Hello,

I am trying to use this bbpress for this theme…

Atahualpa

But it doesnt seem to work… Can anyone help out?

[justinwhall]

I’d like a forum to be visible on the forum page ONLY to a specific role. Seems that the forum roles override any sort of pcapabilityies I assign to the WordPress roles. This seems like new behavior?

So in short, How do I create a forum for a specific WP or BBP role? It would be great if this forum didn’t show up for other users, but at the ver least they wouldn’t be able to access it.

I created a main “category” type, parent a “forum” type to it and when user post to the “forum” type, it lead to a “topic” type page.

I use widget logic plugin to show widget to the sidebar. I have a issue here, using is_single(), the widget show on both wordpress single post page and “topic” type single page, what logic should i use to show only on the “topic” type single page?

Another issue, secondly, i use Really simple Facebook Twitter share buttons plugin to show share button on my wordpress single post page, but the share button also appear in the parent “forum” type each individual “forum” type. Any solution?

Thirdly, how to move topic? possible in the frontend? cause my option only have | Edit | Close | Stick (to front) | Merge | Trash | Spam for the first post

Hello,
I just installed bbPress and am developing locally but when I create a new Topic from the front-end I get the following error:
ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
I’m not trying to do anything fancy (no sticky, no tags, no email subscription) and I checked using Twenty Eleven and had the same problem. I also updated the permalinks.

WordPress 3.5.1.
bbPress 2.3.2

I’d be most grateful if someone could shed some light on this.

I downloaded and installed bbPress. Put together a forum with three topics, added it to an existing page on my WordPress driven site and all was great! Half a dozen people registered, a couple of discussions began…it worked great. Now, all of a sudden with no warning, the forum is gone. If you click the page to view it, you see the path for the forum at the top, but nothing else: no topics, no area to add a topic or comment, nada. I’ve tried everything I can think of short of deleting the forum and starting over from scratch. Any thoughts? P.S. I can still see the forum and all topics/posts from the dashboard. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2. My site is henderson.lpnc.org.
Thanks for any help or advice!

The ‘dev’ branch of Spanish is at 100% translated so give that a try.

Great, thanks for the follow up.

Take a look at this plugin which supports bbPress Crayon Syntax Highlighter and this blog post Syntax highlighting: LaTeX.

Hi there,

I am running a wordpress spanish community and i would like to install my BBpress in Spanish, i have read it was possible in bbpress 2.0 but i can´t do it in 2.3, anyone has translated it?

Cheers.

This is the first I’ve seen of someone preferring the stand alone version. One of the major benefits of the plugin version is that it can be installed on existing WP sites without any crazy (and really janky) integration. It just works.

There is still a complete plugin architecture: the WordPress one.

Can you give specifics on what you find confusing about the plugin version?

Sporting club covering various sports.
Forum set up for each sport.

When a viewer wants to subscribe to a forum topic they register at the forum (Username and email).
An email is generated (from WordPress) that is causing confusion.
the email sender shows as WordPress and the link in the email is to:

1/ How do I alter the ‘from’ so it appears to come from the forum rather than WordPress?
2/ how do I alter the link (above) so that the user doesn’t have to negotiate through unknown territory? Why not offer a link to the forum rather than WordPress?
The forum has been up for 3 months and the only posters are the 2 owners. It’s just too difficult for the average user to get to the forum.

For a group of users I would like to create a set of usernames and passwords.
I would be happy if someone could either give advice on how to do this or generate the set for me (make an offer)
Thanks

Wordpress 3.5.1
Buddypress 1.7.1
BBpress 2.3.2
Members (Plugin) 0.2.2

Dear All,

I am trying to setup BBpress forum for my Buddypress website. I think I have all the latest version of each software as you can see above. The website is mostly member only, including the forum. This forum is set as a global forum, I don’t have forum for BP Group, in fact I turn off BP Group functionality all together as we don’t need it.
The goal is to set the forum so only registered and logged-in member can view and interact with it.

My main problem right now is as follows:

1. I logged-in as an Administrator and created a Category (or Forum) and I set it as Private.
2. I checked if this user can see the forum, and it does.
3. I logged out and logged in as one of the member, which has WP Role as an Editor.
4. I went to the Forum and expecting that the user can see the Category that the admin had created. But instead I got ‘Oh bother! No forums were found here!’ message.
5. Then I went to check the capabilities of the Editor role using the Members plugin, and confirm that Editor has read_private_forums checked.
6. I went to the Users management page (having relogin again as Admin) and change the member’s Forum Role to Keymaster.
7. Went back in as the member, still can’t see the category. Admittedly this was a long shot because I read somewhere that Forum Role doesn’t have any effect these days.
8. Then I went to the Users management page (having relogin again as Admin) and change the member’s Role to Administrator.
9. Went back in as the member, and now I can see the Category.

