2- Upload the uncompressed files to your server

to vague for a newbie, when i first used a ftp program years ago to install wordpress i thougt “so many directories…where on heart i’m supposed to put wordpress?”

it takes times to learn…

[jtdesigns02]

Thanks. I thought it was a wordpress plugin. Does it have its own admin or can you run it through wordpress?

[zaerl]

bbPress is not a WordPress plugin but it’s a standalone software.

I do not see a clear step by step list of instructions on how to do this. Anyone?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/ on this site.

[Ricardo]

you have to upload the bbpress folder to the server root where the wp-config.php file is along with all 3 wordpress directories, upload it there and then visit

http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress

[jtdesigns02]

Where do I place the bbpress folder after I download.

I thought it would go into the plugins folder within my current wordpress install. Nothing is showing up inside wrodpress admin. Please help.

Do I have to go to a unique URL to active something. http://www.example/com/blog/wp-content/plugins/”example”

I do not see a clear step by step list of instructions on how to do this. Anyone?

I have never used bbpress before and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Thank you for the replies.

Here is a Filezilla screenshot showing my WordPress root directory (also the root directory of my site), with the subdirectory “forum” being the directory with the bbpress files:

http://klinewedding.com/images/wp_root.jpg

And here is what my forum (bbpress) directory looks like:

http://klinewedding.com/images/bbpress_install.jpg

Here are my WordPress permalink settings:

http://klinewedding.com/images/permalink_settings.jpg

And here is my .htacess file:

http://klinewedding.com/images/htaccess.jpg

The odd thing is that I got BBPress up and running a few weeks ago on another site (on another host) just fine. I figure it’s got to be that I’m doing something stupid, or this host has something strange with their settings.

Thanks again for your help.

bb-lover, I closed your topic because it is WordPress specific and asking _ck_ for help specifically. You should post at wordpress.org or any of the other WordPress-specific help sites, or try contacting _ck_ directly at her site bbshowcase.org.

Closing this topic because it too has turned WordPress-specific as well.

Hello.

Thank you for the suggestion, I wish I could but I cannot afford one now, or in the near future for that matter. The reasons are too complicated to explain here.

Anyway, I’m using this plugin with my wordpress site, and since I really like it, I would like to fit it into my website. I hope that I’m not too old for this, since I’ve never done anything like it before.

So, if there’s anyone out there with some suggestions (or some reading material) I would appreciate it.

[zememe]

I just instaled bbpress forum and i’m having problems with new user registration. I use iblogpro forum with iblogpro wordpress, i deep integrated wordpress and bbpress but i don’t share user between wp and bb ’cause i don’t alow any kind on coments on site or wp registration, i have separate databases for wp and bb, and everything works fine, but when i try to register like a new user i allways get “Email is required” but every time I input correct mail example name@gmail.com?

[caseystubbs]

vasbinder that is great work! I just got bbpress and I am not using it yet because i want to put it on my site just like you did. I dont do coding can you help me get it to look like yours.

I think I am going to replace the webinars tab on the menu and replace it with forums.

Thanks

can’t help you porting it to wordpress but i have a suggestion for you:

WP-captcha free

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-captcha-free/

its the one i use and it doesnt require any action from the user.

its very clever how it works…i’ll try to explain…

a normal form for comments has 3 fields, all spam bots automatically fill all 3, what this pluggin does is addding a fourth field only visible to spam bots, if the fourth box id filled it automatically means its been made by an automated spam bot and that coment its blocked… at least its how i understand it works but i might be confused with another one.

Try it, visitors don’t like math problems etc.

Edit: it seems you want to block spammers from the registration form… don’t know if this pluggin works when a user tries to register.

[bb-lover]

I don’t know why my this topic is closed without any reason.

@Moderators: Did I say something wrong?

@_ck_ I think this plugin is for only comments?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/

I need simple math captcha plugin for wordpress registration form, like Human Test for bbPress.

If you are not interested then other developers are welcome here and their help would be appreciated.

But if someone else wants to convert it they are more than welcome.

If anyone else want this plugin please ask in this topic.

I’m hoping this topic will not be closed if any Mod don’t like it.

Thanks,

bb-lover

Hi everyone!

Ive been playing with some forum software/scripts and i would like to ask the bbpress/wordpress coummunity some questions/opinions on this.

I’ve tested bbpress and so far i can see its a very lightweight forum system, it integrates nicely with wordpress, it doesnt have many functions the competition has but in my opinion most of them are really not needed and make the forum heavy on server resources.

Having said this here’s the questions?

1- Spammers – How’s the protection/management on this, is there a way of bulk deleting spammers or keeping them “at bay”?

2- Translation – i’ve been trying to translate bbpress but the info on how to do it is mostly wordpress as the process is very similar…so i looked in to online translation tools but none of them have bbpress as a project…not even Glotpress itself…i know there are desktop tools but for example i tried poedit and i only want to translate what the user sees not the admin panel, but it seems i have to copy every line to the translated section…there isnt a method to copy all strings and then edit the ones i want, i would take me a while doing it one by one and my professional life doesnt allow me, im sure more are interested in this and adding bbpress to glotpress would be a good idea as “everyone” could “chip in”.

