Duplicate. Closing.
In reply to: a way to check for subforumsHowever you did it originally. You’ll have an easier time running it directly from a Subversion checkout. If you’re unfamiliar, a Google search should return tons of good results on how to do this. Makes the life of running bleeding edge code much easier.
In reply to: Safari and Chrome messed up layoutMost likely because the table layout is fixed and your containing element does not have any width associated to it.
#main table.bbp-topics,
#main table.bbp-forums,
#main table.bbp-replies {
table-layout: auto;
}
In reply to: Breadcrumb problemHi John,
Looks like you might have other, bigger issues on your hands.
In reply to: Limit the number of topics with [bbp-topic-index]Shortcodes do non currently accept any arguments at all. Would not be difficult to do, but committing to future-safe attributes will be key.
There’s a trac ticket for this already, so it’s on our radar to do in a future release. If it’s something that you need to write yourself, it’d be a great way to contribute back directly to the core project.
In reply to: Redirect no longer workingAssuming you’re running on some sort of Linux server, you’ll want to use an .htaccess file and research how to redirect pages from one place to another. Tons of articles available with a Google search on how to make this happen.
The meta refresh method is pretty janky, and won’t scale when you want to change a bunch of other links later on down the line.
In reply to: a way to check for subforumsAdded and fixed in: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1803
Will be in bbPress 2.1. Thanks for the recommendation!
Correct, but you’ll need to be creative, since you’ll want to unset or override existing rules.
In reply to: a way to check for subforumsNo reason you shouldn’t be able to single out the container for each forum, and do it that way?
Unfortunately not easily. WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress’s content types. It’s possible to overload them, but you’ll need to do so on your own.
In reply to: Breadcrumb problem1. Create a WordPress page with the same slug as your forums root
2. Add the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to that page’s content
3. Make this page the front page of your site
In reply to: Make new messages more obviousbbPress 1.x does not have unread posts or topic icons without third party plugins.
What version of WordPress are you using? I suspect something in your theme is attempting to access a $post variable that’s been unset as part of bbPress attempting to work its magic.
You can tell that it’s using the page template, since you have some hard-coded author information in there. It’s probably something in your theme that’s trying to access something that no longer exists.
In reply to: Spam filter over eagerCould be Akismet doing it?
In reply to: Problem with displaying time etc…This happens when your translation string is missing one of the variables it’s expecting to exist. Basically, the translation does not have an equal number of variables for the printf() being called on it.
Try using bbPress 2.1 pre-release and report back.

In reply to: Easy set up?? LOLThe feedback is great, the rest is insulting.
Closing so no one trolls.
In reply to: bbPress vs SimplePress SpeedIf you don’t have a forum yet, now isn’t the time to worry about if it will scale.
Scaling is about spreading the pain around. As you outgrow one technology (or set of technologies) you upgrade to another as needed, not as predicted or as planned.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t have a plan, but it’s awful early to know if it’s worth the time spent worrying about.
If you’re 100% certain that you’ll have +1million posts a year with billions of hits a month, then you wouldn’t be asking this question because you’d already know the answer: no, it won’t scale out of the box; you’ll need caching, memcached, and countless servers and data centers to manage it all.
The short answer, don’t be afraid to start out small. When it’s time to grow, you can pretty easily export specific post types with WordPress’s export tool and shard it across multiple multi-site blogs if you wanted; shard the database(s) across multiple servers; whatever you need to do to get by.
If your forums grow quickly and you find performance gains, it’d be great to have them contributed back to the project. It’s true that moving from bbPress standalone to plugin traded some performance for convenience, but it’s been the # 1 most requested feature since it’s introduction.
Also, there’s nothing *wrong* with bbPress 1.1. If you’re more comfortable using something purpose built from the ground up as a simple forum, you can still use it. Just know that nothing but fairly significant code changes or bug fixes are actively going in.
* Taxonomies don’t have metadata, to allow for topic & replies counts or latest content
* Comments don’t allow for attachments without some major work
* The API for custom post types is farther along, more robust, and provided a relatively quick head start (see above)
In reply to: HTML entities in notification emailsThis is already fixed in the development version. Probably best to wait until its released.
In reply to: bbpress.org Still Alive?I understand that maybe you could misinterpret a lack of moderators to the entire project being dead, but topics like this only end up making the active contributors feel bad. There’s only so much time available to volunteer in the day. If you want to help us out, tag any spam topics as ‘modlook’ and Jared and I will go through them when we see them.
This is strictly theme controlled. Nothing bbPress can really do about overriding this for now.
In reply to: Installed 2.0.2 Can't get shortcodes to workMore likely it’s your theme not working with bbPress, then. Does whatever you’re trying to do, work correctly with TwentyEleven or bbPress (TwentyTen) ?
In reply to: 2.1 auto-embed feature not working?Looks like it’s an issue with filter priorities. It’s being turned into a link from inside wp_editor() instead of an autoembed. Seems to work if you post a link from the HTML editor. If you can confirm this is true, can you create a bug on trac, and I’ll close this topic?
In reply to: Where is the Admin Panel located?bbPress comes with a built in set of theme files to get you started. You’ll need to customize your active theme yourself if you want it to look differently. There isn’t a huge market for third party themes quite yet.
