well you can have wordpress at the root of your whole site and not just have it in a folder.
if you do that all you would have to do is create a seperate blog page and a static home page.
your blog page would show all your recent posts like it would by default.
if you install bbPress while WordPress is not in a subfolder , by default the forum archive url will be yoursite.com/forums but you could change the forum slug to ‘forum’ or remove the ‘forums’ slug because your url will look like yoursite.com/forum/forum/forum-name instead of the default yoursite.com/forums/forum/forum-name.
Does that work out for you?? or is there a specific reason you want wordpress to be in a blog folder.

do not create duplicate topics , and do not bump a topics especially with just a period.
Because i hate trying to guess what could cause the issue , you can send me login details to a new Admin account so i can overview your site to find what may cause the issue. Im not going to change any setting but just look over everything, if i think something could be causing the issue i will email you what it is. When I’m done overlooking everything i will email you that im done , then you could delete the Admin account you created for me.

When a user activates the plugin, they get three new items on their wp-admin board. Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Then in the tools section we have tools to solve basic issues with the plugin.
Finally in the Settings tab we have the Forums menu again to allow us to control basic settings of the plugin.
The problem with this layout… It’s TOO much and it’s very scattered. I would think the admin structure would be better if we took all the different items and put them under 1 category. Forum or bbPress whichever sounds better I guess.
From there we would have the main landing page which would either be the latest update information or the settings page.
Across the top we would have replies, forums, topics. (in any order I suppose). Then from there we would have the ability to create new or edit past pages in those categories.
Pros
– Much Cleaner administration board
– Easier to find what you are looking for.
Cons
– More clicking to get to certain sections.
Just an idea I had because WordPress administration boards seem to be getting cluttered these days.

However, the auto mentions only work from the text tab (not the visual), is this a bug?
i think the functionality to make the script work for the TinyMCE visual editor is not possible now. You see that we are basically just borrowing the script from BuddyPress to work for bbPress forums , and also that neither bbPress and BuddyPress have the visual editor in their default installations without some plugins or functions added.
It is possible to make it work for TInyMCE though, you would probably have to use some of the code of this auto-complete plugin for TinyMCE.
https://github.com/abrimo/TinyMCE-Autocomplete-Plugin
If you want to develop some custom functionality to make it work for your client ,only thing i can suggest is look over how this plugin is developed and see how they make it work for TinyMCE and of course add on to the script from the BuddyPress plugin.
wordpress.org/plugins/mentionable/
Other than that maybe decide to disable the visual editor for bbPress to make it work fine.
Also, it seems that some users get a notification, but some are not.
If you are talking about the notifications users get when @mentioned , then go to the BuddyPress Support forums for help on this.

Hello
I installed Wpress in a Windows host, with IIS and I am having this message for create new topics and reply existing topics on bbPress Plugin for wordpress.
My wordpress is the 4.2.2 and the bbPress plugin is 2.5.6.
Someone could help-me? I did search for a long time in the web but didnt find solution for this.
Thanks for all!
Hello,
My solution will only work if your SMTP is working fine.
I am using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
with mandrill and my forums never has issues. I have 10k+ active members and no hiccups till now
I have spent days trying to only show the topics created by the user. Using the user-topics-created.php and my own template. All my result shows is “This user has not created any topics.”. What am I missing?
My goal is to create my own wordpress page template to show the user’s created topics without having the entire bbpress profile menu.
Please help!
Hi Robkk,
Thanks you for your response. I tried what you instructed me but that didn’t worked out because I am using a framework, Genesis framework.
I resolved the issues by just installing this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/ and it worked like a charm! 🙂
@sina_mech
if your looking for something custom post a job and maybe a developer would create this functionality for you.
http://jobs.wordpress.net/
you can do new page.
just create a new page in wordpress called new-topic or something.
put the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] in it.
then change my function to this instead.
function rk_new_topic_button() {
echo '<a href="/new-topic/" class="bbp-new-topic-button button btn input[type="button"]" >New Topic</a>';
}
add_action('bbp_template_before_topics_loop','rk_new_topic_button');
if your client is really keen, suggest
http://jobs.wordpress.net/
I want to use post tag in topic tag. I do not want to create all tag again
how to do that?
wordpress v4.1.1
bbpress v2.5.6
bbpress uses custom post types in wordpress.
Every wordpress post gets a unique number, as do edits and other stuff.
so if you posted a forum topic it might get say id #1000, then a wordpress blog would get the next number #1001, the say a reply to a different forum topic orum topic #1002, then if you create a new page that would get #1003, then the first response the actual forum topic would get #1004
You’d need to write a whole new numbering system to make your request work !
@Robkk
thank you for your answer.
I already installed bbpress v2 wordpress plugin on my wordpress blog, I only need to find out how to keep the same url for my forum when I import it.
my blog:
http://www.site.ext/blog/
my forum:
http://www.site.ext/forum/
How do I instruct wordpress, when I use the import tool, to keep the old url for the forum (www.site.ext/forum/ instead of http://www.site.ext/blog/forum/)?
Thank you.
POI
I changed the permalinks in wordpress->dashboard->settting->permalinks to:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%.html
however, it doesn’t impact the forum at all! the link of topics in the forum are still shown as the title of the topic (I’m setting up a Chinese forum, the title of the topics would become some escaped characters).
@mattconway
– I’m not too keen on the narrow width of the forums, Could anyone recommend some themes that work well with bbpress on different platforms to maximise available width of display?
i have a 2014 child theme i created that doesnt have the narrow width, might upload to github then later wordpress theme repository late for download or something.
@process_of_illumination
if you are really using bbpress v1 then it wouldnt work.
i think that shortcode is only for the newer bbpress v2 wordpress plugin
@dmclean
well its tough on my side too since you have a paid theme (the free version doesnt have the show excerpt option) , so i cant just tell you step by step because i have to look at the code of your current theme.
you can create me an admin account ( i need to go to the backend and see your theme files in the wordpress theme editor ) , then send me the login details through my email so i can get this done for you.

