topics in the forum and as a Forum Participant I get "Oh bother! No topics were found here!" and do not see any topics.

It worked fine, created categories, forums and threads etc... and it functioned just fine. And then now, without making any changes, it randomly 404's and doesnt exist on my site anymore, even though it is there in the WP back end. It simply cant find it.

Even when I click on each individual forum/section in the back end, and click the "VIEW" button to visit that forum, it takes me to the link but its a 404 page and cant find it.

How is it all still there in the back end? But no where to be found, and so randomly? It literally worked great, then woke up the next day and I have problems.

Any help?

Cheers,

Will

What I'm aiming for is just something like this...

http://purerover.com/forum

Maintaining my main menu and logo at the top, while having full width organized forums/subforums below.

Is there a way to do this with bbPress or phpBB3?

Any help with this is super duper appreciated! :)

Thanks,

So today I got to the point with the website where I wanted to add some decent forums to it. I got bbPress, but my theme doesnt support it out of the box. Needless to say, I've run into a few snags so far.

This is what I'm trying to get to with the forums:

- Full width individual forum categories would be great... Example: After you login from the sidebar on the main forum page, and click "Aquaria Forums", it becomes a full width forum and nixes the sidebar.

- Basically, I just want the forums to look a bit more... legit. The way they look now is very bland and white with no real organization or structure. I am so new to bbPress that I have no idea where to begin.

- Is there a way to just embed a forum into a page? That way, I could just create a page for each forum category, such as "Aquaria Forums", and then set it to full-width.

Here is where I'm at so far: http://www.critterhub.com/forums-2/

Any help in getting these forums looking good is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Corey

I am using bbPress as a stand alone forum on WordPress with Suffusion theme.

I have Categories and Forums.

I do not like the look on the home page of the Forum List under the Category.

All the Forums titles run together onto one continuous line like this:

Category A
-Forum 1, Forum 2, Forum 3, Forum
4, Forum 5, Forum 6

How can I have the Forums under a category listed down the page like this?

Category A
-Forum 1
-Forum 2
-Forum 3
-Forum 4
-Forum 5
-Forum 6

Is there a pluggin to fix this?

Thanks.

Which is why I wanted a way to do this without altering member roles. Because I have a fair quantity of members with a unique role already (I heavily use User Role Editor).

Like I said... I have two users who have a custom role already: StoreItems. So they can edit items in the store from a different plugin. Their bbpress membership is normal. One of these users will eventually have VIP and the other will have Special.

In order to do as you instructed, I will have to make some convoluted things happen.

Let say you will have membership system as follows: (no need to be moderator or administrator here and no forum private setting needed here)

Public Forums Area
-> Guest Member (public)
-> Participant Member (default member)
-> No custom setting but make sure each forums is not hidden or private.
-> Make sure this Participant Member role able to
-> publish_replies
-> publish_topics
-> edit_topics
-> edit_replies
-> assign_topic_tags
-> read

Special Forums Area
-> Participant Member can read here
-> Special Member, you need to upgrade from Participant member
-> No custom setting but make sure each forums is not hidden or private.
-> Make sure this Special Member role able to
-> publish_replies
-> publish_topics
-> edit_topics
-> edit_replies
-> assign_topic_tags
-> read

Restricted Forums Area
-> VIP Member
-> Custom setting, make sure each forums hidden.
-> Make sure this Special Member role able to
-> publish_replies
-> publish_topics
-> edit_topics
-> edit_replies
-> assign_topic_tags
-> read
-> read_hidden_forums

And the most important to make sure you edit all forums and topics based on above setting, just edit it and you have Members plugin setting.

Try activate members plugins and tick 'Enable the role manager' and 'Enable the content permissions feature' and when you edit a forum or topic a Members setting appears. Use it to restrict roles.
