@JJJ, what exactly is it idea for Hidden and Private forums? As I can see, it’s only the administrator who has access to them, and there is no way to add user groups or users to a hidden or private forum. Or am I missing something?
I’m very much interested in this as well..
Have you used the tool in the administration to recount bbPress?
Have you used the tool in the administration to recount bbPress?
@Morgan Wick: I can’t say it can’t be one of those.. I’ve tried both Chrome and Firefox on Mac OS X, and both fails. I can be server settings, but I’m running a dedicated server with full access, and no settings has been made strict (safe mode etc.), so it would surprise me, if that was the case.
@JJJ: I’ve now created some bug reports, hope this will helps you find the bug location.
@JJJ: Thanks.. I’ve created a bug for the missing option to choose a Hidden or Private forum as parent. And after moving the language files to a subfolder named bbpress the translation worked. I’m trying to figure out the importer problem, to make a good bug report, and as far I can see you’ve already fixed problems that I made quick-fixes for (the same way I did it).
So the problem now, is that I can’t run the importer at all (returning the blank “content” after specifying the path. I’m looking into it, and testing to see if I can figures out what’s going on..
I have a new and simple questions, which might be a bug:
* Shouldn’t it be possible to choose either users og user roles of which are able to view hidden and private forums? As far as I can see, Administrators are the only one to view these, and no changes can be made.
I’m working on a danish translation of bbPress, and is about half way through, but would like to test if the terms are used correctly in context. But for some reason I can’t make it use my .po file. I’ve copied both the .po and .mo to the /wp-content/languages/ folder, and the files are named: bbpress-da_DK.po/.mo
What is wrong?
@JJJ: Any change, you could take a quick look at my questions? As I would love to move on testing tomorrow..
Is the theme compatible with bbPress? You can’t just active any theme, if they haven’t been prepared for bbPress. As far as I know…
@tooltrainer: Just go to the administration for Forums, click edit for the forum you want to re-order.. In the right sidebar there’s a “order” field, which defines the order of the forums. You’ll, as far as I know, have to change the order for all forums individually.
I’ve been using bbPress for quite a while and figured it would be about time to take a look at the bbPress 2.0 plugin. So far most things work as they should.. but I’ve faced some problems.
I was running: bbPress 1.0.2
I’m running: WP3.1.2 + bbPress 2.0-beta-1 plugin
It’s mostly related to the importer. I doesn’t through me any errors, but after defining the path and starting the importer, a white page is shown (the menu and headline is there, but the “content field” is white/blank/empty).
* I then tried the script bbs2p.php, and it worked a bit better, but all the replies was missing topic id and forum id in the meta – i solved that by copying the to lines from topic creation.
* Further more replies was missing correct “post_name” and therefore also “guid”, I solved that by adding it as seen under topics, but prefixing the post_name with “reply-to-“.
* Then the next problem is tags – they are created and linked correctly, but as with the replies the slug is incorrect and not following the WP3 standard, therefore the links are broken.
And last, I have a question about the forum types: Private & hidden. How exactly are they working? And why can’t I make private/hidden parent > child forums? In the “Parent” list only normal/visible/public forums are listed.
$decimals = ( is_null( $decimals ) ) ? $bb_locale->number_format : intval( $decimals );
This line (443) in the same file (/bb-includes/class.bb-locale.php), it returns a comma (,) when $decimals isn’t a number, which isn’t correct according to the PHP manual.
Why are we setting it to $bb_locale->number_format and not 0 when $decimals aren’t set?
I just found the code making the “error”.
/bb-includes/class.bb-locale.php : Line 445
$num = number_format( $number, $decimals, $bb_locale->number_format, $bb_locale->number_format );
I can also tell, that the server is up to date, running the latest PHP 5 etc.
Isn’t the problem, that these three can’t really be translated using the .pot file available? I’ve tried to make a Danish translation, and I’m having problems with these as well.
I’m quite new to translation, but how about hour/hours, minute/minutes? I only seem to be able to find the last one of each pair. I remember translating a plugin, in which’s .pot file there was several lines with to input/outputs for things like hour/hours.
You main site only has PR2, which is low/very low for the main page, therefore you can’t expect much pagerank to go further down on you forum. You “earn” pagerank, it’s not just a gift from Google 
Has anyone made a temporarily fix to this?
I can see, that not much had happened even though it has been discussed a bit.

Hi again,
Very strange – it worked for a while, and then broke completly down. I then deleted the database-copy, made a new copy and installed bbPress again, and now it works, with the correct settings. As far as for now, I can’t say anything about what went wrong. But thanks for your replies!
I’ve solved the problem, by defining charset as latin1_swedish_ci and collate as utf8, even though I would been it should have been the other way around – or am I wrong?
Nope, it’s not shared or anything.. but it seems like being a problem between what character set of data bbPress thinks it getting and what it actually get. I’ll try working on it, and see what happends..
The same for me – right now, bbPress needs a lot to be the perfect community, but by time I’m sure it’ll be the one! And the fact, that its possible to integrate it with WordPress is great.
Hi SMU,
Yes, I’ve tried to find the .pot or .po files for the plugins – but I couldn’t.. What I did instead was to make a few more lines in the main translation, and that worked. It’s probably not the right way, but it works for now
Thanks for your time and help!
Hi chrishajer,
It looks like it helped me, thanks!
Hi SMU,
Could you please help me? I’m using your translation, and it’s very great – thanks! But I’ve installed a couple of plugins, and I want the new content to be translated too, but I don’t know how to either edit your file og create a new one, containing the new text-lines.
