I think I may have figured it out.

If I add a topic through the WP dashboard it creates this wierd “comments are closed” thing, but if I add them directly through the blog it seems to work…

Strange.

[Smatthee]

Thanks for the post, it has been a great help!

I am still struggling to get the topics to work. When I click on the topic it has my description an then it says “Comments are closed.” and there is no way to post anything…

Have a look here: http://urbanbeeguild.org.au/?page_id=227

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks,

Simon

Yeah, the documentation is way out of date. What you are seeing is the docs to the old standalone 1x vs. of bbPress. There are a couple of sticky threads in the forums that will help to describe how to utilize the new 2x branch. Also you can find pointers throughout the forums. At the moment I don’t think there are any ‘real’ docs about 2x yet.

Sorry, I’m new to bbPress. I was referencing the docs found under the Docs tab at the top of this website.

I am using version “Version 2.0.1”.

I installed it through WordPress’ plugin installer, could that cause an issue?

[Anointed]

Sounds like you might be reading the docs for the old 1x system?

bbPress 2.0 does not have an admin panel as it does not need one, being a native WordPress plugin and all.

@Ed

Alex is out of the office for the weekend. I’ll ask him on Monday and report back. I talked to him on Wednesday and he said he was working on a new vs. but I did not ask what was being added.

*I do know that he offers custom created systems if you need it right away. There is a contact form on the bbconverter site to reach him directly.

Created a CubePoints module for bbPress this morning

I’m trying to get bbPress set up. I don’t see a way to access the bbPress admin mentioned below:

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums.”

I read somewhere it’s accessed by going to siteurl/bb-admin but that returns a page not found.

The forum is there and seems to work otherwise, however.

aun no esta la traducción al español de bbpress 2.1?

[Ed]

I hate to nag, but I would really like to know if this will work with punBB anytime in the near future?

If not, I will just move to a different system – my current setup is just spam infested – no punBB plugin can stop it. I really need to jump ship soon

[Jdamonte]

I’m sorry I see that its to add to .htaccess…thanks again, I’ll let you know how I go. CHeers

[Jdamonte]

Thanks for this info, can you also tell me where to place the re-write rules for the main site and sub sites?

[tony webb]

I have integrated bbpress in my wordpress account.

I have made a test forum, topic and post and wanted to see how they appear on the wppress forum page that I made. They don’t display even though I set the page category to forum.

What do I need to do to get my forum to display in wordpress?

If it helps – I have installed and activated the following plugins;

bbpress

bbpress integration

bbpress post toolbar

I have a similar situation, although I will have forums on other subsites eventually, so I have it enabled over the whole site, but I only created forums on one subsite.

The only thing I think I had to do was set up rewrites in .htaccess from all other subsites and the main site to view user profile pages.

For the main page:

RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

For subsites:

RewriteRule ^[subsite]/users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

Also, I am using the “Move Privacy Options” plugin to make the subsite private, and I noticed that the bbpess rss feeds are not private. I am currently woking on fixing this and so far this is what I have got, which is by no means perfect.

You will need to find the functions bbp_display_topics_feed_rss2 and bbp_display_replies_feed_rss2 in bbp-topic-functions.php and bbp-reply-functions.php respectively, and add this code to the beginning of each fuction

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

exit;

}

$user = wp_authenticate($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);



if ( !$user || is_wp_error($user) ) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

}

Which should limit who can read the rss feeds to people who have a login to your wordpress site.

Hi, I am trying to set up the bbpress forum as private on a subdirectory of a multi site and am not sure of the most practical approach. If I enable it on the subsite I can’t make the pages such as login, register, lost p/w etc. as the templates don’t show on the sub-directory only on the main site.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.

[Ash Shaw]

Just to clarify a few things:

I further updated my local bbPress plugin to 2.0.1 (as on dev and live) and it continues to work fine. The issue still remains on dev and live though.

Our forum landing page consists of the template parts content-archive-forum.php and content-archive-topic.php.

content-archive-topic.php calls form-topic.php – we’ve used js to show/hide the form (or in this case the error message) when the “New Topic” button is pressed.

The issue only occurs on the forum landing page – adding a topic to individual forums works fine.

If it will help you can check out one of the sites here: http://homemag.co.za/

Login with facebook on the landing page, and then go to http://homemag.co.za/forums (we’ve temporarily hidden the menu item).

Thanks,

Iain

Hi all,

I am looking into possible ways to rank forum topics via user ratings, ie, a feature request forum where users can vote on if they want the features suggested in each topic. I have been looking at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/screenshots/ which claims it has bbpress support, but I cannot find out how to set it up. Has anyone trued this before or know of other possible rating plugins

I just tried a fresh install of wordpress and bbpress in a test subfolder, and IT’S WORKING ! What did I do to my main install ?

[elenazvarici]

Hi guys

I am running WordPress 3.2.1 bbpress 2.0.1 single site, platformpro theme.

After several installs and reinstalls of the bbpress plugin while not working, I think the settings are persistent to the database and maybe in some other places, which makes the reinstalls not effective. What should I do ? Empty the bb_ tables in my database or simply drop them ? please note I am a newbie.

I tried clearing the tables but somehow I kept having the same issues: My problem imo is that forums show as blog posts. I am also trying to run the pagelines.com platformpro / base theme which I bought some time ago.

Please tell me what should I delete / clear to make sure to have a fresh install ?

Files / tables.

Thank you very much.

I am having the same issue with 2.0.1 on vanilla install. I found this thread which seems to contain an identical error: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbp-plugin-install-users-cannot-create-topics

Is it possible that this has resurfaced somehow in the latest update?

Thanks in advanced.

[Ash Shaw]

One more update: I tested on my local install with bbPress 2.0, an the issue does not occur.

The dev and live sites are on 2.0.1, and the issue occurs on both. So I’m thinking this may be a bug in the latest plugin update?

[Ash Shaw]

Hi,

Members who log into our sites through Facebook (using WP-FB-Autoconnect) are unable to create new topics. When clicking on the “New Topic” button a message displays: “You cannot create new topics at this time”.

At first I thought it must be related to user privileges, but I’ve tried setting FB connected users to administrator and the issue still occurs. Members who log in with the traditional login form do not experience this problem.

Using:

WP 3.2.1

BuddyPress 1.5.1

bbPress 2.0.1

WP-FB-Autoconnect 2.1.6

Hello mr. globetrotterdk, for your first question unfortunately there is no available documentation for bbpress 2.0 up to now.. pray that developer will update this soon. Thanks for them who makes their effort to update.

for your second question, have you try using bbpress shortcodes?

[centr_kubani]

Здравствуйте! Интересует такой вопрос.. На многих форумах уже используется такая в постах кнопка, как загрузка изображений на бесплатный хостинг. Вот пример http://www.postimage.org/mod.php

Очень удобно. Суть такова, что с поста пользователь загружает на бесплатный хостинг картинки и автоматически ссылка вставляется в пост.

Вопрос: Есть ли подобное для BBpress?..

Спасибо!
