I see. Well, alright, you mentioned that having bbpress nested underneath wordpress is a less common method of installation. How should I go about reinstalling it in the usual manner?

Hello,

What I lover in this design (apart of its obvious elenage) is the “home” link.

For integrated WP/PP it would be cool if kakumei had the option of a home link -> to the WP install

I know it’s easy to add by hand, but I dont like tweaking themes (and files) because this makes updates always touchy.

Have a look here on how to exclude a forum from the front page loop, whilst keeping the post limit intact.

limit forums included in latest discussions

Note the core hack required to keep the paging numbers correct.

Maybe you then need to write another small custom query to bring out just forum 17, as I’m not sure you if you can have two loops. (perhaps the WP multiple loop info would give some insight into this: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops)

Ahh gotcha about the RSS feed syndication.

Didn’t know you used FeedWordpress and then another bbPress plugin to sync between the two.

Definitely not the best way to go about things, but a nice workaround!

Would be nice if there was a separate RSS syndication plugin that was native to bbPress, but that’s just wishful thinking!

By the way, I replied to your problem on the thread you opened.

Not sure I provided the right answer… but hopefully someone else can look at your thread and give a response!

I am having a similar issue as others. I have uploaded a renamed bbPress directory that I renamed forums. It is sitting in the root along with wp-admin, etc. Inside that directory are all the files and directories for bbPress including bb-Admin, etc. But when I attempt to go to that directory I get a 404 error inside my WordPress mu, as if it is trying to load a blog. The error is where the blog would normally be. I do have a wildcard set for sub-domains and wondered what that might do. Do I have to take WordPress offline to do the install? It certainly seems that WordPress is trying to handle the request since if I specify ./forums/index.php the index.php disappears before the 404 error. btw I am on WordPress MU 2.8.2.

Very nice work! Keep it up!

One thing I have an issue with is the first page; I want to make an own “Latest Discussions” loop with all forums EXCEPT one forum. And then an own “latest discussions” With only the entries on that one forum (It’s linked in RSS posts) on the same page.

Problem is When i used this inside the loop

//Show latest discussions with all forums except id 17

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 17 ) { ?>

codeblock

<?php } endif;?>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

//Show latest discussions but only forum 17

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<?php if( $topic->forum_id == 17 ) { ?>

codeblock

<?php } endif;?>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

The pagination gets an error (Shows me fewer posts than the actual limit), and I cant use the same loop (With different conditions) twice.. Then I get a blank page. :S

So how should I do? Have any Idea? Im not so used to the bbpress loop yet..

R-a-y: Thank you! The theme is a heavily modified version of Scoun.

Although I am soon to write a new template because of the css/html isnt that great on it.

Just my way of learning the ropes.

About the RSS feeds: I use feedwordpress plugin to feed it into my wordpress. In wordpress then, I put in some arguments to filter out the RSS feed so it won’t show up there. Somehow it still shows up in my WordPress RSS so I need to find a way to filter it out from the RSS too.

The RSS syndication plugin can hold a number of RSS feeds with alot of options and automatically post articles.

Then I use BBpress WordPress Synchronization plugin and when bbpress finds a new post in WordPress it automatically syncs and creates a post in one of my bbpress subforums.

Somehow i dont want all my stuff to go into BbPress so when I write some new article in WordPress I can choose manually wether to sync this to BbPress or not.

One thing I have an issue with is the first page; I want to make an own “Latest Discussions” loop with all forums EXCEPT RSS. And then an own “latest discussions” With only RSS forum.

Problem is When i used this inside the loop

I like it, it’s beautiful

Hi,

I see you use the Thesis theme. I have a matching bbPress theme here: http://ryuuko.cl/foros

If you are interested contact me through a private message here: https://buddypress.org/developers/detective

It’s been over a year since from scratch, I set up and integrated BBpress & WP installation. At first, the idea of having an forum and blog integrated sounded really cool because it was unique feature that no one else offered. Sometimes integration can be a hassle but once it’s up and running, so what?

Other than registrered members being able to post and comment seamlessly, what’s the benefit of having them integrated? I really don’t get it.

[sgchauhan]

chris, i want to be able to insert a first post on certain threads, which i feel need it.

actually, i have a specific idea i want to accomplish, and there are two ways that i can think of implementing it – one that would utilize both wordpress/bbpress – the other would just use bbpress.

chris, could you, or anyone else with extensive wordpress/bbpress knowledge, email me at wldct6[at]yahoo[dot]com so i can describe exactly what i want to do, and help me figure out the best way to do it?

thanks.

