But is there not an import option in BBPress 2.0?

I have my forum installed on a different database than WordPress. Will I be able to move the data from one database to a different one?

[spabav]

After a couple of weeks testing bbpress and several other forum solutions, we are really hesitating in running bbpress as our forum.

From what we see the bbpress plugin, while not as feature-rich as stand-alone bulletin boards like vbulletin, phpbb or xenForo, does one thing outstandingly well, which is the integration into wordpress.

For that reason alone, it would be worth giving it a try.

Unfortunately – and here comes our biggest issue – it looks like the bbpress plugin is currently not given full (or any) attention from WordPress.

My question is very simple:

How many developers / coders are writing code of the bbpress plugin currently ?

Is @johnjamesjacoby the only one?

Is there anybody else “officially assigned/paid by wordpress” to work on the bbpress plugin and documentation or/and support ?

John is doing an excellent job, on all his help he gives especially in the bbpress forum. But since the community is small and John is also working on the buddypress project, we are really worried to put our eggs in a “one-man-show plugin” basket.

Please tell me that I got this wrong and that there are at least several people currently working on the bbpress plugin and documentation.

Would be great if anybody could shed some light on this.

I’ve looked into a plugin called Role Scoper which grants you the ability to restrict things based on WordPress user roles and capabilities. Admittedly, the plugin is a bit bulky for what’s being accomplished with the above code but it’s an option.

Hey @WhiteRau – here’s what I’ve found on the subject so far.

According to this:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-plugins-load-order

It should be completely possible to make bbPress load first using the priority value in the add_action() call. So if you can figure out which function(s) you want to be sure load first, you can enter a low value (lower than 10) and it should work. I don’t have time to test it now, but if you’re curious, I doubt it could hurt anything to give it a try.

Good luck!

Can you go into the database and remove the old WordPress account?

[mesayre]

If you’re impatient (like me) you can actually fix this with a really easy edit to bbp-common-template.php

This ticket from trac shows you what to do:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1665

Core edits are generally not a great idea, but since this exact fix looks to be in the pipeline for a future release, seems like an OK thing to do.

I posted some of my issues on wprdpress because they weren’t answered and still haven’t been onbbpress. if you read this websites documentation it does say that you can post into the wordpress forum.

The issues that have yet to be resolved are still;

1. I can’t access my bbpress admin panel, dashboard or whatever you call

it. I keepm getting unregistered user messages. wordpress did show to me

that my bbpress profile exists.

My profile is tony webb and my forum is what do Christians believe.

2. Whenever I log into this forum I have to reset the password. I cut and

paste the previous password but this gets rejected. it also seems that

the check box when ticked doesn’t work as my password info isn’t saved.

[redcocker]

I may understand the reason.

Because User(User group) wasn’t given “unfiltered_html” capability.

Judging by the query, it looks like this is your topics index page or recent posts widget? It’s weird that it’s trying to grab both topics and replies, so that might be a bug depending on your config.

The short solution, which isn’t the best one, is not to have private or hidden forums. The NOT IN and INNER JOIN with the postmeta table is certainly to blame here, which goes away if you don’t have private or hidden forums. That combined with the IN query on ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ will pretty much result in full table scans.

The long term solution is to tidy up some of the meta values in bbPress, and move some of the hierarchical data out of postmeta and into indexed int values in the posts table. It’s a hack, but we’re at the mercy of the WordPress posts table schema.

A by-product of your post is it looks like it’s comparing as CHAR instead of SIGNED, which might marginally improve the query, but won’t fix the problem.

Ok, hum, all this plugin arent bbpress 2.0 compatible, but bbpress 1.0 compatible.

for bbpress login you can just put a widget in your sidebar, it’s on your wordpress admin bar

exactly same for last replies, last forum, …

bbpress 2.0 isn’t the same thing that bbpress 1.0

bbPress 2.0 doesnt require integration, it is a plugin to wordpress.

good luck

[shooo]

Hello,

What is your version of wordpress and that of your forum?

