Yes it was, my understanding was that to standardize the system it would be more efficient to continue the core development using just WordPress instead of developing a separate core along side the plugin.

I have a few sites running on WordPress. I love the simplicity and the expandability. However, I have experienced that the more plugins I add, the slower the site becomes. Techies tell me that this is because WordPress loads all the plugins every time a page loads.

My question is that if I install bbpress, will it make my WordPress site slow? Specifically, when I am on WordPress pages (not the bbpress part), will the bbpress code still be loaded?

Additionally, I have found that buddypress has this fatal flaw in that it wipes out the whole WordPress cache (not just buddypress parts) whenever someone logs in. Is this true for bbpress as well? I use a cheap shared host, and my site can not survive without caching as static, so this is critical…

#1 yeah, that’s kinda how it works right now. It’s in need of some love.

#2 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/ removes ability for users to post bbPress content in admin area.

#3 When doing it that way, there is a forum and topic selection dropdown on the right hand side above where you publish the post. The idea being that a user can select the forum and topic right there.

I really think that is more just a quick way for an admin to post a reply, though I can’t see why I would ever use it myself.

#4 probably a bug.

There are also plenty of code snippets online in order to completely remove the admin bar or remove menu’s from the bar if you want. Pretty much just decide what you want to do and check google for the code snippets or plugins.

Yeah, I’m not sure how to get it to work. I just tried it myself, and while I get no errors, I am not able to use shortcodes in my forum topics. Maybe JJ, or someone will jump in and let us know how to properly whitelist shortcodes.

*I know I have my site setup correctly as I can use shortcodes in my other custom post-types. Best guess is that bbPress has some rather strong filtering going on or something. Which btw is not a bad thing, would just help to know what/why it’s happening.

@ebiznet “I tried editing the post to the original bbcode but it doesn’t work. Does bbPress use bbcode at all? I thought it does…”

I suggest install and activate “bbPress2 BBCode” wordpress plugin.

[Satish]

Thanks a lot, but once I install that plugin, my forum goes down

I’m using the plugin version of bbpress.

I’m using WP-Syntax plugin to display some program codes on my blog.

It uses this syntax:

“Syntax highlighting using GeSHi supporting a wide range of popular languages. Wrap code blocks with <pre lang=”LANGUAGE” line=”1″> and where LANGUAGE is a geshi supported language syntax. The line attribute is optional.”

I want to use the same syntax even on my forum.

[Anointed]

It kind of helps to know what plugin you are talking about.

There are a couple of plugins that might help though:

http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/

http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/shortcode-whitelist/

those allow you to use shortcodes in bbPress, and also choose which ones you allow users to use.

*allowing all shortcodes for users is dangerous, asking for trouble.

**I didn’t write the plugins, and don’t know much about them other than I tried them once and they worked. Just trying to help

For the most part, that is about how bbPress looks out of the box. I see a few table issues, but nothing major.

Try downloading the nightly vs. and see if that helps out.

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

The bottom of the page in the center is the link to download.

The new vs. does not use tables and ‘might’ help make it look a little better out of the box.

*keep in mind:

that is the nightly beta vs. although it does seem pretty stable to me.

Under the wp-admin Settings -> Forums

http://screensnapr.com/v/fg2dNB.png

notice the last choice? check that, and if you are running WordPress 3.3 and bbPress 2x, it should show up.

[Anointed]

The bbcode is going to take a special process to convert. I mean what in the world does ‘b:twwr5fiw’ mean anyhow? Notice that when you paste it in here, bbPress is not converting it?

Just like with WordPress where anyone can register anything as a ‘bbcode’ there is no standard between software packages, much less between single sites even. Other than a few standard ones my bbcodes are totally different than yours for example.

In those instances, I can almost guarantee it would require a custom setup. I know AWJunkies was offering this service at one time.

I personally have no idea how it would even work because what are the definitions for the original bbcodes?

My best guess is that AWJunkies would have to go through each persons install one at a time in order to check for bbcode definitions, plugin by plugin, and then create a custom translator.

I did send him a message, but I’m guessing that his office is closed for the holidays as I didn’t hear back from him.

