Hello

I am in the process of making the switch from phpBB to bbPress (once the importer is out of beta). My two questions: how will the current catalog of bbPress plugins work within the new bbPress 2.0 (WordPress plugin)? How are they installed?

I searched for this info here and could not really find a definite answer.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been resolved somewhere else, I’ve tried searching the forums and haven’t found anything.

My problem is that I’ve installed the bbPress plugin into a clean install of wordpress, and when testing it tried a simple JavaScript insert. Open script tag, alert “Oh Dear” and close the script tag.

When I posted this, it went through. The page alerted the text. Each time the page loads, it runs the JavaScript.

So, my question is: Is there a way of stopping this? I’m pretty new to WordPress and *very* new to bbPress, but have been loving what I’ve been seeing so far. I really don’t want to have to try something else when this solution seems to tick every box but this.

Hi,

On the site I look after I’m having an issue of forum posts coming out blank. If I look at the database rows for the blank posts, they all have <br /> as the post_text.

I have not managed to replicate the issue myself, nor see any pattern as to why it’s happening.

I’m using:

WordPress MU 2.9.2

BuddyPress 1.2.3

BBpress 1.0.2

Any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks!

If you picked the option to overwrite your WP users with your bbPress users, then this is exactly what happened. You’ll want to login with your admin user/pass from your bbPress 1.0 install.

I’ve installed the bbPress plugin and activated it through WordPress 3.1. I’ve created a New Forum and published it. However I can’t see it on my blog site – thruxton.yogaha.com. I then created a page called Forum – but this didn’t show the new bbPress forum page. I can view the bbPress forum page I created – looks ok – but I don’t know how it gets shown in the Menu? Any help please? Thank you.

Just saw a fix for this has been posted here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575#comment:8

I was attempting to import bbPress 2.0 (tools –> import –> bbPress Standalone) and something bad happened. Immediately, I was locked out of WordPress and cannot log back in.

I get “ERROR: Username Invalid.” Basically, it’s saying that my username doesn’t exist anymore.

I think it’s because when the bbPress was migrating the forum usernames, it caused an overwrite in the WP-Admin usernames, because of the cookies and master keys used in bbPress. How do I reinstate my admin username?

I have a backup file and I have myPHP via Hostgator. But I have no idea how to reinstate any of this. Please help me, I’m freaking out!

[aarinjac]

Has anyone figured out how to get back into the admin panel? I tried to import bbPress via the tools menu and immediately got locked out of wordpress. I have no idea how to get back in and I’m freaking out!

Since my coding skills are modest I went ahead and asked Justin Tadlock (you need to be logged in to see his answer (best bucks you’ll ever spend)), to whom I always trust a reflective answer.

But he’s answer only gave me little hope as well. So for now I’ve shelved it.

[enderandrew]

Same here.

[Jaja..]

I think it has something to do with your Permalinks structure of WordPress.

You show the ID numbers and not real slugs. (names and titles of pages and posts)

—

But something else that is eyeing me in this bbPress software is that EDIT PROFILE link at the user pages.

???

That edit-link really should only show up if the user is logged in and at his own profile page. Why would you like to show an Edit profile link to everybody else?

Same as the links that output the Subscribe and Favorite -topics. Not everybody should see what someone else’s Favorite topics are or what topics he-/she has been subscribed too.

(private info)

Profile pages should only show, About me, Topic replies and Topics started.

Everything else should be hidden and only visible to the user of the ID.

When using internet explorer to view own profile or just view other players profiles it loads up a 404 Error, it works perfectly fine in other browsers i have tested it on other machines and Chrome and firefox work 100% but that dam I.E is causing me alot of hassle.

Its set up as a wordpress website with bbpress plugin activated any ideas?

Thanks

Tom

I am afraid that the above reply is not relevant to my question. Please help.

Thanks.

[Anointed]

I just read that WordPress is working on a full blown editor api for the 3.3 release. If that is the case, then I expect to see some new toys really soon thereafter.

For PM you can use WordPress Private Messege. Need some act to using it

Hello,

When i use the importer in wordpress (bbpress 1.1 to bbpress 2.0 plugin) i have the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /class.bpdb.php on line 39

I use bbpress 1.1.

Any idea?

thanks!

[Jaja..]

No Private messages at this point,

In Overall there is not much bbPress (v.2.0) plugins available, and we can only hope WordPress will release a statement on wordpress.org about the release of bbPress 2.0. If they don’t i doubt we will see tons of plugins for bbPress in the first year or two.

Beside all that, this Toolbar plugin works perfect on my forum,

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

And if you Valid the code and delete lots of ‘ugly’ included code it’s even a better product.

But again, out of the box it works great. (many thanks to the author)

My tuned version of this plugin:

* Still working on my Forum and i don’t know if i’ll ever gonna place it public (live) because for me bbPress is still very Glitchy.

[Patrik Berggren]

Ok … new to bbPress and have installed v2.

But … before I can go live with that forum I really need an WYSIWYG-editor, including “smilies”, PM (Private Messages) functionality … otherwize, my forum members will go ballistic

Is there a list of working plugins for bbPress v2? other than “repository” at wordpress.org?

[adams21]

If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol

[adams21]

INSERT INTO bb_forums (forum_id , forum_name, forum_desc, forum_parent, forum_order, topics, posts) VALUES (‘6’, ‘Bike of the Month’, ‘Each month we will showcase a different member’s bike’, ‘5’, ‘8’, ‘0’, ‘0’)

Hi,

I run old bbPress 1.02 standalone version.

How do I export the data to a new bbPress 2.0 plugin version in another domain?

Thanks,

Ravi

Agree on everything.

[Erlend]

Would be interested to know what solutions you come up with for this tntc1978.

[Erlend]

@Justin given the fact that this version of bbPress has practically nothing in common with bbPress 1.x and previous versions, you can’t really argue that 2.0 will work on high traffic sites because previous versions could. Version 1 and 2 also has completely different authors.

That said, the information anointed just shared sounds very promising indeed. While following the development of bbPress 2.0 from the start, I can safely say that performance has been one of the biggest concerns throughout. The developers were honest, and I was prepared to trade off some performance in favor of cleaner, seamless integration with WordPress.

With anointed successfully hosting 300k posts and 40k users on bbPress 2, I’m beyond pleased. Knowing it will only get better from here, the future is looking mighty bright.

[Erlend]

So both bbPress and BuddyPress are now entering a new era of WordPress integration. Both plugins have become much more standardized and seamless.

Now all you need is more eyes and idle hands on the code, documentation and forums. There’s still no word of the renewed bbPress or BuddyPress in the admin panel’s “WordPress Blog” feed. The news that was once in “Other WordPress News” has since been moved far down the list where most people won’t see it.

A mention on wordpress.org could quite realistically make hundreds of thousands of WordPress users aware of these recent monumental developments. I think these plugins represent a crucial part of WordPress’ future; you ought to let the world know what’s happening on these new fronts.