You have arrived in time to log a wordpress admin?

sorry for my poor english but i dont understand this expression

“Is it possible to delete this integration link “

in your blog, i see a vanilla forum not a bbpress integration oO

[shooo]

you must be configured wordpress user and they can post, register, …

well to you.

I hope this is understandable

[tony webb]

Thank you for your reply.

The version that I have is version 2.0

I have integrated my forum into wordpress (plugins) and changed my wordpress theme to 2010 so that it is bbpress friendly.

I’m having problems setting that up but I noticed this evening that a sticky has been posted saying that there is an an online video tutorial available. I’ll watch that and follow what it says and then get back with any problems if any!

I’ve also changed my theme to a bbpress friendly theme twenty ten which has resolved the issue of my forum being cut off on the right of the screen. (I was using twenty eleven which although wordpress says that it is bbpress friendly it requires a lot of fiddling about to set up correctly)

For some reason bbpress defaulted to an old wordpress account (which i assumed had been removed) and since then I have not been able to log into the bbpress admin panel for food for thought. The old wordpress blog issue has been resolved but from the bbpress side of things I am unable to access my dashboard. When I log in I get unregistered user notices.

I need to use the bbpress admin panel to reorganise how I have set things up. I have done it completely wrong. The topics that I have created should be the categories or the forums (subjects that appear on the main forum page) and not as sub categories under one main subject.

It just seems to me that all I need is for bbpress to recognise that I am a registered user. I tried opening another account but I couldn’t do that as it said that the user already exists!

[Andre]

What version of bbPress are you using? If a version other than 2.x, is it integrated with WordPress?

[Steve]

Its not natural traffic – it just seems to be bbpress doing repeated head/gets on links that are pasted in posts – it also seems to do it to links out to other sites – well it used 195MB of bandwidth against another server in less than 1 day.

And I’ve found it does do it if the file is in the same domain – just missed it in the access logs.

Checking my server access logs the only odd thing I see is

Does anyone know of a plugin or similar for a universal search across the BuddyPress and bbPress portions of my site?

I have been looking around and found some hacks for WordPress / BuddyPress, but nothing for BuddyPress / bbPress.

[shyaam]

pimarts: I really need your help in understanding if there is a documentation on how you did it or if you could provide me more assistance directly, that would be great as well.

kangenguru: When I did it using your technique, I had issues the BBPress plugin did not have the bb-config.php, so I used the bb-config that is within the buddypress. Hence, I couldnt get the bb-press 2.0 to work. But again when I did it with what is built into buddypress itself, all the files and folders showed up like they were missing.

I am not saying that integrating buddyPress+BBPress is bad, but all I am saying is that I did not know how to work with this issue (could be the lack of knowledge). If anyone could help, that would be awesome.

PS: please do not ask me to google for the documents… I have googled for the past 3 weeks and found several solutions and most of them did not work in my situation. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

[WhiteRau]

as you like. my blogs and forums are all working. no need to be offended! i just found that after reading this thread *most* people’s questions came from not reading the sticky all the way through. and you are correct: the sticky doesn’t mention merging files. i read that elsewhere (i’ll try and recall where). does it matter? regardless: what i outlined works.

as for duplicates, they override eachother. there’s duplication, overriding and modifying all over the place in WordPress and bbPress. this is nothing new. all that matters is precedence at the end of the day.

nitpicking is pointless and unhelpful. take it or leave it. don’t really care. all i’m interested in is helping people sort this out. my way works. end of story. if you can indeed write a new plugin, then by all means give ‘er! yours might be the halcyon we’ve all been hoping for! that’s the beauty of all this stuff!

WR!

[WhiteRau]

i got mine working almost without effort. i literally read the sticky at the top of this thread and it worked.

a couple of things to note, that people are stumbling over:

1) READ THE STICKY. don’t peruse it. READ IT.

2) the sticky actually says the same thing twice. COPY the CONTENTS of wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten to YOUR theme’s folder, whether it be a child theme or not. in my case the path was wp-contentthemesSuperTurboTheme.

3) it’ll ask it you want to overwrite ‘style.css’. don’t. just let the OS rename it to ‘style(2).css’.

