Thanks! Clearly, bbPress is officially going to be a plugin for WordPress going forward (but as you note, the code is there to fork for those who still want a standalone version).

I have the same issue – were you able to fix?

I have installed wordpress as localhost and added the bbpress-integration no unable to access the wordpress admin. The site is still working perfectly – any suggestions?

[zaerl]

Thanks. So a pure ftp upload into the plugin folders then ?

Not in the plugin folder, it’s not a plugin. It’s a software just like WordPress, Word or Firefox.

Just follow the instructions: https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

2) When will this next version be released (1.1? 1.03? a wordpress plug-in??)

Never.

Never.

First alpha is coming soon.

I don’t think this is all true. Everything I have read from “official” sources is that the stand-alone version of bbPress will still be available, and looking at trac.bbpress.org, there is still a 1.1 version in development that has only 5-6 tickets remaining. Do you have a source for stating that 1.1 will never be released? That would be helpful.

the bbPress community in a bit of a transition period while it gets rereleased as a WordPress plugin.

But, yes you can put advertising on your site using OpenX – it would require editing your forum’s theme files by placing the code generated in OpenX in the spots you want them to appear.

Any web developer/designer should be able to do quite easily.

1) Can the old anon plug-in be fixed while we all wait for the next version of BBPREss.

I don’t think so.

2) When will this next version be released (1.1? 1.03? a wordpress plug-in??)

Never.

Never.

First alpha is coming soon.

3) Is the current development version stable enough to use live?

Of course, far more stable than 1.0.2.

4) How does a normal person get a version of the development version to install.

WIth an SVN client. The are gazillions.

I’m running v1 so not sure if this works in 0.9 – but you follow the same pattern as WordPress.

In your forum theme’s functions file deregister then register your new scrip.

e.g.

wp_deregister_script('jquery');

wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js', false, '1.4.2', true);

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script for more details

Just to summarize my questions:

2) When will this next version be released (1.1? 1.03? a wordpress plug-in??)

3) Is the current development version stable enough to use live?

4) How does a normal person get a version of the development version to install.

If the answers could be phrased in ways that don’t assume I already know the answers that would be helpful.

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin but a standalone software therefore you cannot install it through the WordPress plugin system.

1. I seem to be having trouble logging in at all in bbpress. I integrated it successfully with WordPress, but I can’t login with my wordpress user name and password. I figured, something must be up, so I registered a new account in bbpress to try it out – password was mailed and everything – and when I went to login, still nothing. The page refreshes but goes nowhere and doesn’t say I’m logged in. Seems like a mod rewrite issue, but I can’t figure out what it is. During the initial install I set the config to clean urls, then used an .htaccess like the following:

# BEGIN BBPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /location_of_install/

Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

# END BBPress

After doing so I kept getting 404’s when clicking on topics, etc (only to find out later I needed to fix my url at the beginning of config). Now everything is working except logins. Any ideas?

besides if you are interested in running a free online shop, what’s more, you can also put your shop on facebook, please sign up at the following site http://www.miiduu.com/facebook-store?source=fb

I heard BBPress will be available as a WordPress plugin and also heard about some arguments.

I think many Bppress users will love a lite wordpress blogging plugin for BBPress too.

What’s your thoughts?

I just obtained the “alpha” version of the Gigya bbPress plugin directly from a developer at Gigya, who emailed it to me. Unfortunately, it’s been in “alpha” for more than a year and they are unwilling to support it or help me get it to work. It’s on my backlog to take a look at this and find out what the problem is.

For what it’s worth, the Gigya wordpress plugin works pretty well, though last time I tried it, it was not pulling Facebook users’ profile pics, which is potentially confusing to the user. Otherwise I was impressed with it.

[3sixty]

thank you zaerl!

Actually, I registered a new account that is able to post to the Plugins forum.

I am guessing this is an authentication issue. I never registered “3sixty” at this site, so I assume bbpress.org is pulling in login information from buddypress.org or wordpress.org. kind of sucks… but I can work around it by posting under a different account name.

Have you tried Simple:Press WordPress forum plugin. It is just like bbPress, but it seamlessly integrates with WordPress, has almost all the features of phpBB or vBulletin, and excellent support.

Dear “Random Guy Says” let me write in in more simple words. bbPress is a free software, free as in freedom and free as in “free beer”. Maybe you don’t know what this means. Now we will see what the GPL states. I will only report the short form cause the entire license is too long.

<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify

MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/&gt;.

This is the base of the entire open-source movement of the last 21 years. You get the software _as it is_. You don’t like the software? The developer stop supporting it? Then modify it, you are free to do it. (addendum: Automattic doesn’t provide any kind of official support for bbPress and when someone has a problem he comes here and ask with the hope that someone will solve the problem and as you clearly can see I’m trying to do my best and I’m not one of the official developers).

If you have a web domain I assume that you have an FTP client as well as phpmyadmin as well as a text editor. You don’t know how to change the default number of forums? Write a couple of lines here and someone will answer you back.

But like I said, these are basic forum elements that are missing – for instance, if you have more than 10 topics, by default your forum is now 2 pages long … And to a degree, I agree with that, where the ability to customize the software’s appearance to suit almost anything is a huge reason why I considered it

You know what? There is a feature, a big one, called “templates”. In a template you can change everything you want and there are gazillion of functions that you can call. Why should a forum software must have an option for changing the number of forum displayed? It’s one of that “set it and forget it” option. Change a line (an operation that can be accomplished in nearly 20 seconds) on the template and enjoy your board.

But as Kawauso said, even if the bbPress team made their own optional plugins supporting these basic features (again e.g. polls), at least we wouldn’t have to worry about them losing support.

Akismet and PollDaddy are two service that have premium account.

The plugin idea is what drives the modern days cause it’s far more simple to add a plugin to a repository than sending a core patch to the official dev teams. Plugins are the key features of all successfull modern software. Some example:

1) WordPress

2) Movable Type

3) The entire Mozilla software line (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc)

4) Joomla!

5) Drupal

5) and many, many other

Modular design is the present and the future and thanks God a lot of bloatware are disappearing.

I don’t say that bbPress is an easy to use software. It’s not an “upload and run” software. It suffers the fact that it’s a pretty young software and you must know a bit of php in order to set up it for being the base of a medium-sized community. That’s true. But I think that an administrator must be bit skilled in php/mySQL/mambo-jumbo. I choosed bbPress cause I was frustrated by phpBB and then I was frustrated by bbPress as well but this is the damnation of the system administrator. I have written 7 plugins in order to accomodate my needs and the needs of the community (zaerl Editor, zaerl Visibility, zaerl Post Permalink and zaerl WordPress 3 fix over all) and then I am happy with my system.

Conclusion: it’s ok if you don’t want to use bbPress. I understand your difficulties with plugin/themes and in general the personalizations at code-level. But I can assure you that once you do that couple of changes you will enjoy a great system.

Have a nice day.
