I don’t want to use sub-forum at all in bbPress.

How do I configure bbPress 2 so that there is only one forum (no sub-forums)?

[frooyo]

How do I make bbpress 2 to display on the front page (root level)?

I just installed WordPress 3.3 with the bbPress 2.0.2 plug-in for http://example.com

But do see the actual forum, you have to go to http://example.com/?post_type=forum

How to I make ?post_type=forum display on the frontpage of http://example.com ?

What about questions #1a and #1b ?

We still have a problem with spam and bbPress. We’re still getting 40+ spam posts a day. We have tried quite a few things to get rid of this problem but nothing seems to be working.

Currently our site is running the latest version of bbPress, we have the Akismet Plugin activated & running, and we also have the Stop Spammer Registrations reCAPTCHA Plugin for new user registration.

We have tried the reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0 this didn’t make much difference and we couldn’t use this Plugin in conjunction with the spammer registration Plugin so have removed it for now for testing.

We are running out of ideas and things to try. Here is an image illustrating the crap being posted on our forums: http://instinct-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/bbpress-spam.jpg

Can anybody else relate to this?

You could always use WordPress network mode and give each of your Universities their own ‘blog’ on the network. Then it would be a matter of simply setting up a bbPress forum for each blog site.

bbPress works with 90% of all the themes out there. If you are using the default bbPress theme, then it may take a few css tweaks to get it working properly.

[Anointed]

for bbPress the theme files are in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten

[Anointed]

Not sure where you went wrong from what I can see. I do see that there is no css from bbpress in your theme anywhere.

As to your questions about sytles and functions, yes you can either combine them together or use include statements to include separate files for bbpress if you wish.

@shooo

With a site that large and complex, I would probably suggest contacting AWJunkies on his bbconverter site and simply pay to have him convert it personally for you. He has converted sites much lareger than yours without problems. Frankly he’s a wizard with databases, so might as well have an expert take care of it for you. We’re not talking a lot of money here anyhow, and it will save any frustration you are having.

[frooyo]

1a. Has this site (bbpress.org/forum) been converted to bbPress 2 yet?

1b. If not, why not?

2. Where can I find a demo site (both front end & admin) of bbPress 2 so that I can “kick the tires”

[shooo]

watch the last topic on phpmyadmin, you can try to delete this topic?

For me it’s a disaster. 160 000 to upload messages, I left my pc tune 24 hours and my PC reboot, can not return, I must repeat: ‘(

but the links in the posts are broken, the smiley worse, it generates a link rambling … even if this plugin is very generous and left a good feeling, that’s 3 months I waited, finally, I’m at the point of give up and keep my phpbb, but if I have a holy horror!

Hi All!

I’m getting quite far and have overcome a few problems myself which has been fun, but I am stuck with the style issue.

My theme and test is here: http://www.coffeesocial.co.uk/forums/forum/coffee-social-forum/

I am running a theme called Continuum, with a child theme that adds a few extra bits to the main theme.

I got as far as installing the files from the settings folder into my child theme folder (actually functions.php and style.css were overwritten because Filezilla did not warn me!!!)

Was that supposed to happen? Because it messed up the theme (although bbPress page style looked miles better) it still did not look much better than what it currently is: http://www.coffeesocial.co.uk/forums/forum/coffee-social-forum/

That aside, I went back and replaced the functions and style files with the correct ones from the original child theme to make my website look and function right.

Can I merge the two files style and functions to then include both necesarry code elements to let my theme and bbPress look correct?

It would be stupid to let the bbPress style and funcions overwrite becasue then it would mess up everyones themes. What did you guys do to get it working on a custom theme (i.e. not the one that comes with bbPress).

Cheers

[thaiaday]

thank you

[bizwizkid22]

I’m looking as well. It seems the FAQ file names dont jibe with the file names in my bbp-twentyten/ dir with all the bbpress files.

It would be really helpful to give a little more foundational information so I can get down to modifying the core templates of bbpress.

I’m using JQ theme which doesn’t have any references to bbpress so I’m assuming all bbpress files are in the above twentyten dir.

Thanks!

I tried to find the thread that worked for me, but can’t find it and don’t remember what I did. I know I did not install bbPress via BuddyPress so I don’t suggest you do that.

If you can wait this should fix itself with BuddyPress 1.6 and bbPress 2.1.
