If we were having this discussion 2 years ago we would have been talking about MySpace, before that possibly MSN messenger signings, and definitely before that AoL signing. No-one has made a point about why we should develop something into the core of BBpress that is dependent on the popularity and propriety software of another company.

Hello, I’ve been trying to install bbpress and I keep getting this message.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/assoc786/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 122

What should I do to fix this? I promised client he could have a forum with his BuddyPress site.

Thankt you.

Goal: Add BuddyPress with GROUP forums using bbPress.

Situation: Current WordPress has bbPress installed as a SINGLE forum. BuddyPress is not installed yet.

Problem: (on a test WordPress site) When I add BuddyPress, bbPress uses existing files and shows up as a SINGLE forum and will NOT show up as a GROUP forum.

Q1. How do I remove/restructure bbPress so I can add BuddyPress with bbPress as a GROUP forum? (I am ok with losing current bbPress data, but would prefer to backup for a different use.)

Q2. WHERE is current bbPress forum DATABASE so I can copy (then remove) it before I install BuddyPress with Group Forums using bbPress?

Thank you for help!

Thanks for info!

Actually as WordPress allows it, I installed files in physical folder domain.com/wp, while users access the blog via domain.com/blog.

In such setup, is it possible to separate the forum from blog and access it via domain.com/forum?

Hey

I got a site with a simple php login system, is it possible to integrate bbpress with this, so my users dont have to register again for the forum, can these be connected with simple php?

Thanks

Rastarr, you may try converting your WordPress blog into bbPress standalone forums via http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-to-bbpress-converter/ and then use the bbPress plugin importer to import from the bbPress standalone. Please have a backup, cheers!

Well, it’s 7 months since the last comment and I’m wondering whether anything official did actually ‘come down the pipe’?

I’ve just converted my Drupal site over to a locally running WordPress / bbPress installation however all previous forums from my Drupal site are currently WP Posts since they’ve retained the comment structure.

I’m able to convert the Posts to Topics however the comments remain elusive, presumably since Replies are a custom content type and, for whatever reason, comments aren’t a content type. At least nothing that’s recognised by the converting plugin that I found.

Being able to convert a WP Post with comments to a Topic with Replies is about the only thing now that’s stopping the converted site from going live.

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

@monoman – If WordPress is installed in a physical folder named ‘blog’ you won’t be able to easily put bbPress in any other folder. There are advanced ways of making this work, but you’d want to hire a pro to make it go (or do some digging into moving your WP install and/or sharing user tables between installs.)

Something in your theme’s CSS is coded for comment replies and bbPress is picking it up. This has happened to a few others, and I’ll be tweaking the default theme to prevent this in 2.1.

Hi, checked around and didn’t see anything about this so I thought I’d ask. I’m trying to use Google custom search as a one-stop search engine for my buddypress/bbpress site but for some reason topics don’t show up as results, only the forums.

Anyone else experienced this/know what may be up?

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much I received it from both of you so I have databases so please don’t send anymore. I should be able to work on these tomorrow and will give an update.

[Andre]

I just sent a phpBB3 DB. It was originally phpBB2 and migrated to official way.

[SportinSS]

I have the Chameleon theme from ElegentThemes. And i am trying to find out what to do to make bbpress work. I have it installed and works great on my mobile device. So i know it’s something to do with the theme i have. But i’m not sure where to start to make it work. This is really all i need so if there is a better way of doing it I am all ears! This site is for a small staffing company (365worx.com). They post a lot of things on Craigs List. But, they want to start posting things on there site. They don’t do a lot of it. So i don’t need anything special like phpBB. But i have thought about it and just don’t care for it much. Since i am so new to this it’s a little frustrating lol. Anyway, they will only post things to one forum, and no one will reply to it. it’s just to let people know it’s there.

Thank you all for your help! Sorry if it’s a dumb question!

[AWJunkies]

I received it and ran some tests the issue is: “I have firstly migrated the punbb to bbpress 1.1 so all the tables reflect that migration”. Well the data in the table is wrong compared to a fresh bbpress and posts in it. The “post_position” column is always 1 on your site this is not accurate and causing part of your issues. I see “topic_poster” and “topic_last_poster” all 0 as well.

If you can send me your punbb database I can make a conversion file for it and will solve everything.

Anyone who is doing a two step process this to that to this please refrain from using my script and ask for the direct conversion file. Everything I have tested is fresh copies of each forum platform without ever being converted into and I haven’t been able to get any issues.

Right now I have requests for phpbb3 and punbb. I need databases for these if you want to help speed up the process. I just need to test the phpbb3 and I can go live with it so if anyone has test data would be appreciated.

[Wallach]

Thank you. For some reason, the page worked, but did not have the correct formatted look.

I just found that the bbpress widgets actually place the forum and the log-in in the right column, which may be even easier to use, and the page seems to be formatted correctly as well, so I will mainly use those.

The pairmybeer site looks good, and is very concisely branded.

[AWJunkies]

Can you send it to me aellis@trinnovations.com I will run test on it.

[MishaOLS]

Hello Adam, well, to be honest, I don’t remember, I have done the first conversion like two months ago. Now I have just used the tables from the database. But it should be the standalone version 1.1. And yes, I do have the bbconverter_translator table. Do you want me to send you my tables? thank you very much for your work and time!

Hi everyone. I’ve been trying to display posts from the forum on a static home page so that it gives the appearance of a blog. Basically, I’m using the tewntyeleven theme and I’m using the showcase.php template to display the forum entries.

you can see what I’m going for here.. http://test.objectsinmotion.org

So far, I’ve managed to modify it so that super stickies are put in the featured slideshow. The forum posts are displayed properly, and I’ve managed to pull the topic tags. One of the things I’ve been having a lot of trouble with is displaying the forum a topic is posted in as a category. Normally there is a line of text below the topic excerpt that says, “posted in (category name)” . But it seems that nothing I have tried so far is working. In fact, whenever I try to call the forum title, is displays the topic title instead.

I’m not a programmer, and I know next to nothing about php, I’ve been doing a lot of reading, and trying to learn as much as I can, but I’m just running into a brick wall here. Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated.

Showcase.php uses content.php to display all that meta data. right now it looks like this..

<?php

/**

* The default template for displaying content

*

* @package WordPress

* @subpackage Twenty_Eleven

* @since Twenty Eleven 1.0

*/

?>



<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

<h3 class="entry-format"><?php _e( 'Featured', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>

</hgroup>

<?php else : ?>

<h1 class="entry-title"><a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyeleven' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

</article><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->

Other things on my to-do list include making the comments section show number of forum replies instead of number of wordpress comments, and changing the author link so that it goes to the bbpress profile of that user instead of a wordpress post archive.

For now though, I’m hoping that someone out there can help me with the “category” issue. Anyone have any ideas?

[monoman]

My website is based on static files located at the root level and later I have added WordPress blog set up in subfolder with permalink at /blog. After installing bbPress plugin, I’m not able to separate blog and forum in permalinks. I don’t know how to setup bbPress to have forum at /forum, instead of /blog/forum, which is the default setting and looks strange.

Do you know how to setup bbPress plugin correctly to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!
