I am using bbPress as a WordPress plugin, and I found it doesn’t fit well on my Android phone or iPod screens. Well, forum menu is crashed and topic-creating forms looks weird and so on.

It would maybe a templates problem, I guess.

How do I fix this issue? Is there any WordPress plugins or themes that solve this?

Hello!

I downloaded the theme of bbPress for my PC. However, I do not know how I should proceed. Please could you tell me what I do to install the wordpress and can integrate it?

Thanks

Hadn’t thought about any of that actually. I suppose a person could choose what existing forum to put the posts in, make replies anonymous temporarily on bbpress when doing the conversion, so that you could post comments as replies without having to register anyone.

Mostly I think the most important thing to transfer over would be to have the topic itself.

Not sure how much a demand for this there would be though, I know I’m not the only one who is looking for a way to do this though. I’m hoping to use bbpress in such a way that it replaces the blogging function entirely, so hopefully i can figure this out.

I think there might be a way to do it actually. I thought I saw something once upon a time that converted wordpress posts into bbpress topics for the standalone version. I guess once you convert to the standalone you could then convert it yet again to the plugin version.

I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.

what theme are you using?

i want to export/migrate bbpress stand alone database integrated with wordpress which i import into another wordprss database

Will there be possibility to add classes like in WordPress post_class().

I know that bbp_topic_class() is using post_class() via bbp_get_topic_class() already, but I would love to see simple solution to add custom classes to row of topic, something like bbp_topic_class(“my custom classes”) or with compatibility bbp_topic_class($topic_id, "my custom classes").

waiting for ‘John James Jacoby’.. please help us. This is a critical thing for me. and most people would need this at some point of time.

Are you using the new bbPress 2x?

If so, bbPress 2x does not use custom bbPress themes anymore. It uses your currently active WordPress theme.

[aravoth2011]

can this convert wordpress posts into bbpress posts? Cause that would be a pretty sweet idea.

Maybe you should use ‘User Avatar’ as your member profile photo upload system.

Visit: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar/

Desc: Allows users to associate photos with their accounts by accessing their “Your Profile” page that default as Gravatar or WordPress Default image (from Discussion Page).

Use bbPress Post Toolbar at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

I’ve now submitted this on trac. Here’s the ticket:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1709

bbPress 2x REQUIRES WordPress as bbPress is now a true WordPress plugin. There is no way at all to run bbPress without WordPress.

You could always install WordPress in a subdirectory ‘community’ and then have the plugin base as forums, so you end up with site/community/forums/forum….

You may then be able to do some crazy fancy url rewrites to remove the community from the url, though that is also an area I am not familiar enough with to help out.

I’m not sure though if you run into other issues with installing WordPress in a subdirectory as I have never tried it before. I do seem to remember reading somewhere that people were having issues with subdirectory installs, though I could be wrong.

Hi there,

I want to add a forum to a existing (non wordpress site), so I want to have http://www.example.com/forum/ which would default to the forum ‘homepage’ (or better still to an actual forum as there would only be one forum as it were).

However when I install it as a plugin, I don’t seem to see how I can get this to work? as it appears that the base ‘/’ is the wordpress site (which I do not want to exist) then you specify a ‘forums base’ so say /forum/… but that would leave at the bear minimum /forum/forum/forum-name/… if that makes sense? assuming I need to have the wordpress running on the /forum/ dir (and cannot disable it(

I’m possibly making a easy problem seem complicated but have no idea of a good solution?

Any ideas appreciated

Hello guys,

I’ve tried to search the forum, but i couldn’t find a similar question. I’m sorry if this is a double post anyway.

At the moment i’m having a website that runs WordPress with a mingle forum. I’m no longer happy with this forum, so my decision was to make use of bbPress and I’m checking this out now.

The problem i run into, is that i cannot have the same slug for pages, as I use for forums. Let’s say the slug i want to use is called ‘gaming’. The permalink displayed here is http://www.domain.com/forums/forum/gaming/. Now i want to add a page to WordPress about gaming. In this case it will rename the slug to gaming-2, as if the slug was already used by another page.

When i enter the URL http://www.domain.com/gaming/ it does redirect me to http://www.domain.com/forums/forum/gaming/. But I want the WordPress page to show up on the first URL and this specific forum only on the later.

I tried to look some further and found out both WP pages as BBP forums were saved in the ‘wp_posts‘ table. Editing the ‘post_name‘ column here solves my problem, but it would be nice if other administrators, without database permissions could get this done too.

I hope I just miss something obvious here, would be great if someone can help me out!

