It’s such a pity it had to come to an end.

Who said that it has come to an end??? See the sticky post on this forum’s front page.

Hi all

I downloaded bbPress about a week and a bit ago, and I find it extremely user-friendly. It’s such a pity it had to come to an end.

It’s also unfortunate to hear that it had ended mostly based on the fact that Sam left – a replacement could have been appointed to continue developing such great forum software.

Unlike most forum software – bbPress is extremely easy to extend. This is one of the reasons I am using it. It’s compatibility is great.

If I was able to – I would continue the development of bbPress myself – though it would not feel right as I am not part of Automattic, thus I do not have the rights to the source-code. All I can do for now is work on what I have, and continue using bbPress for as long as possible.

At present, I run a [new] development community called dev:station (http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation), proudly powered by bbPress. The only reason I would switch from bbPress is to extend my concept in to a social-site, instead of a forum-based site.

I really do hope that, in the future, bbPress will be re-incarnated – maybe as something completely new. In fact, if anything, that would be a good idea: Create a new package. Start from scratch.

Furthermore, WordPress still uses bbPress for its forum – I doubt that it will be gone for too long.

@buddha trance: I completely agree with you – I think we should keep it alive and kicking. If anything, Automattic may realize that bbPress should be in continual development. It would make me very happy, if not everyone else.

I have also issues with BBPress Polls. The plugin activates, and shows in the interface, but does not react. Re-installes several times. But no results.

Tried to alter the settings, and it wiped out all settings of my iBlogPro Forum Theme.

This behavior is reproducible (and a real pain).

FYI I’m a newby to bbPress…

Any advice welcome.

[johnhiler]

Please reinstall it and post a detailed bug report – we may be able to figure out the issue for you. It also may be a conflict with another plugin, which you could resolve by deactivating that other plugin (or finding an alternative).

[johnhiler]

There won’t be any changes to bbPress for quite some time… if Matt does replace Sam, it will take time for any new release to come out.

So actually, this is probably the most stable time in the history of bbPress’ codebase to be making themes or plugins!

[bbdev]

I am wanting to develop some bbPress themes but would like to know the status on bbPress itself??

Also, are there changes coming to the software that will completely change the way themes are developed? or will themes remain the same??

Basically, what’s going on here with Sam and _CK_ gone?… which is very disappointing.

[hpguru]

bbPress is best forum software! I use 1 years -> and i’m happy.

[qbnlykwhoa]

I can register from WordPress but whenever i try to register from bbpress i get that error message.

@ shansta – The WordPress admin is a bbPress Keymaster. This is what I have, and all is working fine. I’m not sure about the a:2 you added, with both capabilities…

wp_usermeta:

wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

bb_capabilities a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

Dashboard –> WordPress Integration

WordPress Administrator –> bbPress Keymaster

WordPress Editor –> bbPress Administrator

WordPress Author –> bbPress Member

WordPress Contributor –> bbPress Member

WordPress Subscriber –> bbPress Member

As hatter mentioned, login/logout problems are usually a cookie issue.

@chandersbs – I second that.

Let’s keep this thread running, as well as the one on WordPress

That error sounds similar to this one:

Are you using any of the plugins mentioned in that post? Might be worth disabling them temporarily, and seeing if that impacts the error…

I get this whenever a new user tries to register.

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/services/vux/lib/php’) in /data/20/1/161/72/1976724/user/2159081/htdocs/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

Any help would be appreciated.

As long as this community doesn’t quit on bbPress, bbPress will not die.

We invested in bbPress since it was open-source and we could take it whatever direction we wanted. I would recommend the same for those here worried about future support (if you like the product).

If you still want to move to another forum software, I would first pick a new platform… and then find out if they have a import utility. If they do, find out the format of data required and build a script to dump the data from bbPress in that format.

If you are not able to do this yourself, hire a programmer. Someone fluent in MySQL and php/perl should be able to pull this off fairly easily.

I just put my idea of 5 top forums on my blog with bbpress number 1 see it here http://www.macmend.com

It’s a shame…

Use the .pot-file for the bbPress version you are translating – you can import it in your poedit project.

Thanks Buddha,

I tried all of these, to no avail. I also tried that other page, worked my way through it, but that thread just kind of fizzed out with no resolution either. I’ve tried to read that 101 page before. it’s too long with too much conflicting info.

One of them led me to this page, to generate a SALT:

https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt

I tried that, put it in both config files, and it didn’t work.

The only headway I made was that in adding your “speedup” rules, I was unable to log out of bbpress. At least it was something.

The cookie hash I generated here:

http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php

Some said to include the www. in these url values (cookiehash, COOKIE_DOMAIN, etc), some said not, I tried both and still couldn’t get it to work.

I appreciate your help Buddha, it might be that I need to learn more about cookies; as it is, I’m just stabbing in the dark here, I’m not totally familiar with how all these things work.

@arpowers – I deep integrated my local installation, just to test, and I have the same problem. All template tags work fine, but the Page Mash plugin is displaying all hidden pages, and the sidebar is only displaying the default place holder widgets, but not the other ones.

I believe that the problem is that the plugin settings and other data are stored in the wp_options table, and this is not being pulled into bbPress. It seems like deep integration allows for the use of the wp template tags, but not much more beyond it… Maybe there is a way to make the wp_options table available to bbPress, by defining something in bb-config.php?

Well, I took the header, footer, index, style sheet and image folder from the WP theme and transfered them over to the bbP theme folder. I then renamed index.php to forum.php and combined both css files into one which is currently pretty bloated. After clearing out my browser cache the bbP page is pretty good looking, just like the WP page.

There are a few things that need tweaking, such as a blank line near the footer on the main page and the tag list on the message pages.

Still have to add a physical link between the two. (Although the header image will still take you to the main blog site.)
