Hi!

I have downloaded and installed BBPress 2.0 rc3 with WordPress and it works fine. I would like to change to Swedish so I have uploaded the two language files (.po and .mo) to /bbpress/my-languages/. But I wont get Swedish. What am I doing wrong? Someone told me to edit the settings.php in /bbpress/ but I cant find it?

Thanks for helping me!

Hi, is there any chance to change Freshness values for localization purposes? Now, there is for example “5 days” and I need changing it to “5 days ago” due to localization problem (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18495 ). Thank you for your help…

My website caches all spam after updating bbpress plugin for wordpress(I am not talking about independent bbpress).

I had to click spam on posts like you say before I updated, but now it works briliant.

Three weeks ago I set out to test bbPress with Akismet. Here is what I found.

– Akismet requires manual spam deletion under all circumstances

– Akismet cannot block by IP

– Akismet cannot prevent users from creating tags in bbPress. All bogus tags must be removed manually. It is not clear to me why users are allowed to create tags to begin with.

I took a fit this AM and turned off both WP Comments and bbPress. All I really want to do is create content. However, there is another part of me that is not ready to be directed by cockroaches.

I am wondering if Spammer Blocker will play well with Akismet. I am also wondering if there are other worthwhile strategies I have not yet found.

Comments?

I know this is probably an easy answer, but I couldn’t find a thread that explained it fully. I’m trying to install to a subdomain in my WordPress site. I add the folder to my “WP-Content>Plugin” folder, then activate it. However I don’t know how to make it point to my subdomain. I created the subdomain yesterday, so it should be active, I just don’t know if there’s a config file, or where in the WordPress settings I need to make the change. I’m installing bbpress ver 2.0, my main site is http://letterstoreason.com and the subdomain is http://forum.letterstoreason.com if that helps. I know it’s gotta be staring me in the face, I’ve just been Googling and can’t find the damn answer :S any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for this suggestion anointed.

Unfortunately it is not so simple.

With this CSS will space, but the layout of the subcategories will not be pleasant.

And also a lot of spaces “tHead”. And do not appear the “Subforums” (need change the code of the theme)

I’ve just tried to release wysiwyg-CKEditor (plugin) from denying of formatting made in, as it was suggested in http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wysiwyg-ckeditor/page/2/#post-6390

/ / Add_filter (‘pre_post’, ‘bb_encode_bad’);

/ / Add_filter (‘pre_post’, ‘bb_filter_kses’, 50);

using this instead, in defaults.bb-filters.php. So, it works well, but I’m anxious about the security level of this action. Is it safe?! Or someone may somehow use this to post any desired content ??

Hello!

Is it possible to get bbPress working in a WordPress multisite manner? I’d like to have users of my site to create own forums, preferably with own subdomains.

If this isn’t currently possible, can the WP Multisite users create each an own forum under their multisite account? Is it possible to create the forum automatically for each new user?

If these are not possible now, are you planning to create support for this kind of functionality in the future. I could be also able to write some simple hacks by myself, or a new plugin

Couldn’t find an exact answer to this in the previous threads.

[Billy Bryant]

Ok, I am setting up a new configuration and here is what I have:

WordPress v3.2.1

bbPress Plugin for WordPress v2.0-rc-3

BuddyPress Plugin for WordPress v1.2.9

I am going through the setup of BuddyPress and on the section “BuddyPress > Forums Setup” you are presented with two options.

“Setup a new bbPress installation”, which from previous experience seems to install bbPress with ONLY group functionality no categories, and “Use an Existing bbPress Installation”, which is what I’m trying to use.

The configuration issue I’m coming to is the next step is to define the path to the bb-config.php file; however, when using the bbPress plugin, bb-config.php is not created as it uses wp-config for all of its standard settings (auth salts/keys, database connections, etc).

So how do i continue with my current setup and have fully integrated WP + BP + bbP without sacrificing on bbPress features by installing it from within BP and without having to install the standalone bbPress (I’d prefer to only have one admin interface)?

Any assistance from the pros would be greatly appreciated!

Simply install bbpress into a directory on your web server. and add a link to the forum in your wordpress site menu. Do you need help installing bbpress?

i am trying to make a forum for my wordpress website.

the question is how to install bbpress in wordpress?

[Krispulo2000]

Hi,

I like to use [bbp-forum-index] shortcode in sidebar and show only Topics number (as https://bbpress.org/forums/). Now show Topics, Post, Freshness. Can i choose which parameters to display?

