Hi @victor.madeira yes, we didn’t stay with it long – there was just too many vBulletin features that weren’t available.
In reply to: Where are my RSS Feeds?Hey @robkk –
We’re off the “staging” area now, so I’ve got the bbPress installed at:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/The RSS feed for everything in the forum (new topics, replies, etc) is:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/feed/However, when I try to do the /discuss/topics/feed it just says “comments on …” as if it would only be showing a comments feed. Nothing shows up there?
@robkk –
Thanks for the screenshot – that is EXACTLY what I was trying to do … but I don’t seem to be able to find that on my forums at http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/Two questions:
1 – when you say “in the subscriptions area” – what do you mean by that? Where is the “subscription area” and how to you get there?WAIT: I think I found it here:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/members/admin/forums/subscriptions/Also, if you’re good w/ design/style, etc — can you tell me why my right sidebar gets pushed down to the bottom of the page on certain forum pages? It displays fine on some, but in the subscriptions area it doesn’t, and also, any forum that is a parent forum to a group also displays w/ the right sidebar pushed down.
In reply to: Forum & Thread Titles Duplicated@robin-w while you’re in there, can you take a look at the other issue we’re having, which is how to:
1: make the sub-forums NOT display thread/reply count, and NOT be listed horizontally, comma separated, but rather, be listed vertically, in a list
2: look at the a few of the forums that are parent forums to groups (ie. Songwriting forum). For some reason, any forum that is a parent forum to a Buddypress group has the right sidebar pushed down to the bottom, even though the content area for the threads doesn’t appear to be any wider?In reply to: Forum & Thread Titles DuplicatedThanks @robin-w much appreciated. I think I’ll notify the template creator as well.
@Robkk thanks for the reply. I have the “mark as read” plugin installed but it still doesn’t quite accomplish what I’m looking for (and what I’ve seen so many other people search for), which is a quick view of ALL unread forums or replies. Any new content — regardless of whether or not you are subscribed to that thread.
We migrated from vBulletin 4.2.2 and this is what we’re missing the most. Logging in and immediately being able to “view all unread”.
There’s just gotta be a way!
In reply to: Forum & Thread Titles Duplicated@robin-w just making sure you saw my reply – would love the assistance.
Thanks RoBK – I see it now – wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Any thoughts on if there is anything that easily filters and displays all unread forums/threads in one easy view?
In reply to: Forum & Thread Titles DuplicatedThanks for the quick reply. Which one is the blue, and which is the black? I think the blue looks better, but it would help us to know where each is coming from … thanks for your input.
In reply to: Trying to Convert vBulletin 4.x to bbPress – ErrorNot sure how or why – but after repairing the database in vbulletin via the vbulletin adminCP, this finally worked!
In reply to: Trying to Convert vBulletin 4.x to bbPress – Error@netweb – wondering if I tag you here, if it will show up … would love your feedback on this. Right now, we’ve got quotes out to a couple of people to do the migration for us, but it’s gonna be around $300 bucks. Ouch.
In reply to: Where are my RSS Feeds?OK – so there’s no widget or plugin to easily display the RSS feeds for bbPress then?
In reply to: Where are my RSS Feeds?DOh – sorry about that – I guess the staging URL redirect didn’t work like that.
You can just go to:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/staging/forumsI know I can add a text widget and use some RSS icons and build links, but I’m curious where these feeds come from here in the sidebar at bbpress.org:
Feeds

All Recent TopicsI’ve searched the plugins and don’t see anything. I feel like I’m missing something OBVIOUS?
In reply to: bbPress and BuddyPress – Need Insight, PleaseHey Rob,
Yes – thank you. Dan has been very helpful. At this point, I think it’s becoming more of a preference question … as I am struggling with what path to take.We definitely already have sitewide forums w/ vBulletin, so we could easily just keep WordPress as our blog and use site-wide forums w/ bbPress. The thing I feel like I’m missing there is the added sense of community that can be built via the “add friend” type thing you get w/ BuddyPress.
Beyond that, my biggest question is the use of Groups in BuddyPress. My concern I expressed in the other thread was that you can get the discussion happening inside a group (via the comment/status system) that is NOT part of the forum, and vice-versa. So, discussion is not happening in the same place. The big idea we had was to bring it all together.
I suppose the simplest idea would be to not enable groups, and use site-wide forums … but if not using Groups, I’m not sure what other big plus there is to BuddyPress.
Again – I realize at this point, it’s all subjective and preference. I’m enlisting some beta-testers to hit our staging site from our existing forums to see what they like/dislike.
