When I click the plugin filter and select more, I only see ~40 items in there.

Even the entire unfiltered list is less than 50 items and only one is labeled vanilla2.

So the 450 is from their own claim I guess, which must be unhosted plugins.

They also claim 300k people using it, which might actually be how many people have downloaded it, not using it, unless they have a “phone home” function.

They have a clean layout but their plugin structure is a bit confusing.

Hi Friends,

I am new to bbpress. I need to upgrade the version of bbpress.

We are using bbpress forum and blog.(mainly forum)

I read the upgradation document on the bbpress site.

It seems quite simple.

But I have some doubts.

1. Do we need to bring down the mysql database while upgrading?

2. What will happen to the current posting on the forums after upgrading? (Do we need to take any additional step to keep the old postings)

Pleasee help.

Regards,

Arumon

I did have the same problem but in different context where I never wanted to dive into the code because the theme I was making was to be used by someone else and thus I just wanted the person place it and activate it and it should worked rather then him diving into the code and replacing the files.

In the end what I did was , as BBPRESS 1.0+ supports the use of functions.php in theme files . so i just copied the function from the function.bb-template.php and changed the funciton name a bit and then replaced it in theme files.

Example : like “You must login to post.” is in post_form function in function.bb-template.php file. I copied the function to functions.php in my bbpress template. renamed the function from post_form -> post_form_edited and made the replacements I wanted and then in my theme files where ever it was using the old function of post_form() i replaced it with my new edited function post_form_edited().

like in your functions.php after you copy the post_form function and change it to post_form_edited you can find the line “__(‘You must log in to post.’),” and change it to anything you want. And use the new function in your theme. Like this you won’t have problems upgrading the bbpress installation too in future.

then I dived in the theme files and replaced all the post_form() with post_form_edited() and voila it worked. But in my case I knew what I was using like the plugins and stuff and thus i tested it with everything first.

I hope this helps you out . Some of the stuff I told above has been applied to the postform in http://forum.ubuntu-in.info.

Thanks greikg for the response.

Can you please guide me as to which file is this function to be removed from?

thanks

[richcon]

Is there any way to replace that “You must log in to post.” text that appears to non-logged-in visitors with a more friendly login / registration form?

I’m a pretty skilled PHP coder and theme author, but from looking through the bbpress source that line seems to be hard-coded? I’m hesitant to start mucking with bbpress’s core files themselves (makes upgrading a pain), so is there any way to change that with a plugin?

Thanks!

I paid for BBPress integration with WPMU from wp.mu and I don’t think the job was done right…but I’m hoping it’s an easy fix.

All of the files exist, but I get this message ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

Any thoughts?

[gerikg]

at WPMU told me to check the error log, how do I do that on BBpress?

[gerikg]

Did you post the same question reversed on their forum?

I read some of their forums talking about it should be a easier integration with WP. There might be some plus side to it but in my case I’m already on WPMU and BP and their not up to that yet.

Sorry.

I meant I wanted to pull the latest replies for topics (bbpress, not wordpress) into my sidebar.

[Marius-]

Nah, I’ve been sitting up all day long the last few days, editing the look of bbpress. I’m gonna use it.

[unholyfruitbat]

Bleh, I found the cause, it was the previously mentioned ‘ in the forum name or description.

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ’em’, ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘646’, ‘6973’)’ at line 1 [1064]

I’m using phpBB 3.0.4 and bbpress 1.0.2, MySQL 4.1.22

Am I going to have to upgrade MySQL to complete this?

[gerikg]

Whatever variation of requiring wp-blog-header.php makes the whole screen blank.

I guess no one here supports WPMU & BBpress theme integration?

All the sites I seen that has the integration the top is just HTML, no login form/status etc etc.

[Archie Webmaker]

@Ipstenu,

I know it is standalone app. but can’t there be a bbpress forum plugin version for wordpress users?

[Archie Webmaker]

I follow the http://labs.b5media.com/ and I leaved the buddybar portion.

I successfully install and place the wordpress header and footer in bbpress theme. Than I copy rename bbpress theme style.css to forum.css and place it on wordpress theme directory and put an import function in wordpress style.css. The forum frontpage looks fine but not the others pages/post.

How do you guys do it to look exactly like the wordpress theme eg buddypress site?

I want to place the buddypress nav bars in bbpress forum theme. How do I do it?

[Marius-]

Would be real cool if it was a plugin though. That way I could make it as a normal page, instead of recreating a whole new template.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Because bbPress isn’t a plugin, it’s a stand-alone application.

[Archie Webmaker]

Like buddypress, why not bbpress come as a plugin easy to install forum?

Back in the day, I always saw it as bbPress vs Vanilla.

Vanilla 2.0 is out, as is bbPress 1.0. Vanilla seems to be going in really good direction right now and a lot of excitement is happening.

Vanilla – Project Page

They now offer a hosted service, similar to WP.com

Vanilla – Hosted Service

They also have something like 450+ plug-ins / add-ons

Vanilla – Plugin/Add-on’s

As such, how does Vanilla 2.0 now compare to bbPress 1.0? (please, only compare Vanilla 2.0 to bbPress 1.0 – if you haven’t used either product lately, this won’t be a fair comparison)

[_ck_]

Some bug fixes and additional features have been added to 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

For those that know how to download them off svn/trac and read the changes on trac, we’d appreciate some testing before a wide release tomorrow.

http://trac.bbpress.org/timeline

Notable on the 0.9 are my fast recount functions that will really help large sites, be sure to backup your db “just in case”.

[Sam Bauers]

Make sure you update the settings in the bbPress Integration plugin as well and then copy the new code it produces into wp-config.php

[Caramboo]

I use _ck_’s Hidden Forums plugin to do what you ask:

[qayqay12]

Hi,

I had the exact same problem and found a solution after investigations:

Bbpress knows it is integrated to wordpress so it set both its own cookies and the WP cookies. But on the other side, WP does not know bbpress is integrated so it only set its own cookies and forget to set BBpress cookies as well.

How to fix it will you ask…

Well, install this plugin in WP:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

And voilà ! Just logout and re-login after the plugin installation to make it work.
