I think that these are no longer published. September 15 bbPress comes as an additional part of WordPress with plugin.

Seems like we finally run out of tickets: candidate release date?

Hi All,

I’m new to bbpress and wordpress. I installed both on Plesk with mysql and php. I configured Cookies and Salt settings and both share same db. however, when I login to wordpress as a subscriber, I logged out of bbpress as a member. However, I can login to both site using same user id and password but when I login to one, I get logged out from the other. I’m really confused!! Please help!!

[cyberskier]

Thanks for the suggestions. (Yes, you see phpBB there – I wanted to see if it was a bbpress issue or a server issue. I moved bbpress over from the forum directory to the bbpress directory – still the same problem, although phpbb installed fine).

It looks like it was the permissions issue- I changed the bbpress directory and the bb-admin directory to 755, and the install.php file to 644, and the installer came up! I’m off to see if it works now.

Thanks again for your help!

one of the sitemap pluggins i tried needs to be configured in the php, they’re not as straigthforward as the wordpress one so i can imagine lots of people having problems in setting them up, but i had no problems untill i activated the nicer permalinks pluggin

one of them needs another pluggin to work properly and some people might not notice it in the description (2nd one in the screenshot), im using the bbpress sitemap generator (1st one in the screenshot)

heres the screenshot

Hi mr_pelle

i tried both sitemap pluggins here on bbpress.org without the nicer permalinks pluggin and the sitemap is ok.

[mr_pelle]

Hi Ricardo!

“Recent” users comments from bbPress Sitemap Generator plugin page say:

This plugin does not work with bbpress 1.02

Tried everything… Still didn’t work.

This plugin horrible slows down the forum performance

I cannot get this work

This really needs an update!

I strongly suggest you to use another sitemap generator plugin first; if you still will experience problems, please post here the list of the plugins you’re using and the bbPress version you’re on, and I’ll try to help.

i got it. The problem was that I was trying to istall through the wordpress plugin folder, then activate in the admin. DUH

Now that I know it is a stand alone, the vague instructions make more sense.

Thanks for your help.

[Ricardo]

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

https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

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

[cyberskier]

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.

This was something similar recently:

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?

[caseystubbs]

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
