All working in bbPress 1.0.2

[agl666]

I’ve done like you explained.

First, I’ve exported all IDs into Excel, then fill out new IDs (exactly bigger than can be in WPMU base – starting from 10000), then I searched for duplicate emails in wp_users and bb_users, exported to Excel and changed new_IDs of duplicated users to IDs_from_WPMU (something like that .

Then i’ve created array $old=>$new

$change=array(

1=>10001,2=>10002,3=>10003,5=>10004,7=>10005,8=>10006,10=>10007,11=>10008,12=>10009,13=>10010,14=>10011,15=>10012,16=>10013,17=>10014,18=>10015,19=>10016,20=>10017,21=>10018,22=>10019,23=>10020,24=>10021,25=>10022,26=>10023,27=>10024,28=>10025,29=>10026,30=>10027,31=>10028,32=>10029,33=>10030,34=>10031,35=>10032,36=>10033,37=>10034,38=>10035,39=>10036,40=>10037,41=>10038,43=>10039,44=>10040,46=>10041,47=>10042,48=>10043,49=>10044,50=>10045,51=>10046,52=>10047,53=>10048,54=>10049,55=>10050,56=>10051,57=>10052,58=>10053,59=>10054,60=>10055,61=>10056,62=>10057,63=>10058,64=>10059,65=>10060,66=>10061,67=>10062,68=>10063,69=>10064,70=>10065,71=>10066,72=>10067,73=>10068,74=>10069,75=>10070,76=>10071,77=>10072,78=>10073,82=>10074,83=>10075,86=>10076,89=>10077,92=>10078,94=>10079,95=>10080,97=>10081,99=>10082,100=>10083,101=>10084,102=>10085,103=>10086,105=>10087,106=>10088,107=>10089,109=>10090,110=>10091,111=>10092,113=>10093,114=>10094,115=>10095,116=>10096,117=>10097,118=>10098,119=>10099,121=>10100,122=>10101,123=>10102,124=>10103,125=>10104,126=>10105,667=>10106,669=>10107,670=>10108,671=>10109,672=>10110,673=>10111,675=>10112,676=>10113,678=>10114,679=>10115,680=>10116,681=>10117,682=>10118,683=>10119,684=>10120,685=>10121,686=>10122,687=>10123,688=>10124,689=>10125,690=>10126,691=>10127,692=>10128,693=>10129,695=>10130,696=>10131,697=>10132,698=>10133,699=>10134,700=>10135,701=>10136,702=>10137,703=>10138,704=>10139,705=>10140,706=>10141,707=>10142,708=>10143,710=>10144,711=>10145,712=>10146,713=>10147,715=>10148,716=>10149,717=>10150,718=>10151,719=>10152,720=>10153,721=>10154,722=>10155,723=>10156,724=>10157,726=>10158,727=>10159,728=>10160,729=>10161,730=>10162,731=>10163,732=>10164,733=>10165,734=>10166,735=>10167,736=>10168,739=>10169,740=>10170,741=>10171,742=>10172,743=>10173,744=>10174,745=>10175,746=>10176,747=>10177,748=>10178,750=>10179,751=>10180,752=>10181,753=>10182,755=>10183,756=>10184,759=>10185,761=>10186,762=>10187,763=>10188,767=>10189,769=>10190,771=>10191,772=>10192,773=>10193,774=>10194,775=>10195,776=>10196,777=>10197,779=>10198,780=>10199,794=>10200,795=>10201,796=>10202,797=>10203,798=>10204,799=>10205,801=>10206,803=>10207,810=>10208,811=>10209,815=>10210,837=>10211,842=>10212,847=>10213,848=>10214,857=>10215,861=>10216,871=>10217,872=>10218,880=>10219,905=>10220,926=>10221,936=>10222,937=>10223,943=>10224,944=>10225,955=>10226,961=>10227,962=>10228,964=>10229,965=>10230,967=>10231,968=>10232,969=>10233,972=>10234,973=>10235,974=>10236,976=>10237,977=>10238,978=>10239,979=>10240,980=>10241,981=>10242,982=>10243,983=>10244,985=>10245,987=>10246,988=>10247,993=>10248,994=>10249,996=>10250,997=>10251,998=>10252,999=>10253,1000=>10254,1001=>10255,1002=>10256,1003=>10257,1008=>10258,1011=>10259,1018=>10260,1019=>10261,1021=>10262,1024=>10263,1061=>10264,1062=>10265,1063=>10266,1064=>10267,1065=>10268,1073=>10269,1074=>10270,1076=>10271,1077=>10272,1078=>10273,1090=>10274,1091=>10275,1092=>10276,1093=>10277,1094=>10278,1096=>10279,1097=>10280,1098=>10281,1099=>10282,1101=>10283,1102=>10284,1103=>10285,1104=>10286,1128=>10287,1129=>10288,1130=>10289,1131=>10290,1132=>10291,1133=>10292,1135=>10293,1136=>10294,1137=>10295,1138=>10296,1139=>10297,1140=>10298,1143=>10299,1144=>10300,1145=>10301,1212=>10302,1408=>10303,1410=>10304,1412=>10305,1413=>10306,1415=>10307,1416=>10308,1417=>10309,1418=>10310,1419=>10311,1420=>10312,1421=>10313,1422=>10314,1423=>10315,1424=>10316,1425=>10317,1426=>10318,1427=>10319,1428=>10320,1429=>10321,1430=>10322,1431=>10323,1432=>10324,1433=>10325,1434=>10326,1435=>10327,1436=>10328,1437=>10329,1438=>10330,1439=>10331,1440=>10332,1441=>10333,1442=>10334,1443=>10335,1444=>10336,1445=>10337,1446=>10338,1447=>10339,1448=>10340,1449=>10341,1450=>10342,

