I’m not sure if this has to do with something in bbpress or wordpress itself, and it’s too early to go hunting. I know it must have something to do with a cascade somewhere.. only logical explanation. Except there’s only about.. 100 and more of them, quite possibly?

I’m working on a website for my guild, and here’s the look of what I’m talking about right here: http://bloodoath2.net/forums

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi Guys,

I finally figured out what the problem was: I had the “Post Types Order” plugin installed which is supposed to help in ordering of blog posts but apparently it affected the topics and replies in the bbPress forum too. After switching it off the order of topics and replies got fixed.

Hope this is helpful for others with the same problem.

I figured out how to create a submenu of the plugins menu in bbpress. I’m trying to create a submenu of the Appearance menu. What’s the code to do this?

[Jermaine Maree]

Are there plans to support standalone bbPress installs that have WordPress integration with the bbPress Integration plugin. I can convert everything but my users due to them residing in the WordPress database. Any insight on how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

[Jermaine Maree]

Attempting to convert from 1.0.3 standalone to 2.0.2 plugin but having an issue due to current integration. My current bbPress install is integrated with WordPress. The built-in bbPress conversion tool and the plugin that was created will not handle a standalone install with WP integration since the users table resides in the WordPress database.

Is there a way I can remove the integration and migrate my users to bbPress or other alternatives that you can suggest? Thanks!

[@ChrisClayton]

Havent tested the plugin, but most of the standalone bbpress plugins are not being actively updated any more.

Is upgrading to bbpress 2.0 out of the question? Their is alot of facebook connect plugins that will work.

The ‘simple facebook connect’ plugin over at the wordpress extend was updated last month… but, it wont work on the stand-alone version of bbpress.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/

if using bbpress 2.0 is not an option, i’ll have a look at the plugin tonight and see if anything can be fixed.

EDIT: The plugin not doing anything seems to be a facebook issue, alot of people seem to have the same issue.

[@ChrisClayton]

One of the worst things about a major update like this, is that we lose alot of great plugins – But, it’s better finding out now that their not actively updating it anymore than use it for a while and find out one day that everything’s broken

what type of html did you want your users posting?

Post toolbar allows alot of great functionality – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

It seems to do the same thing as ‘easy video embed’ by allowing users to post videos using a ‘[video]‘ or ‘[youtube]’ shortcode.

Also, because bbpress is now using WordPress post-types. you could also easily create other shortcodes to achieve what you want.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Instead of letting users do img src and giving them complete control over the output of the image, you can allow them to do ‘[image]cat.img[/image]’ to achieve the same affect in an easier way, as an example.

I do honestly think that using shortcodes (search the wordpress extend, theirs alot of shortcode plugins) would be a better option as it allows you to control it’s use properly, as i’m sure you know, some humans enjoy causing trouble – and their are afew html codes that can causing a hellish experience for your users if it gets into the hands of the wrong user.

It’s one of the reasons wordpress.com doesn’t allow some html codes

Thanks for the info on the example conversion script.

Not sure if I’ll be able to do what I need because PHP isn’t my forte but I’ll take an honest look!

It would be seriously cool if you’d put together a conversion from XML script. That way all anyone would need to do is export their forum data to xml in whatever way the conversion script needed.

Being able to use my data (learnjazzpiano.com has had it’s forums going for 16 years) is the only thing holding me back from BBPress.

Here’s the problem I’m facing:

– Yesterday, I created the following website – http://smallworldexperiences.com/

– I added the Facebook Connect mod. It worked great for a day.

— http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/

– I woke this morning and it wasn’t working. I hadn’t make any changes.

– I tested the site with Facebook’s debugger http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

– I made the appropriate changes so no errors are reported from Facebook’s end but the button still doesn’t work. Nothing happens, it’s simply dead.

Any thoughts as to what’s going wrong here?

Ditto! Its all great stuff. Thanks!!

Correct. There can’t be any hard coded links anywhere, because all themes are different and will want them in different locations with different URLs. You can use the Login Widget that’s included to get you some of the way there, but even with widgets/shortcodes/templates it won’t satisfy everyone.

Hi John, sorry not getting your point. I’m using the default install. I’ve added the plugin and the forum is showing and functional but there is no login/register links anywhere – are you saying there is no login/register link within the default install/theme?

This is changed in the in-development 2.1 version.

Create pages, use Shortcodes or Page Templates.

Here is the site I’m working on: http://testtrack.tv/forums

It’s WordPress site using a custom child theme of the Thematic wordpress theme/framework.

As you can see, I have used the WordPress functions.php to filter away the sidebar to get a full width layout. Other than that, I have just the styles.css of my theme to restyle the forums slightly.

However, as far as I can tell bbPress doesn’t have a built in login/register link anywhere on the forums – why on earth not? Did I miss something?

Therefore, can anyone tell me how I add a simple login/register link within bbPress? As I’m not using the sidebar, I can’t add a widget there.

Any help hugely appreciated.

Thanks for the response, Chris.

bbPress forums/topics permits an admin to post html content. Sadly, it appears to be a time in limbo before a member can do the same. It limits the range and ease of discussion.

I will keep searching for a solution. Thanks again.

[@ChrisClayton]

Hi Philv.

The plugin has not been upgraded for BBpress 2.0+

To use that plugin you will need to download the stand-alone version or bribe the plugin developer into updating it

or; finding a new plugin that is compatible for 2.0+.

Hope that helps.

[highexistence]

Thanks for the help @will_c!

Unfortunately that didn’t work for me. Somehow I’m not even getting the above mentioned errors anymore (even before your suggestion) but AJAX is still not working.

AJAX is broken in Buddypress and BBpress and I have tried deactivating all other plugins.
