…. I am just not able to understand the integration stuff… it is beyond me… just wanted to make a nice clean forum and thought I did what was required.. but it does not show. I have the details in the admin side bar of wordpress.. but nothing on the page I made… and when I try to add the widgets to the sidebar, I still have no success… please help me!
For 2 days I was banging my head with this problem. Then finally I found this thread. If you have the same problem go to the Forum settings and change the Topic tag slug with something other than tag.
That will do it.
Whether or not an existing WordPress plugin will work with bbPress really is going to depend on what that plugin does and how it’s been developed. Lots of plugins work great out of the box, while others behave strangely not just with bbPress, but any custom post type style plugin.
Plugins for bbPress-plugin and bbpress-standalone are different. I don’t expect too many plugins for bbpress-plugin to show up until it’s out of Beta.
I installed wp-polls plugin, and it functions properly on WordPress posts. The little button in the bbPress topic editor also has the insert-poll button in it – so I tried inserting a wp-poll into a bbPress-plugin topic, but it didn’t work! So I guess this means you really do need a separate poll plugin for the bbPress-Plugin version…?
Hi,
I have the plugin version of bbPress for my WordPress site, and would now like certain forum members to be able to both create and vote on polls within bbPress topics.
So I found the bbPress-Polls plugin, but the installation instructions for it mention a ‘my-plugins’ directory in bbPress file structure. Well, this directory might exist for the bbPress standalone, but I cannot find it in the bbPress Plugin file structure.
Is there a way for the bbPress Plugin to have bbPress-Polls or any other polling/voting that attaches directly to topics (not widgets!)?
I suppose I also have a wider question here too – do all plugin that were developed for the standalone version if bbPress also work for the bbPress-Plugin? If so, is it just a matter of creating a directory or just using a different directory? Is there anything profoundly different to the bbPress plugin?

John removing the bb config file fixed it straight away.

If you ever come to Australia ill buy you a beer.
I’m using the bbpress plugin (Twenty Ten) and would love to know how to make it wider.
For example: http://www.cyclecincy.com/cc/?page_id=71

I’m aware of the search function breaking normal search behaviour, but it’s not a problem in my case. bbPress is sitting in a subdomain and there’s not gonna be any normal blog posts.
As for the topic tags, they should only be limited to the topic post type, you’re right, but when I checked the actual query it turned out that the post, page and attachment post types were being queried, so the above snippet did fix that.
Obviously these are only temporary fixes, but they’ll have to do for now until I find the time to dig deeper.
Your search function is going to break the normal blog search. Topic tags are already limited to the topic post type, so that shouldn’t change anything. And removing the class from the body doesn’t explain why it’s there to begin with. If $wp_query thinks all bbPress pages are 404’s, there’s a bigger problem.
Hi,
Basic stupid newbie question, but I tried looking for an answer and couldn’t find it:
I have done a bbPress installation on this website:
http://pages.usherbrooke.ca/ergea/wp-content/plugins/bbpress
As you see, the forum is outside the root http://pages.usherbrooke.ca/ergea, it’s not integrated to the pages.
And I’ve just installed the new version on this website:
http://www.eefsherbrooke.com/forums/
The thing is, the forum is integrated to my pages.
I think it’s a great possibility, but I’d like my forum to be in a separate page as the one from my first site.
How could I do this?
Thank you very much!!!
Haven’t found the time to look into it in depth yet, so in the meantime I sorted things with these two functions:
/**
* Search only our forums and fix topic tags
* @since 1.0
*/
function click_help_add_to_search( $query )
{
if( $query->is_search )
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'topic', 'reply' ) );
if( ! empty( $query->query_vars['topic-tag'] ) )
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'topic' ) );
return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'click_help_add_to_search' );
/**
* Remove error404 class from the body
* @since 1.0
*/
function click_help_remove_error404( $classes )
{
if( in_array( 'bbPress', $classes ) )
{
$error = array_search( 'error404', $classes );
unset( $classes[$error] );
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'body_class', 'click_help_remove_error404' );
@traveljunkie – Looking into it.
@_ck_ – Thanks. By virtue of WordPress.org Extend we already get a dedicated tag for support questions (which I’m keeping an eye on.) I fear having a specific forum here only calls attention to an issue that doesn’t exist yet. Half of the topics here aren’t in the correct forums anyways.
@JJJ There are already 4300+ downloads of the beta in the past 10 days (because it’s on wordpress.org) and the twitter volume about it has exploded. There is going to be a surge of questions. I’m just suggesting you get ahead of the wave.
If your theme isn’t compatible, there isn’t anything more bbPress can do. You need to talk to the theme author and ask them to update it.
Found out it’s got something to do with my earlier conversion from phpbb to bbpress standalone. But it still got me confused:
All the logins work perfectly after the first conversion (phpbb > bbpress 1.0), but after conversion from 1.0 to 2.0 all the logins block. Only accounts newly created in 1.0 get through in 2.0.
In the database there’s a visible difference between logins from phpbb (start with $H$7) and bbpress 1.0 (start with $P$9). Since there is no login error in bbpress 1.0 I don’t think it’s a problem with the phpbb conversion (used this converter recommended somewhere on this forum).
Can someone give me a hint on how to solve this?

@Textdriven
Most likely it is just a matter of adjusting some css rules, as with the plugin you don’t actually assign page templates to the forums.
*I am assuming you are using the bbpress plugin
