I haven’t tested this, but this plugin was just posted recently:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/login-free-posting/

I know this is old but I needed it to, so here is the answer for anyone else finding this on google:

1) Open bb-includes/functions.bb-meta.php

2) Find this line:

case 'url':

$option = 'uri';

3) After it, add:

case 'uri':

return "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/forum/";

break;

Replace the “/forum/” part with the proper URL to your forums. For example

http://blah.com/bbpress/

would be:

return "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/bbpress/";

So both Alekseo and Kawauso can both log in on the bbPress side and it’s fine, the problem exists only when logged in at WordPress?

[chrishajer]

Don’t put it in the same folder. It doesn’t work well. The subdomain solution is fine.

[alekseo]

I just realized another easy solution (not that pimpin tho, sadly) when viewing the thread where people show off their forums. To install the forum on a subdomain. then it would look like http://forums.hi.com/forum/off-topic.

[alekseo]

Is it possible to install bbPress in the same folder as WordPress or have anyone tried? I have seen alot of people trying to remove the extra /forum url that appears in bbPress. This really seems like the obvious solution and like it’s what it’s coded for initially. I only fear that it’s too easy and straight forward that it won’t work

[alekseo]

Yes. Then it just redirects back to the bbPress core directory. Works fine when i sign in from the forums tho.

I recently installed bbpress by extending buddypress 1.1 with wordpress mu 2.8.4. While everything is ok on the buddypress end, the forum does not have a “Add New Topic” link displayed…. I tried adding topics and posts through the database too, but same result! You can find the link to the forum here – http://smartlearnwebtv.com/iitjee/forums. I’d appreciate any help from you guys.

Note: The forum under the “Groups” category seems to work fine – not sure if this has got anything to do with the problem am facing.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. I was referring to the links above the powered by bbPress slogan. I want to be able to change the size and color of those links that I put in there. Those links point back to my site. The same problem I am having in the header too. How do I adjust the size and color of the links on the top left corner of the header.php file? I tried making a div in the header but it did not work. Did I do something wrong?

Thank you.

Thank you Olaf, but, I was trying with this plugin before and I can’t get a highlighting code, just a white square with the information.

And, another issue, is that if I write the quotes, bbpress (or the plugin?) change for more quotes: I write “as”, and get “”as””, so, I need to write <pre lang=as>code</pre >

Who has gotten this to work? When i try going into myforums with a cellphone it looks normal. Does not look like a mobile edition.

Hello all,

I’ve upgraded my BP to 1.1, before that I’ve done the deep integration to show the buddybar on bbpress, which worked fine. After the update, it won’t show up anymore. I have been using the plugin “Buddybar in bbpress”, including the settings in my bb-config.php. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Greets,

pixelgirl.

Then you might need a plugin like this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/#post-245

The only problem with that plugin is that it’s old and might not (probably will not) work with 1.0. But that is the approach you want to take. You must approve a topic before it’s visible to the public.

Just a note here – I did the same thing as dragunoff. The only snag I encountered was that the admin account(s) needed special care, or I was locked out of my blog.

Also, I dumped the nicename data into the display_name field.

[Olaf Lederer]

This one has a few tiny issues but should do the job:

[chrishajer]

There was moderation hold, but it’s a pretty old plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/#post-245

You might also want read-only forums?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

That’s an old plugin as well.

[Andrew Wilkinson]

I have same issue and have over 25,000 posts, how do I delete all the special characters from the post or is their a way to have them imported through the SQL

[ioni]

You need to check the URL requrested and basing on that use the theme

But i suppose you have WP and bbPress installed

[chrishajer]

I think you could do this with a theme switching plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/

That particular plugin worked only through 0.9 though.

I think the idea would be to link to the forum using a direct link, specifying the template, or maybe set a cookie depending on where the visitor came from, then choosing the template based on that cookie.

I don’t think you need to modify bbPress at all – you just need to identify where the user comes from (cookie?) and set their template appropriately.

[chrishajer]

It will integrate users with WordPress, if you want that.

It’s easiest to just use the WordPress database – just be sure the table prefix is different for WordPress and bbPress. WordPress uses wp_ by default and bbPress uses bb_ by default. Just be sure they are different, or bbPress will mess up your WordPress installation. Like this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/extreme-database-help-im-an-idiot

Hi, iltdevunit

That really depends what you are going to do with you wordpress and bbPress installations.

Using one table (but differenct prefixes) will allow you to make better use of MySQL features as integration will be seamless.

As for bbPress – it could completely integrate into WordPress and could be standalone: so really it depends on you!

[iltdevunit]

Hi,

I’m about to install bbPress.

For the database information in installation step 1, do I put in the WordPress db settings or am I supposed to create a new database and put its details i?

I’m not sure if bbPress integrates into WordPress or if it is a completely stone-alone bb that just happens to be by the same people that brought us WordPress.

Cheers

I’m hoping this is possible, but am doubtful. Hopefully someone can help if it is possible.

I run a small community website. I have a friend that runs a similar but not exactly the same small community website. We were looking to become “sister” websites. What we want to do is have the message boards from both sites be a single board. This part isn’t what I’m worried about. I know it’s as simple as directing a link.

What we are wanting however is to have her WP theme show up as the bbP theme when entered from her domain.. And when entered from my domain, my WP theme to show up as the bbP theme. Does anyone feel this is 1) possible 2) relatively “easy” to accomplish? When I say relatively easy, I mean that I know it will be difficult, but I don’t want to re-write ALL of the bbPress code.

Thanks!

This forum is integrated with my WP blog, which is a weather/severe weather blog. The site is finished, its just picking up some users that is a but tough feel free to check it out. If you at all feel like you want to register, do it through WP, not bbPress. I haven’t altered the login system on bbPress yet

[Olaf Lederer]

It’s very easy to use your sites template with bbpress
