Nice find.

Kevin Ryman, is that your site?

[gerikg]

I’m willing to help, send me your requests to my email my user name at gmail.com

-I am only willing to help if you have the WordPress theme with you.

-It will be easier if I do it on your hosting for better results, I will need your ftp info and admin access.

-Your host must be using php5 (integrations works better that way)

-Starting from scratch is better, if that is not possible make sure your site is user integrated already

-I do my best to everything to match your WP theme.

-If your WP theme has a sidebar I will incorporate that.

-I will not customize your theme to look a certain way. Moving things around, removing or adding features etc etc.

-Not all WP themes are able to convert, please understand this.

Thankfully, i came up with a cunning solution.

It’s a new thing some of the kids are using, called Google. I know, it might never catch on, but it’s worth a shot…

New bbPress Theme: Black-Letterhead

http://ulyssesonline.com/blackletterhead/

BBPress Theme

Now it appears that the theme has been removed entirely, but i’d suggest contacting the Author via his website. It’s a 2 year old theme that really just changes a few colours, so they’ve probably just forgotten about it.

That said, the theme has been updated for WordPress so there is every chance that the code you need has just been rolled into one.

Either way, it’s a good place to start

Good Luck

Hi Berwalsh,

I think you’ll need to give us a bit more info on how you want to use software to fill your needs.

bbPress is great at certain things, and we can give a more accurate answer once we have more info.

Take Care

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yes

Just remember that users set tags, and users are notoriously useless.

Especially if your forum / blog is not aimed at technical people (who have, to a certain degree, become used to the idea of tags for cross pollination).

[gerikg]

arpowers, great video but what about the wordpress integration setting in the bbpress?

Without steering into a different topic

Kevin Ryman, The theme look always depends on the WP theme. Sometimes the WP theme is too complex for it to work. Is there a specific theme you are looking for maybe I can help?

hello Chrishajer,

I didn’t changed any themes recently.The only change I did was my hosting provider.I changed my hosting provider from yahoo small business (paid hosting) to 000webhost(free hosting).I also changed my mail server to Google Apps by changing MX records.I uploaded entire website to 000webhost’s FTP server which I had downloaded from my yahoo FTP server and imported database of my website with yahoo to 000webhost.

After this change my website was working good for few days but suddenly it started showing this error.I tried replacing functions.bb-template.php file which is giving error with a fresh copy of it from BbPress original setup but in vain..

please help.

increase the amount of letters

thanks.

[chrishajer]

Forum could not be created!

Not sure yet why it happens, but this seemed to be a workable solution.

[gerikg]

I don’t think a forum works for you as communicating to the parents privately. Unless you make the forum members only and make all the parents register. It’s a great tool to show the parents the curriculum though.

[gerikg]

Do you want to increase the size of the box or increase the amount of letters you can put?

[vimcortez]

Thanks, I finally chaned an advanced option and was able to login. Yet the install did not go through properly and I don’t have any specifics as to what went wrong. I received an email saying my forum was up and running but when connecting get a 404 ‘not found’ error.

Here’s the log for the install (I replaced personal/sensitive data with “****”:

I don’t see what went wrong?

Hi

I’m trying to install bbpress on my website and getting no joy. I put the uncompressed bbpress folder at the root (www) folder of my website. Problem is, the bbpress installer won’t accept the database login info I enter.

Maybe I’m doing it wrong? I’m using the same database as for wordpress, as creating an additional databse cost money with my provider (ovh).

I’d appreciate any help.

VC

[chrishajer]

I guess no one uses it like that.

So what sort of features would you need for parent communication? Who would they be communicating with?

[gerikg]

and I don’t know what it means… I don’t code.

[gerikg]

I’m working on it but I can’t get the admin bar to show in bbpress.

I keep getting:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'bp_core_admin_bar_css' was given in /homepages/0/00/htdocs/wpbpbbp/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php  on line 339

I want the same as the relevant posts plugin does but also for the forum.

If the blogpost in WP has the same tags as a forum topic i want to show the links on the blogpost with relevant forum posts.

Can this be done?

[chrishajer]

Hmm, can’t seem to find it anywhere:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress-theme-black-letterhead

All the themes from that site, not listed in the directory listing:

http://www.bbpressthemes.net/download/

I wonder if anyone using it will share the download?

[chrishajer]

Did you change anything recently? How long was it fine, and when did it break? Was it ever OK?

It looks like bbPress is trying to include some template file and failing to do that? Did you change themes recently?

[chrishajer]

That screenshot shows that you already modified the database table?

[chengdu-living]

chrishajer – is it easy to get ‘subscribe to topic’ working with bbPress 1.02? Or is the next release expected to be soon? Thanks!

[kevinjohngallagher]

This is fairly simple to do, but you have to define exactly what you want it to do.

i.e. Are you looking for forum topics that include any of the Tags in the blog post? This means that there will be no ordering or weighting on relavancy.

This line of WP code will help you on your way too:

$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

[56alifar]

anyone?
