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

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.

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.

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.

Then don’t.

Use the theme compatibility that it comes with.

If you’re not happy with the vanilla configuration, you’re on your own to customize it. If you’re able to make a WordPress theme, you’re able to make it bbPress enabled. You just need to learn how like you did with WordPress.

I’m trying to get bbpress working with my existing wordpress site. I installed the V2 plugin but liked the look of the standalone site. So I installed the 1.0.3 standalone version. I also downloaded 3 themes to play with. I installed them in my_templates/ but when I click on “themes” on the Admin panel, it just takes me back to the main forum page. I also installed a plugin in my-plugins/ but don’t see anyway to activate it.

I must be missing something basic here. I can’t see anyway on the admin page to configure this stuff.

hey there i found a solution got my site i made a tutorial!!

Mny thanks for your help sir

Hi everyone, I’ve got a new WordPress theme support forum ready but I’m stuck in something. Registered users of the forum (Subscriber role) aren’t allowed to post certain tags in topics for security reasons.

My question is, is there any way all code is allowed in raw format if it’s inside a CODE html tag? I believe the previous standalone version of bbpress supported this.

Best regards

[iamxquisite]

Alright everyone so I have installed bbpress in my blog that already existed in with wordpress.

Now the question is I want to install a plugin into my forum but it says something about i need to put it in /my-plugins directory so i have checked under the /bbpress directory in my site which looks like /blog/bbpress and i dont see any directory called /my-plugins

Should i just install it into the blog/wp-content/plugins will it work that way??

[mouridis]

I’m greek and I have a WordPress blog in greek running bbpress RC4.

The problem with using greek in your blog is the use of non-latin characters in the titles of the posts. This leads to the creation of slugs with non-latin characters and consequently pretty-permalinks with non-latin characters. That -of course- is a problem because URLs look nice in the address bar of your browser i.e.

http://deltahacker.gr/2011/08/19/πάρα-πολύ-καλά-νέα-αυτό/

but when you copy the URL to paste it somewhere else -in an email for example-, the same URL becomes:

http://deltahacker.gr/2011/08/19/%CF%80%CE%AC%CF%81%CE%B1-%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BB%CF%8D-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%AC-%CE%BD%CE%AD%CE%B1-%CE%B1%CF%85%CF%84%CF%8C/

To resolve this problem, greek blog owners can use the plugin Greeklish-Permalings (from the words Greek & English). This plugin adds a filter on the sanitize_title function of WordPress with a new function that converts every non-latin character to a similar latin. For example, the greek alpha character “α” becomes the latin alpha character “a” and so on. So when someone creates a new post, and wordpress tries to create a slug automatically, sanitize-title is called, which is hooked to the plugin, and so a slug with only latin characters is created, even if there are non-latin characters in the title.

You can see the code of this very small plugin on my dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1816074/greeklish-permalinks.php

The problem is that the plugin does not work with bbpress titles. If a forum or topic title contains greek (non-latin) characters, they are not converted to latin even if the plugin is enabled. Does someone know why is this happening?

Doesn’t bbpress call the sanitize_title function? Do not plugin function filters work for custom post types?

I just feel like this should be a much simpler task being that this is a forum plugin made for wordpress by wordpress. Why do I have to make a theme for a plugin for my theme that I already made for it’s parent.

I am sorry, but I refuse to make 2 themes for all of the future sites I make just to support a plugin.

I am wondering how to allow users to login in and use the forums. easy enough you would think. But I have never tested or had a site where users had to sign up. my other site (multisite so I have three) uses buddy press and thats all fine and dandy. as they sign up, and they are returned to buddy press. Will users signing up for my site be returned to the home page? will they have admin pannel (post new posts, edit themes, install plugins) rights? if so How do i remove that?

I am very cautious about this how ever I want to allow users to use the forums, hence why I am creating them…

my second issue is that when I am logged in, as the site admin, and I go to a forum and a test topic and hit any of the “admin” buttons for moderating a forum I get the following issues:

edit: refreshes the page

close: refreshes the page

Stick (to front): refreshes the page

merge, trash and spam: refreshes the page.

on local host these all work.

I am using multi site on the live site and I have this plugin activated for one of my three sites. on local host I am NOT using multi site.

Also, How will bbpress plugins work for bbpress 2.0? the same as before? or will we install them as regular plugins and just activate them?

I’ve installed all the recent versions of Buddypress and BBpress. WP is 3.1.2.

Can anyone just let me know if the view button in the activity stream works well in your sites?

[common8308]

I updated from bbpress 2.0 beta-2 to the recent version of bbpress, and I was excited to find the forum topics and replies shown in the buddypress activity stream. First I want to thank you for developing this really nice feature.

The thing is that when I click “view” button in the activity stream, the link is not redirected to the original forum topic or reply, and it’s just redirected to this kind of URL. rootURL/activity/p/26442/

Is this a known bug or am I the only one having this problem? Thanks in advance for your reply!
