Thanks dude about answer and the address. I read them but I’ve question now, if we integrate our bbPress with WordPress can we use some functions from WP?

I mean if we do integrate after that in theme designin’ can we use a function like this? <?php get_wp_header(); ?> (It’s jus’ a example, Im not sure about the code!)

BackPress is a PHP library of core functionality for web applications. It grew out of the immensely popular WordPress project, and is also the core of the bbPress and GlotPress sister-projects.

[Ed]

any ETA on the PHPbb 3x option, and would you add punBB to the consideration list?

Thanks

Anyone know a simple way to disable the breadcrumbs? My theme has it’s own breadcrumb system that seems to work better than the bbpress one so I would like to stop the built in one from showing, perhaps by overriding the breadcrumb template file?

[binarymoon]

I would like to use the default template and override the styles that are included. Does anyone have any tips on how to acheive this?

Currently I am using:

function bm_bbpress () {

wp_dequeue_style ('twentyten-rtl');

wp_dequeue_style ('twentyten');

wp_dequeue_style ('bbp-twentyten-bbpress');

}



add_action ('bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bm_bbpress', 100);

Greetings WordPress/bbPress people!

I have finally abandoned DotNetNuke in favor of WordPress. I have to say I am quite pleased with the simplicity with which I was able to set it up.

After looking around for what the Interwebs conclude is the best WP forum I selected this one.

After a ridiculously easy install I got bbPress up and running as well.

NOW… If I can only figure out how to add a forum to a page I would be on my way. I am sure this is an easy thing to do once you know how to do it…

Incidentally, my WP install is located at http://politicule.com/wp while my forums are at http://politicule.com/wp/?forum=politicule-community-forums-2&preview=true&preview_id=23&preview_nonce=86034f336b

I appreciate your assistance in advance!

@ghost – Insulting the dev team doesn’t get you help any quicker.

@adam – Did you get this sorted? Seems you did from other topics you’ve posted.

I’m in the same boat as 3sixty. This is what I did on a fresh install of WordPress 3.2.1

1. Plugins > Add New > BuddyPress 1.5

2. Activated BuddyPress

3. Run the Install Wizard BUT leaving the Forum Component unchecked.

4. Plugins > Add New > bbPress 2.0

5. Activated bbPress

6. Made a forum, test topics, and test replies

No dice on the activity feed.

Second time around on a second fresh install, I ran the Install Wizard and this time checked the Forum Component. When I try to install Sitewide forums, it just sends me to the Plugin repository and prompts me to download and install bbPress 2.0 (which I do). After which I am stuck again.

Group discussions seem to be working fine, but that’s not what I’m looking for.

Thanks a lot in advance for all your help.

[rossagrant]

Awesome, will see what JJ says. This would be invaluable if it could be built into buddypress. I know a lot of clients who want to move away from the group forums in buddypress and just use sitewide BBpress 2.0 forums instead!

Great job!

[Anointed]

gonna have to ask JJ about that one as I don’t use buddypress yet. I am positive that it is possible, just need a little direction from him on the db structure.

*That is the totally cool part about this plugin in that it can extend to convert virtually any forum software.

[rossagrant]

Wow, looks awesome! I need to do a conversion in buddypress from the old group forums to standalone BBpress 2.0.

Is the procedure the same as converting BBpress 1.0?

Would love to see an upgrader built into buddypress 1.5!

[Andre]

Assuming you are using bbPress 2.x you can accomplish something similar with shortcodes. Create a page with the shortcode and change the WP setting to showing a page instead of the blog as the homepage.

[amirsaam]

umm…, no! bbPlugin by default using a subdirectory of WordPress but by some skills on creating a pro theme for your blog that give the forums pages, and left the permalink of the forum root (called Forums) blank you can get what you want (it’s jus’ a advice, I’m not sure!)

[harryv]

I just started a brand new wp site. Initially, I was going to install a phpbb under

http://<url>/forums

After uploading the phpbb, I found bbpress plugin and activated it. Now all links to the forums are in the format

http://<url>/forums/forum/<topic&gt;

What is worse is that when I click to that link, it returns invalid. I tried removing the ‘forums’ and ‘forum’ and it still doesn’t go anywhere. I have since removed that /forums folder and the phpbb but the plugin still has the permalink saved despite removing and reinstalling the plugin.

How can I resolve this?

[nsiinc]

Hi all.

Can bbpress be constructed to be visible as the main site where the WordPress site is installed? i.e. http://domain.com is the main WP site and http://domain.com/bbpress is the wordpress site.

What I am looking for is creating http://domain.com the main bbpress site, skipping the WP blog.

Advise is appreciated.

Thanks.

I am not currently aware of a way of mass moving topics and replies.

Please provide feedback and future features and platforms. I will be happy to assist anyone.

For what it’s worth, I’ve seen this in action and it’s pretty awesome.

This may or may not be the right forum for this, but technical support seemed the wrong place. Anyway…

I have a template I am using for my website called Habitat (http://www.kriesi.at/themes/habitat/). It allows me to create a new page and use the template in full width without the sidebar. Now… I -can- use shortcodes to put my forum in a new page and set the template without the sidebar, but I cannot find a shortcode for the forum root (I have three categories) and each subsequent link click takes me to the /forum URL and plops the sidebar back in.

To whit, I cannot find an option anywhere in the bbpress plugin that allows me to set the template to use.

Anyone shed some light on this? TIA.

[xmatter]

I have just installed bbPress through my local install of WP and I cannot seem to find where the forum resides on the front-end. I have 2 forums (each have 2 topics) which i created through the back-end. Am I doing someone wrong? Must bbPress be used with BuddyPress?

Please help!

Also… I am very familiar with WP, just never used bbPress, thanks!

[rizwan65]

Well Andre thanks for your reply

But sorry the way you are telling is moving a single topic

With this method I will have to open each topic one by one and change the Forum under Topic Attributes

I can’t find the way to move multiple topics to another forum

Is there any way out there

Regards

Rizwan

[Andre]

Login as an admin. Go to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and choose the topic you want to move. You should have a topic attributes “widget” (for lack of a better term) on the side or below the main content box. This “widget” will let you change the forum.

If you don’t see this widget click on screen options near the top right and make sure topic attributes is checked.

[xanderr]

Hello,

Thanks John.

Is there a shortcode to get the latest topics from a specific category (forum). If there isn’t, how to get it?
