First: Thanks to all developers and coders for coding and working on bbpress and specially to ck for great plugins.
So, I have installed bbpress 0.9.0.2 installed (http://spinus.info/forum) and Topic Icons plugin 0.0.5
Trouble: sticky topics are displayed only on front page in “latest discussions” field. If I try to open a sub-forum, where sticky topic is situated in separate window, a topic is not visible.
So, there is a sticky topic: http://spinus.info/forum/topic.php?id=102&replies=1
You can see it in a latest discussions field as sticky.
But if you would open its parent forum http://spinus.info/forum/forum.php?id=30
Sticky topic is not shown 
what’s a matter? Please, HELP!!!
It’s definitely possible to integrate bbPress with outside authentication systems!
There are some great posts about it here… it mentions that there are four places to tie into bbPress’s auth:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-with-non-wp-software
What bulletin board system are you using? Maybe you could write a bbPress plugin to call your outside avatars inside of bbPress…
Just install my bbpress theme switcher plugin, disable the dropdown.
Then replace function bb_ts_get_theme() {
with something like this (untested, will need some editing)
function bb_ts_get_theme() {
$theme="kakumei"; // default fallback
$domain=strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
if (strpos($domain,"first-domain.com")!==false) {$theme="1st-theme";}
if (strpos($domain,"second-domain.com")!==false) {$theme="2nd-theme";}
return $theme;
}
I’ve now made a full plugin that uses cookies so any user can switch languages.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-language-switcher/
You can set a cookie and make it semi-permanent.
Because there is also a filter in that function, you do not need to hack the core.
$locale = apply_filters('locale', $locale);
You would make a mini-plugin something like this
add_filter('locale', 'language_switcher');
function language_switcher($locale) {
if (!empty($_REQUEST['lang'])) {$locale=substr(strip_tags(stripslashes($_REQUEST['lang'])),0,30);}
return $locale;
}
You still have to write the code to make some kind of pulldown/menu to select the language and set the cookie.
There is a language switcher for wordpress that could be ported to bbPress, I think there was some talk about it around here and someone else made their own too.
Oh here it is:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-languages
im getting the same error, but the reference above (chrishajer’s) doesnt help.
iv looked everywhere and the documentary, it just shows for WP functions to go in bbpress… i need a vice versa
There is a mini-plugin for i18n usersnames.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/diacritic-letters-i-username-like-goran#post-14205
But there are fundamental flaws in how bbPress uses usernames and unicode characters might interfere with proper operation.
I also don’t see any real attempt to sanitize in there, so there might be security risks.
i just want to add bbpress functions to wordpress what header files do i have to include where?
how can i use bbpress functions like: – <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?> in my wordpress theme?
what header files do have to add where?
please dont delete this topic.
What type of servers are you talking about?
And, you might want to turn off permalinks until you’ve set them up. That might be your 404 error:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
i would like to know how to do the other way round of adding BBPRESS functions in wordpress.
I have two problems after I have installed bbpress 0.90.4 .
1, when I registered new user in server for testing, it can’t sent a email, so I can’t get a password.
2, the forum only run in my server computer, user’s computer got 404 error after registered and click the button. Why doesn’t run in user computer?
How to fix these problems?
HI sway,
I dont think it does work like that. It’s a confusing name choice as a Category means something different in wordpress. Category in this instance means and equivalent of “section” or a parent group of forums so…
Category
– – Forum
– – – – Topic
– – Forum
– – – – Topic
– – – – Topic
– – Forum
– – – – Topic
If i can link to an old example i made (from September last year) , you can see that the different categories have forums as ‘children’: http://kevinjohngallagher.com/___alpha/bbpress_as_phpbb/
Someone can help me with this error? It appears immediately after installation! I dont understand what it means. I will appreciate if someone know this issue.

I re-installed 0.9.0.4.

I really want you to help me..
Our developers heavily customized bbpress. But now I can’t seem to figure out how to delete threads from the admin. Can someone please send me the steps for deleting a thread from the admin? Thanks.
According to Sam, bbPress supports unicode display names, not unicode usernames:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-out-this-very-nice-r-t-l-arabic-bbpress
Not sure about future versions, but it sounds like version 1 isn’t gonna support unicode usernames…
thanks.
ps:
I created a ticket in trac yesterday about this topic, but it has been deleted today.
I don’t know why.
The reason the language does not match up is because .0.9.04 is not cookie compatible with WordPress 2.7.1. That’s why the keys are named differently.
To integrate those two versions, there are a couple solutions:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bayanimecom-wp26-and-bbpress-09-complete-cookie-integration
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17409 (the bold parts)
You might think this is another question about integrating bbPress with WordPress, but it’s not! I’m building a new website, and I would like to use bbPress as the support forums for it. The website has it’s own users table and stores the usernames as a varchar(255) and the passwords as varchar (255). All passwords are stored as sha1 hash. Basically what I want to do is to only have one place to login, that being on the main site, when the login is successful it’ll also set a cookie so the user may also use the bbPress forums. I would also like to use the avatar people upload to that site for the avatars on the forum. So here’s a few questions:
1. Is this even possible to set the cookie for bbPress from the login outside of bbPress?
2. Where should I start looking or poking?
3. For the avatars where should I start looking?
Thank you very much and if you need more information about my setup, please ask!!
Hello!
I have one question about the integration. I have already installed WP 2.7.1 and freshly installed bbpress 0.9.4
I have a little misunderstanding
Your step-by-step instructions says I need to change in bb-config.php the BB_SECRET_KEY and make it same as SECRET_KEY in my wp-config.php.
My problem is the WP 2.7.1 don’t have the SECRET_KEY It has SECURE_AUTH_KEY, AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY and NONCE_KEY
Which KEY I need to put in bb-config.php on a BB_SECRET_KEY?
Here is what I was trying to get some kind of multi-language support going:
Index: bb-includes/l10n.php
===================================================================
— bb-includes/l10n.php (revision 2040)
+++ bb-includes/l10n.php (working copy)
@@ -2,6 +2,9 @@
function get_locale() {
global $locale;
+ if (isset($_GET))
+ $locale=$_GET;
+
if (isset($locale))
return $locale;
Then I go to: http://bitfreedom.com/help/?lang=ja and it supplies that language. Great, but of course none of the links that bbPress generates has the ?lang=en_US option set. So I guess, is there a plugin for this?
I’m not looking for (but would be better than nothing):
Something that lets a user set their language, and changes the language when logged in.
I am looking for (ideal plugin):
Something that allows multi-language support by virtue of URL location and/or variable (as above). What language you are viewing makes more sense to depend on the URL, not on your login. Especially, since forums are also useful to the public when they don’t have a login to begin with.
Even just being able to set the language on a per-forum basis would be good, then I could just make different forums for different languages.
I guess I can modify my theme to include “language translation” links and keep my current hack.
Any ideas?
It’s possible because I was testing it on 1.0 that 1.0 automatically escapes the mysql values passed and that 0.9 does not. I can’t remember.
Try adding this before the $bbdb->query
$pmtitle=mysql_real_escape_string($pmtitle);
$message=mysql_real_escape_string($message);
and see if it helps or if it just add slashes to your text instead and breaks it.
It may also be a quote problem but I thought the bbpress pre/post text filters should encode quote or any other problematic characters.
