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?

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

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

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

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.

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?

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!

[benfrain]

Sure, I have a custom theme and this sits in the functions.php and loads in a block of HTML for single posts that aren’t in certain categories. However, since installing bbPress, this block of HTML is also showing on the forums (it shouldn’t) so I need to exclude it. Someone offered some help on another forum so I now have:

if ( 'forum' != get_post_type() && !in_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && !is_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) ) { ?>

Which means my forums now show but this chunk of HTML is now showing on pages too (it shouldn’t show there either) so I need to now exclude pages as well! Any idea how I might do that?

[Jdamonte]

On the same topic, can a standalone instal of bbpress be set up on a sub domain?

Where are the files for reg, log in, lost p/w etc.?

[OPI Axxium Gel]

I need that code. PLease send me! Thank you.

[maxfaction]

I was able to get it working after 4 hours of manipulating css code… which isn’t uncommon when bending code to suit your theme design. I’m still working on a few bugs, nothing serious but its tedious nonetheless… so I’ll contribute my discoveries when I’m done. It’s not for the faint-hearted to be sure, but its do-able. At least you won’t have to invest as much time as I did to “get it”. More to come…

Hi,

I have installed WP 3.2.1 and activated “Site wide forums” option. Then I created several public forums in the FORUMS menu of bbpress.

Now I have the problem that I don’t see a single forum when I click on “Neues Thema” (german version). I can publish new entries in groups (the standard BuddyPress Forum option I think).

What do I have to do to be able to publish entries in a created forum?

Additionally: I have inserted the bbpress Forum lsit widget which shows all created forums. When I click on a forum in the widget list, a new page is displayed but without a forum title and the displayed forum entries are the same in all forums.

Thanks.

Hi devs.

bbpress looks great on our new site, great work getting us an integrated forum. But major problem is what others have described here: the login to our site is what gets displayed.

I notice that this thread hasn’t had a posting for about a year, so I’m just wondering if there are any answers in new versions.

I’m a bit out of my depth with some of the technicalities because this was set up for us, but is there an easy fix?

Thanks

Richard

[rrandolph]

I second this. I saw some old posts about removing tags with css but none work on bbpress 2.0, perhaps I entered them wrong.
