Who even knows.

Upgraded to 2.1, problem’s gone. Nothing more to see here!

@andre thank you for link

What version of bbpress are you using?

[Paul]

drsim, Haven’t used it myself but there is the plugin bbPress Topics for Posts

PowerNick, they are trying Orson’s Forum Converter. It sounds to me that it doesn’t work very well. I need to convert my phpBB3 forums too. But now I am thinking that WordPress and bbPress are not the answer. Even if the converter worked the idea that I would need a converter doesn’t really set well.

Yeah, I think I will ask my host to find something else.

Is there a place where I could read how these two worlds are inevitably going to collide? I currently have Group Forums enabled in a BP 1.5.3 with 200+ groups. One of those groups is a Support group, to help with navigation of the community, use, BP, WP (it’s a multisite), etc. which gets lost amidst the other active groups.

I’m tempted to turn on the Sitewide Forum option (separate from groups), but feel like perhaps the two options are really a stop-gap measure until the new bbpress replaces bbpress 1.x for groups. Currently it looks like the sitewide forum (Support) on testbp.org and the Forum Directory (global directory of all of the discussion within all of the public groups) aren’t aware of one another.

I’m patient, should I hold off on enabling Sitewide Forums until bbpress 2.x becomes THE forum functionality at work in BP.

How seamlessly will this migration be, and will it be easier if I just stick with group forums for now.

Hi there,

I’m using buddypress and bbpress 2.0 and wondering if there is a way to get user stats on their profiles or at least have the users post count under their avatar?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone. I have a couple of alignments problems with my website, and would love to know which file I would edit to adjust the width of various tables etc. I am totally new to BBPress and any help is greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

Paul.

The only limitation put on bbPress scaling is your own server environment. The more resources you have the more you can run. bbPress is no different than any other software in this regard.

No, topics are not deleted if no new replies. That would definitely require a custom plugin.

This is a question between Buddypress and WordPress, however I decided to post it also here, because I’m not too sure whether I should use BBPress or Buddypress in my setup and maybe someone could give me some advice here.

I’m working at a wordpress project that is structured as follows in a multisite configuration:

1) main site, single language, heavily customized with post types, loads of content, no forum, one webshop

2) secondary site, simpler setup, relatively little content, no forum, no webshop, multilanguage (WPML)

3) third site hosting a forum only and no other content; forum interface will be multilanguage (like site #2)

4) fourth site, reserved to admins only, single language, possibly a forum, to manage content and carry on project management tasks and discussions, etc.

– all sites would be in the same domain (ie http://www.domain.com/ = 1, http://www.domain.com/2, http://www.domain.com/3 etc)

– sites #1, #2, #3 would be seamlessly integrated in the frontend. However content displayed changes, since #1 has very different contents meant for users in the main language, while #3 is just a forum. Site #2 is intended to provide information and basic contents to international users, while the forum would provide a common space for discussion, being the interface translated.

I want a multisite setup so users can keep their logins, cookies, across the sites, yet at the same time make some order to admin the different areas.

Now… it is clear to me that WPML I can take care of the translation part. However, what I’m really clueless about is how to seamlessly integrate the forum part. Since mine is a community-type website, I want to have community features… Buddypress seems to offer a more complete solution for this than bare bbpress. I don’t want users to create their blogs or groups. But it would be nice to have better profile pages, private messaging, set their own display pic, and so on. Features that bbpress lacks or are not natively integrated (I come from a bbpress 1.0 experience and while I love it for the theming possibilities, plugin wise was badly supported).

So what I would really like to know… Does it make sense to run BuddyPress on site #3, activate only modules for member profiles, forums and activity streams?

Will the activity streams report activity of these users on sites #1 and #2? (would that include creation of new articles, posts and content by admins and authors? or just comments?)

Will the users be able to login from site #1 or #2 or #3 and kept logged in without any weirdness happening when navigating through the sites and performing actions?

Can authors from #1 and #2 link their profiles to profiles found in #3 Buddypress rather than using author.php? Same for registered users that post a comment on #1 or #2, can they have a link directing to their Buddypress member profile page/activity stream?

Being site #1 only in one language for both content and interface, what if user jumps from #2 or #3 to #1 and then back to #2 or #3, would his languages preference being persistent?

Thank you!

[dreamgrowers]

No, but I’d love to know if you or anyone else figures this out.

I would love to see a clear explanation of how to remove the sidebar on bbpress or a little easier theme integration.

Although bbpress has loads of potential, I’ve currently put my bbpress usage on hold and using other solutions until there’s a little more documentation and support around it.

Good luck to you!

[newpress]

any help ?

[newpress]

how many categories, forums, topics and posts bbpress wordpress plugin can handle? what are the limitations ?

does it automaticaly delete threads that dont get further comments ? for about a week or so?

[012birds]

Did you have any luck getting the sidebar customized?

[John James Jacoby]

Probably something our of wack filter wise. Possible autop is missing or unhooked.

[ben_allison]

Hmm… I think it’s cause I had some old bbpress template files in my theme… error’s gone.

[ben_allison]

Just swapped to 2.1 and I got this right away when viewing a topic:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 201

Ideas?

[ben_allison]

Yeah I realized I can move files from the original template, but it looks like theming 2.1 is going to be much more smooth.

Thanks chaps!

[Paul]

Ben, I’ve had more success with the 2.1 development version, available as a zip at the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin.

All I have done is create a bbpress directory within my theme folder and in there copied in any files from pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytenbbpress that I wanted to modify. I have not moved any files out of the plugins directory.

I haven’t had much success with setting the css for bbpress from within my theme. In the end I ended up renaming pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencssbbpress.css to bbpress_master.css and creating a new bbpress.css in the same folder. Within this new file I have my modifications with the following as the first lines

/**

* bbPress specific CSS

*

* @package bbPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/

/* =bbPress Style

---

*/

@import url(“bbpress_master.css”);

I will need to be careful updating bbpress as I will lose my bbpress.css. Until I work out how to have css working through my theme it will do.

[ben_allison]

Hmm… just found this:

<i>”If you are the author of this theme, then you can copy all the files *out of* the “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into the folder of your theme, and make your own edits from there. The files to copy include the single-*, archive-*, page-*, and anything in the subfolders.”</i>

So is the best approach for me to copy the bbPress folder within bbp-twentyten into my theme, and add whatever forum or snippets or files I need to my theme files?

[ben_allison]

Here’s what I tried:

1) Copy bbpress theme folder into my theme

2) add “add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );” to my functions file

Nothing. I think I misunderstand how the bbpress theming system works. I thought it was more or less a “child theme” that bolts on to twentyten.

Are there files or snippets of code I need to grab from the bbp-twentyten theme?

FWIW, the site is running Buddypress, along side bbpress. I’m using the stock Buddypress theme, and my own Buddypress child theme.

Everything is working perfectly (forum is up and running, etc). All I’m trying to do is used a customized bbpress template so I have complete control over the forum markup.

Thanks!

[RVH]

Rookie mistake, I forgot to activate the TwentyTen bbpress theme!

[ben_allison]

Just wondering about this.

Is W3TC “safe” to use with bbPress 2.0?

[RVH]

I’m new to bbpress and I did it quite successfully in my first WP site last week. Now, I’m trying to set up a simple site for my wife using TwentyTen and bbpress is the only plugin.

When I go to create a new Forum page and I click on the Templates dropdown, only two choices exist Default and One Column.

Thanks,

Bob
