There is a common disconnect between the WP user profile and bbPress. It’s not integrated. Right now if the user registers with the bbPress registration, then logs in, it takes them to the WordPress profile page. This isn’t good for branding. First of all, it takes them ‘out’ of the site into a WordPress profile (confusing them right off the bat), which has the WordPress logo and WordPress backend style. At this point, a non-WP user doesn’t know what to do to get back to the site.

Is there a clean, easy way to redirect the “Profile” link back to the bbPress profile and prevent them from ever hitting the WordPress brand? The site needs to feel consistent and well-thought out without this random user flow.

I want to customize a topic that is closed. It was easy to find the css class for a topic that was closed, but I cannot for for the life of me find what php file is executing that class. I want to add an extra column with the string “[Resolved]” next to the name of the topic to make it more intuitive for my users. The website with an example of a closed topic is: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/forums/forum/submitted-features/

I am running Wp v3.4.2 and bbPress v2.1.2

Hi, as part of one of our projects at Tasweek Online, we had to FULLY translate bbPress v2 to Arabic. I am not sure how to add it here, but if you want it then get in touch.

bbp_get_user_profile_url( $user_id = 0, $user_nicename = '' )

is the function for retrieving the user profile URL. If you don’t pass an ID it takes that current user ID.

\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\user-details.php
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\user-favorites.php
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\user-subscriptions.php
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\user-topics-created.php

are the template files that you can override in your own template.

yep currently i have no reason to use BBpress. The above reply or elese where on the forum is that it is only 500 lines of code. Okay thanks no thanks.

Im here to download and use this program as how the demo look, not how it looks minus 500 lines of code. You could write Download BBPress minus 500 lines of code see how many download.

Like I said Im willing to pay for theme. I dont see logic of withholding it. All it does is make me forget about bbpress. Not everyone installing these scripts is a programmer / designer. 500 lines might as well be 1 million to me and others.

I thank the guys who created this for their great effor, it looks nice.

[masada]

I agree. This theme would spread the word and it would encourage people to try bbpress.

[applesqaz]

yea i installed it and it looks pretty bad on mine.

When you download it you think its going to look like this site and thats what draws people in buy when they install it I think everyone of them is disappointed.

I dont get why you dont release this theme. People are asking for it and want to use BBpress but they stop using it cause all the other themes are sh!t. This is the only nice theme and only reaon i consider bbpress.

If you dont wanna give it away for free put a price on it and let us buy it.

what is the advantage of withholding it, how does it help you spread the bbpress word. If it was released more sites would run bbpress

Hello… using pagelines, and have installed bbpress. Forum seems to be working fine, but the alignment of the header text for the columns… e.g., topic, posts, voices, freshness… is off…not aligned horizontally. If you can let me know how to edit the CSS for this particular piece, I’d really appreciate it. Also, possible to change the column header text? If so, how? THANKS http://www.powelltatewptest.com.php5-22.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?forum=gear-swap Also, seems like the topic title is in the wrong place… should be left-aligned, then “started by” should go underneath.. just like this forum. Thoughts on how to fix?

On my forum, it is only possible to create a new topic when in the actual forum. How do I make it like this site has, where you can click “Create New Topic” on the top and then choose the forum from a dropdown?

[Pippin Williamson]

I love the idea. Nice job.

[Pippin Williamson]

I’ve used the GD bbPress Attachment plugin for a while and it works really well.

[klimam]

Hi I have WP 3.4.2 and BBPRESS 2.1.2 and my Topics and Replies have recently disappeared (after some upgrade). Today I found out that it interferes with plugin WP-Sticky 1.50. After disabling, BBPRESS is showing again everything!

[fatsandrew7]

weird — when i subscribed to this topic it worked perfectly.

incidentally, i discovered the conflict was in fact with the imember360 software i am using for my membership restrictions.

i am still working on a solution, but i’m confident bbpress is working as it should.

I’m new and I’m baffled. Information overload.

I’ve just added the bbPress plugin to my site because I need a simple BB type forum where you have TOPICS and posts under those topics.

I need it to look like a regular BB type.

