@Robkk
thank you for your answer.
I already installed bbpress v2 wordpress plugin on my wordpress blog, I only need to find out how to keep the same url for my forum when I import it.
my blog:
http://www.site.ext/blog/
my forum:
http://www.site.ext/forum/
How do I instruct wordpress, when I use the import tool, to keep the old url for the forum (www.site.ext/forum/ instead of http://www.site.ext/blog/forum/)?
Thank you.
POI
I changed the permalinks in wordpress->dashboard->settting->permalinks to:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%.html
however, it doesn’t impact the forum at all! the link of topics in the forum are still shown as the title of the topic (I’m setting up a Chinese forum, the title of the topics would become some escaped characters).
@mattconway
– I’m not too keen on the narrow width of the forums, Could anyone recommend some themes that work well with bbpress on different platforms to maximise available width of display?
i have a 2014 child theme i created that doesnt have the narrow width, might upload to github then later wordpress theme repository late for download or something.
@process_of_illumination
if you are really using bbpress v1 then it wouldnt work.
i think that shortcode is only for the newer bbpress v2 wordpress plugin
@dmclean
well its tough on my side too since you have a paid theme (the free version doesnt have the show excerpt option) , so i cant just tell you step by step because i have to look at the code of your current theme.
you can create me an admin account ( i need to go to the backend and see your theme files in the wordpress theme editor ) , then send me the login details through my email so i can get this done for you.

@sina_mech
why did you put a functions.php file in your bbpress folder it wouldnt work that way.
just place it in your themes functions.php or use a plugin like this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
PS, i don’t have any knowledge with programming. i hope you can help me as much as you can.
ok, without programming, the best I can offer is the latest activity widget in

1.
The following if added to your functions file will add fields, you can alter the coding as needed
//add code for adding first and last name to registration
//1. Add a new form element...
add_action('register_form','myplugin_register_form');
function myplugin_register_form (){
$first_name = ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['first_name']: '';
$last_name = ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['last_name']: '';
?>
<p>
<label for="first_name"><?php _e('First Name as people call you eg Dave','mydomain') ?><br />
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($first_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
</p>
<p>
<label for="last_name"><?php _e('Last Name','mydomain') ?><br />
<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($last_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
</p>
<?php
}
//2. Add validation. In this case, we make sure first_name is required.
add_filter('registration_errors', 'myplugin_registration_errors', 10, 3);
function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {
if ( empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
$errors->add( 'first_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a first name.','mydomain') );
if ( empty( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
$errors->add( 'last_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a last name.','mydomain') );
return $errors;
}
//3. Finally, save our extra registration user meta.
add_action('user_register', 'myplugin_user_register');
function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $_POST['first_name']);
if ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', $_POST['last_name']);
}
Plenty of captcha plugins – just google ‘wordpress plugin captcha’
If you’d like to specify your req’s further, I’ll try to help.
2. no need to change theme, just add the following to your css file
.site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I can’t seem to get my translation to work since updating to 2.5.6.
Wordpress version: 4.1.1
Site language: da_DK
The forum changed to english after updating BBpress. Before that, it worked fine in Danish language.
I’ve tried uploaded bbpress-da_DK.po and bbpress-da_DK.mo til both /wp-content/languages/bbpress and /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages but it still doesn’t work on frontend and backend.
My wp-config.php is set to da_DK.
I’ve also tried to deactivate some of the latest plugins i’ve installed but it doesn’t do it.
Hope someone can help me solve this.
I wanted to upgrade my bbPress 1.2 to the actual one. (I have last WordPress 4.1.1 with new bbPress plugin)
I tried on a WAMP (localhost) installation, and I never got more than 1500 topics imported.
The classic case just hang on “Converting topics (900 – 999)”
And when I look into the apache_error.log, I see that apache crashes and restart alone.
And I tried with apache 2.4.2 and 2.4.9
I tried to click “stop” and again “start” as I read on this forum. But I get hung with “Starting Conversion” and apache restarts also. I just can see that the import process did a small step more by typing the sql query :”select count(*) from wp_bbp_converter_translator”
in this topic, “e-motion” succeeded. He just clean install wordpress, and import…

Am I missing something ?
Hi – I installed bbpress, thinking about adding forum. Changed mind. Deleted plug in, but now I can’t access wordpress admin. Error message upon log in attempts reads “you do not have sufficient permissions…”. If I reinstall/activate bbpress, I can log into my site as normal. Please help, I need the plug in removed. Have a great day and thank you in advance.
WordPress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4
Looking to have the forum profile displayed within the “Forum Account” tab.
Additionally will like to modify the link of when a user clicks his own name/avatar to view his profile to lead it to this page.
Thank you.
@martinrice
sorry for the late reply
to disable avatars site-wide
go to the WordPress back-end and then go to settings > discussion
then toward the bottom in the Avatars section uncheck “Show Avatars”
@Robkk
Sorry, but I disagree. It may be that the theme is not hiding the warning like the default wordpress theme, but the error is definitely coming from the bbpress plugin.
The error message does go away when switching to the twenty fourteen wordpress theme.
so the issue is definitely in your theme then.
ill try to search your theme and see if i can find anything.
other than that since i said it looked fine on my end when i tested your theme, maybe you should try uninstalling your theme then re-installing it to see if it fixes the issue.
@davidnsfw
Ok, but users have to login into my site. But I ask if there is any plugin which do not require logging into the site, I do not want to give an access to my dashboard.
you can disable access to your wp-admin section if you want to registered users
you can use this plugin to do that.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-no-show/
Is there a plugin which allows users to upload an avatar just on the forum (for example, before posting)?
No
maybe enforce a user to upload avatar on registration, but thats it.
or if you really want an anonymous forum, you can just hide all the avatars so they wont have to upload anything and you can just not worry about it.
for gravatar they would sign up and just add an avatar .
if the email they signed up with on gravatar is the same as their email they used to sign up on your site then their gravatar will show up on your site.
There is also this plugin to allow people to upload avatars to your site.

@Robkk I’ve followed the basic troubleshooting for general issues. Below are the results.
“I have deactivated all plugins, but I still see the warning. The error message does go away when switching to the twenty fourteen wordpress theme. I am using a free theme called evolve. I have reached out to the theme developers weeks ago, but I haven’t received a response.”
@matthias70
try not just bbPress specific plugins but also any other WordPress plugins.
you and @jturet seem to have issues of late , so we have to see if its another plugin causing the issue a host setup or whatever else to pinpoint the issue.
if it is bbPress i will contact the Devs.
@david13_13
change the forum url to the topic you want to use url with this plugin.
edit that specific forum you want to have one topic , scroll down and add your topic url in the metabox.
