Here’s the link to the theme we’re using.

http://www.refueled.net/free-bbpress-themes/

I just tweaked the style sheet and the width of columns.

We were using simple:press but it was so slow and bloated. Our load time on pages throughout the site was 3+ seconds with simple:press installed. With bbpress, it’s 0.5 seconds or less. Thank you bbpress!

Hey eagano… is your plugin available in a regular WordPress 2.7.1 version?

Hi refueled,

This is an old post, but here goes. I just launched a website that uses the bbPress Misty Morning theme and have found that gravatars aren’t working. However, they are working on the WordPress side of the site. Trent wondered if it might be theme specific, so I figured I’d ask to see if you’ve seen gravatars working in the theme. Note, I’m not wanting to change the theme at this point since the site is live (and married with the MistyMountain WP theme). The site is http://www.bikemccall.com and my original thread is here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/avatarsgravatars-amp-version-10-alpha-6#post-25552

Thanks for your time.

I just finished installing Alpha-6 and integrating it with WP 2.7.1

It all worked great and users are shared.

There’s just one problem. All new users in bbpress are being

automatically set to “inactive” instead of “member”. Even the

keymaster in the forum has the word “inactive” displaying

(even when I manually changed it too on his profile).

Any ideas?

I have now fixed the Approve Registration plugin for bbPress 1.0a

as well as another bug it had with resetting passwords upon approval.

(it might also now work again with bbPress 0.9.0.4, untested)

There isn’t any site “larger than recommended” for bbPress

There is a bbPress site with nearly 2 million posts and another with 8 million users, so there aren’t any limits.

I’ll look at the approve plugin and see how hard it is to make work with 1.6

I used the Bozo plugin for a while, and even after I disabled and deleted it… one of my users was marked as a Bozo and her comments didn’t show up no matter what she did!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-all-bozo-data-from-my-database

I ended up having to run some queries suggested in that link above, I think. I can’t remember. But it was a huge pain, and now I avoid the Bozo plugin completely!

[johnhiler]

One user did this with a core hack:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum

Here’s a plugin based approach that got good reviews:

More on that here!

Good luck!

Can you still set users as Bozos in 0.9.0.4? I do not see the option now, but maybe it’s my theme.

I have an old copy of the Bozo Users plugin, but cannot find the documentation (the link is back to the bbpress.org main page) and nothing on the plugin author’s page. I don’t want to activate it if it might not play nice with 0.9.0.4.

I could really use this feature right now…

Thanks!

I am with a problem in to friendly URL.

Different from the wordpress that is possible to configure the base of the URL, I didn’t find that option in the bbPress.

My problem: I installed the forum in the directory /forum

When the user clicks in a category, the address is: myblog.com/forum/forum

and I wanted to alter for myblog.com/forum/category

Is it possible, without harming the system for future updates?

My version is 0.9.0.4

Thanks.

There are some auto-taggers for WordPress:

* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-auto-tagger/ – This one suggests posts on a per post basis

* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-calais-archive-tagger/ – This auto-tags your entire post archive

Both plugins could probably be ported to bbPress fairly easily…

Hi,

I’m about ready to launch a BBpress forum version 1.0 alpha 6, that’s integrated with WP 2.7. Everything is looking good, but I’m not able to get Avatars (specifically Gravatars) to display on the BBPress side. They’re showing up perfectly on the WP 2.7 portion of the site.

I’ve tested a bunch of different combinations in the BBPress admin just to make sure that a bit wasn’t flipped the wrong way. I’ve tried all different levels of Maximum Ratings, Show Gravatars (checked/unchecked) and even played with the default images. No luck.

Anyone have any suggestions? Is this a known issue with V1.a.6 by chance?

Thanks.

[bruinfelix]

I started with the ‘default’ buddypress theme, that comes with the package, as i may think it is more generic and easier to study on how things are done

And thats why i choose the ‘blue’ things ..

But, first thing first .. Just altering and tweaking the buddypress them a lot right now, and the next step whould be the bbpress theme, so it matches

[agitainment]

I’m trying to figure out a way to give users the option to select from a small number of pre-set avatars (say, five or six). As the admin, I want to be able to upload the avatars then give the users a choice, but I don’t want to allow users to be able to upload their own avatars to my site.

Does anyone know if bbpress already allows this (and how to accomplish it) or if there is a plug-in out there that allows for this (if it’s something like Avatar Upload, I’d need a way to turn off general uploading and only allow the admin to do the uploading)?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers!

Hi I am using wp 2.7.0 trunk (2.7.1) bbpress Version 1.0-alpha-6 Buddypress Core: 1.0-RC1 And I have the same problem. To try and resolve the issues I will show you the cookies for buddypress/wp and bbpress but instead of sharing the cookie I will call it “cookiestring”:

At bp/wp I have:

2x worpdress_logged_in_cookiestring at /

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins

wordpress_cookie string at /forums/my-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-content/plugins

wordpress_test_cookie at /

PHPSESSID at /

_utma at /

_utmb at /

_utmc at /

_utmz at /

at bbpress the I have the following cookies

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/my-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin

wordpress_cookie string at /wp-content/plugins

As you can see I have the same cookie string but I have a few extra cookies at buddypress.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Johan

Currently i’am working on a own BuddyPress theme, based on the original theme provided by the BuddyPress developers. And yes, it will include a matching bbPress theme

Hi mypop I followed your advice on buddypress. Thanks it all worked. Before I had mu 2.7 and I could unlock discussions and then allow it again. This created the forum etc. But when I upgraded to WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, all else as you have it, I could not follow the procedure. The only way was to delete the group and re-create it.

I am with Hostgator on a shared server.

My issue now is to find why my logins are not shared.

Gone of searching…

Setup should not be any different to the case where they are on the same server besides the obvious need to change the URLs in the admin area of BuddyPress/WPMU.

You will have issues if you can’t somehow share the same user database from these servers though or at least somehow replicate that data reliably to the bbPress server.

Hi!

I normally use VBulleting forum, several of my sites runs it but I algo use wordpress in some sites and for a new one I was looking for something in the middle betweeen forum and blog and I thing I got it with bbpress.

I know it isnt like WordPress but I like it.

To the point, in VBulletin I got a automatic thread tagger, it will add tags automatically to the posts, it works just fine, you can exclude words like TO, FOR, THE, etc.

I guess something like that is missing here. I dont know how to code it.

Tnx!

So, I get to be a newbie (it’s been a while …)

The problem: I did the integration, but in the bbAdmin area (where you determine the User Values), I merged the administrator of WordPress (uh, me), somehow, with a value that doesn’t have access to the ‘Settings’ link within bbPress.

Not sure how I did it, or how to fix it. But while I seem to be recognized as the ‘admin’ on bbPress, the ‘Settings’ tab is no longer visible.

Help!

Thanks guys,

Nate
