I don’t want to have anything to do with all the theme files mixed up with the plugin, there is just way to much going on there that I don’t want in my theme.

Is there anyway to just add two little files to your existing theme, one that lists (paginated) all threads, and then obviously the single thread page? I don’t want it to automatically add any links, breadcrumbs, post date, tags, or anything else. If I don’t add it myself, I don’t want it to be on the page, just the way WordPress itself works.

I just installed the bbpress plugin and it seems to work great. I am working on stylizing it to match my site. How do I get it to use a specific page template for the forums? Can I make the forums pull into a specific page that I create and then set a page template?

Plugin locales are pretty clear in the Codex. This might be of help:

Hi Begis,

Your 1) solution isn’t really an option. The automatic updating mechanism from WordPress will overwrite the whole plugin’s folder. And trading automatic update for manual… well, it’s likely that some time someone will run the automatic by mistake.

The 2) solution sounds good, but I guess it involves quite some work to develop the plugin ?

Does anyone knows if the WordPress team has some guidelines, I’m too new to plugin development to know, and I didn’t seem to find anything.

Is there anybody who can clarify whether there is a method of installing and/or setting up the bbPress plugin to access the blog and forum separately via virtual /blog and /forum subfolders respectively, having physically installed WordPress files in domain.com/wp subfolder?

[marius2z]

Is there any news regarding the method of installing and/or setting up the bbPress plugin to access the blog and forum separately via virtual /blog and /forum subfolders, having physically installed WordPress files in domain.com/wp subfolder?

I realize this is a total noob question, and yet I’m not sure what the answer is.

Basically, I’d like to have a wordpress page, “Forum,” link directly to the bbpress forum.

Apparently, just setting up a page called “forum” doesn’t cut it.

What is the proper protocol?

The forum is set up here:

http://www.lsatwin.net/forum/lsat/score-higher/

Thanks.

I would start by deactivating all other plugins and also activate the default twentyeleven theme, then choosing one of the default url settings, click save. Then go to settings -> forums, and click save.

It sounds like maybe another plugin or a theme setting is interfering.

If it fixes the problem, then activate one plugin at a time to find the problem one..

My best guess…

[Anointed]

To do that you would need to install WordPress in network subdomain multisite setup. Then you would create a new site ‘forum’ and put bbPress onto that site.

There may be other ways, but that is the only way I know how to do it.

I have just installed the BBpress plugin for the latest version of WordPress. I cannot see the reply or post new topic functions. I searched the docs on here and it says I need to do a ‘user role map’ but I cannot find this. I have looked through WP Settings > Forums and this is the BBpress settings but there is nothing for user role map. I cannot see where it would be else where.

Any help is great, thanks!

I’m quite new to the whole localization deal so I’m not quite sure.

Apparently the folder /wp-include/languages/ is for the translation of WordPress itself. So my guess is that /wp-content/languages/ would be the best place to place the translations.

Then its not affected by theme or plugin updates, and yet it’s in wp-content which is the folder that should contain every non-standard WordPress files so that it’s easy to update WordPress itself.

I’m not sure if it is a standard folder, of it’s the plugin qTranslate that created it.

Some other thoughts ?

[CiaranG]

Get this plugin: http://serverpress.com/products/search-bbpress/

(see also https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575 which is where I found it)

[shortstack]

i want to change the URL of my forum.

instead of being mywebsite.com/forum, i’d like it to be forum.mywebsite.com.

i can’t find the URL hard coded into the database, so i’m guessing there is something in the plugin that references home_url but i am not sure where it is set.

can someone please help?

@tmuikku – good place to start translation:

Tried just now.

Didn’t make any difference to the forum page, but the topic page got worse…

When I try to go directly to topic page with the URL, I only get a white page with the following error:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in ../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201



Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in ../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

[Anointed]

have you tried a standard permalink option just to see if it would work? /%postname%/ for example?

I’m not really sure what those errors mean, but that is my best guess, that somehow it doesn’t like the .html?

This will turn off the admin section to all users except super-admins

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/

As to the login widget, there are a number of plugins with custom WordPress login wigets, some of which include redirects. Search the WordPress repository for one that fits your needs.

[Anointed]

This plugin is NOT built for bbpress but could easily be adapted and used with bbPress

[troy222]

This plugin obviously has problems and a lack of support by WordPress. It’s just an entire list of not resolved bugs that have been reported. I’m looking for alternatives.

[troy222]

Does anyone monitor this forum? All I see is ‘not resolved’. I thought this was a wordpress owned project.

Hey you guys, been away for a bit and was excited to see the phpBB conversion being added to the list of converters. Thank you so much Alex and congratulations on the marriage!

I have a problem that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet so I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong. I’m trying to run my conversion and I’m getting the “exceeded 75000 questions” and so I was going to have to keep trying to run it every hour to finally get it all converted.

HOWEVER, I keep getting an odd end result after I get the screen with the error messages that it will then take me to my login page but it’s the 5 minutes wordpress installation option and it asks me for my login info and then it says page not found.

My forum is at http://www.mywebsite/forum

My wordpress site is at http://www.mywebsite/blog

After converstion it will send me to http://www.mywebsite/blog/wp-admin/install.php

If I put in my old info to the wordpress login it will kick out another list of the conversion errors.

I’m not sure if I’m having root directory problems or something going on with the conversion. I’ll keep looking but does anyone know immediately off hand what I’ve got going wrong or what it could be?

It’s weird.

ETA: I just found that the conversion has changed my wp-config file settings for the database name, dbase username and password. It looks like it puts in some generic settings that you guys have. Here’s what my config says…

/** The name of the database for WordPress */

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wrd_kk3k2nhle4’);

/** MySQL database username */

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘tsupport’);

/** MySQL database password */

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘123456’);

Should I try to find a certain converter file and change this default setting within that file? The converter must not have taken my settings that I put into the form provided to do the conversion.

Just installed the Codestyling Localization plugin… it spits out a message: “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.”

Well,.. the author would be bbPress.

any comments?

I’m unable to use this plugin on bbPress but works fine on everything else.

regards,

Peter

I tried what you suggested.

At my forums root http://klymene.net/forums/ you will see 2 forums listed – English and Hindi. You will also see that there is an indication of some content under English.

If you click on English http://klymene.net/forums/forum/english no topics are listed.

On top of page, you will see error message

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

You can go directly to http://klymene.net/forums/topic/test and see the topic which should be under the English forum. Topic actions like Reply are absent though.

On top of page, you will see error

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

P.S. In Settings > Permalinks, the setting is

/%postname%.html
