@palmdoc You can could create a new WordPress page and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to it.

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a few that support bbPress, just add ‘bbPress’ to your search criteria at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

[Stephen Edgar]

@palmdoc I would suggest you ask that same question in their support forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-tools

[Stephen Edgar]

Try all the things you above using the Twenty Eleven theme included with bbPress…

• Change your permalinks and visit http://example.com/forums
• Add a menu item pointing to http://example.com/forums
• Create a new WordPress page and add the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to it

Once you are happy that you have everything working with the Twenty Eleven theme as you expect it should then switch back to your custom theme and if needed contact the theme author asking why the theme doesn’t support xyz…

[Stephen Edgar]

I have tried http://vegansociety.co.il/forums and I see the error but I also see your current menu item ‘forums’ links to here.

I am not sure how the Hebrew in the URL’s works in regards to WordPress & bbPress as I personally have not gone done this path before.

What happens if you create a new WordPress page and add the bbPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

Also apologies, your post had been marked as spam for the past week :/

[Stephen Edgar]

Currently this is not possible but it is a great idea that maybe one of the “bbPress Unread Posts’ plugins could add this functionality.

Thanks dear Stephen. It’s my pleasure to translate such wonderful plugin.

I tried https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/ but it didn’t work. Here’s my post permalink:

Is it possible to link a bbPress category forum to a BuddyPress group?

I want to use the better organisation available with the sitewide forum structure of:
– category
– – subforum
– – subforum
– – subforum
– – etc

I’ve tried creating a category with the same name as a group, adding sub-forums to the category and then run Tools -> Forums -> Repair -> Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships, but it doesn’t link it to the group.

Thank you!!

What is in your wp-config?

In wp-config I’ve set the same language as I’m trying to get bbPress in, nb_NO

The Norwegian WordPress forums doesn’t help much in this problem I’m sorry, some of them had the same problem before but they never came up with a solution. Also, the posts is old, and it seems a lot of directories has changed since then.

[Daniel.Haugen]

Hmmm…. Looking at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

Takes me here …https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Bokm.C3.A5l_.28nb_NO.29

Now I presume we should be using nb_NO thus bbpress-nb_NO.po & bbpress-nb_NO.mo

Try uploading the files names above to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and ensure as per your example above that the bbpress folder is not spelled with a capital P (i.e. NOT bbPress, just bbpress)

Yeah the folder name for bbpress had a capital, I changed it but it made no difference.

Now I presume we should be using `nb_NO` thus `bbpress-nb_NO.po` & `bbpress-nb_NO.mo`

Try uploading the files names above to `/wp-content/languages/bbpress/` and ensure as per your example above that the bbpress folder is not spelled with a capital P (i.e. NOT bbPress, just bbpress)

Hi, I’ve searched around the web for some hours now and hopefully I’ll get the correct answer from you.

I need to translate the plugin bbPress into Norwegian, I’ve fetched the translation from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/nb/default and made sure every string is there with the .po editing software Poedit. I’ve downloaded both .po and .mo file for the Norwegian translation.

Norwegian is activated generally as WordPress language already.

So the problem is the localization and naming of the files, I’ve tried different directories and names:
wp-content/languages/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbPress/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbPress/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-langauge-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-langauge-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-plugin-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-plugin-nb_NO.po and .mo

None of them seems to work, what is the correct localization and naming?

In the next release of bbPress version 2.3 users can link to images by default but to actually upload images you will need to install a plugin to support this. I know of one plugin that does this but there maybe more… https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

[Todd Pettee]

My site is, http://www.forgreenpeas.com.

And here’s my setup…

Wordpress: 3.5.1
Theme: TwentyTwelve
Buddypress: 1.7
bbPress: 2.2.4

I’ve done a clean install of everything. (via FTP)

I’ve created a forum with one topic.
When I go to the forums index page, all I see is…

“Index of /forums”

I’ve tried creating a “Forums” page (with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]), but I always get the same result when I go to that page.

