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?

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.

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.

Tom

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

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.

I have installed my wordpress and run BBpress plug-in. I decided to add additional plugin intended for BBpress which is Easy Albums – (Buddypress users create and share images, video and audio albums – the easy way.) This plug-in works properly with the default theme for BBpress but when I change it to Frisco BBPress Theme everything seems to be okey not until when I click the album tab in the profile of each users.

When I am in the tab of Activity, Profiles, Message, Friends and etc the sidebar works well and when I click on the Album tab which the Easy Albums Plug-in added that tab then the sidebar is misaligned.

I hope someone can help me about this..

[blockquote]Does registration go through normal WP reg process? I can’t find it from the forums, but the spam bots sure can![blockquote]

I believe it does so adding something like reCAPTCHA to your reg form should reduce the spam you’re getting on your forum. Something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/ for instance.

[blockquote]If not logged in, I can’t see any way to post to the forum, or any register links in the forum area. Is a setting for this (I have it set at defaults, only registered users can post, and anyone can register), or do I have to add theme support? (I’m using 2011.)[/blockquote]

You can add a link to your template linking to the wp registration page (“url.com/wp-login.php?action=register” or something like that) or simply load the bbpress login widget and add the registration link to it.

[blockquote]I forgot to mention another issue I’ve had – bbpress doesn’t get along with wp-super-cache – is there any easy way to get around that (disable the cache just for the forums tree for example)?[/blockquote]

You can try Hypercache. I believe that plugin allows you to exclude pages you don’t want to cache so you can exclude your forum from being cached.

[devotee]

I have this problem also. Topics appear in random order. I´t a fresh install of WordPress single user site, and lastest bbPress. Recounting did nothing sadly…if anyone solves this problem please let me know, the forum is unusable like this.

[tosteri]

I am not a fluent bbPress user, but best to my knowledge, the ID can be found on your controlpanel page. On the left side there is are Forums -> All forums. This page should display the forums you have made and on the far right side of your desired forum, you can see the ID number.

Also, if you hover your mouse over the forum name, the address appering to the bottom of your browser should give the same ID number, eg. …post=735&…

[John James Jacoby]

Good to hear. Looks like Pagelines is dropping support for bbPress in future versions. A shame really. I have a good relationship with a few of their guys so I’m sure we’ll get things figured out eventually.

[John James Jacoby]

Interesting. Will test some things. Can you create a ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org to remind me?

[pagal]

What’s happening with bbPress :@

I’m going to hate bbPress as plugin. Nobody is active here anymore who loves stanalone.

Cris have gone, _ck_ gone, kev, BenL now even Zearl is not listening to people.

— I often visit bbshowcase site. People write questions there, but _ck_ show her attitude. She is no more dedicated. I think I should die now!!

bbPress 2.0 You’re such a loser! That’s all I’m feeling now.

[Ramiuz]

In phpMYadmin I can browse both databases which are both the child of localhost.

Can I mark all BBpress stuff, and export it to a file, and import that into the WordPress database?

Will that work?

And if it works, will the users and posts be visible in my other BBPress installation on the wordpress database then? Or will they still need to be converted? Cause I see all the users and different values have “BB_” infront of them, while the WordPress users and values have “WP_” infront of them.

Is that what needs to be changed? The three characters in the beginning of everything?

[Ramiuz]

What do you mean? Move what tables over?

Can I install BBConverter, import my BBpress 1.02 installation to backup file, and export it to a BBPRess 2.0 installation on a different database? That should work right?

IS there no option in BBPRess 2.0 to select database? If not, there really should be.

That would be very easy, to just install BBPress 2.0 through WordPress as is, and go into the admin panel and select : Database – Select Database – Option 2 – Would you like to import existing users and discussions into BBPress? – Yes/No

[gloomis120]

Is it possible to NOT have it redirect to wp-admin if a forum user enters the wrong login/password? This seems like a bug. Ive tried it on other BBPress 2.0+ installs and get the same results.

[zofar143x]

Is there a way to alter the permalink structure of bbpress in order to make the permalinks the same as the structure that is being displayed in the breadcrumbs? It has been discussed over here:

BBpress is not a search engine friendly forum

However, the recommended plugin “Nicer Permalinks” doesn’t work with 2.1. Is there any other way to change it?

Just to clarify, currently when viewing a topic it’s being displayed in the breadcrumbs like this:

Home › forum › General › This is a test post

but the actual link is:

url.com/forum/topic/this-is-a-test-post

I would like the URL to be:

url.com/forum/general/this-is-a-test-post

ps: “general” is the name of one of the forums

[Keith Kelly]

I am not sure if anything was figured out on this, but I gave up on the Pagelines theme and created my own child theme based on the BuddyPress default theme.

Now I have that extra control I needed to create a more fluid and mobile friendly design.

Thanks for the help. I am going to mark this as resolved.

[Andre]

There’s not an easy way to do it yet because there isn’t a shortcode to display the latest topics. I’m sure there’s a way to code it, but I haven’t looked into how to do that.

Also, bbpress.org doesn’t uses bbpress 2.x yet.

[surrealalien]

This is about this site, more than bbpress itself, but I cant add comments to any Plugins on here. A number of plugins are either not working with the latest version of bbpress, or im unable to download at all. Some plugins have comments that are a week or 3 old – so how come I cant post comments?

[CaptainN2]

I just tried “Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin” as suggested in another thread, but sadly, the input field does not appear on the forum post pages.

I forgot to mention another issue I’ve had – bbpress doesn’t get along with wp-super-cache – is there any easy way to get around that (disable the cache just for the forums tree for example)?

[CaptainN2]

Hi,

I just restored a very old bbpress 1.x install to use bbpress 2.0 plugin, and it worked great! Thanks so much.

There are a few issues though, that I could use help with. Here they are:

1. I’m getting a ton of spam. Some of these get caught by akizmet, but most get through, and there’s no way to do a “rescan for spam” thing like there is in wordpress comments. Is there any way to clean this up, to reduce the spam (I’ll continue to troll the forums to find solutions, but I’m not sure how most of the suggestions there work, until I know how registration and new topics work)?
2. If not logged in, I can’t see any way to post to the forum, or any register links in the forum area. Is a setting for this (I have it set at defaults, only registered users can post, and anyone can register), or do I have to add theme support? (I’m using 2011.)
3. Does registration go through normal WP reg process? I can’t find it from the forums, but the spam bots sure can!
4. there is no preview button – here or in my forum – I hope the formatting I put in here works!

On an unrelated note, I couldn’t get my old account to work here on bbpress.org (CaptainN) – When I try to log in it says my username doesn’t exist. But I can’t register with either my old username, or old email – they both exist! Also, when I start the reset password process, I get the link to click, but when I click on it, it says I can’t change my password.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Kevin N.
