You could always create a plugin which “hides” certain posts from the forum front-page/forum pages. I don’t think there’s anything available that does that now… the closest I’ve seen is this bb-Pages plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpages/

It was broken for a while, but it looks like someone posted a working version a few months ago:

Good luck!

Update: I seem to have gotten it working, by inserting the following code directly to function bb_safe_redirect within functions.bb-pluggable.php, right before the line checking against $allowed_hosts:

$allowed_redirects = array();

$allowed_redirects[] = 'offsite-feedback-forum.com';

$allowed_redirects[] = 'base-blog-url.com';

$allowed_redirects[] = 'base-blog-url.com/wordpress-installed-directory';

add_filter('allowed_redirect_hosts', 'add_allowed_redirect_hosts');

I originally tried to do this from a plugin, as the code above is copied from a handy WordPress plugin, but I was not able to get it to work without sticking it right within the pluggable.php file. If anybody has a better suggestion, I’d love to avoid editing the core files if possible!

Three quick questions to help scope out the situation.

1) Which versions of bbPress and WordPress did you have working together?

2) What version of WordPress did you upgrade to?

3) Where did your users disappear – just in bbPress, or also in WordPress?

Also – is this your forum?

I’ve gotten BBPress/Wordpress integration working, and now I want to use BBPress to handle all login duties—I would like to make it so that when a user accesses the login link from WordPress, it redirects them back to the page they came from after they log in to BBPress. So, the user will ideally travel:

A page [not logged in] -> BBPress bb_login.php -> Originating Page [logged in]

This is another thread relating to redirection but it seems very outdated, I can’t find the code they reference. Redirection works splendidly whenever you are internal to BBPress, is there any way to have it work when you’re coming from an external wordpress page?

This is kind of a re-post, my first post attempt is being held with an “Array: Voices” status, whatever that means…

Chrishajer, do you think they should update this page: https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

I am working on an ajax function, and currently I write a plugin which gives the last post of the logged-in user.

The post should be displayed using the post.php template of the current theme.

I try to get the last post from the DB as an object, and give it to the bb_post_template() function, like written below, but that doesn’t work.

What should I do?

I have $user = 2 as an example.

$lastpost = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM bbpress_posts WHERE poster_id = ".$user." ORDER BY post_time desc LIMIT 0, 1");



foreach ($lastpost as $bb_post)

{

$id = $bb_post->post_id;

$post = bb_get_post($id);

if($post)

{

bb_post_template();

}

}

I would like to move my forums from ikonboard to bbpress. I am using wordpress so you can understand the reasons, that and ikonboard is no longer supported.

I did a search in google and it said it could be done. what do i need to do to this?

Excellent! This is exactly what I want. I will try this out as we speak…

You change the setting in bbPress: did you also change the name of the folder where it’s installed? They need to be the same (the folder name part anyway.)

Wait, you deleted everything? So where is it now? What URL or folder?

Also, to reinstall completely, you need to drop the database tables and then reinstall. The database is what lets the installer know if you’re already installed or not. So, drop the bbPress tables and try the installation again (assuming there’s no important data in the database yet.)

Hi, I’m building a community website and planning to export the topic list, including the “number of post, last post user, time” column into my WordPress main page.

An example screenshot will look like this :

Please let me know if you know how to do it, or is there any documents that I can refer to. Many thanks

I haven’t use TinyMCE (for comments) with BBvideo. Why not try using BBcode Lite? https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/ It works with BBvideo.

[iphather]

Okay, so I installed bbPress fine, but then I was trying to get my WordPress page to link to my forums. So then long story short, I changed the url settings in bbPress, and now, every time I try to log in, it goes to a page on my wordpress, saying page not found. I can go to my forums, just not the admin page. So I deleted everything and tried to reinstall, and when I hit step 2, it says the “Already installed, Upgrade Script thing,” so i click the link, and it send me back to my page on my wordpress. Is there a file that contains what that url thing should be? Because I haven’t been able to find it. Thanks for any help.

