They can mark the thread as a favorite and have the system notify them of new posts with this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/
In your profile, there is also an RSS feed for a member’s favorites. But email is easier for non-techies.

ASCII 39 is an apostrophe though. Maybe on line 1706 there is an apostrophe rather than a single quote?
In reply to: bbPress 1.0 alpha looks interestingHere’s the unofficial speculation:

In reply to: Rewrite url ProblemThe syntax of that file is OK (I tried it on my forum), so if it is giving you a 500 error, your host does not allow the directives you’re trying to use in .htaccess. Check with your host to see if .htaccess is allowed and what directives are allowed in it.
If the 500 error was with
Options +MultiViewsthen the host just does not allow that. If this .htaccess file with all the rules does not work, please explain what happens or post a link to your forum.Also, be sure you save the file as .htaccess beginning with a period (hidden file on *nix.)
In reply to: Cannot change Secret FieldThanks _ck_
Here is a screenshot of my iGoogle page with the bbPress.org Recent Posts feed right at the top/center. Your post is visible there
All the items on this page are RSS feeds.In reply to: Cannot change Secret FieldHow about just putting the correct value in bb-config.php?
define('BB_SECRET_KEY',Just make that the same as the value in wp-config.php
There’s no way in Plesk to manage the database? That seems odd. Do you have shell access where you could use mysql from the command line?
You need a feed reader, that’s all. With FireFox, when you click on the RSS icon, while viewing a topic page, I think it asks “subscribe to topic” and if you want to use “live bookmarks” which are RSS feeds built in to Firefox (this is probably different between FF2 and FF3.)
If you are seeing code, then the browser you are using is not equipped to handle RSS feeds.
Google Reader is one RSS feed reader:
The Google Personalize Home Page allows you to add RSS feeds right there too. I follow a lot of support forums that way. Just click “Add Stuff” then skip all the pretty icons and find the text “Add feed or gadget” which used to be called “Add by url” or something.
You just need a feed reader and I think everything will be fine.
In reply to: email notification to admin of every new postYes, I think it’s called “Burn a feed” at Feedburner.com. You can do that, then either log in or create an account. Once that is done, you will have a URL to insert into your bbPress header ( I think ) to redirect your feed to the FeedBurner feed.
Then, anyone who subscribes to that feed will be notified of new posts (if you burned the feed for Recent Posts, not Recent Topics.)
I’m not sure why it needs to go through FeedBurner though. If you have an RSS feed already in your bbPress forum for New Posts, why not just subscribe to that to be notified of new posts? I must be missing something…
P.S. There is nothing built into bbPress like this, for FeedBurner. So, you didn’t overlook it: it’s not there. Do the work at feedburner.com then change the URL for the feed in bbPress.
In reply to: How to Add custom Nav Bar to Theme?Sorry, lost this topic.
Looks like you have a button already, it’s just in the wrong spot.
1. Make sure your HTML tags are lowercase. This is what you have now:
<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="ASHB Home">
</FORM>Should be more like:
<form method="link" action="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/">
<input type="submit" value="ASHB Home" />
</form>2. To have control over that, I would put it in a div, and give it a CSS id or class. Something like this:
<div id="navbar">
<form method="link" action="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/">
<input type="submit" value="ASHB Home" />
</form>
</div>3. Now, with an id, you can make some modifications to your style.css. Something like this (add it right around the lines for the #header, since you’re still in the #header div):
#navbar {
position: relative;
/* top: {number of pixels from the top of the header}; */
/* left: {number of pixels from the left edge of the header}; */
top: 100px;
left: 0px;
}Try different numbers in your style.css for the #navbar top and left positions you just added, and see where the button ends up. I’m not sure where you want it, but that will allow you to move it.
If you want it beneath what is inside the header div, with the background image, you will have to move the code out of the #header div in header.php.
Does that help point you in the right direction?
