Great to see BBPress as a WordPress Plug-in. It was a real pain trying to integrate WordPress and BBPress user accounts so I gave up.
It would be nice if there was a ‘Show Avatars’ option in settings. I wouldn’t use an external avatar site and, since WordPress users don’t have avatars, it would be good not to show empty boxes everywhere.
Hi,
I have a local version of bbpress running perfectly. However when I uploaded it to my live site it all sort of works except for the when you login to the bb-admin area.
When you login, that page gets stuck in a redirect loop between the login page and the admin page, and you can never access the admin area.
However on my local site you can login perfectly.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
I’ve tried a different browser just incase it’s a cookies/session issue but its not al. Also the data base has been updated with what I think area all the correct urls. Is there something special in the db I’m missing?
Cheers.
Going to http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forums (with an s) will take you to your forum. You can change it at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress.
Hi there,
I would like to know if there is a way to import a forum into a page instead of a post? For example, there is a poll plugin for WordPress that allows you to place a poll in the page using [poll id=”3″] tags.
Is this at all possible with bbPress? I’m using the latest WordPress as well as the latest bbPress plugin.
I feel that if this feature does not already exist, it should be implemented in the next release (Please)
Regards,
@zamoose – Beta 3b normalizes some function names from Beta 2, based on feedback from confused users trying to find the right functions to use. If you previously moved the bbPress bbp-twentyten templates into your custom theme, you’ll need to do that again with Beta 3/3b. No other structural changes are going in before 2.0.
Hello,
I have a website based on WordPress.
And I have installed bbPress.
My aim is to have a single ‘scrolling’ page.
My question is how I can ‘run’ the forum in a <div> ; which will be in my page.php theme of my wordpress website?
Thank you
Installed bbPress 2.0-beta3 plugin this week, things initially seemed to work well, but now the main “Forums” page (http://www.nwcouncil.org/blog/index.php/forums/) doesn’t list any forums. However, the “bbPress Forum List” widget for twentyten theme *does* work.
I have two test forums (see http://www.nwcouncil.org/blog/index.php/forum/eric for example), so each forum and its posts work correctly, but clicking the “Forums” breadcrumb takes you to the blank page above.
I see that the page seems to include content from bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/archive-forum.php, which surprises me because I thought it would use /page-front-forums.php.
The only tweaks I’d made were to uncheck the “Incude the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links” box [also note the typo^ in that checkbox label], and I have WP permalinks set to month/year/postname.
Flummoxed, but liking the plugin in all other aspects.
I will gladly send any other details to whomever can help.
Hi to translate the Forum bbPress WordPress plug-in –
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
download translation (.mo) from here:
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin
and put it here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/bbpress-bg_BG.mo
MAY NOT NEED to set Anywhere (wp-config.php)
define(‘BBLANG’, ‘bg_BG’);
It works for me.
I installed bbpress through wordpress yesterday. I think I have everything installed correctly but I have a problem (so obviously something is wrong). I thought that if I added “forum” to the end of my site address if would show the forums. That basically takes me to a 404 page. But if I go directly to one of the categories it kind shows up. What I mean by that is that it is not a 404 page, but not quite the forums either. Hard to explain. So I will leave it alone for now and just include links to the two places and you can see for yourself and hop hopefully know what is going on.
Just to the “forum”= http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forum
To a category in the forums= http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forum/jokes/
One small fix I did right off the bat:
I moved the css/ and js/ directories into the included bbpress/ one and changed several references to their location in the bbp-twentyten templates. This allows the top-level theme directory be just a bit cleaner, as I know my theme (and many others) already have a css/ or js/ directory. Moving those into the bbpress/ sub-dir improves “clutter” and compartmentalization, IMNSHO.
Does anyone see any problems with this approach that I’m not seeing?
Hi Citizen Keith, that was the plugin that Ricardouk suggested, i’m afraid it doesn’t allow me to restrict messaging to just user <-> admin (don’t want users to be able to message each other)
Has anybody successfully installed bbPress alongside BuddyPress who could help me?
It might be possible to hook into the template loader, see what the request is, and force it to look into a different folder, but there’s no possible way to do it at all with page templates; it’s actually purposely disallowed to prevent the theme from having to scan every file inside every subfolder to find them.
Minor technicality: This is actually technically possible with page templates. It’s just very awkward and involves a lot of side-stepping to achieve it. I looked into this for a project a while ago and came up with a really awkward way of doing it, and Otto came up with a much nicer solution, but both solutions were still pretty awful. Off the top of my head I can’t remember how either worked, but it was indeed possible. There’s a forum thread on WP Tavern about it somewhere – could be difficult to find though.
I’m surprised it didn’t work. The posts etc. should show up just fine I’d have thought, since they’re simply custom post-types which should work fine on multi-site. I’ll try installing it myself tomorrow perhaps and see if I can work out what’s up with it.
This would make managing my forums a lot easier if I can port them all to use multi-site. No more mucking around maintaining separate installs of everything, which I rarely update.
for me that was in subdomains 
Nothing appears at all…
That’s something you would add via your bbPress theme files.
Have you guys been attempting this with subdomains or just folders on your multi-site installs?
This will be darn handy once we can use it on multi-site Actually, it’ll be darn handy before then too, but it’ll be super darn handy once we can use it on multi-site.
Is it possible that your original installation of standalone bbPress is messing things up?
That’s just a spit ball guess. I have minimal experience with BuddyPress and bbPress 2.0.
I’m just wondering if something might be left over and not removed correctly, and hence is interfering.
Have any of you tried importing large/medium sized bbPress 0.9/1.0 forums into bbPress 2.0? If so, did the migration go successfully, or were there a few hiccups in getting the data to port in one chunk?
I attempted to migrate a reasonably big forum this afternoon and it didn’t go particularly well. It threw an error (can’t remember what it said – need to attempt again) and locked me out of WordPress. The automated database backup worked well, so I was able to get it back up and working just fine though.
There’s around 115,000 posts and 44,000 users in the forum I was attempting to migrate.
I agree with you Ryan.
The trouble I am having is that BuddyPress and bbPress will each run happily individually, but when both are running together, the BuddyPress links do not work.
Has anybody managed to get both of them working together?
Is there something simple that I am missing?
I doubt there will ever be a private messaging system specifically for bbPress 2.0. Since it is a WordPress plugin itself, it makes far more sense to make a private messaging plugin for WordPress, rather than bbPress specfically since they would presumably work in exactly the same way.
The BuddyPress route that JJJ suggested above seems like the best option to me. There’s probably a bit of extra junk you need to load in the process, but BuddyPress is a known and well developed product so you at least know it will work well and won’t be riddled with security holes which was a problem with the original bbPress private messaging plugins.
Is there a private messaging plugin for bbPress 2.0 plugin branch?
I’ve just downloaded bbpm and it won’t run, i’m presuming it’s only designed to work with standalone bbPress?
Is there anything else recommended?

@JJJ
Will it become possible to use shortcodes from other plugins for WP?
For example the Polldaddy’s shortcodes for embedding polls and such.
