You could answer both, did you just install bbpress or try to integrate it with WP?
Hello
title says it all, I created my forum and now I’d like it to show in one of the pages of my WordPress site. Is that possible?
thanks
vim
Maybe I wasn’t clear – basically I have a script that I wrote myself that I have put in header.php so that it gets loaded on every page. However, this script needs the jquery script to load as well or it won’t work. BBPress has jquery built-in but it only loads it on certain pages. I wanted to see what defines where the jquery script that is built into BBpress is called…
But I can use this technique to do the same thing, just the opposite way around, so thanks for the help! I did it like this:
<?php if ( in_array( bb_get_location(), array( 'login-page', 'register-page' ) ) ) echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js'></script>n"; ?>
I tried to use bb_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); in there but couldn’t get that to work!
Are you suggesting that I do a fresh install of bbPress, or are you asking me if this is a fresh install?
I wanted to use a simple jquery script that I could implement around the forum when I wanted to toggle the visibility of sections of text (eg: hide and show some help information). I assumed I could use this wherever I wanted but it seems that bbpress only loads jquery on certain pages. It loads up for topics but not on pages such as login.php (where I was hoping to use said script).
Can anyone shed some light on where and when and why jquery is loaded? And how could I get it to load up for the login.php page as well? (rather than simply putting the jquery call in header.php, which would mean it gets called twice for some pages!)
I looked through a load of bb-includes but didn’t get too far!
For everyone having trouble with special characters in forum names and descriptions,
FIND (on or around lines 193 and 194 of the original script)
$forum_name = $row;
$forum_desc = $row;
CHANGE TO (adding the addslashes() function)
$forum_name = addslashes($row);
$forum_desc = addslashes($row);
And that should resolve most of the complaints I’ve seen here about the conversion failing.
I am following the install instructions and got through the installation successfully. Then I tried to log in to mysite/bbpress/bb-admin/ and mysite/bbpress/bb-admin/admin.php and it keeps sending me back to mysite/bbpress, although it shows that I am logged in. In fact, I logged out and logged back in just to make sure that I was logged in correctly. I still just go to the “home” page of the forum.
What am I doing wrong?
i-badhani is 100% correct.
My needs have been met by plugins, for the most part, but I am in dire straits when it comes to themes.
I am not able to code fluently, so I hack away at existing themes. Finally found one I like but it is not compatible with IE6 (which some people still use)…
Would LOVE to have an easily tweaked bbpress theme similar to THESIS for WP.
Saving that, an easily-tweaked theme, period.

The first one is not avatars (those are for people) – you want topic icons, like gerikg linked you to.
None of the user integration steps should of messed with bbpcore functions. I know if you tried to do deep integration, which wasn’t in those steps that could of made the forums disappear.
actually, i’m using it for build a portal so it just for internal office use so there’s no link for outsider who wanna look. 
i’m using IIS not apache…is there any relation with that? I guess not
ouw, and when i did step #3 and #4, the last 3 didn’t lock as it should be…even i repeated again…
huff…almost frustrating just for this..
Hello,
We’ve been using bbPress for a couple of weeks now, and have been getting a couple dozen automated accounts each day. Now it appears they are coming alive adding spam posts to the forums.
We’re using the instant-password plugin because we don’t want our users to have to wait for e-mail, and I personally despise captcha (see http://www.stopcaptcha.com).
After cleaning out the bot accounts, here is what we did to stop it:
Our registration page: http://www.checkfront.com/community/register.php
Using CSS, we hid the occupation and interest fields (don’t need them). Spam bots will often fill out all the forum fields on a page. If a new registration comes in with one of those filled, we discard it.
We also added a hidden field (potpan) that gets filled with a unique id generated on each page load via javascript. If the potpan id doesn’t match the one in the session, we discard it.
Since we put it in place yesterday, it’s blocked all 35 automated registrations.
If anyone is using the instant-password plug in and would like the modified code, let me know and will zip it up. Perhaps this functionality could make its way into the standard registration.
Cheers,
-J
What version of bbPress are you using?
Give me a link to your site
the last time i remember i follow the instruction from u gerikg (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work)…
i always clear my cache everytime i wanna use my application…
yeah if i login from bbpress i can login to both admin…but, is there a way which i can login from WP first???
and why my post on BP won’t show up??
There is no separation between WP users and users in Pods. Pods is a plugin built ontop of the WP framework. It creates custom tables which are scuplted to fit the exact specifications of the content developed with Pods.
I don’t know much about Pods, but how does this handle things like wordpress-bbpress integration? Is there user integration?
Actually, it looks like bb_topic_labels prints both of them on my install… but I’m on 0.9.x:
<div class="posttitle"><?php echo $sticky_label;?><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?><a>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a> <span class="postinfo"> by <?php $topic_author = get_topic_author(); ?> <a>topic_poster ) )) ?>"><?php echo($topic_author) ?></a> <?php echo get_topic_start_time(); ?> ago</div>
There are some known bugs with Support Forum and 1.0… do you see an error like this one?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/support-forum/page/3/#post-1565
If so, there’s a fix posted at that link I believe!
Or if you don’t see an error like that, please let us know exactly what behavior you see when you activate the plugin and then close a topic and change its status using Support Forum. Thanks!
I have a long-standing habit of using subversion for WordPress and bbPress updates. There are some added features in the trunk that I like, but I wonder if it’s safe to update to the trunk at this point. A look at the tickets seems to indicate that it would be relatively ok.
Anyone have experiences using trunk?
I’m a big fan of fluid theme designs. People used to care about screens with different resolutions, but it seems like everyone has forgotten about their HTML design now. I guess the defaults with bbPress and WordPress don’t help the concept much.
What I really care about are themes with ads that also say you’re not allowed to take them off.
