It’s already done, and has been for quite awhile actually.

On another forum I visit they have a hot topic post where if the topic has a certain amount of posts it will turn into a Flaming File, with fire bursting from the topic folder. This would be a neat little plugin to develop for BBpress

Just a thought

[fifthhouse]

It would be wonderful if bbpress and wordpress themes were fully integrated so I can have bbforums as a menu item in my wordpress site and the forums opens right in my wordpress site with theme and menus and blog categories fully intact.

Is this on the plate at all?

Hello,

I see a few threads here requesting a converter for IPB but the few there are have been unanswered.

As the last thread that I can see is over a year old I thought I’d post regarding this.

I was wondering if there have been any further developments regarding a viable converter for IPB users?

Thanks,

B

Hello all. I am starting a new wordpress site with bbpress installed in a subdirectory. I am not very tech savy and don’t know how to do code, but I am wondering how difficult it would be to have my bbpress forums inside my wordpress blog theme.

In other words, is it possible to have the same look and menu structure from my blog appear when in the forums?

From what I can find in the forums this is called deep integration. I have viewed the posts on that, but I am wondering if there is any further development that would help me, because I don’t have the ability to do the tasks as they are presented in those posts.

I use Akismet and reCAPTCHA for both WP and bbPress. Then once in awhile I use Mass Delete to get rid of users with zero posts. Not a single spambot problem since then.

Ah – problem fixed. Text was screwed up.

next problem:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/bajentes/public_html/bbpress/my-plugins/no-duplicate-displayname/no-duplicate-displayname.php:32) in /home/bajentes/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232

[BaraBajen]

Hmmm Got this error message:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ” (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/bajentes/public_html/bbpress/my-plugins/no-duplicate-displayname/no-duplicate-displayname.php on line 2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/bajentes/public_html/bbpress/my-plugins/no-duplicate-displayname/no-duplicate-displayname.php on line 2

What to do….

[msmeritt]

Ah, well, that did help me at least get into my admin area, thanks. Now what else needs to happen, other than deactivation the integration plugin? There have to be some settings in WP and/or bbPress that need to be set back to something, no?

@grassrootspa

I doubt that too but I am wondering if that didn’t work out

[msmeritt]

A while back, I added bbPress to my website. I used the bbPress Integration plugin and followed the screencast instructions, but it never quite worked right. Since then, I’ve seen too little need for integration, and I’d like to just get rid of it — keeping the bbPress installation, but getting rid of integration.

I can’t find good instructions on how to do this. Further, I can’t even properly get into my bbPress admin area. I log in, but I just get the regular bbPress screen, and when I click Admin, it just redirects me right back to the regular screen. And I do believe this is the result of things going wrong with cookies because of the integration plugin.

Help! Thanks

1. Created the database;

2. Uploaded the bbPress files to the destination directory;

3. Went to my forum URL and got the appropriate install screen;

4. Proceeded to Step 1, where I entered the pertinent info (Database name, Database user, Database password);

5. Upon entering the requisite info, I hit ‘Save database configuration file’ button;

6. The next screen tells me “Your settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php You can now continue to the next step.” I click ‘Go to Step 2’;

7. Blank white screen (http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php).

Note: I have tried starting from scratch I have installed a new database, then re-uploading the bbPress files, creating the ‘bb-config.php’ file manually from the sample version, then uploading it via FTP. When I do it this way, I get the blank white screen immediately, without getting any introductory/installation pages.

I have installed many wordpress blogs on the same server on various domains with absolutely no problem.

Hi, is there a way to make a link for the latest post on the forum homepage, so a vistor can go directly to that instead of navigation through the pages.

I am using bbPress 1.0.2

Thanks in advance.

[Arturo]

i use human test for bbpress and no 1 spam user on my 2 forums.

[Vietson]

Is there a better way to stop spam registration? My bbPress forum is bombarded with spam registration.

I have askimet, bozo, bb-nospamuser, and php4bbpress but it still doesn’t help. Anything else I can do to stop the spamming?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

You could use this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/disable-display-name/

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

A threaded forum layout could be achieved using a template, you’d just have to code it yourself by loading the titles from each thread (and add titles, either yourself or with a plugin) or find someone who has already done it. Why isn’t bbPress like that? It’s made to be as simple as possible so you can build what you want from it.

[گناهکار]

nice work.

but I think avatars is too big!

[Olaf Lederer]

check your profile page or the profile page from someone else

the forum you have mentioned is not a bbpress forum

[Josh Leuze]

It looks like the original poster’s link still works Adam:

Maybe it was a temporary outage?

[grassrootspa]

My money is that Sam was simply implementing the new site template.

[gerikg]

kawauso, Would this work https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

[gerikg]

I just found this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/

[gerikg]

I click on Rebuild and it worked.

[gerikg]

It’s happening to me. WPMU 2.8.4a+BB 1.0.2+BP 1.0.3 I’m going to try to use

I’ll let you know, I have a lot of users so it might take a while…
