Hello to all

I have multiple WP blogs on different domains. I would like to unite all of them in one WP MU installation. I know it’s possible and I think I can manage to pull that of.

After that, I would like to install bbPress on another X.com domain. Is it possible to connect all of the WP MU domains users with the users at bbPress? So if someone registers at bbPress can log in at any WP MU domain, and vice versa.

Actually I’m pretty sure that can be done, but I need to know how and if there would be any drawbacks to that solution? Will it remain stable and so on?

Thanks

bbPress is no longer used on that website (would edit the link if I could) after I handed the site over to be ran by the community so what you are likely looking at now is the theme I designed for the new forum script they use.

Also I see you have the lates posts showin instead of just the forum.

How did you do that?

If that is the bit I am thinking you are looking at, that is simply just the build in WordPress feature that pulls from a RSS feed.

I have to agree with @WhiteRau, a thorough read through the sticky post (and then his to reiterate in my mind), I was able to combine the bbpress template files with my child theme.

My question is that I’m trying to modify the output and html layout of my bbpress template files, and I can’t seem to figure out a solution.

1. My forum is on the page: Forum, and my forum base slug is: forums. Different, you see? That’s because I want to show the Latest Topics, not default to showing all my forums, when you click the menu for Forum (very much like the bbpress.org/forums).

2. I’m using a page template for the Forum page that outputs the Latest Topics, except as soon as you click away from this page, it reverts back to the default layout.

Problem: I need all the forum pages to use the same layout, preferably a custom one, and the ‘front’ Forum page to output the Latest Topics.

Any ideas?

Thanks moderator

click on the forums link under the settings tab. On that screen, where you set the number of topics to display etc.. click save. That sets the permalinks for bbPress.

Also make sure that your actual permalinks settings page uses something other than the default top option. Chose any other option and click save.

That should get you going.

@tony lies… sorry for sounding so medieval lol, but i installed it on a non-twenty ten theme and it works just fine.

mind you, it took jackie chan style css kungfu to make it look right, but its doable

I just installed 2.1.bleeding to try out bbPress on my site. Totally automatic and smooth as could be. For the record, I’m using the Simple X theme on my blog. Layout needs a little tweaking, but it all worked immediately.

Most of my site is PHP with the blog secondary. My goal is for the user on a custom PHP page to create a ‘item’ on the base site, and at the same time begin a discussion topic about the ‘item’ on bbPress. They would complete a form with various data that includes a title and comment box. I want to take what they enter and handle part of it on my current site and then create a related new forum topic using the title and comment.

I suspect this can be done by calling some ‘create topic’ function, but being a novice at this I have no clue how. For the record, my url structure looks like ‘xyz.com/blog/forums’.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks for any help,

Hugh

I’ve just installed the 2.0.2 version and I get a 404 error when I click on one of the forums link. Do I need to follow the steps on this post in order to get it running right on my site?

Thanks.

Hello Everyone!

I’m doing a website about proper skin care. I want it to be a blog, with some static pages, and a forum component for an active community. I want to know how to do this in WordPress. I installed BBPress 2.0 plugin, and created a new forum, but I want to make the forum be It’s own menu item, as a separate component to my site. I also want to try to apply a universal theme.
If someone could lead me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Zach

Thank you Adam for the work that you do.

This update you mention, would it happen to contain a converter for phpBB to bbpress as well (keeping fingers on both hands tightly crossed and holding my breath!)?

Can we post a link to a beginners’ guide for creating bbPress themes at the beginning of this topic, with the rest of the FAQ links, please? It’s kind of confusing as to where to find this information. Also, I would appreciate somebody replying to me as to where to find it while I wait for it to be added to this topic http://methoo.com

I have a website I’m going to add forums to and I’m thinking about using bbPress. But there is something I’m not liking when I’m trying it out. I don’t like how when a user isn’t logged in it says “You must be logged in to reply to this topic.” below the posts.

Is there a way to change that text to something more user friendly. Like please login or register to reply with links to a way to login or register.

Below is the link to the first forum that I have made with bbpress.

I have one reservation which is in the sub menu to the forums button I’ve included a page as a site map for the forum. The reason that I did this was that I thought that the forum index page looked a bit cluttered in places. I did think of putting links with the titles on the forum map page but thought that it might discourage users from using the real thing.

