This method is supported by bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8?

Get this file: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot

Open it with PoEdit: http://www.poedit.net/download.php

Find the strings you need to change, for example, “Location” and translate them to what you need. Save the changes as a .po file (it will also create a .mo file). Copy both files to your bbpress directory into a folder called “my-languages”. If you don’t have such a folder, create it.

Change your bb-config.php file and you’re done.

I’ve found running SABRE with stealth mode on in WordPress stops 100% of our bot registrations and I just point bbPress at that. If you disable registration with either .htaccess or changing the function, it’ll put a complete stop to any registrations on the bbPress side, so you shouldn’t need any spam protection besides that unless you let unregistered users post. bbPress comes with Askimet installed anyway though.

@dragunoff, upgrade to the latest bbpress version

There are several topic about custom fields, try a search and check this one:

or try some other free hosting with php/mysql enabled

Setting up a forum for a university discussion course and can’t seem to find where to set up custom registration fields. For instance, I’d much rather have students’ student number and course number than their website and location. Where is the template file to change this? Or do I have to go into the core files? (I have a limited amount of experience with WordPress and none with bbPress.)

Cheers.

Registrations are enabled via my wpmu for now, but this will be disabled after I launch the site. You won’t get 100% security of course, but at least it would decrease unwanted user registrations. I’ll check some bbpress plugins due to spam protection.

@pixelgirl Give me your forums’ link and I’ll see if I can register ;P you might still get spambots if they work out how to spam bbPress forums. Brutally brutal way would be to change $_POST && 'post' == strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) in register.php in bbPress’ base directory to false, which would turn off processing for any data passed to the register page.

[pixelgirl]

I closed the registrations the brutal way. I removed all <form></form> in register.php and added a message instead. Quick and dirty, but effective since I’m using bbpress with wpmu+buddypress, so users don’t need to register in the forums.

Hello.

I’ve just finished translating bbPress 1.0.2 into Latvian. Everything is fine, although it bothers me quite a bit that the installation is still in English.

Is there a way to change this so that also the installation process is in Latvian?

Thanks

I guess you mean you have WordPress.com blog then, as opposed to one on a server? You could try something like what’s being offered here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/free-hosting-for-bbpress

[villazadi]

HI

i dont really have a server where i can upload bbpress, but i have a wordpress blog. is there a possibility to upload bbpress on my blog?

[pixelgirl]

Hi all,

I am running wpmu, buddypress along with bbpress. After deep intergration, Everything works well, except that the theme in my forum doesn’t look the way I want. I want it look like my own theme I use for buddypress, with the header, navi and footer. The Rest can still be adjusted with css, that’s not the big deal, I’d use the default bbpress theme as a base to do that.

I have tried ThemePresss, but it would mess up everything, not show the buddybar and the link to the forums. Is there any other way to make my forums look the way I want?

Thnx in advance,

pxlgirl.

Can anyone help me. the forum can be found at: http://www.cnc4.co.uk/forum

But keeps redirecting to the installer!!

[Ivaylo Draganov]

this version does not work correctrly on bbPress 0.9 branch. I get these PHP Warnings:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for bb_get_topic_tags(), called in /.../forum/my-plugins/bb-seo-tools.php on line 102 and defined in /.../forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1058

It’s throwing up 301 Moved errors so I’m wondering if it’s messed up your .htaccess file or something. Where did you install bbPress under? Also, what integration plugin? What version of bbPress did you install? By the way… your version of WordPress has a gaping security hole, UPGRADE!

[johnhiler]

In your config file 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

[donofthedead]

After loading and installing and settling up bbPress, including cookie integration, I cannot do anything on the associated/linked site. Archive listings work, the main page works. But for anything else it seems to go into this infinite redirect to itself. The site is http://www.zombiezonenews.com and it now no longer functions.

One catch, possibly, is that I did not load the integration plugin to WP first. (And now I can’t login or anything to activate it) I’m lost.

[wsokc]

At last its solved, I follow ur idea and its works.

First I upgrade it the old database to the latest bbpress, then I import it for each table manually, the tags located in bb_terms.

Thanks Anyway.

GoDaddy is a bit tricky… maybe this will help?

I have and I’ve called them twice to make sure. Not sure what else to do at this point? I know all that info is correct. Not sure what could be the problem. They will not support bbpress.

Help! I am using Go Daddy and I’ve already installed bbpress in the subdomain file of my directory. when I go to the site, it does show me the installer but when I enter the info it says there’s a problem connecting to the database. I’ve called Go Daddy to make sure that the database name and password I’m entering is correct. Can anyone help with this?

[krepta8]

I just finished installing and integrating a setup of WordPress MU 2.8.4a, BuddyPress 1.0.3, and bbPress 1.0.2. Everything seems to have gone fine, except I cannot seem to access the Plugins page under the bbPress Admin menu. When I click it, it directs me to …/bb-admin/plugins.php which loads only a blank white page. Also, bbPress does not seem to recognize any themes placed in the “my-templates” folder and so I am forced to place them in the core “bb-templates” folder. Because of the plugins.php problem, I cannot tell if it will recognize plugins placed in the “my-plugins” folder, as I cannot access the plugins page to find out.

Does anyone know what could potentially be going on? Any suggestions for fixing it? Thanks in advance.
