I have found a couple of bugs, or conflicts with other modules.

Where is the best location to post these?

Here’s what I found so far:

Wordpress 3.2.1

bbPress 2.0 RC3

Twenty Ten Theme

Bug 1) When using WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin, I am able to set the Page Title for forums, topics, and replies. This works for topics/replies, but for forums, the token is displayed instead of the site name.

Settings: %%title%% | %%sitename%%

Output is: My First Forum | %%sitename%%

It should be: My First Forum | My Site Name

Bug 2) When using the Rating-Widget to 5 star ratings of posts/pages/comments, etc, You cannot turn off the ratings stars for forums, forum topics. These should only show up when viewing the individual topics, not in the indexes.

I can’t see a way to turn this off for forums or forum topic indexes.

I can send a screenshot to explain the issue.

Thing about that is you wouldn`t be taking advantage of the lightweight nature of comments, which is ideal for simple reactions but not so much extended discussions. Actually I really like the term ‘reactions’, as that’s where I draw the line between a comment and a conversation. I’ve updated my mockup to reflect that. Here’s the updated image:

You’d also be confined to a single thread of discussion, which is the key limitation this plugin would resolve. Look at the linked TED page and you’ll see pretty much the exact setup I’m looking for.

Another reason to use comments is that if you’re using a P2-like theme you can enable near real-time comments on your article. This is only possible with WP comments, not posts.

Oh, and then there’s the many types of plugins that facilitate unregistered commenting. Besides anonymous comments, there are plugins to enable posting with a Facebook/Twitter/Google account without actually registering to the site, but just to avoid spam.

Finally, I actually think this “comment conversion” approach would be less of a hack than using bbPress in place of comments. It’s a one way conversion, from one standard data format to another. Removing the plugin only removes the conversion method; what’s left is perfectly standard data, ready for export etc.

In the end it comes down to what you need for your website. Check out “use bbPress in place of wordpress comments” if you want to continue discussing the setup you have in mind.

hey there!

I think the current “bbPress Login Widget” is missing two links:

. register

. forgot password

Hopefully there is the “Sidebar login” plugin that comes in rescue, but, wont it be hassle-less to have the two links on the integrated bbPress widget?

file to edit : bbp-core-widgets.php

PS: I opened a trac ticket for this enhancement

Hello,

For what it is worth I have the same issue on this combination:

BBPress 1.0.3

WP: 3.2.1

bbPress Integration Plugin – latest from wordpress plugins repository as of 7/25/2011

Any ideas on where I should start?

The bbAdmin user can post new topics, forums, replies, etc however any other user type does not have an option to add a new topic or reply to existing topic, but they can SEE topics, forums and posts made by the bbPress admin.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

Hello,

I love the fact that this has now been made a WordPress plugin. I’m using WordPress 3.2.1 and Twenty Ten theme, and all is working fine.

The question that I have is that I would like to have the ability to automatically generate a new forum topic each time I make a blog post, and any comments of that blog post become threads (or replies) to the forum topic.

Is this possible with bbpress 2.0?

I know that there was the wordpress-bbpress-synch plugin for bbpress 1.0.x, and from the description of that module, it seemed like it would do exactly what I wanted.

I’ve been trying to solve an integration problem between BBPress and BuddyPress. One or two online forums allude to the problem but don’t provide a satisfactory solution. Any help would be appreciated…..

The Issue:

I’m running both BBPress and BuddyPress on a WordPress 3.1 installation. Everything is working fine (I think) except for my inability to show/publish forum topics (written using the backend interface) in the front-end BuddyPress Forum. I can write and publish the forum topics at the front end, but using the backend allows me to add hyperlinks into the topic post itself – a functionality I want to use.

BBPress Tags and Forums written at the backend show in the front-end without any issues. It’s simply the topics written at the backend that don’t show in the front-end forum…..