In reply to: How do I change my forum’s path / URL?1. Please post a link to your forum so we can take a look.
2. No styling usually means the path to the stylesheet is wrong. You can look in the source of the HTML to see that.
3. Redirecting is probably because you have
trueorslugsfor your permalinks setting, but you haven’t set up permalinks yet. You can set the permalinks tofalseto get the forum working right now, then take the next step and make permalinks work.https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
Either that, or the stylesheet is really not there at the URL you tried, and WordPress is intercepting that and sending you to 404 page.
In reply to: email notification to admin of every new postOh yeah, RSS feeds are built in
Good idea.
In reply to: Adapt the “remove max width in admin” for bbPressYou want to remove the max width of the whole admin section? In my installation, the admin section appears to be at max width already (my monitor is at 1280px wide right now.) It doesn’t look like there’s any restriction, unless it shows up at wider than 1280px. Did you look at the css for the admin section?
~/bbpress/bb-admin/style.cssIn reply to: wysiwyg editor for postsThe closest thing I know of is “Comment Quicktags”:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/quicktags-4-bbpress/
I think a WYSIWYG editor would be overkill since a lot of the markup is not allowed by default. I suppose you could disable the buttons that use non-valid markup.
Or, these forum posts:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-added-wysiwyg-to-my-bbpress
In reply to: Multiple administrators possible?What role *exactly* do you want to give to multiple people?
In the Admin section > Users, there is a drop down on each user’s “profile> edit” page where you can select the role for them. My installation shows:
- Keymaster
- Administrator
- Moderator
- Member
- Inactive
- Blocked
There was also a plugin for forum-specific moderation and I’m not sure if it works with the latest release.
In reply to: email notification to admin of every new postI imagine it’s possible with a plugin.
This would be pretty close.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/#post-245
It holds the post for moderation. You could probably modify it to not hold for moderation, or if nothing else use the same filters and actions for your own plugin to just email on a new post or topic.
In reply to: How do I change my forum’s path / URL?Are the files actually installed in the WordPress plugin folder, or in a folder called forums now, located beside or or below the root WordPress folder?
In reply to: cannot login wordpress 2.6I suggest anyone trying to integrate bbPress with WordPress should read the sticky at the top of the forum.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101
It’s in there, very first post.
In reply to: This whole BuddyPress hype …. needs explanationBecause vanilla is jargon for plain or standard.
In reply to: blocking a user does nothingI confirmed this as well. I created a new member, logged out, logged in as admin, marked new member blocked, logged out, logged in as new member, everything appears fine. In the admin panel, the user is marked as blocked.
So, what *is* supposed to happen when a blocked member tries to log in?
I noticed that the blocked member cannot edit their profile: there’s just one tab there: Profile.
In reply to: Cron?There used to be a plugin that was hooked to someone marking an item as a favorite: that was the only time it would run. If you wanted to run it manually, you just marked something a favorite. That was a random sort of way to run it occasionally.
I think this was the plugin:
In reply to: Cannot create forumTry this:
$this->random_state = microtime() . uniqid(rand(), true);The warning is telling you the uniqid needs at least one parameter, so you should give it one.
In reply to: Dollar character stripped from linksI thought maybe the $ needed to be encoded, but it does not:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters
"$-_.+!*'(),", and reserved characters used for their
reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL.So, it’s valid. Interesting.
In reply to: Cron?Need more info.
If it’s a plugin, and there’s a management page, maybe you could just hit the URL from another system that does have the ability to schedule tasks?
I never looked into how WordPress does pseudo cron…
In reply to: Hiding Subforums’ Subforums from Subforum PagesYou might want to start a new topic for that new topic, now that you have the subforums thing sorted.
You situation sounds like this one from a while ago
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-do-this
I am not sure what the best way to do it is. Did you try making the forums and subforums all in one forum installation, and see what the actual loading time is? That would be easiest for user login integration I think.
Can you imagine updating 50 forum installations?
