Hi admins, I was trying to add a plugin on bbpress (the plugin’s name is WangGuard), I logged in with my WordPress.org user/pass but the request form didn’t show up.

I read the forums and saw this happen some time ago, but without a resolution.

Before I gave up I signup for an account on bbpress.org, sign in and the request form was finally displayed.

The problem (I think) is that this form is not showing when you login with your WordPress.org credentials, that was my case tho.

Hope this help!

Hi,

I want to make a page go to my bbpress forum. I have read i can add the slug / permalink but my forum is installed one folder down. if i put a slash in it takes it out and does not work. How can I get round this?

ie my wordpress address is http://www.mywebsite.com

forum is http://www.mywebsite.com/folder/bbpress

if i put the permalink in on the create page bit it changes it to http://www.mywebsite.com/folderbbpress

thanks

Hi!

I’ve just installed bbPress and integrated with existing wordpress (3.1.1). When I login @ WordPress then I’m logged in @ bbPress as well. It works.

But the other way isn’t working properly. When I login @ bbPress and I go to WP it “seems” that I’m logged in, but when I go to dashboard, I got the login form. Is this the expected behavior? Can I change it? (The user I’m trying with is admin both sides)

Thanks!

Thanks, Gynga. Had the same issue but installed the plugin in my wordpress plugin directory and it worked like a charm!

@ricardouk – Gautam’s got it a little backwards. It means that if your existing WordPress theme *DOES NOT* have add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); in its functions.php file (or anywhere else) that bbPress will attempt to fill in the missing template files on its own with a default set of CSS rules.

For example, for themes that do not *explicitly* say “yes I have bbPress template files” bbPress will still attempt to work it out for you. Say you purchased a theme from StudioPress which doesn’t come bundled with any bbPress template files for forums, that’s okay. When you visit a single forum or single topic, bbPress intercepts the request and serves up a default template that looks like a forum or topic.

In other words, do not use add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); unless your custom theme has a “/bbpress” folder that has the necessary files that bbPress expects to be there.

You will need to do some coding and create your own theme.

Hint: Take the header and footer segments of your WordPress theme and place them in the header.php and footer.php segments of the bbPress theme that you selected to wrap your design around the bbPress theme you selected.

me too….my forums don’t work at all. I get this weird code:

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’; $bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’; $bb->uri = ‘http://intranet.kki.org/school/social/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/’; $bb->name = ‘ Forums’; define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 2); ?>

I’ve created a multi-use blog site for our Intranet and would like to have the Forums functing working. Unfortunately, this is what happens when I try to start a forum or put allow forum into a group:

bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install (I did this)

NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.

As you can see, I’ve tried the re-install, which I have to do manually as we have all sorts of blocks on our server. That did not help and I received the following when I try to start a forum:

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’; $bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’; $bb->uri = ‘http://intranet.kki.org/school/social/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/’; $bb->name = ‘ Forums’; define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 2); ?>

I don’t know what this means or why it is happening. Any thoughts on the matter. I’m using Custom Community theme that I’ve done a lot of customization on. WordPress works fine as do all the other BuddyPress plug-in’s I’ve activated.

Thanks, Debra

PS – just joined this group, how do I change my password and add an avitar?

Hi Gautam, i tried it on the 4 themes i previously used with wordpress and it didn’t work.

Added:

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); to the theme functions, will wait for further developments,

The themes i used are minimalist and simplistic without “fancy stuff”, i can’t help with coding but if you need any testing just let me know.

[Gautam Gupta]

Ricardo: You should put that line in your WordPress theme’s functions.php. Note that some themes might still not display it properly.

[Ricardo]

…If you’re not using a theme that actively supports bbPress by setting add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );, bbPress is going to serve up its own default set of templates and styling from whatever is set as the theme compatibility layer…

Does this mean we can use the theme we currently use with wordpress even if its not bbpress friendly? is this similar to when wordpress introduced posthumbnails and we needed to add a line to the functions.php to enable it on themes that weren´t compatible with postthumbnails?

Where do we put the “add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ )” in bbpress?

Thank you for listening to “our” requests on using bbpress with our current themes

[Gautam Gupta]

You also need to install this plugin in WordPress and it would tell you what you need to add in your wp-config.php.

[GYNGA]

Yep, I have installed it if you mean bbPress integration in ‘bbPress > Settings > WordPress Integration’.

However I can’t guarantee at 100% that I changed config files correctly. I would be thankful if you could better explain it or make a screenshot of how config files should look like.

I just went into the integration setting and same the copy from wp.

The page refreshed and then kicked me out.

What do i do now?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

A few last minute gifts are now in the bbPress plugin.

First, shortcodes. Now you can insert forums and topics into blog posts and pages. This is awesome because it will let you insert a river of forums or replies anywhere that the_content(); is used and shortcodes are supported.

Second, theme compatibility. This one is huge, could use some testing, and is potentially a game-changer. If you’re not using a theme that actively supports bbPress by setting add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );, bbPress is going to serve up its own default set of templates and styling from whatever is set as the theme compatibility layer (which defaults to bbp-twentyten.) There is a little more work to be done here, but so far it’s working a treat.

As a plugin developer, theme compatibility with new features is something I’ve wrestled with for a really long time, and recent changes in WordPress core have made this easier. For BuddyPress and now bbPress, this is years in the planning stages, and I’m really happy, excited, and proud that it’s in and loosely working.

[Malfunction]

Awesome JJJ, Guatam and the rest of the contributers! What I’ve seen so far on Guatam’s page looks really good.

Can’t wait to test it when it’s in the WordPress plugin repository.

One question though: It’s been brought up in this topic before, but does the plugin keep track of what has been read and what not at the moment? There was some talk about a seperate plugin too… If the bbpress plugin doesn’t have it, is that seperate plugin available somewhere?

[wildkyo]

Going to be cleaning up the trac tickets for the plugin over this weekend and uploading a 2.0-alpha-1 to the WordPress.org plugin repository in the next few days. This should make downloading, installing, and updating the plugin easier for everyone now that it’s ready for more testing.

Hell, yes!!

The original alphas won’t include Gautam and Nightgunner5’s converter, but I’ll spend some time with it before launch and see about fitting it into core.

Getting close!

The benefit of bbPress is that it is very easy to customized and integrates with WordPress without any problems (Took me about 30 seconds to integrate.) The problem is that there are several very good features missing. And not many decent themes either.

bbPress is stable and will be supported for a long time, but right now the developers are focused on turning bbPress into a plugin for WordPress instead of being a standalone application.
