Hi all,

I have just successfully dabbled with BBPress and installed with my WordPress install. Yippee!

What I really need is the right plugin that not only notifies any forum admins that a new post has been lodged, but will also notify the member who lodged the post when his post has had a reply.

I have tried a few out there and I cant seem to find one that does both of these functions which seem like a pretty basic design feature IMHO.

Hello,

I want to make it work both my wordpress blog and bbpress should 1 login with facebook connect.

I just trying with this way:

In wordpress plugin I installed Facebook Connect: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-connect/

In bbpress plugin I installed Simple Facebook Connect: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/

I have read the readme Installation guide, and install it without any error notice.

In my wordpress blog it works well. But not in my bbpress.

If I’m connected as facebook user in wordpress, in bbpress I should click Facebook connect, and the result is:

Error: an user account with the email address ’email @ address’ already exists.

Note: email @ address is a valid email, I just didn’t want to show it here.

More Info: I’m using database integration for wordpress and bbpress, so it is in the same database name access.

So, what should I do?

Which is the best solution for this issue?

Thank You.

Hi everyone. I am very happy to see there is again certain activity in the future of bbPress and that the “plugin version” is already release in alpha.

I understand much has been put into it and I’ve seen Gautam’s converter script.

We have and old forum we managed to convert to bbPress 1 hooked together with a WordPress installation (2. but we got stack with the theming integration and it was never released. We now want to go ahead with the project but we are a bit uncertain which route to go with.

I would really appreciate from developers or someone who’s had the experience comments on:

– bbPress have a long tradition of “working alphas” is this the case again? I mean can I consider now that once beta and final version are released it won’t mean reconverting everything again from scrath?

– would I better off waiting for the final release and importer, specially if we plan to integrate buddypress on this installation afterwards.

Many thanks in advance and thanks to the development team for maintaining the project.

Don’t use “add_theme_support()” unless your theme actually supports it.

add_theme_support() doesn’t automatically add bbPress support to your theme, but the opposite – it tells WordPress and bbPress that your theme already supports bbPress. If you don’t have a /bbpress folder in your theme full of bbPress template files, then your theme does not support bbPress.

There isn’t a core updater yet, but there will be soon. These questions are all answered numerous times in the sticky topic at the front of these forums.

1. Thanks, that was my initial thought.

2. Where can I find this bbPress plugin and is it an official plugin by the creators of bbPress, or the community?

3. When you say “anything of WordPress to be shown in bbPress”, what does that actually include?

Thanks for the reply Gautam.

@jjj – I must say I’m incredibly impressed with bbPress, and what you have here. I eagerly want to use the bbPress / BuddyPress plugin combo in conjunction with a few wordpress sites that I work on.

Do you have any idea what a rough timeframe on launching the plugin would be?

Also, what could I do to help move the process along? I don’t code myself but I do work with guys that do. We figure its a waste of time to get a bbPress standalone working only to have the plugin released soon after.

[John James Jacoby]

@tooltrainer – Possibly, but not for the first release. The way WordPress handles this is by pre-saving drafts, which means we’d need to build draft support into user profiles too. Not impossible, but would need to be thought through.

The header that I am using is a modified version of the default theme header file that came with wordpress. It should be in the same location and called by the same name as the default header file. I am sort of a noob at code but I thought because my header file appears at on the index/home page when the website loads that things were working. By “appropriate call to” do you mean the “get_header” php command?

Secondly, the entire theme is located in the wp-content folder within a default theme sub folder. That is why there is no reference. Again, I am probably really confused by what you mean so it is probably something I am doing wrong.

The entire site may be a hack job, because it is my first, but up to this point everything has worked flawlessly, including all of my plugins.

I suspect there is a simple solution to preventing the WP css from overriding bbP css but I haven’t figured it out yet.

[John James Jacoby]

@Daily Anarchist – Your theme doesn’t use a conventional WordPress header, and it’s missing the appropriate call to

wp_head();

which is how WordPress themes load dynamic content in the

<head>

of the page.

There is also no reference anywhere in your source to a wp-content folder, which is where your theme and any related plugins should be loading from. With something that’s this outside of the norm, you’re going to run into lots of incompatibilities with many plugins as you go. I’m actually pretty happy that bbPress looks as good as it does considering there’s no CSS applied to it at all.

As a general note going forward to everyone, if you have site specific questions please post up new topics and tag them ‘plugin’ so that we keep this sticky focused on the bbPress plugin, and not supporting your sites. Thanks

Hello!

I just installed the plugin because I couldn’t wait any longer. So far I haven’t found any glitches. It seems to work quite nicely and fits into the rest of my website as if it were just another page.

The only problem I see with it right now is aesthetics. It looks terrible on my website. I suppose that is because it is being governed by the same css that governs the rest of my website’s content.

I am hoping that I can either do something right now to make it match better, or that something will get done in the future to make it match better. For example, here is a single post:

http://dailyanarchist.com/2011/05/10/the-success-story-of-sovereign-curtis/

and here is an example of a forum post:

http://dailyanarchist.com/topic/hello-daily-anarchists/

I am hoping one day to make the forum post look just like, or at least a lot like, the single post.

Is it possible for me to do now? Or do I need to wait?

Secondly, I haven’t figured out how to transfer a forum post to the blog, or single post yet. Can somebody clue me in on how to do that?

Lastly, I read somewhere that the plugins for the standalone version of bbpress are not compatible with the plugin. Understandable. But is this true also for WordPress plugins? For example, I am running a Gravatar plugin for wordpress and would really like to have gravatars for my forum section. Is this a no go? Also, will there ever be plugins FOR the plugin? How would that work?

Thanks for the plugin and for all of the help!

They will be treated as normal WordPress plugins, that need to built to hook in to bbPress specifically. Similar to BuddyPress plugins.

Which folder should the bbpress plugin go into that is meant to plug in to the bbpress plugin for wordpress?

[rbertolani]

I would also like to be able to embed an entire bbpress forum right into a page on my wordpress site. Is the plugin available yet?
