The only limitation put on bbPress scaling is your own server environment. The more resources you have the more you can run. bbPress is no different than any other software in this regard.

No, topics are not deleted if no new replies. That would definitely require a custom plugin.

This is a question between Buddypress and WordPress, however I decided to post it also here, because I’m not too sure whether I should use BBPress or Buddypress in my setup and maybe someone could give me some advice here.

I’m working at a wordpress project that is structured as follows in a multisite configuration:

1) main site, single language, heavily customized with post types, loads of content, no forum, one webshop

2) secondary site, simpler setup, relatively little content, no forum, no webshop, multilanguage (WPML)

3) third site hosting a forum only and no other content; forum interface will be multilanguage (like site #2)

4) fourth site, reserved to admins only, single language, possibly a forum, to manage content and carry on project management tasks and discussions, etc.

– all sites would be in the same domain (ie http://www.domain.com/ = 1, http://www.domain.com/2, http://www.domain.com/3 etc)

– sites #1, #2, #3 would be seamlessly integrated in the frontend. However content displayed changes, since #1 has very different contents meant for users in the main language, while #3 is just a forum. Site #2 is intended to provide information and basic contents to international users, while the forum would provide a common space for discussion, being the interface translated.

I want a multisite setup so users can keep their logins, cookies, across the sites, yet at the same time make some order to admin the different areas.

Now… it is clear to me that WPML I can take care of the translation part. However, what I’m really clueless about is how to seamlessly integrate the forum part. Since mine is a community-type website, I want to have community features… Buddypress seems to offer a more complete solution for this than bare bbpress. I don’t want users to create their blogs or groups. But it would be nice to have better profile pages, private messaging, set their own display pic, and so on. Features that bbpress lacks or are not natively integrated (I come from a bbpress 1.0 experience and while I love it for the theming possibilities, plugin wise was badly supported).

So what I would really like to know… Does it make sense to run BuddyPress on site #3, activate only modules for member profiles, forums and activity streams?

Will the activity streams report activity of these users on sites #1 and #2? (would that include creation of new articles, posts and content by admins and authors? or just comments?)

Will the users be able to login from site #1 or #2 or #3 and kept logged in without any weirdness happening when navigating through the sites and performing actions?

Can authors from #1 and #2 link their profiles to profiles found in #3 Buddypress rather than using author.php? Same for registered users that post a comment on #1 or #2, can they have a link directing to their Buddypress member profile page/activity stream?

Being site #1 only in one language for both content and interface, what if user jumps from #2 or #3 to #1 and then back to #2 or #3, would his languages preference being persistent?

Thank you!

[newpress]

how many categories, forums, topics and posts bbpress wordpress plugin can handle? what are the limitations ?

Ben, I’ve had more success with the 2.1 development version, available as a zip at the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin.

All I have done is create a bbpress directory within my theme folder and in there copied in any files from pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytenbbpress that I wanted to modify. I have not moved any files out of the plugins directory.

I haven’t had much success with setting the css for bbpress from within my theme. In the end I ended up renaming pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencssbbpress.css to bbpress_master.css and creating a new bbpress.css in the same folder. Within this new file I have my modifications with the following as the first lines

/**

* bbPress specific CSS

*

* @package bbPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/

/* =bbPress Style

---

*/

@import url(“bbpress_master.css”);

I will need to be careful updating bbpress as I will lose my bbpress.css. Until I work out how to have css working through my theme it will do.

Hello everyone,

I must be the biggest newbie as I have only just downloaded wordpress and installed the BBforums etc..

I am having just one small problem in displaying replies properly. I would love to know if this a CSS related problem. See image below.

I am using a custom theme. Any suggestions! Many Thanks!

[testuserfay]

Hi. I am using BBpress to add a community component to my mostly informational site. What I want is for my forums to:

1) be hidden from nonlogged in members;

2) require members to be able to login and check the 1 forum that I assign to them for updates, WITHOUT having access to someone elses forum.

Is this at all possible through an existing plugin or through some code modification?

I am using wp-members for registration/login stuff. That plugin does have the ability to lock access to pages and posts, but currently, I don’t use those features.

I am also using latest BBpress and WordPress software.

Thank you.

[100pwd]

i have done an extensive search on this manner but i have not found anything (so i am hoping its just user error!).

i am using the latest version of bbpress as a plugin with the latest version of wordpress.

I LOVE IT!

however…

i have a privet area (category) in the root of my forum with private forums within. sounds reasonable!

but when i navigate to my forum root, my privet category shows 0 topics and 0 posts (yes i have added topics and posts). even worse, when i click on my privet category, it just says “This category contains 0 topics and 0 replies.” and doesn’t show the forums that live there. (sadface)

even more curious, if a make one of the privet forums with in my privet category, public… then they all show up (both in the root and in the category view)!

this is the case for all roles and accessibility.

can anyone shed some light on what i may be doing wrong?

