I have two sites on my wordpress network, http://www.pigsfeetproductions.com and http://www.crashedgamers.com. These two sites share the same database, but are hosted on two different servers. I want their forums to be integrated (ie when I post on pigsfeetproductions’s forums, it will automatically appear on the crashedgamers one and I want the users to be the same too if you wouldn’t mind helping me there too). Can anyone help me set this up? I have a decent understanding of the basics of bbpress, wordpress, and mySQL databases, but I just can’t figure out how to get this to work the way I want it to. All help is great appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

I have been trying to configure the forums and topics for a newly installed instance of wordpress/bbforums (2.02). they worked for a while, and I have been futzing around in the dashboard changing themes and layout etc and now, while all the forums and topics are still showing on the respective admin-page (for preview | edit | trash etc) , when clicked on to look at, I get this:

==================================

The requested URL /forums/topic/oxford-instruments/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

===================================

— The admin panes still thinks they are there. And via Admin panel I can go create new forums and topics. and they will show up on my forums list-widget ont he home page but still result in that same 404. Any help?

Last week I finished the conversion of my Forum from bbpress1.02 to the WordPress BBpress2.0 plugin. The forum is quite big (about 3.000 users, 9.000 topics and 130.000 posts), so I was very happy evering went fine. But now my users are complaining because some functions they had before, now are missing.

Most requests I get are about unread posts:

I would like to mark the uread post for each user, like the “Show Unread Posts” plugin for BBpress 1.02. As far as I know there is no BBpress2.0 plugin.

Does anybody know if there are plans to make such a plugin. Or how to fix this in another way?

[wout_m]

Do you have active the bbpress anti spam plugin?

I found out that, in my case, the problem was caused by that plugin and

I have solved it by turning off the bbpress anti spam plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-antispam/)

I have spent hours looking through new and older posts on related topic and tried different approaches, including using the “Members” and “User Role Editor” plugins. This is related to the WordPress bbPress plugin.

I understand that changing the forum visibility forth and back is risky, so I have avoided that. I have only a limited amount of other plugins installed.

I am not going to list all the issues I have had, but instead hope that someone (if any) who has this up and running can reveal the secret.

Here is what I try to acheive:

Some forums should only be available to some users. My plan is to have two users, “Forum Participant” and “Forum Customer”. “Forum Participant” is default, and some users will manually be upgraded to “Forum Customers”. Some forums should only be visible to “Forum Customers”.

Any comments would be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately I don’t know of a plugin that does that for bbPress 2.x.

I am aware of this one https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/ however it also requires BuddyPress.

[Jared Atchison]

My apologizes – I gave you the wrong link (the the non-plugin version of bbPress).

Here is the correct one:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

Hi all.

Setting up a wordpress site for someone and I’ve decided to use bbpress for a particular section as it seems best fitting for what we need.

I simply want the forums to be for members only, for example a page simply stating ‘you must register blah blah..’ would be fine.

Is there an hidden admin panel for bbpress I’m not seeing? All I am aware of is /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

I felt I’d just post a new thread as most things I came across were > a year old. I read the newer versions work much improved out of the box than before, so hopefully this is pretty easy.

Thanks,

[SethV2]

I have installed BuddyPress on a new WordPress site because I want to replace my current forum site with something like this one. I installed bbpress from the BuddyPress>Components page and installed the site wide forums plugin. It tells me the most current version is installed anyways. When I go to the “forums” page, I simply have an edit link to create it. I can preview a forum I created, but when I try to move up in the hierarchy to the Home>Forums page, again I am just given an edit button link. I believe the “Forums” page is supposed to automatically created from what I have read on here already. I also tried to reset my permalinks, and that didn’t make a difference. I tried resetting my theme to twentyeleven, the default buddypress theme, and a third theme. I’m guessing I’m just missing a simply step because obviously this plugin works for most everyone else.

[katmmad]

Actually, no, it doesn’t — first 4 folders are bb-admin, bb-includes, bb-plugins, and bb-templates, followed by a ton of un-foldered PHP files. It matches where I downloaded it, from this page:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

Did I download the standalone and not the plugin? (To back up a bit: I’m trying to integrate bbPress and Buddypress with an already existing WordPress site.)

