I’m having major trouble trying to get my wordpress navigation bar onto my bbpress board.

Can anybody provide a step by step tutorial for me? I would be forever grateful

@tommiehansen: You’re right about the RSS feeds. Strange… I will look into it. Broken RSS feeds are not OK!

However, my time units are translated and the translation file definitely includes translation of those. You seem to have customized the Kakumei theme for your forum – are you sure that the months etc are wrapped in the translation function; __() or _e()?

What theme are you using and what version of bbPress?

[Jason Giedymin]

Trac Posted: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1159#preview

I’ll try to update it when I have time.

Btw, I had the trac ticket entry properly formated but alas It was raw text formatting which got stripped upon posting by the server. Sorry

[mattlay]

I thought I had read they are working to make them integrate, navigation wise, does anyone know if this is a current priority or something that will occur further down the road?

At least they both use the same theme layout. This should make the process easier (easy is relative). I would love to be able to use a single theme and have it applied to my forum.

I use the Kakumei theme in bbPress 1.0.1. The forum is linked to a web site and I want to use the same colors, light green #ccff99 and dark green #003300 for the forum. I managed to change most but cannot change the header. As can be seen at http://www.32astolf.se/forum/. What part of style.css that direct the color of the header I do not understand. Please help!

I tried to use the Webe Developer add on for Firefox and when I chose CSS-> Edit CSS there I saw a version of the page as I want it but I cannot understand how to get there!

If some bbPress guru would take an hour and write down and share with us all I am sure more beginners than myself would be very grateful for a list of where in style.css you change to get the colors you want.

I looked at the Kakumei Blue but did not understand how to make a correspondent file for green or brown or other colors. I suspect this would be easy to write if you know how to. Please do if you can!

Make bbPress fonts of backend minimum to 12px. And fix fonts style from inherit to normal. So bbPress can display chinese (not only chinese) better.

该插件主要的用途，是那些将 bbPress 后台汉化为中文或其他双字节语种的用户。它将会把后台的字体大小控制在最小 12px，并且将原有的斜体文字变成正常字体。这样，后台在现实中文的时候就不会出现字体过小看不清楚的现象了。

现在将该插件做成了两种方式。一种是以正常的 bbPress 插件的形式发布。下载后需要将插件目录上传到 bbPress 根目录的 my-plugins 目录中，然后在后台插件管理页面进行启用。这样，即使后台为英文状态下，也可以把后台中出现的中文进行美化。另外一种是做成随语言包自动启动的方式。下载后，将 php 文件上传到语言包目录中。这种方式只有激活了相应的语言包时才会生效。

由于 bbPress 每次更新，也许会涉及到 CSS 样式表的修改。所以该插件存在一定的针对性。也就是说不是总向下兼容的。所以，插件发布的时候，会把对应的 bbPress 版本标识出来。各位可以从插件的版本号上看出来。例如：1.0.1-1 标识针对的 bbPress 版本为 1.0.1，而后面的“-1”标识是第一个修订版本。以后发布的“1.0.1-2”，“1.0.1-3”等等都是对应的 bbPress 1.0.1。只是插件作出了某些修改。只有前面的版本号变了，才表示对应的 bbPress 版本发生了变化。

Anybody can translate this topic to english? THX…

[Tommie Hansen]

Good day,

There is a topic about this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done?replies=18#post-41386

I can’t get it to work properly with bbPress 1.01 though.

[Tommie Hansen]

Hm, this doesn’t seem to work that well with bbPress 1.01 unfortunately. Posting new posts seem to go to hell and it just redirects one to FORUM-URL/

Any updates?

Forum:

IIS is configured for several websites, each with it’s own ip address allocated. The URL I’m using to configure bbpress is http://newintranet.savethechildren.org.uk/forums/bb-admin/install.php

The ‘newintranet’ website is allocated ip address 10.1.10.49

The mysql settings in the bb-config file is as follows:

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’);

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘Forum’);

// the user Forum has been granted all privileges to the bbpress db

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘Forum’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// mysql is installed on the same IIS server listening on ip 10.1.10.53 standard port 3306

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);

There seemed to have been some earlier discussion on editing the permalinks structure of bbpress (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum), and I’m wondering if things are different in version 1.01.

What I would like to be able to do is have all of the posts look like domain.com/g/post-name. The reason for this is that I have a vanity url, with the idea that the complete url will spell out a sentence.

So far, the best I can do is domain.com/g/topic/post-name. Is there a way to either get rid of the “topic” part of the permalink structure, or otherwise hardcode it to be “g” isntead of “topic?”

Thank you.

What version of bbPress are you using? Those instructions are for 1.0.1. Also, are you using a stock theme?

Basically, you need to find, in whatever template file you want to change, the bbPress function that shows that text (it won’t be immediately clear because the function has a default text which is used if you don’t send it anything else. The default text is set in the core file bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php.) Just look in the source of the generated page and try to get some context for where in your template file this function will be (top, middle, bottom, in a table cell, near a unique css id, etc). Then, try adding your text in comments inside the parentheses, instead of them being bare. So, from this:

bb_do_whatever()

to:

bb_do_whatever('Add New Essay')

[chrishajer]

2. of my reply covers your second problem.

