link not working…

Bu..yes bbpress is a plugin t make a forum, this is usually done on a seperate page called forums, you can even make a link in your menu to go to that page.

3. Buddypress allows more member profile functions, group creation with private forums and a facebook style activity wall, this is all added by Buddypress to the already existing forum only functions from BBpress.

They integrat by following the steps offered after instal, I always instal BBPress first.

If you want you can have a look a my site how they work together, I believe they should always be used in tandem.

Buddy/BB/Wordpress

4. If you create the categories and the forums, then members can only post topics in forums on hose categories by default.

2. You can change that text in form-reply.php, which means you need to make a bbpress template folder in your child theme.

1. I wish it was true.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I am wondering if it’s possible for me to have a separate page in my website for a forum using bbPress? If so, how can I install it? Here’s my website for better understanding.

Thanks

[zanderlise]

Created a sidebar with wwPress WP Tweaks, but can’t get it to display. I have added widgets, and tried selecting all the different pages in the “Default forum wrapper” section. It just won’t show up.

WP version 4.1.1
http://www.testambrosemediastore.com/forums/forum/forum-2/
Minamaze theme

In this theme, you have to select one layout for all static pages, and I have chosen a layout that is full page. You don’t get Template options while creating/editing a page. Is that causing the issue? It seems all of the other “sidebar” plugins I’ve tried simply replace an existing sidebar, they won’t add one. Is “bbPress WP Tweaks” the same, or can you add a sidebar to the forum page even if it doesn’t have a sidebar originally?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

bbPress for Millions of posts?

[Robin W]

ok,

1. not possible with bbpress as far as I know
2. only admin/keymasters get this priviledge
3. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
4. If I understand the question correctly, normal users – that is the default ie participants can create topics and replies, but not forums or categories. If you meant something different then come back

I want to use Bbpress for a forum on a new classifieds site, when entering site to advertise, the user must register, if they then decide to use the forum it appears that they must register again.

Is there any way that I can make it so that when they register to use the site, that registration will also allow them instant access to the forum, to register twice may be complicated, and will be confusing for some people

Hi,

I’d like to change the author link of every reply (actually it goes to user profile) :
– if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url
– else use the comment website url

So i have 2 questions :
– what’s the best way to change the author link ? editing users/template.php, using add_filter(‘bbp_get_author_link’) or something else ?
– how can i retrieve the comment url from anonymous poster ?

Thank you for your help

Keep up the good work, i like bbpress !

Greetings,

Good afternoon,

I’m superadmin in a bbpress forum and I wonder where could I see the list of all forum users. In the rest of WP I’m just a subscriber.

Thanks a lot,

1. I am looking to create a forum and put it on a couple websites. Each website also needs a specific section/separate forum for that site as well as the one that is across a couple of websites. Is this possible with bbpress?

2. I have this message at the bottom of my site “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” From what I understand this is bad how do I change it?

3. How exactly does bbpress and buddypress work together and how do I integrate them?

4. Is there a way to only let people create topics in category’s?

Many thanks for you help.

(At risk of this thread going off topic I should add that if, at this point, anybody’s thinking “if he’s hoping to use bbPress for that big a forum I hope he’s considered the problems he’ll have with [BLANK]”, please do jump in!)

Hi there,

I have a large vBulletin forum (15,000 members / 20,000 topics / 3.5m posts) and I’m hoping to move it to bbPress.

As you might expect, the conversion is proving to be a lengthy process, and I’m hoping to keep disruption and downtime for users to a minimum.

Would the following work?

Close vBulletin forum
Export database
Re-open vBulletin but close registration
Convert to bbPress local installation (which’ll take a few days)
Once conversion’s taken place, quickly export only the new vBulletin topics and posts from the last few days, then import them to bbPress

I suppose my question is whether this is something the bbPress importer will be able to make sense of: if I try to import a database that only consists of new topics and replies, plus replies to topics it’s already imported, will everything work as hoped, and will those posts be mapped to the correct users?

Thanks in advance!

So I just installed bbPress (2.5.4) successfully after having buggy versions last week. Though I’m having a lot of issues this time. I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 and Twenty Fifteen as my theme.

I created a new forum which I called, “forum” and a topic called, “general”. When I go to view the forum, it takes me to /forums/forum/forum which I believe should be /forums/forum but I can’t go there without it redirecting me. /forums just redirects me as well.

Following the codex, I tried method two which involved using the shortcode. This works all fine until I clicked on the forum, which took me to /forums/forum/forum

My site is:

– method 1
– method 2

How can I fix this issue? Please don’t say disable plugins because I know for a fact, that isn’t the reason.

[peter-hamilton]

Or try playing around with his

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
float: left;
width: 20%;
}

This will give 5 rows, 10 would not fit any screen.
his idea you have might sound good, but it will cause lots of issues on different viewports/mobile

troubleshoot to find if you can pinpoint the problem.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

@cebutours

usually creating a bbpress.php file would fix this issue.

@weirdman

see if its a plugin issue

Deactivate all but bbpress and the plugin and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

it might be a minify plugin if you have one, other than that i dont know wheat else could cause the issue.

@duncanmarshall

im not a developer of bbPress so i cant give you some technical details, all i can say is maybe its some damn good hosting that focus on speed.

I deactivated bbPress WP Tweaks and it still does not show up. Otherwise, nothing has changed.

[Robkk]

can you see the forum list widget on any page if you deactivate bbPress WP Tweaks??

[Robkk]

@mvaneijgen

it probably wouldnt work now since that was for the standalone version of bbpress

[Robkk]

i just tested it out and it seems to work fine.

you can find the files to install for wp-content/languages/bbPress here

I am adding a member forum section to a church website. It is just for congregation members to communicate with each other once logged in. The group wants only one main forum in which all topics will be listed/added. I have added the (bbPress) Forums List to the sidebar widget area, but it does not show up. When I log in, I see “member login” with my user name and below that “recent topics” with all topics listed in the right sidebar. The “forum List” does not appear at all, making it very confusing to navigate the topic threads. I don’t know css and am totally lost here, so please be kind and very specific with your help. 🙂

My WordPress version is 4.1.1 and we are using the “Risen” Theme.
bbPress version is 2.5.4, I am also using bbl style pack and bbPress WP Tweaks 1.3.1