I am looking to have a custom BBpress theme made. The goals are fairly simple:

1. Optimized for 1024 pixels with a 571 pixel content area on the left and a 339 pixel sidebar area on the right.

2. Designed to have similar looking header to http://tastyminstrelgames.com with the same navbar + login

3. Place for me to easily update the navbar (a separate PHP file or knowing where the code is is sufficient)

4. Lightweight theme.

5. Do follow links inside of the forums (I think)

I think that is all I am looking for. Please contact me with proposals.

Thanks,

Michael

ps. avatars look a tad huge?

Yes, they do

[TonyVitabile]

I really like the sidebar that appears to the right of a post while you’re viewing it on the WordPress.org forums. Here’s a screen shot of said sidebar:

I’m a complete noob to bbPress themes. I’ve been able to get my WordPress them modified to work with bbPress, basically by taking a bbPress theme & modifying the stylesheet and pasting code from the WordPress theme into the bbPress files. But I don’t know how to create that sidebar. I figure there have to be functions you can call to do it, but what are they? Where are they?

Thanks for any help

Tony

[grassrootspa]

AWESOME! You the man, Sam.

Nice bbPress site, anandasama!

I was looking over your site and was wondering how you’re pulling in RSS feeds into one of your forums.

[dan90036]

I need to add the emails addresses (thus the domains of my sites) in gravatar and that solves the issue. It is elegant and beautiful bbPress

Thank you

Dan

[dan90036]

I have created a gravatar, I have the hash and the link but don’t know how to make it work in bbPress. I did look through the forum, installed the bb-avatar but it only creates my gravatar for anyone and playing with the settings in the bb-avatar and with the settings in Settings/Discussion in bbPress didn’t cut it.

What is the scoop here?

Thank you,

Dan

[TonyVitabile]

Not exactly a problem except I don’t know how to do this.

WordPress MU is in http:// <my domain>/worship/ folder.

BBPress is in http:// <my domain>/forums/ folder.

I have a page in my WordPress MU site that is called Forums. Right now, it displays a link to http:// <my domain>/forums/. What I would like to have happen is that users get taken to http:// <my domain>/forums/ when they click the link for Forums on the navigator bar.

This sounds like some kind of a redirect to me. Is that how this is done? How do I code it?

Thanks

Tony

[TonyVitabile]

It’s gotten weirder.

I noticed on the public, hosted site that removing the lines from wp-config that the bbpress integration plugin told me to add cleared the problem in Firefox. So I tried to do that on my local machine. Now I can’t log into WordPress or BBPress.

I’m confused & have no idea what to do. I can’t do anything with the local website using Firefox, which means I have to do my CSS tweaking on the hosted site. It’s easier & quicker to do it locally & upload a modified CSS file (or other files) to the host when I’m done.

Help! Anybody got any ideas they can share as to how to clear this issue?

Tony

I believe wordpress is trying to process the request because you have bbPress nested underneath WordPress which is a less common method of integration.

Try changing that .htaccess to this

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^forums/

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>



# END WordPress

Not quite sure I have that right but give it a go and let’s see.

If it doesn’t work try replacing the forums/ line with this one:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^forums/

Hi Guys..

I have just made a new plugin named Social It. The plugin is inspired from the wonderful plugin SexyBookmarks created by Josh & Norman for WordPress (and is almost the same like that)

It automatically inserts itself below the first post of the topic, but you can insert it anywhere on the forums. It will automatically fetch the appropiate feed link, description, etc.

It supports a variety of short URL sites to shorten links, I will improve this feature in the upcoming releases, like managing the links within the plugin itself, etc.

Please report any bugs you face, or request new features.

Here is the link for the plugin:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/social-it/

[TonyVitabile]

OK, this is weird. Just weird.

I’ve got WordPress MU running on <my domain>/worship/ (I’m building a site for a church). I’ve got BBPress running on <my domain>/forums/. I installed WordPress first then installed BBPress. Went though the BBPress set up & configured it to use the same cookie keys a WordPress. All is well.

I downloaded & installed the bbPress Integration plugin for WordPress. Enabled it. It spit out a bunch (shown below) of stuff it told me to put into my wp-config.php file. Which I did.

/**

* These defines are required for the WordPress - bbPress cookie integration to work correctly

*/

define( 'COOKIEHASH', 'blah blah blah' );

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.<my domain>' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

/**#@-*/

Everything works fine in Safari on my Mac, but when I go to Firefox, WordPress shows me as not logged in. I click on the Login link & I’m brought to the login page. I enter my user name & password, check off Remember Me & hit Log in. And I’m brought back to the login page again, with no error messages.

No matter how many times I try to log in, this keeps happening. And as I said, it doesn’t happen in Safari.

Any ideas?
