You know what, this plugin doesn’t work at all for me.
–
edit: Just tried out BBCode Lite, and that works.
Can you limit the width of an image, so it doesn’t exceed the forum?
I just installed it, and it’s great, but for me, it has too many features.
Can I remove some of them? I mainly want to keep Bold, Italic, Quote and Link. Not the other stuff.
There’s no settings panel for it in Admin.
Make sure you update the settings in the bbPress Integration plugin as well and then copy the new code it produces into wp-config.php
Thats too complicated for me. I’m not an expert coder at all.
I barely manage to change colors and sizes in the CSS. Just moving the search-bar is a several hour project for me lol.
I was hoping there was an easy way out, just to make the forum load in the normal page-window, like a normal post would have. Give it the value of a post or something. But recreating a brand new template, and all that stuff, is way too hard for me.
When I edited the Kakumei files, I recreated a sidebar to match the look of the blog with the forum tags and other stuff (blog latest posts, etc.), but without the widgets. The look still matches the blog, though the content of the sidebar is different. Whatever you have as text widgets in the blog you can always hard code in the forum sidebar.
The “sidebar” is in front-page.php, under
<div id=”hottags” role=”main”>
hard code any sidebar content there, then match the css in the stylesheet. You can even float the div to the right, rather than the left, depending on your blog’s theme.
tha code snippet by clarko seems to do the trick even with bbpress 1.0.1 and wpmu 2.8.4
Sorry, Everything is running fine. “the page not found” was simply because of the wordpress custom code in the title. I just type in title name and it run fine.
This is just a custom theme.
You could do it by making either a page with a redirect to the forum, or just a link to the forum in the header, and then theme your forums to look like your site.
All the cool kids do it 
no one here with some advice on how to fix that?
this kind of feature is important for every forum owner
I’m a little confused by this solution. where does this code need to go?
If this appears in your front-page.php, then you have bbPress 1.0.x and you have a bug
<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
The same bug was in some rare cases of 0.9
and I programmed around it in topics-per-page
I doubt it will work properly on 1.0 but you can try installing the plugin, remove the above line and replace it with
<div class="nav"><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div>
cloo, were there any errors during your conversion?
I was going to attempt 3.0.4 > bbpress 1.0.2 until I saw this 
I’m sorry That is the ONLY time I’ve seen that error. I mean, you can’t login, so clearly you have no plugins activated to be causing that.
Well ugh, there is no space there! I’ve checked ten thousand times already.

You mean the bottom float or something else. For the bottom facebook like bar here’s the code that we are using on Ubuntu India Forums.
.fbar {
background:#fff url("images/buttonbar.gif") top left repeat-x;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
border-bottom:none;
height:26px;
left: 5%;
bottom: 0;
position: fixed;
width:90%;
z-index:5;
}
If you wanna know something else please let me know I will paste it here. Cheers!
Read this: https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/
See how in step 1 it says to make sure you have a my-templates folder?
You’ll be putting style.css in /public_html/forum/my-templates/NEWTEMPLATE/
With a header in style.css like this:
/*
Theme Name: The name of your cool new theme.
Theme URI: Your theme's url. Maybe it's the blog post you wrote about it.
Description: Describe your theme here. You can be nice and say something like "Blues and Greens in a two-column format" or enigmatic and say "The river here is only waist deep".
Version: Always number your releases. Please only use numbers and decimal points (yes, we broke our own rule).
Author: Author of the original theme,
Author URI: and his or her url.
Ported By: Name of the person who ported the theme to bbPress (if applicable),
Porter URI: and his or her url.
*/
Under that you’ll put your custom CSS like
topic-tags { display: none; }
post-form-tags-container { display: none; }
Why not just redirect any calls to register.php to your WordPress site via .htaccess?
Redirect 301 /forums/register.php http://paperviewzine.com/wp-login.php?action=register
Redirect 301 /forums/bb-reset-password.php http://paperviewzine.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
the login bar is very cool, is possible share the code? thanks
I’m trying to edit register.php in my template file so that it will use my WordPress one instead, this is the code I have so far, but it doesn’t work, any help thanks.
<?php if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<?php header("Location: http://paperviewzine.com/wp-login.php?act=register"); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php header("Location: http://paperviewzine.com/forums/"); ?>
<?php }; ?>
FYI, use the backtick (see the note below the post message box) to post code.
And … as I predicted, I can’t see if you have a blank line after your ?> 
You can try, but even if you did, I’m pretty sure I’d never see if there were blank lines or extra lines below and above, would I? That’s the bi**h about debugging this
The only ticket on this even says blank lines are the cause: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/815
In WordPress that error is almost always caused by spaces or blank extra lines in your config file.

The same is, generally, true of bbPress. Please read the link above to make sure that when we talk about spaces, we’re both talking about the same thing
