It will be changed in bbPress 2.1.

[John James Jacoby]

Can’t change your login, sorry. It’s linked everywhere throughout the .org sites, so it will break other things if we change it.

It’s hard if you can’t code, since the things you’re mostly emphasizing are things that need to be coded, or documentation that requires understanding the code base. It’s one of those times where there’s no shortage of opinions and ideas, but there’s a huge shortage of labor.

You’ll need to filter the kses filter on the_content to allow that set of tags. Do a google search for filtering the kses filter, and there should be lots of examples.

JJJ,

Will create the tickets.

Will check out #bbpress.

Unfortunately, I can’t code, so won’t be much help on that front. But I’ll be more than happy to help with the website cleanup, end-user documentation, etc.

Please can you change my login name to OC2PS? Thanks!

Create a page with the same slug as your forum root. It will appear as an empty page. Then use the Shortcode [bbp-topic-index] to show the topics index.

You uploaded the wrong version of bbPress to your plugins folder. bbPress 1.1 is a stand alone installation, and bbPress 2.0 and above are plugins for WordPress.

Hello! bbPress comes with a bunch of built in support for a majority of standard WordPress themes. If bbPress isn’t working with your theme, it’s up to your theme author to decide if bbPress is something they want to support.

You shouldn’t need to do much more to get bbPress to look and work like the forums you linked to, once you get your theme sorted.

[John James Jacoby]

Great thoughts and great feedback. All the issues you raise are totally valid.

I deleted your cross-post over at WordPress.org. There may be two different audiences, but your opinions are directed mostly towards the development of the project, so this is the best place to talk about that.

It’s amazingly simple to point out the places where bbPress can be improved. It’s also amazingly difficult to dedicate oneself to volunteering on a daily basis. Break this very long topic down into smaller, more manageable topics, and create trac tickets as enhancements for the new features you’d like to see. Then others can pick which line-item they are interested in helping with, and focus on it.

There’s a lot of love and attention that goes into bbPress, even though it may not seem like it on the site itself. If you want to be part of the solution, come hang out in #bbpress on freenode on IRC. It’d be great to have you start working on fixing some of these issues with me.

Hi,

We – http://www.onemorething.nl – are integrating our forum – http://www.onemorething.nl/community – with an external search engine, that builds an index directly from our database. We run into a problem if we want to link directly to a post on page x that have been retrieved by the search engine. We can only link to the first page from a topic.

Is there a method stored in de bbpress-code that we can use to construct the proper paged url?

sample from a huge topic on our forum:

http://www.onemorething.nl/community/topic/mijn-ontdekkingen-van-vandaag/page/3148#post-2361033

What we want to retrieve/create: /page/3148

Our recent-post list does something familiar, but how?

We are running BBpress version 1.0.2

Hi there,

I would like to have a simple support forum like this in this site here:

http://purerover.com/forum/index

but when I install my site the forum plugin isn’t compatible with my used theme.

The forum isn’t displayed well and also I can’t set it up in pages (i tried short codes but they don’t work

properly)

So two question:

1. Is there a PDF documentation on how to set up a forum like this: http://purerover.com/forum/index

2. Do I other plugins to let my “support forum” be like this one: http://purerover.com/forum/index

or just bbpress?

Thank you and a good night from auckland! (saturday mornign 4:40am)

I want to allow all my forum members to use this tag <pre name=”code” class=”cpp”> tag.

Now only I (admin) can use it; but I want to allow any registered member to use it.

I have some css + js files to make the code written inside this specific tag display differently.

Hope you got it.

Please help..

[fum]

Is it possible to get this in bbPress 2?

Any help is welcome..!

[xertox]

I have the same problem… must be more to it than just dragging the widgets over to the bbpress sidebar.

[Andre]

@vvikeb – FTP upload it.

[Andre]

Gravatar.com. The bbPress forums pull them from there. I don’t believe you can change it directly from bbpress.org.

We have implemented the bbPress eForum in our system, but how can one upload a photo or picture when he send in a submission?

[johnny-rocket]

Thanks Scy…that’s actually me posting over there (crstuart) too. Wishlist keeps telling me to use Simple Press (which I hate). My conclusion is that the two don’t play well together. You are right, i think unless BBPress comes up with some sort of solution, it’s hopeless. I’m thinking of switching to another member plugin.

[scylderon]

Here is some good information on this issue, Johnny.

http://wishlistproducts.zendesk.com/entries/457628-integration-with-bbpress

The problem is with a recent change made to Wishlist and their lack of willingness to correct it.

I wonder if there is any solution that bbPress could make to set it right again.

[San Pietroburgo]

Also I am interested in this question. Thus, would be better to wait for next release of bbPress?

Hi, I have installed the bbPress plugin to my WP blog. It works fine, but I dont like the homepage with the list of forums and subforums, I want to view directly a list of post order by freshness, just like here at the Forum page.

Thanks and greetings.

A new theme should be uploaded via WP Admin Add New Theme interface

Finally got a bbPress child theme working. Just wanted to make a slight clarification, in case someone ran into the same stumbling block.

Make sure when you copy files from /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten that you maintain the subfolder structure as well (e.g. css, js, bbpress). I was copying all files into the root of my custom wordpress theme (wp-content/themes/mytheme) without maintaining the directory structure and I was getting some strange behavior.

Hope this helps someone who might be having trouble!

[SK]

I think bbPress could do better to clarify such things.
