If you use services like MyBlogLog or Gravatar, you can use that plugin for bbPress and WordPress has a couple of plugins that also bring in those avatars into your comments. Good question fel64! How did you do it?

Phew!! After a whole evenings work and a lot of jumping over hurdles trying to fix things, my wordpress and bbpress are working perfectly. Now what i want is to scrap the wordpress author.php page i created for users profiles, and use the bbpress profile. But that means adding i na few extra fields in edit profile, and displaying them in the profile. Can anyone help with this?

Also can anyone recommend the best avatar plugin that will also work on wordpress comments? Thanks!

[gtim]

Most bbPress might be WordPress users too, but I actually don’t think that so many will use it together with WordPress.

Anyway, both WordPress and bbPress do everything they can in order not to get bloated. This is the job of a WordPress (and bbPress?) plugin.

Hello,

Sorry if this has been resolved already, but I haven’t found the answer

Is there a directory, viewer, site, post, whatever that lists bbPress themes available round there (similar to WordPress themes viewers-showcases)? I’ve only found like 4 bbPress themes that really work with my current installation (0.8.1) after searching virtually everywhere.

Of course, I can always try and make my own template, but if anyone else is developing and releasing themes, I would like to know and they deserve to be promoted.

Thanks in advance.

I think the easiest thing to do is to use Louisedade’s avatar plugin ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1027?replies=3 ), and then using a simple MySQL query on the WordPress side to get that data to use next to comments.

How did you integrate profiles?

[t0v3]

Does anyone know of a plugin with which i can use on both the aforementioned sites? I’ve integrated both bbpress & wordpress so they use the same profile, and i just want to include a way for users to upload an avatar. and for it to show next to comments. their posts, and in their profile. Any help much appreciated!

[fel64]

Most of us using bbpress are using wordpress as well.

Are you sure?

I would like a great degree of integration too, mainly blogpost/topics and comments/replies, but we may be in the minority.

[maxbear]

Most of us using bbpress are using wordpress as well. All we want is add the forum feature to our blog easily. If bbpress can just embed in a wordpress page, it will be much easier for us to work with both script. Just my thought

Suleiman,

since you were successful integrating wpmu and bbpress, could you tell me what they mean in the installation instructions (https://bbpress.org/blog/2006/09/simpler-integration-with-wordpress)

by “setting bb->wp_table_prefix”?

when i open config.php i see in the botton the following:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ”; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

so, again the question is what exactly do i need to change in config.php

thanks!

i attempted to login to trac, however the login information i use here (or at wordpress.org) does work for the trac login. Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround in the meantime?

[midnightsun]

Hi,

I have placed <?php login_form(); ?> in the wordpress sidebar and it doesn’t appear however once I goto the forum pages it displays the login form or the welcome messages.

I have the wordpress header file linked in the bbpress config.php file aswell.

Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thanks,

Rich

Gack!

I listed a bunch of WordPress plugins. That doesn’t help. Basically, the concept is the same. You need to grab the RSS feed from bbPress and insert that into your site.

How about any of these techniques?

http://www.google.com/search?q=insert+rss+into+html

The first result looked promising…

[fel64]

Sorry Spencer, I haven’t seen the Gathering theme and aren’t particularly looking for a forum theme right now anyway. It’d be cool to see, though.

But please don’t take down WordPress, I need that WP/bb/Mediawiki integration article for future reference!

[maxbear]

Hello,

I can use one installation and run many wordpress sites (http://me.mywebsight.ws/2006/08/11/host-multiple-wp-sites-on-one-installation/) All you need to modify the config.php

Do you think this method can apply to bbpress as well?

[john24]

Thank you so much for your support.

[Morbid]

Yes, I made sure the registration.php existed. The weird thing is that if it had not existed, my .htaccess should redirect to the main page. It’s driving me crazy.

To top things off, I now have the bozo issue that I cannot resolve at work, and the users who I had register through WordPress are not able to comment (but I can)…but that’s another support issue entirely…I think.

[fel64]

Oh, I see what you mean. I just thought of those as seperate sub-forums of the main forum.

I don’t know how that option works. Perhaps it tags threads according to their category if that category is there? Just experiment with it a bit, and if you find out tell us

[Morbid]

I have done a complete site re-design and have been debating between using vBulletin, which I own, or bbPress. I decided to try out bbPress purely from the simplicity and low-maintenance aspect. But I am having a registration issue that may be cookie related, but I am not sure.

I have bbPress installed within my WordPress directory. I also have bbPress integration as well as WordPress integration to keep users synced between the two (I hope that is what I was supposed to do).

My WordPress register page seems to be working:

http://www.dreamindemon.com/Blog/wp-login.php?action=register

But my bbPress does not:

http://www.dreamindemon.com/Blog/forum/register.php

I have verified that registering in WordPress does integrate the user automatically into bbPress.

Any ideas on what I should be looking at to resolve this?

Hi.

I know that’s not the wordpress forum, but my problem is about bbpress so i’ll ask there.

firstly, look at this: http://ram.org.pl/forum/

everything seem to be working ok, but click on the ‘latest discussion’ called ‘ostatnio na forum’ in my sidebar on the right. there’s a problem with links to topics. how to resolve the problem?

[john24]

On this forum there are a few categories. It is probally not called categories in English.

– Installation

– Troubleshooting

– Templates

– Plugins

– Requests and Feedback

– Pimp your Press

This plugin has an option “N/A Categories (separated by comas, eg. “1,10,40”) -” but, how does it work?

[fel64]

There’s no such thing as categories in bb, unless I don’t understand what you mean? You can tag threads, but there’s no such thing as categories.

[john24]

Thank you. Do you know if it also automaticly creates Categories?

[fel64]

Yup! http://dev.mbzeus.net/?page_id=6 It’ll create (or edit) topics in bb when you make or edit posts in WP.

[john24]

Is there a plugin that automaticly copies categories and post from the wordpress blog?

[tiszenkel]

I’m running a fresh installation of bbPress, albeit with the WordPress integration and Bozo-error-fix plugins, and I noticed that certain links return a “No input file specified” error page. Here’s an example:

http://www.queenscentral.com/forums/tags/

The homepage RSS seems to do the same thing:

http://www.queenscentral.com/forums/rss/

Though other RSS feeds are working fine.

Anybody know what could be causing this?
