Why have support forums in 2 places for bbpress – here and on WP forums?

I think it makes the developers spend more time trying to help because they have to look in 2 places, and it confuses users who don’t always know where to post/read…

[shooo]

Still nothing about the many problems of conversions phpbb?

[shooo]

hello,

I tried desperately for months to transfer my phpbb on bbPress, but without success.

This plugin crashes during the creation of the first forum.

have you ever had this problem?

“relinking forum hierarchy

fixing subcounts

done processing forums

Converting posts …

converting posts

Disconnecting

reconnecting …

reconnect success “but after it happens nothing.

This plugin is no longer followed by the author …

it’s just a mess ^ ^

Hi John (do7d).

Thank you for your attention.

I’m interested in seeing what changes you made​​.

Not exactly the model of Invision or other powerful forums, but their forum was better organized with subcategories.

But still, I keep my critical: bbPress need to improve the hierarchy of sub-subforums to become a powerful forum and allow the creation of many subforums and well organized.

Even the simple press allows this organization/separation of blocks with subforums:

Thanks!

I knew bbPress for a while, but didn’t do anything with it until a few weeks ago. I needed bbPress for some projects to embed it in already running WordPress installations. At first I installed bbPress from the WordPress plugin repository and activated it. So far easy as every other plugin.

But how do I show this thing a WordPress site? I created a page called ‘Forum’ and inserted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] into it. Published the page and everything was visible. But now? Why do I need more shortcodes if this is working?

You can copy bbPress template files into your own custom theme folder. This is a way to change some look and feel together with CSS changes. My first question was ‘why are there so many template files?’ As an experienced WordPress theme developer I would say you only need a few. Like forums.php, topics.php and replies.php. I lost my way. Which template is used for which page?

As long as everything works, it’s okay. But then I ran into problems. I am totally lost. I don’t know what is the right way to embed bbPress into WordPress. Just by creating a page? Or add the template files to my custom theme? Both ways got me into the same problems.

I love WordPress, I love to be active in translating and contributing to various projects, I love to help organizing my local WordCamp, but I don’t love to be lost. In my opinion bbPress should work as easy as any other theme file in WordPress. Where you can construct your own page using functions, which are available in a Codex.

[Chantal Coolsma]

I know. I would love to contribute to bbPress. But for a beginner with bbPress it is difficult to find where to start. A bbPress Codex with bbPress specific features would be welcome. But for a start a good documentation would be most helpfull.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress isn’t only an Automattic project, anyone is free to contribute their time towards improving any of the things mentioned above.

[cruthas]

Using bbpress 2.0 and the current plugin

using current version of wordpress

I am sure it is something simple, but I can’t figure it out and after hours of banging my head I am posting for some help.

Not sure why, but every forum leads to a blank page.

http://www.climberism.com/forums

click on any of the forum and it leads to a blank page.

Any guidance would be great!

dingles and OC2PS I’m having this very same exact problem.

BBPress has a converter but I cannot get anything to work right there and no one seems to be around to help me directly with my issue. I’ve been trying to get my forum converted for a month and a half now. I’m at my wits end.

So I’m coming back to Orson’s plugin in last desperate attempt to try once again even though I’ve always gotten the same conversion failed messages.

Dingles, could you share in more detail what you did to get it to work?

Or OC2PS if you figured it out?

I would be forever indebted!!!

The edit from atiminou3 worked for me. Thanks!

[jangles]

I’m curious to know how well bbpress scales. As it stands right now, I’m beginning to think that WordPress is a bit of a dog despite being good for a number of things, relatively speaking. I haven’t seen many using bbpress other for simple support type sites – does anyone use it on a larger scale?

[Jose Conti]

Hi @pkiula,

How Sean_A say, WangGuard is a WordPress Plugin but works with bbPress 2.x

Install WangGuard is as simple as going to Plugins tab -> Add New -> search for WangGuard and install it.

Ones you install WangGuard, you will need an API Key.

Regards

[Sean_A]

Hi Pkiula,

WangGuard actually will ONLY work with 2.x versions of bbPress, so you’ll be fine to use it. It won’t work with the standalone versions.

To install it you would just install it as though you were doing any other WordPress plugins, go to your admin panel, plugins section, and install.

[Sean_A]

Hi Crisium,

What version of bbPress? If it’s 2.x then what you need is this plugin for wordpress:

http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/17/members-wordpress-plugin

I currently have it installed on WordPress 3.3.1 and bbPress 2.0.2 with no problems.

[pkiula]

Thanks so much! These look pretty good. Will give them a try..

[Chantal Coolsma]

The plugin directory overhere is pretty much outdated. They were made for the original version of bbPress.

Newer plugins can be found in the WordPress plugin directory:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress

[pkiula]

Will WangGuard work with the “BB WordPress Plugin” version? (Not the standalone version of BBPress). I am using 2.0.2 Plugin.

If yes, then where should I install this plugin? Which folder?

[pkiula]

Hi. I have downloaded the BBpress plugin for WP. In this version how do I install plugins for BB? There is no “my-plugins” folder.

Thanks!

[Chantal Coolsma]

Documentation is limited. A lot of information found, is pointing to the old version of bbPress.

Fact is:

– There is limited documentation about where to start (other than installing bbPress)

– There is limited documentation about how to enable theme support

– When you run into problems, you are on your own.

Somebody at Automattic should decide that some people should work dedicated on bbPress and bbPress only, otherwise nothing will change.

My 2 cents…

[condairy]

The theme I have uploaded in my main wp themes folder or the theme I have uploaded in the bbpress theme folder?

[Chantal Coolsma]

Hi,

I installed bbPress 2.0.2 on WordPress 3.3.1. Embedded it in the site of a customer. There are some forums created. All are Forum, Open and Public. Some topics are added by an Administrator. So far everything ok.

When a user with role Forum Participant logs in, it can access the forum, but no topics are shown:

This forum contains 4 topics and 0 replies, and was last updated by xxx 1 min ago.

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

Administrators do see the topics. What is happening here?
