Hey guys! 🙂

Just wondering if you can help me. All the research I’ve done on bbpress.org points to articles 1 and 2 years ago which isn’t relevant anymore (due to directories and files being changed.)

What I’m wondering is, how can I get bbpress to honor or become similar to the theme I’ve chosen in WP?

I’ve seen all about copying files named bbp_xxx and “compat” related stuff but in the latest WP/bbPress combo I don’t see any of those options still remain.

Anyone care to shine a light please? I’m really loving WP + bbPress. It’s actually what I’ve needed over and instead of all the other forum software I’ve dealt with since 2009. (4 years later LOL.)

Thanks much,
Bluesage.

wordpress = 3.6.1
bbpress = 2.4
theme = twenty ten with bbpress child (css heavily modified)

so when a new user registers, i have a plugin that allows me to accept or deny the new user registration. PLUGIN = New User Approve(1.5.2)

the new user gets email being sent during the approval and acceptance process:

“You have been approved to access MySite Community
Username: testdan1
http://www.mysite.com/community/wp-login.php”

That is all that the users gets when i approve them? where is the password? If i deny the user, they get:

“You have been denied access to MySite Community”

hello. sometimes i feel like a senior citizen using a computer for the first time when it comes to WordPress…
i’m working on a site http://www.evangelicalassociation.org/EAWordpress and i’m hoping to create a forum that requires a log-in and can receive email notifications when a new topic is posted. i’ve downloaded the latest version of bbpress as well as bbpress email notifications today.

where do i start? how do i add the forum to my page? when someone clicks on the ‘forum’ menu option in the navigation, will it prompt to create a log-in?

i’m very new to wordpress and i know very little about coding and things like that, so please be gentle 🙂

thank you for your help!!!

Did you find a solution for this? I’d like to try this as well.

[FreeWPress]

function bbpress_title_duplicates($title, $sep, $seplocation){
	$usrurl = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	if (false !== strpos($usrurl,'users')) {
		if (false !== strpos($usrurl,'topics')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Argomenti aperti - test', $title);
		} elseif (false !== strpos($usrurl,'replies')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Risposte create - test', $title);
		} elseif (false !== strpos($usrurl,'subscriptions')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Discussioni sottoscritte - test', $title);
		} elseif (false !== strpos($usrurl,'favorites')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Topic preferiti - test', $title);
		} else {
    	$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Profilo - p', $title);
		}
    }
    return $title;
}

Nothing changed… show only: “Il profilo di nickname” Do not replace nothing.. This is impossible! :/

Ok so because you are doing this in Italian it might be different. I’m not 100% sure that the below solution will work because I don’t have a site to test it on and I don’t know how the language translation hooks in. But lets try this:

1 – Replace all instances of ‘Profile’ with ‘Il profilo di’
2 – Replace the following:
Topics Started –> Argomenti aperti da
Replies Created –> Risposte creati dal
Subscribed Threads –> Discussioni sottoscritte da
Favorite Threads –> Discussioni preferite di

Best way to test is just turning off anything custom (plugins / themes) and change back to a normal WordPress theme.

[jbuesking]

Yes I have the latest version you updated. Thanks

I reset the forum and started from scratch. Ran the installer again and now it threw this error:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘ixxxxxxx_xxxxxxx.jos_kunena_topics’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(kunena_messages.id USING “utf8”) AS id,convert(kunena_messages.catid USING “utf8”) AS catid,convert(kunena_messages.thread USING “utf8”) AS thread,convert(kunena_messages.ip USING “utf8”) AS ip,convert(kunena_messages.userid USING “utf8”) AS userid,convert(kunena_messages.subject USING “utf8”) AS subject,convert(kunena_messages_text.message USING “utf8”) AS message,convert(kunena_messages.time USING “utf8”) AS time FROM tvc4d_kunena_messages AS kunena_messages LEFT JOIN tvc4d_kunena_messages_text AS kunena_messages_text ON kunena_messages_text.mesid = kunena_messages.id LEFT JOIN jos_kunena_topics AS kunena_topics ON kunena_messages.thread = kunena_topics.id WHERE kunena_messages.parent != 0 LIMIT 0, 100

Sorta, the latest version had some work on it. However it’s still not the greatest.

Recommend a plugin?
Hi, I’m using the latest Buddypress 1.8 & BBpress 2.4 with usergroups & sitewide forums setup. Everything seems great but is it possible to keep sitewide forums separated from group forums; like displaying them on different pages. Also how to view only 10 forums per page. Im not that BP or BBpress code savy so it would be a great help if someone gives me clear instructions. Struggling for a long time and I seem to be hitting a dead end. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am running the latest version (2.4) along with the latest version of WP (2.6.1) and BuddyPress (1.8.1) and my Search Box for the Forum has apparently disappeared? It was there at one point, but now it is missing and I’m not really sure when it disappeared, just noticed it yesterday, but I cannot find any useful solutions? Thanks for your help (hopefully)!

