[The 12th Doctor]

Im using the simple-avatars-upload plugin on my WP site, and i was wondering if it was possible to be able to show those avatars on my bbPress forum? Basically link them across?

Im using latest WP 313 and latest version 1 of bbPress.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi, I also have a wordpress blog site. I’d like to put a “message board”-style Forums page on the site. Is this possible with bbPress? If so, how do I do it? I’m unclear how you get from the Installation to use on a WordPress page.

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Wanguard is helpful. That said, I have migrated over to BBpress, which has the same issues with registration: NO ADMIN CONTROL!!

I tried it with myself and i lost my data. But I think their should be some alternative method to change it. So any one have this method then please tell me too.

Hello,

I’m looking for a swedish translation of the bbPress 2.0 plugin. I’ve seen people here with swedish translations of bbPress 1.0, so I thought I’d ask if anybody are sitting on a translation for 2.0 before I start translating it on my own.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to change from bbPress 2 to bbPress 1 without losing data etc?

FYI I just got a bit more info from the user that was having this problem. Turns out it is NOT a forum error and is a WordPress specific error. He only gets it when commenting in the WP section of my site.

That’s one “downside” of sorts with the integrated forum plugin… users can’t tell what’s WordPress and what’s bbPress, if they aren’t real familiar with both.

@JJJ – Will the plugin update be available via the WP plugin panel? Just want to make sure I am looking in the correct place.

Sorry, i’ve just seen that the bbPress forums can be disabled from the component setup page. This allows the forum links to work again but i’m still not able to get the BuddyPress links to work.

Could I ask why we need to turn off the bbPress support – is it just designed for the standalone bbPress install?

[GoBangAshley]

If I go to BuddyPress / Forums / Use an existing bbPress installation, it says:

Existing bbPress Installation

BuddyPress can make use of your existing bbPress install. Just provide the location of your bb-config.php file, and BuddyPress will do the rest.

Do I just ignore this?

How do I turn off the forums, do I have to do something additional to ignoring this setup page?

Thanks

Ashley

This is how I start a custom loop for a WordPress loop:

<br />

<?php $custom_posts = new WP_Query(); ?><br />

<?php $custom_posts->query('post_type=post&category=Uncategorized&order=ASC'); ?><br />

<?php while ($custom_posts->have_posts()) : $custom_posts->the_post(); ?><br />

<div class="project"><br />

<a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a><br />

<h2><a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><br />

<p><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'rw_services', true);  ?></p><br />

</div><br />

<?php endwhile; ?><br />

How to start a custom loop in bbpress 2.0, For example, topics from a certain forum or category? (and even show the reply count?)

Hi a have wordpress website http://www.smile.mk/ and i need to install bbpress, is there any step by step guide for this.

Thanks

I recently looked at bbpress.org for the first time in a while and was excited to see the progress on the plugin.

I run a bbPress install that has thousands of signed in members and receives about 500k pageviews per month (1,000+ new topics, 18,000+ posts). It ain’t no Facebook, but with WP deep integration it requires a beefy dedicated server to keep it running smoothly.

I was wondering whether bbPress 2.0 was designed with something like this (or larger) in mind, or whether it is more for small forum use only.

The reason I ask is because I notice that (1) all topics/replies will go into the same db table and (2) some things that were denormalised in bb_posts/bb_topics for performance are no longer denormalised in the plugin. For the latter I’m thinking of the number of replies per topic, the last poster in a topic, etc.

It seems that the queries to build paginated topic lists might involve some quite complex joins over very large tables as a result. Is this the case, or am I missing some aspect of the design?

I know that the WP engine handles all of this for blogs, but blogs (even on wordpress.com, where each individual blog has its own post table) do not typically scale to 1000s of posts per day.

Bottom line, will bbPress 2.0 be advisable for larger installs? Or is that still a job for the standalone version?

Thanks.

Don’t install the forums that come with BuddyPress. You already have forums installed by way of using bbPress 2.0. Delete the bb-config.php file in the root of your install, and turn of bp-forums.

[GoBangAshley]

I’ve installed BuddyPress and the BP Compatibility theme pack, it’s added the top menu to my site but none of the links work (redirect to homepage) and my bbPress links are affected in the same way.

In the theme setup instructions, it had me

1. create a new dir /wp-content/themes/bbp-twentyten/ and move the 6 template dirs there

2. create a bb-config.php file and put it in the root

Permalinks for other WP pages are still working fine.

Have I run into a common problem? I’ve only worked on a few WP sites in the past and don’t really know the debugging process.

[John James Jacoby]

BuddyPress. Turn off the other components you don’t need.

[GoBangAshley]

The error I get is:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in /wh_b/……./WWW/wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20

[GoBangAshley]

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?

Thanks

Ashley

@JJJ – Thanks. I will look for the update this morning and see if that fixes things.

[januzi]

Another symptom is that in the topic there are something wrong with posts order. For some reason latest post goes to the top of the list.

It really would be nice to see all the queries fired up by the bbpress.

[John James Jacoby]

@cib – Some fixes in Beta 3 might fix that issue for you. Will be available tomorrow morning.

Hi, Is there any way to replace the Last Poster with the nice_username on the home page of bbpress forum.
