I have install wordpress and bbpress seperately.

http://www.sscn.jp

http://bbs.sscn.jp

but the database name is the same.

I find twitter tool for wp.

>Frankly it should not be that difficult to modify a number of the twitter posting plugins to work with >bbPress as bbPress uses WordPress standards 100%.

But I do not konw programmin.

I am wondering why nobody make such plugin for bbpress.

I think many bbpress users are searching for it.

Nothing specific to bbPress, however topics are nothing more than a custom post-type for WordPress.

That means if you can find a twitter plugin for WordPress where the plugin author set it up to work with custom post-types, then you are set. Frankly it should not be that difficult to modify a number of the twitter posting plugins to work with bbPress as bbPress uses WordPress standards 100%.

There are bound to be other forum themes and plugins for WordPress, and they are welcomed; variety is the spice of life and all that.

It’d be great if their time was instead spent on improving bbPress, but I understand that contributing to another project outside of their control isn’t what a lot of people want to do. bbPress is the best opportunity of all the .org projects; the audience is small so the ability to shine is huge. Big fish, small pond.

I’ll add that if it’s bbPress or anything else, you’re still placing your trust in someone to do something that you aren’t. I work closely with the WordPress core team on almost a daily basis to ensure that both BuddyPress and bbPress are as secure and functional as possible, push updates out quickly when needed, and manage the support forums and sites as well.

Anointed is correct that WordPress 3.3 addresses any performance issues with permalinks in WordPress. I’d go as far as to say that you DON’T want your forum area to use a date-based structure because the date would be based on the topic creation date and not the most recent replies. You risk your topics being intermingled with your blog, which will be confusing to most users.

Thanks for the help..

Nope totally not, just found that board system by accident..

I think bbPress is a great product and it works fine.

The few problems i face are based on WPMU install and testing it locally most of them are my own fault..

I’m trying to make a homepage (WP-website1) with only my blog onto it and a second page (WP-website2) called members with a few forums and some posts on helping very new WordPress users with just some easy steps, as i’m not a professional myself.

Nothing to difficult but the theme i’m using is this one and it’s a little bit old.

http://store.informationarchitects.net/product/ia³-template

It’s a great theme, and i only bought it because of it’s Responsive design. The double drop-down select menu’s when viewing on mobile device is just great.

After installing i started to delete almost every feature because i don’t need them, i Love to keep everything as simple and clean as possible. Less is more..

Because i’m not a Pro, and don’t know anything about PHP i just have to do everything by searching online, looking inside the WordPress Codex and copy-/pasting everything i see and what i think i can read-/understand.. (i do have HTML-/CSS knowledge)

So till now and still working on it i came up with this:

A custom made Widget that i have dropped on the homepage between the blog lay-out to let people know there is a support forum.

http://i56.tinypic.com/25gcb36.png

A tabbed forums view with different options.

http://i54.tinypic.com/2vjel3q.png

Latest topics view.

http://i52.tinypic.com/2rcydra.png

And i customized the Post Toolbar plugin from Master5o1

http://i52.tinypic.com/2zxxqbm.png

As you can see there is still lot to work on, the single pages , replies, edit pages and others.

Lucky it’s just a hobby and i have time.

** O there is one thing i would really love to see inside bbPRess and thats comments-/reply counts.

Just an option to view how many replies a user has given and maybe a user level attached to it.

Like less than 50 posts = New

50 to 100 = Average

250+ = Pro user.

That would be cool to have.

WordPress 3.3 completely solves that problem with performance. It’s a huge under the hood addition that most people will never even notice, but none the less very important.

You can now use %post_name% and have the exact same performance as any other structure. Not to mention his article is dealing with pages and not posts so it is in no way relevant to bbPress. (Yeah I was confused by that as well but JJ set me straight on that months ago)

Also keep in mind, topics and replies are exactly the same thing as posts. There is absolutely nothing to gain by using a system like the other software does.

*Is there something you are seeing in that plugin that you wish bbPress was doing? just curious….

[Jaja..]

True i also looked at it and it’s not great from what i can tell as a rookie.

bbPress code looks much better and also the handling of the template files is done better.

Only one little thing i like better of this Board system:

It still uses the real Posts and Permalinks structure of WP instead of Forums and Topics.

As WordPress and (Otto’s Blog) stated for larger sites it’s important to start your Blog Posts on a Permalinks structure by a number and not by Category of post_name. Just like this: example.com/2011/11/%post_name%

For WordPress performance reasons it would be better to start of by a number first because numbers are found first inside the Database. something like that i think it was.

Hello guys,

I found this forum running on a single WP install and it’s very cheap.

http://dolcepixel.com/discussion-board-wordpress-theme/

It probably isn’t the best coded product in the world but what it does (i think) is it transforms your single WordPress installation into a forum (board) software.

Categories become forums, posts become topics and comments become replies.

Nothing wrong with that i think and if you’re smart enough to work with Custom Post Types you can still create your own Blog Posts on the side but for most people a Blog isn’t needed on a Board system.

Whats your idea of this?

I’m just a Rookie.

Problem i face with bbPress is that it’s too much on JJJ shoulders and only on his shoulders.

This guy is working his *** off all day and bbPress doesn’t seem to get picked up by the average WordPress user.

bbPress doesn’t get enough FEED and traffic from the WordPress.org website and everyday it’s getting spammed from every corner of the world..

