Would you consider making that as a Plugin?

I was talking to a security specialist about this type of thing and he said that a lot of other forum solutions offer this in a comparable fashion. I’m not going to use anything else though… I’m a WordPress guy

main nav highlight, category, parent and posts highlight, sidebars,multiple blog

I have the following queries when using the wordpress to create my website

1) while I open my website deepakraj.in, the About Main nav button should highlight to blue. I tried to change the CSS as said in some of the forums but it does not work

But, when I click on About main nav button it highlights(blue color) because I have set the css for the

.current-menu-item {background-color:#4f94cd;}

2) When I click on the Recent blogs in the about page, it should re-direct to blog(main nav) page and highlight in

blue. Or even if i click on the blogs present in the blog.php, the blog main nav button should enable to blue.

3) Same with the category and posts. While click on the category and posts the specific category should highlight.

4) i like to create different sidebars for all the pages. how do I do it?

5) Can i have multiple blogs? I like to have blog, photos and drawings, videos pages in blog format. is it possible.

You could always use WordPress network mode and give each of your Universities their own ‘blog’ on the network. Then it would be a matter of simply setting up a bbPress forum for each blog site.

[Anointed]

bbPress works with 90% of all the themes out there. If you are using the default bbPress theme, then it may take a few css tweaks to get it working properly.

Hi! I’ve installed new theme on WordPress (Contrast), my problem is that when I show list of forums It seems that there isn’t any CSS applyed. Simple text without any format.

What Can I do for apply specific layout to forum?

Thanks

There’s a “Zip Archive” link on the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin that will download the latest version. I hope you are aware 2.1 is a development version, not a released version of bbPress.

I have test bbpress locally using my theme (it’s premium theme) and I have the same problem as you are (sidebar displays below the main content). I will follow this thread.

[Zachary Russell]

Hello Everyone,

I really want to find a good theme that works with bbpress, that has a sidebar. I want to create a website that has a forum component, with a sidebar for various things. I also want to add advertising (aka Adsense) as a form of revenue, at least to make the site pay for it’s costs.

I have already created 1 website with bbpress, talkbeautyskincare.com and for some reason, sidebar displays below the main content, this is after I added the bbpress files into a child-theme. I just want to know my best bet to tackling this, because I would like to start a community that could help each other out on my ideas.

Thanks so much for your help

Zac

I’m using the BBpress standalone software (not through WordPress blog).

Is this plugin available as a standalone and where can I download it?

I appreciate your help!

[Gautam Gupta]

You might try WordPress SEO which has some support for custom post types, a feature of WordPress that bbPress uses.

[Jared Atchison]

You need to create pages and use shortcodes.

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

For example have a login page that contains [bbp-login] and a registration page that has [bbp-register] – this will allow you users to register for an account (which they need to post) and and area to login at.

Also there are plenty of plugins available on WordPress.org that let you put a login for into widget areas etc.

[Jared Atchison]

The bbP admin area is combined with the WordPress admin area, so you access it the same way.

Once you are on the Dashboard you will see specific menu items that have been added for bbP.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for creating this plugin. The possibilities with it are only limited by a persons skill with php, and of course, their imagination.

Using this plugin, and attempting to build a website around it has dramatically increased my understanding of WordPress, PHP, and everything in between. Before I started tinkering around with this thing I didn’t even know what an array was, nor did I have the slightest understanding of loops, queries, actions, or functions. If I needed something on my website, I used plugins, which often slowed everything down quite a bit and created a ton of conflicts. Now I’m not only designing the website I wanted, but I’m understanding it’s architecture.

Though I am a long way from finishing it, I feel like I actually have the ability complete it on my own, which never would have happened without this plugin.

So thank you again to the creators of bbpress, you truly are the last surviving Jedi Masters of wordpress.

[Jared Atchison]

When you are looking for bbP 2 plugins, disregard the plugins on bbPress.org as they are going to be for 1.x.

All bbP 2.x plugins are being hosted on wordpress.org, so that is where you will want to start your search. Specifically you can check out

I am trying to convert phpbb3 database and it goes quite smoothly BUT suddenly stops at some point when converting posts

Screen: http://forumpokerowe.com/obrazki/bbconverter_error_screen.gif

I’ve tried various ‘Rows Limit’ (50, 100, 200)

What am I doing wrong?

I use:

WordPress 3.2.1

PhpBB 3.08

BBPress plugin 2.0.2

BBConverter 1.3

[Vili]

To answer myself and help anyone else looking for a solution, it seems that the bbConverter plugin is able to do the job: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/

I still have some issues with the conversion, like the first post of every topic showing html code, but at least I’ve made progress.

[Vili]

Have you found a solution to this? There seem to be a number of people with the same issue, and no solution that I can find.

I have the issue, running a bbPress 1.x installation integrated with WordPress. I’d like to switch to the 2.x version, but the importer gives a fatal error.

[Steve]

I missed the recount – hiding it under the general WordPress Tools menu caught me out;-).

I’ve run it and it seems to be OK now when it comes to dates.

Badly needed: A simple SEO plugin that allows me to change the Title of the home page meta tag.

Other items badly needed: SEO for keywords, description.

WordPress has a great plugin called, “All in One SEO PACK” — something like that but for bbpress.

Anyone???

My biggest challenge right now to using bbpress is difficulty finding quality plugins.

Please help!

Thank you!!!

I saw a thread about registration for bbPress forum plugin on WP:

These are two ways that were mentioned, but I am not sure how to do either:

1. create an .htaccess and put the following in:

Redirect 301 /yourbbpressdirectory/register.php http://yourdomain.com/yourwordpressdirectory/wp-login.php?action=register

2. <?php

header(‘Location:http://your-wordpress-url.com/wp-login.php?action=register&#8217;);

?>

Can anyone give me a step by step on how to do this? Thanks.
