Over the last few weeks, I’ve experienced the same problem with spammers on one of the forums I’ve set up. Akismet hasn’t worked, no-spam-user hasn’t worked, recaptcha hasn’t worked. Anyone have any success blocking this new generation of spambots? (I love bbpress but seeing the same spam here is disheartening.)

Dude, you screw me over with the new changes, can we have functions.php be bbp_functions.php, and author.php be bbp_author.php. Here is why, I’m hacking my way into the plugin by placing the pages in my theme then adjusting the CSS, since the new pages would overwrite my theme pages, it doest work. I know this is not your anyones priority, I will totally understand if this request doesn’t happen.

Great job guys, happy holidays.

It’s fairly easy to do

check the style.css in the included twentyten child theme and you’ll see this:

/**

* Theme Name: bbPress - Twenty Ten

* Theme URI: http://bbpress.org

* Description: Adds bbPress forums to Twenty Ten theme

* Author: The bbPress Community

* Version: 0.1

* Template: twentyten

* Tags: bbpress, black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style

*/

The template denotes another available theme that you are making this the child of. If you include the main style sheet, you don’t need to re-reference everything. eg. @import url("../twentyten/style.css");

So create a new theme directory by including that, and copy all the other files(ie not style.css) from plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten (not forgetting to rename the Theme name)

However you might want to copy in the default style, this start’s with:

/* bbPress Style

*/

Then you need to check where the get_header(), get_sidebar() & get_footer() are in your parent theme.

If they are in this order:

get_header();

/* Content */

get_sidebar();

get_footer();

you don’t have to do anything.

However if they are in a different order you may need to adjust, currently they reside in the following files:

page-bbp_form.php

author.php

taxonomy-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_reply.php

single-bbp_forum.php

page-bbp_topics.php

page-bbp_front.php

and I think that is all that’s needed! (untested though)

I have been waiting for a WP forum plug-in for so long, I don’t mind working with page templates to be one of the early adopters. If short code support comes later, then that would be icing on the cake.

I do hope, at some point, detailed information is available on how to build the bbPress pages for other themes. As long as this documentation is avaialble, I don’t think this should be a deal breaker for anybody.

Thanks!

when you install bbpress, it will ask you for the database name, username, and password. If for example you had shared hosting and multiple domains hosted out of the same public_html directory, it would be easy just to specify the same database for several installs.

Not sure how bbpress would then handle the sessions in terms of logging in and out; there may be some more setting you would need to adjust.

Where? In the codes or when you install bbpress?

I’ve cross-posted this on the BuddyPress forum. Moderators are free to close this thread so discussion happens in one place, but I figured there should be a notice on this domain as well.

@jjj

Any thought of combining the bbpress twenty ten theme you are developing with twenty ten for buddypress that Andrea is working on? That would be ideal for me, and I assume several others, because we are planning on using both plugins.

Anyone else having a problem with New Replies not bumping their Topic to the top of the list in a Forum?

I’m a nub, I want 5 different bbpress install but user will only need to sign-in once. My site links to different bbpress forums, I don’t want the user to keep having to sign-up for each forums.

Use one database.

Also, what is a RSS feed?

I’ve just updated my WordPress blog from version 2.0 to 3.0.1 and subsequently upgraded BBPress from version 0.8.3 to the latest release (1.0.2?). However, now all the users of the forum are displaying as inactive on the front end despite the fact that they have a ‘member’ role when viewed through the admin panel.

I suspect this is related to the fact that the users are shared between WordPress and BBPress – in WordPress they have no role.

The problem is that there are 45000 subscribers so to change these manually will take quite some time. I think I’m also right in saying that users in WordPress with no role don’t have any meta values so I’m not sure this can be addressed by finding and replacing anything in the database.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really don’t want to have to assign these users roles by going through 30 at a time in the WordPress admin screens!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Weird, thanks 3sixty. I had recently readded the plugin and forgot to reset that. It works fine now. Originally i had set 900 as the character limit but i updated the plugin and it was restored to the default 300.

Can I assume those links are at the end of a long signature? The signature plugin has character and line limits. I suspect you’re hitting the max length and max lines limits. Go to your admin panel and change the limits to something very long.

All of the theme ideas are things that can be possible, but as a first pass to get something usable it has a child theme of twentyten. It will have it’s own theme that can be used as a parent, and I love the shortcode idea but it will be rather difficult to customize in the long run, since try would be hard coded inside the plugin and not part of a customizable theme.

I’ve just upgraded my site from using an ancient 2.0 release of WordPress to 3.0.1 and this seems to have caused havoc with the BBPress integration. By disabling plugins I seem to have reinstated the forums so they can be viewed but I can’t seem to login to the forums – I’m guessing for some reason they’re not seeing or sharing the WordPress 3.0.1 cookie.

Any suggestions? I’ve had though about updating to the latest release of BBPress but when I try and upgrade the database it seems to time out. We’ve got quite a bit of data in the DB. Some of the DB tables are huge so I guess this could be why.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
