Hi there. I’m very new to bbPress and can’t see to find any way to allow users to register? Does this functionality have to be built bespokely or are there any plugins I can use?

All I want is to add a ‘login’ & ‘register’ link so users can post new forum topics.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Then bbPress isn’t a choice after all, at this point …

I’ve tried installing BBPress several times, but I guess I do something wrong because I keep getting this problem.

Like when I click on a topic, the “Your first topic” for example, I get

“The requested URL /forum/topic/1 was not found on this server.”

The URL seems okay, but I get the error so something’s wrong?

I can log in to BBPress, but when I go edit my account I get:

“The requested URL /forum/profile/1/edit was not found on this server.”

Again, the actual URL seems right.

I’m sure there’s something simple I’m missing, like I didn’t set something right in config, but I can’t find it. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated!

Is there any way to “force” BBpress keep it styling? We really can’t change the theme…

[Ravi]

I am afraid that the above reply is not relevant to my question. Please help.

Thanks.

I am using bbPress 2.0 plugin version and could not find a file called loop-single-reply.php

I could find a single-reply.php and it had a code like

<td class=”bbp-reply-author”><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘type’ => ‘avatar’ )

I tried adding ‘size’ => 100 to this but did not work.

We are also using BuddyPress inside the site and guess the avatars are loaded from BuddyPress.

@johnjamesjacoby – Nope, no slug conflicts and no conflicting folders as far as I can see. I just deleted the forums folder in my theme. Changed the theme and it’s still broken.

Do you mean folders within the plugin folders?

If all else fails, what are the steps to completely uninstall bbpress so I can just try it fresh?

Thanks for your time man.

Same here! I’ve been trying to see something from bbpress(sitewide) on my activity stream for 2 weeks! still not working. however if you set up a discussion group and create topic for each group it goes up to your activity stream like always.

Here is my situation though: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-updates/page/38#post-92263

but I found something interesting. I have wpmu and if one of my user create a blog(site) and of course it has bbpress enable and he/she can create new forum/topic/reply it’s gonna show up on his/her activity stream right on time!

funny, i tried this. it’s working with all new blogs except the one that has the buddypress up and running. even someone mentioned you in one of these blogs it’s gonna be on your activity stream.

Still waiting and trying hard to get this worked.

lmburford, just to clarify, activity works for you when you are using Sitewide Forums? Or are you using the per-group forums?

I reinstalled using all above instructions and I still can’t get Sitewide Forums posts to show up in the activity stream.

Your theme is overriding the default styling. Not much bbPress can do about it of your theme is stubborn. Afraid you’re on your own to modify your CSS to look the way you want it to.

[John James Jacoby]

Visit your forums settings and look for slug conflicts. Barring that, maybe BuddyPress forums and bbPress forums have conflicting folders for you somewhere.

i just installed bbpress for my jobsite- .JobsinnigeriaToday.com which is for Jobs in Nigeria, i installed it and it seems i cannot send out messages or activation mails, pls what do i do?

[StopC]

I have fully integrated bbpress as plugin, and I’m trying to list all the topics from all the forums based on access user have. example:

Guest/unregistered visitor, forum participant -> public

Forum moderator -> public, private

I’ve been searching whole day and couldn’t find anything, and all the solutions that I come up with are too “hacky”. Could you point me to right direction or show me how its done?

Thank you.

Hello,

When i use the importer in wordpress (bbpress 1.1 to bbpress 2.0 plugin) i have the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /class.bpdb.php on line 39

I use bbpress 1.1.

Any idea?

thanks!

There are private messaging plugins that will work with bbPress, there just isn’t a separate plugin repository that lists them. Same for other types of plugins.

[Jaja..]

No Private messages at this point,

In Overall there is not much bbPress (v.2.0) plugins available, and we can only hope WordPress will release a statement on wordpress.org about the release of bbPress 2.0. If they don’t i doubt we will see tons of plugins for bbPress in the first year or two.

Beside all that, this Toolbar plugin works perfect on my forum,

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

And if you Valid the code and delete lots of ‘ugly’ included code it’s even a better product.

But again, out of the box it works great. (many thanks to the author)

My tuned version of this plugin:

* Still working on my Forum and i don’t know if i’ll ever gonna place it public (live) because for me bbPress is still very Glitchy.

[Patrik Berggren]

Ok … new to bbPress and have installed v2.

But … before I can go live with that forum I really need an WYSIWYG-editor, including “smilies”, PM (Private Messages) functionality … otherwize, my forum members will go ballistic

Is there a list of working plugins for bbPress v2? other than “repository” at wordpress.org?

[adams21]

Lets hope somebody will soon jump into this bbPress plugin code and start writing tutorials and info about different ways to list forums.

For myself i can say this is the best bbPress forum layout (listing) i’ve ever seen

[adams21]

simple used the insert code (which I was looking for but didn’t see and assumed not available) within my main template instead of using teh bbPress subtempate

[adams21]

If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol

[adams21]

INSERT INTO bb_forums (forum_id , forum_name, forum_desc, forum_parent, forum_order, topics, posts) VALUES (‘6’, ‘Bike of the Month’, ‘Each month we will showcase a different member’s bike’, ‘5’, ‘8’, ‘0’, ‘0’)

Hi,

I run old bbPress 1.02 standalone version.

How do I export the data to a new bbPress 2.0 plugin version in another domain?

Thanks,

Ravi

[Razva]

Hi folks,

I’ve just installed BBpress 2 on our website – http://www.gadget.ro/forums/

As you can see it looks horrible!

Isn’t there a default style or something that would make BBpress…usable?

Thanks!

[Jaja..]

I was searching for an option to set the max topic length to 70 instead of default 80.

Now I think I’ve found the code inside the (Core files) bbp-core-options.php but I can’t change the core files because it will be overwritten when bbPRess updates.

So how could I place a filter? inside my functions.php to do this?

Just like this? (copy-/paste)

function bbp_title_max_length( $default = '70' ) {

echo bbp_get_title_max_length( $default );

}

[highexistence]

I did that a couple of times to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion though.
