I only get that in a specific case, I don’t know if it’s related:
How do you make a "Private" forum visible to some WordPress classes?
JJJ? Any ideas?
i can use wordpress to use this forum. my site is coded from scratch. except for the forums. i use phpbb. i like the layout sequence of this forum and wanted to use it. but i can probably just edit the phpbb code myself to get the results i want.
spambots on an official site promoting a service rubs me the wrong way and is a turn off
PS: I’m thinking of having it check for youtube links that are not inside the shortcode, also. But I’ll get to that when I can be bothered.
I’m using bbPress plugin for WP. When I’m logged in, I have no problem seeing topics in my forum. But if I log out, I can still see the topics listed in the forum, but if I click on one, I get the 404 error, and there’s no place to log in. I’ve had some visitors to the site tell me they get the same results. What am I doing wrong? I’m running the very latest WP version (3.2).

My post toolbar plugin handles youtube by way of shortcode [youtube]link[/youtube].

I also will have the same problem when I upgrade my site in that the old posts will just be links to the video, rather than embedding them. Personally I don’t see a problem here though 
Anyone know where to find a plugin that automatically embeds videos based on their links?
ie. Post a youtube URL and bam it’s automatically embedded for you?
On the old standalone bbPress 1.x this one was great: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/
I cannot find anything like it for use with bbPress 2.0
Thank you!
guys and gals….
bbpress is dope, im sure we all agree!
i want your oppinions… what do you think is the best combination or best way to build this if i have:
– a gaming blog == http://vglounge.com
– want to build a good forum that integrates well
i was thinking this (all criticism welcome):
– standalone forum (http://forum.vglounge.com)
– i wanted to do something similar to this forum, including the avatar look.
– i also wanted to connect the buddypress and possibly have facebook connect
what do you guys think?
thanks

i was afraid that would be the answer! thanks Tom
Ok I see, just read something which solved my problem..
“BuddyPress allows you to install a forked version of bbPress. It is not the same as this bbPress.”
I was getting stumped on the fact the integrated version didnt have admin menus like the standalone bbpress does..

BuddyPress is not compatible with the bbPress plugin yet. (You can BuddyPress and bbPress perfectly alongside eachother though, just disable the forum components of BuddyPress).
A new version of BuddyPress is coming out soon (JJJ said so, that’s why they’re working on buddypress.org this week) and I think that one will be compatible with the plugin.

Hey pcgs51,
Having a similar issue, I installed Buddypress and opted for forum integration with bbpress but also askes for bb config file path which I haven’t got? any clues? Thanks

I didn’t test these myself, but in the bbp-core-shortcodes.php file (of RC1 from the trac) it states the following shortcodes:
[bbp-login][
[bbp-register]
[bbp-lost-pass]
So those might work.
is there a shortcode for user registration and login?
I run a combination of bbPress & Buddypress and this worked for me, I did put the following code in functions.php:
function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {
if (is_bbpress()) {
$sidebars_widgets = array(false);
remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
}
return $sidebars_widgets;
}
add_filter( ‘sidebars_widgets’, ‘disable_all_widgets’, 1, 1);
This removed all widgets aside from the user login, but that’s quite handy to be present at the forum pages. I put that on top of the forums with CSS.
@ dobralog: If you followed the link in Andre’s post you’ll have the latest version. Any changes made go (more or less) directly into trac.
Is there planned releasing bbpress 2.0 RC2? Because RC1 have been released over a week ago, so i think that some progress fixing the bugs have been made
Hi again 
I have remedied a part of this by making a new page template for the page that shows bbpress.
http://www.sithinquisitors.com/sith-inquisitor-forums/
My problem now is that all other pages apart from the forum main page wont use the template page I have made and revert back to the three column default template of the site. Such as http://www.sithinquisitors.com/old-republic-forum/class-discussion/
Is there something that I am missing to get this to work? thanks!
@derpdiddy – I have no affiliation with bbPress other than being a user of the software. I have not coded a single line or made any other contribution other than trying to answer some of the questions on the forums so developers like JJJ can spend their time responding to the more complicated questions.
That being said, I would like to help you, but something in your responses is rubbing me the wrong way. In order to help you I need to know if you currently are or are willing to use WordPress on the site you want to convert from phpBB.
This forum need a Thanks button!
Thank you Erlend

Maybe it’ll be different in the future, but right now you can achieve that by creating a sub-blog called forum at forum.mysite.mydomain, then you install bbPress 2.0, network enable it and enable it on the ‘forum’ blog. Just find/make a really minimalistic theme if you want to focus on the forum itself. With a little bit of tweaking you could pretty much do away with all the Blog/CMS elements and be left with just a clean forum.
