One could run a filter function on bb_template to check for templates in both the parent and child themes.
Or, the user could set it in bb-config.php:
define( BB_DEFAULT_THEME_DIR, 'path/to/default/theme/directory' );
I don’t really like either of those two options. Your average user gets confused enough as it is. Trying to tell them to input PHP code can cause headaches sometimes.
As far as I know, there’s no way to filter the default theme directory either. I’m open to ideas though. If anyone could offer a solution with a few lines of code, I’ll be happy to give it a whirl.
Ideally, the constant BB_DEFAULT_THEME_DIR would be based off the theme’s Template line in style.css. Or, bb_get_default_template() would recognize the Template line.
Justin, couldn’t you just add something into every child theme which made it automatically load the parent theme’s “theme”? Would only take a single require to load the parent theme into I’d have thought … says the person who knows infinitely less about PHP than you do :p
You can use the bbPress-Wordpress Syncronization plugin for this, found at http://bobrik.name/code/wordpress/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/. We are currently running bbPress 1.0.2 and WordPress 2.8.5 and have no issues.
I should change that to say, 10 seconds for a connection, not a query. Occasionally when the server is under heavy load due to a lot of users, the total time used on a connection may exceed 10 seconds, causing this issue.
Make sure your cookies are set properly and match between bbPress and WordPress. Usually, if you have to login when going between the two, the cookies don’t match. Also, when testing this, make sure you delete old cookies from your system as they may be causing a conflict.
This plugin powers a support forum/ticketing system:

Hi all,
does anyone know if there is a Ticket system plugin for bbpress?
Tnx
Just a reminding note that I will be on this soon.
Sounds a bit like part of BuddyPress really…

The plugins that used to allow this, bbPress Live (for newer bbPress) and bbSync (for older bbPress) are both broken, I believe.
You can also parse the RSS feed, going either way, but that’s a lot of work to do what you want.
Akismet will catch some (the plugin comes with bbPress). Or, use the human test plugin to prevent most spammers from registering in the first place.

I never said that. The search engines will read what’s on the page. You determine how many tags are in the tag heat map. The search engines can see that, but you don’t show the tags after 40 (41, 42 …) so that cannot be picked up by any search engine.
Regarding tags on each individual post, please start another topic, or see how it works with the search engines to see if any sites’ tags are indexed. Like here:

There was a plugin that allowed you to extend the user profile, but it’s very old and I would be surprised if it still worked. You could use something like that to allow people to add their blog URL to their profile. You could also probably figure out how to display their feed in their profile as well once you enable them to add that URL to their profile.

10 seconds is a long time for one query. Have you logged slow queries in your installation to see what’s taking so much time? bbPress doesn’t do that by default. Maybe it’s a plugin or something else on that site?
Would anybody know how to display parts of bbpress in wordpress? My wordpress category pages are the same as my bbpress forums. Would it be possible to include latest 10 posts from bbpress forum ‘apple ipod’ on an apple ipod category page in wordpress?
..
Further thought, possibly the other way around? Display wordpress posts from ‘apple ipod’ category above the bbpress forum ‘apple ipod’?
I want a feature that will enable user to add their own blogs plus display the blogs feeds in a public profile page.
Well first of all I am really happy with bbPress, it’s great for my simple site.
My problem is the integration between my wordpress blog an my forum. When i log in to the forum i get logged out of wordpress and visa versa. Just wondering whether or not this is supposed to happen? What can i do if its not?
Help would be great.
After researching this error for a while, I finally found a solution and wanted to share to hopefully help someone else out, so they don’t go through the same headache.
Searching for this issue within bbPress lead nowhere, so I abandoned that approach and looked at it from strictly a MySQL perspective. Finally I found that there wasn’t enough time being given to queries. Once the timeout was reached, an error would be thrown, and the query would be abandoned. For one of my client sites I found that, even though we had a dedicated server, the host used a default .cnf file for db settings, and had set the wait_timeout = 10, meaning if a query didn’t respond in 10 seconds (even if the server was under load at the time), the query would fail. This issue was resolved with the following settings:
interactive timeout = 25
wait timeout = 45
Note: The settings may need to be different for your site, and your host may not let you change these settings. I just wanted to mention this in case it can help you.
Upon further inspection of the source code. I noticed that the link to the star.gif was awkward:
http://localhostbbpressmy-pluginsbb-ratings/star.gif
To make sure that was an issue with FF, I copied it into the address bar and it returned an error. Changed the backslash to forward slashes and it worked. However now I’m stuck on how to change it, looked into the php file and it just calls the path to bb url. Checked in the bb admin section and the url is set with forward slashes, so I have no clue why it’s backward slashes.
There are some extra steps in the Installation ssection, beyond just putting it in the plugins folder:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpages/installation/
Try them out and see if that does the trick? Good luck!
Posted this in the bbRating plugin section, but figured my issue would have more exposure if I posted here.
I have bbPress 1.0.2 on a test server with bbRating 0.8.5.
bb_rating() and bb_rating_dingus() work correctly on IE8 and Safari, and oddly does not work in FireFox. Firefox simply doesn’t show anything, looking at the source code it shows the same thing as IE8 and Safari, with my limited coding knowledge I’m not sure what the issue could be.
Also bb_top_topics, which I assume lists the highest rated threads doesn’t do anything on any of the browsers.
Thanks.
Hi,
I actually just found out it wasn’t a plug-in problem…but a Gmail problem.
It seems they have now decided that users do not have unlimited space like they used to offer (practically begged you not to delete your mail), and that was why I wasn’t get my post notification emails.
I use different Gmail accounts for different things on my forum, and some of my emails were coming so that confused me into believing a plug-in was screwed up maybe because of a DB problem.
I had this happen on my WP Blog before.
Anyways thanks for your response, and beware Gmail users go clean your accounts (sent mail) out regularly.
You can set Gmail to delete your mail after it’s downloaded, but you have to manually delete your sent mail folder.
They (Gmail) don’t notify you when it’s full (you just stop getting any mail), you have to log in to see the notice, and I use Thunderbird so I hardly ever log into Gmail.
What a way to start the day…friggen Google.
Case closed.
Scott
Delete all bp_ tables and remove bb-config.php, try again
Is there something in bbPress that can help stop spam comments?
Thank you.
