I have search the forum and find there is a slolution like this
put following code in to bb-config.php
Code:
require_once(‘path/wp/wp-blog-header.php’);
that I can call wordpress functions in bbpress template
but once I add the line to bb-config.php . The homepage of the forum became a blank page. no html , no error hints, just a blank page
I am sure the path to wp-blog-header.php is correct . I do not know what happend and how to fix .
The wordpress version is 2.91 and the bbpress is 1.02 .
Thank you for your help
I have a unique install (buddypress + bbpress for groups + external bbpress – which are hooked together)
The problem is when posting via the external bbPress the freshness dates are off, as Andy from BP noted they need to be in GMT format.
see ticket
http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1727
I don’t mind hacking the core but what do I need to modify to sync up all my GMT dates.
gerikg, thanks so much for clearing things.
there is 1 problem though, when you login/logout with bbpress everything works, you automatically logged in/logged out to wordpress too.
but when you login or loggout from wordpress it does no effect on bbpress.
Do you have any idea with this issue?
Perhaps that’s implicitly done by activating the plugin itself?
That’s correct. You should be good to go. 
I have also written a short tutorial here on how to do this – http://gaut.am/translating-wordpress-or-bbpress-plugins/
Hello Chrishajer,
I checked php info by above mentioned method.I found no temp folder so I created a folder called “tmp” in root directory.It worked.Now I am able to upload avatars to “avarars” folder in root directory.
But picture is not displayed after uploading.It gives message “Your avatar has been uploaded.” But its not displayed instead a blank box is displayed replacing default avatar.
I checked this error in google chrome by using “inspect element” context menu..the error says: ” 403 Forbidden “
Here is the link to plugin I am using : https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/#post-219
Plz help !!
Paul,
I know this may be really obvious, and apologies if it is, but PHP’s built in functions for handling json are very much release dependant. There was a large change from php5 to php5.2 as i recall.
It’s 5.36am here, so you’ll have to forgive me for the lack of links, but i’d do a little googling into that. At the end of the day you either stats a minimum PHP version, or test for the php version and do and if/else.
OK, I had found that, but that seems to be mostly options. I don’t see anything in there that actually lets me enable/disable signatures. Perhaps that’s implicitly done by activating the plugin itself?
Thanks.
It’s actually under the “Plugins” menu. It should be there in the left-hand column in v1.0.2.
In 0.9.0.6, you’ll need to look under the “Plugins” menu at the top of the page.
Hi –
I think it’s cockpit error on my part, but…I can’t follow the installation instructions. Specifically,
<i>Activate and check under “Site Management” admin submenu for “Signatures”.</i>
Where do I find this “Site Management” submenu?
Is the bbPress Signatures (0.2.0) plugin working with the newest version of bbPress?
Thanks.
I’ve just converted my PHPBB3 forum to BBpress – everything seemed ok at first, the posts have converted and I was logged in and went to the admin panel. All of a sudden I am unable to log in, cannot reset a password and I apparently ‘do not exist’.
It appears that my user list hasn’t converted either as all my posts are labelled as made by anonymous users.
What can I do?
There is nothing like that that I know of for bbPress. You’d have to port that over to bbPress to get identical functionality.
There are a couple Adsense type plugins for bbPress, but they’re not the same.
Thanks for the update Paul, I’m up for some beta testing when your ready
There used to be a plugin that supported this:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-moderators/
But it was never updated from the version supporting bbPress 0.74…
It is an admanagement script.
There is not a way to do that, I don’t think. Typically, people will create a bbPress plugin that does the same thing as the WordPress plugin.
What feature are you looking for?
Avatars can be enabled in bbPress 1.0.2. Just look in the admin settings.
If you want people to be able to upload their own avatars to your server, you need a plugin:
This is really old and might not work with 1.0.2:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/#post-219
Can you get the phpinfo for your installation and see if there IS a tmp folder?
Put this into a file called whatever.php, then access it with your browser at http://www.example.com/bbpress/whatever.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
I think you’re looking for a value called upload_tmp_dir
If it’s not there someone will need to look at the plugin and see what’s actually needed.
Please post a link to the plugin you’re using too.
kevinjohngallagher – Thank you very much for your help. I understand you caution completely, however given the nature of my community I am sure that this will be appreciated.
Can you confirm that the following will only select users who are bbpress members and above, and not all users in my WordPress users table.
$bbdb->users WHERE user_status=0"
The problem with the “relevant posts” was reported already:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1222
There are some additional notes on that ticket.
I’m not sure where you see the extra slashes. Can you post a screenshot with them identified? I haven’t heard of that one yet.
