Ok, completely new to WP. Wanted a website with a forum…so thought this was my best bet.
Have installed bbPress. Have created forums. My forums are shown on my link but not http://mywebsite.co.uk/forums, instead it’s http://mywebsite.co.uk/post_type=forum
I did some digging around…apparently I’m to change my permalinks…but when I change them my forum disappears and I get an error –
Not Found
The requested URL /forums/forum/general-discussion/ was not found on this server.
Not sure why it’s got forums/forum??
Anyway…I’ve been trying in vain to add a forum “tab” on my home page, so that people can click the forum tab to take them to the forum home page.
I tried adding a Menu…but it says that the theme only supports one menu. (I have Home) So I did a custom link, dragged it over to the home menu…but nothing changes on my home page.
I’ve seen another saying to create a page and use a bbPress template in the drop down to link the page to the forum…except I don’t have any bbPress templates in the drop down, only “default template”, £ront page template” and “full width page template, no side bar”.
All I’m trying to do is add a forum tab to my home page…so it reads “Home…Forum” etc… Is this not doable?
bbPress 2.3 will come with an improved TinyMCE experience, similar to what you see here at bbPress.org.
Hi. I have just migrated my Buddypress legacy Group forums to bbPress using the guide here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/
and forums seem to be working
I tried out the GD BBpress tools and quote/signature function is not working
Can anyone please give some tips?

Many thanks in advance
Thanks again Jared!!
It turns out we were using the old textarea method for displaying the reply form in our template. Doh!
I’d really love a tutorial on how to include custom Bootstrap themes such as these in Firmasite.
Did you check http://theme.firmasite.com/child-theme/?
I looked into your themes folder and noticed that those themes (BootSwatch themes like Amelia, Cerulean etc.) are all simple css files, whereas these admin themes are complete templates with a bunch of assets of their own, so I’m guessing it’s not quite as straight forward as dropping a folder in the right place.
Bootstrap’s css is just 1 file which is enough but its minimum requirement. No one is stopping you to add additional css files or new php/css/js components. You can think FirmaSite as a main clean theme that supports additional features on child-themes. For example i am working on a premium real estate child-theme that is using FirmaSite as main theme 🙂
bbPress won’t even allow me to post a single link, what’s up with that? Anyways, the “admin styles” I’m referring to are over here:
wrapbootstrap dot com/themes/admin
I’ve been looking at various Bootstrap themes, and I’m starting to realize that the admin style convention is exactly what I’m after for my community site. Plastique and Perfectum are strong contenders.
I’d really love a tutorial on how to include custom Bootstrap themes such as these in Firmasite. The big question is whether this is in the “either you know how to do it already, or it’s gonna be out of your comfort zone anyways” category or not.

Nope, there is no plugin for sitemap which support bbpress however the WPMU.org have created a sitemap plugin especially for bbPress. But the problem is that the plugin is premium. which I can’t afford.
Is it possible to link a bbPress category forum to a BuddyPress group?
I want to use the better organisation available with the sitewide forum structure of:
– category
– – subforum
– – subforum
– – subforum
– – etc
I’ve tried creating a category with the same name as a group, adding sub-forums to the category and then run Tools -> Forums -> Repair -> Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships, but it doesn’t link it to the group.
Thank you!!
WordPress Multisite V3.5.1
BuddyPress V1.7
bbPress V2.2.4
Using define(‘WPLANG’, ‘nb_NO’); in /wp-config.php
/wp-content/languages/nb-NO.mo
/wp-content/languages/nb_NO.po
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.mo
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.po
It looks like ‘most’ of what strings have been translated is working correctly.
Where did you fetch the translation from?
Using `define(‘WPLANG’, ‘nb_NO’);` in /wp-config.php
`/wp-content/languages/nb-NO.mo`
`/wp-content/languages/nb_NO.po`
`/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.mo`
`/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.po`
It looks like ‘most’ of what strings have been translated is working correctly.
What is in your wp-config?
In wp-config I’ve set the same language as I’m trying to get bbPress in, nb_NO
The Norwegian WordPress forums doesn’t help much in this problem I’m sorry, some of them had the same problem before but they never came up with a solution. Also, the posts is old, and it seems a lot of directories has changed since then.
Is there anything here that will help?

