In reply to: Child CSS
Workaround fix:
My theme’s bbPress custom styles were in
bbpress/css/bbpress.css, I have copied the CSS contents into the mainstyle.cssand it is ok now.In reply to: Child CSSChild CSS has disappeared for me as well. WP and bbPress auto-updated last night.
This is one basic feature that I wish was included as standard.
Only way currently is to use a plugin, there are three but none look like they’re actively being updated.

Not tested any yet, will be doing so soon. Zaerl is the most recent so that’s the one I’ll try first.
If anyone could feedback any experiences with using these on bbPress beta2 that would be great.

In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – UpdatesIf you’re unable to set your memory limit or timeout on your server, an alternative is to set up Apache locally on your machine (using tools like XAMPP it is easy) where you can set the limits and do any heavy import processing, before uploading the database.
In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – Updates@Tokyorock – check your server logs for the PHP error. It is likely there is one but it isn’t being shown publically.
In reply to: Building plugins for the bbPress 2 WP pluginThanks guys, I’ll start my adventure and have a look at the code.

For WP comments it makes sense, but doesn’t a bbPress form just needs a textbox and a tag input box?
In reply to: Forum ModerationWhat can be done to prevent this? It’s not a good advertisement for bbPress. One of the main problems with all the other forum software is their inability to tackle spam. WIth Akismet we should have a significant advantage.
I don’t know a lot about Akismet, but in this case I feel it should overlook the fact people are registered. A lot of this is blatant spam that I’d be surprised to see get past Akismet protection on blog comments. It’s like it’s giving registered people a free pass to post whatever they like – why should it let someone post 10 topics in a row? You can guarantee this is not legitimate posting behaviour.

In reply to: Need advice on bbPress (vs SMF, or phpBB)If you use WordPress, then bbPress is going to be a really good long-term option as it will soon mean the best integration with your website.
My main experience is with both phpBB and SMF and they feel like archaic pieces of software that are a pain to integrate and design for. Both also have big spam problems unless you customise the registration form. I think bbPress is protected by Akismet which is a different league to what the others have.
Another option similar to bbPress is Vanilla http://vanillaforums.org
My current preference is bbPress, but only if you don’t need to install too many plugins as it increases the chance of things going wrong when updating.

In reply to: Successfully Convert SMF 1.1.11 to bbPress 1.0.2@Josh – Thanks for posting this. Massively useful, I was unaware of a the conversion script.
@Sincever – I think the script will convert the SMF/phpBB users to bbPress users. You could then move all the tables into a single database, but that in itself wouldn’t change which table bbPress uses for users. This answers your question, but if you’re referring more to WordPress users vs bbPress users and reconciling that, I can’t comment as I’ve not tried the integration before.
