If you install bbPress integrated with WordPress, the installation fails with a message “Your installation failed with some minor errors.”

Looking at the error log, the message was:

“Forum could not be created!”

I dug through the code, and found the problem, in bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-admin.php, in the function bb_new_forum:

// Expects forum_name, forum_desc to be pre-escaped

function bb_new_forum( $args ) {

global $bbdb;

if ( !bb_current_user_can( ‘manage_forums’ ) )

return false;

bb_current_user can ONLY return true if you are currently logged into WordPress as an administrator. I recommend changing the ‘if’ condition to:

if ( !BB_INSTALLING && !bb_current_user_can( ‘manage_forums’ ) )

I got it to work is was the path to the wordpress header i ha wrong with a silly typo, all good now

Isn’t ThemePress really, really old, and for previous versions of the software?

This ThemePress?

I have just started using bbpress and I would like the theme to look like the main wordpress theme ie use the header and footer. I came across themepress but when i installed it i get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /forums/bb-templates/ThemePress/front-page.php on line 1

I am using the latest version of bbpress and wordpress ie wp 3.0.1 and bb 1.0.2

is there a better way to integrate the theme?

Hi there! I am having trouble a problem with my bbpress installation. I have installed bbpress and completed deep integration with wordpress. I have also installed the plugin at http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-wordpress-3-integration/. The forum is live at http://www.mendabrokenheart.net/forum

Unfortunately, it is not possible for people to register. When they enter their information, it returns the message “email is required”.

Can you please point me in the direction of any potential solution?

If you’re looking for the theme that is in use at wordpress.org, I don’t believe that is available anywhere.

You can find some themes here:

You might also be able to use WP Mimic (direct download):

hi

I want to give this theme for bbpress

http://wordpress.org/support/

thank 😡

[mackeyk]

I am having a huge issue with this as well. All I want is for my bbpress roles to match up with what their wordpress role is with s2member. (Deep Int)

I copied that code, but still their role in bbPress never changes, and it’s driving me nuts!

edit: Maybe because I’m trying to update users roles, not create news ones? They are all Level 1 now, but when upgrade to Level 2, I need their role to update in bbpress as well, same when then downgrade.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I just shifted to new webhost recently and found that mybbpress forum is not working as it used to work before, I had also upgraded wordpress to 3.1. The bbpress forum version was 1…

I think something went wrong with the transfer to the new webhost

My bbpress forum and wordpress blog was integrated..

My wp blog – http://vlovers.com

My bbpress forum – http://vlovers.com/forum

Please see my error and hint me in required direction..

Thank you!

Hello again.

Good news. I realised (by reading properly) that I only had to change one thing in this line.

if (!defined('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION')) define('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION', 5);

From define('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION', 5) to define('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION', 1).

And now it does exactly what I want. Let me resume it all.

An user signs up for the first time on my forum. These two plugins take action: Yu-Jie Lin’s Enhanced Registration to guard me from uninterested users, giving them a specific deadline to login; and New User Notification Email to notify me that a new user has signed up.

After that, 3 other plugins come in. First, Moderate new members’ first posts, notifies me that a new user has made his first post. Depending on the type of the post (spam/non-spam), Spam Notification will take action, and let me know what’s happening and so I can take action myself. At the user’s second post and from there onwards, xili New Post Notification (xnpn) steps in, and notifies me whenever a new post is made, but is no longer moderated, and so the users post freely.

These 5 plugins are brilliant, and if someone was to implement them all in bbPress Moderation Suite, as selectable modules, that would truly become a must-have plugin.

Anyway, another thank you to the developers and thank you Kevin as well.

Best regards,

Bob

Hello.

I want to start by thanking the following developers: _ck_, Nightgunner5, Yu-Jie Lin, Olaf Lederer and michelwppi; for their time and effort in bringing about some very useful plugins.

I have a few comments of my own, and in some cases, very important questions as well.

Even though I have very few genuine users on my forum – four to be more precise, I have decided to (try to) offer as good of a service as I can. I have had a couple of spam posts (5.88%), which Akismet handled impeccably so far.

Also, in the last few days I have had about 20-25 new users that only registered, and considering some of their email addresses, have no other intention but to spam. In this case, another useful plugin came to my rescue, Enhanced Registration, which appears to be doing the perfect job. In conjunction with this plugin, I am using New User Notification Email, so I am always notified whenever a new user registers and if in X hours he/she doesn’t login, then their username is removed and my database kept clean. A very good combination in my opinion.

Further on, a common plugin for moderation that I am also using is bbPress Moderation Suite, and I am sure that it would prove its worth when people will be more interested in what I have to say on my forum. Anyway, I think it’s missing a very useful feature, provided (luckily enough) by Moderate new members’ first posts. Now, I have no doubt that this last plugin is working fine with some people, but not with me. What I wanted was to be notified once at an email address of my own choice (other than admin_email), whenever a new member made his first post (or after two). After that, he/she would post unhindered.