What is in your wp-config?
Hmmm…. Looking at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
Takes me here …https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Bokm.C3.A5l_.28nb_NO.29
Now I presume we should be using nb_NO thus bbpress-nb_NO.po & bbpress-nb_NO.mo
Try uploading the files names above to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and ensure as per your example above that the bbpress folder is not spelled with a capital P (i.e. NOT bbPress, just bbpress)
Yeah the folder name for bbpress had a capital, I changed it but it made no difference.

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vBulletin/
What version of vBulletin are you converting from?
What part is it stuck on or is it just not starting?
That is the key is to ensure you have the correct values for each of these:
Select Platform – vBulletin
Database Server IP or hostname
Database Port Use default 3306 if unsure
Database Name Name of the database with your old forum data
Database User User for your database connection
Database Password Password to access the database
Table Prefix
Have a look in your vBulletin config file which should be in your vb install /includes/config.php
Hi, I’ve searched around the web for some hours now and hopefully I’ll get the correct answer from you.
I need to translate the plugin bbPress into Norwegian, I’ve fetched the translation from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/nb/default and made sure every string is there with the .po editing software Poedit. I’ve downloaded both .po and .mo file for the Norwegian translation.
Norwegian is activated generally as WordPress language already.
So the problem is the localization and naming of the files, I’ve tried different directories and names:
wp-content/languages/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbPress/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbPress/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-langauge-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-langauge-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-plugin-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-plugin-nb_NO.po and .mo
None of them seems to work, what is the correct localization and naming?
Excellent news… It can all look the same when your in the back end of stuff 🙂
In the next release of bbPress version 2.3 users can link to images by default but to actually upload images you will need to install a plugin to support this. I know of one plugin that does this but there maybe more… https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
My site is, http://www.forgreenpeas.com.
And here’s my setup…
Wordpress: 3.5.1
Theme: TwentyTwelve
Buddypress: 1.7
bbPress: 2.2.4
I’ve done a clean install of everything. (via FTP)
I’ve created a forum with one topic.
When I go to the forums index page, all I see is…
“Index of /forums”
I’ve tried creating a “Forums” page (with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]), but I always get the same result when I go to that page.
Another thing to note is that the individual forums show up fine, as you can see here…
http://www.forgreenpeas.com/forums/forum/group-forums/
Also, I’ve looked in the database, and was unable to find any tables with the prefix “wp_bb”.
I can’t help but think I’m doing something seriously wrong here.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Before you cleanup your old bbPress stuff lets clean up your import…
The quickest and easiest way to get around the failed ‘Purge previous import’ without diving into phpMyAdmin custom SQL queries would be to perform a ‘Forum Reset‘ via http://example.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset
What this will do is remove forums, topics, replies, topic tags etc (almost everything) from your install of bbPress. You will need to manually delete the users though /wp-admin/users.php as at this stage as we haven’t quite got this bit ironed out yet.
Grab bbPress 2.3 RC1 https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/03/bbpress-2-3-release-candidate-1/ and perform your input again.
This should give you a nice clean bbPress and then once you are happy and have backups of your site and database then you can start removing the old bbPress 1.x bits and pieces.
I have not tried an install/migration of a bbPress 1.1 site that use or nor have I used the ‘bbPress Integration Plugin’
With that plugin are the users stored in the WordPress `wp_users` table or bbPress’ `bb_users` table?
In theory if the users are stored in WordPress’ user table you should not need to import the users and if the users are stored in bbPress’ users table you should import the users.
Forgot to add ‘Thank You’ for translating bbPress 🙂