Obviously this in not the behaviour that I expected. I searched high and low on the net, and didn’t seem to find an answer for this.

Anybody has any idea what might causing this? I’ve been on this problem for almost a week now, and still haven’t found a solution. Asking in this forum is my last resort, so any pointer would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Same for me, only longer story.

Installed bbPress, made all forums, and just before releasing to public suddenly magic began. Instead of forums – 404 pages for all users, even Admin couldn’t post new topics. First I blamed all localization and customization stuff I done to bbpress, but now I deleted WordPress database, created new one, made fresh install of WP 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2 – everything wrong from beginning –
1. Created Forum nr 1
2. On creating Forum/Category nr 2 – Can’t select parent forum (‘No forums avilable’) – but they ARE in forum list, just nobody can’t see them even bbPress itself 🙁

I tried many latex plugins but they work with normal posts and pages. I want to use latex code in topics and forums.

Hi all, we absolutely love the Ideas section of WordPress.org, an example of an idea is at http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic/multiple-languages-blogging-a-core-solution

This appears to be a bbPress post with a “Rate This” widget and a “Status” category.

We’ve plugged in about a dozen different possible plugins trying to recreate this functionality, and keep hitting a brick wall. Does anyone or has anyone successfully created something similar?

[jrman]

I don’t know if this is possible, but I was wondering if there was some way to automatically “close” or “hide” threads/posts after a certain period of time with no activity. I currently have about 8 pages of threads/topics on my site, sorted by freshness, and some of the older ones haven’t had a new comment/post in over a month.

Instead of manually closing or trashing all of the older posts, I would love it if there was a piece of code that would automatically do that.

*I found a way to do this by age of the topic, but not by freshness.

Hi, I am using bbPress as part of a wordpress site. I would like to show “recent activity” in a sidebar widget without using too much screen space. In other words a combination of the “recent topics” and “recent replies” widgets, e.g. as below (1 topic, 1 reply, but able to set number would be good also)
“Recent Forum Activity”
Latest Topic…
Latest Reply…

Is that possible with shortcodes? else maybe a way to combine the output of the two current widgets?
Thanks

I remember how impressed I was the first time I saw a bbpress standalone installation. It was so clean and easy to navigate–things weren’t buried in places I couldn’t find them, the threads were clean and the UI was simple. I couldn’t resist using it on my next project.

After installing it, I got into the admin interface and it was just like using wordpress! It integrated with Akismet, there was a plugin architecture, it was fantastic! I was sold.

Then.. I started to run into a few issues here and there… a couple of the plugins didn’t work, and I couldn’t find support for them.. I couldn’t find a way to integrate a good wysiwyg editor.. and then bugs started to show up in the admin panel.

“No problem” I thought.. “I’ll just upgrade”.

Over to the bbpress.org page, and now it’s a wordpress plugin.. “OK.. guess I’ll give that a try”. after half an hour of working with it, I realized it wasn’t for me, and now I see that the standalone version appears to be permanently mothballed.

That is unacceptable. That standalone software was awesome… we can’t let it die.

Let’s bring it back!!

I am raising my voice for resurrecting the bbpress standalone software. Who here will support this effort? I’m a developer.. that’s one.. who else is going to help me?

1. can more than 110 000 users be imported

This should not be a problem.

2. My website runs a specific version of phpbb SEO for allowing permalinks for every forum – will this be imported ? (so that there is not a lot of redirect)

No, these will NOT be imported and you will need to manually set your permalinks and make some redirects using .htaccess

3. My website stores custom profile fields for every user (more than just ICQ, but also custom ones). How could I have the same kind of functionalities using bbpress ?

Currently when importing from phpBB we are importing and storing the default phpBB user fields as outlined here. You could modify the import script to include any of your custom user profile fields so they also get stored in wp_usermeta.

After that you would need to find a WordPress plugin that supports extended user profile fields to utilize that data. I am not sure of any specific plugin that can really do that out of the box with bbPress at the moment but at least you ‘would’ have all of your users advanced profile data stored.

4. What about performance – will it be better than phpbb. I know bbpress is very powerful for small forums, but I have no idea regarding huge ones. Can wp caching plugins work for bbpress as well ?

There are some large sites running bbPress and I would suggest you setup a test site to see how it works for yourself personally.

As to caching it appears that ‘WP Super Cache’and ‘W3 Total Cache’ do not work well with bbPress as discussed in this topic though there is ‘Lite Cache’ which appears to work with bbPress as per this topic.

5. Is the entire UI translated in French – it doesn’t seem to me, but maybe I’m wrong.

The current status of the French translation is at 11% translated with 879 strings untranslated though 734 of those strings have been translated and are waiting for the fr_FR translation validator to validate the translations.

6. Can I use any plugins writter for wp for bbpress ?

I am not sure what you mean for this question

Any more questions please ask away…