Hi All,

I am back on to bbPress and have decided to work at configuring my forum. I have read through the bbPress forum and blog but have not found a post regarding the best plugins. What are the top 5-10 plugins you would recommend to make the forum work efficiently. I know it depends on what you are trying to do, but there has to be a list with the best add on’s.

So far I have added the following:

• Bozo Users – Allows moderators to mark certain users as a “bozo”. Bozo users can post, but their content is only visible to themselves.
• Post Notification – Sends an Notification email if there’s a new post to an favorite topic.

  This plugin has some bugs.

• Simple Google Adsense
• Akismet

Also, is there a plugin / widget for WordPress that shows the activity on the forum?

Thanks for helping. I am looking forward to making bbPress a workable tool on my blog.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

What bbpress really needs is it’s “SANDBOX” theme. This was the groundbreaking wordpress theme that really took the platform to another level by giving themers a “clean slate” on which to work.

I recently updated Sandbox for wp 2.9 (http://selfevidenthotdogs.com/sandbox/) and have a mind to create something similar for bbpress. This will take some time, I’m no genius.

If someone else is working on this already, please let me know, we can work together on it.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Yes sorry, I should have explained more.

I just did something similar with a single install of wp.

Keep in mind that when you use wp for user data, it will use all the ids in the wp_users table. When you click the option to use that db for user data, it doesn’t merge anything at all! So for example, if one user has an id of 5 in bbpress, when you use the wp db for user data whoever is 5 in that db suddenly gets the bbpress guy’s data.

So! To get your data into shape, what you need to do is map the bbpress guys to the wp guys. So 5 in wp should be the same guy in bbpress. You might need to change the id of that user in the bbpress db.

Also! there is a bbpress user metadata table, so be sure to change the id there, too.

This is how I tackled it. There might be an easier way, or some tool, but if there is, I couldn’t find it. I just did some SQL on the db directly to get it structured as I needed it, then turned on integration.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Use Gravatar.com.

Support for which is built into wp and bbpress and a million other sites on the internet. I just went through this same thing: trust me and buy into the gravatar system, which may be kind of clunky but is far better than anything you can hack together.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Per https://wordpress.org/support/topic/350806 he wants a plugin that uploads for both bbPress and WordPress.

[Michael]

We have them Every Wednesday at 2100 GMT. The last few have not been posted on the blog yet. That will probably happen soon.

[citizenkeith]

Update: It does seem to be my theme. When I switch to Kakumei, I don’t have the problem.

