I haven’t heard of an export from bbPress to WordPress, but I don’t imagine that someone couldn’t write one in a hurry if they understand both programs. If you already have posts in punbb, you could easily export those posts to phpbb format and then use the import from phpbb to bbPress.

If you already have your comments and posts in a forum, why not setup a new WordPress blog once you have all your posts imported into bbPress and then have all new posts in WordPress go to bbPress for comments and further discussion. That way, all your old posts are already in the forum and all new posts will end up there as well. This is easily done with the bbPress-Post plugin. All new wordpress articles are created in bbPress and a link is placed in the wordpress post to the corresponding bbPress post.

Just something to think about.

Hey folks.

I’m currently using punbb and snews, and I’m interesting in switching over to wordpress and bbpress. I honestly should’ve used wordpress in the first place, but new things frighten me (lol)…

Anyways, what I’d like to do is put all my punbb posts into wordpress – and the only way I can see that happening is if I first import all the posts from punbb (to phpbb) to bbress and then to wordpress.

That’s probably overly complicated, but I can’t imagine how else this is possible and I have no real technical skill –so what I’m wondering is how difficult would it be to get the posts from bbress to wordpress? (or maybe someone has another suggestion.)

Thanks for all the great work.

Ahni

ear1grey, I concur.

I’m already using tags like WP “categories” as they are the most easy-to-use feature of bbPress (thanks, AJAX), and quite analogous to what we call “forums” anyway. After all, we’re just talking about context really, and tags achieve that easily.

My only real complaint is that the word “tag” is so generic it ends up meaning many things and nothing all at the same time – category is a much better “tag” for “tag”.

Here is the error I’m getting when I put

‘”require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”‘ into my bbpress config.php file:

Warning: main(http://www.dev.abunchofcars.com/wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! ��-@����-�”@ in /home/abunchof/public_html/dev/forum/config.php on line 3

Ok, I got a slight problem, I’m trying to use WP PHP Functions such as bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); and what not, but it doesn’t work in BBPress. I added require_once(‘path-to-my-wordpress-config.php-file’) and it seems to load fine, but I still can’t use WP functions. I put that that require_once inside the config.php. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

[Aaron]

Yes it is possible.

If you havent done it already, create a folder at the root of your bbpress install called my-templates, copy front-page.php from bb-templates into my-templates. Edit front-page.php in my-templates, go to around line 44 and you will find the “Sticky” text, change it there.

Is it possible to configure bbPress to allow people to post a message as a guest, without registering a new username and logging in?

Hello boys, I have installed the last version of bbpress, are successful to make integration with wordpress, now I must reply the lay-out of mine blog. I have read to all the topic of the forum, trying I have uncovered that the instructions do not work. You could explain to me the procedure to execute?

Excused my bad English!

[worrypascanada]

Hello,

I’ve dumped the French translation of bbPress .mo and .po files within bbPress. My only problem, the time of my posts are in English language http://patrimoineacadien.com/babillard/ . How can I resolve to get time in French instead? I’ve checked with poEdit; the translation looks fine.

Thanks for your support.

There’s a sub-forums ticket open at the moment, assigned to Matt, and I thought have have a quick think-aloud to see how feasible this idea is…

I think the combination of forums, sub forums and tags encodes too much structure into the application and the db; I can see another (possibly more flexible) way of delivering the same capabilities, which involves three steps:

1. Add descriptions to tags, so they can behave like forums.

2. Remove the old forums altogether and instead allow tags to be sticky – sticky tags then go on the front page, with their descriptions, like forums.

3. Avoid the restrictive tree structure of forums and sub-forums by using a graph – i.e. in the same way that any post can be linked to any tag, any tag should also be able to be linked to any tag.

The net result would be the same operation for the user, but more more potential for adaptive content structure and semantically rich navigation by, for example, seeing related articles from “nearby” tags.

There’s probably other advantages, and maybe caveats that I’ve not seen…

I actually posted something in the wordpress forums, but I never did place a link here showing my integration of my bbpress theme with my current wordpress theme.

I just finished installing bbPress for the first time, and I like it very much. I just wanted to say great job!

It was very easy to customize the template to match my custom WordPress theme.

When you go to your profile preferences there should be a new section… look here:

hi people. i’ve instaled the bbpress on my server but i cant log in on my site via firefox 2, in a MAc and in PC. anyone got any inssue about?

[cagnese]

I have translated bbpress into spanish (es_AR), and you can download it from here http://isea.biz/es_AR/es_AR.rar . It includes the pot file for bbpres “Bix” version 0.73, so you can modify pot file using poEdit (http://www.poedit.org) as you like.

[otilija]

I just occurred to me, is there going to be a problem if the WP install is in / while bbpress is in /bbpress/ ? It sounds ok by my reading of the dox but I just wanted to be sure I hadn’t missed the point… and BTW i just upgraded to 2.05 and .73

I’m being marked as a bozo, and I’m the keymaster! I changed my title (misspelled a word, turning it into chatspeak) and since that is the only thing I changed I assume it to have caused bbPress to mark me as a bozo.

Two of my users have had this happen as well, and unchecking the bozo box in the user profile does not reverse it for any of us. It always reverts back to bozo status.

Is there a way of manually resetting the user’s status in the database? And can I edit a file to change what triggers the bozo status?

[johanmaelson]

I have added Wysiwyg to bbpress as a first. I choosing TinyMCE dunno why … maybe cuz i haven’t ever use this one. But it’s relay roxx nice organization and realy lightweight. Author of this subject using fckeditorm …. but this wysiwyg so slow … oh meine god …

After inserting to my bbpress TinyMCE … i’m starting to play within tags … something doesn’t works cuz BBPRESS cut out disallowed tags … i thought that i can just edit some code in bbpress plugin for image tag. After some manipulation my wysiwyg work’s well but not good as i want ))

you can check out my bbpress forum and skin which i make for it here http://www.forum.faces.kz

all suggestion and questions send to johanmaelson at gmail dot com .. or post here i’ll check this three

If anyone gets anywhere with this it would be nice to see an implementation. I’m planning (currently working on) a wordpress/bbpress site that will probably need a wiki somewhere along the line.

[circuit]

thanks for the instructions. unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.

on the page you linked to, there are two pieces of advice as to where to put the editor files:

“create a directory in the root directory called “editor” and then upload the same directory from their download page. Then drop the .js files into your root, and place the fckeditor.php file where ever you want (i chose the my-templates directory) and call it accordingly.”

or

“unrar FCKeditor_2.3.2.zip into my-templates”

Wherever I put it, it doesn’t seem to work. I have tried a directory within my-templates, dropping it directly into my-templates, and putting the relevant files in the root with my-templates holding the PHP file. In all cases I edited the path in the replacement code accordingly.

I think it’s including the PHP file OK, but I guess there is an iframe where the FCKEditor box should be, and that is just pulling the home page of my site (i.e. a 404 error, as far as I can tell).

Hello all, I ask excuse for my English. I have installed the forum, I have added the plugin for the users integration whit WP. The only problem that I have is that the users with a nickname composed from two parts come recognized nonexistent, while those written in a phrase come recognized.

EX:

pino: recognized

den yo: not recognized.

Can be resolved this problem?

[sevendotro]

I’m useing wp 2.0.5 and bbpress 0.73

Anyone?

[intelliot]

Hey, I’m interested in the idea of doing free bbPress hosting, much like WordPress.com is doing for WordPress. I have a lot of experience in this area, having done it with other forum software, and even doing some experimental multi-WordPress work even before mu came out.