So, I (think that I) have identified the section in the plugin that needs attention, where the post count is made:

if(!is_moderator($bb_current_user->ID)) {

$sql = "

SELECT COUNT(*)

FROM $bbdb->posts

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID AND post_status = 0

";

$userpostcount = intval($bbdb->get_var($sql));

}

And where they are marked for moderation (as spam):

if($userpostcount <= POST_NUMBER_MODERATION) {

$sql2 = "

UPDATE $bbdb->posts

SET post_status = 2

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID

";

$markedasspam = $bbdb->get_results($sql2);

}

Now, I wouldn’t know what or where to edit in order to have it do what I want, and that is why I would appreciate it if someone who does know it would assist me. No matter how many times my dummy user called “testing” makes a post, I always get a notification, at the default email address.

I only want to be notified of the first post because I am using xili New Post Notification (xnpn) for the rest of them, at a different email address. What I like about this plugin is that it gives me the possibility to assign an email address of my own choice. It’s true that I would get an email twice when an user would post for the first time (2 plugins), but I can live with that, since they are at different email addresses (the default and my choice).

Thank you,

Bob

I saw Photosmash… nice integration with a WP blog… but how can it be compatible with a community (bbpress forum) ?

Regarding Photosmash questions please consider their community

What is the difference between WP + Buddypress -versus- WP + bbpress ??

In what sense you are asking for??

Generally;

WP + Buddypress

Well Buddypress is all about Social Networking. You can Build a social network for your company, school, sports team or niche community all based on the power and flexibility of WordPress. Its a combination of WPMU and BuddPress plugin. But Now you can do it with WPMS.

WP + bbPress

with this you can create a beautiful website or blog based on WP CMS along this community forums for discussion with bbPress.

WP ( multi-site) + BuddyPress = Social networking site ( like, facebook, hi5, orcut orkut etc.

WP + bbPress = Beautiful website or blog + Community forums.

Thanks,

P.

I use wordpress theme on bluehost domain. I am not sure where I should upload the bbpress folder into. I would like the forum to be one of the pages of the website.

Thank you in advance!

[extremejacob]

I’m not using the same theme, but my theme came with a bunch of place holders for links e.g. “Link A”, “Link B”, … inside the different theme files (in the theme folder) which I could edit manually. That made it easy to find where to fix it.

Look in your theme folder for header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php or similar. Put the link code (a href .. ) in there where appropriate. If you don’t have place holders, you have more work to do.

[college beauty]

Unless you have like a tech blog, very few people know how/will bother getting a gravatar. I’d say 90% of people that register upload an avatar now.

[college beauty]

Yah, I know that. I eventually used the WordPress custom avatar plugin and updated my bbpress theme to call that function from WordPress side of things.

[beles]

You guessed right! A newbe:-) I figured out how to have a link from WP to bb. But not the other way round. Help. Using the Kakumei 1.0 theme.

[pagal]

You can see it on bottom of forums http://wordpress.org/support/

I want to trace these stuff, please guide.

Thanks

Yo Gatuam,

I’m in a real positive mood mate, it’s a glorious day here in Edinburgh (ha, that don’t happen that often) during the largest Arts festival in the world, at a time when we have 8 festivals overlapping in 6 weeks. I am like a pig in the proverbial

And if they were subscribed to feeds, most of them would also have subscribed to BuddyPress feeds

That’s a massive presumption matey

All i’m saying is, hasn’t 20 years of the internet as we know it shown us not to presume about users?

or they would be using WordPress (so they may get to know about it from the dashboard)

If they happened to log in on the 20-24 hours it was on the dashboard

Which gets harder depending on timezones and y’know life. If it was up there for a week, well yeah, I think you’d be closer to being right

All i’m saying is this JJJ: Maybe when you make posts about bbPress on other websites, you could do us a favour and make a little 2 line forum post on this website too. All that’s needed is “hello folks, FYI, link”.

From my point of view, this covers 100% of bbPress users, where are not doing it covers less than 100%. To me, in a really positive sense, taking 1 minute to post “FYI, link, ” and make sure no-one feels lift out is really positive

bbPress users have a history of hearing things 3rd/4th/5th hand, and rarely do those things turn out positive. I believe that JJJ’s plug-in will be positive to countless people, and i’m positive he’s the man for the job. Lets communicate about something positive, in a positive way, to all users

As opposed to posting about software X, on software Y’s website, and hoping people use software Z to read the news about it for the 24 hours it showed it. That’s just comical – haha actually I wonder if there’s already a dilbert comic that covers such convoluted messaging…

Have a great day folks, i’m off to see my 3rd favourite comic ever tonight

[Gautam Gupta]

Kevin, let’s be positive.

Couldn’t you have even posted a blog post here or a forum post here just with a link “hey folks, wanted to make sure you saw this ” ?

If bbPress users don’t use WordPress, then 99.999% they would also not be coming to bbPress blog each day to check for updates. And if they were subscribed to feeds, most of them would also have subscribed to BuddyPress feeds or they would be using WordPress (so they may get to know about it from the dashboard). And even if anyone would have missed, he/she would have got to know about it via other blogs like wpmu (I am talking of the people who like to be up to date with bbPress happenings).
