I found that bumping the memory limit up in my php.ini wasn’t enough. If I’m reading the WordPress admin code right, it sets a memory limit which may actually be lower than what you’re trying to use and it overrides your settings.
I added the following overrides to my wp-config.php file and that allowed me to complete the import. This was on a local machine with a large forum so you would probably want to try it with a lower limit to start.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2048M');<br />
define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2048M');
I looked at “http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks”, it reads: “For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields.”
I can’t seem to be able to use the recommended link structures with bbpress forums and topics such as /%post_id%/%postname%/.
Will the permalink structure greatly affect the loading time of my different pages or has this issue been resolved with the latest version of WordPress?
Thats strange because i copied the bbPress files from the plugin to my WP theme (child theme) and start editing from that file.
Im inside: wp-content > themes > my-child-theme > bbpress > loop-single-reply.php and i just deleted the entire basic avatar calling code because it pulling out the name, link and avatar in one php code with a in between.
I didn’t like that because it wasn’t easy to customize so i deleted that bit and placed my own easy template tags.
<div class="mpm-reply-author-avatar"><a href="<?php bbp_reply_author_url(); ?>"><?php bbp_reply_author_avatar(array('size' => '80')); ?></a></div>
Link and title are working, avatar showing up only at 40px.
Maybe something wrong with my Child Theme setup?
Strange because i have done 2 days of editing and changing a lot of bbPress codes without any errors and all changes is made showed up.
Line 642 of your theme stylesheet says:
.reply {
float: right;
margin: 10px 0 0;
}
The float right is causing the problem. If you remove that rule, then the forums work just fine, however I am guessing it will have other side effects on the theme which I can’t determine myself.
John I need this answers…
bbPress 1.1 is translated 50%, if we don’t have a Jalali date format we cannot publish it 
Having trouble getting the BBPress theme templates to work as well…
1. I followed all of the original post’s instructions, but making changes to the templates doesn’t come through on the live site.
2. I tried creating a child theme as per BJ’s suggestion above, but that wasn’t successful for me.
3. Pulled my remaining hairs out trying other solutions.
Just thought I’d mention. 
Lets hope bbPress will get a useful and easy to use Codex very soon because i can’t do anything with the templates tags like this.
I’m try to make a author reply avatar bigger.
This is the code that i imported to my file but it only displays the avatar at 40x40px.
<?php bbp_reply_author_avatar( array( 'size' => '80' )); ?>
The awesome bbPress Plugin 2.0 is finally released!
So for all German users I have the language files ready for download – in formal (SIE) and informal (DU) version. Both were tested/used in production environments so should work like a charm.
Just DOWNLOAD here:

Have fun, Dave from Germany
This is now possible:
http://testbp.org/2011/08/forum-shortcode-as-comments/
Though it’s still unclear to me whether or not this relies on BuddyPress 1.5, the environment in which this functionality is showcased. It would be a very odd dependency though, so I’m hoping this would also be possible with WP + BBP alone.
#1
for main forum, edit single-forum.php file to remove
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>
do the same thing for single-topic.php
***I am assuming you are using your own theme and are not editing the original bbpress files, but rather the files you add to your own theme.
#2
sorry, I have not yet dug through the core enough to answer this one. I’m guessing you can pass an argument to the topic output, but can’t say for sure.
#3
You will need to modify a ton of templates to do this one.
basically you are looking for:
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
and replacing it with:
<?php bbp_breadcrumb( array('include_home' => false, 'include_root' => false) ); ?>
That basically says: do not print the ‘home’ link, and do not print the ‘forums’ link before the single forum link.
include_home = ‘home’
include_root = ‘forums’
Hope that helps.
HI,
Is there a shortcode for a searchform?
Xander
phew, i meant functions.php
Thanks for the answers…
John I saw that all of formats (like number format and date format) is in a file name class.bb-locale.php in bb-includes directory…
If our plugin convert the functions in this file (bb_gmdate_i18n & bb_number_format_i18n) to Persian formats, will all the formats in anywhere being reformated?
