a Strange bug here :

I have bbpress as a plugin in WordPress ; both upadated to the most recent versions.

I also have S2Member plugin running (compatible with bbpress 2 plugin)

and buddyPress plugin, latest version. (bbpress forum component is disactivated,

because I dont know where to find the bb-config.php file in a bbpress plugin install ???)

My theme is Dynamix, (it is buddypress and bbpress compatible)

Now here is the problem :

I created all My forums and categories.

I’m happy with it, the tree is looking good, and I can navigate it !

BUT as soon as I post a New Topic, I can no longer navigate the Forums …

The URL in the browser’s adress bar is changing accordingly to my moves

BUT the only thing I can see is this topic that i posted !! …

If I clic a link back to the BLOG area of wordpress, I can see my posts correctly and navigate.

But if I clic again (or type an URL) on any of my Forums links, I am presented again with this TOPIC !!

Also … I have a link to my FAQ page (which is a normal wordpress PAGE)

and this link also brings me back to my infamous Topic (instead of displaying my FAQs) …

(although the URL is the FAQs URL …)

Now if I try to create more Topics, I will see only the first one I wrote …

And if I delete all Topics, everything is back to normal …

and I can see my Forums Navigation tree again (my FAQs as well) !

How crazy is that ?

Any Help appreciated.

Oversight. It used to work as part of the WordPress Tag Cloud widget, but that behavior may have changed.

Will fix for 2.0.

Assuming you have name based permalinks on you WP+BBP or bbPress-standalone installation:

On a standalone bbPress install a user’s profile is: /profile/master5o1

E.g. https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/master5o1

For bbPress 2.0 (the WP plugin) the user profiles at default are: /forums/users/master5o1/

Also perhaps /users/master5o1/, depending on settings.

E.g. http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/users/admin/

/wpbb/ = install directory for my WordPress + bbPress 2.0 testing site.

Basically, clicking the “member”/”key master”/etc link on standalone bbPress or the user’s username of bbPress 2.0 appears to take you to their profile.

[master5o1]

I’ve just made a post toolbar that works with bbPress 2.0, and extends a bit of kses in WP (adds <span style=""> and image posting support).

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

The toolbar looks like this with the Link panel open:

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/toolbar.png

(the Bold button in the screenshot has the :hover css applied)

Under help, one can reach an ‘About bbPress Post Toolbar’ panel which states the version of the and that I made it (but no link).

The extending of kses to allow <span style=””> in the allowable tags is necessary for the font sizing, colouring, underlining, strike-through, and text alignment.

The options page in WP Admin has the following:

Use customised smilies?

Yes No (default)

Allow embedding of Youtube videos?

Yes (default) No

Allow text-alignment buttons?

Yes No(default)

Allow images to be posted?

Yes No(default)

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

I have requested plugin hosting for WordPress Plugin Directory and I’m waiting for it to be approved, etc.

In the mean time, any comments and feedback from testing, etc would be help.

Hi, I am new to bbpress and relatively new to WordPress. I haveBBPress 1.0.3 installed and integrated with WordPress 3.1.2 but what now?! I know it’s integrated as I can add a user in bbpress and it appears in the Users area of WordPress as I believe it is meant to. The only thing is that when I look at my bbpress install here:

http://andrewsoames.com/footballdads/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-1.0.3/bbpress/

I don’t know what to do next!

All I see is the following with the bbpress logo:

“Just another bbPress community

Welcome, admin | Admin | Log Out

Search:

Hot Tags”

If I click on Admin I just get a blank page come up – there must be something wrong with the confihuration but I’ve no idea where to start – any ideas anyone? I should add that I’ve had a good look at previous threads and googled this but had no luck so far…Help!

Thanks in advance…

[mystifier]

Ah, thanks, I don’t use comments and assumed that avatars was a BBPress addition because there is no option to upload one in WordPress User Profile.

I also got rid of the “You may use…” with a list of html tags messages, that are more untidy than useful, which I could probably have also turned off somewhere as well then ?!

[John James Jacoby]

You can turn avatars off completely in your WordPress Discussion settings.

[John James Jacoby]

So… A few thoughts on this as of today. My opinion on this is probably easily swayed, but it’s what I think now so I’m gonna roll with it…

So topics and replies, are already hierarchical to each other; replies are children of their topic. Forums by their nature are meant to be focused topics of discussion. It’s possible that topics can grow very large in size, but the intent is to keep the conversation fairly linear. Any forking/branching/nesting of conversations most likely belongs in a separate topic.