I installed bbvideo on bbpress, but what text should I use to embed it:

tried:

nothing shows, any ideas?

1) Yes, you’ve heard correct that project is almost dead as no development is taking place for weeks. Also, more chances are that it will be converted into a WordPress plugin (but some methods might be made available to transfer your data from the bbPress install to the plugin).

2) bbPress 1.0 was almost a rewrite of 0.9, so a lot of code changed and the plugins became incompatible. _ck_, a major plugin developer and contributor to the project left because the project was not getting attention from months. You can check her website – http://bbshowcase.com

3) Can’t say anything about the timings….

4) That has been reported in #1181

Hi all,

I am in the process of developing a new site (which is currently in beta and not meant for the public yet…) but I have a few concerns…

Website: http://www.diyextra.com

1) Have I chosen the right forum for the project, I keep hearing bbpress is dead or it will not be developed as much when/if it becomes a plugin… Should I be using a larger scale forum package like vbulletin or phpbb ? … My thoughts on the subject originally was to go bbpress as it may tie in well with the CMS side of the site which is controlled by wordpress, I did look in to buddypress but the whole group forum thing is off putting and the fact it is not SEO friendly and the slugs (urls) are way to long… Anyone have any comments or thoughts on this would be great….

2) Plugins – Ok so I understand the forum is very basic in its core state and you add plugins to achieve options you require, but quite a number of plugins I have tried to use seem not to work, Also I have a concern that there will be a limited number of plugins developed for bbpress when/if it becomes a plugin.

3) Here is a bug I have found – maybe its just on my forum… The freshness (time/date) is incorrect a lot of the test posts I have posted on the forum are from weeks and months ago, but yet they are show up as 3 weeks… yes I have heavily modified the templet files but only the html and header/footer locations… any ideas ?

4) RSS – Also I am getting RSS error – “This page contains the following errors: error on line 10 at column 33: Entity ‘raquo’ not defined

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions…

Many Thanks Guys,

Chris

Chrishajer, how can I contact you?

Last I checked it seemed like Matt (the only developer I’ve seen around here) had his hat full with suggestions and left with that, quite some time ago now. I reckon if there is a future for bbPress it’s already set into motion some way or another. If that future is as a plug-in, I don’t worry at all.

WordPress is becoming a whole lot more than a blog these days; in some ways, a whole lot less. Way I see it, I wouldn’t be surprised if by WordPress 3.5 or 4.0, WordPress isn’t really a blog, but a plain extensible web development platform, making the blog functionality yet another ‘plug-in’ (that hovers).

>> Why not just start out with wp? I only ask then because your question gives me the impression that you will only be using one or the other. But on the flip side if you are going to be using both back up and save all your data and down load wp on the your site.

That is the problem that i am not starting right now. I have already built my forums and they are working with my previous website i.e. like a link is given on the previous website. I want to extend the functionality of my website by allowing users to comment on articles etc. and for that I need wordpress kind of thing. If I install wordpress right now, it will require users to register again. All I want is if I install wordpress right now, all the users from the forums be transferred in wordpress as well. With your reply it was not clear that if I just download the wordpress to my site, will it work right away i.e. it will have the similar ‘integration’ page like we observe when we install bbpress on wordpress. Or let’s say if I give the same sql data base name that I am using for bbpress, will it import the users from bbpress?

Thanks

[analytico]

Found a solution. Just provide a First name in the User profile page in the administration panel, save it, and then you will have the option to change the username to your first name.

I an new in bbpress, traying to help my greater daughter to install a forum, and we found the peacemaker bbpress theme, a very interesting 3 columns theme, just we was looking for. But it has not complete the templates files, (register.php and register-sucess.php do not exist) so is not posible a register for the users, and works like a demo site as it just says.

I found an one year old topic about in this forum, but I am not clear if it is the same problem.
