So both bbPress and BuddyPress are now entering a new era of WordPress integration. Both plugins have become much more standardized and seamless.

Now all you need is more eyes and idle hands on the code, documentation and forums. There’s still no word of the renewed bbPress or BuddyPress in the admin panel’s “WordPress Blog” feed. The news that was once in “Other WordPress News” has since been moved far down the list where most people won’t see it.

A mention on wordpress.org could quite realistically make hundreds of thousands of WordPress users aware of these recent monumental developments. I think these plugins represent a crucial part of WordPress’ future; you ought to let the world know what’s happening on these new fronts.

As i said before, the method that Justin Mason suggested, only works if you are wanting to RE-ACTIVATE the built in BuddyPress forum, or at least thats what i have found from my experience.

And ive recently upgraded to Buddypress 1.5 and BBPress 2.0 (both updates officially came out the other day). The activity does work, however it doesnt post when u create FORUMS.

I created a New Forum and it didnt post anything to the activity stream. However, added two topics within the forums and it posted in the activity stream about both. I tried it with the “Discussion Forum” setting within Buddypress turned on and off, it worked both ways.

Try follow these steps. Also a moderator should probably close this thread as it’s a bit of a double post.

[Erlend]

Just do it exactly as Justin Mason said. If you want to use bbPress 2.0, don’t install bbPress through BuddyPress.

When you’ve installed BuddyPress and started the wizard, don’t enable the bundled forum component. Instead proceed install the bbPress 2.0 plugin from the standard WP plugin installer. It should automatically recognize that BuddyPress has been installed and will tap into the activity feed.

Some of the more BP-specific features of the old forum, most notably the group integration, are not in bbPress 2 yet. I’m guessing as soon as we’ve reached feature parity between the two forums, the legacy forum component can be permanently deprecated and there would be a whole lot less confusion about this set-up.

Also, as far as import process goes, it’s definitely subject to change.

Thanks for the info, anointed. Good to know it’s holding up.

Any advice on hosts… here’s my question/situation:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hosting

[ksmithtn]

What do you guys recommend for an affordable webhost for bbPress?

The board I’m working with is fairly high traffic, with about 1100 members at the moment, and using about 150 GB bandwidth at the moment. Server we’re on now is choking & we need to move ASAP!

Looking for inexpensive, yet reliable since it is a non-profit board.

I am running the current version of WordPress, v1.0.2 of bbPress and trying to import it into the latest available build of bbPress 2.0.

When selecting to begin the import this error gets thrown:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /home/winextra/public_html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39

Now that it the path to the installed version of the stand-alone version (1.0.2) of bbPress but for the live of me I can’t figure out how to gt past this so *any* help would be greatly appreciated

>>BBPress will publish to the activity stream

This isn’t working for me. I have it set up as “Sitewide Forums” and I set up a page /bbpress-forums/ to display the forums. How do you get bbpress to publish in the activity stream?

[3sixty]

I got it working this way, but I don’t see any forum activity in the Activity Stream.

Is there a way to set up bbPress so forum activity goes in the Activity Stream?

[Anointed]

I have not done any ‘true’ stress testing as of yet. I’m actually waiting for a stress test plugin to be built to see real stats. (Not my area of expertise)

What I can say is that my server load is staying under 2, which is where it was with vb.

[samsulla]

I also want to know this how to fix it. Please someone give me a correct suggestion on how to fix it

I would try is_bbpress() from the bbp-common-template.php functions file.

[Anointed]

I put the recent topics below my forum lists by modifying the archive-forum.php template file as follows:

<div class="entry-content">



<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>

<br><br>

<h3>Recent Topics:</h3>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>



</div>

Notice the second function which grabs the topics. Flip the functions around and you’ll get what you are after.

*I am assuming you added all the bbpress template files to your own theme so that you have full control over editing everything. If not, you will end up loosing your changes every time you update.

[Anointed]

Yeah, the breadcrumbs don’t yet function correctly on the users page. JJ is aware of the problem and has it on the todo list.

[Anointed]

Just a guess, but I would refresh the sites permalinks in the admin, and then refresh the forums links in the admin to see if it helps. Basically just go to each page and click save… beyond that not sure

[highexistence]

Every single permalink for forums give me a ‘page not found’ error. I’m using BBpress 2.0 and Buddypress 1.5 on the latest version of WP.

Any suggestions? Thanks

[ineken]

thank you for help.

I found the right file, I found the good part, I think it was leave I should use.

function widget( $args, $instance ) {

extract( $args );

$title = apply_filters( ‘bbp_replies_widget_title’, $instance );

$max_shown = !empty( $instance ) ? $instance : ‘5’;

$show_date = !empty( $instance ) ? ‘on’ : false;

// Query defaults

$replies_query = array(

‘post_status’ => join( ‘,’, array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ) ),

‘posts_per_page’ => $max_shown,

‘order’ => ‘DESC’

);

// Set the query name

bbp_set_query_name( ‘bbp_widget’ );

// Get replies and display them

if ( bbp_has_replies( $replies_query ) ) :

echo $before_widget;

echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>

<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>

• <?php

  $author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( ‘type’ => ‘both’, ‘size’ => 14 ) );

  $reply_link = ‘‘ . bbp_get_reply_topic_title() . ‘‘;

  /* translators: bbpress replies widget: 1: reply author, 2: reply link, 3: reply date, 4: reply time */

  printf( _x( $show_date == ‘on’ ? ‘%1$s on %2$s, %3$s, %4$s’ : ‘%1$s on %2$s’, ‘widgets’, ‘bbpress’ ), $author_link, $reply_link, get_the_date(), get_the_time() );

  ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php echo $after_widget;

endif;

bbp_reset_query_name();

}

I miss it more than learning how to change it: D

thank you I go little by little.

bbp-breadcrumb(); behaves strangely when viewing your profile. Instead of displaying the users username it displays the most recent WordPress post (e.g Home › Forum › Hello World!). The meta title for profiles is also bit strange… It just shows “›› Your Profile” and not “Username – Website title” as one might expect. Is this something that can be fixed?

Thanks in advance,

Kasper

Nope you can only pull this off if you have PHP skills.

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.

http://www.onemorething.nl/community/forum

I’m trying to list my layout like that but it’s very difficult.

[Niekje]

I need this translation but the problem is that I am unable to login there with my WordPress account. I can login here no problem but as soon as I go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default I am unable to login

[nathanbunn]

I have a template, originally designed for WordPress 3.2.1 and modified to accomodate the bbPress 2.0 plugin. One of the PHP functions I use in my navigation menu is the is_page() function, which finds if a certain page is selected and has been set to append a CSS style to the list item.

Is there an equivalent function that can be used for the bbPress plugin? If not, is there a workaround solution?

[Jaja..]

I’ve insert this to the loop. (showing on the homepage)

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums( array( 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'max_num_pages' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'forums-1' ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

This print only the first forum ID (top forum) and hides all others.

Next i would like to make this.

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums( array( 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'max_num_pages' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'forums-1' ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘max_num_pages’ => 1 ) ) ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/loop’, ‘forums-2’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘max_num_pages’ => 1 ) ) ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/loop’, ‘forums-3’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

Only problem it will always call the first (top) forum ID.

I need to find an $args? for calling a forum ID in each loop, this way i can say get forum ID 4 on the first loop and get forum ID 12 on the second loop.
