Hi, I pimp my bbPress forum on my directory themes site at http://howtotheme.info/

How-to Theme brings together all the premium themes directory listing services you’ll ever need in one convenient site. We are the premier themes directory, specially in how-to themes directory.

Basically its just a clients support forum and located at http://howtotheme.info/forums with just basic bbPress installation and some css customization to serve support for my clients.

Great forum software and thanks bbPress.

I have read through the following topics below and tried the mentioned plugins on bbpress 1.1 and none of them seem to work. It stops external links working all together.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/target-_blank

I would like to have external links open in a new window. I have filled my domain in like in _ck_ post-20612

Is there some reason why it would not be working on a later version?

Well guys, I don’t think so… Plugin and everything for it ought to be stored in one folder insidie plugin folder. How to keep translations?

1) not to delete them while updating (however don’t know, if it is possible)

2) after update, automatical download of language file based on locales… (as i.e. NextGen Gallery does…)

I realize this is a total noob question, and yet I’m not sure what the answer is.

Basically, I’d like to have a wordpress page, “Forum,” link directly to the bbpress forum.

Apparently, just setting up a page called “forum” doesn’t cut it.

What is the proper protocol?

The forum is set up here:

http://www.lsatwin.net/forum/lsat/score-higher/

Thanks.

Nope, bbPress 2x doesn’t have that but you can add it to your own theme if you choose.

[Anointed]

I would start by deactivating all other plugins and also activate the default twentyeleven theme, then choosing one of the default url settings, click save. Then go to settings -> forums, and click save.

It sounds like maybe another plugin or a theme setting is interfering.

If it fixes the problem, then activate one plugin at a time to find the problem one..

My best guess…

[Anointed]

To do that you would need to install WordPress in network subdomain multisite setup. Then you would create a new site ‘forum’ and put bbPress onto that site.

There may be other ways, but that is the only way I know how to do it.

Ok figured out my problem at least.

Deactivated bbpress and then re-activated it. Removed all installed forums. Trashed then emptied the trash, along with topics

Recreated forums. Now viewable by all users.

I have just installed the BBpress plugin for the latest version of WordPress. I cannot see the reply or post new topic functions. I searched the docs on here and it says I need to do a ‘user role map’ but I cannot find this. I have looked through WP Settings > Forums and this is the BBpress settings but there is nothing for user role map. I cannot see where it would be else where.

Any help is great, thanks!

I’m quite new to the whole localization deal so I’m not quite sure.

Apparently the folder /wp-include/languages/ is for the translation of WordPress itself. So my guess is that /wp-content/languages/ would be the best place to place the translations.

Then its not affected by theme or plugin updates, and yet it’s in wp-content which is the folder that should contain every non-standard WordPress files so that it’s easy to update WordPress itself.

I’m not sure if it is a standard folder, of it’s the plugin qTranslate that created it.

Some other thoughts ?

Get this plugin: http://serverpress.com/products/search-bbpress/

(see also https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575 which is where I found it)

I just converted from IPB to bbpress, and moved all my posts over.

Now the problem is, all posts now contains html codes, instead of showing images, making line breaks etc.

This is obviously a user permission problem, because when I post the same codes with the admin account, it shows right.

Is there any way that I can allow users unrestricted html code, just like admin has?

[shortstack]

i want to change the URL of my forum.

instead of being mywebsite.com/forum, i’d like it to be forum.mywebsite.com.

i can’t find the URL hard coded into the database, so i’m guessing there is something in the plugin that references home_url but i am not sure where it is set.

can someone please help?

I’m trying to figure out if I have a theme problem, or if it is a problem with BBpress itself.

Running WP 3.3, BP 1.5, and BBP 2.0

I don’t have a New Topic link at the top of the forum the way the old BBpress used to have (and this forum has). It’s a usability thing to enable to user to jump down to the input box quickly.

Does BBpress have it and my theme just not displaying it, or is it not part of the functionality of BBpress plugin?

[Jermaine Maree]

No issues so far. Love that the templates are no longer using tables. Being able to override templates without copying the entire folder is working out great as well!

Tried just now.

Didn’t make any difference to the forum page, but the topic page got worse…

When I try to go directly to topic page with the URL, I only get a white page with the following error:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in ../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201



Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in ../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

I’m translating the bbPress pot file to Danish.. it seems all the .po danish files are not up to date.

I have a problem I can’t find the following:

“EDIT | CLOSE | STICK (TO FRONT) | MERGE | TRASH | SPAM” in the pot file?!

can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks Anointed

Sorry I must of given the impression that I new what I was doing! Importing CSV data into MYSQL is about the limit.

I have taken a look at the bbconvertor code but I am still none the wiser.

I am able to change membership manually in bbpress front end, I still can’t see where this parameter is set in MSSQL.

I am also able to change the password which then works with a new password string which I think is MD5 – I don’t really understand how this works.

I can do it manually through the front end but was just wondering if there was a quicker way.

Hello all I am also having this problem

Website is http://www.omen-guild.net

Mines a little wierder. Administrators can see the posts, so can Forum moderators. However all other roles can not. If you click on the Forum it says there is 1 post and 0 replies. But right under neath it says o bother etc

http://omen-guild.net/forums/forum/guild-forum/

going directly to the permalink

http://omen-guild.net/forums/topic/respec-costs-cooldown/

doesnt work either.

I have changed the permalink type,

changed the theme

deactivated the bbpress

no joy.

[Anointed]

good point, how do other plugins do this?

[Anointed]

have you tried a standard permalink option just to see if it would work? /%postname%/ for example?

I’m not really sure what those errors mean, but that is my best guess, that somehow it doesn’t like the .html?

[Anointed]

Buddypress + bbPress integration will only get better. JJ is working on the next vs. which will include tighter integration between them. Eventually it will be completely transparent.

[Anointed]

This will turn off the admin section to all users except super-admins

As to the login widget, there are a number of plugins with custom WordPress login wigets, some of which include redirects. Search the WordPress repository for one that fits your needs.