Cheers,

Hedgehog

hi, what version of PHP is that wordpress using?

[Anointed]

@tnwinn

The numbers represent topics/replies for each forum so if it says (3,4) that means there are 3 topics and 4 replies in that forum.

Also, I would suggest maybe upgrading bbPress to the latest nightly vs. as it does not use tables.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

download link is on the bottom of the page.

***BACKUP YOUR SITE***

The nightly beta has been just fine for me and others, but as always backup first.

Your right, your forums look horrible. I’m kinda hoping that the new theme built into the new vs. of bbPress might help you out.

Also, your theme is from a decent company, I’d also go over there and ask them for a little bit of help with the styles. There is nothing conflicting that I see, but for some reason your tables are all evenly spaced which is why the homepage looks so bad. The new theme does not use tables, so it might help.

Neolo7, try setting your permalinks to something other than default. You should at least have %postname%.

To add /forums/ to your menu, use the custom links option. Or create a page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, then add that page to the menu.

There is a glitch that is not bbpress related, but rather it’s custom post types related. If you theme relies on the class “current_page_parent” to highlight the current page, WordPress things any post type should keep your blog page highlighted, if you have one. Here’s a piece of code you can drop in functions.php to help:

// fix menus

function support_menu_item($menu){

global $post;

if (get_post_type($post->ID) == 'forum' || get_post_type($post->ID) == 'topic' || get_post_type($post_id) == 'reply')

{

$menu = str_replace( 'current_page_parent', '', $menu ); // remove all current_page_parent classes

$menu = str_replace( 'menu-item-169', 'menu-item-169 current_page_parent', $menu ); // add the current_page_parent class to the page you want

}

return $menu;

}

add_filter( 'nav_menu_css_class', 'support_menu_item', 0 );

Be sure to change “169” to the id of your menu item.

I just installed fresh latest WordPress + latest bbPress + several plugins (I have deactivated now) + Members plugin (a role manager plugin).

Create new roles of

– Forum Newbie

– Forum Member

The problem is when I trying to manage limit access to specific forum / post’s content it not work.

As sample for Forum A I limit access only to Admin, but others still can get it. Anyone have this problem before? I still trying some possible solutions.

bbPress 2.x doesn’t use the my-templates folder. 2.x uses the same theme your WordPress installation uses.

[phrough]

Is there a function (or other method) available to determine if the current page is a bbpress related page (forum, topic, reply or other)? Something along the lines of the wordpress function is_page()

It would seem that bbPress uses custom post types, and I’ve tried this with no luck:

if(get_post_type() == ‘forum’ OR get_post_type() == ‘topic’ OR get_post_type() == ‘reply’)

Thanks

Hi. I’m trying to install this super awesome forum, but I think installation tutorial too short for me.

OMG1# Plugin activated, where is forum located??? http://mysite.com/forum http://mysite.com/forums – 404! Test forum been created in settings. Wtf?

OMG2# Found only this link working for just created forum http://mysite.com/?forum=test-1 But where is general page? Where is promised installer written in docs?

OMG3# NGINX on server, what next? Guess this is a main problem. And this: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mu-wordpress-bbpress-integration-with-nginx-rewrites#post-11686 seems not what should be because forum in /wp-content/pluging and this

“

location /forums/ {

root /home/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/forums;

index index.php;

“

for what?

At this moment my forum is completely unuseable.

Thank you.

@shooo, that was my solution. “^?” means any one character in a string. I had to repair the database sql file. One bbcode tag after another. Well, It works and looks ok now but it’s a lot of work.

Some bbcode tags had to be replaced with <span>. I don’t know if it is possible to define custom bbcode tags in wordpress. So I had to replace all with “<span class=”size150″>”, etc.

Rest of the tags work fine thanks to “bbPress2 BBCode” plugin.

I’ve got another question,

How to change parent forum for many topics ??? It would take ages to move topics one by one when there are hundreds and thousands of them.

I’ve been battling with wordpress to get bbPress and buddypress to work on them by wordpress bbpress team…

and nothing works as you would expect.

I’m using the BuddyPress Default 1.5.2 theme which gets the most part of BuddyPress working.. them I try to install the site wide forum option (inside the BuddyPress Menu) and nothing works.

I get a messages that your current them doesn’t support the templates needed by bbPress… so I install the BuddyPress Template Pack and do the manual movement of files because it can’t copy them.

I still get the message “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

only problem is that nothing is shown in the forums.

see for yourself at http://www.powertumbling.dk

can anyone “clearly tell me what I should do”… I’m amazed that the people that create wordpress can mess up so much with bbPress and BuddyPress
