I am using bbpress 0.9x.
I changed a user’s username (and user nicename — I hope that was right) in the SQL database because they used an email address by mistake (and regretted it).
However, while the new username has populated their posts, the little notation “thread started by” has not changed and still lists the original username.
Can you please help me fix this? (In case it is obvious, I am not that experienced with databases or php for that matter.)
Thanks!
Try installing the ‘bbPress moderation’ plugin and see if that helps.
@Anointed
On the comments conversation, by not standardizing to use WP comments and weaving off to use a custom post type, how do you think that leaves bbPress to counter to huge problem of Spam though?
Seems this alienates bbPress to utilize another great Automattic tool, IntenseDebate which I find an absolute godsend.
So I can get both of these cache plugins to work by hooking into a few actions in bbPress and invalidating the post (which may be a topic or forum) and any ancestors (which would be a topic / forum in the case of a reply) by doing the ‘edit_post’ action on each post. There are a couple of edge cases still to deal with (like subscribing to a topic that needs your user page invalidating) that I’ll have a look at this evening.
Only real thing I don’t have an answer to is the freshness count. If you view a forum and the last topic was posted 1 minute ago then you come back an hour later and refresh the page you’ll see the cached page stating that the last topic was posted 1 minute ago rather than an hour ago. I could go with the fixed date approach but it’s not as neat.
im using a multisite installation of wordpress… by super admin, the network administrator was meant
today made a fresh install of wordpress 3.2.1 and bbpress 2.0.2, all default settings…
i created only a forum with one topic… the userprofile(and edit) does not work…
on non multisite wordpress everything worked as expected…..
what information should i provide to help investigation?
So I’m running bbPress 2.0 alongside Buddypress 1.5. I’m using a child theme, based on Buddypress’s default theme… but I want to tweak some bbPress pages.
Let’s say, for example, the main forum view.
Right now, it’s based off page.php in my child theme, and is taking the title of the last forum, and using that in the the_title() tag I have for the page title.
On other “pages” I this makes sense; it’s getting the title while in the loop.
For the bbPress forum page, it’s wonky.
So, I want to make a main forum-view specific template file… but I’m unsure as to the best approach when I’m running a child theme for Buddypress.
FWIW, all forum’s are being handled by bbPress and it’s default template files.
Thanks!

Hi guys, any update please re:punbb.
If it won’t happen – or will be months out, that’s OK. But an ETA would be good to know.
Thanks.

I’m quite surprised that you started off with platforms (vbulletin and invision) that are jointly less popular than phpbb. But I suppose one of the plugin developers had forums that used those platforms and I’m glad to be able to benefit from your hard work.
You have mentioned in the plugin description that conversion for phpbb is coming *soon*, and I was wondering if you might be able to provide some updates on that.
Finally, am I correct in assuming that bbconverter
i) imports topics and forum hierarchies into bbpress
ii) including the relations between topics and forums
iii) and slugs for topics and forums
iv) generates an .htaccess to place in the old forum directory so that old URLs are 301 redirected to new ones.
v) imports users including profiles, passwords, signatures and roles
I have installed the bbpress plugin into my WordPress site (my site uses a child theme of twenty-ten). I created a couple of forums leaving the defaults for showing “forums” as my base forums slug. Navigating to http://mysite/forums was showing my list of forums as I expected. I made some changes but then reverted them and now the base page is empty. I can still get to my individual forums, but I can’t seem to get the listing to show back up on my base forums page.
Things that I changed
* temporarily disabled base slug but then re-enabled it
* temporarily switched to the twenty-eleven theme but then switched back to my twenty-ten theme
I figured mine out. There was a confliction with one of my plugins. Are you using any bbpress plugins? Issue w mine was one of there widget Plugins. If not you will need to deactivate your plugins one at a time until you figure out which one is causing issue.
I have akismet installed and the anonymous posting was disabled in bbPress. The advertising spam still got through. Any other suggestions.

figured that one out, thanks
you need to remove the sidebar (get_sidebar() function) from every file of bbPress template.
bbPress can use akismet if it is installed already…
you should disable anonymous posting if it’s enabled.
there is a styling file of the theme or of the bbpress and there you must change the color of the text, learn css.
btw bbpress is very minimal in comparison to other forum platforms, you can easily use only CSS file to modify something without need to integrate all php files in the theme, or some of them.
Sounds like what you want to do is use shortcodes, after installing the default bbPress plugin (or installing BuddyPress version).
You’ll still want (need) a little styling of the default twentyten template style to help it match your current theme, but otherwise the bbPress forums can be added to a page with just the shortcodes features you wish to display:
See shortcodes here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
We’ve done a little tutorial video that shows how this might work with your theme (forward to the “hybrid” option in the video, about mid-way)

We’ve done a little tutorial video to show how you can setup either a BuddyPress Group Forum, a SiteWide bbPress 2.0 Forum, or a custom hybrid forum page using shortcodes. You can have all three at one time. Hope this helps

I have integrated bbpress in to my current theme. Everything is working great. I have only one issue.
The reply comment box is all white and the writing shows up white as well. Meaning that you can’t read the reply comments. This is site wide on forums and bb posts.
Any idea how to change this?
I have a WordPress Blog and want to link to a bbPress forum site through a button in the main menu of the blog template (Forex Titan). I can’t figure out how to do this. I change the html code but it changes back to the original WordPress permalink. Is there a plugin to change the link URL’s in the permalinks?
Not sure what happened but it was working fine before all of a sudden I started getting this error. Any ideas?
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bb_since() (previously declared in /home/patking/public_html/thefitnessking.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-last-topics/function.bb_since.php:11) in /home/patking/public_html/thefitnessking.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 447
I have integrated bbpress in to my existing wordpress and everything is working great except it’s impossible to read the comments stuff. The background is white and the writing is yellow and sometimes white which you cant read at all.
How do I change these colors
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi
In my case that user/pass was the same. Both places it says, that the user does not exists.
What could I do?
