What version of bbPress are you using ?
What version of WordPress are you using?
Are you using “deep integration”?
That said, I’d hardcode them if I were you. Given that you know you’re going to be on your forum page, and therefore dont need to having anything dynamic or highlighted, you can just hardcode it to work.
Not an ideal solution, but its one that you can control completely
Good Luck
Thanks for that Chris, v helpful.
Your text seems a tad bigger than mine but I think i might have found some of the issues.
1) The stylesheet specifies “Lucida Grande,Tahoma,’Bitstream Vera Sans’,Arial,sans-serif” and I’m not sure it was tested on all of those fonts.
There’s quite a large difference between the way Lucia Grande and Tahoma look on windows (and people with Safari on Windows can now have Lucia Grande; but its not there by default), and at 12px and above Tahoma and Arial start to look differently too…
2) In comparing what I can see on the forums and your screenshot, I’m getting 2extra words per line.
Either way, it’s a drop in text size of a considerable amount. And a drop in the amount of space that the text is given in comparison to the old theme (not that an increased avatar doesn’t help the conversation but…)
3) On the forum listing, since last week, some of the text has been of a bigger size than others. Specifically:
#bborg-discussions table td div {
font-size:14px;
}
Edit: I have no extrnal css stuff going on, which i put down to laziness
bbPress has 3 things going for it:
1) It can integrated a single signon with a wordpress install
2) It’s very easy to ‘theme’
3) It’s totally open source and easy to code for
If you like these, then bbPress is for you. If these things are not enough (and for most people they’re not) then bbpress is not for you.
It’s also wrong to say that bbPress is missing alot of functionality. that’s purely down to your perception of what YOU think a forum should have. bbpress documentation is shockingly thin on the ground, so if it doesn’t do what it claims to do – tell us
But don’t judge it because it doesn’t do something it doesn’t claim to – you’ll never find the software that fits your needs that way.

<?php<br />
//Put this in someplace obvious<br />
// like the config file<br />
global $path_needed_for_ryans_plugin = "/path/to/stuff/"</p>
<p>?><br />
<?php<br />
global $path_needed_for_ryans_plugin;<br />
require_once( $path_needed_for_ryans_plugin .'1.html' );<br />
?><br />Infact you’re probably better off doing in it with a “define” but I’ve not used Ryan’s plugin and didn’t want to presume.
Long term though, this should be something the plugin handles itself. After all the point of a plugin, especially one that is meant to make it easier to sort out themes without having to edit them, is ot not edit the themes
It’s still a great first step though.
No worries Chris (or Alex),
I wasn’t really getting into a discussion
(and sorry Alex dude, i hadn’t seen your reply)
Yo dudes,
I know matey, wasn’t meant in a bad way at all
In terms of backward compatability, there’s quite a bit of change to how constructs and classes are handled, and depending on when the code was written, could cause some hidden issues.
bbPress 0.7,0.8 & 0.9 weren’t major rewrites of any of the basic backend code. A huge chunk of them were written by Matt over a weekend some 7 years ago and the move to backPress was a definative leap (fully awesome OOPness – as much as its kinda useless ).
So what i meant wasn’t just the leap from PHP4final to PHP5; but also things that were not aimed for PHP4 but that PHP4 supported. i.e. The code that was still in bbPress0.9 that was written when PHP3 was still around.
Long time bro.
I know the problem of which you speak mate, and while not knowing exactly which bit of code makes it go away, I’ve not had it in ages.
Login in wordpress >>> check that i’m “logged in” on bbPress >>> access admin.
Yeah it all works. I’ll have to delve into the code when home, but I think the sites I’m testing on are using “super anne” code/plugin. I also doubt these are on the latest versions of bbpress/wordpress. Frankly I’ve accepted that installing bbpress means not upgrading wordpress.
As i recall from the long long long thread in 2008, the key thing was having:
in wordpress config:
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
in bbPress config:
$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_’;
$bb->cookiedomain = ”;
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;
The basic theory was that the bbPress admin, wasn’t reading the wordpress cooking properly or at all, something to do with when it was assigning/pulling data from the “$bb” global variable; so it wouldn’t let you access the admin panel of bbPress. But by setting this info in the config (loaded first) it solved it.
That may be pie in the sky my friend, but thats what my brain is telling me.
