Hey, I’m trying to install BBPress on my current wordpress site and getting very confused. First of all I tried to install it as a standalone site on 2 servers and after uploading all of the files and trying to access the installer – it would just be a blank page.

So then I installed it as a plugin which worked, but I can’t seem to work out how to display the forum in my current theme. If I switch on TwentyTen, the forum displays properly, however if I turn on my theme nothing displays. I’ve duplicated the files from the bbp-themes/BBP-TwentyTen into my custom theme folder as a ‘child theme’ – which appears to be working (I can see all of the files when I go to appearance / editior), but it still will not show up the forum. I’ve also added the line to functions.php that I should’ve – so there’s no error messages about BBPress not being able to use the custom theme files

Here’s where the main forum should appear: http://ibiza2011.info/forum – it seems to be picking up the navigation, but not displaying the forum. I then created a forum in the admin – http://ibiza2011.info/forum/club-tickets/ but nothing displays their either!!

Please help someone

I am a beginner to wordpress. I wish to implement bbpress to my custom theme http://www.soelvinvestor.dk in the “main page” area.

I have uploaded bbpress folder to my www/ area thru ftp which can be seen here http://www.soelvinvestor.dk/bbpress/ It seems to be working fine, however I cannot log into the “admin area” of bbpress. I have tried to register a new user and it shows up in wordpress administration.

Is there any way I can implement it into the design and not this “stand-alone” version of bbpress?

If you have a page set up as your front page in WordPress Settings->Reading, bbPress will use the title of that page.

If no front page is specified, then bbPress will use the default of ‘Home’, but you change this by modifying your translation. You can do this by including the following code in your functions.php:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_translations', 10, 3 );



function my_translations( $translation, $text, $domain ) {

if( 'Home' == $text )

$translation = $translations->translate( 'My Homepage' );

}

I hope this helps.

Yes, this should be possible with CSS and core WordPress post classes.

Just add something like this to your style.css:

.post.category-html h2 {

padding-left: 32px;

background: url(http://cdn5.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32/file_extension_html.png) no-repeat 0 8px;

}



.post.category-php h2 {

padding-left: 32px;

background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0680/page_white_php.png) no-repeat 0 8px;

}



.post.category-css h2 {

padding-left: 32px;

background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0300/css_valid.png) no-repeat 0 8px;

}

Then put your posts in categories of slug ‘php’,’html’,’css’.

*Note – You should also download the referenced icons/images to your server instead of linking to theirs.

Ok was wondering if a post icon could be added to post. I would like to have icons for php css and html as well as a general wordpress icon and my site logo as an icon.

I have tried several plugins and they don’t seem to work. If this is not doable then no biggie was just thinking it would be nice to dress up the post some.

Anybody want to make a Plugin that lets a moderator or administrator edit posts inline – I guess its possible that Scribu’s inline editor already supports bbPress CPT’s but if not… then I’m open to commissioning this project.

FOR THE LOVE OF WORDPRESS!!!

[sparker3669]

Actually I want to keep the text there as well. Sorry I am really being unclear today. Must because I am tired.

Been reading wordpress stuff and messing with my site since 5am. I know there is not much content there but want to get it visually and feature wise laid out before putting up more content.

I’m interested… I tend to underestimate my abilities and sell my self short. But my post toolbar has been a big confidence boost.

[master5o1]

I made a post toolbar, but its not wysiwyg or tinyMCE. Just buttons to add html and shortcode tags.

This one: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/

I can’t help you with your first question but you can’t use the 1.x plugins for 2.x, they work differently. Just search the WordPress plugin repository for bbpress to find the latest/newest plugins that work with bbpress 2.x

[pimarts]

I don’t know, but what I’m doing now (as a workaround) is using the redirection plugin for WordPress to re-direct the bbpress profiles to the BuddyPress profiles. So I’m only using the BuddyPress profiles at the moment. Works great.

Hello

Apologies if this information is on the forum, but I could not find it.

I need to add a forum to a WordPress 3.2.1 site in the next couple of weeks.

bbPress is a candidate.

What I cannot find out easily is:

* will v2 have file uploads without an additional plugin?

* will there be a simple upgrade path from v1 to v2?

* will there be extra system requirements to run v2 over v1 (as it is a plugin?)

Thanks

[Dan Milward]

No worries guys – we want to get some feedback before we add it to the WordPress Plugin Repo.

Also do you guys know of any developers that might want a part time job working on this with us?

[Gautam Gupta]

Thanks for this!

I’d recommend if you upload this on the WordPress Plugin Repo with the bbPress tag.

[Gautam Gupta]

All plugins in the Plugins section on this site are for bbPress 1.1 or below only. For bbPress 2.0+ plugins, please check here (some might not be bbPress plugins).

[Gautam Gupta]

Please enable pretty permalinks on your site by going to Settings -> Permalinks, that would help. To add a forum link in the menu bar, please check this user guide.

[Gautam Gupta]

When you would install bbPress 2.0 plugin on WordPress, go to WordPress Admin Section -> Tools -> Import -> bbPress importer and follow the onscreen steps.

I have installed bbPress as plugin to WordPress – everything works fine but when I am accessing a topic page the comment form is still visible. However this is not the case when displaying the forum page.

Does anyone know how to disable the comment form on forums topic page?

Hey Guys.

We’ve made a new Support Forums Plugin for bbPress 2. It is something we made for our own website, and want to share with the greater WordPress community, as we improve it on our site we’ll release the changes accordingly. We’re probably going to put it on a git repository at some point too so that should somebody want to contribute they can.

The Support Plugin will allow you to turn all (or some) of your forums into Support Forums. With this Plugin you can implement and display user ranks, you have full control over the user ranking system including how many topics and replies need to be created for the user to go up a rank as well as custom titles relevant to your forums for each rank.

With this Plugin you can also set statuses for your topics and control who can update these, very key to a support forum, your posters will be able to tell what topics are resolved or not resolved right away.

Please let us know what you think on our blog as we spend more time on our own website.

Most likely you don’t have those metaboxes turned on under Screen Options.

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Screen_Options

Top Right corner of the menu’s page, click screen options, check Forums/etc then you should see them for easy addition to menus.

[vladoa]

I found the solution here:

Anyway, thanks for replying.

OK, changeset #3450 only partially fixes this problem. Even with a ‘bbp_user_register_redirect_to’ filter, the redirect_to hidden field still gets stomped by the first if() in bbp_redirect_to_field() — line 741.

I tested this on my multisite install. With that first if() commented out, the redirect_to field is set correctly — but even so, I get redirected to the main site’s wp-signup.php.

ETA: OH! I think we’re seeing two different problems here.

On Jared’s single-site install, I suspect what’s happening is that the page containing the registration shortcode just isn’t doing anything with the checkemail query arg. So, it would be fine to have the user redirected back to that page, as long as the query arg generated the proper “check your email” notice.

What I’m seeing on multisite actually looks like this bug in WP itself.

Thank you for this. I didn’t know I could block by IP at all, any way at all, without a plugin.

Testing “Spam Free WordPress” now. At first glance it is effortless, automatic and accurate. I may soon test it on bbPress.
