I hope to continue releasing bbPress themes on a regular basis.

I like this quote on the about page

WordPress and bbPress are siblings, and they get along together a lot better than you and your brother did when you were kids!

I always thought of bbPress as WordPress’s kid sister.

However the alignment of the about page is wonky because of the background image on Customizable Templates.

Neither is “add your plugin”

It’s also missing the tag cloud.

Hopefully they will test and fixup the plugin section soon!

That patch was just a little challenge for myself.

I keep tabs on bbPress, but can’t really give it much time.

I never thought the bozo feature was very elegant.

Hi Cillian,

sorry, the weekend got away from me a little.

My suggestions are going to seem really really obvious, sorry in advance, but good to check these things out.

1) Did logging in/out work before?

2) What changed since then?

Can you change back to the default themes in bbPress and WordPress and then do the following, noting your server error log along the way (after each step):

3) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

4) Try and login via your bbPress.

5) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

6) Try and login via WordPress

7) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

try and register with bbPress

9) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

10) Register via WordPress.

I know those steps are painful, and a bit pedantic, but cookies are a VERY big pain if they don’t work first time when integrating these two systems (especially if you’re logged in as admin/keymaster at the time of installation/integration). Right now, it appears you’re in the 1% rather than the 99% mate, but lets try and fix that.

Sorry, yep:

PHP version is 5.3.1

bbpress version is 1.0.2

Thanks

I’m not sure how/why including wordpress files would make integration easier (infact I can’t think of quite a few ways it makes them more annoying).

What is it exactly you are trying to do?

have you read teh documentation: https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Wallis,

Could you be so kind as to give us some more information?

bbpress version?

PHP versionon server?

I think this is the bug from the latest version of PHP, but i can’t be sure yet.

Plugins ratin’ doesn’t seem workin’ !

It would be great if you could share some of that unified profile page know-how. I am also planing to build something like that.

I’d give you a piece of design advise for that website – do not use monospace font for body text – it is a pain to read.

I have integrated bbpress with wordpress mu. I want to use wordpress functions in my bbpress pages, especially to include wordpress sidebar in forum pages.

I have included “wp-load.php” in bb-config.php as described here.

http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#functions

but i am getting Fatal error like this

“

Could Not Find Blog!

Searched for [mydomain]/forums/ in mydb::wp_blogs table. Is that right?

“

This considers “forums” as a blog name (“forums” is my bbpress folder). Without including “wp-load.php”, my forum works fine.

What should I do to avoid this and to point to the forum page?

Also, how can I get wordpress sidebar included in forum pages?

I’ve made a clone of a image rating/sharing website working with wordpress, of all things, with a few custom plugins etc… and needing a 100% integrated forum to go with all it bbpress was the obvious choice. I’ve managed to roll it all up so you do everything from a custom wordpress profile page and upload avatars and stuff that can be used sitewide. I never want my users seeing a wordpress or bbpress admin/profile edit page, it must all run with the site’s main theme.

I started again with the theme so it fits the site (it’s very basic, and nothing much is visible to unregistered users) and it’s been fun & frustrating getting things working how I’d like. I guess when bbpress is released as a wp plugin in future I get to bang my head on the desk all over again.

I still have a hell of a lot of things to do anyways. Some of the stuff on the main site is nsfw, so yeah.

here’s the forum inside the wp theme so far http://imgxtc.com/boards/

[chrishajer]

In case anyone is wondering, here is the theme:

http://www.awesomestyles.com/bbpress-themes/view/static-blue-bb

Yes, it would go in front-page.php inside the div where the hot tags are.

Find this: <div id="hottags" role="main">

Put it right BEFORE the closing </div>

That should take care of it

Hi,

How can I allow HTML in my bbpress ? I’ve the 1.0.2 version.

Thank you

Great to see progress there!

Are you back contributing to bbPress? As volunteer or back with Automattic?

With the recount, the sad part is, similar issues exist elsewhere in bbPress.

For example the Bozo plugin attempts to do it’s own recount by first sucking in the entire user id table and then processing them one query at the time. Good luck with that on a large forum! At least the bozo plugin is external now however.

I figured out a workaround for the hyperactive bozo feature by disabling it’s tie to akismet with it’s too many false positives.

instead of checking post status which is not trustworthy

if ( 1 < $bb_post->post_status ) (around line 195)

directly check if the user is a bozo for this topic (or a bozo overall)

if (bb_current_user_is_bozo( $bb_post->topic_id ) )

This prevents akismet from automatically making users into bozos by it’s setting status=2. Instead a user has to be manually set as a bozo for a topic or overall.

Makes the bozo plugin actually useful as akismet’s reliability (radically) decreases.

But since bozo alters queries and prevents them from properly using indexes it’s not a good idea on larger forums anyway.

Just noticed that there’s a new features page! – https://bbpress.org/about/features/

[netgo]

I have just started using BBpress: forum.my-freebie.com and I would like the right place below the tags to be used as a place I can add text and adsense.

How can this be done? I tried “get sidebar” but nothing happened.

New to this so any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

[gerikg]

I understand what you’re saying but I wanted a link just like the front page

where it gives you this: https://bbpress.org/forums/?new=1

[chrishajer]

Also, Noel, this image is missing:

https://bbpress.org/forum-theme/bborg/images/support-forum-icons/support-forum-closed.png

It should appear on the bottom of a topic after the topic is closed. You can see it missing on this page:

Installation doesn't work

Down at the bottom

[chrishajer]

Interesting on the fonts. I have only viewed the forums on Windows and Linux, never Mac. Maybe I have more fonts installed or something (which is entirely possible.)

For the topics started, I have no way to verify, but I have topics started going all the way back to the beginning, so unless the list is missing something in the middle (I have far more replies than topics started) I think it looks OK.

[Gautam Gupta]

BTW, I fixed everything in the clone I made.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Nice one Chris!

Actually the RSS feed is now working well and looking good, so whatever has changed since Monday worked nicely (great to see the patches coming in – you’re doing great lads and lasses).

The small text I’m experiencing appears to be a font issue, given that I don’t have Lucia Grande (its a mac font), Helvetica (again Mac based origianally) or Bitstream (linux). Not to worry, i need to wear my glasses more anyway

As for the “posts started”, who knows, I might have been restrained and only started 13 posts in my 18 months on the forum. It’s not a biggie anyway

Take care dude!

[chrishajer]

1) I can confirm the pagination problem when viewing your own profile: at the bottom of the page only, for me.

viewing this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer/page/4

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/double-pagination.png

2) I could not verify this.

3) Yes, needs work.

4) Did not try to confirm (still have not been able to see the small font you are experiencing.)

5) That is likely from a patch that I committed yesterday. I will have Gautam verify this one.

Thanks Kevin.
