Hi all.
Setting up a wordpress site for someone and I’ve decided to use bbpress for a particular section as it seems best fitting for what we need.
I simply want the forums to be for members only, for example a page simply stating ‘you must register blah blah..’ would be fine.
Is there an hidden admin panel for bbpress I’m not seeing? All I am aware of is /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress
I felt I’d just post a new thread as most things I came across were > a year old. I read the newer versions work much improved out of the box than before, so hopefully this is pretty easy.
Thanks,
I have installed BuddyPress on a new WordPress site because I want to replace my current forum site with something like this one. I installed bbpress from the BuddyPress>Components page and installed the site wide forums plugin. It tells me the most current version is installed anyways. When I go to the “forums” page, I simply have an edit link to create it. I can preview a forum I created, but when I try to move up in the hierarchy to the Home>Forums page, again I am just given an edit button link. I believe the “Forums” page is supposed to automatically created from what I have read on here already. I also tried to reset my permalinks, and that didn’t make a difference. I tried resetting my theme to twentyeleven, the default buddypress theme, and a third theme. I’m guessing I’m just missing a simply step because obviously this plugin works for most everyone else.
Actually, no, it doesn’t — first 4 folders are bb-admin, bb-includes, bb-plugins, and bb-templates, followed by a ton of un-foldered PHP files. It matches where I downloaded it, from this page:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
Did I download the standalone and not the plugin? (To back up a bit: I’m trying to integrate bbPress and Buddypress with an already existing WordPress site.)
Okay, last series of questions for a bit.
How do I properly install 2.1 into a developmental BuddyPress site? I want to launch a site with everything, WordPress, Buddypress, and bbPress has to offer. Today I run a site that is based on Vanilla Forums (grumble) and another site that is phpBB.
The reason I ask so much about video and images is because these sites are based around music so with music you have a ton of photos of performances and video. I’d like to make it as easy as possible for users to share these media types in Forum posts since that is today where they classically have shared them.
Does this seem like a sound(pun?) approach or am I missing something?
Hmm, I’m honestly not sure what is going on.
When you open the bbPress directory, does the inside look like this http://sht.tl/oBlq ?
You may need to tweak the permissions on the bbPress folder.
OK — I did all that and can see the plugins/bbpress folder in Filezilla. The problem is, I can’t see it in the “plugins” page on WordPress to activate it, and the site is otherwise not recognizing it (pages I had with shortcodes aren’t working).
Sigh. I’m testing it on wavychick.com, which is a dev site for my dev site, if that makes sense.
All the plugins on bbPress.org are for bbPress 1.0.
The plugins for bbPress 2.x go on WordPress.org.
Eventually the plugins listed here will be archived to help with the confusion 
Are there any god reputation plugin for bbpress 2.0.2 ?
Hello!
We have a site with bbpress plugin and a lot of functionalities, and the moderators/admin manage all them from admin panel because is easier to centralize everything in the admin.
When we have a new topic, usually we want to reply at the same time (we use bbpressmoderation). Now we have to read it in admin topics an then go to the reply admin, create a reply and choose the topic in the dropdown, but we have a lot of topics and this is hard to manage.
The other option we have is go to the frontend and reply there, but we lose a lot of options to embed, formmating, etc.
It would be nice to have a reply link in the edit topic panel that directly create a reply to this topic without having to go to the reply panel and select the topic from the long list of topics.
I think (but i’m not an expert) it could be easy to do but i’m lost in how to do it.
There is planned any similar funcionality in bbpress plugin?
or can someone guide me how to do this?
Thanks
hello. I’m usind bbpress1.1 which is integrated to my website worpress. I use a plugin “search terms 2” which enables me to see all the researchs on my search engine (exemple : http://joueur-malin.fr/pc/precommande-diablo-iii-edition-simple-et-collector/ on the bottom of the article). I would like the same think but for my forum. Do you know a plugin like that? thank you for your answers!
Wait, what version of bbPress are you using?
Hi thanks I have activated the plugin succesfully and this would be ideal, unfortunetly it does not show Settings > Limit Login Attempts and does not seem to take affect.
Is there any plugins like this which are native to bbpress?
It would be nice to put a “reply” button in topic list of admin panel, or a embed reply form in edit topic panel, and not have to go to the reply list and add a new one.
You can create an account without using your real identity, so I don’t think that should be an issue.
I *think* 2.1 is supposed to be a bit better with catching the spam.
Your main problem, like you said, is allowing guest posts.
Do you have akismet enabled?
Also I would use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-login-attempts/
This one works great with WordPress, not sure how it plays with bbPress but give it a try.
You will need to do it using FTP.
1. downloads zip from link
2. unzip (will be a folder called trunk)
3. rename trunk to bbpress
4. access website via ftp, delete current bbpress folder in wp-content/plugins
5. upload new one
Hmm, that’s weird.
I’m not really sure. The next thing I would do would be to activate TwentyEleven and disable all plugins except bbPress – that would at least let you know if the problem is with a theme/plugin being used.
Hmm weird. Try disabling all your plugins (except bbPress) and see if that works – there could be a conflict.
Theme should be ok, bbPress doesn’t typically have any issues with TwentyTen/Eleven
Page with all forums seems ok, but when i click on “Forum”, opens a page, that look as stantart page, not forum.
Just name and forum description
http://istra-da.ru/forums/forum/main/
Whats wrong?
Theme – Twenty Eleven
Bbpress autoinstall
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I installed the latest version of WordPress, then used the ‘Plugins’ search to install BuddyPress, and then within the /Forums/ section I installed bbPress.
Everything is working wonderfully, except when anyone posts on the forums it doesn’t update their activity feed:
http://buddypress.p-h1.com/community/topic/this-is-my-first-topic/
And here is the admin activity page:
http://buddypress.p-h1.com/members/admin/
Is there anything I can do to fix this? It’s the one remaining piece of functionality I’d like to be working.
Does anyone know of a login logger for bbpress?
I want to log failed login attempts
Gotcha. I’m afraid this takes us back to my original question, though. Following your link above, I download the .zip file at the bottom of the page — it saves to my desktop as trunk-3822.zip. If I go in to “add plugin” in WP, and upload that .zip, I can’t find it in the plugin directory — nd the version of bbPress is still 2.0.2.
Do I need to do this in CPanel instead? Manually copy the files into the bbPress folder already there? Sorry if I’m being daft.
Thanks, Jared, was hoping you would answer! Is there a simple way to make the bbPress forum NOT be full-page width, and have my regular sidebar on the page? That’s the main thing I was hoping Genesis Extend would do, at least at this stage in the game. Need to show ads.
