can you tell me what changes you have made and what is the content of the config.php exactly

Many thanks for your comment.

I have upgraded to the RC of bbPress 2.0 and converted my sites to use WordPress Network. So far, everything is going good.

I have written a converter for phpBB (prob an older version) to bbpress (the native Word Press version, Version 2.0-beta-3) for a client. Imports everything but the private messages at the moment. phpBB usernames had to be massaged to have spaces and punctuation removed.

This would not be free, but inexpensive, shareware prices. But a few beta testers to see if it might be generally useful would be nice. Contact me if interested.

@pimarts, that is correct, running the old plugin version here.

You can download either version here:

I am trying out 2.0 and have a private forum. I want to have non-logged in users receive a different message than a 404 or ideally be redirected to an about page. Is this possible with bbPress 2.0 or does anyone have a plugin/hack to do the job?

Thanks,

Andrew

Just to be sure: This forum runs the stand-alone version of bbPress NOT the WordPress plugin.

[Jordi2000]

I change the permissions.

But still I cannot find the Biziness Template.

Not sure whether I am in the bbpress dashboard..

It says:

Theme bbPress (Twenty Ten) with 6 Widgets

You are using WordPress 3.2.1.

The Biziness template should appear in Appearance>Themes, no?

I have a very small phpbb rpg site that I would LOVE to port to bbpress – is anyone running a bbpress rpg site? are there any dice rollers, that kind of thing for bbpress?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Sounds like you are using the standalone version. Its a bbPress theme so it will be visible in bbPress dashboard and not in WordPress dashboard.

If you still have issues, change the permission of my-templates folder to 755. Incase you don’t know how to change permissions, read this – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/

Hi,

We updated our WordPress today to 3.2.1, and made a few other tweaks, and now we are having some login issues.

Issue: User logs in, gets main Forum screen. Clicks on about any link or post, and then says:

“This topic requires access to private forum.”

“Please Login to Access It.”

If they then log in again, it lets them view the post. But then click on any link, gives same login screen again.

I have cleared all cookies, done a complete logoff, reset password, etc.

We have the basic(not full) level of integration with bbPress and WordPress.

Also may be a clue: When I change my password, the same password then works on both sites.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve just installed the bbPress Plugin to my site.

I want to be able to lock users from editing their own profile.

I found this former thread.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lock-profile-editing-from-non-administrators

Could someone give me advice if the mini-plugin mentioned in this thread would work with the bbPress Plugin?

If so, how would I install it?

Thanks so much,

Sasha

I’ve done some more experimenting and it appears that page.php is the template file determining the appearance of the forum page. Is there a way to change this?

[emersonthis]

Correction. It doesn’t appear to be using the page.php template file however it is definitely piggybacking off the current wordpress theme somehow, because specific dynamic sidebars appear which are only called within my theme. It’s very confusing.

Although this question is highly related to the issue you’re having, I started a specific thread here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/which-wordpress-template-file-gets-used-by-bbpress-plugin

[emersonthis]

I’m experimenting with the BBPress plugin on a pre-existing WordPress site and I cannot figure out which template file is used to display the forum.

I’ve tried creating a new page and using shortcode to make the forum appear on that page, then assigning different templates. This seems to have no effect.

Does anyone know how the BBPress plugin decides which template file to use when displaying the forum?

[emersonthis]

I’m also running BBPress as a plugin to a pre-existing WordPress installation. After a lot of trial and error, I deduced that the forum appears on a WP page using the page.php template of the host wordpress theme.

I’ve tried manually assigning a different template file by using the BBPress shortcode on a specific page (created in wordpress) and then choosing a different template, but that option appears to get ignored, which is somewhat frustrating. I’m going to start a new thread for this issue, unless someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong.

[Jordi2000]

Hi there,

I want to install the Biziness template from http://www.spyka.net/phpbb3-styles.

I created a directory called “my-templates” inside my bbPress root directory.

I uploaded the entire businesslike/ folder to the my-templates folder.

Still the Biziness template is not visible in WordPress.

Cannot activate it.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

Jo

I use bbpress as a part of buddyperss.

I have a general problem in buddypress that slugs of groups and forum topics that are non unicode are throwing the user back to home page.

The bbpress forum topic in the buddypress installation make the slug out of the sanitized subject/title,and because of my general slug problem I cannot create a topic with a non Unicode title.

I tried to solve it in many ways and didn’t get anywhere.

My question is – what I need to change in the bbpress files that will save topic in the DB with the forum topic id as the slug and not the title,or can I use some sort of a filter or hook to do that?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Done! – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1582

[John James Jacoby]

Explain? All of my installs have wp-content located outside of the WordPress install directory, so I don’t believe this to be entirely accurate.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Done! – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1581

[John James Jacoby]

@anmari – At the risk of sounding defensive (which I’m not trying to be) please assume we develop everything with WP_DEBUG on, and anything that pops up is an oversight, not a lack of knowledge or ability. You can create trac tickets at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org to outline the steps to trigger the notices. Thanks!

@ashfame – Ticket please. Thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

Agreed. Add a ticket on trac?

I have tried the plugin for a while now. I have ported a big PHP-Fusion installation to bbPress.

I have two comments so far:

1. There’s something “funny” about the reply post type. I have written this issue regarding it: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/replies-sometimes-link-to-weird-content

2. The RSS feeds are also clunky as far as I can tell. Here’s my experience: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-feed-in-bbpress-plugin-doesnt-work

I also had an issue with the search, but since I just wanted a sitewide search, i just implemented Google CSE, and it’s working great for me.

I’m all for adding more settings, anytime rather that than having to punch a bunch of stuff into the functions.php

But to sum up, it’s already a lot better than what I have used for the past couple of years with PHP-Fusion.
