Is there a way to have the bbpress forum show within one of the wordpress pages. I dont want my users to go from one site to another that looks different. I want them to stay on my blog yet do everything in the forum while still staying on the blog. is that possible?

These might give you an idea how to do it (or might just work for you).

From the FAQ:

Create a file called .htaccess in bbPress’ root directory. Put only the following line in that new file.

Options +MultiViews

Just upload a file like htaccess.txt with the line mentioned above and then use the FTP program to name it to .htaccess versus htaccess.txt (notice the dot before name).

WordPress is just thinking right now that you have a URL that doesn’t have an assigned page or post to it and it is getting screwed up! Try that one out!

What is my .htaacess file on my bbpress folder suppose to say?

And how can i create it if i have a mac?

I have my own server with theplanet.com

[Trent Adams]

It might be that the .htaccess file of wordpress is over-writing the one that should be in the bbPress folder /beta/. I have heard this can happen. Do you have the .htaccess in the bbPress folder? What host are you running? I think (without searching) that this was something on GoDaddy, but I am not 100% sure…..

I know nothing that would do it straight to bbPress, but one could be written based on the WP plugins like WP-AutoBlog, FeedWordPress or another Maggie based plugin.

I think the best bet would be to great a WP blog (hidden) that populates using one of the mentioned plugins and then a bbPress plugin like bbSync or bbPress-Post to pull the entries from WP into bbPress as entries.

It would be better to create a plugin that does it automatically, but if you don’t want to re-invent the wheel, that is the only solution I can think of right now.

I have wordpress installed in my main directory kicksonfire.com

I have installed bbpress at http://kicksonfire.com/beta/

for some reason when i click anything it takes me to teh 404 error page of my wordpress blog… wat can be wrong?

I installed the Restrict Registration for bbPress plugin. Every time I make a change to restrictions in the admin panel, all my Private Forums are reset to “Open to All.”

Plugin: Restrict registration for bbPress

Not sure where the problem lies (I assume with the restriction plugin), but thought I’d post it here just in case.

Hey.

I solved it myself.

As a matter of fact it was a http://www./no-www issue.

In WordPress my Blog-URL was http://cmscentral.de and after I changed it to http://www.cmscentral.de everything worked just fine.

In your config.php, make sure your “mod_rewrite” line says false:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Permalinks are not supported on your host, at least not right now. Change that line to false (maybe you have slugs or true there now?) and it should work fine.

If things work like that, you can figure out the proper mod_rewrite rules for your .htaccess file.

BTW – those are not real folders, they’re just URLs created by bbPress that look like folders. They won’t be in the filesystem.

[chrishajer]

There is a plugin for WordPress but I haven’t seen one for bbPress.

Does any of this help?

Hello there!

I have a website with a Wp install. I made a folder called “forum” so I could add a forum to this site. I made another MySQL database ( I already have one for Wp) for BBpress and write the user, pass,etc of the new SQL in the config.php file and here starts the problems.

1) I got the famous problem with the lost letter “i” in the line 80. Solved.

2) Then I get two more errors:

2.1: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-admin/install.php on line 10

and 2.2:Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1898

I try continue the installation and everything goes well, but The forum is not working. I mean. I can´t log out as the admin,I get the error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

If I post a new topic, I go to the write new topic windows , but when I send It; get an error :Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 164

The strange thins, is that all those post appears in the general window!! but I can´t acces them. I get an Error 404 File not Found. The same error if I try to see my profile as admin.

The BBpress installation has a lot of problems!!!. It´s not any easy..

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, i’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but here goes:

I’m developing a new site in ASP classic and would like to use bbPress as a discussion board on this new site. The new site will have it’s own login and registration but I would like to enable single sign on for both services.

The proposed solution for this is on registration, register the user on my site then process a registration for bbPress using the same details. Similarly, on logon I will have a script to logon to an ASP session and then to a bbPress PHP session. (both my site and the bbPress forum will be on the same domain).

Heres the question. How can I do this? Is there a page I can submit form information to (using AJAX or similar) on registration? Is there a page I can submit login information to to write a PHP session? I’m not very fluent in PHP so if someone could help me out here I would be very grateful.

I would like to have an “announcements” forum in my bbpress installation. All users should be able to see it and post in it but NOT create topics.

I’d settle for seeing it only. Is there a way to do any of this?

Wicked stuff on your google code page! Bookmarked! Many great plugins for bbPress and WP!

Here on the official forums usernames longer than 7 or 8 characters get cut off by the post form/area itself (see even my username here), a problem I’m also encountering using the replica ‘bbpress-forum’ template.

Has anyone come up with a possible hyphenation-wrap workaround? Or is it probably down to either just dealing with the truncation, swapping in a different template with a broader username column, or doing more involved design surgery on ‘bbpress-forum’ to make it wide enough to accommodate, say, 13-15 character usernames?

[mattpeckham]

For anyone that’s interested, if you set

margin-top: 35px;

…it lines up flush with the username line, just as it looks if you view you profile here on the official bbPress board.

[mattpeckham]

Fab Trent, that’s plenty close for now.

[mattpeckham]

Has anyone been able to get this working with the ‘bbpress-forum’ template (the one that mimics this forum) and bbPress 8.3? I had this working fine in my older install using the default template, but 8.3 seems to break things, and ‘bbpress-forum’ doesn’t have the post-form.php and edit-form.php files.

[Andrew]

I thought you were proposing changes to the core files. If so I was wondering if this should be put in as a change to the code database, which would mean submitting a bug to the BBPress Trac database.

[Trent Adams]

Not sure if they did or not, but it is pretty simple to change. Head to style.css and find the following:

#profile-menu {

list-style: none;

position: absolute;

right: 0;

}

and change to something like the following:

#profile-menu {



margin-top: -20px;

margin-right: -20px;

padding: 20px;

float:right;

}

Not perfect, but something to start from!

Trent

[mattpeckham]

Hey Trent,

Did anyone come up with a resolution for the original poster’s:

“When i click on “View your profile” the menu choices goes off way out to the right…”

Cheers,

Matt

Just grab the links to the individual forum pages then, and insert them into a WordPress page. You’ll have to maintain it manually, so if you add a new city you would need to add a new link to that WordPress page. I imagine there is probably a way with integration to use the bbPress functions in a WordPress page but I think that’s more work than it’s worth, especially if your list of cities is pretty much set.

Your WordPress page would be titled “Forum” then, and in that page would be the links to the individual forums. Then you might not even need front-page.php since you’d be navigating directly to the parent forums for each city. I think you would probably leave it there so if anyone navigated in the breadcrumbs to the next level ‘up’ they would still get a list of all cities, either links to the parents, or the way you had it set up initially with the long front page.

I am a dork!

I searched and searched – so I posted – and then I found this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-additional-tags-to-post

The detailed fix by Scott works – ye ha!

Isn’t it always the way?
