Hi,

I am completely new to wordpress having been given the responsibility of keeping our sports club website up-to-date.

I have a similar problem that is probably really simple.

I have downloaded the new 2.0 plugin today and can create forums and topics etc within the wordpress admin area but have not been able to figure out how to designate a page to the forum.

Stupid question i know but all help would be appreciated….thanks

@john james jacoby – Thank you for a throughout explenation and update.

I am using template integration mode (so no actual templates for the theme I am using, although I am trying to push Woothemes to make child themes for bbPress

I might end up copying the files over and integrating it myself, especially if that is the only (and easiest) way to get all functionality over.

It seems to me that even with the Twentyten theme the first page for the forum does not include things like login, register and search. Which seems a bit odd to me. Is it supposed to be like that?

I am not using WordPress multisite, are there plugins you would recommend looking at for ip-banning and anti-spam features that will work with bbPress? Or can I just forget about that for a while until bbPress is released as a stable version?

Assertion:

The problem with forums is that one must read/browse/scroll thru all the information you don’t want to see… until you then find what you have been looking for.

Question:

Is there a theme for either WordPress or BBPress that would like a Microsoft File System Explorer provide access to BBPress?

Q2:

Is there an inherent limitation in the BBPress database or Theme or Widget Plugin that would disallow a developer from implementing a theme with these types of widgets?

Thanks,

TELESOFT

@jerledb – Login/register are supported via page templates, there is a login widget, and eventually shortcodes too. A register widget is a nice idea but leads way to lost-password and activation widgets, none of which will make it into 2.0.

Spam isn’t really handled yet, since there’s no one spamming forums that don’t use software that isn’t released yet. There is a Trac ticket regarding Akismet integration, but either Akismet will need to be updated or a special version of Akismet to concentrate on post spam (which isn’t really a WordPress issue.)

Regarding IP addresses, there are WordPress plugins to help with this, and WordPress multisite comes with this kind of functionality baked in. Traditionally WordPress doesn’t handle spam at a user level, since registered users are typically already trusted to some regard. We run into this issue a little bit even here at bbpress.org. bbPress does log the IP address of every topic/reply that is created, so a plugin can use that to check against a ban list or something.

@zeldain – Are you using a shortcode to output your forum root? If so, there’s no way for bbPress to know where the root of your forums actually are when you’re *not* viewing that specific page.

Check Admin > Settings > Forums for a better understanding on how breadcrumbs work. You are able to make adjustments to bbPress slugs similar to making changes to your WordPress category and tag slugs, to help you configure your forums the way you need them.

[John James Jacoby]

@tofugu – Your WordPress blog actually works the exact same way. As a site admin, you are provided the ‘unfiltered_html’ capability, which allows you to post any kind of content that you want to. It’s your site, do what you want with it. Normal users have restricted access, so that they can’t enter possibly malicious data into your site.

In the old version of bbPress, I could redirect to a WordPress user profile (or BuddyPress profile) by editing template files and changing profile links to:

<a href="<?php echo get_user_slug( get_post_author_id() ); ?>"><?php post_author( get_post_id() ); ?></a>

Doesn’t seem like this will work with the bbPress plugin. Is there some way I can do this with the new version? Thanks!

@jckbco – If you use bbPress 2.0 (the plugin) and then have WordPress in Multisite mode, then yes you can. Each site in the WordPress install would need bbPress active on it. And that’s it.

The 2.0 is in beta. It’s runs off WordPress, so WordPress would look after all pages.

Does not directly integrate with Buddypress yet, does that mean it will when the new 96% finished Buddypress drops?

Signup/start page:

Are search, login and register supposed to be on the first page of the forum (typically blog.tld/forums/ ? Neither the twentyten or the themes integration seems to give that.

Is there a widget for signup as well as login? Would be a nice way to have people sign up.

Spam?

How is spam handled? I can see no feature for blocking ip-adresses and blacklisting. Is spam handled with the Akismet plug-in I have already installed in my wordpress installation?

Documentation

Where do I find documentation for the plugin? I see it mentioned in the forum here, but have not been able to find the site.

Hi there !

I already installed the latest version of BB and WP and the forum works.

But my questions is, how do include this forum as “page” or “article” in WordPress and the mainmenu ?

Sorry if im just blind, i searched the whole site and can`t find a step by step solution for it.

I tried to include it with WP plugin “include me” wich don`t seem to work.

Can someone tell me please where i can find it or give me a hint ?!

Thank you in advance, BBpress seems to be the forum for wich im searching for a long time. And sorry for english, i now it`s not that good.

i added the wordpress -bb plugin too and enabled it.

Seems everything fine, but still my question is:

how to include the forum into a page or a articel of WP like its here at your site. I don`t check it.

Greetings