Hi peeps,

I have once before integrated an older release of bbPress 2 which worked fine, i was able to get all the templates to inherit from the activate WordPress theme but in the latest release that inheritance seems to have stopped working for me. Here’s a rundown of what i have done:

1. Copied all the files from within /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to the current theme i have activated
2. I have merged the activate themes functions.php file with the functions.php file from bbp-twentyten and removed the extra 2 occurrences for style.css
3. Re-named all occurrences of Twenty-Ten to %THEME_NAME%
4. Ensured add_theme_support('bbpress') exists at the top of my activate themes functions.php file

I have tried everything i physically can, i can modify the files within my themes bbpress folder but just am unable to get the page-* files to respect my changes. I have more then likely overlooked something but i have spent a good 1-2 hours reading through thread after thread and have come up empty handy.

Thanks in advanced.

I wanted bbPress moderation, so just hacked up an ugly set of filters to mark new topics/replies as pending rather than published.

It may be sufficient for your needs.

This is the HTML code

<a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?topic=where-is-the-capital-of-ca&edit=1">Edit</a>

The validation tool shows the following error:

cannot generate system identifier for general entity “edit”

…ess/?topic=where-is-the-capital-of-ca&edit=1″>Edit</p> <p>(…

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (. The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in “Ampersands in URLs”.

I got the link href by calling bbp_topic_edit_link().

Did I make something wrong?

Please help

I am using bbPress as a plugin for my wordpress site and I can’t figure out how to change the color of text in posts, it is too pale to read.

[davidzweig]

I have a wordpress site ( soviettruck.com ), and would like like to add the bbpress forum plugin. The theme I have (Adventure Photography WordPress Theme 2.0) does not have the necessary template/CCS file for bbpress. This means the forums do not display properly. This needs fixing. Also soviettruck.com/forums gives a ‘Not Found’.. maybe needs some additional config?

Offering $40 by paypal if someone can fix this ASAP, should be pretty quick. Send me an email at davidzweig at hotmail dot com, and I’ll send you the SSH/FTP/Wordpress passwords. Site is hosted by Webfaction.

Once the CSS/template file is fixed, I’ll then use shortcodes to integrate the forum into the rest of the site.

[Satish]

To be precise:

I’ve installed a wp plugin for displaying programming codes with numbering and coloring.

we should write the code inside some tags.

Now I want to use the same tag even in the forum and get the same effect. Is this possible ?

[Anointed]

Maybe if you detail exactly how you set it up we can help

What I was saying is that there is no WordPress header information even.

The normal way to install bbPress is to simply download the plugin and add it to your WordPress plugin folder. Then activate the plugin, configure the forums in the admin and your done.

[Anointed]

Yes, if you are using bbPress 2.1 nightly with WordPress 3.3, you have the ability to turn on the tinymce editor and insert images.

By default only the admin can insert images. There are ways of making it so that anyone can post images if you want to.

[bjj_pl]

I’ve finally managed to import all the posts BUT…

it took so so so long to convert all the data from phpbb3 to wordpress and I had to be very cautious during the process. I had to be careful with my browser window, wordpress session, etc. It reminded me of the times when I had Atari Computer with cassettes. Moreover the restart option didn’t work as described in documents.

I have problem with the “Freshness” of the posts. I cannot correctly synchroniz them. Sometimes it even shows “no topics”. bbPress Recount gives funny effects.

Hi,

how can I get these translations to have effect? I have set WordPress language to Romanian and uploaded the bbpress-ro_RO.po and bbpress-ro_RO.mo files to wp-content/languages/ and wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/ but it didn’t affect anything.

I’m looking forward to create translations for another language but I’m first testing how it works.

[frooyo]

@Annointed

The above works, I just didn’t refresh.

Problem: When I create a page, it’s displaying the forum topics as I like; however, it’s also displaying at the bottom of the WordPress Page a place to “Leave a Reply”.

It looks like the page thinks it’s a blog post and wants to allow the person to leave a comment.

How do I set the page to now allow wordpress comments on the page?

[frooyo]

I found this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

But when I paste the following on a newly created WordPress page, nothing is displayed:

[bbp-single-forum id=1]

I’d go over to wordpress and ask there