But…

Since we’re using custom post types, we still have the whole comments API just laying around WordPress that we’re not using. If, you /really/ wanted to have threaded discussion, you could add comments to the post_type_supports for replies, and build a theme to make it work. This would allow all kinds of neat extra usages for comments that are semi-conventional to blog posts. Use comments as reply feedback, use them as “Like” comments, use them for hidden moderator notes, etc…

Lots of fun ideas come to mind. Comments were also the natural choice FOR replies, just like taxonomies were the natural choice for Forums/Categories, but since they all lack revisions, attachments, taxonomies, etc, I opted to use another post type for them and leave comments for plugin authors and developers to play around with.

[John James Jacoby]

@zhonghao – What version of WordPress are you using? Sounds like you’re using 3.0.

is_post_type_archive()

was introduced in 3.1, so it should be available.

That error won’t happen as a result of a BuddyPress conflict. Matter of fact, the two plugins should play nicely together. They have been both activated and running at testbp.org for some time now, with no issues.

Great to see BBPress as a WordPress Plug-in. It was a real pain trying to integrate WordPress and BBPress user accounts so I gave up.

It would be nice if there was a ‘Show Avatars’ option in settings. I wouldn’t use an external avatar site and, since WordPress users don’t have avatars, it would be good not to show empty boxes everywhere.

[laughmaster]

OK I was changing the background color and everything went well. Then I decided to look at a category to see what it looks like. When I went to a category all I saw was the description and something that said “edit this entry”. No “new post” or anything like I expected. Am I missing something?

[laughmaster]

I could have swore I tried that. LOL Well i feel completely stupid. Thank you greatly. Now I would like to change some of the background colors to make the categories appear more separate. It is hard to see the difference right now.

[Andre]

Going to http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forums (with an s) will take you to your forum. You can change it at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress.

Hi there,

I would like to know if there is a way to import a forum into a page instead of a post? For example, there is a poll plugin for WordPress that allows you to place a poll in the page using [poll id=”3″] tags.

Is this at all possible with bbPress? I’m using the latest WordPress as well as the latest bbPress plugin.

I feel that if this feature does not already exist, it should be implemented in the next release (Please)

Regards,

[pukkafish]

Hello,

I have a website based on WordPress.

And I have installed bbPress.

My aim is to have a single ‘scrolling’ page.

My question is how I can ‘run’ the forum in a <div> ; which will be in my page.php theme of my wordpress website?

Thank you

Hi to translate the Forum bbPress WordPress plug-in –

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

download translation (.mo) from here:

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages

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

and put it here:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/bbpress-bg_BG.mo

MAY NOT NEED to set Anywhere (wp-config.php)

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘bg_BG’);

It works for me.

[laughmaster]

I installed bbpress through wordpress yesterday. I think I have everything installed correctly but I have a problem (so obviously something is wrong). I thought that if I added “forum” to the end of my site address if would show the forums. That basically takes me to a 404 page. But if I go directly to one of the categories it kind shows up. What I mean by that is that it is not a 404 page, but not quite the forums either. Hard to explain. So I will leave it alone for now and just include links to the two places and you can see for yourself and hop hopefully know what is going on.

Just to the “forum”= http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forum

To a category in the forums= http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forum/jokes/

Have any of you tried importing large/medium sized bbPress 0.9/1.0 forums into bbPress 2.0? If so, did the migration go successfully, or were there a few hiccups in getting the data to port in one chunk?

I attempted to migrate a reasonably big forum this afternoon and it didn’t go particularly well. It threw an error (can’t remember what it said – need to attempt again) and locked me out of WordPress. The automated database backup worked well, so I was able to get it back up and working just fine though.

There’s around 115,000 posts and 44,000 users in the forum I was attempting to migrate.

[Ryan Hellyer]

I doubt there will ever be a private messaging system specifically for bbPress 2.0. Since it is a WordPress plugin itself, it makes far more sense to make a private messaging plugin for WordPress, rather than bbPress specfically since they would presumably work in exactly the same way.

The BuddyPress route that JJJ suggested above seems like the best option to me. There’s probably a bit of extra junk you need to load in the process, but BuddyPress is a known and well developed product so you at least know it will work well and won’t be riddled with security holes which was a problem with the original bbPress private messaging plugins.

Hi guys, im new to BBPress but very impressed seeing it working in action on other sites.

I recently purchased a theme from themify.me (a really good builder of wordpress theme’s an loads more.

I installed BBPress onto the new theme (now this guy uses BBPress on his themify.me site and works a charm so his themes should be compatible he said.

The problem im experiencing is that the main forum looks correct and the right size but the sub forums and the topics are all crushed up over the left side of the screen and ive no idea why. There is no custom coding here so im clueless?

Here are some screen shots, can somebody point me in the right directions please?

Cheers

Steve

you can assing a quota to users, if you just want admins just assign a quota to them and disable the quota to the others…see the screenshot:
