Making a subdomain is the exact same process. It has nothing to do with bbPress and everything to do with your WordPress Network configuration. It’s all neatly laid out in the codex. This is for advanced users though.

If you just want the sub-domain for cosmetic reasons (i.e. it just looks tidier) that’s not really good enough reason to set up a network site. You have to realize that enabling Network comes with a lot of implications on how you can use and extend your WordPress site. For example, only a small percentage of the plugins in the WordPress repository have been tested and made to work in a Network environment.

@Andre Nah man! that’s not good enough! As JJJ said it will fixed on alpha release for multisites and will be better!

Hi JJJ…

Can we use bbPress plugins on bb2.0 b3 plugin?

[pimarts]

No there isn’t. Not yet at least.

The plugins on this site are for bbpress 1.x

You can use the following link to find some plugins for bbpress 2.x (not all of the returned results will work though, so check them first if they’re actually for the 2.x plugin):

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress&sort=new

The top of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547, where it currently says Ticket #1547 (new enhancement), will change to Ticket #1547 (closed).

With the number of people waiting for this, including myself, I expect it to be pretty easy to tell when it’s ready.

@alexvorn2 – You can make it work with a subdomain now. Create the forum.site.com subdomain. Next create a page, title it “Forum” or whatever you like. Put “[bbp-forum-index]” including the brackets as the content of the page and publish it.

Then go to Settings -> Reading in the Admin panel. Change the “Front Page Displays” option to page and select “Forum” or whatever you named the page. An example is at http://forum.ajorel.com.

Hi everyone

I think it is very confusing when trying to identify which bbpress plugins are for bbpress 1.x and which are for the new bbpress 2.x …

Is there a place where we can find plugins ONLY for bbpress 2 ?

Thank you

[macmullet]

I converted from standalone BBPress to BBPress 2.0 as a plugin and made a page with the forum topics as my home page. None of the paging links at the top of the page work. Click any number and it only pulls back the first page.

http://jawsmovie.com/?paged=2

is the same as

http://jawsmovie.com/?paged=54

etc.

I tried changing permalinks and if I do anything other than the default setting, I get 404 errors.

Any ideas?

[Alexandru Vornicescu]

can you please make the plugin to work from a subdomain? for exapmple my blog site is site.com, an the forum url to be forum.site.com

[pimarts]

If you ask when bbPress 2.0 will be released, your post will be deleted. The answer will always be the same with every version: As soon as it’s ready.

Hi,

I’m not expert in BBPress. I like to build my new forum in BBPrss 2.0. In BBPrees 2.0, the functions are different from BBPrees 1X. Where I can find the function references like http://codex.wordpress.org/

Please give me the link.

New here!

I got all the way through installation last week and testing of bbpress within a protected WordPress site, and love the forum – I so appreciate the simplicity and ease of the thing, esp. for someone who has little experience with this sort of thing.

My only issue at this point is that once anyone is logged in and posts a reply or new topic, the updated reply/topic displays fine UNTIL returning to the main forum page at which point it is necessary to log out and then log back in to actually see the updates. Again, I’m so pleased with the forum itself, but this may be the thing that keeps my boss from letting the forum go live

WP version is 3.1.4 and I’m using the forum as my home page of the blog. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks so much!

[Jon Breitenbucher]

I’d like to be able to implement the same threaded behavior that comments have with forum topics.

I’m willing to try to develop a plugin since JJJ indicated this wouldn’t be in core, but I am not sure where to start looking.

I’d suggest looking at using bbPress 2.0 within WordPress. bbPress 2.0 is pre-release now, but was expected to be gold when WP 3.2 came out. WP 3.2 was released on Monday, but I haven’t seen an update for bbPress 2.0. The standalone version (1.x) of bbPress is expected the same time bbPress 2.0 is released, but I haven’t followed the progress of that version.

A phpbb3 to bbPress 2.0 converter is in the works. The ticket for it is https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547. I’m guessing work on it will pick up once bbPress 2.0 goes gold. My understanding is the converter will keep usernames, passwords, and threads, but I don’t know about mail.

You will be able to fully customize the theme using either version of bbPress. Since I’d recommend using bbPress 2.0 inside WordPress, the relevant instructions are for creating WP themes (https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development) and adding bbPress compatibility (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility).

The Akismet antispam plugin is not running here. I’d suggest installing it as you develop your own solution because you may find it meets your needs.

Hi pimarts,

Thank you for the info!

I’ve tried this plugin, and it works perfectly.

Cheers.

[pimarts]

There’s another fix, but it’s not preferred if you ask me:

Put this in your CSS:

<br />

.bbPress #sidebar {<br />

display:none;<br />

}<br />

This hides the sidebar from view in the browser, the code will be loaded anyway though (that’s why I don’t prefer it).

Edit/update:

Oh and then you ofcourse need to make the left area wider too, I think it will be something like this according to your code:

.bbPress #left-area {

width: 875px; /* change that 875 to whatever width you want/need */

}

[zetroxos]

I just tried your code, but it did not work for me.

Did you search? (and try this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-columns-on-forum-pages)

Hello

I want to place my bbpress forum in wide page (without sidebar)

How to do that?
