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?

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.

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 🙂
Your best option will be to post the same as above on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/
They will setup the correct entries for uploading your Persian translations to GlotPress https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
Make sure you include the language locale eg. ‘fa’ Persian or ‘fa-af’ Persian (Afghanistan)
I think it’s probably there but aligned to the right like mine and was not showing.
Add this to your CSS:
div.bbp-submit-wrapper {
float: left;
}
That piece of code helped me, hopefully it will help you.
I am pretty sure there are a couple of WordPress Sitemap plugins that support bbPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
This has been fixed in the next release of bbPress 2.3
Hi guys
I have translated about 40% of bbPress (WP Plugin) strings into Persian language but I don’t know how to upload it on bbPress official website.
May you please guide me?
Thanks a lot.
I will take a look at that. We have been using a third party plugin (WP Markdown) for a long time to overcome the issue. I will try deactivating that plugin and see what happens.
Thanks!
Make sure you don’t have any pre-existing or duplicate pages called “Forums” or that use the same URL slug as your forums / bbpress installation. This will cause problems and BBPress may not display. Delete these posts and MAKE SURE TO EMPTY THE TRASH!
🙂
If you are using bbPress 2.x it includes TinyMCE support.
If you’re not getting the TInyMCE editor on topic/replies then you need to inspect you plugins and see what might be filtering/disabling the editor.
