I had to shut down my neighborhood forum due to nasty spam content mostly from Russia. How can I prevent it. I do not have problems in WordPress, just the BBpress forum area.

Erm? bbVideo works fine for the stand alone bbPress version (I have it working on my site).

If it’s bbPress 2.0, my post toolbar plugin handles Youtube videos fine.

[madhavdutta]

Please let me know the process.

[pimarts]

Pretty excited to see if you can find another topic to paste that link into.

[John James Jacoby]

Let us know how it works.

In the future I’ll look into adhering to the WordPress Discussion settings for restricting comments too.

I prefer use SMF now after many try for using bbPress. Cause bbP not answer a webmaster needs. SMF is simple and useful for wordpress. If bbP get updates and be useful i swear I use it because I translated many of it plugins to use but this bbP have many problems! SMF in same version is better than this.

Plugins for bbPress (2.x) work just like other WordPress plugins.

So install them like any other WordPress plugin, you don’t need to make a directory in the bbpress directory and put em there or anything.

Make sure they’re compatible with bbPress 2.x though.

Hi, I’m new to bbPress and have a question:

I’ve installed ppBress 2-0-beta 3 in WordPress 3.2.1

I made a directory /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-plugins and put in two plugins:

BBcode-lite.php and allow-images.php

Where can i activate them? They don’t show up in the plugin list /wp-admin/plugins.php and i don’t see a list with the forum-settings. And the plugins don’t seen to be working.

What am i missing here?

Once your forum gets some traffic, shouldn’t there be something in some of the forums? I think if you plan on not having any content in the forums, what’s the point of the forum.

Why don’t you put the forum as the front page, and then create an additional page which is a menu item on your site for the blog.

In the blog page, use the wordpress template tag for the blog index.

<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=postbypost&limit=10&format=custom’); ?>

Hi

I don’t use wordpress i want to use bbpress

I want to convert script wordpress to bbpress ( move all topic and post and user from the wordpress to bbpress )

Please

[symetrikdesign]

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:

https://i.imgur.com/y09EW.png

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?

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!
