I am just checking out bbPress as possibility for including on a site I am developing for a social group I belong to. Is it possible to set a forum up so that any posts are moderated and approved before they are published?

WordPress ver: 3.5
bbPres ver: 2.2.3

Oh you of course will need CodeColorer plugin installed …

[Hansaplastique]

Never mind; figured it out (by coincidence).

If anyone is interested, add the following code to your wordpress functions.php;

function t4a_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
	return codecolorer_highlight( $content );
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);

[Hansaplastique]

I’d like to offer visitors the ability to use CodeColorer to syntax highlight their code.

I know that shortcodes are basically disabled for security reasons – which makes sense.

But how can I add a “safe” shortcode to bbpress?
The WP plugin bbPress2 Shortcode Whitelist and bbPress do shortcodes are not working (the latter even being risky at best).

bbPress: 2.2.3
WP: 3.5

I have a pre-installation question regarding the registration and login parts.

If I install the bbpress into my wordpress site – can I separate the registration and login from the actual wordpress registration and log in so the user doesn’t actually have an account on my wordpress site, but rather their account is only contained for the bbpress? I don’t have a blog or offer replies on my pages, so I have no need for people to create some user account on my site for that purpose. I do use a registration/login on my site, but that redirects users somewhere else away from my site.

So, can this be accomplished in bbpress?

Thanks in advance for your reply…

This sounds encouraging. I am running a standalone bbpress forum v1.02, so does it mean that it can simply install WordPress, then install this latest version of bbpress and I can import from there all my existing forums, user datas and threads? Would all the urls correspond with the old ones?

[A.I. Sajib]

Hi,

No, WordPress permalink isn’t affecting bbpress forum posts. It’s taking its slugs from the topic title instead of using post-id.

[Lynq]

Just to clarify, your wordpress permalinks are already set as /post-id/{id} and bbPress is not using this permalink structure? I am not sure if bbPress is setup to be able to use a different permalink structure…

You might be better off asking on the wordpress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/

Hi everyone.

I’m a bit new at this, could anyone can recommend any good appointments plugin for wordpress?  I need it for my Hair salon to get my bookings taken online. I saw one that is called wp-obs (I think), looks pretty advanced. Did anyone have any experience with it? Or tested it? Any feedback  will be appreciated.

bbPress uses WordPress’ database to store its data. Specifically, the wp-posts table.

[midnighz]

Thanks for reply @Johnjamesjacoby

So, now I should try to query it from database.
I’ve found this post, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-a-list-of-recent-topics/

Can I ask you a simple dump question? (because I’m really newbie here and I want to finish my work as soon as posible 🙁 )
Where is bbPress database located? Or how can I access to modify it?

I’ve look around in my phpMyadmin but it has only WordPress database.

Thank you again for help. 🙂

Scenario:
When I upgraded Buddypress and BBpress recently (two weeks ago), members can’t access the site-wide forums properly anymore.
1. Regular members can’t view the first entries in single topic pages anymore.
2. They don’t have access to the hidden forums they could access before.

All in all, only admins can see anything.

While trouble shooting, the ‘missing’ posts and forums show up when I have BuddyPress disabled. Could this be a user privilege conflict? I’ve reset my User Role Editor and deactivated the plugin but it didn’t solve anything. What I’m scared I have probably destroyed the capabilities settings completely. Is there a way to fix this without having to start from scratch? I’m more concerned about the content we’ve built up in more than a year.

Buddypress 1.6.2
BBPress 2.2.3
Wordpress 3.5

Argh. Now the opposite is true–http://museumnation.com/register/ doesn’t work, and the other does. The change happened when I removed “www” from the WP and site URLs in Settings –> General, as described here: http://ma.tt/2006/06/wordpress-no-www/

Any ideas?

[Pippin Williamson]

That’s caused by a conflict with your theme, most likely because the theme is doing bad things to the WordPress queries (to pull in the topics / replies).

What theme is it?

[lesliemb]

OK. . . The plot thickens. I just checked, and the register link is working at http://museumnation.com/register/ — but not when the URL has a www in front of it. http://www.museumnation.com/register/ redirects to the home page. I haven’t seen this problem on my other WordPress sites–the URL with or without WWW sends users to the same place.

So. . . Is there some kind of setting I should be looking for at my webhost to fix this WWW/no WWW issue?

Thanks again.

I’m considering bbpress for one of my most popular community in Bangladesh. I looked at other forum software but bbpress seemed perfect for me as it runs within WordPress. I’m running bbpress as a plugin. Now, my forum is on Bangla language. So, each time a topic is created, the slug becomes unicode character like this: /ফোরাম-টপিক

As you can see, it’s really ugly-looking as well as bad for sharing links. For my blog, I’ve chosen the permalink as /post-id/{id}. I would like to do the same for bbpress (something like PunBB). How can I do so?

[Kasparas]

I’m just confused about future of this great forum platform. As i remember bbpress was plugin of wordpress then it went as standaolone, then plugin again ? Can someone clarify whats happening with bbpres ? Is developmen got faster ?

[midnighz]

Hi Everyone.

I have a simple question but I’ve search for its answer for a day and nothing to solve.

My question is, How can I use “[bbp-single-forum]” and limit its amount of return topics?
I would like to show only 5 recent topics in the page for specific forum. But bbp-single-forum displays all of them.

Or is there any alternative method for my requirement?

Thanks for advance for any help ^^

bbPress 2.0 is a WordPress plugin, which means you must have WordPress installed to use it.
