Hi Lynq
Yes we have a link on our website that takes the user to our forum installed at
http://www.s4ndb0x.com/forums/forum/b3tz-issues/

that link includes parameters to send a userid, password, email, first and last name. If the user is in the wordpress DB then we log them in. (if not we register them using insert_new_user) this all works and the user shows up as being logged in, they can reply to the current topic if they wish

The problem is that when they click on another topic bbpress does not see them as logged in any longer.

thanks
bryan

@Lynq:
Thanks for the tip!
Never saw the “Forum Search” here – nice but not what I really want.

That would mean 6 searches (because we have 6 forums here currently) plus using the additional “Reply Search” if I am in a long (single) topic thread…

Also, both search boxes are only visible at second or third sight, better would be the occasional search box at the top or so…

And if we are already on topic: just implement a proper search in bbPress core, that’s what the users want. Every user that asked me for any bbPress 2.x help wanted a proper forum search. Everyone. Period. So there’s really a need for that. (I’d love to drop my search widget plugin ASAP!!!)

One could find some information, yes, but it’s really ineffective and NOT how it should be as an native implementation.

A proper full text search over the complete forum – and an extra search over the Codex here – or both combined would be of greatest usefulness for all users here I guess!

If it’s not possible just implement a proper Google Custom Search (already on WordPress.org…) — maybe I am doing just that for myself: setting up another Google Custom Search because the current situation does just not satisfy me (and don’t fits to this community here IMHO).

Thanks, Dave 🙂

What version of bbPress do you use?
If you have 2.0.x then Genesis compatibility is included already.

But with newest versions 2.1+ you also need the Genesis Connect plugin called “bbPress Genesis Extend” to be installed which can be downloaded here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

Hope that helps, Dave 🙂

I installed 2.1 and I’m trying to preserve as many customizations (style and pages) from my older version BBpress forum. But this looks like an entirely new scheme? I can see it wants to try to inherit my WordPress style, but I want it to look like the older BBpress style that I created. Is this possible or do I have to recreate the wheel?

Deeply frustrating and terribly little documentation, any help appreciated.

Hey all,

I had a previous post where i logged a user into bbpress by passing credentials from our site in the url. that worked fine but we were not using bbpress embedded in wordpress at the time.

Now we have changed the configuration by setting up a full WP site with bbpress as a plugin.

the goal is still the same: Send a user to our bbpress forum and automatically log them in.

We are using a single forum so i have made changes to

bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\content-single-forum.php

Currently the user is logged in correctly. However when any topic link is pressed the “You must log in….” message is shown. Apparently is_user_logged_in returns false.

Any help on how to make the logged in user persist to more than the first page would be greatly appreciated.

We are using bbpress 2.1.2 and wp 3.4.1

My code for logging in a user is:

<br />
$loginCreds = array();<br />
$loginCreds['user_login'] = $user_login;<br />
$loginCreds['user_password'] = $_GET['password'] ;<br />
$loginCreds['remember'] = true ;<br />
$user = wp_signon( $loginCreds, false );<br />
if ( is_wp_error($user) ){<br />
echo $user-&gt;get_error_message();<br />
echo $_GET['password'] ;<br />
} else {<br />
$user_id = $user-&gt;ID;<br />
wp_set_current_user($user_id);<br />
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, true);<br />
}

I am using wordpress 3.4.1

I installed bbpress and the bbpress menu shortcuts plugin, then deactivated them again. I am now left with a non-functional and only partialy rendered widgets.php

As you can see, the page stops during rendering information about the bbPress:Topic Views widget.

How can I fix this? Can I remove these widgets manually? Should they not have been removed when I deactivated bbpress?

Thanks.

Daripada pusing instal manual, gue pake aja wordpress autoinstaller.
beres, tinggal klik edit content n template plus widget tentunya.

I have just make a fresh install of wordpress 3.4.1 + buddypress 1.6.1 + bbpress 2.1.2 — multisite using subdomains.

Same problem. Same conflict.

“2. Registered users can’t write reply’s or new topics, the following message appears: “You cannot create new topics at this time.”

Same problem for me too (just item nº2), but all my sub-blogs are in subdomains. I tried to activate/deactivate all plugins, and I found the conflict is with BuddyPress.

wordpress 3.4.1 + buddypress 1.6.1 + bbpress 2.1.2 — multisite using subdomains

Hi, please forgive me if I’m being stupid. I’m a bbpress newbie and just set up my first forum.

All is looking good. Except when I log out it takes me to the default wordpress login page. Is this default behaviour?