Another thing to note is that the individual forums show up fine, as you can see here…

http://www.forgreenpeas.com/forums/forum/group-forums/

Also, I’ve looked in the database, and was unable to find any tables with the prefix “wp_bb”.

I can’t help but think I’m doing something seriously wrong here.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I have not tried an install/migration of a bbPress 1.1 site that use or nor have I used the ‘bbPress Integration Plugin’

With that plugin are the users stored in the WordPress `wp_users` table or bbPress’ `bb_users` table?

In theory if the users are stored in WordPress’ user table you should not need to import the users and if the users are stored in bbPress’ users table you should import the users.

[Stephen Edgar]

Your best option will be to post the same as above on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

They will setup the correct entries for uploading your Persian translations to GlotPress https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev

Make sure you include the language locale eg. ‘fa’ Persian or ‘fa-af’ Persian (Afghanistan)

[Stephen Edgar]

I am pretty sure there are a couple of WordPress Sitemap plugins that support bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

[limitx3m]

It looks like the issue can be created by:

1. Converting my vbulletin database to bbpress
2. Turning on buddypress
3. Make a new parent forum for the groups. ( Usually called it “The Nation”)
4. Select group forums to be placed in “The Nation” in the buddypress options
5. Create 2 groups.
6. Move/create topic in each group.

You will see each group will share the same topics. If I make a new group, that group will have all the topics of the previous groups.

It’s not duplicating the topics, but rather the group forums just contain every thread from other group forums.

[Robin W]

I have a snitz forum on an access database, which I am trying to import into BBpress. (basically I am taking over an old website and redoing it in wordpress)

Wordpress is 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.2.4
site is http://www.gospbc.co.uk)

I have tailored the example convertor and saved it as smitz.php in the right folder (it is coming up on the list)

q1 where in my my site do I put the .mdb that I have. I have tried the root but the import doesn’t seem to find a database,
q2 in the import what do I answer to
database server -do i leave as localhost or do I need to put a directory path in?
database name : do i put xx.mdb or just xx?
Database user and password – the access database has no username or password – do i just leave these fields blank?

At the moment all I get is :

Conversion Complete

No replies to convert

No tags to convert

No topics to convert

No forum parents to convert

No forums to convert

Starting Conversion

so it can’t be finding the database

Any ideas to progress please?

[Robin W]

This is probably a dumb question, and you’ll point me to a much easier solution!

Also I am still very new to wordpress, so understand a little of css and php’s but not tons. I’ll use thing and thingy a lot as well, so as not to embarrass myself with the wrong technical terms.

I am using bbpress 2.2.4 on WordPress 3.5.1 with a twentyten child theme that does a few minor mods.

Welcome

I am setting up a forum, but don’t want users to see the WordPress toolbar, as this is outside the theme.

But I do want users to be able to change their password and details.

I am using the bbpress login widget in the bbpress sidebar, and by clicking the avatar or their username, users can get to a theme friendly profile page that lets them do just this.

However clicking the avatar is not instinctive, and I’d like (in the absence of a more obvious solution) to add a thingy to the bbpress sidebar that says “amend profile/change password” which when clicked takes you to the same place that clicking the avatar does (or some similar solution)

From searching on the forums, I have found the line within the widget that does this for the avatar (around line 140) which looks like

a href=”” class=”submit user-submit”><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '40' ); ?
But have no idea how to then use this or other code to achieve the goal.

Any good ideas, or is there a very basic solution I’ve missed.

Thanks

Is there any way to get WordPress Jetpack [comments system] and BBPress working together?

[Multimediaex]

Now everything works for me. The only thing I made, I tested some backup plugins for wordpress.

I want to create some form of custom query for displaying topics, such as get one forum, I don’t want to use shortcode, due to it will get most useless information. I mean that just like wordpress code as below:

                         <li><a href=&quot;" title=""></li>

How can I do this?
