I have the latest releases of each I beleive:

bbpress 1.0.2

buddypress 1.0.3

and I followed these instructions as close as possible I believe.

http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu,_BuddyPress,_and_bbPress

It did not work, I have actually tried differenct variations 4 times now. When I was at the last part I got locked out of bbpress and could not log back in. That is where I am now in this issue. please assist.

It would be so tight if you guys made a bbPress MU!

Thanks so much for this tho.

Sorry, cannot agree.

1. Ive done a little survey, and it showed that often people dont participate in forums only because they have to register, and they don`t like it.

2. Most of my users are not very computer-literate.

3. Also you have to keep an ugly technical sticky post for as long as the last user changes password.

Not so nice imho.

Hi there,

So I saw the forum-is-category plugin but it doesnt work on bbpress version 0.9.0.6. It still makes a link for a category. Also that is not exactly what I want. I want to mock like proboards or phpbb as far as separation. Now I would upgrade to 1.0 of bbpress to utilize the separate category sections, however dozens of plugins have yet to be updated. I am talking about more than one main theme type of thing:

Section 1

Forum 1

Forum 2

Section 2

Forum 1

Forum 2

See what I am getting at? I hope the future of bbpress implements all the plugin ideas with abilities to change them, turn them on and off etc without the use of plugins…just have it all built in.

Yes, you can do this with certain avatar plugins.

There are several avatar plugins that I’m aware of – which one do you want to use?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/avatar

I use Avatar Upload… it lets you upload avatars for users if you’re an admin. It’s a little tricky to setup though…

[johnhiler]

You might be able to pull this off with Display Names?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/

It’s built into the 1.0 core, if you’re on bbPress 1.0+.

Is it possible to allow for / in usernames?

I recently converted my phpbb board to bbPress, but one of my members had a username that looked like ///Abcd.

So as opposed to forcing him to change his username, is it possible to dig into the code and allow /’s for usernames?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum!

For what it’s worth, I don’t think the non-working password “issue” is such an issue at all.

All that one has to do is inform their members that they will need to prompt the board for a password reset, and then they can reset their password to whatever they like (including their old password).

It takes all of two minutes for each member to reset their password. Of all the inconveniences associated with switching forums from one architecture to another, this one seems to me to be so minor it is hardly worth mentioning.

Is there such a thing?

[johnhiler]

I think it was the login.php file.

Definitely don’t edit any pages in bb-includes… create a /my-templates/ folder as described here!

https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

[johnhiler]

I did this on a bbPress install recently… but rather than doing anything tricky programmatically, I just changed the links in the theme.

It worked great!

You’re not alone on this.

Lot’s of discussion about this at: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/covert-wp-super-cache-plug-in-for-bbpress

Currently, no caching plug-in exists

@joshmac

Would you mind describing how you we able to do the deep integration to get WP SuperCache to work with bbPress.

I have forum on phpbb, is it good idea to change engine to bbpress?

This forum is quite big, 500k posts, 15k users,

Is bbpress is faster than phpbb?

Speed and security is most important thing for me.

[klimatyzacja-katowice]

Hello,

Im looking for good cache plugin to speedup my bbpress.

Is there any good method to speedup bbpress?

Thank you.

[Chris2]

Do you know the tags name? I guess they are the same in all themes since they are created by the core of bbpress?

Nothing….

– bb-config:

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ” );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ” );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ” );

– wp-config: (if I define as ‘/’, browser says that cookies aren´t activated…)

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘kjdfkjhdsflhjnmnbvyuy65487dsfg521f’);

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ” );

Now, I can stay logging with different users in blog and forums…

Anything is wrong, but I don´t know what…

More ideas…??

P. Always delete all cache+cookies to test it…

P.D2: Testing…. from this form, I can´t access to the dashboard….. damn…

Hi.

I have added a bbpress to a wordpress. Everything works fine, but now I would like to change how the appearance is in the forum list on the front page. Right now I am not fully happy with that. I can see that the class is

either: <tr class=”alt”> or only <tr> which affects how each row is presented. But I can not find this in the style.css file. It drives me nuts…

Also where forums is presented I get the <bb-precedes-sibling bb-follows-sibling bb-root> and alt at the end. But where is it controlled how they look like?

Regards,

Chris

Hi once again,

could you please give us a hint on non-working passwords? Is it a real issue, or did we do something wrong?

As I see, we dont need to do anything with md5 insecurity for bbpress plugin - its already integrated?

phpbb3 password plugin is autoloaded.

Could it be problems with mysql version? Mine is 4.1.22

Thanks in advance,

Justas

[jeffhiggins]

You, sir, are a godsend.

I was having so many problems with my modded phpbb3. I had started off with a modded version (NEVER EVER DO THIS!), and it proved to be very unstable and equally insecure (extensive spam). Cookies also failed to work properly. In short, it was a disaster. I tried to revert to a clean install, and I was unable to. Ghost db tables kept breaking the clean installs (the forums can’t find x element, or y table, or z style), and so no one new could register, and there were broken links and tabs all over the place. It was a nightmare (which ironically enough kept me from having any because I’ve hardly had time to sleep trying endlessly to fix these broken forums).

After days and days of trying to transfer the database to a fresh install of phpbb3 (repeating the process over and over and over again), I realized that at the heart of the problem was a horrible architecture (phpbb3), and an utterly failed modification concept (an epic fail – basically the opposite of WP/bbPress plugins). If only there were a way to transfer the database from phpbb3 to bbPress! Maybe bbPress would snuff out all the corrupted db tables that were giving me such grief and corrupting each clean install of phpbb3! Turns out, that is exactly what happened. And it’s all thanks to your plugin – which literally saved my site.

The only “problem” area with was with forums that had ‘ in them (I “” problem because it was so fantastically easy it literally took about 2 minutes). I just renamed each forum to 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, and then changed them back in bbPress! Also, users password were not transferred, but that hardly matters!

Thank you so much! Do you have a PayPal account so I can donate?

What do I have to do on the BBpress side for it to call $before_widget . $before_title to work properly?

‘<?php

global $current_user;

echo $before_widget . $before_title . __( ‘Hi ‘. ucwords($current_user->display_name) ) . $after_title;

?>’
