i’ll make bbpress forum for my blog,,,
Hi
I am relatively new to wordpress and bbpress and I am trying to install a forum onto one single page in my wordpress blog.
I installed BBpress but now when I try to visit my sie it takes me to my BBpress log in (please see http://www.the8lossplan.com)
I did not want my whole blog to be a forum, have I put the files in the wrong folder or is there something else I have done wrong?!
Please help – for a university project I absolutely have to finish tonight 
Thanks!!
If anyone knows how to set this up for me I’m happy to give them my details to help set up?
I am using GoDaddy as my webhosting.
hallo there. I’m having trouble finding a way to get soundcloud embeds working within the bbpress that comes with buddypress. While the soundcloud plugin makes it straightforward to embed the players into standard wordpress posts, it isn’t recognised by bbpress. Has anybody had an experience of getting soundcloud embeds working in bbpress?
Ah, of course. Thanks Gautam.
Shocking news… No official annoucement, no changelog, 1.0.3 milestone (11 months late!!) still open, an installation-blocker bug still open (for MySQL 5.5 users only).. WTF?!
Thank you _ck_ for the sticky! If I were looking at my feeds from TRAC I’d be still thinking 1.0.3 was just a dream…

Well… maybe not the “proper” answer but by hacking together the bits of single-reply that check to see if you’re logged in, with single-topic.php, I was able to get it to do a login check on the actual topics themselves too. So everything appears to be fine. If anyone knows of any nasty surprises I could encounter by this approach, please do let me know.

@ricardouk you should also not delete bb-config.php – there is no need to use a new copy of it, especially between minor version updates
@pbul2004 to avoid lots of spam you need a registration captcha plugin or “Human Test” and optionally askismet
Unfortunately there is no documentation on what the improvements between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 were, there still isn’t even an official release announcement which is why I made one.
You’d have to read the notes from TRAC which unfortunately have been made a mess by changing all the file mime property types, even on unchanged files.

Uh oh… I think I just ran into a nasty issue that has taken me very much by surprise.
I have my forum set up and plan for it to be private, for members only. No problem, I just set the status of each forum to “private” and all is good right?
Well the trouble is, the forums are private but the individual TOPICS themselves are not! Anyone would be able to bookmark or otherwise share any post made in the forum, bypassing the hierarchy of Forum -> Sub-forum -> Topic
So, how do I go about making the actual topics themselves also private?
Thanks!

After several years of running bbPress on a forum, today a member pointed out that when they’re logged in and make a post, their member status is shown as “inactive” even though they are clearly active and to everyone else, they are labeled a Member.
This was the first report of this issue, but sure enough others, including moderators, noticed it today when we checked.
We’re running bbPress 1.0.2 integration with WP 3.1. We recently switched from WP Super Cache to W3 Total Cache so have been wondering if somehow that introduced the bug.
After googling around for awhile, the only thing I found about the issue was this old post on the BuddyPress forums of all things that says this is a known bug in bbPress: http://bit.ly/i0RlpS
Is that true? Is their anything we can do to fix this so users don’t get confused that they’re suddenly “inactive”?
do you guys think that it wil gona work on window xp???

Can anyone advise me where exactly to add the code for a paypal donate button if I wan it to show on my main bbpress page? I appreciate it. Thanks.
Any word if this version will play better with login integration on WordPress?

Really had a great time playing with bbpress again to create http://wannaverb.com – a discussion site to help connect people with similar interests, allow them to post activities and see who else would be interesting in attending that movie, going for weekly walks our heading to the pub. It’s just about ready to go live, just thought it deserved to be posted here before anywhere else.
In bbpress.php, topics and replies have 'revisions', as one of their features. Comment out those two lines.

here’s how i done it (1.0.2 to 1.0.3):
1- backup the bb-config.php or write down the database name, user and password.
2- delete “bb-admin”, “bb-includes” and “bb-templates” folders and all the single files from the bbpress root directory with the exception of “.htacess”
3- download bbpress, extract the contents to a folder, rename bb-config-sample.php to bb.config.php and edit it with the details from step 1.
4- send everything from that folder to your bbpress root directory clicking yes if your ftp program asks to overwrite files on the server.
it worked for me but i not using pluggins that allow visitors to upload files or images

Will upgrading help with the 100’s of spam posts im getting on my forum? I have had to take it off line!?
So i just download the new bbpress zip file and replace all the contents on my ftp? And my theme files wont be affected?
Do my theme files need to be updated as well?
Thanks

Upgrade the same way you upgrade wordpress.
You can install the new version over the old copy, just don’t delete anything.
Just make sure your template directory is not the same as bbpress default (kakumei) which you seem to be using “mytheme” so that’s fine.
