Marius,

With all due respect, if you dont know how to make this simple CSS fix, this isn’t the place for you to get help. The issue you’re having isn’t with BBpress.

I’d strongly suggest that you try one of the CSS websites and play around with your theme to achieve your desired goal. You’ll stumble upon the answer quicker than us explaining the basics of web design step by step

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Marius,

These really aren’t BBpress questions mate, and you’d have alot more success going to a CSS website. That said, I’ll try and help.

Your issue has nothing to do with the footer, as it doens’t have any background associated with it. Your image of Michael Jackson is associated with your div with the id of WRAPPER. Your theme, for some reason, has not put the footer inside the wrapper. There is no white block hiding your image when you scroll the bottom, the DIV it’s assocaited with simply stops. Just move your footer inside your wrapper and you’ll fix it

[Marius-]

Am I going to have to remove the footer completely then? And dont give BBpress its well deserved credit?

I have looked through the entire style.css and theres nothing making that background white.

I thought maybe it was local, so I have looked through footer.php, and frontpage.php, and still nothing. Why is the bottom of my page white?

I’m admin / it’s my own site and can not save attachments. The restrictions are default

And even when i set them all (except for delete) to “read” it still doesn’t work, all is in order / folders are 777 and so on. Deactivated / Reactivated plugin no go for me

I can see 2 attachments here – http://www.cell-systems.net/forums/topic/enzyme-11-beta/page/3#post-1224 but they cannot be downloaded. That might be because of server restrictions or check bb-attachments.php for those who can download attachments.

I hope Andy sticks with BuddyPress. That project is getting a lot of love right now and I think that should continue. John James Jacoby also develops for BuddyPress.

Even this version gives me the same problems that i had with _CK_’s 0.27

I can not save attachments to my desktop / and some even fail to open at all.

Hi,

It’s work now !

– I’have installed plugin for wordpress: It’s only a config generator? We could delete it after modify wp-config.php with cookie path variable?

– I have installed bbPress into the same db of wordpress

Thanks.

BuddyPress has a lead developer – Andy Peatling:

http://apeatling.wordpress.com/about-me/

bbPress does not have a lead developer right now. Automattic founder and bbPress creator Matt Mullenweg ( http://ma.tt/ ) was hosting weekly bbPress chats and jamming out a few features along with another Automattic dev, but that stopped a while ago and we haven’t heard from Matt since.

It’s not likely that Andy is going to switch tracks and work on bbPress… he’s pretty focused on BuddyPress, and it has an ambitious product map that should keep him busy!

Maybe Matt will come back to us after his schedule clears up… we’ll find out soon enough!

Hi to all,

I think that Automattic works increasingly on BuddyPress before developing on bbPress at the moment – yesterday has appeared the Second Release Candidate of BuddyPress 1.2.

The Trac shows BuddyPress 1.2 no longer in the originally planned schedule, but the official release will be soon.

I can imagine that after publication of BuddyPress 1.2 the work will be focused at bbPress again. Automattic hopes for the big success of a Single Installation of WordPress (2.9.1/3.0) together with BudyPress as social network module.

Then – as we can hope – bbPress is the third component that will be integrated.

Greetings

Markus

I thought the legend was BBpress was created from a mad session of coding over a weekend. If this is the case why not have another mad weekend session of coding and get BBpress into a plugin with the top 10 plugins as part of the core.

[grassrootspa]

Here’s a little bad news re: BuddyPress (well for me anyway):

I asked Andy (one of the lead developers of BuddyPress) and there will probably never be a proper out-of-the-box way to have multiple bbPress installs integrated with a single BuddyPress install (unless of course someone develops a plugin to do so independent of BuddyPress’s standard release)

Looks like it will be one bbPress install paired with one BuddyPress install integration wise.

For most folks this is not a major deal but I personally didn’t like this. I was excited about the idea of tons of bbPress forums integrated together (same user database) working properly with one BuddyPress install. oh well.

