They talk about one “standalone importer” plugin.. but it is some kind of ghost plugin

it is not present in the bbpress.org plugins

it is not present in the wordpress.org plugins

but it does exists

I’m too in your situation.

I’ve installed and activated the bbpress 2.0.2 plugin in my wordpress… now what?

Thank you for any tip

One kind explanation…

where is this plugin?

I mean, I own a standalone bbpress forum (Version 0.9x)

I also own a wordpress forum

I’ve installed and activated the bbpress 2.0.2 plugin

How to import the standalone bbpress into the WP plugged-in bbpress installation?

Searching “standalone importer” on both wordpress.org and bbpress.org plugins sections, doesn’t return any plugin named “standalone importer”

One additional tip. once I’ve imported the standalone’s data, how is it supposed to be accessed the “new” forum? (from the blog’ visitors point of view)

Thank you for any advice and hint

Hi Pagal,

Hi, thank you for the link.

Looks like that Italic Text with the WPMimic theme doesn’t work.

Do you have any tip to fix it?

And additionally, one question to css gurus: About code boxes:

is there any way to give a better layout to code boxes? Maybe adding a border and a different background color

Thank you for any suggestion

Hi Ashfame, here, as in other posts, I thank you so much for your answers.

I “talk” with you as you talk with me. We exchange opinions.

I’m a democratic person, so I listen opinions, next I can agree or I can express my “counter-opinion”, they call them “points of view”.

They don’t hold the true, they are useful to grow.

It is supposed that bbPress staff would read our discussions and next take some inspirations for next releases (I like to suppose to)

Now, discussing of technical instead than philosophy, I’ve not enough skill but I find really interesting where you say … I will have different themes for different devices, optimized for their width…

Would you kindly give me a rough idea about this solution and or some links where to read about that (I mean bbPress and maybe wordpress related)? I would really thank you so much.

The impression is / it looks like, that we are not so many here (maybe I’m far and wrong, it is simply my impression/sensation), and looks like your knowledge is of a very good level : would you like to share it and give “some right tips” to us? Thank you if you.

Ciao

What about https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin

I mean, on the 1.0.2 installation of bbPres I’m testing, looks like there is no such feature.

The https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin page says:

Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher

Compatible up to: 0.9

An now what? 1.0.2 is higher than 0.9

Which plugin are you using on the bbpress.org forum to allow users to enable the Notify me of followup posts via e-mail?

( – this is the same story about https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ive-installed-bbpress-v102-but-it-doesnt-look-like-this-site

– this is a big leak in the spreading-concept of the bbpress staff

– this plugin is NOT an option that may interest or not o_O while is a must instead

– Don’t you think?)

what about loading my picture in this box on the left?

This question is double , ’cause I mean

– how to upload and display my picture in my profile in this bbPress forum

and also

– how to upload and display it on the forum (bbPress made) I’ve installed on my test system.

thank you for any link and or explanation

@ Ashfame: I thank you, but in the mean time I suppose your answer is directed to all the readers, ’cause obviously that one is the first site I’ve found while searching for bbPress themes.

The issue is that none of the two themes bundled with bbPress and none of the themes you can find out there is structured and logical as the one that any new potential bbpress user finds on the bbpress.org forum.

Two columns https://bbpress.org/forums/

on the left forums like a navigation menu

in the middle, recent topics

on the left bottom the rest

At least, for non-gurus, the staff should provide the instructions on how to customize the position of those “areas” (if they don’t want to share their theme – and I warn them that this is against any product-spreading-logic)

The best is to provide a really similar layout maybe with other colors and fonts.

To give you an idea, if you goto phpbb community forum, “what you see is what you get” and this is the correct approach… meant as prevent yourself hurting who will try out your product.

I hope you understand this is a kind suggestion to bbPress staff.

And again @ kevinjohngallagher, you should consider that those who may spread your product, most of the time, are not coders nor html-css-php experts. So, no layouts available and no easy customization instructions means no spreading, that as obvious consequence, could lead to no success of bbpress.

Dear Ashfame, it is not true what you say,

nowadays there is number of netbook out there with 10″ screens and you should beware about readability.

So there is not need to live under a rock to being surfing at 1024 screen resolution.

@ kevinjohngallagher and @ the rest of the bbpress staff.

I landed on bbpress searching for a nice forum, and i’ve found it because I do use wordpress.

Well, as any other person, I’m impressed by the apperiance and because I found it really attractive, I decide to download and mess myself up to install it and get it working (not much hard to be true).

When at the end I find that the look and mainly the page setup is totally different… you should understand @TheNet (who started this topic).

Anyway, I think that bbPress staff, should at least release such kind of three columns layout for the main page.

This for the simple reason that there is a number of new bbpress users that would start using this forum because they like as they see it and also because it is more logic and readable such kind of layout.

The same % of people, and I suppose they are not the minimum part, is choosing wordpress and would choose bbpress, because they are simple and effective without being an html-css-php-GURU

This may potentially lead to have them to try bbPress out, see that this kind ot theme layout is missing, see that is not easy to find bbPress themes out there and f**k-bbPress-off .

Not realy a good idea in terms of bbPress spreading.

Hope bbPress staff will think about this.

Confirmed, it is because there are no forums and posts

I’ve deleted the initial forum, this because it was more easy to me to start over with forums hierarchy.

This action leaded to the “Warning: Division by zero in” error.

Later, when I’ve created one valid forum and written my first topic, “Warning: Division by zero in” disappeared.

Now I’ll read as many docs I can, but I would suggest bbPress documentation editors to write in an explicit way

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

if the existent WordPress theme is automatically applied or if this is not possible, if it must be hacked or what ever

Thank you

R.
