You´re right, that´s pretty deep in the core. Though from a SEO perspective it´s also a nightmare to start a project with URLs you have to rewrite later ;) - Let me know if I can contribute in this special case, the project itsels made huge steps forward - thanks for your work.

The BuddyPress permalink structure is hardcoded to look for specific criteria in specific positions. It doesn't really scale well, and we're going to change it in future versions to use proper rewrite rules, but until then it would be a huge nightmare to change; even then, your changes would end up broken when we make improvements to the API.

The rewrite rules themselves get created in register_post_type() in /wp-includes/post.php. Lots of complex logic in there, and I doubt there are many better examples on how to write your own rewrite rules completely from scratch than inside that function.

I´m running a wordpress/buddypess/bbpress combination and I also need to change the permalink structure, in a bit different way then eleram - I´m looking for a more logic structure in all forums: example.com/forum/name-of-forum/name-of-post/

-> replace slug "forum" by name of forum
-> replace "topic" by name of topic

I can customize the code, but I´m not sure where to look on.

@John: "WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress's content types" -> where do I have to look for (bbpress´ custom post types) to adjust the permalink logic?

Of course I will share my customization as soon a sfinished.

Thanks!

Just finding that 2.x needs more plugins!

Setup is rather easy, and you can actually use both bbPress sitewide as well as the original BuddyPress Group Forums. Follow these important step however:

1) Install Group Forums as usual, from BuddyPress. Instead of using the original slug of "Forums", please instead create a new page called "Group Forums" (or anything other than "Forums"), and select that as the active page to host Group Forums;

2) Go to your Pages area in WP and DELETE any "Forums" page. Be SURE to also delete it permanently from the TRASH because otherwise the slug is still being reserved and can't be used by sitewide forums;

3) If you have not done so yet, go into BuddyPress tab and the Forums sub menu, and click on the option to install bbPress Sitewide Forums;

4) Go into your Appearance / Menus menu and manually create new menu item that has "/forums" as the url and whatever name you prefer (such as "Forums"). Save this menu item and add it to your primary or other menus.

5) Go into Settings/Permalinks and hit "Save" to be sure you have updated your permalink structure.

When you reload your page you will find that you now have bbPress AND BuddyPress Group Forums. Voila!

My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I'm looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. going on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I'm new to this - and not an experienced coder - so I apologise if what I write doesn't make much sense.

I've just taken over running our internal forum in my job and it's a bit of a mess. We're running bbPress 1.0.2 and we don't really have much set up. For example, only admins can create new threads.

Anyhow, I'm trying to install a plugin to enable me to create user groups and levels of permission. Here's the plugin link - http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

I can download the plugin but can't find anywhere to install it. Can anyone help please? I'd be very grateful!

Thanks, and a happy new year to you all,

I am using the Kakumei theme.

Is there a plugin for this?

Thank you!

Is this plugin available as a standalone and where can I download it?

I appreciate your help!

Other items badly needed: SEO for keywords, description.

WordPress has a great plugin called, "All in One SEO PACK" -- something like that but for bbpress.

Anyone???

My biggest challenge right now to using bbpress is difficulty finding quality plugins.

Please help!

Thank you!!!

I think I am having trouble because I originally installed bbPress separately, then added the plugin when it became available. I'm not sure what to do.. it is all a big mess :(

Best to watch this video to see how to get bbPress working on a new website.

Can you install Facebook connect to a bbpress forum that is embedded within a wordpress site?

I have downloaded the following plugin - http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/

However when I uploaded it to the plugins directory within my wordpress site, it does not appear in the plugins admin menu. I cannot locate the bbpress plugins area within my WordPress site either?

Any help is much appreciated.

for your second question, have you try using bbpress shortcodes?

for bbpress login you can just put a widget in your sidebar, it's on your wordpress admin bar ;)

exactly same for last replies, last forum, ...

bbpress 2.0 isn't the same thing that bbpress 1.0

bbPress 2.0 doesnt require integration, it is a plugin to wordpress.

good luck
