Sorry for the bumping, i can no longer edit my previous post. you should really set the time to like 9999 or something to allow for infinite editing.
Any ways:
The following: http://blackandwhite.web44.net/labs/topic/this-is-a-test-post/
if my site (I activated it so you can take a look and maybe poke around the css…Or at least get a better understanding of what I am talking about)
So how did I get here?
I followed:https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility step number 3 bullet 2. To a “T” what did you change? Nothing, well thats a lie, I removed side bar and the h1 title tag for the forum or topic you are in.
I then boiled it down to a theme issue. Something in my current theme is prevening the b tag, paragraphs and the blockquote tag from working.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
The only modifications I made was following your instructions in terms of copying everything from the bbpress default theme over to the WordPress theme folder. Then all I was editing was the css…
Where in the css would be the paragraph tags for users reply box?
Also the HTML Tags that users can use don’t function either >_>
Thanks for the insight John. I didn’t even notice it, but under the BP admin menu, there was a link to “Complete the bbPress” installation. Looks like simply following those installation steps automatically changed the slugs for me. Works like a champ. I appreciate all your help! Happy Monday.
This is partially addressed in bbPress RC 5. This happens when BuddyPress and bbPress are both trying to live in the same place on your site. You’ll need to change one of their slugs to be something other than “forums” and it should fix things.
Good day,
I have BuddyPress installed and oddly enough, when I attempt to access http://domain.com/forums/forum/general for example, it simply redirects me to my homepage.
Whenever I disable BuddyPress, the bbPress forum loads up like a champ. What could be causing the redirect?
My index.php isn’t even used for this by the way. I’m using a static homepage as specified in my “Reading” options in WP. All loops are standard, headers and footers all include the wp_head() and wp_footer(). Weird how it only seems to happen when BuddyPress is enabled.
Hello Gautam,
I have created a new topic on my issue but still no one reply me on that.
Please reply it would be appreciated.

Hi; just checked the translation of bbPress 2 over at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/ and it’s seemingly lacking these two strings:
“This category contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.”
“This category contains %1$s and %2$s.”
Jeez, I didn’t know that was ready! That sounds awesome! So does the importer use the old ‘group’ names as forums or just import all of the posts in one forum?
Sorry to ask so many questions, I’m totally new to the standalone version.
There is an importer that is bundled with bbPress plugin itself. Just navigate to Tools -> Importer -> bbPress Standalone and enter the path to the BuddyPress bbPress install (should get detected automatically) and you’d be good to go (backup must).
Ahh wow, cool, that looks great! I don’t have BB Press installed on my live site yet but will set up a test and have a look.
It would be awesome to place shortcodes on pages for stuff like this. Where you could perhaps show x number of latest topics etc.
Is there any news on an exporter by the way, to export old Buddypress groups/ forums into the new BB Press plugin.
I want to get rid of groups and just have some forums like on test-bp.org.
The group names would effectively become the main forum names and then the topics would appear in each forum.
Is that on the cards?
Thanks again!
You can use this code (untested, but should work if bbPress is being loaded on that page):
if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );
@JJJ: I think we could allow such attributes in [bbp-topic-index] shortcode too?
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.
Forum: http://i.imgur.com/mXHnU.png
Admin: http://i.imgur.com/UECSk.png
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?
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
