Thanks Erlend…
But I know how to make wordpress networked and my networked wordpress is sub domained and it have not a good like if my blog is http://blog.7i7griffin.info but my forum be 7i7griffin.info/forum
Am I say something wrong?
I have an interesting plugin that may be a solution that puts the control of blocking troublemakers and annoying people at the level of users.
I’ve made a plugin that allows people to block any post or topic from any user from being visible to them.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-ignore-user/
It allows a user, Alice, to maintain a list of ignored users. So when Alice decides to ignore any other user, Bob, then she will no longer be shown any of Bob’s topics or posts.
Of course, sometimes Alice might want to view a post made by Bob, so it is possible to view ignored posts or topics by clicking a “Show Topics” or “Show Posts” link.
Alice can remove Bob from her ignore list by going to her profile where her ignore list is displayed privately.
* Moderators cannot be ignored by anyone.
* A user cannot ignore themselves.
* A user’s ignore list is private and viewable only to that user or an administrator (or rather, some user who can edit that user’s profile).
* A user (e.g.) Admin who can edit that user’s (Alice’s) profile can also remove ignored users (Bob) from the user’s (Alice’s) profile.
Sound good? I call it self-censorship and self-moderation. I’m going to build a few more plugins based on self-censorship and self-moderation.
I have bbpress plugin + buddypress installed.
If I use the “Mark as Spammer” function in buddypress, because it is not linked with bbpress plugin, this Member is still allowed to post in the Forums !!
This is a big issue for me as I have 10k members on my website, and hopefully most of them will join my forums soon … and unfortunately, some of them are real troublemakers that we need to control in some ways …
I hope that bbpress plugin will get more advanced moderation tools very soon !
Any plans about this ?
Thank you
PS. I understand that bbpress plugins users are the same as my WordPress subscribers … I wonder if I could use a regular wordpress plugin for this ? Any help appreciated !
Ok, I’ve updated it to 0.3.0, you can get it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/ when that updates.
I’m not sure. But it’s really just a collection of images, and a PHP array that binds a particular smiley code (e.g. ‘
‘) to a specific image file, (e.g. ‘smile.png’).
So it’s really quite easy to piece together your own smiley package. I might be interested in hosting some on my website as a central and related place for distribution.
The array is practically an overwrite of the array that handles the WordPress’ default smilies.
PS. I’m about to update the plugin to allow this fallback to plugin’s smiley dir, among a few other things that I’ve thought of over the last hour.
Hi. In the plugin directory I have included a folder named smilies. Copy this directory and its contents into the ./wp-content/ directory.
Essentially:
mv ./wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies ./wp-content/ -r
If you want to change the smilies, take a look at the package-config.php file inside the smilies directory mentioned above and you can probably work out how to switch the files, or add more to the set.
—-
I think I’ll update my plugin so that instead of defaulting to WordPress’ smilies, it’ll defaults to the smilies folder in the plugin dir.
ie: Order of preference will become:
if option allows custom smilies:
./wp-content/smilies/
./wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies/
else:
WordPress’ default set.
Be careful, if you use the forum within a wordpress website with a sitemap on its own. Choose then another filename!
I have a clean brand new install of WordPress.
I installed the buddypress plugin and it seems like it works fine. I don’t like the fact you can’t make any changes to it’s internal install of bbpress (no settings page that I could find) so I don’t enable the forum.
I install the bbPress Plugin (2.0-beta-3b) and it shows up in the dashboard. I can create forums and posts. I cannot get to the default listing of forums on the site.
mydomain.com/forums/ – goes to what looks like a blank wordpress page named “Forums”
I can click view forum from withing the dashboard and it takes me to the forum topic
Hi wordchef,
What I had to do was to go into the WordPress Discussion settings and uncheck ‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment ‘.
When I did that it gave me the boxes to comment.
Cheers,

The plugin is not finished yet, documentation will be made (available) when the plugin is done. For now you’ll have to look into the files and search this forum. Because this question has been answered already.
See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-and-studiopress-genesis-can-someone-please-tell-me-if-this-works for instance.
In short: bbPress uses WordPress users, your users can register like they would normally for the WordPress installation. There are shortcodes for login / register pages though.
I’m not sure where to find bbPress 1.x themes, but if your current blog is a WordPress site I would use the bbPress plugin so you can use your existing WP theme. The plugin can be found at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/.
Hi all,
I have just set up bbpress 2.0 as a plug in to my WordPress website and it is working great.
