When I paste a youtube link into a bbPress 2.0 forum posting or reply it comes out as a link.

When I paste the same youtube link into a buddyPress 1.5 broup forum it comes back as I expected (like wordpress) as an embedded video.

Is there a way to get the two versions of bbPress to act the same?

Thanks, and please forgive my ignorance if this is a simple, obvious configuration setting that somehow I overlooked.

I believe I may have found a solution to this problem… Woot!

1) install the wordpress plugin CLEditor

2) on line 25 of cle_wp.php change the line to read:

$(“#new-post textarea”).cleditor();

3) test, test, test, test, test.

this seems to be working on my test server but I’ve only given it a few minutes trial. I’ve tried it using bbpress standalone alongside buddypress, not in one of the group forums (yet).

So I’m using WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, and wrapping Suffusion ( with BP addon ) around those. Oh and using my own Theme so I can make modifications, if I need too ( Child Theme under Suffusion ). In any event my question is…

How do I remove the Comment Box from the Topic’s Page’s in my Forums? There is a Reply Box, for posting in the Forum, and directly under that is the normal Comment Box for replying to a new Posting ( Like if I’d Posted a new Blog Posting ). The Reply Box actually needs to be there, obviously. But the Comment Box is not needed and unsightly, since the Reply Box is directly above it.

Yes, thank you for your response dominornovus. I had just now figured out and corrected number one myself. I had Buddypress’s forums active and it was conflicting with bbpress.

The second one, well I only use the databases for WordPress and obviously Buddypress and bbpress. I just need to know if bbpress is using my mysql database for storing of the forums ( posts and such ) and if it is is there a way to use multiple databases’s with it, as I’m sure I’m not the only one using GoDaddy or the only one with this 1Gig database restriction. Or even if the 1Gig is going to be a problem. If it’s not do to some functionality by the software such as autogenerating a second database or whatever then I just need to know that.

And the third one I’ve already code for the css for the bar I want when I try including it it does nothing. The bar I’ve looked at his hooks are actually different than mine, now that might be from the css. I need to know what stylesheet to modify, I guess. I use Suffusion as my Theme and I tried adding a stylesheet into it’s backend to modify the admin bar but, as I said it did nothing.

Are you using a standalone bbPress installation or the WordPress plugin?

Regarding tags, here’s some answers to be found on this website:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/delete-user-and-all-users-posts

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/

From what I understand, both can done from your admin panel.

If you’re using bbPress as a plugin, you’ll find what you’re looking for here:

Users can be managed from: http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/users.php

Tags can managed from: http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php

What is the best way to get a sitemap.xml with the new bbpress 2.0? I know there are a lot of plugins out there that provide .xml sitemaps for regular wordpress posts, but do these sitemap plugins work with the new 2.0 custom post type bbpress forums? Can you recommend a sitemap plugin that would work with your new version?

Okay so yeah I’m new to all of this WordPress stuff, but I think I’m doing pretty well with it. I have three questions, and I have searched them here and came up empty so here goes…

Firstly, in my “Forums” section, that I am choosing to call “Discussions” because I do not like the word “Forum”, I have all the stuff setup so that you now go to http://www.yoursite.com/discussions and the forums page loads but that’s the issue… It still reads Forums. I’m unable to figure out which file I need to edit to alter this to read “Discussions”.

Secondly, my Hosting Provider allows for unlimited Database’s but each one can only be one Gig in size so I’m wondering if there is a way to set up the Forums to use one database for each Forum. Or what other options I may have here. I know that a gig is a bit but if I was to handle several hundred users, I’m not so sure 1 gig is going to sustain a forums section. Unless the forums aren’t using my mysql database, I’m not really sure about that. A bit of clarification would be great!

Thirdly, is there a way to Mod the Admin Bar to be more of what I want it to be? I mean I know there is because I’ve seen a really nice one on another site already. I’m just curious as to which files I need to edit to manipulate it and also if there’s a guide somewhere to do that ( or a Plugin ).

So, yeah those are basically the three issues I’m having right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated! And, if you like you can check out what I’m talking about at http://www.goodintoday.com/discussions ( for the Forum question ), the other two I don’t think you need a site to answer. Thanks again!

woot! Got it working… now just need to start from scratch and do it cleanly.

One thing I found quite frustrating was that somewhere or other, a post count is kept after using bbconverter. I did not find it sufficient to clean and start over. I ended up having to muck about with the post_metadata table the posts table, and others. Even after going on multiple search and destroy missions into the database, I still could not get the post count to start where i though it should. Hence the strong recommendation to make db backups along the way.