This site shows an example of what type of forum I really need to create for my WordPress installation that was done by another type of software.

http://www.csharpforums.net/forum.php

Unfortunately, my forum looks more like BLOG posts within that narrow main column (what is that, 640 width?) within my wide monitors. That’s fine for other sections of my WP site, but not the forum part I want within WP.

Can someone tell me what I need to do?

Thanks.

[on3advertising]

I’m assuming this problem is blatantly avoided by bbPress. A response with a Yes we will do it or No we won’t/can’t would at least be nice so I can move on to paying someone for a fix.

[tri1vu4]

Are there anybodys help me ?

[kortschot]

He there… I got my own wp theme, within it a folder called bbpress for overriding files like loop-topic.php. No big deal, everything works great. But… when doing a search in the forums I would like it to use bbpress-search.php in mytheme/bbpress/ and not make use of the default search.php. I need this due styling and I need way less stuff in the results. Just want topic title and a little excerpt that’s it.

So… main question, can I create a bbpress-search.php or something so when I do a search bbpress uses that file for showing it’s results. If so do you have any pointers?

second… why isn’t there a default search function in a forum plugin like this?

third… when is the next version comming and is there a new feature list somewhere? Thanks! Paul

There are a few plugins that let you do this. Try GD bbPress Attachment

[sharonhandy]

I want to allow users to upload to the forum. IS that difficult or possible?

[Shane Gowland]

As much as I hate shameless self-promotion, this is the “Pimp your press” forum so I’m going to let it all out.

I’ve just launched BeeForums, a free hosted bbPress service. It works just like those free forums services for other scripts (SMF, IPB, PHPBB) except it’s all bbPress & WordPress.

Features include one-click forum installation, a selection of (responsive) themes, spam protection, attachments, signatures, CSS editor and more. Plus we have an awesome site mascot 🙂

I just went through this nightmare and the way I got it to work was a little tricky.

When you get stuck like that, stop the script and go to the repair tab where you recount everything. Go through and do each one of those checkboxes one at a time. Then go and try to continue through the conversion process.

Keep in mind:
the user password portion is still broken. At least none of my old users can login to the new system like they should be able to. There is an unsolved trac ticket on this already.

@mordauk
I’ve got 32,000 members and 380k-ish posts, is it safe to use this plugin?

When I switched to bbPress that was the first thing my moderators asked me for, the ability to see unread, unanswered topcis.

*I am already having severe memory / performance issues with bbPress and don’t want to do anything to make it worse, but the moderators aren’t happy so mamas not happy

[Anointed]

The subscribe is broken on this forum as well. I just tried to subscribe to your topic, was sent to the homepage, go figure, and after checking subscription I see I’m not subscribed to your topic…

[Anointed]

I already posted a trac ticket, but I am going to post here in the hopes that someone with a larger bbPress site might have an answer for me.

I have a medium sized bbPress forum setup with about 32,000 members and about 400,000 topics. Decent size but not large by any means. I have friends who run vb sites with hundreds of thousands of users and tens of millions of posts, so I am a small fry.

The Problem:
I am getting constant out of memory errors in my database, and many times this will even lead to a 500 error on the front end.

One area I am having a problem with is anywhere dealing with users. For instance, on the wp-admin page there is a box ‘right now in the forums’ which gives details such as # of users posts etc.

Without exception if I have bbPress installed, my page errors out on that box and it is blank. I look in my error log and see the out of memory errors.

The amount of memory that I assign doesn’t seem to matter, I have gone as high as 1GB for the site but still get the error

This is making my entire network of sites completely unstable and almost completely useless. I’d hate to loose bbPress as that is the entire reason I built this in the first place.

Does anyone have ideas on how to solve these issues?

*how to remove the happening now box on wp-admin
*how to clean up or optimize any functions pulling the members list (my user_meta table is almost 800,000 rows)

**I am running buddyPress 1.7 bbPress 2.2 and WordPress 3.5beta2

[mortenmr]

I’ve got the same issues, but in addition the “Add New Topic / Reply” is missing from the Dashboard for everyone except the administrator. I’ve matched the user rights in UAM to match bbPress User Roles and Capabilities. But nothing changes.

Any ideas?