Thxs

[kimijye]

As for me, I’m using a custom WP theme and I have the plug-in in the specified folder, but I can’t get to the bbpress configuration screen. I get 404 errors, I get nothing (just see my home page). What do I do?

The only thing I can think of is Nicer Permalinks https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/ its not exactly what you are looking for but its the next best thing

[theurbantwist]

Can someone take a look at my forum page and let me know some reasons as to why my forum isn’t showing up?

I’ve followed all instructions to a “T” and I’m obviously moving in the right direction because my “Theme natively supports bbPress” as stated in the dashboard admin panel and on my forum page, it’s at least labeled at the top in the breadcrumbs section that it’s a forum but that’s pretty much it.

Also I know that things are installed properly with the plugin because when I switch theme to default it works as is.

I just want to know if I’m missing something. I’ve moved all relevant files into my theme folder, and like I said before I’ve followed instructions to a “t” and I’m pretty knowledgeable with wordpress and theme customization but can’t figure this out at the moment.

Any suggestions?

I would create a child theme of twenty-ten if that is what you are working from. I would then add in all the bbpress template files into your new child theme and modify everything from there.

That is kind of the concept of child themes, where you can modify to your hearts delight without fear of upgrading the primary themes and loosing your changes.

There are hundreds of great articles online dealing with child-themes.

[Anointed]

I didn’t play with it much, and can’t confirm that this works across all browsers, but from a quick test it only took me one line of css in order to achieve what you were after.

.bbp-forums { border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 2px 50px; float: left; width: 100%; }

**This is going to be much easier when working with a theme that does not use tables, as you can’t apply margins to table cells like you would expect with normal divs.

[jasonvbox-ua]

Hello. I installed bbpress, but when I go to domain.com/fourms, it seems to be using the page.php template. I do not have any theme integration, all I want is the same as the shortcode. When you go to domain.com/forums, the list of fourms appear.

What can I do? I tried putting archive-forums.php and others into my template dir with no luck.

if I create a new page, add in the shortcode, then the forums breadcrumb still links to the non page.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You’d probably just need a plugin like you have for WordPress to upload avatars like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-local-avatar/

You may need to fiddle with your theme, depending on how the plugin works, but as bbPress runs via CPTs it should just pull it in.

[adv_user]

In fact, if you see my posts, two years ago, I sought it, at the time that the integration with WordPress was difficult:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-subforum-change-css

Now bbPress has evolved a lot, because it has become plugin an easily integrated with the WordPress and BuddyPress.

So I’m sure that soon this will be improved organization of categories.

@anointed:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-sub-forums#post-11762

Joining the contents of these two topics that I passed the link, you can get what they want (as you yourself said, tks), but let’s be honest…

It is not easy for those who are only user

(not even a beginning programmer)

In other forums it is ready. Simply create categories and forums by default that the organization already does this separation. It should also be standard in bbPress.

If you do not want the separation of categories, will not do it, but it uses different categories is because you want to be separated for better organization.

So it is ideal to be implemented this improvement, and as you mentioned, many other features (as plugins).

And preferably, as plugins for WordPress, which can be installed and automatically updated directly by the panel without having to use FTP, as are separate plugins bbPress.

Suggestion:

is that all plugins from bbPress and BuddyPress, stay in the WordPress directory, thus it will be much easier to use them.

[Anointed]

It is currently possible with the default theme and does not really require any php knowledge. You will spend 90% of your time simply modifying the css in order to get the results you are asking for.

There are a few functions to move around in order to get the exact layout, but that is simply a matter of moving functions around the templates and not writing new functions.

*Now in order to get the full ‘functionality’ of the forums you are talking about, then yeah, that would take a considerable amount of coding work to write all the needed functionality. I fully expect to see many of those features coming in the form of plugins though.

[Anointed]

I am importing my vbulletin forum into bbpress and all is working perfectly. I do have one request though.

My old permalink structure is website.com/Community/forum-name/postname.html

I had no problem getting the Community to replace the standard ‘forums’ in the admin panel.

What I need help with is how to change the single post view url to the above scheme.

Currently bbpress does website.com/Community/topic/topic-name

I want to replace topics with the name of the forum the post is in, and if it’s a grandchild forum have it /forum-name/sub-forum-name/post-name.html

any advice?
