@Bluealek PM solution is already exist for bbPress plugin. Ben L. has converted bbPM standalone version to bbPress plugin’s version.

Hope, that what you’re looking for!

I DO like the tags function in this very install (bbpress.org), where I can add the tags I’d like to add to whatever topic I read.

But in the bbPress 2.1 install I have I can not see that function.

Is there a way I can call that function in the template, or a widget I can add to WP?

[POS2012]

Hmm. If I have bbPress 2.1 installed, how do I then install BuddyPress to get PM? – Just install it as normal, and the bbPress and BuddyPress will automatically be merged?

Hi,

I have recently setup a bbpress on my wordpress website, and everything seems fine, but the Tags are somehow not working. The problem is when I create a Tag from the front of the website (while creating a new thread) I then cannot see it in the panel administrator. Also, when I create the tag in the panel administrator I then cannot see the tag in the widget in the front end of the website. Do you have any idea what could be causing the problem?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

I’ve got some difficulties with shorcodes in my bbpress installation for wordpress. I have to use special shortcodes for card symbols (spade, diamond, etc.). Example, I use special format for posts, that changes :spade: into <img src=”dsewfwe” />. It works for posts and comments, but it doesn’t work for topics and replies

Any advice how to automatically replace a string with a different one?

I’ve checked the menu and forum (bbpress) and its all set up correct. But still i doesn’t se my forum. Any ideas?

Probably everything what you asked for can be done, but you need PHP skills and change the template files.

I don’t know about the online status, you probably need JavaScript for that.

I have none PHP skills so i have been looking around and testing Vanilla yesterday. From what i’ve been seeing at the start it looks very good. Not yet changed some template files so i can’t tell how easy that will be but i really like the features they have by default.

And if your community will get going you can always upgrade to the paid version and get the Badges Feature! Thats the coolest thing i’ve ever seen inside a communty.

http://vanillaforums.com/blog/news/introducing-vanilla-reactions-and-badges/

It will help your community grow faster for sure.

Hi, I am going to convert from Kunena to a WP based forum. Simple:press and bbPress are the 2 finalists.

The thing I absolutely love about bbPress is the loading time. Sooo much qucker than SP on my test server. That is a VPS. Actually Kunena is quicker loading than SP. That is when I have 1000 posts in Kunena, and only 10 in SP.

But bbPress has almost half the loading time than SP.

But there is something Iack in bbPress:

In the “Forums” layout:

– It currently says: Total topics, total posts and last refreshed for each forum

– Can I also show “Last post title” by “Author” ?

– Is it possible to show an excerpt of the last reply?

In the “Topics” layout:

– It currently says: Total topics, total posts and last refreshed for each forum

– Can I also show “Last post title” by “Author” ?

– Is it possible to show an excerpt of the last reply?

In the “Topic view” (thread):

– Can I somehow get the number of posts per user? (same place where the IP adress shows when I am logged in as admin)

You see : I like to know how many posts a user has made. That tells me of how active they are or not.

I would also like to see:

– Member Since: (date)

– Online status

PS: I have been testing bbPress 2.0.2, and have now installed 2.1 and find that even better

@JJJ Seeing as how short you are on development resources for bbPress, I was wondering if you have considered participating in GSoC. Sure, you’ll probably need to devote a fair bit of your time mentoring instead of coding, but bbPress might gain some features or plugins, and who knows, maybe some long-term contributors…

[humanrights4tibet]

And if you have a problem turning the plugin off you can delete the plugin from the appropriate directory (in my case it was /public_html/demo/wp-content/plugins/bbpress folder) using Filezilla (or the like).

OK, I just resolved my problem….

I asked a designer friend what he thought and after I shared with him that…

In cPanel (with bbPress uninstalled) I’m using 36.2% of my allocated 524288 KB.

He suggested….

So, it seems it’s not physical memory allocation that is the problem, perhaps it’s a PHP memory limitation?

