I have just installed bbPress and this plugin.

I activated the plugin and in the bbPress widget, I placed bbPress search widget.

When I go to the forums page, the bbPress-specific sidebar doesn’t seem to appear – at least I don’t see the bbPress search widget. Also, the CMS/normal sidebar doesn’t seem to be removed – the sidebar seems exactly like the sidebar for the rest of the site.

Finally, I tried selecting single.php as default forum wrapper. But this doesn’t seem to make any difference at all – I still see the *normal* 3-column/2-sidebar page when I visit forums.

Please help!

P.S. Searching on bbpress.org plugin browser does not show this plugin

Oh, I see that in changelog it says phpbb is now supported

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/changelog/

This is important info and should really also be included in description

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/

where it still says “We are working on phpBB”

What does this in the description mean:

“This plugin runs in the background and converts passwords for your users when they log in, so the process is seamless even if your old forum uses different encryption methods.”

Does this mean that I should not uninstall the plugin after the conversion is complete?

Hi,

I’m running bbpress Version 2.0.2. I am thinking about trying out some of the plugins but I am not able to install any of them..

I have created a folder called “my-plugins” in the root of the bbpress folder.

However, I cant see anywhere to actually install the plugins? The documentation says “Click the plugins tab”. However, in WordPress all I can see is “Forums”, “Replies” and “Topics” with no “Plugins” tab?

I am logged in as the admin account (the same account that installed the forums).

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Thanks

We just recently switched over to bbPress, but seem to have one nagging bug I can solve. On our topic freshness the time is incorrect and is showing several hours even when a post was made just a few seconds ago. I double checked the wordpress setup for time, but that is set correctly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a screenshot of a brand new post showing a freshness of 7 hours (which I’m guess is due to us being GMT -7 for Denver, CO.

I’m uploading a new bbpress theme to:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-templates

Now what? I go into my admin panel of the site, and go to themes, and see these errors:

1. Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

2. Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

bbPress (Twenty Ten)

The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.

Where do I go to activate the new theme? Am I putting it in the right place?

Site is running the latest wordpress and the latest bbpress plugin.

Please help.

Thanks and god bless.

I installed WordPress and BuddyPress, but found out that a moderator has no control over approving comments in forums. Our site requires that.

Then I found a plugin that allows me to moderate a forum in bbPress, which gives me hope that I could utilize bbPress for the forums, the plugin for the moderation/approval, and BuddyPress for the membership aspect.

Is this a realistic scenario? Or should I be using WordPress alone to give me the membership aspect and use bbPress with the plugin to create the forums?

I really like the way BuddyPress models the social aspect, but the main thing for me is the moderated and approved traditional “forum” aspect.

If anyone can give me some timely advice, it would be much appreciated.

If you can point me to a more specific problem, a plugin, a specific issue, I’m happy to help.

If there are places where bbPress is not busting the cache properly, I’ll need your help to figure out where and why. bbPress currently relies heavily on WordPress’s API’s to do this for us. bbPress runs very few manual queries of its own, and new or edited posts should be busting the cache automatically.

[John James Jacoby]

I felt the same way at first when I found WordPress, but check out how the functions work and what you can pass into them. Most of them accept a before and after attribute so you can customize the output.

Hey Paul,

I’m using

bbpress 2.1 latest

Wootheme Canvas

Wordpress MU 3.2.1

It works on my local but when live it doesn’t.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.1 will come with support for the WordPress visual editor.

I am currently using this on our site:

http://bplike.wordpress.com/

which is a like button for BuddyPress. But it doesn’t let users like “posts” on the forums, only the “activity” of the user when they post…

drsim, Haven’t used it myself but there is the plugin bbPress Topics for Posts

[White Phoenix]

PowerNick, they are trying Orson’s Forum Converter. It sounds to me that it doesn’t work very well. I need to convert my phpBB3 forums too. But now I am thinking that WordPress and bbPress are not the answer. Even if the converter worked the idea that I would need a converter doesn’t really set well.

Yeah, I think I will ask my host to find something else.

[Anointed]

The only limitation put on bbPress scaling is your own server environment. The more resources you have the more you can run. bbPress is no different than any other software in this regard.

No, topics are not deleted if no new replies. That would definitely require a custom plugin.

This is a question between Buddypress and WordPress, however I decided to post it also here, because I’m not too sure whether I should use BBPress or Buddypress in my setup and maybe someone could give me some advice here.

I’m working at a wordpress project that is structured as follows in a multisite configuration:

1) main site, single language, heavily customized with post types, loads of content, no forum, one webshop

2) secondary site, simpler setup, relatively little content, no forum, no webshop, multilanguage (WPML)

3) third site hosting a forum only and no other content; forum interface will be multilanguage (like site #2)

4) fourth site, reserved to admins only, single language, possibly a forum, to manage content and carry on project management tasks and discussions, etc.

– all sites would be in the same domain (ie http://www.domain.com/ = 1, http://www.domain.com/2, http://www.domain.com/3 etc)

– sites #1, #2, #3 would be seamlessly integrated in the frontend. However content displayed changes, since #1 has very different contents meant for users in the main language, while #3 is just a forum. Site #2 is intended to provide information and basic contents to international users, while the forum would provide a common space for discussion, being the interface translated.

I want a multisite setup so users can keep their logins, cookies, across the sites, yet at the same time make some order to admin the different areas.

Now… it is clear to me that WPML I can take care of the translation part. However, what I’m really clueless about is how to seamlessly integrate the forum part. Since mine is a community-type website, I want to have community features… Buddypress seems to offer a more complete solution for this than bare bbpress. I don’t want users to create their blogs or groups. But it would be nice to have better profile pages, private messaging, set their own display pic, and so on. Features that bbpress lacks or are not natively integrated (I come from a bbpress 1.0 experience and while I love it for the theming possibilities, plugin wise was badly supported).

So what I would really like to know… Does it make sense to run BuddyPress on site #3, activate only modules for member profiles, forums and activity streams?

Will the activity streams report activity of these users on sites #1 and #2? (would that include creation of new articles, posts and content by admins and authors? or just comments?)

Will the users be able to login from site #1 or #2 or #3 and kept logged in without any weirdness happening when navigating through the sites and performing actions?

Can authors from #1 and #2 link their profiles to profiles found in #3 Buddypress rather than using author.php? Same for registered users that post a comment on #1 or #2, can they have a link directing to their Buddypress member profile page/activity stream?

Being site #1 only in one language for both content and interface, what if user jumps from #2 or #3 to #1 and then back to #2 or #3, would his languages preference being persistent?

Thank you!

any help ?

[newpress]

how many categories, forums, topics and posts bbpress wordpress plugin can handle? what are the limitations ?

does it automaticaly delete threads that dont get further comments ? for about a week or so?

Ben, I’ve had more success with the 2.1 development version, available as a zip at the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin.

All I have done is create a bbpress directory within my theme folder and in there copied in any files from pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytenbbpress that I wanted to modify. I have not moved any files out of the plugins directory.

I haven’t had much success with setting the css for bbpress from within my theme. In the end I ended up renaming pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencssbbpress.css to bbpress_master.css and creating a new bbpress.css in the same folder. Within this new file I have my modifications with the following as the first lines

/**

* bbPress specific CSS

*

* @package bbPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/

/* =bbPress Style

---

*/

@import url(“bbpress_master.css”);

I will need to be careful updating bbpress as I will lose my bbpress.css. Until I work out how to have css working through my theme it will do.
