Hello.

Have bbpress installed, have the forums setup.

I do not want the forums as part of the main page of the site.

I have a bbpres widget on a secondary page to login into the forum.

Heres where the problem lies.

After logging in the user is sent to the welcome or main screen.

How do I alter this setting?

Also is there a way to disable the dashboard for users other than admins?

Thanks

Paul

Hey you guys, been away for a bit and was excited to see the phpBB conversion being added to the list of converters. Thank you so much Alex and congratulations on the marriage!

I have a problem that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet so I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong. I’m trying to run my conversion and I’m getting the “exceeded 75000 questions” and so I was going to have to keep trying to run it every hour to finally get it all converted.

HOWEVER, I keep getting an odd end result after I get the screen with the error messages that it will then take me to my login page but it’s the 5 minutes wordpress installation option and it asks me for my login info and then it says page not found.

My forum is at http://www.mywebsite/forum

My wordpress site is at http://www.mywebsite/blog

After converstion it will send me to http://www.mywebsite/blog/wp-admin/install.php

If I put in my old info to the wordpress login it will kick out another list of the conversion errors.

I’m not sure if I’m having root directory problems or something going on with the conversion. I’ll keep looking but does anyone know immediately off hand what I’ve got going wrong or what it could be?

It’s weird.

ETA: I just found that the conversion has changed my wp-config file settings for the database name, dbase username and password. It looks like it puts in some generic settings that you guys have. Here’s what my config says…

/** The name of the database for WordPress */

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wrd_kk3k2nhle4’);

/** MySQL database username */

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘tsupport’);

/** MySQL database password */

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘123456’);

Should I try to find a certain converter file and change this default setting within that file? The converter must not have taken my settings that I put into the form provided to do the conversion.

After further research it seems there’s just an issue with the bbpress toolbar plugin not working since the bbpress bbcode plugin works fine.

[Crisium]

Just installed the Codestyling Localization plugin… it spits out a message: “Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.”

Well,.. the author would be bbPress.

any comments?

I’m unable to use this plugin on bbPress but works fine on everything else.

regards,

Peter

Hello,

Maybe I’m doing something wrong but it seems when I activate bbPress plugins they do not take effect for my bbPress forums that were established through BuddyPress. Is this expected behavior or am I doing something wrong or have an incorrect expectation?

Thanks

I tried what you suggested.

At my forums root http://klymene.net/forums/ you will see 2 forums listed – English and Hindi. You will also see that there is an indication of some content under English.

If you click on English http://klymene.net/forums/forum/english no topics are listed.

On top of page, you will see error message

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

You can go directly to http://klymene.net/forums/topic/test and see the topic which should be under the English forum. Topic actions like Reply are absent though.

On top of page, you will see error

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

P.S. In Settings > Permalinks, the setting is

/%postname%.html

[Anointed]

you have mail, check your critter club contact email.

[Anointed]

Make sure that you have gone into settings -> forums and clicked save. I would also suggest going into settings -> permalinks, choose a nice url structure from the list and also click save.

This ‘should’ set the permalinks for everything so that your topics will show up. Hopefully solving the problem.

Hello, I would like to create users in bulk is this possible with just bbpress i.e. is there a plugin.

I have tried to created a csv and imported into PHPMYADMIN and all the data is populated (example below) but when I go into bbpress users to look what has imported it says “Inactive (no role)” next to the user. Is it possible to assign the users a role and where is this stored?

Also how does the user_pass string work or is this where I am going to get stuck?

ID,user_login,user_pass,user_nickname,user_email,user_url,user_registered,user_status,display_name

Oh man, I wish there was a better documentation for this, it’s not that easy to figure out… after a couple of hours of Googleing and trying all kinds of combinations, the only thing that works for me is :

Place the mo files in the plugin language folder as following /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/bbpress-xx_XX.mo

This is not ideal, as next time we update bbpress the translation files will be overwritten. The translation files should probably be in : /wp-content/languages/, in /wp-include/languages/ or in the child theme we use but none of these work for me.

Any ideas on how to have the translation files outside of the plugin directory?

