WordPress Version: 3.3.1

bbPress Version: 2.0.2

All has been working well. Half way through styling the forum and suddenly when a user is not logged in the get redirected to the login page.

I have replaced the bbPress plugin files with the originals just in case I have done some thing, but still not working!

I am using the Theme My Login and Theme My Profile plugins as well but it has been working whilst using these!

Any ideas people.

Thanks

Hello!

There is a wordpress plugin I am trying to use, and it wants me to upload a file to my theme files.

If I upload the files to the BBPress theme folder, on the next update, wont it erase the file?

So, couldn’t I copy the BBPress theme folder and put it in my twenty-ten theme directory as a child theme, and wouldn’t that work? or not? Or, I I just being an idiot and forgetting something?

What is a good place to look for bbPress-themes?

The wordpress.org only lists two themes when I do a search…

I have a site which is only a forum and I am looking for a crystal clear and light-wight theme to use on it.

Agreed.

I just found https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ban-hammer/.

I wonder if this plugin will do the trick. Anyone here tried it out before?

bbPress shares a login page with WordPress. Refer your users to “yoursite.com/wp-login.php” or whatever custom login page you have set up.

In the edit profile or profile section of the BBPress user. the user name is a bit redundant. What files do I need to edit to remove it after the word ‘About’ and and possibly in the edit profile link?

I provided a screen shot.

can someone please help me with this?? Surely there’s a better way to add content to archive-forum.php and archive-topic.php than hardcoding html into the page – there must be a way to use the ‘Forum’ and ‘Topics’ page created in WordPress???

[Everton]

if my question was confused, in summary it’s – is there a way to build the forum homepage using a wordpress Page so that I can edit the content on the forum homepage using the WordPress Page editing window?

Thanks

WordPress allows for anyone to register to your website. If you enable this option under general settings then you have everything you want.

Good luck!

Hello!

I want to contribute ukrainian translation. But I don’t see ukrainian language at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin, and there is no possibility to add it.

How to add Ukrainian to the list of translations?

The only thing I have heard of is forumconverter https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forumconverter/

Not sure it works, though.

I have WordPress 3.3.1 installed with Buddypress 1.5.4 and the BBpress plugin installed as a site-wide forum. Everything works after I save the forums settings but if I navigate to any other page in the WordPress administration area all of the rewrite rules for BBpress in the wp_options table are deleted. I can get them back by saving the forum settings again. No other plugins are having their rewrite rules deleted, just the BBpress plugin. Like I said I can get the forum working as long as I don’t use the admin area after saving the forums settings but obviously this isn’t a good solution. Any ideas? Has anybody else come across this issue?

I’ve just set up a new wordpress site, created a network, added buddypress and bbpress.

The main site is my site. When I went in and created forums, everything worked well. However, when I add the forums to the community menu, none of the newly created forums display.

What am I missing?

Hi,

I manage a community about electric cars and we have a wordpress with buddypress. Our buddypress installation is only used for the forum (+ profiles and IM).

I’d like to move from buddypress to BBpress. Do you know if there is a easy way for me to transfer all messages from the buddypress forums to the BBpress forums ? Do you have some advices to success my transition ?

Thanks

Ok, this is weird. I am running a forum at ukjournalism.co.uk/huoguo Ihave users in the UK and China. The UK users can post, but when the users in China post, it all seems to work, but the posts don’t show on the page. I can see the posts in the dashboard, and they are “published”, but they’re just not there. The list of postes even says Showing 5 posts of 8, but I can’t see the last three at all.

All I can think is that there is some setting deep in the bowels of the plugin, wordpress, or my server itself, that simply won’t let something from a Chinese IP post? Any other possibilities? The posts are all in English, it’s not a character typeset problem.

It seems that bbPress will be using GlotPress for managing translations

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1737

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1738

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1739

Can someone please explain what it is and how it works in layman terms? Details are a bit sketchy at http://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/

Will the translations be pulled live from a web service? Or will every update to the language push .mo .po files to the bbPress installation, and these files will continue to be stored locally? Or is it something entirely different?

Also, in what sort of timeframe/milestone is bbPress planning to make a switch to GlotPress automatic mechanism? I know that the translations are already available at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/

@ebiznet88:

I’m checking out another possible solution to bridge phpBB3 to WP. Its a plugin available at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-phpbb-bridge/

Interesting.

But it sucks that in this plugin user management has been given to phpBB. WordPress has many more interesting options, like FB/Google/Twitter login, etc.

@ebiznet88: Hard Seat Sleeper is on topic and talking about bbConverter

I’m also experiencing this problem. Having installed the bbPress plugin (2.02) on my WordPress site, I’ve managed to get almost everything working. However, when I try to view a User Profile (http://site_url/users/username) I get a 404 error – but only for ‘Forum Participant’ members (not admins).

I do not have any other membership plugins installed. It happens for members created without spaces in their usernames (which was one suggestion), and it happens even if I switch off the “prefix forum area with forum base slug” and recreate the forum, as suggested here.

Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: one other point, and it’s an odd one, even though the page shows a 404 error in the headers, it displays fine in Chrome and Opera. However, it does not initially display in Internet Explorer 9 and shows a browser 404 page, but it does show up after two refreshes (though not 1). Go figure.