@sina_mech
why did you put a functions.php file in your bbpress folder it wouldnt work that way.
just place it in your themes functions.php or use a plugin like this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
PS, i don’t have any knowledge with programming. i hope you can help me as much as you can.
ok, without programming, the best I can offer is the latest activity widget in
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
1.
The following if added to your functions file will add fields, you can alter the coding as needed
//add code for adding first and last name to registration
//1. Add a new form element...
add_action('register_form','myplugin_register_form');
function myplugin_register_form (){
$first_name = ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['first_name']: '';
$last_name = ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['last_name']: '';
?>
<p>
<label for="first_name"><?php _e('First Name as people call you eg Dave','mydomain') ?><br />
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($first_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
</p>
<p>
<label for="last_name"><?php _e('Last Name','mydomain') ?><br />
<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($last_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
</p>
<?php
}
//2. Add validation. In this case, we make sure first_name is required.
add_filter('registration_errors', 'myplugin_registration_errors', 10, 3);
function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {
if ( empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
$errors->add( 'first_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a first name.','mydomain') );
if ( empty( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
$errors->add( 'last_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a last name.','mydomain') );
return $errors;
}
//3. Finally, save our extra registration user meta.
add_action('user_register', 'myplugin_user_register');
function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $_POST['first_name']);
if ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', $_POST['last_name']);
}
Plenty of captcha plugins – just google ‘wordpress plugin captcha’
If you’d like to specify your req’s further, I’ll try to help.
2. no need to change theme, just add the following to your css file
.site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I can’t seem to get my translation to work since updating to 2.5.6.
Wordpress version: 4.1.1
Site language: da_DK
The forum changed to english after updating BBpress. Before that, it worked fine in Danish language.
I’ve tried uploaded bbpress-da_DK.po and bbpress-da_DK.mo til both /wp-content/languages/bbpress and /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages but it still doesn’t work on frontend and backend.
My wp-config.php is set to da_DK.
I’ve also tried to deactivate some of the latest plugins i’ve installed but it doesn’t do it.
Hope someone can help me solve this.
I wanted to upgrade my bbPress 1.2 to the actual one. (I have last WordPress 4.1.1 with new bbPress plugin)
I tried on a WAMP (localhost) installation, and I never got more than 1500 topics imported.
The classic case just hang on “Converting topics (900 – 999)”
And when I look into the apache_error.log, I see that apache crashes and restart alone.
And I tried with apache 2.4.2 and 2.4.9
I tried to click “stop” and again “start” as I read on this forum. But I get hung with “Starting Conversion” and apache restarts also. I just can see that the import process did a small step more by typing the sql query :”select count(*) from wp_bbp_converter_translator”
in this topic, “e-motion” succeeded. He just clean install wordpress, and import…

Am I missing something ?
Hi – I installed bbpress, thinking about adding forum. Changed mind. Deleted plug in, but now I can’t access wordpress admin. Error message upon log in attempts reads “you do not have sufficient permissions…”. If I reinstall/activate bbpress, I can log into my site as normal. Please help, I need the plug in removed. Have a great day and thank you in advance.