I’m using a modified version of Misty for bbPress. I’ve been using pretty much the “stock” theme, aside from some CSS tweaks. Yesterday, I removed the javascript in header.php but it didn’t change anything (I thought it might be causing a conflict somewhere).

When is the next meet up??

[derek7]

I have bbpress with wordpress integration.

I noteiced that if i log in from wordpress ad administrator, then if i click on Administration in bbpress e get redirected to the forum’s main page.

Instead if i login on bbpress form, e can get to the bbpress’s administration page.

Is this a bug!?

thanks!

Hi,

On my website I have installed bbPress forum and have added four groups to it. I tried adding posts to the groups. It was fine till I added 12 topics but after adding 12 topics if I click the Post New link nothing happens and I’m not allowed to add any more topics. Please help me on this issue as soon as possible

[chrishajer]

To space them out, could you do something like this?

#tag-page a {

margin-right: 10px;

}

I think I would add an additional div to your template so that this #tag-page a doesn’t affect all the links on the page. Just wrap the section you want this to work on in something like <div id="tag-heat-map">.

If you want to do use a bullet instead after each link, you could do this also, but I am not certain what browsers actually support text generated by the :after pseudo-element (I think it’s CSS 2.1):

#tag-page a:after {

content: "%5C2007%5C00B7%5C2007";

}

The 2007 is a digit space, and the 00B7 is a middot. Maybe something like that? Not even related to bbPress really.

EDIT: above, those %5C are supposed to be backslashes but I can’t keep them from being translated or decoded or whatever. Should be character encoding from here:

Since BBpress 0.9’s release almost 2 years ago, we’ve had 5 different WordPress releases. My question here is, which versions of BBpress work with which versions of WordPress?

We dont mention it anywhere (crazy), and far too often the phrase “latest version of bbpress/wordpress” is used in the forum. I know we cant have documentation or change the static pages on this website, or post an HTML table in these forums, so I apologise for the long list:

I just wanted to chime in and say that I choose bbpress as a stand alone forum system because I don’t like the bloat of phpbb or vbulletin or any of the other bb softwares out there. Its light, simple setup, and anybody can jump into the discussion without having to learn a lot of new things.

I support where ever this all goes, but I hope it stays standalone.

[chrishajer]

ashfame, trunk automatically emails you for a thread you created? I know you can request email updates (like here), but will it happen automatically when you create a thread/topic?

With the subscribe to email updates function there now, it’s probably easier to just mark the topic when you create it, like _ck_’s comment here https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/#post-451

It’s probably just a different function now.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’ll add in

4) Ability to sort posts per bbPress category, based on WP category

(example: I post a blog post to News and that gets posted to the bbPress category News).

[agl666]

Hi!

I’m planning an integration of bbPress on forum.firstdomen.ru domen and WMU on seconddomen.ru domen, each on different hosting. Will it work? (e.g. will cookies be available for different domains). What can happen with that integration? Slowing down or everything’s normal?

[Michael]

bbPress does have support for Pretty Permalinks, which are SEO friendly. Just go to your admin panel > settings > permalinks. You can change it there.

Simple:Press is developed externally – so more effort has been put into bbPress to make sure it integrates properly with WordPress.

[Kamil_D]

Thanks guys,

Yes, i like bbPress. At First I tried it with the Simple:Press forum plugin for wordpress and it did work well. But the Simple:Press plugin has two downsides, There are a lot of functions and therefore, it is very big. Plus it is very slow. While bbPress is “Simple, fast, elegant”. And this is definitely the reason why I choose bbPress. I am happy with everything except the lack of a simple possibility to add pictures and the SEO friendliness. It would be better for instance if it was combinable with a SEO plugin to change the forum links. What I also see, bbpres has problem to be indexed in Google, the indexing is very slowly. While Simple:Press plugin is much more faster get indexed in google. I don’t know, maybe it’s because of that simple:press is plugin of wordpress.

I have read that bbPress wil be in the future also a wordpress plugin (canonical). I am wondering about it.

[agl666]

thanks, i had thoughts about it, but hoped that someone already had had that problem and solved
