If you already have installed WordPress, you’re probably better off using the plugin that you can easily install from the admin pages of your site.

Go to Plugins / Add New and search for bbPress.

As for uploading something, use a FTP client like Filezilla.

I think WanGuard is the only one that works with the plugin, didn’t test it though, but it claims it does.

Aside from that none of them will work, because the plugin is totally different on the inside.

As for restricting users, try the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock. That seems to work pretty well, although I have a problem with that one too (just posted about it in a different topic).

Thanks for your information.

I am trying to install them for the plugin. Does that therefore mean none of the plugins on this site will work on my wordpress plugin version? If so, is there any way of adding the restrict user and remove post functionality?

[Malfunction]

Are you trying to install the plugins for this site in combination with the bbPress plugin or with the standalone edition?

The plugins on this site are for the standalone edition, not for the plugin, so that could be the problem.

[catlawsonNHS]

When i try to install the following plugin – Restrict registration for bbPress (2.0.3) i get a fatal error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/restrict-registration-for-bbpress/restrict-registration.php on line 149

I have had this with every plugin I have tried to install from this site and am beginning to wonder if it is a server issue. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks

did you understand how template files are called? the index page of the forum is front-page.php?

[Alessio Lo Vecchio]

you have to include bbpress template files in wp-content/themes/yourwptheme

Hi John,

You’re exactly right. I updated my Word Press after writing you and doing my changes and low and behold, the two functions that were missing are now in place. Thanks for commenting.

@dehicks – Incorrect. is_post_type_archive() is new in 3.1 and not deprecated at all.

[dehicks]

Ok. I did come up with a solution. Apparently is_post_type_archive has been deprecated and the current function is is_archive().

So I substituted the is_archive for each error I got (about four instants) the initial error and it seems to process ok.

The original function and the new function are located in wp-includes/query.php.

sorry but i dont understand a thing, template files have different name from 1.0 to 2.0?

i’ve now installed the 2.0 plugin version just for test, but under the docs section of this site there are named template files which i cant find in bbp-twentyten theme.

For example front-page.php is deprecated?

now do we have to use page-front-forums?

someone can help?

p.s. sorry for my bad english

p.s.2 i’m a good wordpress theme developer

Hi John,

I’m having the same problem. Was wondering if you figured it out.

I’ve set up BBPress and configured it for integration with my Word Press Blog.

Then installed the plugin in WP. Now I’m getting the same error and can’t access my website.

Here’s the error text

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_post_type_archive() in /home2/premarit/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common_template.php on line 90.

I’ve tried locating this function is-post-type-archive but have not yet found it.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I’m adding bbPress 2.0 beta 3 to a WordPress site. It seems to work pretty well, except that it says on my profile “You are not currently subscribed to any topics.” even though I am subscribed to two topics. The same goes for Favorite forums and Topics Created.

I checked the code and it seems that bbp_get_user_topics_started(), bbp_get_user_subscriptions() and bbp_get_user_favorites() are all returning false. I’m logged in as the user with ID 2 and these rows are in the usermeta table:

37 2 _bbp_favorites 54,56

41 2 _bbp_subscriptions 56,61

That suggests that favorizing and subscribing works, but there seems to be a bug in bbp_get_user_subscriptions(), bbp_get_user_topics_started() and bbp_get_user_favorites().

In the file bbp-user-functions.php the function bbp_get_user_favorites on line 193 return array(2) { [0]=> string(2) “54” [1]=> string(2) “56” } but bbp_has_topics() on line 197 return false. I guess the same happens in bbp_get_user_subscriptions() so the problem should be in the function bbp_has_topics().

I’m not enough of a WP-expert to dive into bbp_has_topics(), which is why I’m posting here. Do you know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

[sithinquisitor]

Hi,

I have installed bbpress on my wordpress site:

http://www.sithinquisitors.com/sith-inquisitor-forums/

The problem I have is that my sites theme has 3 columns meaning the forum is squashed, I was wondering if there was a way to stop the 2 columns on the right (that contain showing whilst viewing the forum.

Thanks in advance.

[neontrauma]

Hi,

is there a possibility to add BBCode to bbPress 2.0?

The plugin “BBCode Lite for BuddyPress” is written for bbPress 1.x and doesn’t work when put into wp-content/plugins.

Thanks,

Exactly the same…

[fleetadmiral]

I’m using Avatar Upload with the Misty Morning theme and that theme seems to work best with avatars not much bigger than 50×50 pixels.

Trouble is, the user data I have imported from an old bbPress install seems to have existing users’ avatar sizes embedded somewhere – so that even the default avatar is coming up for existing users as 100×100 as it was on the old site. New users seem to be OK and working as Avatar Upload intended.

Is there anywhere in the database I can find this old avatar data and any way I can delete/change it?

[johan.ruda]

@JJJ Ahaa! Then I get it. Would be good to break them up at some point, yeah. It’s a bit unclear at this point.

About the freshness tho. It seems to be working okay now when someone makes a new post or topic, but the older stuff is still buggy.

They are imported from the standalone version of bbPress if that makes any difference to you.

[UG-Ltd.de]

For security reasons there should be a way to restrict or limit failed login attempts. Because now bbpress also shows when username or password or both was/ were wrong. So hacking a profile is simpler than it should be.

Is there a way, maybe in template files to limit the possible attempts? Maybe three failed logins per hour – or something like this.

Thank you!

A converter for phpbb3 is in progress. Here’s a link to the ticket for it. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547

[agriz]

Hi,

I want to convert my phpbb3 to bbpress. I am getting lot of spamming there. Is there any conversion?

I have about 1000 members there. I want to keep that members and posts without any loss.

Thanks
