…I think JJJ has said that other method of integration may be possible, but by going the theme route it does allow for better templating of the forum.

…

i’ll still use it and recommend it but isnt it a bit “strange”? from standalone to pluggin so that all the integration problems disappear…so why not integrate with wordpress theme and leave all those theme integration problems in the past? Why insisting on a thing that has plagued these forums for so long.

Really hope we can “display” the forum in a wordpress page, from what i read when searching these forums a large majority wanted bbpress to have same theme as wordpress.

Im not a coder so i can´t contribute to bbpress but i’m hoping as a user that this “point” can be taken in consideration by the dev team.

Ashfame, Your answer is really as expected that I was imagining.

First you will defend your statement “living under a rock with 1024 X 768 resolution”. and second you will direct me to wpwebhost management.

As Corsari, We exchange opinions., So I want to continue..

Definitely, you’ve a connection to their management, that’s why you are referring your post to us, which you’ve written for them or you are using their ads on your personal blog that’s why you are responsible for their repute as your’s as well.

For example, If someone will hurt from my this post on bbPress then its my responsibly to defend my post or bbPress as well because there is a very deep connection b/w me and bbPress (not technically but by heart by soul), then I’ll contact to chrishajer (who is not active on bbPress from last month). I’ll say to him to delete this post because someone is hurting.

So, If WPWebHost physically not here then its your duty as their representative/author to send them tweet or can send them feedback to remove your post because of their disturbing graphical layout, then you can update your post to your own blog, because you’ve different themes for different devices, optimized for their width….

Come on man, you are responsible for your referring link, You can do it.

I’m currently using the bbpress forum signature plugin. However, the one problem I have is when I use the following links:

Code:

Blog – Facebook – Linkedin – Twitter

this appears as:

Code:

Blog – Facebook – Linkedin – T

instead of how it should appear. Any thoughts?

´No, Akismet was designed to catch SPAM, anything from comments (blog/site) to posts/thread on a forum (bbPress), they’re all the same! ´

Are you here just to annoy me?

Hi Ashfame, here, as in other posts, I thank you so much for your answers.

I “talk” with you as you talk with me. We exchange opinions.

I’m a democratic person, so I listen opinions, next I can agree or I can express my “counter-opinion”, they call them “points of view”.

They don’t hold the true, they are useful to grow.

It is supposed that bbPress staff would read our discussions and next take some inspirations for next releases (I like to suppose to)

Now, discussing of technical instead than philosophy, I’ve not enough skill but I find really interesting where you say … I will have different themes for different devices, optimized for their width…

Would you kindly give me a rough idea about this solution and or some links where to read about that (I mean bbPress and maybe wordpress related)? I would really thank you so much.

The impression is / it looks like, that we are not so many here (maybe I’m far and wrong, it is simply my impression/sensation), and looks like your knowledge is of a very good level : would you like to share it and give “some right tips” to us? Thank you if you.

Ciao

Which method would you say is easiest to go with out of the 2? Deep integration or copying the wp theme to bbpress theme?

I just got a bit lost with the guide you have done, like installing the intergration plugin (why is it needed, what does it do, where do you paste the code etc), the bbpress theme, replace header/footer/sidebar etc? How does it get the wordpress header/footer etc??

Just bit lost, sorry to be a pain

Thanks for getting back to me, Ashfame

I had it working great under WAMP (can’t remember what plugins were active at the time though) so will remember this advice for future and continue to test at regular intervals.

All the best, Karl

What about https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin

I mean, on the 1.0.2 installation of bbPres I’m testing, looks like there is no such feature.

The https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin page says:

Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher

Compatible up to: 0.9

An now what? 1.0.2 is higher than 0.9

Which plugin are you using on the bbpress.org forum to allow users to enable the Notify me of followup posts via e-mail?

( – this is the same story about https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ive-installed-bbpress-v102-but-it-doesnt-look-like-this-site

– this is a big leak in the spreading-concept of the bbpress staff

– this plugin is NOT an option that may interest or not o_O while is a must instead

– Don’t you think?)

what about loading my picture in this box on the left?

This question is double , ’cause I mean

– how to upload and display my picture in my profile in this bbPress forum

and also

– how to upload and display it on the forum (bbPress made) I’ve installed on my test system.

thank you for any link and or explanation

[Corsari]

@ Ashfame: I thank you, but in the mean time I suppose your answer is directed to all the readers, ’cause obviously that one is the first site I’ve found while searching for bbPress themes.

The issue is that none of the two themes bundled with bbPress and none of the themes you can find out there is structured and logical as the one that any new potential bbpress user finds on the bbpress.org forum.

Two columns https://bbpress.org/forums/

on the left forums like a navigation menu

in the middle, recent topics

on the left bottom the rest

At least, for non-gurus, the staff should provide the instructions on how to customize the position of those “areas” (if they don’t want to share their theme – and I warn them that this is against any product-spreading-logic)

The best is to provide a really similar layout maybe with other colors and fonts.

To give you an idea, if you goto phpbb community forum, “what you see is what you get” and this is the correct approach… meant as prevent yourself hurting who will try out your product.

I hope you understand this is a kind suggestion to bbPress staff.

And again @ kevinjohngallagher, you should consider that those who may spread your product, most of the time, are not coders nor html-css-php experts. So, no layouts available and no easy customization instructions means no spreading, that as obvious consequence, could lead to no success of bbpress.

Yes you are right about the deep integration.

Matching themes this way is a solution but it comes with a performance penalty but its economical at initial stages.

In that guide, since WordPress is loaded too.

Instead of calling bbPress header file, we call the WordPress header file so as to bring the code from there. Same goes with the sidebar and footer.

That’s how forums are housed inside WordPress theme.
