Hi everyone.

I am currently looking into migrating one of my bbpress forums to a qusetion2answers installation on a wordpress site and was wondering if anyone know if this was possible or not?

Thanks

[Ed]

thanks a lot Anointed Let’s hope he has good news, as I have no money for custom work i’m afraid

[tony webb]

Thanks for your reply. It’s a bit difficult for me to explain without you seeing how I’ve set up the forums page layout. I’ll try again.

My forum is integrated with wp.

For this I created 2 menus one for the blog and one for the forum.

All the blog pages have a blog sidebar and appear as they should.

All the forum pages have forum sidebars and appear as they should except for the forum lists page (main page) that still has the blog sidebars.

I have set the template for this page as bbpress forums (index)

The problem is that I have set the forum lists page (my main page) to show the forum side bar but it still shows the blog sidebar.

If you look at these three links it will show what I am trying to explain. (I’m currently building this forum. You can’t see it from the main menu)

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/ (blog set up)

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/ (page with wrong menu)

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/announcements (forum set up)

I have tried changing the default sidebar in the settings > sidebar but that doesn’t work either.

All I was doing was following the video instructions. He mentions that you should put the forums index etc on a page as you get better editing options.

I haven’t put the forums, topics or posts on a page yet because of this problem

Widgets are not “per page.” I don’t understand what’s wrong.

Hello,

I’m looking for a way for guest posting in existed topics and creating new topics. Thanks you in advance.

p.s.

bbpress 2.0

I’ve got the following page showing wp widgets in the side bar although i have published it with bbpress widgets in the sidebar.

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/

I did have an earlier problem with 2 pages showing as the main root for the forum directory although 1 was deleted several days ago.

the root was showing forums/forums.

I’m now left with a forum list and the sidebars of an ?old deleted page and the page heading of the new page.

is there a way to sort this out? Creating a new page didn’t work.

[Anointed]

Sorry that my answer was confusing.

There is no theming manual per say for the new system. The new bbPress 2x plugin does not work like the old 1x in that there is no ‘theme plugins’ like you are talking about.

At the moment the only theme available for the new bbPress is the default theme that is included in the plugin. I’m certain that new themes will be coming somewhat soon though.

[Histograph]

Not really looking for how to install bbPress. I’m looking for a theming manual, adding additional themes to bbPress, without tampering my existing theme.

[John James Jacoby]

Resolved. Closing.

[Anointed]

I mentioned in some of your other posts that the docs you are following are for the old 1x bbPress plugin. There is not a theme manager for the new bbPress.

Right now there is just the one theme available which I see is running correctly on your site. I’m sure more themes are in the pipeline.

[Anointed]

There is not a bbPress admin area with the new 2x version of bbPress. Those documents are for the old system.

Best to watch this video to see how to get bbPress working on a new website.

[Anointed]

Unfortunately the docs tab where you got the directions are for the old 1x version of the plugin. These directions do not apply to the new 2x version.

For now, check out the video in this thread which will show you step by step how to install the new bbPress plugin.

Hello there!

I have installed buddypress to my site and chose to side wide installation of bbpress and installed

that plugin.

2 questions I would like to ask:

1. When I check the forums component in buddypress settings, I’m being told it might conflict with bbpress…I tought bbpress was the very forum included in buddypress?

And why would I then have to install bbpress as a seperate plugin when not choosing the “group forums” component but the side wide?

2. I can’t seem to find out how to just set up something that would look like a normal forum.

Similar to the one being used here in the site.

Please help!

Cheers

Since English is not my Native language, I’m not sure if It is just me, but this makes no sense for me:

“Activating a theme is even easier. Just select it from you bbPress install’s Presentation Admin Panel.”.

http://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

Please, please update the documentation, at least the essential part of Theming. I am very, very confused at the moment about how to theme BBPress Forums. Very confused.

p.s. Followed the steps, nothing worked at all.

Hi,

Can you install Facebook connect to a bbpress forum that is embedded within a wordpress site?

I have downloaded the following plugin – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/

However when I uploaded it to the plugins directory within my wordpress site, it does not appear in the plugins admin menu. I cannot locate the bbpress plugins area within my WordPress site either?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Dan

Hi,

I have installed BBPress into my wordpress site – http://www.3hreedee.com

However at the moment it looks pretty blank, is there anyway of installing a theme to bbpress even though it is within a wordpress site? I have tried uploading themes into the FTP themes folder however cannot find anywhere within bbadmin that would allow me to install these?

My test link is here:http://www.3hreedee.com/forums/

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Dan

bbPress 2.x will work with any WordPress theme, some better than others.

[tony webb]

I forgot I’ll install the plug you recommended now.

[tony webb]

Thanks.

I’ve deleted your user account etc.

I did reply to a post earlier as they seemed to be experiencing a problem that I experienced. Asked them to switch to a bbpress theme. I might have a go at a few more once I’m up and running.

I’ll close this now.

[tony webb]

I’ve watched the video. I see what the problem is now;

I started at the forum level because I thought category was specific to wordpress. I need to move everything up one level.

[Anointed]

OK, I had no problem registering for your site and creating a topic and a reply to my topic.

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/looks-like-a-nice-forum-setup/#post-594

also created a topic and reply via the top wp admin bar:

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/testing-topic-entered-in-top-admin-bar/

*Hope you don’t mind my creating the topic, but seemed best way to test it out.

As far as I can see everything is working perfectly.

*

One thing I would consider adding is a plugin by JJ

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/

This will remove the ability to create topics and replies via the top wp admin bar for all users except the super admin.

I am guessing that you are using the wordpress backend to create topics and replies (the screen that looks like the create posts).

Really even though you can do it that way, you are more supposed to create topics and replies on the front end of the website. It is confusing to users to click on the top admin bar and go to the wordpress backend to create topics and replies. That little plugin removes that.

Finally:

I can say that your forums are working correctly. To make things easier to understand install that plugin I listed so that your users can’t see the top admin bar to create topics and replies. They will then see the forums as more what they would expect.

Hope the info helps and best of luck

Oh I forgot. The bbpress forum that I am making isn’t in the menu. The one in the menu is symposium. I am hoping to change them over in the next day or so.
