Welcome. @anointed, DesktopServer will also allow you to make multiple multisites too. I know that sounds like a lot of sites, but I keep them on hand to accelerate projects.

I’ll have to see how bbPress works with Multisite. Does anyone know if it is limited to one forum engine per multisite install or can each subsite have it’s own instance?

[Justin Mason]

What about adding a field to post requirements. Perhaps requiring them to do a simple math formula prior to posting?

Ie:

Name

Email

Please prove that you are human: 1+5=

Is this an option?

[Dan Milward]

That would definitely need to be an option – in our case we wouldn’t want that because people on our forums are using a search widget for forum specific information.

I’m running the bbPress plugin 2.0 and the most recent version of WP. For some reason the “Subscribe” to topic function is not sending email notifications… On this site I am also running a plugin called bbPress New Topic Notifications and it is not sending email notifications either.

I have another site that is almost identical, running the same WP version and plugins, and it is working fine (both are with the same host as well). I have been troubleshooting this all day but with no success… aaarrgh!

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

[SeizedPropaganda]

That function seems to lock down the entire forum, even for admins.

[Rev. Voodoo]

Yeah, that’s really nice, thank you!

[spicynodes]

I’d also appreciate a run-down on BBPress2 anti-spam measures.

In my forum, I prefer not to require users to make accounts.

We allow anonymous comments in our blog, and Akismet blocks all the spams; but our bbpress is getting flooded with bogus topics and replies.

OK, in one things I probably make mistake I try to install bbP 1.0 theme using 2.0 version. bbP 2.0 use WordPress theme, am I right? (sorry for my stupid question but I’m just started with bbPress.)

I install Frisco theme (one of this: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/)

And I still can’t see “add Topic” button. I try everything, every official theme and nothing

What should I do to have “Add topic” button? Exactly like on this forum

PS. I don’t know why but I’m still have this notice:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

I use Frisco theme, bbPress 2.0, buddyPress 1.5 and WP 3.2.1:

I got it…

It happens if the user is set as administrator but not as keymaster for bb_capabilities in the usermeta table.

Try the bbpress-post-topics plugin.

Automatic gave the Word Press trademark and control over bbPress and Buddy Press to the Word Press Foundation.

In December 2004, Mullenweg announced bbPress which he wrote from scratch in a few days over the holidays. Mullenweg and the Word Press team.

Thanks,

I am having the same problem. I’m logging in using an admin user but the plugin tab does not show up. However, I accidentally deleted the user meta data of the admin user befor and manually set the user back to admin, this is there might be data missing in the wp_usermeta table…?

Did you find any solution?

Or anyone else knows the answer?

Works beautifully!

Desktopserver also looks quite intriguing. I currently use xampp setup custom on my dev laptop using wp multisite to accomplish something similar. I don’t want to mess up my current setup, but may try your product in the future.

How about using a metabox on your edit forum page to specifiy if the forum is premium:

Add this to your forum functions.php and edit the current_user_can bit at the bottom.

add_action('bbp_forum_metabox', 'tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox');

add_action('bbp_forum_attributes_metabox_save', 'tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox_save');

add_filter ('bbp_user_can_view_forum', 'tfuey_bbp_user_can_view_forum', 1);

function tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox($forum_id) {

if (tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id)) {

$premium_checked = ‘checked’;

} else {

$premium_checked = ”;

} //End if

echo ‘<hr />

<p>

Premium Forum:

<input type=”checkbox” name=”tfuey_bbp_premium_forum” value=”1″ ‘.$premium_checked.’ />

</p>’;

} //End function

function tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox_save($forum_id) {

if (isset($_POST) && $_POST != ”) {

update_post_meta($forum_id, ‘_tfuey_bbp_premium_forum’, $_POST);

} else {

update_post_meta($forum_id, ‘_tfuey_bbp_premium_forum’, ”);

} //End if

} //End function

function tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id) {

$tfuey_premium_forum = get_post_meta($forum_id, ‘_tfuey_bbp_premium_forum’, true);

if ($tfuey_premium_forum == 1) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

} //End if

} //End function

function tfuey_bbp_user_can_view_forum() {

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();

if (tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id)) {

if (current_user_can(‘administrator’) || current_user_can(‘bbp_moderator’) || current_user_can(‘whatever_you_want’)) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

} //End if

} //End if

} //End function

Leave the forum public and if the premium forum metabox is ticked and the user doesn’t meet the required criteria they will get a “You do not have permission to view this forum” message.

PS. Untested outside my own site plugin and unnecessary bits have been removed but you should get the gist.

PPS. Code doesn’t paste too well here apologies if it looks all over the place.

The plugins list on the bbPress site are intended for standalone versions of bbPress (0.x and 1.x). bbPress 2.0 plugins are limited at the moment, but would be found in WordPress plugin repository.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

[Steveorevo]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve released my Search bbPress 2.0, a unified search plugin. It has the following features:

* Unified search extends WordPress native search to bbPress 2.0 content

* Corrected hyperlink search results to the actual forum/topic/reply so that users can participate in the forum right away.

* Fixes bbPress login widget typo for all languages (the Log in button)

I’ve had this on my site for a while for testing (it is working great!) but have just submitted it to the WordPress.org repository. Hopefully if will appear soon. I also submitted a bug report to bbPress trac about the typo and how I performed search a while back (but a little too late for 2.0 release), so hopefully these items will be corrected / become native in future releases! Rather then wait for the repository, feel free to download it from my new site (free):

http://serverpress.com/products/search-bbpress/

If you like it, please let others know and/or tweet about it! My site is brand new, so any traffic would be greatly appreciated. Donations would be to just take a moment to review my other wares.

Thanks!

Hi! I tried to download and install the Hidden Forums plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, and I’m not sure if I put it in the correct location. The instructions ( http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/installation/ ) say to put it in “bbPress’ my-plugins/ directory”–I couldn’t find that directory so I put it in wp-content/plugins. I was able to activate it. I can make forums “hidden” but I can’t specify certain roles to have access to specific forums. (Which I think this plugin is supposed to do: “Make selected forums completely hidden except to certain members or roles”). I can’t seem to find anywhere to create roles. Is there another plugin I need for that? Or did I put this plugin in the wrong spot?

I’m using bbpress 2.0

Thanks!

[Andre]

The plugins at https://bbpress.org/plugins/ are not intended for bbPress 2.0. They were created for a standalone version of bbPress.

[Anointed]

Without php knowledge this would be a huge undertaking. WordPress uses group permissions to set who can do what. (You have to create corresponding groups that have permissions to utilize the new forum type)

A good reference starting point would be to look at the new ‘support’ forums plugin. It’s listed in the forums here the past week.

That would be a good starting point. However like I said, if you are not great at php, this is gonna take a long time to figure out. It’s no small task.

[spicynodes]

Sorry, I searched before, but just saw that user sulliwane2 asked a similar question 4 weeks ago in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Adding a few arguments would be very useful!

[spicynodes]

Your search widget is a welcome addition. One useful improvement would be an option to merge page/post search (the WP default) and bbpress search, so that ONE search can search all WP content.

OK, I just set up a 100% fresh WordPress 3.2.1 install along with a 100% fresh bbPress install. Created a new forum, added 2 topics – each with different tags. I added a third topic with no tags.

When I go to view a single tag, it shows all 3 topics which is incorrect and would seem to be a bug.

Can anyone else confirm.
