I’m meeting with some IT students tomorrow who will possibly be working on projects with me as part of their course. I was thinking that maybe they could make some simple widgets for the new bbPress plugin.

Are there any simple plugins/widgets that bbPress users would like built?

More information is available on WP Tavern:

http://www.wptavern.com/forum/plugins-hacks/2294-free-wordpress-plugin-development.html

And I’ve posted some of the current suggestions on Google+, none of them are bbPress related (yet):

Thanks for any ideas you guys might have

Ok, just updated ro RC2. It’s a great plugin, and it helps me a lot. There is one issue however. The feeds do not work as expected.

Also, I cannot change my password here. I had another account here and lost my password. I requested a password change email and got a message back that I am not allowed to change it. I posted on facebook and did not get a reply to that topic. I made a new account now, but this should really be fixed.

So now to the feeds. I can use feeds by adding a /feed to the end of the URLS, but this does not work as expected and not as it did in the Version 1:

When subscribing to the forum feed, I would expect that I should get a feed of the posts in the forum. Instead I get a feed of the Subforums in the forum. See here:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/ is the URL

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/feed shows me the subforums in the order of the latest entry there. I want to see all feeds however, and had that in the last version. Clicking on the link provided does not bring me to the latest post, but to the subforum, where I then have to search again for the latest post.

Now let’s say I want to subscribe to a subforum only:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/feed does not show me the lower subforums or the topics. Its simply empty.

So let’s go to a forum that has no subforums, but posts in it:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/access-user-rights-etc/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/access-user-rights-etc/feed/ is empty too!

So as a last resort, I want to subscribe to one single topic:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/topic/conection-issues/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/topic/conection-issues/feed/ works normally. The others do not however.

As an admin I need to know about the new topics posted and AFAIK the feeds are the best and intended way to do so. Please please fix this!

Haha good point. And sorry for my ignorance

[John James Jacoby]

For what it’s worth, *not* wanting complete integration between a WordPress install and bbPress is the exception rather than the rule. It’s been a long while since someone has wanted two separate and disconnected installations.

Best of luck!

[John James Jacoby]

@chesternerd – This topic is in regards to bbPress 2.0, which is a turn-key plugin for WordPress.

@Stephanie Leary – Try r3404 – Multisite or single? Have you tried deactivating/reactivating the plugin?

[John James Jacoby]

Because bbPress 1.0 doesn’t allow for comment splitting.

If what you want to talk about doesn’t have an existing topic, make one. We’re pretty lax about things getting off topic here, but there are a few focused topics (mostly stickies) that I’m trying to keep on topic.

It goes both ways too – if you start a topic for help on something, and someone comes into it and starts asking unrelated questions, eventually there will come a point where you’ll want things to shift back on topic.

I’m seeing this as well with WP 3.2.1 and bbPress rev. 3398, downloaded tonight.

“Where can I contribute translations

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/”

I was willing to translate to Spansh, since is my mother language, and I need it. I translated a few things and realised that it didn’t work, they need to be aproved to be downloaded. Then I saw this:

Language % Translated Untranslated Waiting

Spanish (Spain) 0% 0 706 818

Almost everything has been already translated, but is not aproved. I’ve been reading and it might not be perfect, since some words are still in english (for instance Topic instead of “Hilo/Tema”), but it would be great to have access to that translation. There’ll be time for future improvements, I am the first one interested.

So, who’s in charge of it?

Thank you.

PD: I need it for this http://www.opes.es/ new website. I got a translation file but is not completed. I am also looking for a guide to develop a plugin using the rewrite module, since the dynamic tests are now created using ?ID=x …

@Erlend you are the best! Vanilla is perfect…BBPress I guess just isn’t the right tool for this job.

Thanks!!!!

Is anybody using BBPress any more? My only reply so far was spam.

[Jim R]

I’ve tried the shortcode for the index page, and it’s not taking me to my forum.

http://hoosierhoopsreport.com

I’m trying to use the plugin version.

[ratsoid2]

I am always updating the files as soon as I see an update here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin/ so I am REALLY looking forward to see that update

Cheers JJJ

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I would suggest you to use the standalone version

[pimarts]

It’s this ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1576

Giving the “edit_other_forums” cap seemed to solve it.

[Thomas Clausen]

Ahh you’re right it is in the reply spam, so only 1 and 2 above is a problem…

[pimarts]

I’ve had this happen in my install as well, most of the time the post contained a link. It’s visible in the backend though, look for the hidden replies (or hidden topics) count.

It seems like the spam control is a bit too triggerhappy.

[Thomas Clausen]

I had a (good regular)user keep posting af reply to a topic, but he didn’t see the comment. Fortunately he wrote me, and I found it marked as spam (several times) in the database.

That must be three problem:

1. The user wasn’t notified that his comment was marked as spam

2. The user had a bunch of approved comments, so this shouldn’t happen should it?

3. I couldn’t see this anywhere in the WordPress backend

[Thomas Clausen]

Sorry. But that thread doesn’t want bugs either

I’ll just do what John wrote in the long thread you link to, and write a new thread for each issue (hoping they won’t drown in the flow of regular bbPress queries)

I understand that we did wrong, but I don’t understand why a moderator didn’t just split the thread, since I think the comments are very valid regarding bbPress.

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed.

[Erlend]

@Buslawekee, @tntc1978 and @Mike1233, please don’t make this into another bbPress 2.0 Updates thread. We’ve been given specific topics to which John wanted additional feedback. Anything not related to those clearly defined topics belong in their own threads, or a new ticket on Trac if it’s a valid bug report.

[Erlend]

Separate as in users, or just not an inherent part of WordPress?

I highly recommend Vanilla:

http://vanillaforums.org/

That’ll give you a tight integration with WordPress, but through a “bridge”, so CMS and Forum remain two distinct systems.
