wordpress latest
buddypress latest
bbpress latest

I use bbpress for site wide forums and for buddypress group forums. It works fine. Didnt install buddypress’s tweaked version.

I set the number for both topics and replies at 5. But cant navigate to the rest of the topic list and replies.
here it is

Anything is possible, but you’ll currently need to write your own widget to make it happen. You’ll most likely want to strip out any formatting, and limit the length also (similar to a WordPress excerpt.)

If you’re able to make this happen and contribute your changes upstream, it would be a great addition to bbPress core for 2.2.

Hi. It’s been less than a day, on a weekend. I kindly ask that you please dial back your expectations.

That said, I can’t duplicate what you’re experiencing, and it would be a great help to have more information to assist you. What theme are you using? Did you customize it? What plugins are you using? Have you tried disabling them to see if there is a conflict?

Pagination, and adjusting the values, works fine. I’ve set them to ‘5’ at testbp.org so you can see for yourself:

Am I getting any help here?
this is a serious bug in the plugin that should be immediately addressed

Hi all. This evening I was just about to translate some pieces of BBpress into my native Czech lang. I am used to use Codestyling Localization plugin for translating plugins. This same I saw some strange warning. First time in my life.:-) Is here someone able to provide me with more details on following error message regarding bbpress?

Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that. (Codestyling Localization plug error message)

[John James Jacoby]

Jared was actually incorrect. 🙂

bbPress actions are piggy-backed on top of WordPress actions, there’s no condition to them.

1. If you don’t want bbPress to enqueue it’s own CSS, dequeue it, or make sure your theme has /css/bbpress.css in it.
2. bbPress uses admin-ajax.php for a few ajax bits that happen theme-side. They degrade properly, so if you do not want to include the ajax bits, you can safely unhook that too.

Mason and I started to come up with a task list after talking to John at WCNYC. Here’s what we came up with:

Setting up and running your forum
bbPress settings (I have some content for this somewhere – will add it as a draft)
Customizing how bbPress works
Useful plugins that extend bbPress
Moderating and managing your forum

We also had:
WordPress User Roles and bbPress
Getting Started with bbPress

They are complete though.

Since you guys are on the ground supporting bbPress users, what things in the docs would you like to see prioritized?

[Ramiuz]

But the forum is on a different database than my wordpress. So I can´t upgrade 1.02 to 2.1.

I´ve already installed BBpress 2.1 on the other database, on my website. But its completely empty. I need to import the data and users from the other forum.

How?

[newpress]

I set the number of topics and replies that should be shown in a single page as 2, 5, 6 and 10. It doesnt work that way. The rest is paginated and indicated in the page, but not navigatable. I am disappointed. Is there any work around?

[atomnet]

Thanks to all,
with this shortcode i see only my forum/post index and not internal post (image and text).
I try this [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id=name post] but with /%postname%/ dont works.

Thanks again.

[galynsky]

@selvakarthi
when I activate plagin, i can see name of forum (the same table name?), but nothing else.

@netweb
I use wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

wil try to find 1.1, 1.1 -> 2.1.
or rename bb_ tables to anothe prefics, maybe it helps.

[Stephen Edgar]

So…. I created a new clean phpBB install, imported the data into phppBB, installed WordPress & bbPress and imported from phpBB.

Everything looks fine to me…. I wish I could find something, we know there is something wrong!

I’ll have another look in the morning with a fresh par of eyes.

Thanks for persisting and trying to help us find the problem.

Cheers,

Stephen

Currently available shortcodes are list with a brief explanation of each:

[Anonymous User 5853594]

I think you can show the content of a single topic with the [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] shortcode in a post.
Haven’t tried how exactly that would work, but it might be what you’re looking for.

[atomnet]

The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

Yes 🙂

[Lynq]

Do you mean like one of the following?

In the sidebar a list of recent topics on bbPress.
A bbpress post inside the loop of your homepage posts.
The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

All the best, Lynq.

[edinchez]

That’s exactly what I need. Ticket created:

[atomnet]

Hello,
how can I do when I write a message in the forum (bbPress) appearing in the wordpress homepage?

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

• The ‘Recent Replies’ widget shows recent replies.
• The ‘Recent Topics’ widget has the option to show ‘New Topics’, ‘Popular Topics’ or ‘Topics with recent replies’

You can therefore use a combination of the two widgets to achieve what you are after…

This was by design… This can change…

A couple of the widgets have just been updated (see #1903) by @jaredatch and I suppose what you are asking is like how the ‘Recent Topics’ widget has the new/pop/recent options, could the ‘Recent Replies’ widget also include a checkbox to also include ‘Recent Topics with No Replies’?

If that is what you are asking then jump on over and create a new ticket explaining what ‘enhancment’ you would like in the widget/s and we will see how we go for a future release. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

[Stephen Edgar]

No it wasn’t an auto reply to your post.

I presumed what you were looking for is in point 4 of ‘Creating your first forum’ where you can define if a forum is a parent category or straight forum. In the case you were asking you simply create the forum as a forum and not a category.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum

> Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:

> Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.

> Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.

> Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.

> You may, for example, have a Category “Open Source Software” with the > Forums “bbPress” and “WordPress”.

And yes forum wide search is planned for a future release

There are plans to improve bbPress’s moderation features.

You can see whats planned thus far, contribute more ideas or even code here:

Hello,

I’m have a little bit of an issue with both TinyMCE & the Password Strength Indicator in user profile editor. Both of which seem to be invisible – space for them in the CSS has been provided but nothing displays. Are they supposed to be installed separately?

I’m running the latest version of WordPress & bbPress

You could create a page and use the shortcodes to display the forum there. You can then set the page as home, instead of the blog (under Settings > Reading).

From there you’ve got the forum index on the frontpage. You could create other pages to handle registration and other account related things.

You’ll want to read through https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ for the shortcodes.

I found the culprit: it’s bbpress-antispam:
bbpress-antispam 0.7 not compatible to bbpress 2.1

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-antispam

When I deactivate it, it’ll work fine.

Hi,

I seem to have successfully migrated my bbpress database (1.1) into the latest (2.11) wordpress plugin version. The problem is I dont want the wordpress “site” at all – just the forum (as it used to be in its standalone version – accessed via a link from my main site menu).

In addition I can only access the forum at present via the dashboard and ‘view’. It does not appear as a menu command on the wordpress “site” or anywhere else on that page. How does one find the forums at all on that “home” page?

What I am trying to do is recreate what I had before (with custom template too) under this new setup. I would not have moved to Wpress but was forced to as the bbpress 1 forum is getting chinese spammers every day and the registration approval plugin doesnt work at all.

I hope this is clear enough for some good help/advice! I cannot find any good simple steps to convert the one into the other. Do I have to base my entire site on WordPress now (will have to junk wpress if I am forced to do that!) or can I recreate what I had before when bbpress was a standalone forum?

Thanks

Patrick