However, I can’s seem to work out how a user (other than me) can register and log in to start a topic or reply to a post….
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Glyn
Read up on the P2 discussion, in particular this post by JJJ to get an idea of where to start looking.
I also made a mockup of how I personally envisioned this functionality:
https://i.imgur.com/sBzHj.png
For my purposes, I envision only one extra level of nesting. I don’t like the way WordPress discussions can turn into abominations of hierarchy. In my opinion StackOverflow has set an excellent standard already.
Yes, I was experimenting with the wordpress plugin (not the stand alone).
So the plugin doesn’t have a “register” page, (aside from sending them toa wordpress admin)?
Quick check: Are you using the bbPress WordPress plugin (currently at RC1) ? Or the stand-alone edition? I was talking about the WordPress plugin.
The plugin uses the WordPress login / register functions. There’s no separate register page for the forums.
I have wordpress, and I use the genesis (studiopress) framework. I REALLY like the look and feel of BBpress, but I was playing around with it and I noticed that it said “Theme does not support bbpress” or something like that on the admin page.
My question is this: Does the Genesis connect plugin fix this? Or is there special coding needed to make genesis (or a child theme) work with the BBpress platform?
I really wanted to keep my blog design the same, and BBpress would allow me to do this nicely, while adding an elegant (and simplistic) way for people to discuss topics.
Thanks!
m-jay: bbPress 2.0 plugins are plugins to WordPress, that interact with bbPress 2.0 (which is also a plugin of WordPress). These are listed on the plugin browser on WordPress Extend (what pimarts linked to above).
Some of these plugins will be related to the bbPress 1.x or below. But in the future, I see most of them being entirely for bbPress 2.0
bbPress 1.x or below plugins are listed on the plugin browser on https://bbpress.org/plugins/
Making a subdomain is the exact same process. It has nothing to do with bbPress and everything to do with your WordPress Network configuration. It’s all neatly laid out in the codex. This is for advanced users though.
If you just want the sub-domain for cosmetic reasons (i.e. it just looks tidier) that’s not really good enough reason to set up a network site. You have to realize that enabling Network comes with a lot of implications on how you can use and extend your WordPress site. For example, only a small percentage of the plugins in the WordPress repository have been tested and made to work in a Network environment.

No there isn’t. Not yet at least.
The plugins on this site are for bbpress 1.x
You can use the following link to find some plugins for bbpress 2.x (not all of the returned results will work though, so check them first if they’re actually for the 2.x plugin):
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress&sort=new
The top of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547, where it currently says Ticket #1547 (new enhancement), will change to Ticket #1547 (closed).
With the number of people waiting for this, including myself, I expect it to be pretty easy to tell when it’s ready.
Hi,
I’m not expert in BBPress. I like to build my new forum in BBPrss 2.0. In BBPrees 2.0, the functions are different from BBPrees 1X. Where I can find the function references like http://codex.wordpress.org/
Please give me the link.
New here!
I got all the way through installation last week and testing of bbpress within a protected WordPress site, and love the forum – I so appreciate the simplicity and ease of the thing, esp. for someone who has little experience with this sort of thing.
My only issue at this point is that once anyone is logged in and posts a reply or new topic, the updated reply/topic displays fine UNTIL returning to the main forum page at which point it is necessary to log out and then log back in to actually see the updates. Again, I’m so pleased with the forum itself, but this may be the thing that keeps my boss from letting the forum go live 
WP version is 3.1.4 and I’m using the forum as my home page of the blog. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks so much!
I’d suggest looking at using bbPress 2.0 within WordPress. bbPress 2.0 is pre-release now, but was expected to be gold when WP 3.2 came out. WP 3.2 was released on Monday, but I haven’t seen an update for bbPress 2.0. The standalone version (1.x) of bbPress is expected the same time bbPress 2.0 is released, but I haven’t followed the progress of that version.
A phpbb3 to bbPress 2.0 converter is in the works. The ticket for it is https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547. I’m guessing work on it will pick up once bbPress 2.0 goes gold. My understanding is the converter will keep usernames, passwords, and threads, but I don’t know about mail.
You will be able to fully customize the theme using either version of bbPress. Since I’d recommend using bbPress 2.0 inside WordPress, the relevant instructions are for creating WP themes (https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development) and adding bbPress compatibility (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility).
The Akismet antispam plugin is not running here. I’d suggest installing it as you develop your own solution because you may find it meets your needs.
You could try this plugin (I didn’t test it though):
