Hi guys!

I really can’t wait to start working with BP 1.5 and BB Press 2.0!

I’m just going through a homepage redesign in preparation for upgrading.

I was wondering, if I wanted to give users a sneak peak at what was going on in the site forums, could I somehow add say the latest 5 topics to the homepage in the same kind of layout that you would see in the forum directory?

Is there a shortcode for adding anything like that to a page?

Would be awesome if possible!

Thanks!

How can I download it?

It jus’ give me the directory Please!

We are going to be bbPress Persian language support website. Without localhost it will be impossible!

Which version of bbPress are you using? 1.0.3 or 1.1/trunk?

Hello, I am getting PHP error listing sbove my bbPress forum and admin panel.

Please help!

create a login/register form for users who go to site 2. I dont want them using wp-admin as that takes them to the admin dash board when they sign in and unlike on a single (non multi site) installation of wordpress I dont know how to change the user settings when a user logs in or signs up as we discussed in: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-give-users-who-sign-up-forum-participant.

So I need something like buddy press where they sign in and are taken back to the forums and never see the admin pannel.

in a single (non multi site)install of wordpress I can go to settings and say any user who signs up is signed up as a forum participant and when they sign in using wp-admin all they see is dash board, forums and topics. which is ideally what I want…..

I really hope that made sense…..

I just posted there at: http://testbp.org/discussion/topic/testing-9/#post-2780 and everything works.

So We can officially say that the plugins I am using are causing the edit, delete, mod keys to not work. How ever on local host all I have is the bbpress installation going. I integrated it with my theme following your steps in your sticky. So I can’t tell if its a theme issue or not. How ever could a theme cause the whole paragraph thing and html tags to epically fail?

so can we explain why the paragraph and html tags dont work?

[John James Jacoby]

testbp.org is a standalone installation not connected to anything. We use it to test BuddyPress, WordPress, and bbPress together in a typical hosting environment.

[Adam]

omg….Im sorry I meant BBPRESS…I was developing all day in buddypress hence why I said buddy press. any ways:

Site -> multisite:

site 1 = blog, regular wp-admin

site 2 = buddypress, buddypress sign in

site 3 = bbpress = no login?

i am wondering, as when i copied all the theme files like your sticky sais to for making bbpress integrate with your current wordpress theme, i saw some login, registration, forgot password and so on .php files. How can I use these to allow users to login on site 3, or to construct a form for signing up and logging in?

[John James Jacoby]

The concept of “deleting” is one we purposely prevent, to prevent permanent loss of data. If you want to delete it forever, you can do so directly or by making a plugin to do it. In bbPress 2.0, WordPress handles this for us the way you wish for it to.

Regarding posts bleeding into other topics, I’ve never heard of that happening before. Normally if you delete/spam the first post in a topic, it realigns the following posts properly.

Can you give me exact steps to duplicate the issue?

1. Do this

2. Do that

3. Etc?

[Adam]

Hmm lets see:

– we can rule out theme (for all but this paragraph and code issue, code being what tags can be used in the forum). I never though to check plugin in relation to the moderation buttons. I fear it may be the buddypress moderation plugin. tests will be done >_> (which they should have been)

-The install is on a multi site activated on one site instead of a network activate.

Where are the html tags located in the .php files that i can add or remove tags to? these tags don’t work on local host or live….unfortently. except for em….

also paragraph formatting doesn’t work on localhost or live.

Localhost has two plugins but only one is activated, bbpress. the other is buddypress 1.5 rc1 and its deactivated.

any other ideas or suggestions?

[John James Jacoby]

Please don’t bump topics here. The forums do not move quickly enough to need it.

BuddyPress and bbPress both rely on WordPress’s users tables, and you should be able to use either one. It’s possible that BuddyPress takes over the registration though, so you might need to do some investigating/development to get it working how you’d like it to.

Someone needs to make a Retro Kakumei theme, which I think would be awesome.