Anointed, I’m facing a bit of a problem.

I have just installed bbPress plugin into my WordPress (with Weaver II theme – based on TwentyEleven theme).

When I go to the forums root, the layout seems acceptable.

However, when I click on a forum, I am taken to a page where I do not see any topics listed under the forum, even though I have created a topic under this forum, and this is acknowledged in the forum list (root).

If I go directly to the topic URL by typing it in address bar, I do get to the topic page, which is visible just fine (except that no reply, flag, quote etc buttons are available).

Please help!

I’m now interested in “hiring” someone to help me with creating my bbPress forums. I really need the help and it seems like bbPress is just out of my league.

If you are interested, please let me know!

Thanks,

Currently when using the BBpress 2 plugin with Buddypress, the notification a user receives when @mentioned in a topic is:

‘Username has mentioned you in an activity update’, which links to the activity update of the forum post, not the actual forum post.

Does anyone know how to change the notification text, and the link so that it takes the user to the forum post?

Hello,

So I have made a few posts around this forum and the wordpress forums about my technical difficulties with bbPress integrating into my theme… I’ve yet to figure it all out.

I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post this in or not, but I would like to “hire” someone to help me with my forums. I want to make them with bbPress and have them full-width, while still retaining the main menu and logo at the top of the website…

If anyone is interested in helping me out, please let me know!

Thanks,

Corey

I was able to do this with the following code:

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'show_stickies' => false ) ) ) : ?></p>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Alternatively, is there a way to use the WP-Page Navi plugin instead if this is not editable?

[OAEErra]

I see – I meant port the plugin from BP to BBP if it was possible.

Hopefully some kind soul can get a plugin released soon!

[neodoxa]

*Bump*…

What I’m aiming for is just something like this…

http://purerover.com/forum

Maintaining my main menu and logo at the top, while having full width organized forums/subforums below.

Is there a way to do this with bbPress or phpBB3?

Any help with this is super duper appreciated!

Thanks,

Corey

I’m using simple:press right now (www.simple-pres.com)

And, I really badly want to convert to bbpress. Is there any importer or plugin or something available?

[frank tredici]

I installed WordPress 3.3 and BuddyPress 1.5.2. BuddyPress seems to be considered my site.

The bbPress plugin already existed after I first installed BuddyPress.

I now want to run a Bulletin Board site so I created a new site and gave it a directory name off the root install.

When I FTP to the server, the directory I created does not show up yet I can render a site at the address that includes the directory in the url. I also get the Twenty Eleven theme with the site.

I went to the site and activated the bbPress plugin.

The Bulletin Board site looks like traditional WordPress.

How do I get the new site to look like your bulletin board site?

jloosli,

I just spent the bulk of my morning trying to figure this out and finally came up with a solution that involves creating a child theme to my current theme (not necessarily a requirement to do it this way, but I wanted to keep the BBPress files organized and separate from the rest of my theme).

In the child theme I copied over all of the BBPress template files the ship with the plugin and then updated my site to run from the Child Theme. This allows the appropriate template files to be picked up and the forum snapped back to life.

You could also just copy in the necessary template files to the root of your theme, a bit messier, but that’d work as well. Anyway….I’m finally getting back to work on the thing (cleaning up all of the default templates) now after a 4-5 hour detour.

Oh…and you’ll need to enable theme support for ‘bbpress’ too in your functions file if you go my route (either child theme or using your ‘main’ theme):

// Add bbPress theme support

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

Wish I knew why it worked before and suddenly stopped, that still has me stumped…but at least I understand the structure of how this all goes together now:

BTW, if you haven’t already seen it, this helped a ton:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

Hope you get further down the road too!

[jloosli]

I was hoping things would change with WordPress 3.3, but still no go. I’m working on a SSO plugin for Simple Machines, but ideally I’d like to get bbPress working.

[Maximus2]

or better phpbb conversion?

Is there a plugin that allows mods/admins to move a post from a topic to another topic?

This would be extremely useful plugin for mods and is typically widely available on other forum software.
