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!

There are a few plugins available in WordPress plugin repository for bbPress Plugin. You may search by tag as bbpress.

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?
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?

@CrownOfMars – Try the latest revision and let me know if it’s fixed for you. Was a regression from fixing something else.
@Rick Lewis – You haven’t started over, because you still have a custom theme. It looks to me like you still have
add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
in your custom theme, even though you don’t have any bbPress files in your custom theme to actually provide bbPress support.
Using the add_theme_support() method is what tells bbPress not to use its own internal files, and just let WordPress do its thing and figure it out. In that case, bbPress will follow the normal template hierarchy for WordPress (archive.php, index.php, etc…)
So you either…
- Copy the bbPress files out of the bbp-twentyten folder into your custom theme and use the add_theme_support() method, which allows you to use page templates.
- Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed.
- Create your own completely custom method of handling bbPress, which is possible to do but way more work than it’s probably worth doing unless you need something *really* tricked out.
1. No, you should install it in a sub-directory like forums. If you install it in the same dir, then their might be conflicting urls.
2. You’d need to port the theme yourself. There is no theme compat. (Though the new under-development bbPress plugin has that)
3. If you don’t want anything of WordPress to be shown in bbPress (ie. by using WP functions), then no. It would add extra load.

Thanks bbklo. I think I must have misunderstood your original dilemma. The solution for me was to change the defined cookie path within wp-config.php from define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ) to define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpress’ )
Now I am no longer logged out when switching between the two. For a little insight WP & BB are installed at mysite/wordpress and mysite/bbpress
Anyway… thank you. I’m pretty new to this stuff but trying to wrap my head around it.

go to /forum/ page, and log out, than log in first in /forum/ not in wp. this solved, now I can access admin page.

bbklo – What was your solution to being logged out when switching between WP and BB?

Hello ^^ Im new here and ppbress looks interesting..
I tested a Mingle Forum for the beginning and its still cool but bbpress looks better.
I would ask if it possible that , if i write a comment on my wordpress blog, then it will write a forum reply automatic. of course, if i write a forum reply it will show as a comment on my wordpress site ( article )
Of course, that if write a Article, it will automaticly add a Thread in the forum, + comments/ replys…
sorry for the English, ^^”
and thanks for the help

@CrownOfMars – Looks like depending on how your forums are setup, that WordPress is doing some canonical redirecting. I’ll see what I can do to prevent that from happening here.
@CrownOfMars – There is no need for a ‘/forums’forum’ page, and it should be redirecting to a 404 page, using your 404.php template file. Because a forum is of the post type ‘forum’ that’s how WordPress knows what kind of content to serve up, what template to use, etc…
I am having this same problem. When I integrated by WordPress and bbpress, I lost access to my bb-admin. I believe it’s because I forgot to specify my user roles. I am searching for a fix.
I’ve tried completely removing by bbPress install and re-doing it, to no avail.
And I can’t even find a file called “wp_usermeta” in my WordPress database.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Yes Yes, I’m sure!
I don’t know how to do, and I can not do many tests because the forum is very active.
One idea that occurred to me is to make copies of the databases and delete everything and start from scratch without the integration of wordpress, but I have all users actually on wordpress, and I have no idea how to pass the users from wordpress to bbpress.
Would greatly appreciate your ideas
many thanks