I’m now using bbpress 2.0 and buddypress 1.2.10 and the shortcodes and widgets have been very useful to the not so techy users like me.
The situation is that I want to show only one forum’s latest topics, is there any plan for releasing shortcodes with more detailed options or a way to make it possible manually?
Thank you in advance!
I am new to buddypress I’m not a coder. The install was simple. But when it comes to the forums i can’t set it up! Instead i get told i have to make a group. I want a forum (with categories) but at the same time i want group forums to work separately. So when i set up a group i go to the forums page and it tells me group forum directory.
I want a forum on that page not a group forum directory. Is it possible if someone can tell me how i can correct this? Again, I’m not a coder so a simple copy and paste would help. I can always learn something new though. but this is killing me, i have looked everywhere forums, youtube videos etc.
Step by step instructions for “Non IT techy” would be helpful. Hopefully in a newer version of buddypress you can make group forums separate from forums. So again anything would help.
Also is it possible to have a separate page for group forum directory instead of using the forums page and is it possible to make it so only admins can see that page? I think this would be helpful if you’re running a site and want to admin group forums but not have them show publicly. or an option to let users just display forums in the directory they allow publicly?Just a suggestion.
Thanks hope to hear from someone.Just incase my post is viewed in buddypress yes i posted there aswell.
alrighty, with your help, anointed, I’m getting the hang of this now. I’ve created new pages with bbpress shortcodes, and linked them accordingly. Now I am testing the registration process and I have one question.
Instead of having new users login via the WordPress Dashboard, can I make it so they stay at the frontend? Does that make sense? I do not want them logging into any kind of WordPress backend.
Thanks again buddy.
Not yet, but anything is possible.
Hi guys,
Just wondering when I eventually install BB Press on my production site, i will be turning OFF groups and using only the BB Press Forums.
What will happen to the existing activity entries that link to the current groups etc?
Will the entries become dead links, or does BB Press somehow upgrade these links?
Any info on the future ‘upgrader’ would be appreciated.
Ross
I took a quick glance at your site and noticed a few things. Mainly the style sheet from the theme you are using has a lot of conflicts with bbpress. It is going to take a lot of modification to make it look right within that particular theme.
*It is not the fault of the theme or bbpress that everything does not look right out of the box. It just happens that there are a few conflicts and as I don’t know your theme code I can’t tell how big a job it would be to fix.
It’s not what’s in the 1.5RC1 though is it? Because that looked like BBPress 1.0
It’s only a problem if you want it that way.
bbPress is going to keep its core taxonomy separate from WordPress posts. If you want to merge them together, it’s completely possible to do on your own.
Thanks, I will wait for the plugin then. I have shut down the forums for now. I will experiment some more with them on my test system. Really like how bbpress looks and feels but I don’t really need a forum
Ok thanks for the reply. It’s just a pain dealing with the frustrated users in my forums. But I guess you know all about that 
With the very exciting new “forum shortcode as comments” feature currently being tested on testbp.org, quite a few questions come to mind. Seeing as the test site isn’t really meant for real conversations, I’ll ask my questions here.
(1) For starters, I’m assuming this will also work without BuddyPress in the mix?
(2) What if I’m running a multisite, separating content into two or more blogs?
example.com – main blog and forum.
devblog.example.com – secondary blog, no forum.
So in the instance that I make a post on devblog.example.com that I’d like to attach a forum thread to, would that be possible?
(3) Has this been tested with different post formats?
(4) Also, the idea of multiple posts pointing to the same forum topic is very cool, but what about the other way around?
Say I write a post about an already addressed topic (there is an existing thread about it) but I would like to open a new thread of discussion for some fresh opinions. Being able to point to multiple threads would be very handy. Maybe there’d have to be one main topic, but others could be added as links, pretty much like a pingback.
(5) Showing the first post in the forum thread in the blog post, especially in your example, seems counter-intuitive to me. Have you considered (tried) working around that?
