bbPress isn’t more or less SEO friendly than any other forum software. Considering it uses almost the exact same permalink rewriting code as WordPress. The bbPress plugin for WordPress will offer custom permalink options and I’ll look into allowing for this.

Is this locally? I have the same issue, but on my webhosts it works fine

eg. http://wordpress.elfden.co.uk/user/admin/

oh and relevant trac ticket: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1391

Just tested this with W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache, and both seem to respond really, really well to the bbPress plugin. W3 Total Cache chops off a bunch of queries and increases load times in all the same ways it does for normal WordPress blog posts and pages, and does a great job of keeping up with post_meta changes when new topics and replies happen.

If you want to optimize your bbPress plugin for WordPress installation, I’d recommend starting with either of those.

i also have trouble integrating wordpress with bbpress. I wonder hough if there’s a really comprehensive guide out there on how do it. I mean a lay man’s guide for non programmers like me.

Thanks. I might go back to this after a few days. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get this to work, and I pulled the plug and went with Mingle/Mingle Forum. I need to take a break from the whole bbpress/emember/WP combo before I try it again.

The real trouble only started after I installed the integration plugin in WordPress.

Thanks for your quick response time.

Take Care,

Beth

make sure you have the integration plugin on WordPress side.

now if you can see admin link after logging in, its just a cookie issue else you have lost privileges http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/

Hey,

I have currently converted my IP.Board site over to bbPress but having a bit of a design issue.

I am current looking for a way so that on the index page, only one level of sub forums are shown in a row. So basically like this.

Main Forum

– Sub Forum 1, Sub Forum 2

I have found some examples that shows how to list the sub forums like that but I have played about with it and I haven’t been able just to get it to show just one level of sub forums.

My current index code is as follow. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

Thanks.

Set permissions on copy of plugin in my plugins. Still no effect. I got rid of the other copies as well.

Another issue I saw is that if you log in on the wordpress site, you have to log in again on the bbpress site. I would have thought they would be pointing to the same cookie after integration. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi,

I’m a first time user of bbPress and I downloaded the plug-in and installed through the WordPress platform. Anyway – when I try to activate the plug-in I get this error:

The plugin does not have a valid header.

And it doesn’t show up in my plug-in list on my Dashboard. Can you help me understand if I’m doing something wrong or need some other plug-in’s to accompany the bbPress to use it properly and have it install correctly? By the way – the plug-in does show that it’s installed on the server in the WP-Content folder under plug-in’s but it still doesn’t show up on the Dashboard under the list of plug-in’s for whatever reason.

Thanks,

-Josh

I am pretty much in the same position as the OP but don’t need to go live for a few more months (March-ish). So I think I’m going to wait a bit. After looking at phpBB, vBulletin, and a few other options, I am going with bbPress because of the way it will integrate with WordPress and BuddyPress which I’ve chosen as the basis for the two sites I’m building.

plugins need to be in my-plugins folder under bbPress root with permissions 755 and not under wordpress plugins folder.

and regarding the users, I think you have did something wrong and the users are still there but WP or bbP is not looking at the right place.

Okay, i have been reading this forum for a few hours now and i need somebody to tell me what’s best.

First, i have installed bbPress once before, a few months ago to give it a try and see if it was something for me because i’m a fan of the WordPress system and it’s plugins.

It worked very good i had no problems because i just needed some basic plugins nothing fancy, but it was only a testing install and never got public before i deleted it.

But now i need to get things going and start building for some project.

I have this project where 2 different game-based sites have to match each other and become one, it’s a game-blog and game-forum based site so thats why i was first thinking of a WordPress site along with a bbPress forum. Very simple and deep integrated in each other to keep both working together.

But when i read this support forum it makes me turn around a few times and not knowing what to do best. Should i go for the bbPress (standalone) version or should i wait for the bbPress WordPress plugin.. I don’t know how things are working out on that side but it feels like this plugin take forever,, No i don’t wanna be rude to all people working on it, (only respect) but is there a time-period set for this plugin to be released?

And if there is one, will it become Beta first and after 2 or 3 years a final and stable product?

What will happen to people (forums) using the bbPress standalone version? will there be a settings option so we could update or upgrade our standalone version to the WordPress plugin version without losing the forum-data?

Or should we start all over again with a fresh clean install?

And yes, i’m already thinking of switching to the plugin based bbPress because i think the standalone version will not be supported and looked after when the plugin version goes live.

Also something i would like to know, i’ve also read a few spam topics with people having trouble catching spam bots..

Is this a regular thing? Because it’s bbPress, it attach spam bots like every clean installed WordPress site will have a spam message in 5 days without doing anything on the site..

I don’t mind if there is something to catch those gangsters but if bbPress has some kind of “weak” (spam) based code i will not like the forum idea for my site.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mind to delete a spam message once in a while but if i daily need to delete 25 spam messages while i have running a spam-catch plugin it will not make me very happy..

So could anybody tell me what to do?

I like the bbPress system because it’s “easy” to customize and you’re not working in all the same community themes like you see on most forums..

This is a weird one. I started with bbPress as a stand alone installation. I then did an integration with WordPress. The main effect of that was it wiped out my users. OK, not terrible, there were only a few. However I noticed that no plugins seem to work. I installed Human Test and I can see it in the wordpress plugins folder. It is activated but there is no change to the registration page.

Any idea what might be wrong?
