i’ve been following the chat on the bbpress plugin thread and altough JJJ said somewhere that it will be possible it reallly doesnt seem (to me) that the plugin is going that way.

wordpress will use one theme and bbpress as a plugin will need its own theme.

@devs

dont read my comments as destructive but i feel as a user the need to voice my opinion, as a user i dont have the “god like” ability to master css/php or port my wordpress theme to a bbpress theme, its like you’re creating a forum plugin and making it difficult to use or integrate visually with wordpress…a forum plugin only for the “code masters”. try and go the simple:press or mingle forum way or have that possibility.

Hey what do you mean by the new bbpress won’t be “theme integration friendly”? I’m looking for a forum that will easily integrate with my wordpress site. I was going to hold out for this new bbpress plugin, but I’m curious to know what you’re talking about. Does that mean it’s going to be difficult to make the new bbpress theme match your existing theme’s look?

I’d say it would be unlikely on WordPress.org for quite some time, but I could be wrong.

[Milan Dinić]

We’re going to be using it on a few community sites soon

What community sites? Are wp.org support forums among them?

@gerikg, thank’s for your pointing that. result my problem about quality bbpress themes.

[hanachristina]

I share many of your concerns. I too have stumbled onto the Mingle Forum plug-in.

I have it installed along with the Mingle plug-in. This turns a WordPress site into a BuddyPress-like site with an extremely short learning curve. I had both installed, tweaked on the code to remove a couple of links that I didn’t want, modified the CSS to make a near perfect style match to my theme, and understood how to configure administrate the forum in about 3 hours.

I am not a code monkey and cannot compare the pros and cons of how Mingle Forums stacks up against the bbPress plug-in or any other solutions. The security vulnerability has also been resoled to my satisfaction.

Before I implement a solution I am more concerned with its support and sustainability. Both plug-ins have have over 50,000 downloads and the Mingle Forum plug-in was last updated 20 days ago. I had one problem/question with the installation and it was answered by the plug-in’s author within hours. Within the last 5 days the Mingle Forum’s author has posted 5 videos instructional videos on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/cartpauj). All indications are that this project is alive and well.

I am going to go live with it this week and plan to use it until another plug-in solution, which is better, becomes available.

the vulnerabilities were on previos versions

Packages/Versions Affected: Confirmed on 1.0.24 and 1.0.26

the plugin is at version 1.0.28 see changelog here

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle-forum/changelog/

why did you give a link saying the vulnerabilities were fixed when you were implying the opposite?

01/07/2011 Plugin maintainer releases update that addresses these

vulnerabilities.

whoever uses older bbpress versions also have that problem

I’ve been out of the BBPress game for a while. How can I sort topics in a forum alphabetically?

[hanachristina]

Now, install BBPress on Godaddy not too dificult, godaddy have new rule on this section.

I did similar work for our church website.

Wordpress theme is based on “P2” and BBpress is basic theme.

I did follow WP+BB integration; user.

Since I am not developer, it took lots of time to adjust css and theme files.

Any advice, welcome.

If you want to see others use the regular bbpress and not the upcoming (under development) bbpress plugin, take a look at this:

I like the look on the main page – list of topics organized. After click through topic with multi reply, thread can look messy.