I then emailed my hosting company to ask their thoughts and their reply…

Thank you for writing in. I have increased the memory_limit for your

domain name humanrights4tibet.com from 32MB to 64MB. You can check and

confirm the same using following phpinfo URL:

This has resolved my problem and I have successfully activated bbPress Plugin – http://humanrights4tibet.com/demo/?post_type=forum&p=201&preview=true

Hope this helps you guys

Any help would be greatly appretiated. BBpress 2.0.2 installed.

I’m running WordPress, buddypress, and the bbpress forum plugin here: http://www.ridecbr.com

How can I add breadcrumbs (links showing where you are, and how to get back to the previous page, or the main forums) as well as a title for each forum topic.

When you click into a topic, shouldn’t it show you a breadcrumb list, as well as the topic title?

Please help!! I’ve posted 2-3 times with no responses in the past.

Thanks for your help in advance.

[Jaja..]

Yeah you can do a lot.

Use the WP Template Name function.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

Create your own template files and build your own (bbPres) code inside them or leave them very default and use the Short Tags you’re using with ID’s right now.

If you can select the bbPress templates when adding a new page you can also make your own page templates.

Just select new page and pick a template from the right-side (template)

[pagal]

Different template design is possible with bbPress standalone (v1.1) solution, NOT sure for bbPress as plugin.

[nicolaelvin]

How can I do this? I tried editing the ones bp compatiblity copied across to my child theme I created but none of them effect the forum pages.

[humanrights4tibet]

Hi there, unfortunately I don’t have a solution for you, instead I am in the same situation….

My site is running fine until I activate BBPress Plugin version 2.0.2, then I see various memory allocation messages such as….

“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6310 bytes) in /home/humanrig/public_html/demo/wp-admin/menu.php on line 234”

After reading pparson’s posts I’m guessing my server is not running sufficient ram?

[SK]

At http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin there are plenty of items listed as “Waiting”

e.g. Polish, Romanian, French and Czech have 0% translation completed, but almost 100% strings in “waiting”.

So how do we move strings from “waiting” to “translated”?

[busterbox]

I really like bbpress as much forum But i would and maybe many more people will appericate if they update the 2.x into jus forum Not the plugin Because i have 4 website and i am creating all kind of cms and forum i love bbpress its really simple

[POS2012]

I have installed the latest 2.0 WP plugin, and there the feed shows a little different.

I found this code in the bbp-topic-functions.php:

(line 2994)

/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-functions.php

<title><?php bloginfo_rss( ‘name’ ); ?> » <?php _e( ‘All Topics’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></title>

If you alter that you could probably get the RSS title to say whatever you’d like.

I also found this:

/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-functions.php

line 1372

<title><?php bloginfo_rss(‘name’); echo $title; ?></title>

I have ony 2 days of experience with bbPress, but this might help you…?

[Torsten Landsiedel]

The topic title in bbpress rss feeds is “(author) on (title)” which is really bad, because I can’t sort on title anymore. This is sort by author, because the author is the first string in the title.

And it is redundant, because there is a author field which I can see in my feed reader.

Maybe you can change this to “(title) – (author)” (or similar) …

I see this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and I know this is not the latest version running there. So if this is changed in the latest version, just tell me!

Thanks in Advance!

Kind regards

@Jaredatch,

What’s the best and worst difference between the two, Vanilla VS bbPress.

I have been testing and building bbPress a few times locally but it has never gave me that final push to go live with it, I just don’t trust it..

Every website i make i pick WP as my default CMS because i truly 300% believe in the product it has made my life so much easier. While 3 maybe 4 years ago i was always scared of the word CMS i loved Static content and doing lots of work.

bbPress never gave me that final push of confidence that it could be the Tool you need.

Example, i help solving a lot of questions on the Dutch WordPress forums and all new users i can tell what the power of WP is and all it’s Easy to Use features like the Menu system (my fav.) but when somebody asks me if i know a good forums software i always end up saying bbPress BUT i don’t know if it’s for everybody.

There is still that level of difference. While a user don’t understand why. a plugin = a plugin they can activate and it should work.

If you don’t want to use WordPress my recommendation would be to check out Vanilla
