I’ve tried integrating wordpress with bbpress but the old user data from the bbpress database doesn’t transfer to the new location such that user data doesn’t show up. For instance, the post show up but the usernames aren’t displaying. Is there a way to transfer old user data to the integrated table?

I guess I’ll try a forum plugin for WordPress. Do you happen to know any of the downfalls of doing such? I’ve just heard such great things about bbpress.

Maybe this is relevant:

What you are looking for is pretty common, but there’s not a super easy way to do it without designing a bbPress template to look like your theme.

An alternative is to install a forum plugin for WordPress, instead of bbPress.

Someone else recently asked the same question:

How about a forum plugin for WordPress?

http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simplepress-forum/

http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/ (old and probably dead)

http://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/ (had some security issues, you should read to see if they’ve been taken care of)

I’ve never used any of them, I just know they exist for putting a forum on a WordPress page.

I would like my bbpress forum to show up on my wordpress blog page called “forum”. I also would like the forum to have the same look as my blog (at least the top of it). I have bbpress loaded in a subdirectory of WP called “forum”. I’m new to html coding and would love step by step instructions from anyone who is patient with new students Thanks

C’mon I can’t afford a server so I need some sort of bbpress online thing. To go with my wordpress. Cuz I only trust wordpress projects (auttomatic) things.

Nikolay graciously offered to handle the bbPress pot generation as he does for WordPress. For the past several months, trunk has been automatically upgraded every day.

It seems as though branches and tags has fallen behind. I’ll ask him to see if there’s any bugs anywhere.

The SVN repository is already managed by the WP localization team that do the same fot bbpress, cause I’m the one that havs commit access and i was in hospital i want’s ablet o upload the updated version that will be revised soon and committed to SVN.

on entrans.wordpress-it.it (in futuro entrans.bbpress.it as iI said to Matt during Milan WordCamp there will be a collaborative translation for all the automattic products.

[bootstrapping]

ok. so I can’t have the community as http://www.community.bootstrappingblog.com when the wordpress install is at http://www.bootstrappingblog.com ?

Also, I’m not sure, but would that be what causes it to not let me even login to my wordpress account if I’m already logged into my community account?

Hi guys. I’m developing a custom theme. I need to declare some PHP functions to serve some feature, which also use bbPress hook & filters.

Where is the best place to do this? I know in WordPress we can do this inside functions.php on our theme directory. What about bbPress? Is there similar place?

Thanks.

[kienphong]

i’m looking for function reference page and lists of filters/actions for bbpress and couldn’t find it. For wordpress we have something like this:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

Is there anything like that for bbpress?

Thanks

[yazerty]

That would be a great great thing !! Reaalyy .

ps : with bbpress post answers -> blog post comments

You can just download WordPress and upload the smilies to a new directory. Then just change the plugin to point to the new directory at this line:

#

$wp_smiliesreplace[] = " <img src='/wp-includes/images/smilies/$img' alt='$smiley_masked' class='wp-smiley' /> ";

#

}

Has anyone tried finding a bbPress theme that is similar to the Mandigo WP theme

[pinoyca]

My WordPress and BBPress are fully integrated: same usernames, cookies, userdata, database. Now, my WordPress login page is chock-full of customisations including WP-OpenID. How do I get BBPress to get rid of its login page altogether?

That is, if my member clicks “log in” in “Add a new topic” or to reply to a topic page, WordPress’s login page would appear and, after successful authentication, redirect her back to the BBPress page in which she was.

How did you get your sites to do this?

[jasonistaken]

WP/bbPress session integration only works if the installs are on the same domain/subdomain. This is limitation of cookies, and a good thing. Not a wp/bb issue.

From the docs:

Cookies

Integrating cookies allows your users to log in to either your WordPress blog or your bbPress forums and be effectively logged in to both. This feature requires your WordPress and bbPress installations to exist in the same domain name, or at least in sub-domains of the same domain name.

Take a look at:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

is there a way to migrate all wp posts (made before activating bbsync) to bbpress?

And.. a way to show the comments in bbpress in the wordpress comment template?

[migpilot]

Hi All,

I upgraded our forums to .0.9.0.2 after testing a new theme etc. extensively on a fresh install elsewhere. After all was worked out, I went in to update the existing forum and while it sort of works (for some reason the well tested .9.0.2 theme is not working), the server is returning “PHP has encountered a Stack overflow” whenever you click any topic on the index page. Could it be a server mapping issue?

I also upgraded WordPress on the same DB and no issues at all.

Any ideas?

PS: The upgrade reported no problems)

Is there a list of matching WordPress and bbPress themes anywhere? I’d like like to find a nice starting point for some modification.

[bobbyh]

Will, if you don’t remember what your table prefix is for WordPress, you can look it up in /wp-config.php. Most likely, you didn’t change it and it’s: wp_.

[bilibou]

Youhou I think I found a more simple solution than merging bbpress and wordpress language file:

– Download your bbpress language file (for me fr_FR) then rename it using another name than the language file you use for wordpress (in my case my wordpress language file is fr_FR and I renamed it in ru_RU) then put it inside your /wp-content/languages folder.

– duplicate wp-blog-header.php and rename the copy as wp-blog-header-bb.php

– duplicate wp-config.php and rename the copy wp-config-bb.php

– open wp-blog-header-bb.php and replace the two occurences of wp-config.php by wp-config-bb.php

-open wp-config-bb.php and replace the line define (‘WPLANG’, ‘yourlanguage’);

by define (‘WPLANG’, ‘newnameofyourbbpresslanguagefile’); (in my case I replaced define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’); by define (‘WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’)

-In your bb-config.php replace wp-blog-header.php by wp-blog-header-bb.php

You’re done now each time bbpress loads wordpress will load your bbpress language file instead of the wordpress one.

I hope my explainations were clear.

I’ve searched and searched for this on the forum, but I can’t find anything on it.

I’ve been trying to set up a BBPress system for my WordPress blog. I figured WordPress was easy, so BBpress should have been too. And it was. I installed it all and it worked nicely – I even posted a few things on the forums I created.

The problem came when I tried to integrate my WordPress blog’s users with BBpress. I added in the proper field (I can’t remember what it was) the wp_user file, but it simply crashed the whole thing, and now I can’t see any of the BBPress system or pages – I just get the following message:

“Your user table prefix may only contain letters, numbers and underscores.”

I’ve tried Googling it and seraching on your forums, but I couldn’t find a similar event – so am I a techno nitwit or is this a genuine problem? The URL of the site is: http://mnins.dr-spangle.com/bbpress/.

Cheers, I look forward your reply.
