[nbatioco]

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.

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!

This is a fresh install of the bbpress plugin on a WP 3.2.1 multi-site. The Author role cannot see either the list of topics in the sidebar widget, or the topics themselves. All forums and topics are public.

An Author can see the forums list, access forums and sub-forums, but clicking a forum with topics will yield a page indicating the number of topics and then:

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

The Administrator confirms the topics are there. I’ve even globally edited all forums and topics and set status to public.

Have used the User Role Editor to add privileges to Authors to read and edit edit all posts and forums.

I had installed the User Access Manager to try to give protection to pages and posts but have uninstalled it. I fear something may be a leftover protection.

Looking at the database at one of the entries, the Post Status is “inherit” versus “publish” — is that an issue?

I’m stuck. New at this, but fairly conversant with WP basics. Help!

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to export a forum (all topics, replies and users if necessary) and import it into another bbPress site – essentially move the forum to another site?

I am using the letest version of bbPress plugin on both sites.

Thanks in advance for any help…

[Mr. Salas]

Hello,

i used wp 3.2.1 and a theme called wp-basis,

but after installing bbpress no Forum content is visible.

There is some generated forum-text in the header of the site

“<meta name=”description” content=”Topic: DISKUSSION ZUM FILM …etc”

below is the code of my header.php

“<meta name=”description” content=”<?php if ( is_single() ) { wp_title(‘-‘, true, ‘right’); echo strip_tags( get_the_excerpt() ); } elseif ( is_page() ) { wp_title(‘-‘, true, ‘right’); echo strip_tags( get_the_excerpt() ); } else { bloginfo(‘description’); } ?>” />”

i hope somebody can help.

thx and kind regards

I have started a forum at my webbsite but the web theme colors makes the text impossible to read, how do I change the forum colors?

[tosteri]

I have made a new forum.php and edited it as instructed here:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/theme-compatibility-plugin-wont-recognize-my-custom-full-width-template

But it seems that this same template is used in forum AND in topic views. I’ve edited the file to function as a forum startup page, but I would like the Topic-pages to have a slightly different look. Renaming to topic.php or topic-single.php does not seem to work.

These files are located in my theme folder. How do I name the single topic template file, for bbp to recognise it?

[Philip John]

I blogged about this little tweak too and someone has just posted an edit to display a friendly message instead of the standard “not found” which sort of completes it