3- search engines – some of the traffic to forums are made by search engines but unlike the competition bbpress doesnt have a method to manage them, the last forum script i tried was mybb and it has a whole section dedicated to bots and their permissions. Can this be overcomed in bbpress with a simple sitemap? the way i see it a sitemap only has urls not the content… if i keep the forum readble to everyone will the sitemap be enough, the way i see it the bot finds the url in the sitemap and then crawls the pages for content, i think this is enough.

4- Besides bbpress what other forum scripts would you recommend, personnaly mybb and fluxbb caught my eye and seem very lightweight, also i noticed the wp-foum pluggin as been forked into the WP Forum Server, one of the things i like on a forum is the ability to have a name based permalink like wordpress and bbpress, i find this feature very usefull as people can see by the words on the url (hovering mouse above link) what the link is about.

I know its a lot of questions but any info even if little is apreciated.

Thanks

[Ricardo]

Thanks for bringing this up _CK_

I tried 3 times with different nicks and emails (over 3 weeks) and no luck, i’m using my wordpress.org forum account to post here, also i didnt find any contact to report the situation, why not a forum where everyone can writte or ask for help without registering?

[Ricardo]

Hi everyone!

I´ve just installed bbpress and the nicer permalink pluggin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/), it works but it kind of messes up the sitemap, ive tried 2 sitemap pluggins and same result

for example the topic url is:

mydomain/forum/mytopic.html

but the sitemap url is:

mydomain/forum//mytopic.html (double // before the individual topic permalink)

Can anyone tell me if im doing something wrong or check if its the pluggin fault?

i deactivated the nicer permalink plugin, added a dummy post to refresh the sitemap and voilá the url is correct without “//”, i guess its the pluggin fault here.

think i might have found something in the nice-filters.php file, altough im no expert it seems the error comes from here, but i think its a fix from someone, so removing the “/” will break something..

function get_forum_nicer_link( $link ) {

global $bb;

// Remove redundant "forum" word from forum link and append '/'. Mandatory! Props: Mohta

return str_replace( $bb->uri . 'forum/', $bb->uri, $link ) . '/';

heres my forum (test) url: http://www.ricardouk.com/forums/

and my sitemap url: http://www.ricardouk.com/forums/sitemap.xml

Thank you

Original post started here: (someone should take a look at the registrations here as i’ve been unable to register, so far i tried 3 times until CK told me i could use the wordpress.org forums account over here)

I probably won’t be working on WordPress anymore, at least I hope.

But if someone else wants to convert it they are more than welcome.

I find it hard to believe with the dozens of captcha plugins for WP, none can satisfy you. How about this one?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/

[bb-lover]

Hi _ck_

I hope you’ll be fine. I always praise your work that’s why I was really happy when you came back to bbPress.

I know this question is not related to bbPress. But I need your co-operate.

I am looking the Simple Math Captcha Plugin for My WordPress.

Yes there are lot of captcha plugins, like Sabre, Register Plus.

But they are really complicated. I need simple solution, like Human Test for bbPress.

Humble Request: Can You please convert this plugin for WordPress.

I hope, Once again you’ll give me a chance to praise your work.

Thanks, and God Bless You Always and All The Ways.

bb-Lover

Someone just contacted me and said they tried a few times but cannot register here.

I’m sending them over to http://wordpress.org to try registering there first but I wanted to see if there have been any new registration here or maybe it’s akismet blocking them.

There’s no way to tell if there have been any new registrations lately via admin here so I figured I’d ask if anyone noticed we are missing new users.

[Syrehn]

I recently installed bbpress and completed deep integration using the:

bbpress integration 1.0 wordpress plugin and the zaerl wordpress 3 fix plugn.

everything appears to be running ok,

when i’m in the admin panel on the dashboard screen, it’s posting the following errors at the top:

Warning: Division by zero in /support/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 214



Warning: Division by zero in /support/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 194



Warning: Division by zero in /support/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 174



Warning: Division by zero in /support/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 244

i’m not sure what caused this, and i’m not sure how to get rid of it or if it’s even affecting anything?

anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

bbPress still deleted from Wikipedia

bbPress’s article was deleted for a SECOND time a year later.

Someone had re-created a quality article in late 2009 and it was deleted again in February 2010 (originally first deleted in 2008).

buddyPress only has a couple thousand installs and bbPress has ten thousand.

Yet buddyPress’s article remains.

It’s politics and it’s stupid.

Hello.

Is there a way in which I can adapt this plugin to bbpress?

The plugin contains three files:

wp_tooltip_plugin.php

wp_tooltip_script.js

wp_tooltip_style.css

Now, I think that the .js and .css do not need any tempering with, only the .php.

I would like to attempt the conversion on my own, but I need some information though. On top of that, the plugin is written in Spanish, not that it should matter that much I guess.

This is what I would like to know:

1. The bbpress equivalents for these variables (I’m translating them with Google):$post_content, $Instance, $toothpick (??). I think I can figure out the rest.

2. Filters: for wp the_content

3. Action: for wp head.

4. Function: get_option(“siteurl”).

At the moment the plugin gives me no error, but also no facility.

Regards,

Bob

Will the new bbPress be able to support co-authors?

Apparently this here is the most commonly used co-authoring plugin, and it reportedly works with 3.0. I’ll test it myself soon.
