For me, it ended up being that the user roles assigned in WordPress (I used a CSV import tool, then bulk modified user roles)did not get transferred to role in BBPress. All users in BBPress ended up with role of “No Role (inactive)”.. I had to have each of the 500 users manually changed to a role that had “Add” permissions.. once I did that, all good.. however, manually added new users to WordPress show in BBPress as having no role (inactive).

I’m meeting with some IT students tomorrow who will possibly be working on projects with me as part of their course. I was thinking that maybe they could make some simple widgets for the new bbPress plugin.

Are there any simple plugins/widgets that bbPress users would like built?

More information is available on WP Tavern:

http://www.wptavern.com/forum/plugins-hacks/2294-free-wordpress-plugin-development.html

And I’ve posted some of the current suggestions on Google+, none of them are bbPress related (yet):

Thanks for any ideas you guys might have

[pimarts]

If I find the time I’ll see if I can test on a brand new install, but I don’t know if I’ll have that time.

Any idea what else could cause it?

Either way, it’s not really an issue for me for me at the moment, since it’s working now

PS > Lots of updates yesterday night, nice one!

[John James Jacoby]

I see the ticket, I commented on it yesterday. I can’t duplicate it, and don’t see any reason that cap would cause that behavior.

[John James Jacoby]

For what it’s worth, *not* wanting complete integration between a WordPress install and bbPress is the exception rather than the rule. It’s been a long while since someone has wanted two separate and disconnected installations.

Best of luck!

@chesternerd – This topic is in regards to bbPress 2.0, which is a turn-key plugin for WordPress.

@Stephanie Leary – Try r3404 – Multisite or single? Have you tried deactivating/reactivating the plugin?

“Where can I contribute translations

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/”

I was willing to translate to Spansh, since is my mother language, and I need it. I translated a few things and realised that it didn’t work, they need to be aproved to be downloaded. Then I saw this:

Language % Translated Untranslated Waiting

Spanish (Spain) 0% 0 706 818

Almost everything has been already translated, but is not aproved. I’ve been reading and it might not be perfect, since some words are still in english (for instance Topic instead of “Hilo/Tema”), but it would be great to have access to that translation. There’ll be time for future improvements, I am the first one interested.

So, who’s in charge of it?

Thank you.

PD: I need it for this http://www.opes.es/ new website. I got a translation file but is not completed. I am also looking for a guide to develop a plugin using the rewrite module, since the dynamic tests are now created using ?ID=x …

I am always updating the files as soon as I see an update here:

It’s this ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1576

Giving the “edit_other_forums” cap seemed to solve it.

[Thomas Clausen]

I had a (good regular)user keep posting af reply to a topic, but he didn’t see the comment. Fortunately he wrote me, and I found it marked as spam (several times) in the database.

That must be three problem:

1. The user wasn’t notified that his comment was marked as spam

2. The user had a bunch of approved comments, so this shouldn’t happen should it?

3. I couldn’t see this anywhere in the WordPress backend

[John James Jacoby]

Doesn’t seem so. Marking as resolved.

[Erlend]

Separate as in users, or just not an inherent part of WordPress?

I highly recommend Vanilla:

http://vanillaforums.org/

That’ll give you a tight integration with WordPress, but through a “bridge”, so CMS and Forum remain two distinct systems.

[pimarts]

That’s because the WordPress plugin is still in beta. There’s bits and pieces of information all over the forum and you can always ask questions of course.

[ufpst]

Hi there,

I’ve added bbPress as a plugin to my WordPress install.

I’ve also created a page called ‘Forum’. I’ve created two forums, but the only way I can get them to display is to view them directly from the admin panel.

How do I make these visible from the forum link on my page?

With thanks,

DC.

[peaceharbor]

Yea, I tried installing bbPress 2.0 as a plugin through WordPress. How do I merge my old bbPress with the latest version? Looking at the new ReadMe file, it wants me to upload the new version in my ‘wordpress/wp-content/plugins’ directory and not where I currently have it installed which is in the WP root directory.

[pimarts]

The WordPress plugin of bbPress (2.0) does this.

[peaceharbor]

I have installed the latest 3.2.1 version of WordPress, and it is a private site/blog that requires all users to register before they can access the site. I could desperately use the bbPress forum, but I need the same security features as my site. I’ve installed bbPress 1.0.3 to my WordPress directory, and have enabled this forum to be a Private Forum by using the ‘private forums’ plugin.

All the integration with WP & bbPress works correctly, and the current users that have already registered with my site already have access to the forum. However, any new users need to register through my WP site, NOT the bbPress forum.

In short, how can I redirect the registration link on the forum to that of my WP registration page?

[peaceharbor]

I agree HotShotTwo. This is a feature I need desperately.

[peaceharbor]

Where exactly in the .htaccess file would I put this? I’ve tried it above ‘# BEGIN bbPress’, also below it…any suggestions?

folgerj: It is possible if extending WordPress’ html filtering system to allow images. In my post toolbar, I extended it to allow images for forum replies, which currently also includes blog comments.

[skoblenick]

To replicate:

1. Create Forum

2. Create Topic

3. View Topic in WordPress

4. Click ‘Add this topic to your favorites’

a) Clicking the [x] next to the ‘This topic is one of your favorites’ seems to redirect correctly.

5. Click the ‘favorites’ link

6. You are now in the ‘forums/users/[username]’; scroll down to the ‘Favorite Forum Topics’

7. Click the “x” button to remove. I am redirected back to ‘2011/08/04/hello-world/’ for example. My expected action would to have been redirected to the /forums/users/[username] as that is where I was.

It could be I don’t have something configure correctly but this is an out of the box installation.

I looked at the bbp_favorites_handler() in ./bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp_user_functions.php and the fall back action for the redirect is get_permalink(). This should be something more like $_SERVER to redirect the user back to their original page.

[symetrikdesign]

I’m glad that others see this as a beneficial suggestion.

Having the integration with WordPress makes this forum tool very useful, and only requires a user to have one ID to make blog comments, as well as, participate in a forum.

This could be a big step forward for WordPress to move more into the CMS market.

However, finding information on how to integrate, customize, and expand on the core bbPress functionality seems difficult due to the lack of organization.

It seems that this issue could be easily solved with a new forum…and at the same time showcase one of bbPress’s features.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

You will have to deal with that padding anyway.

To change the avatar size, create a new theme by copying the bbpress-twentyten theme to your WordPress themes directory and changing its name in style.css and then at line 53 of the file bbpress/loop-forums.php (can be the wrong file) look for bbp_author_link function. You will see the size as 14 there, change it to a bigger size.
