I am a newbie here and was wondering what will I do to integrate the RSS feed of the recent post and topics here at bbpress forums to my facebook and twitter account. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am supporting this request/motion. This will be beneficial to all who use the old bbpress version concerns.

And be glad that it doesn’t…

If you update a plugin, it gets disabled automatically during the updating process (when using the update function from WP). If disabling the plugin would reset it, you’d have to reconfigure your whole forums after an update.

And if it would delete forums and posts when updating, imagine what the consequenses are.

You can bulk delete forums, topics and replies in the Dashboard to get rid of them before you detele the plugin though. The settings will still be there, but if you don’t do anything with the plugin after you deleted it, why would that be a problem?

[Richard Moon]

It does not appear to be cleaning up the data when you deactivate and delete the plugin.

In the Settings I changed the Archive Slugs>Forums Base value from “forums” to “discussion”. I created a Forum by the name of “Education”. I deactivated and deleted the plugin. Looking in the database I can still see the Education entry in the posts table. I don’t know where to look to see the “discussion” setting.

I re-installed and found that the Forums Base value was already set to “discussion” when it should show the default of “forums”, and the Education forum was already set up.

I second that, but as far as I recall it has been discussed elsewhere. But I think it’s a good idea…

For those that couldn’t get sitemap generator working with nicer permalinks, I modified the file: bbpress_sitemap.zip.

[Alex]

Okay, I’ve got it working. I simply modified bbpress_sitemap.php. Here’s the file in zip.

Hi

I don’t use wordpress i want to use bbpress

I want to convert script wordpress to bbpress ( move all topic and post and user from the wordpress to bbpress )

Please

[symetrikdesign]

I have found a couple of bugs, or conflicts with other modules.

Where is the best location to post these?

Here’s what I found so far:

Wordpress 3.2.1

bbPress 2.0 RC3

Twenty Ten Theme

Bug 1) When using WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin, I am able to set the Page Title for forums, topics, and replies. This works for topics/replies, but for forums, the token is displayed instead of the site name.

Settings: %%title%% | %%sitename%%

Output is: My First Forum | %%sitename%%

It should be: My First Forum | My Site Name

Bug 2) When using the Rating-Widget to 5 star ratings of posts/pages/comments, etc, You cannot turn off the ratings stars for forums, forum topics. These should only show up when viewing the individual topics, not in the indexes.

I can’t see a way to turn this off for forums or forum topic indexes.

I can send a screenshot to explain the issue.

[symetrikdesign]

Can you make a new forum for bbpress 2.0x.

I’m new to the community, and I want to make the comment that it is very difficult to decipher old content/plugins/bug reports for bbpress 1.0 which are no longer relevant to bbpress 2.0x.

Thanks

[ppraks]

I am new to this forum but quite impressed with all the support stuff here. My bbpress forum and topic pages are taking time to load. Can someone please look into http://www.pharmaatmorning.com and and let me know if there is anything visibly wrong? I am hosted with ipage.

Thing about that is you wouldn`t be taking advantage of the lightweight nature of comments, which is ideal for simple reactions but not so much extended discussions. Actually I really like the term ‘reactions’, as that’s where I draw the line between a comment and a conversation. I’ve updated my mockup to reflect that. Here’s the updated image:

https://i.imgur.com/y09EW.png

You’d also be confined to a single thread of discussion, which is the key limitation this plugin would resolve. Look at the linked TED page and you’ll see pretty much the exact setup I’m looking for.

Another reason to use comments is that if you’re using a P2-like theme you can enable near real-time comments on your article. This is only possible with WP comments, not posts.

Oh, and then there’s the many types of plugins that facilitate unregistered commenting. Besides anonymous comments, there are plugins to enable posting with a Facebook/Twitter/Google account without actually registering to the site, but just to avoid spam.

Finally, I actually think this “comment conversion” approach would be less of a hack than using bbPress in place of comments. It’s a one way conversion, from one standard data format to another. Removing the plugin only removes the conversion method; what’s left is perfectly standard data, ready for export etc.

In the end it comes down to what you need for your website. Check out “use bbPress in place of wordpress comments” if you want to continue discussing the setup you have in mind.

@blupp: This is exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll see if I can come up with a cleaner version. I’m not a php/bbPress expert, so if anyone can jump in on this, it would be much appreciated!

[folgerj]

Thanks I added the short code to create a new page that shows up on the menu line. I used the following…

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

[bbp-lost-pass]

[bbp-topic-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

At this location..

http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/

My only question is there anything better I can do with the shortcodes to implement the login and register page?

[Matalina]

I am using the twenty eleven theme currently unmodified and using the [bbp-forum-index] short code to display the forums. The forums are displaying correctly however I have set my template page to have a side bar as it should according to the page code I’m using.

My question is: Does the short tag use it’s own template? Is that why the page is not rendering as any other page? ie: no sidebar when it should have one.

I will be making my own child theme with bbpress support, but that won’t be until I finish a plugin I’m working on first.

http://bregandaerth.just-us.net is the site. The forums page should look like all the other pages, but it does not.

Thank you

I’ll try relevanssi too !

[ScottLamon]

Thanks

[Andre]

You can change it at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress. You probably want to uncheck the “Incude the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links” box.

[ScottLamon]

Thanks for the short-codes John… but as a completely new user of bbPress how exactly do I use these? What is the proper structure, for instance, if I create a new page in wp and want to add this to the HTML?

The reason I ask is because I’ve been having problems getting bbPress setup properly and have posted this problem already in the forums but from what I gather – 1 or more of these short-codes might be the fix for my problem. Here is a snippet of my previous post stating the actual problem I’m having:

---

I’ve installed bbPress (2.0 version) and had a few problems then deleted it and re-installed. Now, when I go the “Forums” tab in wp-admin and I try to either edit the “draft” forum or add a new forum I get the naming option as:

http://www.maghosttrappers.com/forums/forum/????? (??? = whatever I type in as name)

Is this the correct settings? ie. /forums/forum/whatever_I_name … seems a little long and redundant…

I wasn’t sure if by re-installing I had caused a problem or if this being the “beta version” it was setup to not write over an existing forum…

Either way, can anyone tell me where and how to change this if possible (at least take out one of the “forum” parts?

---

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Scott

While I’ve got a little WP experience I’m completely new to bbPress so try to keep in simple aka. in “Lamon’s terms” ~ that is my last name after all LOL

Thanks,

I would suggest only Register link be displayed. Forgot Password would be on the failed login screen.

[abdessamad idrissi]

hey there!

I think the current “bbPress Login Widget” is missing two links:

. register

. forgot password

Hopefully there is the “Sidebar login” plugin that comes in rescue, but, wont it be hassle-less to have the two links on the integrated bbPress widget?

file to edit : bbp-core-widgets.php

PS: I opened a trac ticket for this enhancement

Hello,

For what it is worth I have the same issue on this combination:

BBPress 1.0.3

WP: 3.2.1

bbPress Integration Plugin – latest from wordpress plugins repository as of 7/25/2011

Any ideas on where I should start?

The bbAdmin user can post new topics, forums, replies, etc however any other user type does not have an option to add a new topic or reply to existing topic, but they can SEE topics, forums and posts made by the bbPress admin.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben
