Thanks inspirationally

I thought, multisite is a bit too much when everything else (themes) is the same –
also, I wanted to use the “topics to posts” plugin, and this was (after some research) not possible with multisite – this was the main reason.

[Stephen Edgar]

@inspirationally Nice, I didn’t really think about doing things this way even though I’ve been debugging WordPress Multisite’s the past couple of days.

Your way uses a single WordPress site with multiple domains and it looks like that works quite well for your use case.

Another way would be to go WordPress Multisite using sub domains, your primary site would be http://example.com and with an extra site created using a sub-domain install at http://forums.example.com

So overall it looks like there is a few different ways to achieve the end goal and it’s just a matter of now working out which option is best for your use case.

[inspirationally]

I just installed my forum at http://mydomain.com/forums, which is the same as http://myseconddomain.com/forums – and used

1. the multidomain plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/multidomain/

2. templates and menus based on the domain you see – this includes a different index loop file and different custom menu.

This also works with subdomains.

Here the code of index.php:

<?php
/**
 * The main template file.
 *
 * This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme
 * and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).
 * It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query. 
 * E.g., it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists.
 * Learn more: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Ten
 * @since Twenty Ten 1.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php if ( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'mydomain.com' ) { ?>

			<?php
			/* Run the loop to output the posts.
			 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
			 * called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
			 */

			 get_template_part( 'loop', 'index-mydomain' );
			?>
<?php } elseif ( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'myseconddomain.com' || $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'sub.mydomain.com'  ) { ?>

			<?php
			/* Run the loop to output the posts.
			 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
			 * called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
			 */

			 get_template_part( 'loop', 'index-myseconddomain' );
			?>			
<?php } ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then there is loop for the main site, and one for the forum including the forum overview.

In the header I have

<?php if ( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'mydomain.com ) { ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('container_class' => 'menu','menu' => 'Mydomain.org' )); ?>
<?php } elseif ( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'myseconddomain.com' || $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'sub.mydomain.com'  ) { ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('container_class' => 'menu','menu' => 'Myseconddomain.com' )); ?>
<?php } ?>

(the same for sidebar widgets etc.)

Of course you could work with special forum templates for the forum sites.

(real example see johnny-depp.org/deppheads.com)

I think, I will have to add some kind of rewrite to not have duplicate content in the future.

Yep, as mentioned, I tried it with WP-United disabled and recalculated in phpBB3 first then in WordPress bbPress after the import, each one. My next step is removing it altogether and trying it then. I’m not sure what changes WP-United might make on the database, but phpBB3 does have an Auto Mod package that is part of the process so I’ll have to remove it from phpBB3 too before I can try again. I’ll try to come back and report what I learn! 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I think these are what your looking for…

[shdaniyal]

hello. Im using BBPress 2.4.1
1.Please tell me how can I customize the email sent to the user at the time of registration.

2. Also could you tell me how can i hide the admin toolbar when the user logs in. multiple users can regsiter, so I dont want to hide the admin tool bar manually for all of them. is there a way to do it once and for all ? ..

thank you

[Stephen Edgar]

This cannot be done at this stage…

The only way I can think of doing this would be to install WordPress as forums.gamingtracks.com and then you would have URL’s like this:

http://forums.gamingtracks.com/forums/topic/bbpress-forums-to-subdomain-included-with-domain/

@stagger-lee If the converter is stuck at Converting replies (10100 - 10199) click Stop wait a few seconds then click Start and the converter will continue on its merry way. 🙂

[jlmcclellan]

I added text both above and below the forums archive list by editing the content-archive-forum.php file (after I copied it into a bbpress folder inside my theme directory).

Either put it before the “bbpress-forums” div opens or after it closes (for before or after, respectively).

[Halo Diehard]

I’ve resychronized the phpbb3 forums and begun the conversion process by “Purge all information from a previously attempted import”. I then reimported also bringing the members this time and… still only up to five months ago 🙁 Wait, I wonder if that’s when I installed WP-United. I disabled the plugin, but maybe it’s somehow messing with the import process. Is there any way to import some phpbb3 tables into bbPress “by hand”?

[Halo Diehard]

You may be surprised to see my bbPress forum

“Internal Server Error” 😉

Yeah, another issue I was having is my phpBB3 private forums copied over public, and when I’d go into bbPress and choose “Hidden” and save it would refresh as “Open” again :/ so I deleted the forum. When I did that all hell broke loose for several hours. Server company said that phpBB3 was putting too much of a load on the shared server. I guess the import process put me close to the limit and the deletion process put me over.

I’ll try your suggestion, thanks.

