I just had a trojan on my server, and had to replace some files in the BBPress installation. But the database was untouched.

Now suddenly, the forum has lost nearly a thousand posts, and two users have been deleted.

I’m having a similiar problem. I’m using bbpress integrated with our WordPress site. On the front-page.php page, in the “Latest Discussions” I’m using this bit of code:

<?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?> by <a href="/wedding-chat/profile/<?php topic_author(); ?>" ><?php topic_author(); ?></a>

Which gives me the users name, and a link to their profile page. The problem is that the link is using their username, which if the user has spaces or dashes, poses problems. I need to get the user_nicename or display_name value from that users record. How do I do this in bbPress? I’ve dug around, but I don’t see any information on the topic.

Thanks!

wow! great!

This sounds rather like my recent (still unsolved) problem:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-section-inaccessible-after-09-10

I for sure see the Admin link, yet nothing will bring up the Admin panel. I understand the problems may be dissimilar, yet there could be a common issue.

Chris, many thanks, that is sure simple.

Actually, I am trying to develop a site based on wordpress and bbpress that is friendly for senior citizens. The wordpress side will have useful information for the audience, that I and others can contribute to, and the bbpress side will have the forum where if a viewer chooses, they can register and enter into a discussion. I have looked at buddypress, but I think it has a lot of features that are not useful, much less at all understood by a senior citizen audience. Social networking is not their thing.

So I guess I was looking for a WP theme where I can display an intro, and the blog and forum clickable areas, and maybe just another couple of items. Anything more will confuse, and be a turn off, for many who don’t know what a browser is.

A huge and fast growing market is the aging population, and those that design interfaces for these users will have great success.

Thanks again,

Roger

Can someone explain how I can pull the total number of bbpress posts made and display them in wordpress theme, and also a harder one to solve, how do I get the total number of posts for a user in bbpress and display that in the users wordpress author.php?

I’ve got intergration happening with shared login/registrations, tables in same DB.

Thanks for any help

[KasperN]

I tried, but still the same. I think i may have called my keymaster user ‘admin’ when i did the bbPress install, same as my user in WP, do you think that may have something to do with it not working?

Is there any way to make me keymaster other than in the bb-admin panel?

Thanks-

John, sure there is no guarantee, but the bbpress development over the last 2 years was never so active as for wordpress.

My Forum is ~ 2years old and I updated only once (to 1.02)

and at the end we have to trust Matt

[johnhiler]

Olaf – Just saw your earlier edit. Moving features into the core is no guarantee that development won’t stop… just look at the bbPress Core itself over the past few months!

[Olaf Lederer]

I checked bbpress for “batching email updates” and noticed that an extra table is needed.

One of the reasons I stopped looking into that feature.

EDIT: Important functions should belong to the core system, otherwise the development of some plugin might stop (like in this case)

[Michael]

Yeah – not much has been decided upon yet, but, by the looks of things, we may see WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress/ being a fully integrated package, where BuddyPress and bbPress stand as plugins for WordPress.

[Darfuria]

I think first and foremost, bbPress needs to do what ever it’s going to do with WordPress, and move on from that. Whether it remains as a standalone solution and has a solid integration facility, or becomes integrated with WordPress. I don’t really care which, as either way bbPress will be working side-by-side with WordPress, which is all that I require right now.

[chrishajer]

You need to drop all the bbpress tables from the database and reinstall. Read from here down in this thread:

Hi, can anyone help?

I screwed up my bbpress upgrade and decided to do a re-install. Instead I got the above error message in the last step. Now I can still access my forum home page (the header only) but admin log in failed and the forum is not there (error “page not found”)

How to resolve this?

All help is appreciated

Thks heaps

There was lots of discussion of BuddyPress at the first IRC meetup:

2009-12-09 Meetup

I don’t think anything is decided, but you can kind of see where things were taking shape there.

[tonicarr]

Now I hear that buddypress can be used on wp single. What does that do to bbpress?

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you’re not the keymaster at the forums, so you won’t have an Admin link and won’t be able to access bb-admin.

Try clearing all your cookies or a totally new browser, and just log in to bbPress, not WordPress, and see if it works.

[chrishajer]

Yes, 2100 GMT on Wednesday:

meetup on IRC at 2100 GMT on Wednesdays

That’s 3:00 PM in Chicago. You can visit this site with a browser, no other software required:

Is the IRC meetup tomorrow?

Your post is looking a little skimpy! The forum requires you to have at least 3 words, but you only have 1.

Push the back button in your browser.

How’s that?

Looking for a landing theme/page that has two options, wp blog and bbpress forum. No other junk. user chooses which one he/she wants to access. That’s it, simple, fast and elegant!!!

Thanks, Roger

gerikg,

I saw that post and (foolishly) hoped for a different answer. However, i did follow your advice in the linked post (‘go look in the BuddyPress docs’) and found this answer:

You cannot use the admin panel of bbPress if you use the one/two click BuddyPress installation. If you want a bbPress admin panel and want to install bbPress plugins, you need to install bbPress externally, then use the WordPress integration plugin, then you go to BuddyPress Forum component and click on “I want to use exisiting bbPress forum”

in the BuddyPress forums where i probably should have looked in the first place.

bakercad, another issue I ran into last few days was when you choose subdomain as a MU options.

site.com/blog1 works well

blog1.site.com sometimes does not work

I haven’t found a solution that works so far.
