I just recently installed bbpress integrating it into my wordpress website, and I noticed that, being the key master, I never appear as Last poster in a topic I just added a message too, nor my posts are counted in the totals of the main forums summary page.

Is this intended? And if so, any way to change this behaviour?

Thanks all :>

If they are marked as a bozo in bbpress it is a 1 for sure. It will not affect the WPMU at all because it doesn’t look for the bozo info at all in the meta table. Should be fine!

We are setup as a support site, with lots of help from Trent, we have our template tweaked to just how we want it.

Plugins used:

Support Forums

Admin Add User

Quicktags-4-bbpress

bb-memberlist

onlinelist (Slightly modified)

its a good idea to have an idea forum (duh!). but i think its a little premature. bbpress is still in its infancy – actually i should says its still a fetus.

once we have a major release and a stable community, that would be the next logical step.

I might as well start off the topics in the new forum for “Pimp My Press” with my forum, http://onvertigo.com

I am using a custom theme that I am also using for my main WP site at http://trentadams.ca and it really the second major theme that I have used on it! The site used to be really large with friends and family and after changing servers and no ‘easy’ way to import in the entries, I just started over until we can get a bbPress to bbPress import/export function (*crosses fingers*).

I use the following plugins:

Admin Add User

Allow Images

Allow YouTube (embedding)

My Avatars

Memberlist

Mobile bbPress

Post Count

Private Messeges

QuickTags Comments

Custom Profile

User Timezones

I am setting up another install for testing of all plugins, so stay tuned!

Cheers,

Trent

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:

[Davor Dedic]

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]

Yes,

I did that,

that was the first thing I did,

and then I double checked it, but still I can not log in through bbPress

Somebody !!!

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

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.
