Sorry, i’m confused.

This is simple how? I don’t see “topic title” written there…

Please try and be MORE cryptic and provide LESS information. That makes it so much easier for us to help you, after all, we love coming on here to help people and have to GUESS exactly what it is they want.

Something people always seem to be asking around here… Integrating bbPress to an existing overall page design. In other words, how to create a matching bbPress theme for your site.

We’d love to… anything specific you’d like covered?

There are some members totally furious at each other in my forum. I could use a plugin like this. But according to its comments, several users claims it didnt work YEARS ago. So how does it work now, with bbpress 1.02?

[chrishajer]

That page is requiring a login, so I cannot see it.

You can edit the file locally in Notepad, but after editing, you need to save the file then upload the edited file with an FTP program probably. What did you use to upload bbPress in the first place?

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/

@adaptistration

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.
