bbPress 2.0 - FAQ

    • Posted 2 months ago #

    My website is based on static files located at the root level and later I have added WordPress blog set up in subfolder with permalink at /blog. After installing bbPress plugin, I’m not able to separate blog and forum in permalinks. I don’t know how to setup bbPress to have forum at /forum, instead of /blog/forum, which is the default setting and looks strange.

    Do you know how to setup bbPress plugin correctly to solve this issue?

    Thanks in advance!

    @monoman - If WordPress is installed in a physical folder named 'blog' you won't be able to easily put bbPress in any other folder. There are advanced ways of making this work, but you'd want to hire a pro to make it go (or do some digging into moving your WP install and/or sharing user tables between installs.)

    @johnjamesjacoby
    Thanks for info!
    Actually as WordPress allows it, I installed files in physical folder domain.com/wp, while users access the blog via domain.com/blog.
    In such setup, is it possible to separate the forum from blog and access it via domain.com/forum?

    Hi, I have the same problem. I installed physically the WP files in /wp subfolder and blog is accessible virtually in /blog subfolder. Is it possible to similarly access forum in virtual /forum subfolder instead of /blog/forum?

    Basic question: Now that everything is installed and I've created my first forum (Welcome), where is my forum site? I'd like to point to it in my blog menu. Thanks

    Is there any news regarding the method of installing and/or setting up the bbPress plugin to access the blog and forum separately via virtual /blog and /forum subfolders, having physically installed WordPress files in domain.com/wp subfolder?

    I have WordPress installed on my server in a directory "wordpress." My users can access this installation by going to http://website.com/blog

    I would like to have the same effect happen for the bb-press plugin when someone accesses http://website.com/forums

    How can I set this up?

    @acoburn4 - Sadly you won't be able to. Because all of WordPress is being rewritten to /blog, it would take some server level rewriting to make your forums work below it. Even then, I am not sure it would really work. You'll want to make your entire site run at website.com, create two pages: /blog and /forums, then setup each the way you want them to be.

    ...why the heck is it so hard to unsubscribe to e-mail notifications of replies to topics? I had to make this post just so that my unchecking of "Notify me of follow-up posts via email" will register. It won't register unless you hit the "Send Reply" button... What the heck.

    @MTPower - Age old WordPress and bbPress UX issue. Could use some ajax to make it easier. bbPress 2.0 solves this, and when we update bbpress.org it will no longer be an issue. (You could have also used the link in the upper left, but it's easily missed.)

    Hello!

    I want to contribute ukrainian translation. But I don't see ukrainian language at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin, and there is no possibility to add it.

    How to add Ukrainian to the list of translations?