The sticking point? The ‘activity stream’ is tricky when it comes to showing bbPress forum activity. I got the multiple bbPress installs working in the sense that they all shared the same user databases but the ‘activity stream’ didn’t want to show the forum activity on the various independent bbPress installs.

The thing I dislike the most about BuddyPress is how the ‘activity stream’ is in relation to ‘Groups’ and, you guessed it, bbPress. Still having a dog of a time getting these things to work together with a NORMAL one-to-one BuddyPress bbPress integration!!!

“If you want forum software with a plugin architecture, bbPress is currently the only game in town. “

You have answered my question, I am back to bbPress because basically that is what I want and need.

We have now come full circle.

[johnhiler]

BuddyPress is a series of plugins on top of WordPress MU… I don’t think that’s going to change. In fact, that sounds like the new plan for bbPress: to become a plugin on top of WordPress MU.

In terms of BuddyPress versus bbPress: BuddyPress actually uses bbPress code to power its forums. So using BuddyPress isn’t exactly walking away from bbPress… bbPress comes standard with a BuddyPress install!

In terms of what you use to power your sites, it’s probably best to choose your software solution based on your needs. If you want a social network with blogs thrown on top, BuddyPress is a good bet. If you want forum software with a plugin architecture, bbPress is currently the only game in town.

@chrishajer @johnhiler @all

Then that may be the direction I should go in. It seems to be what all the buzz is about lately. I saw a presentation at wordcamp and was really impressed except at that time it was only for WPMU.

[chrishajer]

I don’t think anyone but you can answer the first one.

BuddyPress does have a good forum, as far as I’ve heard. You can learn more about how bbPress was integrated with Buddypress in this IRC log:

https://bbpress.org/blog/2009/12/2009-12-09-meetup/

You can ask Andy directly about forums in BuddyPress too:

http://twitter.com/apeatling

Or John James Jacoby:

http://twitter.com/johnjamesjacoby

He was active here for a while and then became a dev for BuddyPress. He would be a good one to ask about the energy required.

[johnhiler]

BuddyPress has great forum software built in… it uses bbPress.

https://buddypress.org/about

[tonicarr]

The question(s) is … Is bbPress worth the energy? Is BuddyPress the alternative? Does BuddyPress have a good forum?

[chrishajer]

Try this:

Sounds like cookie integration is not complete.

[grassrootspa]

@tonicarr:

Haha, we must have been separated at birth!

RE: development activity and attention, your twitter remarks say it all. I know bbPress isn’t going to ‘die’ but it’s just so stagnant right now compared to BuddyPress and WordPress. It’s night and day.

Yeah, they are merging WP and WPMU. Smart idea in my humble opinion.

[chrishajer]

@tonicarr, what question are you asking that was unanswered?

[tonicarr]

@ grassrootspa and @all

I think you hit the nail on the head with BuddyPress, I have been asking that question and no one will comment. I don’t know much about it but there is a lot of energy swarming around BuddyPress. Go to twitter and checkout #BuddyPress, something new all the time, then check #bbpress and practically nothing. I think BuddyPress may be the way to go but I don’t know much about the forum aspect of it. From what I understand it is not longer only for WPMU.

@chengdu living – Try this!

I use it on a lot of my sites, and it’s excellent!

[lapommecroquee]

Hi,

I have a small problem

Situation: I have a WordPress 2.9.1 installed / and bbPress 1.0.2 installed /forums/ of my website.

Problem: When I’m logging on the WP Admin and I go after to bbPress admin I’m redirected to /forums and not /forums/bb-admin/ but I’m connected to bbPress…

But if I do the opposite: I’m logging to the bbPress admin and go to the WP Admin all it’s work.

Have you an idea?

Thanks a lot for your help

[grassrootspa]

@all:

I don’t know how else to say this: I’m losing interest in bbPress.

Wondering how easy BuddyPress is to pickup…
