Im kinda new to all this

[Pornatu]

Whilst I want to integrate BBpress to WordPress, I don’t want to run BBpress on the same WordPress database, having said that I still want to allow my registered users to connect to it. Can this be achievable?

I can imagine my database filling up pretty quickly with hundreds of thousands of messages, so is there anyway to split them? but still have the users from the main wp site connect to the bbpress database.

Perhaps some sort of “Sync” feature, those members who want to access the forums, will trigger a function that syncs the account with bbpress or something, or make bbpress fetch the auth details from main wp site.

Anyone with me? just like wordpress and bbpress.org seems that accounts are in sync

I would like topics to only show in the forum they are posted in. However, they are currently showing in ALL forums.

I’m running bbPress 2.3.2 with WordPress 3.5.1 with the Headway Base theme.

I’ve tried deactivating all other plugins, but that didn’t make any difference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

I want to change the Output of the “Recent post” to make it similar as simple-press. Like this:
Forum: Forum Title
Topic: Topic Title
by: Author – Time

I found the code for widgets at:
bbpress/common/widgets.php

But I am afraid that if I changed this, it would be overwritten by the next bbpress update. Any ideas if I can I have a “child widget” or something?

Thanks

Hi,

I installed the bbpress plugin for WordPress. I have a static front page (“Home”), and my posts display on another page (“Blog”). I added a menu option to myblog.com/forum, where the forum is displayed. Everything works fine, except that when I am anywhere on the forum, the “Blog” button is highlighted, and not the “Forum” button. On the root forums page, both buttons are highlighted.

If I remove the “Blog” page from the Posts page option (Settings | Reading), the “Blog” button is never highlighted. The Forum button is highlighted when I am on the root Forums page, but nowehere else in the Forums. (So it looks to me that something gets confused with my Forum and Blog).

I also tried linking an actual forum (not the root page as a link). This results in the same behaviour, except now relative to the specific forum page, not the root. (For example, if I am on the specific forum page, the button is highlighted, but not when I am in a topic. If I set my page of posts to “Blog”, the “Blog” buttons is highlighted when I am anywhere on the Forum).

I have a feeling I may be missing something really simple. I searched on this forum, and it seems others do not have such issues. I’d appreciate any help; thanks!

Hi again,

Is there any solution on this? I think this is a bug of bbpress as this issue doesn’t occur in buddypress or wordpress.

[xmasons]

Add this into your functions.php

function disable_our_feeds() {
	wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
}
 
add_action('bbp_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1); // Disables BBPress feeds
add_action('do_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss2', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_atom', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);

I have now deleted the pages that were to be integrated with the forum pages and attempted to start over. Now when I create a page to match the forum it places a -2 on the end of the name:
Example: mysite/classifieds and mysite/classified-2.
I do not have pages in the trash and I do not have any revisions either. I can not change the -2 slug to correct the inconsistency; it just replaces the -2.

Is anyone home here?

[rsbenedict]

Thanks! I”m going to have to go a different route altogether.

[Robin W]

sorry to hear that.

Cannot suggest anything else – hope someone else will come along and help !

[rsbenedict]

That’s a whole other install of another forum and that will screw up that forum. It’s not easy to change it. It’s totally installed under that subdomain and changing it would require 1000s of mysql changes. Not worth the trouble.

[Robin W]

Can only suggest you try it in the base ie change your current forum page, and try it witgh forums as the web address.

[Justinvarnes]

First off, I’m an idiot when it comes to this stuff but I’m trying to learn.

I’m not sure where I went wrong, but iI have both Simple: Press and bb_press as plugins. I want to import my Simple:Press forum to the bbPress forum and delete Simple:Press. I tried following these instructions:

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

But when I tried to do the conversion, I didn’t know where to find the name of the database info, so I left it blank.

Tried the conversion anyway and it said there are no topics, forums, users, etc to convert.

Where can I find the name of the database, etc so I can fill that form out correctly OR..

Is that even what I should be doing?

Thanks in Advance!

[maoutdoors]

I am pursuing the noted issue as if it is a conflict between titles, slugs, etc; but I am just not able to find the solution.

[rsbenedict]

Yes, that’s correct. They have nothing to do with each other and I did set the base to iiforums.

Everything works fine for me, the administrator, but anyone else has issues.

[neurodancer]

I just got my WordPress site marginally working and I need forum software.