I really love the way and idea behind bbPress as a plugin but it needs more professionals to take it of JJJ shoulders and bring it to the next level..

Hi. I’m trying to create a bbPress shortcode so that I can display topics that have a certain meta_key value. I’ve been trying to piece it together from the global bbpress shortcodes and wordpress shortcode tutorials.

I’m using a Dev4Press premium plugin to create the custom fields for each bbpress topic. (http://www.dev4press.com/download/plugin-gd-taxonomies-tools) Now I just have to figure out how to filter based on the custom data.

Here’s what I have. It isn’t going so well, and I’d love a tip.

<?php function FilterTopics($topics_query = array()) {

'meta_key' => 'ride_destination',

'post_type' => 'topic',

'posts_per_page' => -1

);

}



if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) ) {

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    );

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics'    );

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    );



// No topics

} else {

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/feedback',   'no-topics' );

}



add_shortcode('sitemap', 'GenerateSitemap');  ?>

Hi everyone.

I am currently looking into migrating one of my bbpress forums to a qusetion2answers installation on a wordpress site and was wondering if anyone know if this was possible or not?

Thanks

[Anointed]

I mentioned in some of your other posts that the docs you are following are for the old 1x bbPress plugin. There is not a theme manager for the new bbPress.

Right now there is just the one theme available which I see is running correctly on your site. I’m sure more themes are in the pipeline.

[insaan]

Hi,

Can you install Facebook connect to a bbpress forum that is embedded within a wordpress site?

I have downloaded the following plugin – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/

However when I uploaded it to the plugins directory within my wordpress site, it does not appear in the plugins admin menu. I cannot locate the bbpress plugins area within my WordPress site either?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Dan

Hi,

I have installed BBPress into my wordpress site – http://www.3hreedee.com

However at the moment it looks pretty blank, is there anyway of installing a theme to bbpress even though it is within a wordpress site? I have tried uploading themes into the FTP themes folder however cannot find anywhere within bbadmin that would allow me to install these?

My test link is here:http://www.3hreedee.com/forums/

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Dan

bbPress 2.x will work with any WordPress theme, some better than others.

[tony webb]

I’ve watched the video. I see what the problem is now;

I started at the forum level because I thought category was specific to wordpress. I need to move everything up one level.

[Anointed]

OK, I had no problem registering for your site and creating a topic and a reply to my topic.

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/looks-like-a-nice-forum-setup/#post-594

also created a topic and reply via the top wp admin bar:

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/testing-topic-entered-in-top-admin-bar/

*Hope you don’t mind my creating the topic, but seemed best way to test it out.

As far as I can see everything is working perfectly.

*

One thing I would consider adding is a plugin by JJ

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

This will remove the ability to create topics and replies via the top wp admin bar for all users except the super admin.

I am guessing that you are using the wordpress backend to create topics and replies (the screen that looks like the create posts).

Really even though you can do it that way, you are more supposed to create topics and replies on the front end of the website. It is confusing to users to click on the top admin bar and go to the wordpress backend to create topics and replies. That little plugin removes that.

Finally:

I can say that your forums are working correctly. To make things easier to understand install that plugin I listed so that your users can’t see the top admin bar to create topics and replies. They will then see the forums as more what they would expect.

Hope the info helps and best of luck

Hi,

The forum is instalation

The topic is titled

Unable to display bbpress forum in wordpress

It says that it was posted 2 days ago. it was longer than that. I have resolved that problem.

[tony webb]

I don’t know what theme you have but at the moment bbpress only works in theme twenty ten 1.2.

[john9]

I have a WordPress 3.2.1. and bbPress 2.0.1

and in forum write this:

Warning: sprintf(): Argument number must be greater than zero in

xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx/web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 1690

What does this mean?

Thank you for super plugin.

[tony webb]

I don’t know if my post has been hacked because the originator and tag information have been changed.

I posted on here 3 days ago although your notice board says 1 day. I’ve not received an answer and had another look today.

I noticed that the originator of the post has been changed to The North face jackets and the tags changed to LED Board, LED Display and LED screen.

The psoting affected is unable to display bbpress in wordpress. I have resolved this but I now have another problem with displaying posts correctly. I will post a new topic on this.

[AWCQ]

Sorry, I’m new to bbPress. I was referencing the docs found under the Docs tab at the top of this website.

I am using version “Version 2.0.1”.

I installed it through WordPress’ plugin installer, could that cause an issue?

[Anointed]

Sounds like you might be reading the docs for the old 1x system?

bbPress 2.0 does not have an admin panel as it does not need one, being a native WordPress plugin and all.

[AWCQ]

I’m trying to get bbPress set up. I don’t see a way to access the bbPress admin mentioned below:

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums.”

I read somewhere it’s accessed by going to siteurl/bb-admin but that returns a page not found.

The forum is there and seems to work otherwise, however.

Hi all,

I am adding ratings to forum topics for a single forum, using this plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/

I have added the required code to loop-topic.php and loop-single-topic.php to get ratings showing up in the topic list.

I am now trying to restrict these ratings to a single forum but I have not been able to find a way to get the current forum id to check if it is the right forum to display the ratings

[tony webb]

I have integrated bbpress in my wordpress account.

I have made a test forum, topic and post and wanted to see how they appear on the wppress forum page that I made. They don’t display even though I set the page category to forum.

What do I need to do to get my forum to display in wordpress?

If it helps – I have installed and activated the following plugins;

bbpress

bbpress integration

bbpress post toolbar