Do I need to create some kind of integration loop that allows a synchronisation between the BBPress topic and BuddyPress forum (which essentially seem to be the same thing)? Is there a plugin that I’m missing that can resolve the issue instead…

My apologies if you have answered on this issue before – I’m on a steep learning curve with website development but am responding fast…I just need to find a written solution which is much clearer for me (and probably many others) to understand!!!!

Hello everybody, I’ve just installed WordPress and bbpress plugin. Now i can access to forum via this link http://websiteaddress.com/?post_type=forum. But i want the forum appear when we go to http://websiteaddress.com, how i do that? Please help me with this problem.

Thank so much

[master5o1]

You can create a regular wordpress page and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] so show the forum index, and perhaps [bbp-topic-index] also if you want recent topics to be displayed on the same page.

AHA!

This explains a lot! I had not copied the bbpress theme files into my wordpress theme directory. So now it makes a lot of sense that it would default to the page.php template. (I was editing the bbpress template file while they were still inside the plugins directory.) I’ll try adding the bbpress template files into my current directory. Thanks so much!

@sdp

Check #2 https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

I have no personal experience using shortcodes as I prefer having total control. What I can say is that after adding all the bbpress templates to your own theme folder and adding in the theme support function, then you have absolute total control over how you want everything to appear.

Hey All,

I’d love some direction on this issue. I’m trying to create a section of my forums that is viewable only to certain members. Specifically, I use a plugin called “wishlist member” on my wordpress site (bbpress is the backend forum I’m now creating), and would like certain members to be the only ones able to access the private forums.

I’ve seen these threads here:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-you-make-a-private-forum-visible-to-some-wordpress-classes

And the members plugin they refer to there does not work when I install it (for some reason i can not save new roles on the new role screen).

Also, I’ve used the role-manager plugin to add new roles in bbpress but I can’t seem to be able to integrate that into the “private forums” plugin. Which would be one possible solution if anyobody knows.

Or if anybody knows why the members plugin from the thread above would not be functionaing correctly, that’d be awesome.

Or if anyone has an idea of an easy way to take members from my wordpress front end and make private forums viewable only to specific member roles, that’d be amazing.

Thank you all for any help / contributions!

Noah

If you’ve installed BBPress as a plugin (as I have), I think this is the more or less the intended behavior. There doesn’t seem to be any documentation yet, but I assume it’s supposed to act like other plugins, which should piggy-back on the current theme for their appearance. The problem I’m having is that I can’t figure out how to control this.

Small update: through trial and error I’ve determined that the “page.php” template is what’s getting used for the forum page (no matter what is assigned to the page containing the shortcode). It seems like this is somehow hardcoded into the plugin, which is too bad. It shouldn’t be hard for it to check the assigned template of the page containing the shortcode.

[Nate]

my forum is also inheriting some traits from the default theme, ignoring others, etc. basically a giant mess, as i’m using a custom theme & custom framework.

[emersonthis]

My wp-config.php file is untouched.

There’s one leftover line of code from when I was running the free-standing version of BBPress:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/my/root/directory’ );

But I don’t think this should effect the theme at all.

@Jordi

You are using the bbPress plugin and not the standalone version.

Themes for standalone version aren’t compatible with the plugin one.

What you need is some CSS fixes because the forums are already under your WordPress theme.

[websitedesigningindia]

Makes the third row of options in the admin menu instantly available without extra clicks. Conversion with code and CSS tweaks from WordPress based on original.

[websitedesigningindia]

I was bummed when I first tried to figure this out. The first fix about changing themes worked for one theme, but not the one I needed.

A couple hours searching later and after trying a few things the permission fix did the trick. I had a feeling I might not be the only one having the problem either.

The whole thing alerted me to a setting I needed to change in my FTP program which apparently was transferring files without the correct permissions.

[websitedesigningindia]

can you tell me what changes you have made and what is the content of the config.php exactly

[Snat]

Many thanks for your comment.

I have upgraded to the RC of bbPress 2.0 and converted my sites to use WordPress Network. So far, everything is going good.

Just to be sure: This forum runs the stand-alone version of bbPress NOT the WordPress plugin.
