Hello,

1) I have a small trouble — I do not know how to increase the width of the forum block of the website: http://intellfor.com/forum/topic/som-menej-seriozne-forum/ (I do not like the blank space on the right.)
I looked into the css of the WP theme, but could not find anything.

2) How can I make my forum the homepage?

3) Also an offtopic question — some time ago there used to be a bbpress which was not a WP plugin, but a software that could be installed without WP. Now I am not able to find it though… What has happened to it?

Thanks for your help.

Howdy,
I added support for bbPress into my anti-spam plugin this morning. I don’t actually use bbPress though, so can’t confirm that it is indeed working on a live site, so if any of you kind bbPress folks can help a poor plugin dev. out by testing it for me, that would be really handy 🙂

It works ninja well on blog comments, so assuming I’ve implemented it correctly, it should (in theory) work just as well for bbPress too.

Here’s the announcement post for bbPress support:
http://pixopoint.com/2012/08/05/bbpress-buddypress-and-multisite-spam/

And here’s the download page at WordPress.org:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-destroyer/

It should help block both user registrations via the bbPress user registration shortcode and it should block automated guest posters too.

Starejosel – Thanks for looking into it. From what I’ve seen of the website, it’s not running bbpress? Let me know if you find an answer though.

fripp – Thanks, let’s get a few more people on board to get this plugin up and running!

Pastebin doesn’t look like a viable option as far as actually integrating it. Would require tapping into their api which is a level of programming that is waaay over my head.

An unpleasant, but manageable workaround is to use:

http://centricle.com/tools/html-entities/

to encode the code first, wrap it in code tags and cross your fingers.

Still has issues with quotes and rel=”nofollow”, but going back and editing I managed to get the code to display cleanly how I want it.

Getting users to do this (even if they knew how) will be impossible so ultimately we’ll just have to settle with the “use Pastebin and share the URL” method.

There is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/ – but it’s not so pretty and still has it’s glitchy moments.

Another option I suppose would to get in the code and change it so that the code button inserts textarea tags instead and then just style the hell out of them to look and function like they’re not textareas ;). That could sure confuse users though.

I guess we’ll see what 2.2 brings.

Thanks, Bryan

As per the title. It does this only on the main forum overview page, not within posts or actual forums themselves. How do I at least stop this – or better yet control it via widgets?

[vibol]

I added this ticket, which needs more conversation on approach:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

[fripp]

Tanya, I’m in! It’s the only feature I’ve missed since converting to bbpress from SMF.

But it is the most important, I think. And so do the users in my forum as well. It is the easiest way to keep updated.

Most users want a quick overview of what has been going on. And not just the latest postings, but the postings they have not yet read.

Let’s do this!

Hello There
I´ve been searching this for days.
Is there a way to show in a custom page the recent topics form specific forums, limiting the number of posts? Either via widget or directly putting code into the template files?
Thanks in advance.

[mike05]

I believe im having the same problem. I am using Directorypress from Premiumpress. I have the the forum set up great but it seems as though bbpress isn’t playing nice with directorypress. I Want mY sidebar there for advertising and widgets, but on my forums page, the sidebar is showing up Underneath the forum.

What makes it worse is that bbpress is only 2/3 width, so theres a blank spot where the sidebar is supposed to be.

Does this sound familiar? and if so, does anyboy have the solution to this problem?

[apena916]

What i’m experiencing was even before I installed bbPress Moderation. When I installed bbPress alone i still needed to approve all the posts, when the problem persisted then I installed the bbPress Moderation just to see if it allowed what it said, which is after one time approved I wouldn’t have to approve again, but it never fixed the problem, I still had to approve every post So I did what you said and disabled the bbPress Moderation and I’m still getting the same problem, with or without the plugin all posts goes to ‘Pending’ and I have to approve every single one of them which gets really annoying. I disabled bbPress and re-enabled it and still nothing. I even found a function that I tested on functions.php, the function has this included thinking it would force the users capability to publish.

$role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); // gets the editor role
$role -> add_cap( 'publish_topics' ); //-> is actually greater than symbol, this forum is not showing it

but that didn’t work, i feel like there’s an option that never got set in my database, i even restored the plugin and its not working. I just don’t understand why its not working for me, or nothing is being set in capability mapping

Can you double check what version of bbPress you are using… V2.1.2 included a patch that specifically addressed the issue you are having with class names being case sensitive.

[jsandlund]

Hi there,

I’m looking for someone to help me cleanly implement bbpress into my wordpress site. I’ve actually had trouble finding freelancers who specifically list bbpress as an area of expertise. Could you guys point me in the right direction? Or if anyone here also freelances, it would be great to hear from you. My skype is jsandlund

Many thanks!

Hi I have not built the site as of yet I do have several domains i use to build and test stuff though on our server.

Scenario: I build a WPMU site on the main domain then I add a sub-folder for bbpress is there a way / or thread here explaining how I can have separate databases and one login for both sites? I would like to keep the databases separated so as we grow and I need to separate things it would simplify things as far as moving and using a couple different servers.

So WP-1 with MU and / subfolder WP-2 with bbpress / 2 databases on the same account, one login for both.

I have to say this it took two weeks to figure it all out. But bbpress is prety awesome even after over 10 years of phpbb, I think you have something awesome here, Thanks!

One more thing, is there a way to set the notify tic box to “auto notify” and tic of you don’t want notified?
Thanks again!

Thanks so much, I used the workaround for the missing variable suggested here:

http://themeforest.net/item/cheerapp-app-wordpress-bbpress-theme/discussion/2007363?page=7

Worked fine. =)

However, why are all the links to older bbpress versions on this site broken? Just wondering..?

Thanks Again,

Nicole

I chose phpBB
and did the import that worked fine

then i repaired the tables as it didnt show the topics if i dont.
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp1.png
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp2.png
and that worked fine
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp3.png

the Users are showing up fine as well
WP
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp4.png
DB
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp5png

But if i try to log into a imported user i get the following error.

Warning: require_once(bbp-converter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/durelle/dotaxhazard/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘bbp-converter.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/durelle/dotaxhazard/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466

Any suggestions, is there a link i can change, im comfortable in changing php i just need to know what lines to replace with what.

[mpriola]

That’s somewhat helpful. It appears that the basic style sheet is running, but there’s another style sheet (bp.print.css) that is not. Even though it’s imported into the style sheet that IS running.

I can’t tell whether bbpress is leaving the styles out entirely or simply not seeing the stylesheet.

Using bbPress 2.1.2

Happy to see that a toolbar has been added in, however it doesn’t currently work very well for code. It’s allowing basic HTML like strong even though wrapped with code tags to execute.

I miss the old backtick option that forced ANY and ALL code to display as plain text like a champ.

Thanks, Bryan

Hello,

I run a custom loop for some replies at a specific part in my template. I would like anyone that has the rights to edit these replies. I use bbp_reply_admin_links for that, but this function gives me NULL. When digging futher in to the code I see that bbp_is_reply equals NULL in bbp_reply_admin_links. Probably because im not in a “official” bbpress loop. Anyone has a solution? Manually calling bbp_get_admin_links($post->ID) does not do the trick. bbp_is_reply still gives false on that, because bbp_get_admin_links does not give the ID trough to bbp_is_reply.

                             "reply",
                                        "post_parent" => get_the_ID(),
                                        "order" => "ASC", // First comments first
                                        "paged" => get_query_var("paged")
                                    )
                                );

                                $i = 1;

                                if($replies->have_posts()) :
                                    while($replies->have_posts()) :

                                        $replies->the_post();
                                        $class = ($i % 2) ? "" : "mark";

                                        ?>