I am looking at Mingle, Simple, and bbPress.

bbPress seemed a good choice because it was supposedly easy to install and was done by the WP team and has nice features.

bbPress is anything but easy to install when it comes to themes. The instructions I found are almost universally out of date.

Are there no themes for bbPress ready to install and modify? I can’t find anything, and none of the intructions/guilds I have found so far help or work.

I am using Suffusion right now, and I just want bbPress to use its style.

[neurodancer]

I am having the same issues.

They say bbpress has simple and easy as its advantages, but I don’t see that. Nearly every other forum program is easier.

However bbpress has a lot of nice plugins and features so I’d like to use it.

So far I’ve made zero progress after some days making it look nice in my dark Suffussion theme.

[Robin W]

Caming,

Given that you work in digital marketing for a living, I would have thought that you understood the difference between being paid for something, and getting it for free.

BBpress is FREE – if you want instant support – go pay for something, otherwise accept that this FREE software, with non-instant support provided for by a community who try to help and improve the FREE product – you know then one you didn’t pay for.

Yes it’s really great of you to flag up security flaws, that is the COMMUNITY thing to do, and thanks for doing that.

Finally I think you should seriously consider some anger management course, it’s not good for your blood pressure 🙂

Schmoo, presume you mean this forum https://bbpress.org/forums/ – try coming here direct rather than via bbpress.org and let us know if that makes a difference.

[Robin W]

Normally bbpress looks for it’s forum under the website followed by “forums”, but you’ve got that link allocated to Mybb software.

I presume your forums base in settings is set to “iiforums” ?

[arohmann]

I can confirm this issue, and I believe it to be a bug with how forum threads are looked up. Perhaps one of the team here can confirm the issue?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a thread using greek characters
2. Right click, and “copy link” then paste in new tab. This WORKS.
3. Now copy the URL directly out of the address bar and paste in new tab. This DOESN’T WORK

The difference I’m seeing is that the outputted forum URLs are encoded using lowercase a-f characters, but if you copy from the address bar (depending on browser or OS) the encoding letters are A-F uppercase.

For example:
ce%bf – accepted by bbPress and given the correct page
CE%BF – goes to 404

Normal WordPress pages can handle either just fine.

I’ve tested this for a bit and got the same results in both Chrome and Firefox on OS X. It really looks like a bug where bbPress can’t tell the difference, or it’s not an exact match. Either way, this could be a big issue! To users, the links look exactly the same, and they can have issues sharing links.

Thanks! Hoping to get some more feedback here.

Best regards

Hi,
I have wordpress with version 3.4.2 and Buddypress Version 1.6.1 and bbPress version 2.2.3.
I have installed BuddyPress Moderation version 0.16. I have integrated it to group page and member profile page but is it possible to implement it on forum topic posts?

[edwardbarker]

Any ideas at all?

Ok simple question. Can anybody tell my what MySQl table the “imported” data is held in when I migrate from 1.2 to 2.3 using the BBpress importer tool?

Thanks

Ed

[rsbenedict]

I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 with bbpress plugin 2.3.2.

Although I have users already registered, those users cannot login to bbpress. When they go to the default forum page, it gives the wp login page and then when they add in their credentials, it just redirects back to the same page stating they must be logged in to see the page.

They have the roll of participant and I’ve even downloaded the members plugin and added all of the participant functions to the subscriber roll yet still the same issue.

The only person who can view the forum is the administrator.

Any ideas? I’ve been trying to fix this now for hours and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve searched the web and haven’t found any solutions except for installing the member plugin, but still, it has no effect.

I’d hate to have to use another forum software, but if I can’t get this to work, I’ll have no other recourse.

website is http://teachforjune.com and forum page is http://teachforjune.com/iiforums

Thanks!

Hello,

I am currently using Simple:Press for my website’s forum, but I am not satisfied because they have made it so that one must pay for a monthly membership to gain access to plugins such as an image uploader or font options. After doing some research, I have decided that I would like to switch to bbPress for my website’s forum, but I am not quite sure how to do this.

I am not a programmer, so I am wondering if it is simple enough for me to do or if I would have to hire someone to do it for me? I want to import my theme and all of the posts from my forums to bbPress. Is this difficult to do?

I need the forum to be limited to members only for posting, and I want there to be the ability for users to insert images and format text.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions as I am a complete newbie!

Thanks!