Here’s a screenshot of the forums, Gyazo’s finally back up: http://gyazo.com/ef928ad4738251e1bd6ab1c39a0b710b.png

I just migrated my legacy Buddypress forums to bbPress, and at first it seemed that everything was working great. Then I clicked on a topic and saw the notice info, and the reply form, but I presume that posts should be displaying in between. There’s nothing there in the code (so it’s not a CSS issue).

I created a brand new forum, a brand new topic, which you should be able to see here: http://atdp.berkeley.edu/forums/topic/test-topic-2/
There should be two posts (the topic post and a reply), but there’s nothing.

We use Buddypress groups, and the group forums have the same behavior. The forum and topic ULs look like they imported fine, but no posts appear when you click on a topic. So the symptoms persist for both pre- and post-migration forums, and for both group and site-wide forums.

I can see all topics and replies just fine in the backend and in the database, though it’s confused me that posts seem to be saved in the wp_posts table, not wp_bb_posts. I also can’t figure out where the new forum gets saved, because it’s not in wp_bb_forums, nor do new topics appear in wp_bb_topics. Anyway, they appear in Buddypress activity streams, and I can edit them in the backend, so it seems they’re just not making it to the page.

I’m using the theme Custom Community 1.17.3, and thought maybe that was the issue. Nope. Same exact behavior with Twenty Twelve and the default Buddypress theme.

I went through the standard toggling of plug-ins and saw no change.

WP version is 3.6.1, Buddypress 1.8.1, and bbPress 2.4. I updated to 2.4.1 in the hopes that that might fix something, but nope. I closely followed these instructions for migrating my data.

I’d love some troubleshooting ideas, because I’m about out!

[RaSol]

Yes!!! Awesome thank you!! 🙂

Hi, maybe someone know help.

I have a forum with some child forums inside. When I open a child forum not only the releted topic are showen but also topics from other child forums.

E.g. this child forum “natural-fiber-bio-resin”:

http://auto-nomo.com/forums/forum/forum/natural-fiber-bio-resin/

Three topcs are displayed but only one belongs to this child forum. Any idea how to manage that only the related topics are displayed?

WordPress 3.6.1
bbPress 2.4
BuddyPress 1.8.1

Thanks for any idea …

In a default bbpress installation, I am seeing that the gravatar size is set to 80px. I learned that it can be changed in /templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php file. By adding the size parameter on line 45 like this:

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

to

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'size' => '44', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

I wanted to change it. Is it possible to do so without modifying any core template files?

[sJanellc]

awesome!

bbPress gets popular everyday.. with new users, new questions and new bugs! as you know bbPress is an open source project developed by a great volunteers from all over the world.

Which means many bbPress users can’t write in English and can’t ask support from the official forums, for this reason I suggest to add links in Codex(or any place), to all support forums that give a good support for bbPress in other language.

Maybe something like this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/L10n:Localization_Teams

for now bbPress start to gets popular in the Arabian Community, with a lot of questions from the new users, so we decided to give bbPress a special support, see:
http://www.ar-wp.com/forums/section/bbpress/

What you think?

[Nashwan D]

I was waiting for it.. Thank you all 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

2.4.1 was released yesterday. Update, and all should be well again.

[Stagger Lee]

Maybe some detailed clarification. It is about replies of some topic.

Converting replies (10100 - 10199)

[Stagger Lee]

Kunena converter (both 2.0 and 3.0) stuck at some specific Kunena topic it is importing.

Please add a function to bypass topics it cannot import, and make script continue with healthy topics. This way only one topic is missing, as it is now all topics behind one that makes problems are missing.

I would try to repair (or delete) that Joomla Kunena topic, but number “10999” says me absolutely nothing.

[zilveer]

I recommend you to just download the latest files from the trunk and upload it to your server and it should solve your issue.
After the v2.4.1 is release you could then just update your bbpress plugin again

Hi all, I’m trying to set up BBPress to combine forums and comments on my website, and I’m stumped by an odd issue.

I can create a menu page with the short code [bbp-forum-index] that looks and works perfectly, but whenever you go deeper into the forums, everything defaults to the Post template – which means I get the standard blog sidebar (that I don’t want on the forum) and an author detail at the bottom of the page.

I’ve tried turning off comment integration (disabling the plugin) and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Can anyone help?

[fazcue]

Hello,

i’m having this problem in all my buddypress + bbpress sites.

The page title is not showing when I create a topic inside a buddypress group.

I’ve tried disabling all others plugins, but yet it doesn’t work.

Is there any fix for this? I’m having duplicate titles in all my groups topics because of this :/

Thanks!
