Hello,

First off, great work on bbPress.

I would like to customize the forum input fields and add a couple more. Is this possible?

I need to add some fields and customize the existing ones.

Please help!

Thanks,

Ian

What do i put in the database host box? because i put in the server adress thinking that it was correct(eg *********.db.*******.hostedresource.com)… What do i put in that text field, because this is very confusing for me…

I disabled the cache when I added bbPress to the site I am running, but desperately miss it (speedwise).

This kind of solution would allow me to reinstate the cache and everything would fly along nicely again!

I installed WordPress and BuddyPress, but found out that a moderator has no control over approving comments in forums. Our site requires that.

Then I found a plugin that allows me to moderate a forum in bbPress, which gives me hope that I could utilize bbPress for the forums, the plugin for the moderation/approval, and BuddyPress for the membership aspect.

Is this a realistic scenario? Or should I be using WordPress alone to give me the membership aspect and use bbPress with the plugin to create the forums?

I really like the way BuddyPress models the social aspect, but the main thing for me is the moderated and approved traditional “forum” aspect.

If anyone can give me some timely advice, it would be much appreciated.

Just put out a new integration for bbPress (free) inside of the PageLines Platform/Store

The integration supports drag and drop placement, meta options, color changes and more.

Would love the feedback of the bbP community.

I’m looking for the location where to edit copy in the registration widget

“Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.

I copied the contents of bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten into my theme’s directory, but it isn’t using them. I’m running bbPress 2.1.

JJJ: Ok, I’ll put together the list of actions / filters I’ve used to get cache invalidation working when I get back to my home machine (then hopefully you can say “no no no, all you needed to do was this…”). Is this forum post the best place or a trac ticket?

CiaranG: I was thinking along the same lines and shouldn’t be hard to do with a bit of jQuery I’d hope!

Hi there,

I just copied bbpress via FTP un my site then I’ve done :

http://www.mysite.eu/forum/bbpress.php

After this I received a 404 error.

On my domain I’ve my WP site not in the root but in a folder so I’ve :

http://www.mysite.eu

– mysite

– forum

I tried to move the ‘forum’ folder under ‘mysite’ then i run the setup but I receiveda blank page .

Could you help me ?

Thx alot MauriXX

Regarding all the relative times (x minutes ago, etc), the best solution would probably be to put absolute times into all those places, along with some javascript to turn it into a friendly relative time at the client end.

As well as being cache-friendly, this solution would allow the possibility of locally updating, so if you switch to another tab in the browser and switch back a few hours later, the “1 minute ago” can change to “3 hours ago”.

thanks for your reply, however viewing all of these I did not see one of the bbPress widgets that displays the Topic headlines from a specified Forum, could you point me in the right direction.

[Ph0eniX2018]

I found a workaround for displaying a Twitter Tweet Me button inside individual topics on bbPress 2.0 and using WP 3.x.

Open up: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bb_user_template.php

Under // Default arguments on line 451 after: ‘after’ => ‘)<include tweet me js script here>

The above will display your twitter button directly under the topic posters name/ip address (if enabled). Use line breaks as needed.

This is likely not the best solution, but given the utter arse-circus of using bbpress plugin, and a bbpress template, and since support is very limited for bbpress, this might work for you as well.

im using the latest bbpress plugin for wordpress.. and the table borders is making my forum look not so pretty.. any help/suggestions?

Thanks!

Something custom will need to be coded up. Nothing exists for bbPress that I’m aware of.

[John James Jacoby]

If you can point me to a more specific problem, a plugin, a specific issue, I’m happy to help.

[John James Jacoby]

If there are places where bbPress is not busting the cache properly, I’ll need your help to figure out where and why. bbPress currently relies heavily on WordPress’s API’s to do this for us. bbPress runs very few manual queries of its own, and new or edited posts should be busting the cache automatically.

[John James Jacoby]

Working on the BuddyPress Groups. Opponent right now. Probably a beta soon, to test some things I’m trying out.

When I open it in my css editor I get this

Oh awesome! Looking forward to the 2.1 release then. Might be too early to even ask this but any ideas on when 2.1 will be officially available?

I’m working on something for bbPress core in 2.1. Right now there’s no easy way to get a post count without querying the posts table directly every time. It’ll store counts in user meta and keep things in sync.

[Ph0eniX2018]

I would like the Tweet button to display on the bottom of submitted topics. I’ve tried several methods, but I can’t seem to place any code inside of topic content.

How do I expand on the topic hook to automatically place code into any submitted topic?

I would even be ok with placing the button outside of the topic, like the container, but I have been unable to do this. I am using the plugin, as well as a BBPress ready theme, so I have been hacking both trying to figure out how to get the desired code into topics.

[John James Jacoby]

Don’t use the Shortcodes, just use the widget already supplied by bbPress.

[John James Jacoby]

Probably easiest to stick with what you have, at least for your users. Eventually the bbPress 2 templates and styling will take over forums entirely, and you’ll have the option to migrate your existing forums over, which will be strongly recommended.

Hey Paul,

I’m using

bbpress 2.1 latest

Wootheme Canvas

Wordpress MU 3.2.1

It works on my local but when live it doesn’t.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.1 will come with support for the WordPress visual editor.
