to get to admin just click on Admin (top) or add bb-admin/ to your forum url.

http://www.mydomain.com/forums/bb-admin/

replace mydomain.com

by your forum url

2- Upload the uncompressed files to your server

to vague for a newbie, when i first used a ftp program years ago to install wordpress i thougt “so many directories…where on heart i’m supposed to put wordpress?”

it takes times to learn…

[jtdesigns02]

Thanks. I thought it was a wordpress plugin. Does it have its own admin or can you run it through wordpress?

[zaerl]

bbPress is not a WordPress plugin but it’s a standalone software.

I do not see a clear step by step list of instructions on how to do this. Anyone?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/ on this site.

[Ricardo]

you have to upload the bbpress folder to the server root where the wp-config.php file is along with all 3 wordpress directories, upload it there and then visit

http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress

[jtdesigns02]

Where do I place the bbpress folder after I download.

I thought it would go into the plugins folder within my current wordpress install. Nothing is showing up inside wrodpress admin. Please help.

Do I have to go to a unique URL to active something. http://www.example/com/blog/wp-content/plugins/”example”

I do not see a clear step by step list of instructions on how to do this. Anyone?

I have never used bbpress before and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Thank you for the replies.

Here is a Filezilla screenshot showing my WordPress root directory (also the root directory of my site), with the subdirectory “forum” being the directory with the bbpress files:

http://klinewedding.com/images/wp_root.jpg

And here is what my forum (bbpress) directory looks like:

http://klinewedding.com/images/bbpress_install.jpg

Here are my WordPress permalink settings:

http://klinewedding.com/images/permalink_settings.jpg

And here is my .htacess file:

http://klinewedding.com/images/htaccess.jpg

The odd thing is that I got BBPress up and running a few weeks ago on another site (on another host) just fine. I figure it’s got to be that I’m doing something stupid, or this host has something strange with their settings.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello.

Thank you for the suggestion, I wish I could but I cannot afford one now, or in the near future for that matter. The reasons are too complicated to explain here.

Anyway, I’m using this plugin with my wordpress site, and since I really like it, I would like to fit it into my website. I hope that I’m not too old for this, since I’ve never done anything like it before.

So, if there’s anyone out there with some suggestions (or some reading material) I would appreciate it.

I use iblogpro forum with iblogpro wordpress, i deep integrated wordpress and bbpress but i don’t share user between wp and bb ’cause i don’t alow any kind on coments on site or wp registration, i have separate databases for wp and bb, and everything works fine, but when i try to register like a new user i allways get “Email is required” but every time I input correct mail example name@gmail.com?

Thanks

Voy a probarlo en estos días. ¡Muchas gracias!

[cyberskier]

I’m trying to install bbpress at a test site, klinewedding.com.

– I uncompress the files

– I then upload the files to my root directory, in a folder “forum” (so the files are at klinewedding.com/forum

I can’t get any further. When I navigate to http://klinewedding.com/forum, I get a 404 error. It is as if my site isn’t seeing any of the uploaded files.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Evan

I don’t know why my this topic is closed without any reason.

@Moderators: Did I say something wrong?

@_ck_ I think this plugin is for only comments?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/

I need simple math captcha plugin for wordpress registration form, like Human Test for bbPress.

If you are not interested then other developers are welcome here and their help would be appreciated.

But if someone else wants to convert it they are more than welcome.

If anyone else want this plugin please ask in this topic.

I’m hoping this topic will not be closed if any Mod don’t like it.

Thanks,

Hi everyone!

Ive been playing with some forum software/scripts and i would like to ask the bbpress/wordpress coummunity some questions/opinions on this.

I’ve tested bbpress and so far i can see its a very lightweight forum system, it integrates nicely with wordpress, it doesnt have many functions the competition has but in my opinion most of them are really not needed and make the forum heavy on server resources.

Having said this here’s the questions?

1- Spammers – How’s the protection/management on this, is there a way of bulk deleting spammers or keeping them “at bay”?