So, I managed to get SMF users and posts over to WordPress and bbPress 2.0 plugin respectively. Here’s the basics of how I did it:

Words of caution!!! BACK UP YOUR WORDPRESS DATA BASE! Make a backup before you install bbpress. make another before you install bbconverter.

Keep the backups because you may need to revert back to them.

Assumption here is that both WordPress and SMF are on the same server, but not the same database.

WARNING! This is just from memory,and it only worked once, and there was a lot of DB manipulation done to get to the end. You should NOT attempt this unless you are very comfortable with SQL, phpmyadmin, and wordpress! If you are even a little concerned, contact the plugin author and tell him how much you are willing to pay for the SMF conversion capability!

1) Install wordpress

2) Install buddypress

3) Install BuddyPress SMF Import plugin

4) Follow the BuddyPress SMF Import directions. You should end up with a number of tables in your WB database that look like wpv_bb_blahblah. Make sure you go through the Upgrade Database step but Do not go beyond that. with this plugin. Please note that this plugin creates new groups for each original forum and all the topics for that forum are associated with the new group. If this is what you want, you can stop here. If like me, you wanted a site-wide forum with the old SMF content, keep going.

5) Deactivate the SMF Import plugin (but keep the SMF Compatibility plugin… you’ll use that for user login later)

6) Using phpmyadmin (or similar) go into the wpv_bb_forums table and make sure that the forum_parent field is set to 0 for all top level forums and set to the appropriate forum_id for any subordinate forums.

7) Through Buddypress, install “site wide forum” which will install bbPress 2.0 plugin.

Make another database backup NOW! Don’t overwrite the ones you made before because you may have to go back further than this if things don’t work!

9) Install bbPress Converter plugin.

10) Go to tools and recount everything.

11) follow the directions for the “Standalonebbress” conversion using the WP database user and password and wpv_bb_ as the db prefix (or whatever the SMF Importer left you with). Do NOT select the transfer user option… the other plugin already did that.

12) If you have a large forum, the conversion takes a while!

That’s about it. If you have set wordpress up to be able to display the plugin forum (not group forums), with any luck, you’ll see your forums populated.

I have not yet tackled the issue of getting rid of all the groups and group forums that the other plugin created.

The resulting forums and posts seem to have wrong dates & times and I have not looked into this.

If I had it to do over again, I probably would have spent the same amount of time figuring out how the converter works and building an SMF converter directly, avoiding the SMF Import plugin altogether.

I beg you to not use this thread to ask questions about this process or any of the plugins or applications other than bbConverter.

I decided this does seem like a bug, or at least a feature that needs change so I added it to Trac:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1663

[mjpg]

[WORK-AROUND]

I used the WP plugin ‘User Role Editor’ (WP not bbp plugin)

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

to add some capabilities to the ‘forum participant’ role.

These seem to be the extra capabilities required:

[v] read_hidden_forums

[v] read_private_forums

[v] read_private_replies

[v] read_private_topics

If set up without the ‘read_hidden_forums’ capability, forums are visible, but not topics. I don’t know if this is real or because I have been switching the hidden/private setting for the forum during testing.

I have done some basic testing and access/posting/replies/create topic/uploads/subscribe all seem to work OK.

I guess this could be done simply via some code in functions.php, but I don’t have the time to investigate.

Using buddpress 1.5.1, bbpress 2.0 plugins for wordpress 3.2.1.

I am moving from an SMF forum. I want to move the smf content to a bbpress site-wide forum.

I tried the Buddypress SMF Forum import plugin. It worked great, but it results in the SMF Forums creating new BuddyPress groups and group forums with the SMF forum posts under the group forums.

Is there a way to move BP group forum content over to a bbPress forum?

Thanks,

joe

What I want to achieve:

I’ve installed bbPress as a plugin for WordPress. I want to make a few simple changes to the bbPress bread crumb function:

bbp_breadcrumb();

I need the bread crumb separator to be double right arrows rather than the default single arrow:

I want to replace > with ».

I also want to add “You are here:”

Why I need this:

I need to match the styling and position the Yoast Breadcrumbs. Yoast Breadcrumbs is installed as a plugin for WordPress. It breaks on bbPress pages.

What I’ve tried:

Using conditions and CSS, I disabled the Yoast bread crumbs on bbPress pages. I also disabled the default bbPress bread crumbs but called it just beneath my primary navigation. Effectively, I’ve “moved” the bbPress bread crumbs.

To change the bread crumb separator I’ve researched JavaScript and jQuery string replacements but I’ve been advised that this is “hacky”.

My question:

What’s the conventional way of changing the output of bbPress function?

I can provide additional JavaScript, PHP and CSS code if required.