4) ditto for the ‘functions.php’ file. it should, temporarily, be ‘functions(2).php.

5) MERGE the two functions.php files. i just copy/pasted everything from ‘functions(2).php’ to the bottom of the ‘functions.php’ file. just like in the sticky. i didn’t merge the ‘style.css’ and ‘style(2).css’ files. but i DID make sure the ‘Tags:’ line in my ‘style.css’ file included ‘bbPress’ as the first item, just to be sure. it was an old requirement that doesn’t seem to have been deprecated anywhere and i’m a belt-n-suspenders boy…

6) at the very top of your newly expanded ‘functions.php’ file, add the line ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the very top. just like in the sticky. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SIMILAR LINE IN the bbPress’ functions.php file, YOUR functions.php file MUST HAVE THIS LINE as well. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MERGED.

7) reload.

don’t get clever. don’t reinvent. don’t assume anything. just follow the steps and you should be fine.

your only challenge now is figuring out how to do your CSS. the ‘style.css’ will control the WordPress portion of the site. it CAN handle the bbPress styling as well, but i prefer to leave it to bbPress.css (located in the ‘css’ folder you copied over) to handle the forum styles. its a bit of a headache sorting out the bevy of tags that get generates, but hey, it works. and i DO mean headache.

not to beat a dead horse, but the real challenge IS sorting out the secondary CSS. i recommend Firebug to help you drill down the the styles. the byzantine class structure can make your head spin. try using the elements that are relatively easy to spot. and REMEMBER THIS: NOT ALL CLASSES ARE IN THE STYLESHEET. this can really toss a wrench into things. they are added for future slice-n-dice, but seems overkill to me. low-order CSS has proved easier for me. i can’t foresee a reason to slice the site up so finely…but it’s futureproofed to the wheel-wells!

good luck. hope this was useful. i apologize if i missed anything. i tried to be thorough AND simple.

feel free to correct me if i stepped wrong somewhere. this is what worked to me.

WR!

Hello, I am using latest BBpress as a plugin for WordPress 3.2.1.
I want to enable lithuanian language for BBpress, created necessary folder and uploaded language file, but i can’t find bb-config.php file. There is no such file at all… What should I do? Thank you.

[John James Jacoby]

@thecolab – A lot of the things you mention are more functions of a complete site than they are functions of only a forum. As such, bbPress can only predict so much of how any theme is setup, and sticks hard to the WordPress conventions of shortcodes, widgets, and theme hierarchy.

Since WordPress doesn’t have ‘section specific widgets’ neither does bbPress. Some people want full-width forums, others do not. bbPress comes with some examples on how you can make some of these things happen, but it doesn’t yet work for 100% of all themes and sites all the time.

Really what bbPress needs is for someone (other than me) to start developing themes and widgets for it. Until that happens, some things will remain balkanized my design to appeal to the greater 80% of WordPress users.

In addition, having someone contributing code patches and new features is also helpful. For a while Gautam was able to consistently help, and Jared helped with Genesis integration. If someone wants to dream up new features and code them under my tutelage, I’m happy to help someone else get things done.

Hey folks. Got back up and running again. It is a load order issue. WP was attempting to load my theme files before it loaded the bbp core files. Since the class BBP_Theme_Compat is referenced in core, this makes wordpress asplode.

I disabled the theme via FTP to get access to WP admin, then disabled bbpress. Then re-enabled bbpress and lastly re-enabled the theme. Seems to have solved it for now. If I had better WP/php chops I’d know how to write some code that ensures BBP core always loads before any themes. But I don’t. Maybe that can go on the list for next release?

Have a good one.

[redcocker]

I am using bbpress2.0 (bbress 2.0.1 plugin) on WordPress 3.2.1 and want to allow “pre” tag and “class” attribute for non-admin users.

I modified /includes/kses.php in the WordPress.

I placed fllowing code in the definition of $allowedtags.

'pre' => array(

'class' => array ()),

Nevertheless, “class” attribute was removed.

So, <pre class="value">my code</pre> was replaced with <pre>my code</pre>.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
