There is a new forum in town! It is for showing off your bbPress and how you have customized it! Let us know your URL, your theme, your plugins and anything else you want us to know! Go ahead, Pimp Your Press!

So go ahead everyone! Start a new thread for your site and everyone has the chance to comment on it!

Thanks to mdawaffe for this one!

Isn’t that entire ‘forum’ based on just normal posts and then using the rating plugin from mdawaffe? It can be done on bbPress if I am understanding it correctly. Just have an install that has the ratings plugin and then a template to display the items on the first page that have the highest rating or the most votes. Am I missing something? (I easily could be)

This will be a problem on installs until 1.0 comes out as it seems to be fixed in TRAC now. I left a comment on this issue as well:

Yeah,

I saw that, went back to the start, (everything is back to normal now) however everything is working except of logging through bbPress with my WP user, again once logge through WP, no problem ???

Any thoughts ?

P.S.

What did you mean by “…and then break it with tring to include WP content like the UTW plugin ” do you mean I should stop trying doing that

[so1o]

check this https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/588#comment:1

[Davor Dedic]

Q “Where do I put my plugins and custom templates?”

A “Plugins should go in a directory called my-plugins/ and every theme you upload should go into a separate subdirectory with a directory called my-templates/. Both of these directories should be in bbPress’ root directory (that is, the directory with bbPress’ config.php file in it).

[jpp3]

Do I need to create the plugins folder (my-plugins)? Where should it reside?

I currently have it in my root bbPress directory, but I don’t see it anywhere in the admin interface. Anybody care to help?

[Sushubh]

hmm the phpbb->bbpress did not work well with me the 2 times i tried it out. i will check it again.

[milhaus]

I just installed BBPress and everything seems OK, except non-english characters. You can see this problem on my installation. My configuration can be found at http://litomysl.org/bbpress/. I have no idea what it can be. I noticed, that this problem can be seen also through PHPMyAdmin.

Thanks in advance

I recently upgraded to the latest bbPress version. I was using a plugin which integrated my users with Worpdress previously (and would like to continue to do so).

Something went terribly wrong though on the upgrade. This version is now looking for users in the table bb_users, and it should be looking at the WordPress table. So now I cannot login even as admin because there’s nothing in the bb_users table! I’ve fine working in SQL, and I think all I need to do is add/modify some fields in the bb_users table.

So here’s my question? How can I upgrade the status of a user to administrator in phpMyAdmin? After I login, I can activate the WordPress integration plugin an be all set.

[Davor Dedic]

OK,

So I went around a bit and it seems at least for the error I was getting that the multiviews was the problem.

So with the help of extremely helpful http://www.adityanaik.com I was routed to https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

Another problem is that I can not login directly from the bbPress, of coarse there is no problem if I’m logged into the WP first, was this done intentionally or am I missing something ?

Thank you !

Hi I just created a new bbpress installation and I dont like my username.

Is there anyway to change it easily? It also happens to be the keymaster so I’m worried about deleting it and creating another user

[Davor Dedic]

Hi,

As I mentioned in the title I’m a novice to bbPress, but I love WordPress and have been using it for a while now, I’m a total enthousiast when it comes to webdesign and programming (to say I’m not great at it), just the other day I installed the bbPress on the my sub.domain.com and followed the instructions and changed the config files as recommended installed the WP & bb Plugins so that both sites could work seamlessly, somehow somewhere something went wrong, I do see the front page, I do see my WP users in the admin (and I only get there through a admin/meta link if I try to login through bbPress form fields I get an error), I do not see the topics, posts & plugins (even though I have couple of them in my-plugins folder) in the administration and when I click on anything on my front page I get an error like this :

// this one being for forum

“The requested URL /forum/1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

Did anyone experienced similar, or if not does anyone knows how to deal with this ???

Oh yes, in case you would like to have a look;

Any input will be great,

Thank you, Daddo

[bbolman]

As far as I can tell, there isn’t one, but you can always do it old fashioned ipb -> phpbb -> bbpress

[Trent Adams]

I have it so it works just like the forum here now. It just required a fix for the way the search form worked and the way the username and password forms were displayed. The profile links works the same as here. I am not sure what you want the profile to look like to be honest.

There is a wordpress plugin that might work out for you. Hopefully no real major changes for WPMU.

I’m trying to get a call from inside my wpmu install to show the last ten posts/threads from my bbpress install.

is there a simple way to get this ? (they are both stored in the same DB)

like <?php getlast10topics_bbpress ?> i’m really curious if this is possible.

thanks for any help

[michaelisc]

I have WordPress 2.1.2 and BBPress 0.8.1. They are (mostly) integrated. BBPress claims that <br> tags should work but they don’t. They are immediately converted to special characters and show up in the post as they were coded, i.e. “br” inside the brackets.

Also <li> atrributes (type=disk, circle, blah blah) don’t work. Same problem as above. Any clues?

[tquizzle]

davetropeano’s fix worked, although I had to dig a little to find out exactly what he was referring to.

You dont want to create a field but rather a row in the “bb_topicmeta” table.

I was able to check a working bbpress installation on Linux to verify the setting. I noticed that the bb_active_theme was set to use the full server path to the template folder. The below did the trick for me.

meta_id = next available number

topic_id = 0

meta_key = bb_active_theme

meta_value = /bbpress-path/bb-templates/theme-to-use/

Save that, cross your fingers and refresh your forum.

[Nola1974]

Reupload what though? I have completely reuploaded the full BBPress and WPMU packages twice. I’ve re-installed BBPress from scratch once, using all new tables (except for the current wp_users table…)

I can create new posts, I can edit posts.

I can delete entire TOPICS, but not individual posts.

However, I just noticed that after a post is saved (without tags) I can add a (1) tag, but not delete it. I cannot create additional tags on a post after that first one.

This is really getting on my nerves now. I would think it HAS to be something to do with permissions, but I can’t tell what the are in the database… what tables should I look at??

[fel64]

Maybe the permissions/nonces are screwed up? If bbPress is set to use WP functions it might be worth reuploading those.

[Nola1974]

wouldn’t know what it is. I’ve re-uploaded both wpmu and bbpress. I’ve took out all plugins and it’s still doing it. Perhaps something to do with my config files…. but they look OK.

[Sam Bauers]

> Im beginning to think bbpress did something to my user tables.

That seems kind of unlikely, but I wouldn’t rule it out. There may be something more fundamentally wrong with your setup, but I couldn’t say exactly what.
