Hello all. SUPER new to bbpress. I have it installed and I am able to login with issue. problem is when I click on ADMIN to make changes, it redirects me to bb-login.php?re=/forums/bb-admin/ – which is the log on screen. I cannot get past this. Same thing happens if I choose log out.
What have I done wrong?
Hi there anointed. I assume that you are using bbPress 1.*. Let’s see what we got:
In bbPress the topic permalink is builded against site and not forum.
If I have a topic named ‘foo’ in forum ‘bar’ and then I create another ‘foo’ topic in forum ‘pub’ then the permalink will be automagically named foo-2 by the bb_slug_increment function.
You want:
/forum-name/sub-forum-name/post-name.html
You can’t achieve this behaviour with just an .htaccess tweaking. You need also to intercept the get_topic_link filter and change the link. Maybe also you will need to do something in the bb_repermalink function.
It can be quite challenging.
Maybe there is not a ready languagefile for Swedish to the beta rc3 yet?
OK. For the time being Akismet is out and Spam Free WordPress is in. Spammer Blocker is sidelined.
– It offers unattended removal of machine-generated spam
– It offers an IP blacklist
If It works for Comments I’ll turn bbPress back on.
I’ll let you know what happens.
Ok. This sounds like it will be difficult to do, but I hope maybe someone has the answer. I want to move some profile options that are under the edit of my bbpress profiles and move them to the buddypress profiles. I want to the options for signatures and the admin part to be editable and viewable in the buddypress profiles instead of the bbpress profiles. I know it’s possible with some coding, but I am not exactly sure where to move all this. Can someone help?
Aha 
Thanks, but if it doesnt activate automagically? 
Maybe is because Im using Twenty Eleven Theme? (Theme does not natively support bbPress
You are using bbPress 2.0-rc-3.0.
But the forum is working in english.
Update – it appears that the bbpress forums slug defaults to page.php inside my template, since my theme does not offer bbpress support.
Without having to integrate the child bbpress theme, how can I simply make it display the forms available on something like say page-forums.php?
I tried a snippit to redirect page to page-forums but it did not work.
@adv_user
I understand the problem. I only posted the snippet to show you that you can make the changes via simple css.
Given enough time it would not be that difficult to use css in order to make all the changes you are after.
I would suggest reading up on css a bit as it will really empower you to make the changes you are after. It’s actually rather easy to learn and quite fun to play around with.
I wish you luck
Oh oh, you’re talking about the new bbPress plugin. You’ve to put the language file in /bbpress/bbp-languages folder and if your WordPress blog is already Swedish, then the translations would get activated automagically.
In /bbpress/bb-config.php, you’d find:
define( 'BB_LANG', '' );
at the very bottom. Change that to:
define( 'BB_LANG', 'sv_SE' );
That should work.
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?
Thanks anointed for taking the time to answer… that’s the info I as looking for!
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)

Example:
[START FORUM]
[LARGE SPACE]
“Forum | Topics | Posts | Freshness”
[LARGE SPACE]
| Category 1
--- Forum 1 (0,0), Forum 2 (0,0), Forum 3 (0,0)
[CORRECT SPACE]
| Category 2
--- Forum 4 (0,0), Forum 5 (0,0)
[LARGE SPACE]
[FOOTER]
[END FORUM]

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.
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.

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
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?
