I’m trying to do the same thing and I see others are too. Someday some nice person will probably write up a great step-by-step guide as to how to use this plugin (bbPress) after it’s installed and activated. If you guys ever see anything like this, come back and post a link, will you? I will, too. Right now I’m scouring the internet.

[sovery]

I definitely do not see any area anywhere in WP that says “bbPress integration.” Hm.

[Thomas Clausen]

First off, I’m sorry to start a new thread here. I commented on one here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/about-search-field-in-bbpress-20-beta-3 but unfortunately it got closed, so I can’t comment on it.

John James Jacoby told me:

This has been covered in these forums a few times already, which may or may not be an indicator of how little the search functionality gets used.

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

But since I actually commented on a thread regarding the issue, it should tell John, that I actually did a search, and I had actually sought for about 30 minutes before writing the question. And a googlesearch also shows me, that it’s the only place linking to the tracticket: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

Having said that. When I paste the code it just generates an error and the code in the trac ticket should be this instead:

function my_add_bbp_to_search( $post_type ) {

$post_type['exclude_from_search'] = false;



return $post_type;

}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

Unfortunately I haven’t figured how to solve these two issues:

– have pages in search results (I always only get one page shown)

– show both forumposts and blogposts in search results.

So any thoughts on these issues would be great.

Looks like nofollow is automatically added since bbPress 1.0.3? Is there a way to add links now that aren’t tagged with nofollow?

[sovery]

OK, I created a regular ole WP page and put the shortcode for showing the forum index in that regular ole WP page. Hit publish. I can see it. Great!

Is there a way to get it so it doesn’t have the WP sidebar and looks more like a forum usually looks? Not like it’s inside WordPress, in other words? I am thinking this may be where implementing “forum themes” comes in? If you have a link explaining this, I’d sure love to see it. Thank you so much, again, for taking a moment to help the clueless.

One thing I notice, too, is that there are references everywhere to the “bbPress admin” area and I only see an area in WP’s normal “settings” area and it doesn’t have anything like “bbPress integration” or any options like that. ?? I do see a message on my WP dashboard, “Theme does NOT natively support bbPress.”

[sovery]

Thank you! I am going to try that RIGHT NOW!

Thanks so much for your reply.

[pimarts]

Did you try making a page and putting one of the shortcodes in there?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

[sovery]

I second this request. Just installed bbPress 2.0 on a WP 2.3.1 site and see no clues as to how to implement it after “activating” it in the plugin area. I was able to create a new forum but how the heck do you put in into WP? on a page (create a page for it)? or?

Help? Thank you so much!

The plugin version of bbpress is integrated with WordPress out of the box, so you could give that a try?

Shame they are not comparable, Should we should keep separate hosting for Word press and bbPress.

I was looking to commission these together with a membership plugin.

Is it possible with paid professional help or not worth the effort and I should look at another system?

Thanks

@suziwilson – Unless a post has been deleted, you did not say you went to /wp-admin, your post says you went to /bb-press.

Do you have FTP access to your site? If so, delete the bbpress plugin and see if you can access your WP admin.

[Suzi Wilson]

As I previously explained… when I enter http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/ I do not get my admin panel. And please don’t patronize me by telling me I have to fill in my site name where sitename is in the URL.

Help is appreciated.

Check wp-config.php for any lines that define a $wp-> object setting.

They will break wordpress 3.1 or higher and give a $wp->add_query_var error.

For example:

$wp->cookiedomain = '.example.com';

Will work in 3.0 and below but break WP 3.1 and 3.2

You’ll have to research for the replacement define setting as an alternative to $wp->

For example, the modern replacement for the above line is

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,'.example.com');

bbPress = a forum plugin.

BuddyPress = a community plugin.

Your admin panel is at: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/

[kizinko]

Ideally a user would be able to log in to buddypress and also be logged into the forum. All users (logged in or not) would have access to the forum. I would just add it as a tab in the main navigation of the site.

[Suzi Wilson]

I’ve seen a thread on going to http://www.yoursite.com/bb-press but then subsequent comments about the fact that you have to login first as administrator before you can use this entry method.

So, I’ve installed bbPress and BuddyPress (still not sure what the heck the difference is). But, I do not know how to access my admin panel.

Sounds like a stupid question, but the plugin has no documentation on the matter that I could find.

Thank you

[master5o1]

I would suggest that this meta-key could be a start somewhere.

$custom_title = bb_get_usermeta($user->ID, 'bbpress_title');

I have successfully installed the bbPress 2.0 plugin on a WordPress 2.3.1 site. I can see the Forums, Topics, etc. on the admin menus, and I have created a forum. However, when I try to view the forum using the provided link (http://server.tld/forums/forum/family-talk/) or just trying to use the http://server.tld/forums URL, results in a not-found condition. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

PS – I did a few forums searches. I agree with the guy who said a quick how-to would be very useful! (What to do after install…)