<?php bb_new_topic_link('Add New Essay'); ?>

bb_new_topic_link is called without parameters in your front-page.php template file, but if you pass it the string ‘Add New Essay’ you will see the text in your displayed site change. You are overriding the default text which is in the bbPress core.

The reason you don’t find it in a template file is because it’s not there. The function is there, and is called without parameters. The default text is in the core, but you can override it in your template.

1. I cannot help you with and I questioned the desire to even do something like that. Why would you want an “add new” page indexed when it has no content? What benefit does it give your site?

I imagine you could probably do something to change that using mod_rewrite and your .htaccess file, but I don’t know how to do that.

[r-a-y]

I’ve fixed my problem.

Turns out my bbPress xmlrpc.php was the wrong filesize.

I uploaded the xmlrpc.php from the release package and now all is fine and dandy again!

[mdtreo]

still no luck. i created the “forums” folder and i go to http://mydomain.com/forums/bbpress for the installer. all i’m entering is the direct info for database name and user name. for instance, database name is mydatabase12345678 (this is the name my host set up) and my user name is the same as the datbase name. i then enter the password and i get the same error. a note, my site is url is http://mydomain.com/wordpress. i don’t know if having it located at the wordpress folder makes a difference or not. regardless, i don’t know what move to make next.

[jdschu]

I’m using _ck_’s plugin and I’m running bbpress 1.0.1

[johnhiler]

Which read-only forum plugin are you using? And which version of bbPress are you on?

[jdschu]

I have both the read-only forum and private messaging plugins installed. They both work fine independently, but when I have them both activated (with regular users not allowed to reply in any forums) users without admin privileges cannot send private messages. They can receive them, but the “send pm” link says to login even when they’re logged in, and going to the pm page and clicking the link to compose a new message brings up a blank page.

I tried this with and without the security hack on the private messaging plugin.

Any idea how I could fix this?

[Paul]

I have a link to my forum in my global nav by creating an empty page with a slug that is the same as the directory name as where I have bbpress installed.

But I also load the wp-load.php file in my bb-config.php file

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wordpress/wp-config.php');

}

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // your wordpress db prefix is

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.trashfilmorgy.com/wordpress';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.trashfilmorgy.com';

Then I went into my bbpress theme and changed every instance of bb_get_header() with get_header(), and bb_get_footer() with get_footer().

Since I want to have my wordpress sidebars show up in the forum, too, I also added get_sidebar() right above the call to get_footer().

I could also add other sidebars, too – the theme I use adds two columns below the main content area and uses the dynamic sidebar functionality to add them in to each page. I could see how adding other or more sidebars and going in to the templates could be really useful

[TonyVitabile]

OK, I resolved this. I don’t understand why this worked like this, but here’s what I did.

I did a search on Google for “bbpress admin panel”. The very first results link I got back was to this article in the Troubleshooting forum. Turns out all I had to do was log out then log back in. Now everything works fine.

Thanks anyway.

Hi, I’m attempting to install bbpress on Windows Server 2003 Ent SP2, IIS6, MySQL 5.1.34 community, PHP 5.2.9-2:

I have followed this guide to installing & configuring PHP: http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html

Step 1 – bb-config.php succeeds

Step 2 – skipping wordpress integration as don’t have this installed

On clicking Goto Step 3, the installation doesn’t get anywhere and the browser returns:

“Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:

You are not connected to the Internet.

The website is encountering problems.

There might be a typing error in the address. “

Any help please?

[TonyVitabile]

I have a website on which WPMU is installed. I downloaded BuddyPress & installed it. I went to set up a group & I was told to download & install bbPress. So I did.

I originally installed it in the bbPress folder, and I went through the install process. Then I decided I wanted the folder to be named forums, so I ended up deleting the bbPress folder. I used phpMyAdmin to remove the bbPress tables from my WordPressMU database. Then I created a forums folder, copied bbPress into it & went through the setup process again. Everything completed with no errors.

I set up the integration of database & cookies with WordPressMU. No errors were reported.

I can go into the one forum that the install process created & I can read it. Haven’t tried adding any posts to it or replying to the one post it created. I did, however, try going into the Admin page. It won’t open. I just keep getting sent back to http://churchonhigherground.org/forums/.

Any ideas?

Tony

Hi there,

Since I see a lot of activity about Tiny MCE recently and I needed such a plugin myself, I have created a simple Tiny MCE integration:

http://www.longwindyroad.com/2009/07/19/bbpress-plugin-tiny-mce-3-2-5/

It installs all the necessary hooks in once place and is easy to upgrade.

[_ck_]

bbPress is NOT a plugin. You do NOT add it from your admin panel.

You install it as a separate program.

[cederholm]

I just followed the installation wizard:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

What do I do wrong?

Sincerely,

Carsten