It’s a commercial site so I don’t want users to see the wordpress login at all if possible. Can I have it redirect to a page when logging out? e.g. back to the page they came from, or the site/forum home page?

Many thanks for any help!

[ERmito]

Pls help pls look on http://www.ermito.eu/spolem/

I’m did update and all layout destroyed

I’m using last version bbpress and wordpress
theme is solutation from paralle

Plllsss help

[fagiano1973]

Hy. I DO NOT want to use child theme! i hate it.

I need to do a little modify to the topic title. Example show it on “bold” style instead of “not bold” style. Yeah i know… when update version i need to repet the css modify or lost it so is better to use child theme… NO THANKS.

SO… on suorce code of my bbpress (plugin) page i found “<a class="bbp-forum-title" ……"
GOOD bbp-forum-title is "my man" … the question is WHERE (DEVIL) I FOUN IT?????? IN which
(cursed) CSS file???

Thank you.

PS. BuddyPress 1.6.1 + WordPress 3.4.1 + bbpress (plugin) 2.1.2

[Garindan]

I can either get the theme/wordpress to allow my page to take precedence, or change the bbpress breadcrumbs ‘root’ to point to my page instead of the bbpress base page.

Any idea’s how I can do that? Many thanks!

a full width forum theme is required, like they have at dropbox, wp.com, wporg, the full width forums at dropbox and the ones at wordpress.com, though support forums at wporg are better but they need to make them look as good as wpcom forums!

i was talking about spam in forums, akismet is a good filter, better than any out there, registration should have recaptcha (google) and post must be filtered using akismet, the spam topics overpower the content that is actually intended for the forums, these spam topics are even indexed by google,
as for akismet it’s the best spam prevention tool out there, but the only problem i am facing is that although akismet has seperated or accumulated the spam comments in usual wordpress blog, they aren’t quarantined for google has access to the spam comments held by akismet, something should be added so that the spam even though held for moderation doesn’t downgrade the quality content!

[Starejosel]

Jezza101, did you have a look at the source code for these two plugins:

an old and unsupported buddypress plugin: BP Unread Posts

WP plugin that fails to activate, presumably because of some conflict with BBPress: WP Unread Comments

Are they any help?
Martin

[jezza101]

I looked into this myself, but I couldn’t find enough documentation to get started. I’m the kind of dev who can get stuff to work if given enough time and decent code examples. Hopefully as more bbpress 2.0 plugins are released there will be more to learn from.

I would agree that this is such a core feature as users surely use this to monitor activity. There is a shortcode which lists out new posts, you can see it on my site here. A list of new posts does go some of the way to help users monitor activity. There is also the RSS feed which is what I use to monitor all posts that are made.

I wouldn’t want to second guess JJJ but from the gist of his posts I get that he is very pro 3rd party involvement. In a number of cases his response has been to say if you want a feature enough then why not get to work on it and add it (obviously easier said than done as most users don’t have the skills!). Does the fact its commercial make a difference? I don’t know, I shouldn’t think so. Commercial WordPress plugins have been around for a while and are widely used.

I’ve inherited a site that used to run bbpress. Apparently it was overrun with spammers in the 2009 timeframe and, even though the previous admin removed bbpress and stopped using it, there are 36,486 rows in the wp_users table, with only 4.290 that actually have roles on the site. Looking over the users with no roles through wp-admin, I can see these IDs are truly bogus.

There does not appear to be consistency of meta_keys in wp_usermeta for users with no roles and users WITH roles on the site. With 1,825 pages of users, scrolling through and deleting them that way would/could take hours so I want to write a SQl statement that will drop all users without roles from the database, just to clean things up.

Has anyone done this before? How can I structure a SQL query that will isolate and remove all IDs and the associated meta data for users with no site role?

Thank you so much, in advance, for any ideas or suggestions that are helpful.

I asked the same question at wordpress.org forum and was directed to ask here. The link from that thread is:

I have bbpress installed and I have configured the settings. I want it to display on my ‘discussion page’ of my wordpress. How do I get it there?

[kendallewis]

I am trying to do the exact same thing. I have installed bbpress but cannot find where it is. I would like to install it on my “discussion page” of my wordpress. Anyone please help or provide direction to an installation tutorial?

http://www.classiccarsandtools.com
Wordpress 3.4.1 / bbPress 2.1.2
We installed bbPress and related plugins. Set up our first forum and topic and in widgets setup bbPress Forums list. When you go to webpage and click on “Forum List” for Forum/Topic we get this message: “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it? It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.”

We followed bbPress Help page installation word for word. Something is not linking???? We would appreciate any suggestions regarding this.