[unholyfruitbat]

Okay, last series of questions for a bit.

How do I properly install 2.1 into a developmental BuddyPress site? I want to launch a site with everything, WordPress, Buddypress, and bbPress has to offer. Today I run a site that is based on Vanilla Forums (grumble) and another site that is phpBB.

The reason I ask so much about video and images is because these sites are based around music so with music you have a ton of photos of performances and video. I’d like to make it as easy as possible for users to share these media types in Forum posts since that is today where they classically have shared them.

Does this seem like a sound(pun?) approach or am I missing something?

[katmmad]

OK — I did all that and can see the plugins/bbpress folder in Filezilla. The problem is, I can’t see it in the “plugins” page on WordPress to activate it, and the site is otherwise not recognizing it (pages I had with shortcodes aren’t working).

Sigh. I’m testing it on wavychick.com, which is a dev site for my dev site, if that makes sense.

[Jared Atchison]

All the plugins on bbPress.org are for bbPress 1.0.

The plugins for bbPress 2.x go on WordPress.org.

Eventually the plugins listed here will be archived to help with the confusion

[Jared Atchison]

You can create an account without using your real identity, so I don’t think that should be an issue.

I *think* 2.1 is supposed to be a bit better with catching the spam.

Your main problem, like you said, is allowing guest posts.

Do you have akismet enabled?

Also I would use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/

[Jared Atchison]

This one works great with WordPress, not sure how it plays with bbPress but give it a try.

Hi guys,

I installed the latest version of WordPress, then used the ‘Plugins’ search to install BuddyPress, and then within the /Forums/ section I installed bbPress.

Everything is working wonderfully, except when anyone posts on the forums it doesn’t update their activity feed:

http://buddypress.p-h1.com/community/topic/this-is-my-first-topic/

And here is the admin activity page:

http://buddypress.p-h1.com/members/admin/

Is there anything I can do to fix this? It’s the one remaining piece of functionality I’d like to be working.

[Jared Atchison]

Yep! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

Well, with all the Spam that Forums get as well as allowing Anonymous posters to also post BUT get moderated, I (and many others) are having to use the plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

For my Relationships Forum, obviously people are more inclined to seek help when they’re not obliged to leave their public identities.

So this plugin leaves all Topics and Replies in a Pending and unpublished state.

The issue with Spam posts are these Spammers are also pumping the Tag with URLs or other rubbish.

From a logic point of view, Pending and/or Unpublished Topics/Replies shouldn’t affect anything for a Published Topic.

But they are. I’m seeing Published Topics losing already established Tags from unPublished and Awaiting Moderation Repies which, in my opinion, is a bbPress bug and certainly not a logical workflow.

[Jared Atchison]

2.1 can be downloaded by going to this page https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin and clicking download zip archive at the bottom of the page – is this the one you downloaded from earlier?

Keep in mind that 2.1 is not quite final (although stable from my testing) so it would be wise to do a backup before the upgrade if you are doing it in a production environment.

I’m actually the author of bbPress Genesis Extend. If you are using 2.0.x you actually dont need Genesis Extend (unless you want some of the new features) because bbPress 2.0.x has limited Genesis compatibility built into it.

[Jared Atchison]

You can post videos by use using the URL, just like you do in a WordPress post.

Just enable this in the settings (this is 2.1 only) http://sht.tl/GSr

Right now bbPress doesn’t ship with image upload capabilities, this might be worth a look https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ – I have not personally used it with 2.1 though.

[Jared Atchison]

This is actually something that is set by WordPress (since bbPress uses WordPress users).

You’ll have to do some digging, this might be a starting point

Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.

The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it.

[frank8265]

unzipped foldername is “trunk” which i renamed to bbpress.

Downloaded a zip file from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

and it had a different content then the “trunk” folder.

Uploaded this one and it worked in wordpress.

However, the initial problem from this topic still remains, also in version 2.1
