bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin. It’s a standalone software. Go to bbpress/ and you will access your brand new installation.
“Add your plugin” form (https://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests) doesn’t function. It keeps sending me to the bb_die page “Your attempt to do this has failed.”
I have three new plugins to share with the community but right now I can’t.
My plugin can help you as chrishaker said. Under “Roles Lock Rules” check “member”, “inactive” and “blocked”. Doing this only the keymaster, administrators and moderators can create new topics and add/modify posts/tags on that forum.
Ask me additional informations if you have doubts.
But. I am astonished that there is no checking in bbPress to see if a topic already exists in a forum before allowing a topic with exactly the same title to be created.
In a forum is perfectly normal to have one or more topic with the same title. But the slug created is unique cause a number is appended with bb_slug_increment.
You can install that plugin. No need to use the mail system.
Perry. BuddyPress have already its own forum functionality which is as well an hacked version of bbPress. So you don’t need to install bbPress if you want a forum.
Go to /wp-admin/admin.php?page=bb-forums-setup and click “install”.
Once you have done this you can access the forum at /forums/. That page (/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-login.php) doesn’t display anything in BuddyPress.
If you have problems with BuddyPress you should ask for help in BuddyPress support forum and not here. This is the forum of bbPress.
What you mean with “posting date”? You haven’t posts in your forum. Do you mean that when you create a new topic it is automatically dated to 9 months ago? Or the values you obtain in /bb-admin/options-general.php?
how can I add a post or topic in the admin panel?
If you want to create a new topic just create it from the forum.
Your server is just a computer in which is installed bbPress. You need to connect to that server from your computer with an FTP client. Once you have established the connection you must upload the plugin file to the remote server and activate the plugin from the bbPress admin area.
It seems to me that you haven’t the necessary knowledge to perform such task. Maybe it’s better for you to hire someone for doing your work.
I don’t know what a “forum’s admin centre” is.
Connect to your server and upload the file. If you don’t know how to do this maybe you should hire someone for doing it for you. If you want to be a bbPress admin you must know how to manage a site using an FTP client.
We are talking about folders actually stored on your site server (http://www.cabbagemedia.com/students/forums) where bbPress has been installed. You need to access to your server through an FTP client.
The root folder is the folder where you have installed bbPress. You need to open the FTP program you use and create a my-plugins folder inside the bbPress folder (if there isn’t already a folder with that name.) Once done this you must change that folder permission (write/read/exec) to 755 and upload the allow-images.php file inside it. Then open the plugin panel in the admin area of bbPress and activate the plugin.
2) CHANGING THE LAYOUT
Install a new theme or change the default one that is located in bb-templates/kakumei
There are plugins that allow you to upload avatars. The best, in my opinion, is bavatars. But there isn’t, as far as I know, a plugin that provide a connection with the MU avatar database.
My plugin (zaerl Visibility) let you lock or hide whatever forum/topic you want and it has been built for 1.0.2 and later versions. But it does not log out members.
You want to deny new registrations? Or you simply want a forum that nobody can edit anymore?
This can be very challenging. The vBulletin SQL schema is very complicated and it isn’t, as far as I know, well documented.
It was just a correction. It’s fair to sell GPL software. If you, the developer, choose a copyleft-like license as the GPL you know what other people can do with your code (and what they can’t.) Basically speaking you put your work in the public domain with the only difference that others can use and distribute your software under the terms and condition of the GPL. If you don’t want other people to make money with your work than you can choose a more restrictive license like the Creative Commons Non-Commercial.
Every topic has its own RSS in the form site.com/rss/topic/topic-name
This is one of the most important thing of GPL (the famous “free as in freedom” and not “free as in free beer”.) http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
You can’t break it with that ‘link’. But you can change the call:
bb_tag_heat_map( 9, 38, 'pt', 80 );
in tags.php and write a simple javascript that filter away X in the generated <p class="frontpageheatmap">.
So will your plugin be compatible with bbPress 1.03 or is there another solution already integrated in bbPress 1.03?
My plugin works in 1.0.2 which is the official release. When the new bbPress will come (it’s in alpha stage right now) I will update it if necessary. Given what I have seen it will work at 99% without changes. At least if devs don’t add a ‘/post/*’ rewrite rule.
Will my old anchor-links stop working after activating your plugin?
Yes. That are just links. I don’t modify any template function but I just add another way of addressing the posts. Obviously if you deactivate the plugin all the posts permalinks will spawn a 404.