[master5o1]

In my CSS (toolbar.css) all things are constrained to #post-toolbar.

It doesn’t do any resizing yet, and may never do. But the toolbar’s FAQ does suggest how to set a max-width using style.

I am going to make the CSS more customisable, just a tad.

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, there may be a WP plugin that fits your needs and will impact the bbPress plugin.

[iamxquisite]

Thanks bro i kind of figured there is only about 3 plugins out for 2.0 so far i guess those will have to do for now

[Andre]

I suggest using the WordPress plugin version of bbPress, version 2.x. bbPress 2.0 uses the same WP theme your site is using. It can also import data from a 1.x installation.

This thread will tell you how to display forum content the easiest way. – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

[Andre]

If you are using bbpress 0.x or 1.x, create and use a my-plugins folder.

If you are using bbpress 2.x, use WordPress plugins instead of bbPress plugins.

[warezjasz]

Why is does even BBpress 2 looks like all other crappy forum plugins for WordPress like Mingle forum, or WP forum?

Why the conception was changed? How to make BBpress 2 looks like good old BBpress

(I obviously mean about 1 main board, and categories on sidebar)

I know this has been mentioned in topics elsewhere but there’s so many topics in this forum that I can’t find them at the moment and thought it was time this was asked again.

When topics and posts are deleted they are just set not to display in the front end of the forums. However, there is a bug that if a topic with a single post, ie a spam topic, is deleted, all the previously deleted posts including all the spam magically reappears all through the forum topics.

This is obviously a rather serious bug. Has this been addressed in the most recent bbpress? We are currently running 1.0.3 and I thought it was supposed to be fixed in that version but it hasn’t.

I am now marking spams etc as spam rather than deleting them, hopefully this will fix the issue.

However, it brings up another issue, and that is that there’s no simple way to delete posts etc permanently from the db without doing it manually through sql.

Again, this is a huge omission from the software.

So, my question is, has anyone written a plugin to do this, or are these probs being addressed? Anyone got any info on the status of these probs?

I’ve had to go back and redelete spam so many times it’s not funny, I want working forum software, not a hobby, I’ve got better things to do, as I expect many other bbpress users do too.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate all the work that’s gone into bbpress and its plugins, but it’s kind of hard to fathom these sorts of omissions from what is otherwise quite a good system.

I really need to instal bbPress 1.0.3 on localhost but I jus’ can do it with XAMPP that have 5.3.1. but bbP give me error I really need help.

These are the errors:

bbPress 2.0 is a plugin with 40,000 lines of code, adding huge amounts of capability equal to WordPress posts and pages themselves. Sadly, it won’t work out-of-the-box with 100% of all themes, and it sounds like you’re one of those cases. It’s one of the first plugins to mix custom post types with theme compatibility, so you’re literally one of the first few people to use it.

There’s no importers available for most forum systems, but it would be really easy to just rebuild my small forum if I could change the post authors. Is there a way to do this?

[Adam]

I am curious as to how to do this in multi site. Currently I have Site 1,2 and 3. Site 1 is just a blog. No need to sign up for that. Site 2 is buddy press thats all handled on its own. Site three is bbpress forums. I want users who sign up for that site to be signed up as “forum participant.” How is this done? in a single site installation you can go in and change what users are labeled as when they sign up. You can even individually change them upon them signing up. How ever in multi site you have to individually change them after they signed up… >_>

Am I doing this wrong? is it done as such: sign up for one, sign up for all?

if so How do I change it so that even though you are signed up for buddypress you must sign up for buddy press? and once done you are signed up as a forum participant.

The “vanilla” configuration doesn’t show the forum until my sidebar is finished… so the page becomes extremely long and appears to have no information aside from a title and the sidebar content. I’m sorry to seem frustrated, but this is the only plugin I have used that required me to completely redesign my site or the plugin in order for it to function properly.
