bbPress and WordPress users can be sync’d without too much hassle.

Sadly I don’t know the answers to the SMF question, but Paul Hawke has been working on an import to bbPress feature, i think it’s in this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-data-from-system-xy

That would certainly be my first port of call.

As much as I like bbPress, I’d also strongly advise thinking long and hard before moving to it. It’s feature list is limited at best, and right now Automattic can’t even get the theme fo this website right. AS long as it meets your criteria then Awesome, but definately look into this first

I was considering moving from SMF to bbPress and I was wondering if users can be imported from SMF to bbPress…

Also is there any way to move content?

And will bbPress users be synced with WP users?

Another fun bug:

The Homepage lists the most recent topics, but for some reason has decided to work out it’s own pagination. It thinks this thread has 15 pages as an example. The issue is that the links to pages 4 to 15 actually work, but just don’t show any posts so it looks like its an error…

Thank you Sam.

Hi!

I want to automatically login if I logged in before, so if I logged in my wordpress site, I automatically login to the bbPress site, and if I logged in bbPress site, I automatically login to my wordpress site.

Anybody help me please!

Hi, I started a new website in WordPress, with BBPress forum, and I want to see the pages links anywhere (http://veteran.blogja.net , you see the links in top, and I want to see the links anywhere in http://veteran.blogja.net/bbpress).

Is anybody know how to paste my links to the bbpress forum?

Thanx!

Hi. I started creating my new website since May. 22, but I now have a very long list with problems.

So I have wanted to set the language in my WordPress > BBPress forum, but I couldn’t change it.

I installed the BBPress and I copy the language files (my-languages/hu_HU/trunk, tags, branches | trunk’s have 2 files (hu_HU.so/.mo), tags have a directory (0.9.0.6) and the directory’s have two files (hu_HU.so/.mo).

I changed the bb-config file – define( ‘BB_LANG’, ” ); -> define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘hu_HU’ ); -, but it’s does NOT changed language to hungarian language, so I’m sad now.

Please anybody tell me, khm: write me: How to change the language?!

Thank’s!

Hi,

On the site I am developing there is a desire to allow the generation of a new topic in bbPress.

The site has been written in pmWiki and has access to the bbPress database (for user login)

As I see it there are 2 options but I’m not sure which would work best if at all.

1. simply edit the bbPress topics database table and add the relevant fields.

(would that be sufficient for the new topic to be displayed correctly ?)

2. fake a submission of the postform using bb-post.php

?_wp_http_referer=some_page_on_my_site

&topic=new_topic_title

&post_content=some_content

&tags-input=tag_list

&forum-id=2

&postformsub=Send Post

(will bb-post.php simply block this method ?)

Hi I have a few website domains for country specific content and I would like them all to share the same forum.

At the moment they are all hosted on the same wordpress site with different themes to differentiate but I notice that the BBPress software sends all the links back to the original URL I registered with…

Can I change this…

Simple example

http://www.lazygamer.net/forum

and

http://www.lazygamer.co.za/forum

go to the same site but all the links have .co.za in them when I want them to have whichever domain I came from instead

I am using wordpress-mu-2.9.2 and bbpress-1.0.2.

Has anyone implemented this successfully?

please help me to include wpmu sidebar in bbpress template.

Hi Kevin,

I followed these steps, but was unable to fix the problem that way. However, I got around it by changing the bbPress Database Table prefix (in bb-config.php) from

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

to

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_1’;

Problem solved! Hope that helps someone who has the same issue. Thanks, @chrishajer and @kevinjohngallagher.

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.

Kev

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’ !

[Ivaylo Draganov]

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?

[Damien]

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
