Hi there!

I have created a new user on my new bbpress installation, with the role of ‘forum participant,’ which I assume means access to the forums.

However it doesn’t seem to be working out! (see screen capture at http://simplemethod.ca/wp-content/uploads/forum-not-working.jpg)

Thanks wondering what I’m doing wrong! Appreciate this great plugin so far it has been a joy to use.

Best Regards,

Drew

Amazing, Pairmybeer, a simple and elegant answer — it works — many thanks!

[Anointed]

Got your twitter message but could not reply back. Need to send you private links. New vs. is much improved.

I’ve done a site with 300k posts, and I know Adam has one with over a million so 100k should be just fine.

[Pairmybeer]

See this post for your answer. I had the same issue and resolved it with this. Just a couple of steps.

Sounds good. I haven’t started my third test yet.

My plan is to convert the Theme Hybrid forums over in the near future. There’s something like 100K+ posts on there, so I’m running this locally to see how it goes.

I am using WP 3.3-RC2 + latest nightlies of bbpress 2.1 and BuddyPress 1.6. I am trying to get BuddyPress’s group forums replaced by bbpress. Once I disable “Discussion Forums” settings in Buddypress then bbpress settings will show me the option “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”.

I can’t get it to work. Is this still in development or am I doing something wrong? Following trac timeline I thought this should work now.

Can someone please clear me up or guide me through the process to get Buddypress group forums working with this bbpress setting???

Unfortunately I don’t like BuddyPress Group forums…

Hi,

I’m running a bbPress 2 within BuddyPress, so bbp_reply_author_link(); links to the BuddyPress profile – domain.com/members/username. I’d like to change that link so that the username links to the WordPress author page (domain.com/author/userame). Changing the user slug in the bbPress settings to “author” didn’t help.

So – how is it possible to change that link or alternatively to display the username only, without any link?

Thanks,

neontrauma

I installed bbpress on my WordPress site. I am able to define forums and topics within my admin area in WordPress, however the forum doesn’t show up in my menu bar.

Hi i tried using the code [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] as

[bbp-single-forum id=$Introduction] where Introduction is the forum id, but it is not working. Please help me. Can you exactly mention what is the forum id here, is it the title what we provide for the forum .

@Justin

Turns out I messed up and did not upload the latest vs. of the converter. Give me a minute and I’ll get everything straightened out.

Sorry about that, my fault entirely

[il_dandi]

Excuse me for this simple question… can you tell me the differences in WP and BBPress between:

Pages

Posts

Categories

???

Categoy is a group of post? (not pages) OK?

In mean I can insert: pages and categories (not post) OK?

I’ve this simple problem

[il_dandi]

I’ve installed bbpress and WP

I’d like to know if users forum, can create new post attaching photos??

How many??? Can I create a forum post with many photos (not only 1) and allow users to reply?

Thanks

[Justin Tadlock]

Some feedback:

The first test run didn’t convert the forums from bbPress 1.x. So, the topics and replies didn’t have a forum.

I tried a second test run and the forums were converted. I stopped the process at this point.

I’m going to give it a third test run to see if it’ll work.

Hi Raphaelsuzuki – no, making a page (with full width template) and setting it as the base slug doesn’t work I’m afraid.

I’m not using TwentyTen, I’m using a child theme based on Thematic. I ended up just filtering the sidebar away with the following in my main theme’s functions.php:

function remove_sidebar() {

if(function_exists('is_bbpress') && is_bbpress()){

return FALSE;

} else {

return TRUE;

}

}

add_filter('thematic_sidebar', 'remove_sidebar');

Hope that helps someone in future.

I’m using bbPress 2 sitewide forums with BuddyPress 1.5. I am using the bp-default theme and the bbp-twentyten default theme for bbPress. I can favorite existing forum topics, but they don’t show up in a user’s favorites tab in their activity stream/profile. When I click on the “This topic is one of your favorites” link, I just get redirected to the profile page.

Favorites in the activity stream itself are working fine.

Edit: specified using BP 1.5.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I first installed the plugin, after using the standalone version of bbPress, it appears as though some but not all of the posts on the standalone ‘converted over’ to the plugin. We still have the standalone live, as we work out kinks in the plugin, but how can I move the posts over to the plugin version?

You can see the standalone here: http://www.gogo-gringo.com/forum/

and the plugin version here: http://www.gogo-gringo.com/forums/

I hope to get some help ASAP.. I want to take down the old forum as soon as I can!

Thank you very much and thanks for all the hard work on the new plugin! (BTW I am using version 2.0.2 of the plugin)

I am wondering if there is a way with bbPress 2 to close forums to new topics, but allow users to reply to existing forum topics within that forum (or subforum). Ideally this would emulate the functionality of this bbPress standalone plugin:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

Currently, closing a forum restricts users’ ability to create topics and reply to existing topics (including topics in open subforums).

I found someone else raising this issue in the WordPress forums, here, but wasn’t sure that it was the most appropriate place to ask the question.

Spam is hard to deal with in bbpress, WordPress itself does a much better job. For one thing, I would like to see replies to see if it is really spam, but it doesn’t seem like I can view it without marking it as “Not Spam”.

Also, I would like to see a “Delete permenantly” button in the Spam list for both topics and replies.

I think that bbPress also needs better notification, or a setting for “Topics/Replies must be approved the first time”. I had 20 topics that were spam that had showed up in my forums, but I don’t get much traffic, so I didn’t realize they were there.

Hello guys, thank you Adam for all the work you put into this converter! I really can’t wait for the updated version! Now I would like to ask all of you one maybe stupid question but is it somehow possible to convert the author’s of the posts without creating an entry in the wp_users database? My problem is that I have converted my whole site (I was previously using blog:CMS and punbb forum) into WordPress and now I decided that I will ask all my free users to create a new account for WP (to have fresh password, etc.) but I obviously can’t do this until I delete all the users that have been created by the converter. Yet once I delete them, their posts get deleted as well. I also tried to convert the forum without the users but the problem is that the forum then gets converted without the authors of the posts . So I am in a dead end here… I would basically need to keep forum’s authors (only name is sufficient) without creating an entry in the wp_users database (so that my users may register for WP using the same e-mail). Thank you very much for your help/advice/suggestions. All the best from Misha

@Hagandasz

I had problems finding this, too.

Go to Forums on Dashboard.

Hover the mouse over the title of the forum, and a link comes up at the bottom of the page. (In Opera it does, anyway)

e.g. http://pour-your-heart-out.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=36&action=edit

in this case, $forum_id is 36

you don’t use the $

The same principle works with the rest. I know it says “post=36” but I guess that’s just how wordpress stores stuff.

My website has already installed WordPress 3.2 at mydomain.com/blog/. Recently I installed the bbpress 2.0 plugin, trying to set up a forum for my site. However, from what I can see, I can set up the forum as mydomain.com/blog/forums/. But what I really want to do is set it up as mydomain.com/forums/, which means I want to let the blog and fourm appear to be in separate and parallel directories (not one inside another). Can somebody tell me how to do it?

Thanks!

Since the WordPress discussion boards increased along with bbPress underneath the cover, bbPress had been examined in order to it’s complete capability, resulting in a number of custom remaking as well as tweaking to support the actual development as well as development associated with WordPress right into a world-wide acclaimed running a blog system.
