Thanks, I'll look into that :)

What I did on http://www.swnk.org is use a plugin called Redirection to simply re-direct the WordPress profile to the buddyPress. I'm pretty sure you can do the same for bbPress -> WordPress. That works.

Sorry to "bump" this, but I was really hopeful that someone would be able to help :(

Could you be a little bit more specific other than "doesn't look good"?

GHC_33 on "Profile Page breaks w/ WooThemes Canvas Theme"

GHC_33 — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 05:46:38 +0000

I almost have this forum completed, but the profile page just doesnt look good using WooThemes Canvas - Theme.

Also the css for the original post is different than the reply posts. Its adding buttons to links, quotes, and the avatar.

Any idea of how to solve this? Ive searched and searched all night, but I cant find a solution.

Here is my test site.

I'm working on a website that has the eShop and bbPress plugins installed. The eShop plugin alters the WordPress profile to include fields for the user's address while this doesn't happen with the bbPress profile. Is it possible to either:

1. Force bbPress to use the WordPress profile which has these fields, or

2. Code it so that the bbPress profile grabs these fields from the WordPress profile

I know a little php but both of these options are beyond my skills so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.

The links I posted above are WordPress.org not bbPress.org.

All bbPress 2.x plugins are stored on the WordPress.org repository and are tagged 'bbpress'.

bbPress.org contains only pre-2.x plugins and will eventually be achieved completely. Do not use it.

Thanks Jaredatch -- that helped a little, but there are still a lot of CK's old plugins showing up, eg.:
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-signatures/page/3/

Which are definitely *NOT* compatible with the current version of bbPress, but they have high ratings because they *used to* be compatible.

Can something be done about this? Ratings appear to be disabled.

I'm also discovering that bbPress + buddyPress makes the available plugins list even smaller :/

jaredatch on "bbPress 2.0 - Updates"

jaredatch — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 03:53:46 +0000

The best way to find bbPress 2.x plugins is by

searching on WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress

or filtering by the bbPress tag
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

The vast majority of stuff on WordPress.org is for 2.x (since previous plugins here on bbpress.org) so you should be able to hopefully find something.

armahillo — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 03:44:14 +0000

Is there a reliable place to download plugins for the current version of bbPress (2.x)?

I have looked in the standard WP repo for plugins and most of the plugins I have found are no longer supported, were not updated for v2.x, or are just defunct period and not even downloading.

This makes the process of finding plugins very frustrating.

Originally, my team was planning on using bbPress2 for our site, and I really like a lot of the features it offers so far, but the fact that the plugins do not seem to be road-ready may well turn out to be a dealbreaker. :/

So before I give up completely, are there canonical plugin repos anywhere other than wordpress.org?

Thanks

@JJJ
I read in this thread that you mentioned it was possible to give users the ability to add iframes to a post if you have the correct 'simple' WP plugin.
I am trying to allow people to add their iframes from soundcloud.com into a post so I need to give them that ability.
Can you tell me what plugin will allow this to happen?
Thank!

Will need way more specific information to be of any help. Links to sites, versions of WordPress/bbPress, etc...

zachshallbetter on "Does bbpress have user profiles?"

I'm having this same problem. Admin is able to see their user information but all other accounts are directed to a blank page.

justinrm on "Profile blank: username, nothing else"

justinrm — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 23:50:55 +0000

I'm using v2.x

Like the heading says, if I follow links from usernames I land on a blank profile page. The user name's there (heading), but there's no content.

Can someone point me in the direction of a solution, please?

neontrauma on "display usernames without a link"

neontrauma — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:46:37 +0000

Hi,

I'm running a bbPress 2 within BuddyPress, so bbp_reply_author_link(); links to the BuddyPress profile - domain.com/members/username. I'd like to change that link so that the username links to the WordPress author page (domain.com/author/userame). Changing the user slug in the bbPress settings to "author" didn't help. :/

So - how is it possible to change that link or alternatively to display the username only, without any link?

Thanks,
neontrauma

I gave up on BBPress, and just used PhpBB instead. It does everything I needed and was easy to setup. Also, BBPress has pretty poor support, and I've run into a ton of issues and customization difficulties with it.

iftomkins on "Customized registration form - hide fields"

iftomkins — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 01:14:07 +0000

Ok! I found a solution that works for me. It's using the bbPviews plugin, in tandem with the GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies Plugin I bought, which creates the bbPress custom fields. Here's a tutorial I made on on my website: How to filter topics by bbpress custom topic fields.

@travishill:
You're welcome :)
Thanx for this awesome idea and making it a plugin! I will use it soon on an own project!

thanks daveshine and travishill, i'll give travishill's suggested plugin a try.

@daveshine - THANKS!!! I was just coming by to suggest to @selise to use the Disable bbPress Profile Override plugin (shameless self promotion) that I wrote.

It's a temporary solution, but fits the bill.

daveshine (David Decker) on "user profiles in bbpress & buddypress"

daveshine (David Decker) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:48:45 +0000

You can use a new plugin for that to re-store the behavior with different user profile pages for BuddyPress and bbPress:

Hope this works for you, Dave :)

andre, thanks for your reply. i didn't realize that bbpress and buddypress still had a ways to go wrt to integration.

... based on your info, i took a look at trac tickets and dev notes and will post the links here in case anyone else has the same (or similar) question:

http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/5th-october-dev-chat-notes/
http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3177
http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org/ticket/3598

looks like jjj is on it and if we're lucky there may be something in bp 1.6 and/or bbp 2.1. fingers crossed!
