delayedinsanity,

It’s not a bbpress plugin, it’s a WPMU. It might work for WP.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/installation/

[Mark]

Honestly can’t say I’m a fan of the green, and I’m not too sure what the red, green and white dots are for either?

I don’t want to be the only person with issues, but I’m sure you guys are capable of handling criticism. Outside of those two things, I think it’s looking pretty darn snazzy. Can’t wait to see it go live!

[Stealth Employed]

I checked my directory and there is no ‘/XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bp-log.php’. There is not a backpress folder in the bb-includes folder. I went to https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2 and verfified that it didn’t come with the bbpress download. At the bottom of that page it shows:

Property svn:ignore set to

bb-config.php

my-templates

my-plugins

my-languages

.htaccess

is there supposed to be a backpress directory or is my bbpress installation supposed to access it from somewhere else?

Also, here is line 107 of bb-settings.php if it helps:

“require_once( BACKPRESS_PATH . ‘class.bp-log.php’ );”

[chrishajer]

That very simple error means that the file is not there, or maybe it’s there but has wrong permissions.

Is this file present:

'/XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bp-log.php

If not, FTP the files up there again maybe one was missed. I don’t think it has anything to do with WordPress because it’s bb-settings.php complaining about a missing bbPress file.

I couldn’t find anything that’s password-based, but you use Hidden Forums

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

That lets you control by user ID and type who can see what forums

[chandersbs]

Too bad.

Just so you know, I’m not using WordPress. It’s just bbPress only.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

A basic register-then-post would probably be relatively easy using AJAX on the post-form template, without having to touch core files. Modifying registration email behaviour as described earlier in the thread would probably be more difficult. Problem is of course, bbPress support forums are filled with people who want people to write things for them and almost no-one willing to do it.

That said mind you, I’d give the first part a shot if I could get my head around the kind of form layout you’d need to use.

[karamarolt]

Hi – I’d using bbpress within WordPress and would like to password protect some forums or topics, but not all. Is there a way to do this?

[johnhiler]

Try this?

[grassrootspa]

Looking forward to the new look. Sam, we getting close?

[gerikg]

Try:

Go to bb-admin section and click on tools and recount items, see if that helps.

And then try this plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/#post-2086

[InvTrdr]

Thanks.

@Ed

Integration is not mandatory. It can be useful if you want site wide login sync and share users among WP & bbP. You can use the same database. No plugin is required for integration.

I replied to your email but it seems to have some problem so I sent you a mail via your contact form too.

http://storeeboard.com is my new site using bbPress. The site is not a forum as such, it is used more as a game.

I’ve modified the kakumei theme and really simplified and cleaned up the whole look.

I hope you like the look of it…

[chandersbs]

I don’t think there is a plugin that only shows newest members, there is one plugin though that generates a lot of useful information about your forum.

I think this plugin might help you:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/my-views/

Maybe you can find a way to pull the data it generates and insert it wherever you want it.

[David Wang]

Hi, I’m working on a WordPress + bbPress site – see it in development at http://beta.delectable.com.my/forum/ – and I’d like to know how to display a list of the new members. Just something that says “Newest users in our forum” and a list of the member usernames. I would like to display this in the footer, not on a separate page. Thanks!

[InvTrdr]

When I get past Step1 I keep getting this message that will not allow me to proceed to Step2. Any help? I am using GoDaddy for hosting and followed all the instructions. Am not using the same database as WP is using. Have created a new one for bbPress.

[InvTrdr]

I created a new database for bbPress.

[johnhiler]

If you also have a WordPress install that you’re sharing the database with, I think you can use the values in your WordPress config file in your bbPress bb-config.php…

[Olaf Lederer]

The first “forum” is the forum’s folder and the second is used to identity a (sub)forum.

The same way like a tag or topic is identified. You can change the forum’s folder name, that’s all.

the structure make sense:

https://bbpress.org/forums/ (forums home)

https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting (the troubleshooting forum)

[johnhiler]

Your bb-config.php file is in the root of your bbpress installation… you can edit it in any plaintext editor.

It looks something like this:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-config-sample.php

[InvTrdr]

Which config.php file is being referred to in the article? Will it be under the bbPress folder? Also where is the hostname required? bbPress installation only asks me for the username and password.

Thanks.

[johnhiler]

Ah ok, GoDaddy requires you to change some settings… there’s a nice writeup here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-select-db-error-and-godaddycom

Here’s the key link:

Hope that helps!