Live demo:

These two live examples highlights the two types of bread crumbs:

Yoast bread crumbs: http://www.directsponsor.org/forums/

bbPress bread crumbs: http://www.directsponsor.org/news/

[mjpg]

WordPress 3.2.1; bbPress 2.0; GD bbPress Attachments 1.2.1

I have installed bbPress OK and have a single forum with a few topics/replies as a test.

The forum is for members only and so I set it to ‘private’ in Forum attributes > visibility.

I then created a member ‘Fred Smith’ and set them as a ‘Forum Participant’ but when I log in as them, I get an error “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”.

If I set them to ‘Forum Moderator’ they can see the forum and topics, but then they also have moderator privilages displayed, which is not wanted.

Is this a bug, or am I not understanding ‘private’ correctly?

Thanks for any help.

Version 0.1 of my plugin is now available for download on wordpress.org. Find it here if you want to help test it: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

Ny bbpress theme css file or my wordpress theme css file?

[Anointed]

Yeah, bbPress breadcrumbs use some really tricky logic.

Regular breadcrumb scripts are not going to work throughout bbPress as is. There really isn’t a way of that I personally know on how to fix this issue.

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Check top of dark section of bottom of pages..

Example page breadcrumb works normally:

http://kremim.com/urun/cosmed-daily-shampoo-300-ml-2/

Forums have problem:

http://kremim.com/forum/soru-cevap/

I am using wordpress seo plugin with this code for breadcrumbs:

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {

yoast_breadcrumb('<div id="breadcrumbs"><p>','</p></div>');

} ?>

WordPress is sending email notifications just fine, it is only bbPress notifications that are not…

Well I’ve got bbCode working in my own forums now by creating a mod of the b0ingball bbcode plugin that also supports bbpress. I’ve requested a repository on wordpress for this and will make it available there as soon as my request is approved.

Its just an alpha version so far. It works for my site and historic posts imported from SMF, Vanilla and Phorum versions of my sites forum (I’ve been through a load), but I had to mod the quote and url tags from the b0ingball version because they didn’t work properly for me. Hopefully by fixing them for myself I haven’t broken it for anyone else. I’m prepared to do a little work to get this universal.

Hi everyone – I have recently created a WordPress site and I added the User Photo plugin through my WP Admin and activated it also.

However, the photo I uploaded for myself does not show – how to I enable this feature? Is there a file I have to edit to allow this to happen?

[spigi]

OK, in one things I probably make mistake I try to install bbP 1.0 theme using 2.0 version. bbP 2.0 use WordPress theme, am I right? (sorry for my stupid question but I’m just started with bbPress.)

I install Frisco theme (one of this: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/)

And I still can’t see “add Topic” button. I try everything, every official theme and nothing

What should I do to have “Add topic” button? Exactly like on this forum

PS. I don’t know why but I’m still have this notice:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

I use Frisco theme, bbPress 2.0, buddyPress 1.5 and WP 3.2.1:

The plugins list on the bbPress site are intended for standalone versions of bbPress (0.x and 1.x). bbPress 2.0 plugins are limited at the moment, but would be found in WordPress plugin repository.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

[Steveorevo]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve released my Search bbPress 2.0, a unified search plugin. It has the following features:

* Unified search extends WordPress native search to bbPress 2.0 content

* Corrected hyperlink search results to the actual forum/topic/reply so that users can participate in the forum right away.

* Fixes bbPress login widget typo for all languages (the Log in button)

I’ve had this on my site for a while for testing (it is working great!) but have just submitted it to the WordPress.org repository. Hopefully if will appear soon. I also submitted a bug report to bbPress trac about the typo and how I performed search a while back (but a little too late for 2.0 release), so hopefully these items will be corrected / become native in future releases! Rather then wait for the repository, feel free to download it from my new site (free):

http://serverpress.com/products/search-bbpress/

If you like it, please let others know and/or tweet about it! My site is brand new, so any traffic would be greatly appreciated. Donations would be to just take a moment to review my other wares.

Thanks!

Without php knowledge this would be a huge undertaking. WordPress uses group permissions to set who can do what. (You have to create corresponding groups that have permissions to utilize the new forum type)

A good reference starting point would be to look at the new ‘support’ forums plugin. It’s listed in the forums here the past week.

That would be a good starting point. However like I said, if you are not great at php, this is gonna take a long time to figure out. It’s no small task.

[kai920]

OK, I just set up a 100% fresh WordPress 3.2.1 install along with a 100% fresh bbPress install. Created a new forum, added 2 topics – each with different tags. I added a third topic with no tags.

When I go to view a single tag, it shows all 3 topics which is incorrect and would seem to be a bug.

Can anyone else confirm.