2- Translation – i’ve been trying to translate bbpress but the info on how to do it is mostly wordpress as the process is very similar…so i looked in to online translation tools but none of them have bbpress as a project…not even Glotpress itself…i know there are desktop tools but for example i tried poedit and i only want to translate what the user sees not the admin panel, but it seems i have to copy every line to the translated section…there isnt a method to copy all strings and then edit the ones i want, i would take me a while doing it one by one and my professional life doesnt allow me, im sure more are interested in this and adding bbpress to glotpress would be a good idea as “everyone” could “chip in”.

3- search engines – some of the traffic to forums are made by search engines but unlike the competition bbpress doesnt have a method to manage them, the last forum script i tried was mybb and it has a whole section dedicated to bots and their permissions. Can this be overcomed in bbpress with a simple sitemap? the way i see it a sitemap only has urls not the content… if i keep the forum readble to everyone will the sitemap be enough, the way i see it the bot finds the url in the sitemap and then crawls the pages for content, i think this is enough.

4- Besides bbpress what other forum scripts would you recommend, personnaly mybb and fluxbb caught my eye and seem very lightweight, also i noticed the wp-foum pluggin as been forked into the WP Forum Server, one of the things i like on a forum is the ability to have a name based permalink like wordpress and bbpress, i find this feature very usefull as people can see by the words on the url (hovering mouse above link) what the link is about.

I know its a lot of questions but any info even if little is apreciated.

Thanks

Don’t take it personally – akismet screws up dozens of posts here each week, seemingly at random. It either doesn’t like your IP or email address or some weird combo of keywords. It’s also probably why you had so much trouble registering.

At least you spoke up, imagine how many other people have tried to post here and gave up in vain and wrote off bbpress entirely.

This is why I tell people not to use akismet but human-test/blocklist instead and rely on mods to look for bad posts.

[_ck_]

They must be getting blocked by akismet.

Yup, I just had to rescue their new topic.

Hello everyone.

I just uploaded the Bavatars plugin for my bbPress forum. I uploaded it to the my-plugins directory, as instructed. But when I tried to activate the plugin, I got the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/content/b/r/a/brandonreptile/html/forum/my-plugins/bavatars/bavatars-wp.php on line 28

I searched the support forum for a similar thread on this particular error, but couldn’t find anything.

Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for bringing this up _CK_

I tried 3 times with different nicks and emails (over 3 weeks) and no luck, i’m using my wordpress.org forum account to post here, also i didnt find any contact to report the situation, why not a forum where everyone can writte or ask for help without registering?

Hi everyone!

I´ve just installed bbpress and the nicer permalink pluggin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/), it works but it kind of messes up the sitemap, ive tried 2 sitemap pluggins and same result

for example the topic url is:

mydomain/forum/mytopic.html

but the sitemap url is:

mydomain/forum//mytopic.html (double // before the individual topic permalink)

Can anyone tell me if im doing something wrong or check if its the pluggin fault?

i deactivated the nicer permalink plugin, added a dummy post to refresh the sitemap and voilá the url is correct without “//”, i guess its the pluggin fault here.

think i might have found something in the nice-filters.php file, altough im no expert it seems the error comes from here, but i think its a fix from someone, so removing the “/” will break something..

function get_forum_nicer_link( $link ) {

global $bb;

// Remove redundant "forum" word from forum link and append '/'. Mandatory! Props: Mohta

return str_replace( $bb->uri . 'forum/', $bb->uri, $link ) . '/';

heres my forum (test) url: http://www.ricardouk.com/forums/

and my sitemap url: http://www.ricardouk.com/forums/sitemap.xml

Thank you

Original post started here: (someone should take a look at the registrations here as i’ve been unable to register, so far i tried 3 times until CK told me i could use the wordpress.org forums account over here)

Hi _ck_

I hope you’ll be fine. I always praise your work that’s why I was really happy when you came back to bbPress.

I know this question is not related to bbPress. But I need your co-operate.

I am looking the Simple Math Captcha Plugin for My WordPress.

Yes there are lot of captcha plugins, like Sabre, Register Plus.

But they are really complicated. I need simple solution, like Human Test for bbPress.

Humble Request: Can You please convert this plugin for WordPress.

I hope, Once again you’ll give me a chance to praise your work.

Thanks, and God Bless You Always and All The Ways.
