I was thinking that integrating bbPress with WP, doesn’t let you benefit from most WP plugins, why to integrate at all?

[chrishajer]

Integrating does not help WordPress plugins work on bbPress. If that’s all you’re looking for, you probably don’t need integration. If you’d like to ensure that WordPress plugins work in your forum, maybe you want a forum plugin for WordPress, not bbPress.

There is a bbPress SEO plugin too:

This is the best source of information I know of, and I don’t see a greek translation here:

Hi all,

is there a greek version of bbPress available now, or do I have to follow the above procedure?

Thanks

I figured out that this error only pops up when CK’s BBPress Polls plugin is activated?

Does anyone out there know how to figure out which part of the plugin to alter to keep these two plugins working in harmony?

To clarify… the error pops up when I click NEW PM using the BBPM plugin from NightGunner but only when BBPress Polls is activated.

Had to add an extra rule to make this work for continuation pages of the front page:

“^/page/([0-9]+)/?$” => “/?page=$1”,

There appears to be an issue still, within BBpress 1.02 this time: when on a continuation page, the link for “Page 1” does not include a “1” but the number of the current page – so the link does nothing and does not return to the home page.

There are some WP plugins which should work without any changes, those are the plugins which do not interact with the actual content, like google analitycs or super cache. Plugins which need the interaction will probably not work, or at least not as expected, but if you are willing to do some coding, in the long run it might be easier to adapt an existing WP plugin to be used with BB than to support two different plugins, one for each platform.

tried it and it doesn’t work……..

I am praying you are right. This feature is extremely important!

You could wrap your links in code like this:

Since Sam stepped down as bbPress lead a short while ago, we haven’t heard who will be replacing him (or how many resources Automattic will devote to the product). Hopefully we’ll get an update sooner rather than later!

[Rohan Kapoor]

Do we have an updated status on bbPress Channels yet?

[chandersbs]

The reason for me asking this question, is the gazillion topics in this forum about integrating WP with bbpress. A lot of users have problems doing it. I tried it as well on my localhost, and couldn’t get it to work. I was also thinking what is the greatest benefit, so that’s why I asked.

I was wondering, if you integrate WP with bbpress, does that mean that plugins that work on bbpress will also work on bbPress?

Like, WP has this very cool, SEO for all plugin, you can edit page title, description etc. will this plugin work for bbPress topics?

If WP plugins don’t work for bbPress, then I really don’t see any great benefit for going through all that trouble of integrating…

For normal site-users it can be nice, that they’re logged in at WordPress if the’re registered and logged in at bbPress. The WP comment form is simpler for the logged-in-users, they don’t have to type their name, mail adress and homepage. If you configure your WordPress in a way which requires registration of commenters, there is an additional benefit for administration. There are always some hand-registered SEO-spammers, and it makes you less work if you have only one user database. The mapping of WP user roles to user roles in bbPress may save some work too.

For most installations, the integration isn’t needed. Always remember that the bbPress installation with integration is significantly more complicated than a normal bbPress installation and may lead you to incompatibility issues with future WP releases. Think about it before doing. I love it, but it is a little hard sometimes…

[kernow]

I browse the bbpress forums from time to time. In the dark cold winter I hope to work through a few books and try them out.

[johnhiler]

If you’re looking for support for a lot of bbPress plugins, your best best is usually to stay on the 0.9 branch. 1.0 won’t have a lot of plugins supported for months, if at all…

[chrishajer]

Many people want integration so that your users can log in to either bbPress or WordPress and not have to log in again when they switch from blog to forum, or forum to blog.

Others want ‘deep integration’ so they can use WordPress functions (like get_sidebar, get_footer and get_header) in their bbPress installation. Sometimes they want deep integration to make the two themes look similar or identical. Sometimes they want to be able to pull WordPress information into bbPress or vice-versa.

I integrated a forum with a blog one time but I normally have no use for it. It’s not worth the trouble for me, and I don’t need integration of users or functions.

[amylmc]

Yes. My dashboard looks like that. But I can’t see or activate new themes I’ve uploaded per the directions on the bbpress.org site. I can’t make color changes or change the look at all.

[chandersbs]

Can someone tell my why its a great thing to integrate these two?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I just asked for a feedback on the site as per the design and implementation of WordPress & bbPress. And my main target are Indian students only. If you want to contribute, then why not sign up? I would love to see you in NAP forums.

[chrishajer]

amylmc – does your dashboard look like this?

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/bbpress-1.0-dashboard.png

If it doesn’t, then the user you’re logging in as is not the keymaster and does not have all the proper permissions.

[chrishajer]

Marius- please stick to one topic per post. I thought this was about widgets then I see this comment about removing the tags bar. If you want to remove the tags, just look in your template files for wherever the tag cloud is displayed, and remove that code. I don’t see a link to your forum so I can’t tell you exactly what to remove.

I think tags are normally attached to each topic, and also to the front page, and you would need to remove the places where tags can be added as well. Just find those sections in your template files, and delete them or comment them out. Make a copy of all the files first in case you make a mistake and need to revert back.
