After setting up Buddypress and BBpress I tried creating a new user through the BBpress registration form.

The username I created was “Carl LaFong”.

I got the activation email and successfully activated the account. However, I was unable to log on.

It turns out that “Carl LaFong” got converted to “Carllafong”.  There would be no chance of anyone guessing that. Their registration would fail and they’d have no idea why.

So if spaces aren’t allowed they should be rejected during the registration process, shouldn’t they?

Also, are names case sensitive?  Not sure what to make of the mixed upper/lower case result.

Thanks for feedback @beggers, glad its worked for you 🙂

The forum order is already fixed for upcoming bbPress 2.3 with lots of extra tweaks also… storing old phpBB user profile fields.. ‘all the BBCodes’ are converted bbPress HTML…

I recently installed Buddypress and BBpress and was thinking about how I could add all the nifty features of phpBB such as BBcodes and stuff.  Then I remembered that hardly anyone uses most of them and here’s a big reality check – Facebook doesn’t even let you use bold or italic and they have a BILLION users.

Bottom line – don’t waste time adding a bunch of stuff that you think might be cool but actually have little or no effect on activity.

This is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3, you can download and test it from here

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

The problem is solved, now i have a problem with the cache. When a user log in on some pages it seems to be not logged in ???

[Monleap]

How could i do that ?

[Lynq]

If you are able to create a demo account that would be great.

[Lynq]

Personally I would approach it like a process you would like to complete, in order of importance.

I would have a list of extra features and a list of stuff that has to be there, in order of priority. You work your way through the stuff you have to have in your forum and then once that is complete you can release it for the world to enjoy, then over time develop or find plugins for the extra bits you would like to have. A good starting point is the starter theme I created for bbPress, I think you have already looked at it, so get that working really nice, then move onto the next bit in your list.

It’s kind of difficult for anyone to list off all your requirements and reply with perfect plugins, it is easier for people to take one feature at a time and help with that.

Good luck! 🙂

Sorry there is no demo account.

[Hemmafixaren]

Is it possible to not have the “forums base” archive slug show up as a breadcrumb when browsing around in my forums and topics?

I want it to just say “forum” (without the “s”), but then it conflicts with my “forum slug” which is “forum”.

Hope I’m able to describhe my problem properly, any help is much appreciated.

I have WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4

[zilveer]

Is there any demo account, I need to login to see why it doesnt show up.

Hello @netweb,
I did search for “search” in the files in the bbPress directory but nothing is found there.

Is there anyone else there who can help me?
regards

Hi,

I have a problem on my forum : http://monleap.fr/forum

I activated the Fancy Editor on my settings page but it not show. Somebody could help me please ?

[shauntwl]

sorry i dont understand, i did a full wordpress installation and installed bbpress plugin. Hostgator installed wordpress on my sever for me.

is that not a full wordpress setup?

[Lynq]

Sounds like your main theme (not a bbpress theme) doesn’t have all the files it needs, I would recommend getting a full working installation of wordpress first, check everything is ok then do the bbPress stuff.

[Stephen Edgar]

My apologies, but I went and looked at your site and I did not see a WordPress/bbPress all I saw was an ‘Ad Farm’ which I now presume was put there by your webhost Host Gator.

It appears they have changed that now to just a ‘Landing Page’ that is far less spammy.

Let me know once your site is back up and I will restore the links in your other posts.

I just set up a test site with WP 3.5.1, then added bbPress 2.2.4 and then added BuddyPress 1.6.4. I’m using site wide forums.

Plugins:
Alismet (not activated)
bbPress
BuddyPress
Custom CSS Manager
Hello Dolly (not activared)
PlugNedit (not activated)

Since this is new I don’t mind removing plugins (including bbPress and BuddyPress) and resinstalling. I don’t care about Custom CSS Manager, so it can go if needed.

I did notice that the directories “forums”, “forums/forum” and “forums/topic” were not created.

Could it have been the order in which I installed bbPress and BuddyPress?

Mormally I’d start from scratch, but after spending the last two weeks upgrading forums, etc software on multiple sites and then doing a server upgrade in order to run WP I’m a bit tired of looking at my computer 🙂

Thanks in advance!

I’m just wondering if there is a way to automatically permanently delete all replies and topics marked as spam from the database. The spam filter is doing a decent job of keeping spam off the forum, but it’s being logged in the back end. Is there anyway to not allow BBPress to save this data and to permanently delete it immediately?

[akgt]

do you have a list of plugins that can can be done

[Tanya]

Does this help?

[Nina Morena]

Hello All,

I just installed bbPress on my dev site for a potential client. It was pretty straight forward out the box. I was wondering if there is a way to have the forum handle the comments for my blog posts. The idea is to create a blog post and then upon submission, the post would create a topic in the forum for my users to comment on. Hopefully someone has done this and I can get a little help in this area.

Thanks!

Apology, correction to above the “Blog” text is not located in h1 it is located in Blog

[bodhi_mcgee]

The website has a heading 1 for the page title and breadcrumbs. Both the page heading and the breadcrumbs think that any page within the bbpress forums is within the “blog” section. So the heading 1 says “blog” and the breadcrumbs say home > blog > topic name

Note: the breadcrumbs that come with bbpress work fine.

The site is located here: http://healthmeditating.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-meditate/
Running WordPress 3.5.1.

Using theme Sterling from themeforest -http://themeforest.net/item/sterling-responsive-wordpress-theme/2320578

One other problem that may be related is that wordpress also triggers the Blog menu item link as the current_menu_item (thus highlighting it in the main menu). I can override this with css so I am not overly worried about it but thought it worth mentioning. I notice that this problem is actually a reported bug in bbpress and is being worked on.

Thanks in advance to anyone who as any ideas,