What do you think?

It is part of a larger site and I don’t know how to segregate it. The link is direct to the forum page.

Sorry guys been slammed I will try to get the update out before weekend is out. Today have to finish up another project so no way it will be today. So look for it in coming days.

[Anointed]

I’d suggest creating a trac ticket with a link to the site with the problems so that JJ can take a peek someday.

I had the problem in prior vs. but with the newest vs. of bbPress and my new custom theme I do not have these problems anymore. I never was able to figure out what the cause was.

[Anointed]

I actually have no estimates right now for added features. Adam is absolutely slammed at work right now. I know he is working on a more streamlined vs. of the plugin, but do not know if it is going to include new importers or not.

*If you are a programmer, the plugin is built to be easily extended for new systems. If not, I know that he offers a paid service for custom conversions.

Beyond that I have no new news to report.

Hi,

On my website I have in root folder of the domain (www.example.com/) all html static pages. Some time ago I installed on that website the WordPress package, for blogging. As it was allowed in standard setup, WordPress files are located in http://www.example.com/wp/ folder and blog is accessible via http://www.example.com/blog/.

Recently I decided to add forum to the site, using existing WordPress installation. After bbress plugin installation, when I configure the forum, it is by default appended to blog – current WordPress starting folder and addressed as http://www.example.com/blog/forum/, which is messy and confusing.

How to setup bbpress in this environment to have forum root separated and directed to http://www.example.com/forum/ in parallel to blog http://www.example.com/blog/?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi there Anointed One. I urgently wish to convert my phpBB forum to bbpress.

Can you give me a ‘rough’ estimate on when this plugin can also do phpbb conversions?

Many thank in advance!

hi brother,

I created in /wp-content/languages/ a bbpress directory (/wp-content/languages/bbpress) and I updated bbpress-tr_TR.mo and bbpress-tr.po files to this directory and than I updated the mo and po /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages

I changed bbpress.php load_textdomain() function (line 524 ATM).

public function load_textdomain() {

// Allow locale to be filtered

$locale = apply_filters( ‘bbpress_locale’, get_locale() );

// Get mo file name

$mofile = sprintf( ‘bbpress-tr_TR.mo’, $locale );

// Setup paths to current locale file

$mofile_local = $this->lang_dir . ‘/’ . $mofile;

$mofile_global = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/bbpress/’ . $mofile;

// Look in local /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/ folder

if ( file_exists( $mofile_local ) )

return load_textdomain( ‘bbpress-tr_TR.po’, $mofile_local );

// Look in global /wp-content/languages/ folder

elseif ( file_exists( $mofile_global ) )

return load_textdomain( ‘bbpress-tr_TR.po’, $mofile_global );

// Nothing found

return false;

}

I use bbpress plugin 2.0.1

My WP version is 3.2.1

%100 I did somethinh wrong because my english is not very good.

What can be going wrong?

Thank you.

I updated the plugin this morning but it doesn’t solve the problem here…

[Anointed]

I believe JJ fixed this issue a couple of days ago. If you check the latest plugin download from today it may solve your problem.

Hi.

I have some problems to use bbPress 2 with a full custom theme. bbPress is globally working and the forums are displaying correctly but some views don’t work properly. Example: the topic-tag view, which actually lists all topics of the forums, without taking the selected tag in account. I have the same behavior with the search results (I use the bbPress Search Widget plugin).

1. When I use the default bbPress theme, it works.

2. When I use my own custom bbPress theme, the problem happens.

3. When I override files in the default theme folder (not recommended), it works.

4. When I use the default bbPress theme as if it was a custom one (copy/paste of the folder, etc.) the problem happens too.

So it’s not related to my theme as it happens with the default theme files too, as soon as they’re not in the default folder.

What could it be related to?

Hi,

I’m trying to get new-topics-archive to show on my forum front page and to show all my forum pages in a simple left-aligned-sidebar structure, a structure that’s the opposite of the rest of the WP site(right-aligned sidebar).

I created a bbpress.php file with this structure, but it’s not being recognized. Instead, it’s defaulting to my template page.php file. I tried bbpress.php and forum.php, but neither works.

And once I get all that working, a shortcode on the forum front page should make it show the new-topics-archive, right? But that isn’t working either.

Any thoughts?