It took me a lot of trial and error, deactivating and activating of plugins to figure out what the problem was with my bbpress.

I don’t know what, why or how, but there is some problem between bbPress and Greg’s High Performance SEO. If Greg’s is installed, bbPress does not work – your forum root will seem ok enough…but if you click on any forum, the forum’s topic listing page will not list any topics, and the topic page will not show the discussion or any response options.

This is sad because I have come to like Greg’s High Performance SEO…but because I have decided, for many reasons, to move from phpbb to bbPress, I hope a fix is found soon.

Will need way more specific information to be of any help. Links to sites, versions of WordPress/bbPress, etc…

[John James Jacoby]

@MTPower – Age old WordPress and bbPress UX issue. Could use some ajax to make it easier. bbPress 2.0 solves this, and when we update bbpress.org it will no longer be an issue. (You could have also used the link in the upper left, but it’s easily missed.)

@acoburn4 – Sadly you won’t be able to. Because all of WordPress is being rewritten to /blog, it would take some server level rewriting to make your forums work below it. Even then, I am not sure it would really work. You’ll want to make your entire site run at website.com, create two pages: /blog and /forums, then setup each the way you want them to be.

Is there a way to Create a corresponding Forum post when you create a WordPress post? With cross- Commenting capabilities?

[zachshallbetter]

Also, users are able to edit the admin’s profile.

I upgraded to 3690 and then back down to 2.02 with no results.

I defaulted the WordPress theme to twenty_ten no results.

Installed capability manager and verified that users were able to view forum information.

[zachshallbetter]

I’m having a problem where Admin is able to see their user information and all forum data but all other accounts are directed to a blank page.

This is the “local” address users get sent to http://pcocs/forums/users/skingsford/

This is where admins are directed. http://pcocs/forums/users/admin/

They have “gform_full_access”

I’m using the latest version of wordpress(3.3.1) and bbpress (2.02). I nuked everything related to bbpress including the db entries. reinstalled, and the same issue is occurring.

Disabled all plugins, and re-activated the plugin. Still unable to access user profile as another user. Able to access profile in dashboard.

Rebuilt the permalinks.

No themes, no plugins, just default data.

Any thoughts on what would cause this to occur?

[acoburn4]

I have WordPress installed on my server in a directory “wordpress.” My users can access this installation by going to http://website.com/blog

I would like to have the same effect happen for the bb-press plugin when someone accesses http://website.com/forums

How can I set this up?

Hi,

I tried to change some settings on the BP plugin today, and suddenly I lost access to the admin area of my site. This happened when I tried to change settings for the Register page, I tried to activate it (as Register and Activate pages were not activated).

I get access to the site if I delete the plugin, but the same error if I try to reinstall with a completly new version of the plugin.

By using the WP-DEBUG I get two errors:

Notice: Constant WP_MEMORY_LIMIT already defined in /home/noess/domains/kenta.no/public_html/idrett/wp-content/themes/canvas-buddypress/functions.php on line 4

Notice: wp_enqueue_script ble kalt feil. Scripts og stiler bør ikke være registrert eller “enqueued” foran wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts eller init. Vennligst se Debugging i WordPress for mer informasjon. (Denne meldingen ble lagt i versjon 3.3.) in /home/noess/domains/kenta.no/public_html/idrett/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3587

Anyone know what to do? Can I manually reset the setting for Pages in the BP plugin?

[bingles]

I found my problem. I had created a forums page in wordpress when I was testing some things. I had trashed it, but not permanently deleted it. Looking in the database, I noticed the entry. Once I permanently deleted it from my pages list, my forums list showed back up.

[ben_allison]

This seemed like a brilliant solution, but I’m sure I’m doing something wrong.

I already had a “forums” page, with the short code in place. The page slug is “forums.”

So, I figured I would make a template called page-forums.php, thinking that WordPress’s template hierarchy would take over… no such luck.

I will watch the vid when I get off the train. I’m sure the answer appears within the first 30 seconds…

[wasimansha]

Does this plugin convert the comments to Topics?

OR

it converts the posts to topics?

I really need to convert my comments to topics and have discussion over there.

my url is palestinefacts.org

you can see there is very long homepage so i need to convert them to forums.

[elizeb]

I think you should install Capthcha plugins. Search one for in Google.

@OC2PS

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes, uses the WordPress/bbPress permalink setup, so whatever you use for that, is what is used for the conversion.

4. nope 301’s are your job

5. Username/password and I think a couple other fields are imported, don’t remember exactly. If you are looking for full blown imports, which is different for each installation as you have different plugins installed than I do… then that would be a custom import job which AWJunkies does provide services for. Check the http://bbconverter.com site and send in a custom quote request.

@ED

No idea. Frankly the interest in converting things has been much less than we anticipated. I have no idea what AWJunkies plans are at this point. I do know he does provide custom import services if you need it.
