I honestly don’t get this sudden push to make bbPress a WordPress plugin rather than continue as standalone software. There is so much potential for bbPress to grow and succeed in the 2010 standalone bulletin board market. Disagree? Think about this:
Remember back in 2004 when Movable Type pushed everyone away with their new pricing plan? The result: BLAM! WordPress REALLY took off, fitting the bill as a viable free easy-to-install, easy-to-use alternative.
One can make a strong argument that vBulletin is currently doing the same exact thing Movable Type did with their pricing plan snafu! (http://www.technologyquestions.com/2009/10/28/vbulletins-visceral-price-structure-angers-clients/) Check out this comment by donnacha which says even more: (http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/12/11/bbpress-lives/#comment-1321740)
Throw in how complicated phpBB and vBulletin are compared to bbPress (not to mention how easy bbPress is to pickup for those familiar with WordPress) and there is a major bulletin board niche opening for Automattic.
This current bbPress 1.1 development push can really provide a great vBulletin alternative if it is done right. Shine up bbPress so it has some of the default features vBulletin and other boards offer (as OPTIONS in the admin interface) and we will see an exodus a la Movable Type to WordPress in 2004.
Hi!
I am new to bbpress/buddypress
we are planning to migrate phpbb3 to bbpress,
so, we plan to have wpmu/bbpress/buddypress
what confuses me and my whole concept, is buddypress forums..
as it is, we plan to move php forums to bbpress
but where do buddypress forums stand?
sure, each group can have a forum – that’s all I know – so I guess they wont replace bbpress forums
Has anyone set up bbpress/buddypress forums? could I have a look at your site and how you are using forums?
Kind regards
Kris
Hello !
Me and my friends have a PhpBB2 forum hosted by a free forum hosting provider ( xooit.com ), but I’m planning to switch to BBPress on our own hosting space with LaTeX support ( which is important for a Physics/Maths forum ) .
The only problem is that xooit.com doesn’t give database access, so I can’t do a SQL backup …
Lets say I can manage to get the RSS2 feed of the forum ( I don’t know how, but lets suppose I can ), will bbPress be able to import the posts from that RSS2 feed ?
Thanks !

Note: I want to mention here that the author of this plugin is no more active. He make this plugin but something is wrong with this pluing. he tell us wrong path for plugins files. But I’ve little bit knowledge of php that’s why i correct its path now the path of the plugins files which I’ve mentioned above is totally correct and working fine.
Now I really need to your help. If someone will not guide me then I’ll leave this software “bbpress” and I’ll move to vBulletin or phpbb after disheart….
So I’m waiting for positive answers from developers… Thanks … And Love you all
Hi all, needed some help with wordpress.
my wordpress add is at http://www.myfairmissy.com/janie/
my bbpress add is at http://www.myfairmissy.com/janie/forums
followed instructions for the cookies and still resulted in me loggin in 1 side and auto-logout on the other.
also would like to know which plug-in should i use for the wordpress if i want ,primarily to…
– i want my wordpress homepage to show 5 columns x 5 rows of latest post image, which will be grabbed from a few specific forum in BBpress. i also need a few buttons to sort or filter results by recent,by view counts, by specific forum
-i want my wordpress to have a few horizontal navigation bars at the header instead of the default ones at the side.
-i want to be change the default header image to my own and able to make my left/right sides blank like this forum. the left/right sides should be easily customized with my preferred wallpaper.
i hope i’m not asking for too much.
thanks in advance
Oh and i just wanted to add on this ck thing. People dont’t donate things that easily, and many of us are searching for something for nothing, but you were obviously disheartened. I have run a mac support site in different form for years, using different forums and its been hacked (lost thousands of posts) derided and the donation button clicked once or twice, there are bigger, slicker better sites, but I like to think people still use my site because I don’t look down my nose at anyone and keep it simple.
I would ask you from the heart, put your site back up and don’t give up…hey I don’t even know you but a little research tells me you have put alot in. You may think its time to cut your losses, on the other hand it might also be time to promote a clean simple forum.
AND beleive me I dont see a lot of promotion going on outside of the circle. If everyone who uses bbpress had a blog and did an article “the best forum software” a little blurb and put bbpress at the top of a a list of 5 lets say bbpress vb, smf, phpbb and a.n.other board….instant promotion. People are setting up forums all the time but dont know which software to use. I found bbpress by accident and am using smf at present but transferring data as we speak….main problem right now is where are the themes?
Why is this starting to remind me of XOOPS cms
it is sad news indeed
few months ago, I have paid some developers to convert the site from phpbb to bbpress. except into 1.0 version so many plugins were not updated, and new forum didnt go on line,
and we were waiting for some movement on bbpress and plugins front..
it looks like time & money was wasted
Maybe, can anyone suggest a viable alternative to bbpress? so we could have a deep integration of wpmu with forums & buddypress
of course, there has to exist some converters from phpbb…. I have looked and found NO alternative
