Try the default theme first before jumping to any conclusions. Login form is there with a register link.

Ok heres the update. First I downloaded from http://vietsonnguyen.com/WPMimic.zip <– there. and second this is what happens:

Note: Registration works fine in the default theme so its no my installation or hosting, I have tested this out.

I click register:

Enter the name: kk

Email: tt@kk

Then his register, I dont get a message saying that your user name and password has been sent to your email.

So I log in as admin and that user is not in the user section

So then I register again:

Enter the name: Adam

Email: My email

I dont get an error for username and I dont get an error for email.

I switch to default themes:

The first login Worked

The second gave me an error for both user name and email.

I have just installed the newest version of bbPress to test out. I’ve installed it as a subdomain under the main domain (WordPress). I want to use bbPress as a stand alone forum…not integrated with WordPress

The default theme does not work and in the appearance panel neither of the two default themes show their screenshots. I’ve checked and rechecked my folder & file permissions which are set to 755. I created a my-templates folder and moved a copy of kakumei to this folder from bb-templates. I’ve checked the permissions on these files, 755, and switched to the new theme/location with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

I followed the directions to a “T” on your website. The install went fine until I wanted to finish everything up. Then it spits out this error message:

I checked both the wp-config and bb-config file and the keys match up perfectly. I do not know what I am doing wrong here!

Okay, I figured out I had to go to my wp-config file where I installed WordPress to find all that stuff. Okay, now I have a new problem. Now that I have bbPress installed, it is giving me this error:

And when I try to go to bb-login it gives me a 404 error, saying that the page was not found. Okay, what did I do wrong?

Hi Zaerl, Thanks for your interest in this topic

I also tried your method, but I’m sorry its little bit different.

its shows content from “whatever-you-want.php” when slug is “this” but the forum structure remain same.

something like

**************Forum Template**************

— Default Header

— Default latest discussion

— Default forums

— Default Footer

— Custom content from whatever-you-want.php

********************************************

But I’m searching, that when forum slug is “this” then i can handle every thing from scratch from “whatever-you-want.php”

like

*************Forum Template***************

— My Custom Header for forum slug “this”

— My Custom latest discussion

— My Custom forums categories

— My Custom style for footer

*******************************************

Keep in mind that this is a rude approach and that everything can be packed in a plugin.

I’m afraid what you are talking about. Is this not a secure method?

Can you please pack this code into a plugin, I’ll really appreciate your kindness. Thanks

Default theme kakumei does print the IP of poster after the post if you are an administrator.

I’m searching a method to customize some forums and Sub-forums separately.

Something like WordPress Template Hierarchy. Which says,

In the case of categories, the hierarchy is fairly simple. For instance, suppose the slug of the Category in question is default and the Category ID is 6. The Template Hierarchy specifies that WordPress will use the first Template file it finds in your current Theme’s directory from the following list:

category-slug.php (Note: available with Version 2.9)

category-ID.php

category.php

archive.php

index.php

That is, if you do not have a category-slug.php (lets say category-news.php), WordPress will check for a category-ID.php (like category-6.php), and so on.

Did bbPress have this function? How can I get this?

Can I make a separate template file for a separate forum?

Thanks

I have followed the procedure in the readme.txt, default avatar is displayed in the post and in profile, but I can not change it when I click the Upload Avatar, so I diverted to the home page forum (translate by google tranaslate O )

Original post updated with progress on various parts.

@luminis – bbPress should follow the language that your WordPress installation is, however there currently aren’t any language packs that I know of. To change the various things in your theme, you’ll want to create a new theme that you can modify safely. The easiest way to do that is to copy the bbp-twentyten folder out of /bbp-themes and into your /wp-content/themes/ folder, rename it, and edit the name of your new theme in style.css so that you don’t get the two confused. Your # 3 can be found in form-bbp_topic.php, and # 4 would require a helper plugin to hook into ‘bbp_is_user_subscribed’ and adjust the default value.

[luminis]

Hello, thanks for this great plugin! Really the one I was looking for after trying every forum software there.

I’ve got some questions if you could help me :

1. How can I add bbpress plugin to this plugin ? Is it possible ?

2. How can I change the language ?

3. When the user isn’t logged in, he will get that message after the forums : “Sorry! You must be logged in to create new topics.”

How can I change this text ? I’d like to tell the user “You can register here” instead.

4. Last, how to make the option “Notify me of follow-ups via email” it checked by default ?

Thanks!

Jumping the gun a little here but…

When/if the default theme for the bbpress plugin is setup, can it be more like here or the wordpress forum and absolutly nothing like the buddypress forum? (please!!)

Issue with your theme.

if you have:

Main forum

Sub forum A

Sum form of A (

going into either of those sub forums you dont see any of the post and topics that belong to those forums, you only see them if you go to the mian forum that shows an over view of all the topics

Switching back to the default theme fixes this.

Sorry for the bump but they took away the edit button >_<

Your registratiuon page does nothing.

Upon registiring for a new account using this theme, I dont get any message and the admin side shows that I do not have a new user, switching back to the default theme this is fixed.

@willabee – This is fixed now. Subforums were still defaulting to 5 instead of adhering to the setting.

@ch8rt – How about removing the plugin entirely, and reinstalling it?

@alanchrishughes – Development has sped up in the past 2 months, and we’ve been able to get a lot more features in as a result.

~The bbpress application was available through my hosting package and so I installed from cpanel. Adding a theme was straightforward too after reading through this forum. However thereafter it got a bit weird.

I was surprised that you cannot upload or link an avatar icon but I found the plugin to do that here. I spent hours trying to follow the seemingly simply directions to get it installed but to no avail. After unzipping it, it looks like this:

<AVATAR-UPLOAD.0.8.3>

<AVATAR-UPLOAD>

bb-avatar-upload.php

identicon.php

readme.txt

unsharpmask.php

<ADDITIONAL-FILES>

avatar-upload.php

<AVATARS>

default.png

<MY-TEMPLATES>

avatar.php

With just seven files to handle, how can it be so complicated to find out where to put these files. The guides I have read seem to conflict.

I found the same thing with the PM plugin, there is not much clear guidance as to where the files actually go.

Has anyone got the avatar pic plugin working and can spare a few minutes to tell me where to put these, I would be grateful. My bbpress structure looks like this:

<BBPRESS>

<BB-ADMIN>

<AVATARS>

default.png

<BB-INCLUDES>

<BB-PLUGINS>

bb-avatar-upload.php

<BB-TEMPLATES>

<TRIPRESS> (<—theme)

<MY-LANGUAGES>

<MY-PLUGINS>

avatar-upload.php

identicon.php

unsharpmask.php

Many thanks to anyone who can take a look at this and instantly can see what I have done wrong.