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks right to me, did you download the latest version and upload it to the correct location?

I hope that because o2 turned into an plugin and not a new theme, the possibilities of combining the functions with bbPress should be possible.
Breathe works well and if other themes can be made to play nice with both plugins, I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.

I do think that bbPress can be a very valuable tool and won’t actually be replaced by comments altogether.
I hope that we’ll be able to test the plugin soon on our own installs. 🙂

[inspirationally]

Wow, great work!! Thank you so much!
Baby sleeping, big one sent to kindergarden, so I have a bit of time, too.

Little changes in your version:

replaced

			'from_tablename'  => 'forum',

with

			'from_tablename'  => 'wbb1_1_board',

at forum status and forum board

(Btw. everyone may use another board ID!!!) I have 1, some may also have wbb2_1_board and wcf2_ or even wbb1_2_board (if they have a second board – you can install two baords in one WCF – Community Framework – this is to change individually. The same goes for the language IDs. There may be more/different languages.

Signature import works (will have to see how to implement that later for buddypress maybe), just special characters don’t convert: “there’s Johnny.— – but that’s just a mini error,
languages work, too (I just have to see how to implement it),
I have whole topics with all their answers (what I did not have yesterday – instead a headache).
Categories work quite perfect, too!
Closed forums -> no idea, because I don’t have any. But it sounds correct.
BBCodes have been converted, too, besides a few like [align=center]

The sortOrder does NOT work. Simply, because that field exists in wbb1_1_board, but it is empty.
This is saved in wbb1_1_board_structure with the fields parentID boardID and position.
I tried a table join here again and probably destroyed your clean coding once again. But it works, I just tested!!
See the updated wbb.txt from the top!!

The author thing is bad,
It’d be great if they even were anonymous and not ME. Actually there are some pretty silly posts there, and I keep replying to myself this way. Hmmm…
But I can solve it with manually replacing User ID 1 with 0 where it is a topic or reply for now to MAKE it anonymous.

I tried – because of the smilies not working and the special chars in the signature – an import with uncommenting the last lines (see wbb.txt)
Some Special Characters still wrong, but who cares for the few? as long as ä ö ü ß from German language work, everything is fine.
Smilies started to work. Great!!

So the only thing left is the author and the passwords.
I tried to implement parts of a paid plugin WBB Bridge here, but even that didn’t work (plus we cannot simply use it because of the license)

I haven’t tested this myself but there are a few themes out there that support WordPress, bbPress, BuddyPress & WooCommerce so I would think that a few people have this up and running pretty much out of the box.

Your main issue I would start looking into would be managing your users and user profiles.

A seriously quick search for ‘WordPress & bbPress’ revealed this:

Which version are you using? Make sure you are using the latest (and correct) version.

There are now three versions of the Kunena importer:

• Kunena1.php for Kunena v1.x
• Kunena2.php for Kunena v2.x
• Kunena3.php for Kunena v3.x

Hi Guys

I know WordPress to a reasonable level but am completely new to forum building and BBPress. I am hoping my question has a simple answer and is probably me missing something very simple.

I have set up the forum for a charity I am working with, its installed fine and we have some test topics up and running. No problems.

The installation provides me with a forum address of http://mydomain.com/forums/forum/forum-name which is fine.

All I want to do is basically add some notes/welcome message and an image just above where the forum starts but I dont seem to be able to do it. When I go into my form and add in text or an image, in the same way you would add to a page/post then save it, nothing appears?

Any ideas at all how I can achieve this? Should this be happening in the way that it is?

Many thanks!

Justin

I am having a small issue with my website. I want to start really using the forums. I set up the registration process and the forums themselves. The one area I am having a problem is the confirmation email not actually going out to user’s emails. After completing registration, the email is suppose to be sent out but never actual arrives (I tested myself). Where exactly would I look to correct this problem?

Thanks!

[jenseo]

Solved it! Changed it to the latest jQuery version (1.10.2) and now it works like a charm!

Hello,

I encountered major problems after running the “Repair Forums” tools on my site newdirt.org/forums. It seems like all forums, topics and replies have lost their “parent relationship” and my forum looks empty. This is not a new forum installation, I have hundreds of posts. It looks the same from the admin panel, I can see forum names but they have 0 posts in them. I can see topic titles but they look empty. Replies have “No Topic” and “No Forum” assigned to them, but the content is there. The funny thing is that if you go directly to each topic link, you can see each topic with their replies (for example as accessing “Latest Forum Topics” from the sidebar: Topic From Sidebar.

Things that I did previous to this problem: upgraded wordpress to 3.6.1 and then ran Tools -> Forums -> Repair Forums.

PLEASE HELP!

Wordpress Version: 3.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.4
