If you’re not comfortable changing folder permissions, than bbPress isn’t going to be a good solution for you. That said, I don’t know of any solution that supports plugins and is also drag-and-drop easy. It should be easy to do this stuff, but it’s not yet.

Like Chris mentioned, your best bet is probably to find someone nearby who can help you.

The WordPress podcast themeplayground has even raised this issue, and expressed the wish to see BBpress merge into the WordPress core… or at least become a plugin.

I’m so frustrated by the lack of true integration that I’m considering switching back to Joomla, and yet there’s a bunch of reasons I love wordpress so that would be a really sad day!

Joomla is a powerful CMS, has a blog, also has many thousands of plugins, and now has a powerful forum plugin called Agora!

As a plug-in it is truly integrated, has a growing fanbase in the Joomla world, tries to integrate all the important Joomla social plug-ins while also remaining a complete forum solution itself. AND the developer is truly MANIC in both his development AND in his support of newbies on the forum… I personally think the idea of one developer called “Hazzaa” is a myth and there must be a dozen of these guys all answering to the same name! “Hazzaa” will even log in to your site as admin and check the back-end stuff for you to see what’s gone wrong, and fix it for you! Madness, the guy is going to burn out.

Hello!

I’m a beginner in web business and now I do my first site. I do it on WordPress MU+ Buddy Press+bbpress.

To bbpress I decided to install some plugins.

I installed Avatar upload plugin, read instructions, did all.

But I bump into a problem.

On the User’s Profile menu is a tab Avatar. But if I push this tab I go to index page of my forum. There is not a page, where I can upload my avatar.

How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks

Look awesome…! Getting closer of the wordpress.org theme, unity… I like it !

[julienbechade]

Hi guys,

First of all, many thanks for your great work, you’ve made bbpress THE forum for wordpress & as his big brother, you offered infinite customization possibilities to us, users, developers & webdesigners.

Ok, that’s done, now I can ask my question…

I’m using Tinymce, for my users to post, with the advanced theme. The only problem is headings aren’t supported by bbpress. What can I do to change that ?

Thanks for your answers…

[johnhiler]

That plugin was written by _ck_ – she’s stated that she’s not going to update her plugins until bbPress 1.0 has had a chance to settle down… around December or so:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbcode-buttons-and-bbpress-smilies-not-working-for-me

If you’re in any sort of hurry to use her plugins, your best bet is to use bbPress 0.9.

[Ben L.]

I remember some “recent sticky” plugin that I’m pretty sure bbPress.org is still running.

[johnhiler]

What version of bbPress are you using? Many plugins aren’t compatible on version 1.0 yet…

[continuingproblems]

Hi!

I try to configure in bbpress (1.0.2) class.mailer.php but i do not know how. Next, I use this plugin http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/. Is this safty? This plugin work great, but it is the “old date”. What do you think about it?

[jqs]

Hey there, I’m setting up a new wpmu installation and want to provide a forum for my users. I think bbPress is the way to go but I’m confused a bit with regards to the authentication issues. Is there no mod/hack/plugin that will allow the forum to use the wp_users table directly?

I guess what I’m really looking for is a way to setup the integration whering a user will only ever see a single profile page and that it will allow them to edit their wp & bb options (incl bb plugin support). I think the notion of calling this ‘integration’ between wp & bb is worthless if a user has to manage two profiles.

Am I looking for the holy grail here, or is there a better way of setting this up? I want users to be able to sign up once, and be able to post comments on wp, and interact with the forum.

Thanks in advance.

[Gautam]

I think its also running Support Forum Plugin

[chrishajer]

Just edit the bbPress template file where you want the link to appear, with whatever text you want as the anchor.

If you mean links back to ALL the pages (like your WordPress page navigation shown on bbPress) please indicate that.

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/threaded-posts/

Not sure if that still works but that’s the only plugin I know of.

And threaded comments are built in to the latest version of WordPress, aren’t they? What does the plugin do?

[chrishajer]

It’s running Akismet, for sure.

Okay, after reading a lot of topics and fixing stuff, I got this to work. Will report bugs in time.

See these posts if you want to get it to work:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/emoticons-for-bbpress/page/3#post-21172

Also you need to change the header, or else you won’t see it in your plugins list. Change it into:

/*

Plugin Name: bbemoticons

Plugin URI: none

Description: Simple and plain smiley function for bbPress

Author: hiromasa

Version: 0.72

Author URI: hiromasa (http://hiromasa.zone.ne.jp/blog/)

*/

Also add this in the header, found it somewhere, I think it helps also.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”‘. bb_get_option(‘uri’) .

‘my-plugins/bb-emoticons.php?bb_grins_output=javascript”></script>

[chandersbs]

I don’t believe this website is using any plugins.

[gerikg]

you have to open two files from your BBpress template:

front-page.php

forums.php

look for the lines:

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?> — <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th> is the titles so you will most likely put “<th><?php _e(‘Author’); ?></th>” showing Author as the title. Just remember what order you put it on if you put it third then you need to put it third on teh enxt step.

Look for:

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

The class might be different but <?php topic_posts(); ?> is the same

so you put third:

<td class=”num”><?php topic_author(); ?></td>

I went ahead and dropped all the bb_ tables and went to re-install. I got this message:

“The key master could not be assigned. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.”

So, I uninstalled BBPress and uploaded a fresh copy and ran the install again. Sure enough, the install failed at the first step again with “The key master could not be assigned. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.”

How can I make the key master get assigned?

Im trying to complete instalation of the bbpress on my site but im stuck. theres a step where im supposed to go to the bp-forums folder and go to the bbpress-plugins folder and find the buddypress-enable.php file. this is where i get stuck. theres no such file on that folder. y idea what can i do to solve this inconvinience?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I doubt if its running any. May be some for occasional debugging purposes but nothing for added functionality. I would also like to hear what others have to say on this.

[johnhiler]

Is the site itself slow, or just the dashboard?

Also – try bb-benchmark to see how many queries there are, and how long the render time is:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-benchmark/

[unholyfruitbat]

Hello,

I recently converted phpbb3 > bbpress 1.0.2 and for some reason now the Dashboard form the admin panel loads really slow. It seems like a mysql issue but when I check the process list it doesn’t seem bad.

[chrishajer]

The 0.9 version of bbPress integrates with WordPress 2.7.1.

[eclipsenow]

Some above have mentioned “less is just less”… and for a non-hacker like myself, I agree. I’d like to see bbpress come “fully loaded”, at LEAST with all the basic features one sees in SMF and phpbb3 all ready to rock and roll “out of the box”.

FULL integration / merging with WP would be my pick. Then themers would have to work harder developing the bb into their themes for each WP “community portal” (What I’m calling the FULL WP / bbpress / buddypress / bbsync package).

I’ve also expressed my ‘wish list’ here.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/299017?replies=9#post-1175959

However, having said that I totally agree with the moderator above who said “So it’s something about the promise of bbPress that’s not yet been realized that gets people frustrated.” WordPress is way cool, and with a *truly* integrated bbpress portal system, it would rock the world and give Drupal and Joomla and SMF and phpbb3 a good run for their money! Imagine a Fantastico install of WP, and then just ticking some boxes and all the bbpress stuff was already there, “fully loaded” with all the options and ready to rock & roll?

Ahhhh, I’m a suckie Myer’s Briggs ENJF idealist… can’t help myself….

I took Tommies file and changed “position” to “plats”. The mo and po files with this change can be found at http://www.enkelwebbplats.se/bbPress-my-languages/sv_SE.mo.zip and http://www.enkelwebbplats.se/bbPress-my-languages/sv_SE.po.zip
