Don’t let the folder I put it in be misleading. I had created a folder for phpBB and then decided to go with bbPress because it was so much simplier. My website is for our homeowner’s association and I don’t expect much traffic so the bbPress was a better choice for me.

I have Windows and can copy and edit it in Notepad but then how do I get it uploaded back to the header.php? Sorry, I’m fairly new to this…. I mean I know how to upload it but will the changes take affect right then or do I need to do something in my file manager?

This plugin used to work just like that for 0.9 I believe:

Hi fellow bbPressers!

I’m wondering whether it’s possible to prevent members from posting to a certain forum.

For example, I would like only Key masters, Admins, and Moderators to be able to post in forum ID-1. So “members” wouldn’t be able to post there. The remainder of the forums would be open to everyone.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks and go bbPress!

Hey

I downloaded bbpress on my localhost/bbpress fine and it comes up with a installation screen.

But if I download it on my linux bo and goto domain.com/bbpress I get no installation screen

and only DB Error: cannot select

I never changed any files only downloaded off this site and extracted in bbpress. I am just not getting that installation screen. Any help please? Is there a manual installation?

[Kevin Ryman]

I know this is an old topic but this theme is available for download at http://www.bbpressthemes.net/genealogias/

You’re welcome, glad I could help.

[chrishajer]

It is in the template folder. If you’re using the default theme, it’s located at bb-templates/kakumei/header.php. If you’re using a custom template, it should be located at my-templates/yourtemplatename/header.php

It’s a template file, not a core bbPress file.

[chrishajer]

I see categories and forums beneath those. Are you seeing what’s in this screenshot?

If you are seeing that, then what is different from what you expected?

@Arturo and etiviti:

Are there any news concerning the forum theme? I see it’s working fine on BuddyPress Italy…

[adaptistration]

God bless Firebug – I’d pay for it in a heartbeat if necessary. What I need bbpress for is to have it function as part of a larger online support and training site so having the sort of ability beyond the most basic of sidebar and integration elements is a necessity.

I’ve been following more of the discussions here and it certainly seems as though the project has yet to rise to the level of project management as that of its parent project. But given how amazing WP is, I hope they are able to bring bbpress up to that level sooner than later.

Even if bringing it to that level meant using it as a commercial add-on just to explore that model, I’d be first in line to buy a license!

[gbmphillips]

So yesterday everything looked great had Categories and topics under those Categories. Now this morning all I am seeing are the latest discussions and no Categories or topics. Not sure what happened.

I was having this problem on my forum so I took out the display name feature.

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-with-basic-command-to-add-new-profile-fields#post-65468

And delete 'display_name' => array(1, __('Display name as')),

[gerikg]

Without getting into another long discussion (please no one chime in), yes it’s disconnected for now.

Good tools that I use is Dreamweaver and firebug for Firefox.

If you have sidebars that just show information is fine. There are sites that I created that just have hottags and Views as a “sidebar”.

I believe a working ugly site is better than a pretty half-working one.

I have changed server

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

problem with

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘user_bbpress’ ); ?

i have underscore in BBDB_USER and i get this error

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

my old server is

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘bbpress’ ); is work!

….

BBpress Latest Discussions (1.7.2) in wordpress could connect this database with Bbpress DB User: user_bbpress

[adaptistration]

Many thanks. this is such deja vu to what WP was like years ago. It seems odd that there’s such a large disconnect between the two.

[gerikg]

everything in BBPRESS folder has to be in FORUM

you have WEBSITE.COM/FORUM/BBPRESS

Hi All.

I’m sure that I’m being a bit of a noob, but can’t seem to work out how to link bbpress forum to my site. What I mean is for a home page link saying ‘forum’ to link to the said forum. I think I said that twice. It can’t be as easy as creating a new page in wp admin, which is what I have done. However, when I click on the ‘forum’ link it gives me this error…..

Index of /forum

Parent Directory

bb-admin/

bb-load.php

bbpress/

Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at forexprogress.com Port 8

If I click on bbpress/ the forum shows up.

See what I mean at forexprogress.com if I’m allowed to add my URL!

Can anyone tell me ( in simple terms) what I need to do – thanks.

John

Hi,

since i have the forum in a different frame of my page, i’d have to add the attribute “target_top” to every link.

The code below is only for target_blank, or would it be possible to replace every “blank” with “top” and have it working?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-nofollow-to-links#post-17523″

And how do you make the code into a plugin? you copy and paste into a text file, save it as *.php and upload the file in the bbpress plugins folder?

Thank you very much, every help is very appreciated!

The Process

[gerikg]

P.S. not all wordpress plugins work on the bbpress side, especially ones that involve user input. example (sidebar login ones)

[gerikg]

“manage the bbpress forum via the same admin login as the primary WP install.”

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-admin/

“…main wp widgetized sidebar”

If you did the deep integration you just have to stick <?php getsidebar() ?;> somewhere in you bbpress theme file then mess with you bbpress css to make it fit.

“..same sort of functionality with editing php and css templates, etc. in bbpress as with WP”

no such thing

I upgraded my bbpress instalation but i have small problem with links for users – i dont have links for users profile in the forum – just name and function but its not links. Where is the function for this ? thank you

Once again, nice video tutorial. Keep them coming!

Here’s a plugin to disable registration:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/howto-disable-registration

[johnhiler]

There’s a nice Mass Delete Users plugin that lets you batch delete members:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/

I’ve used it before, and it’s great!

Just make sure to backup your data first, just to be on the safe side.

I think there are also plugins you can install to disable registration. Let me know if you are interested, and I can try to track one down!

great tut, many thanks!!
