First latest bbPress don’t have custom theme, instead it (merge) using your WordPress theme. And off course you can edit how the way bbPress look by customize the styles of bbPress css but it will use your wp theme not your custom bbPress theme.

I believe bbPress theme that you download are for bbPress 1.x

To be the truth, there aren’t latest completed bbPress documentation except the code itself (along with description on each code or function).

Since you are programmer that already satisfy your need IMHO.

But I found a documentation at http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress-plugin/

What I want is to personalize bbPress. For example, I want to show all posts, with a function to filter by user, area, etc… Is this possible ?

I think you can, but I’m not really sure since I haven’t do that yet.

Hi, I’m thinking about converting a vBulletin forum over to bbPress and have a few questions I hope someone can help with.

1 – Are there any anti-spam measures on sign-up? (I just had to enter an email address to register here)

2 – Do you have to have wordpress already installed? (I was thinking of testing bbPress by itself first)

3 – When you have wordpress installed, can it load in ‘latest posts from the forum’ in wordpress pages? Such as on category listing pages or actual blog posts.

4 – Is bbPress server efficient? vB has always been good on that front.

5 – Is it easy to customise? The style I will want to port over is at http://www.gameslurp.com

6 – Does bbPress track unread/new posts? So any new posts can be shown in bold on the forum listing page if they contain new posts since the last visit/page refresh?

Think that’s it for now – any input from people who have converted a vB forum would be great appreciated too.

Hello, I would like some feedback on a small issue I have been having where when the user submits their registration they are not notified that their form has been submitted successfully, rather the same page just reloads.

The data is submitted fine so the user gets an email. But I am not sure where to start with actually telling them that everything went right, or redirecting to a different page saying that their registration has been received and they should check their email.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress Plugin. The rest of the theme works fine, I am not using 2011, and have followed the instructions for turning my custom theme into a bbpress compatible theme. Just having this one issue now.

Thanks

Bump!

If my question is not clear, please let me know.

I’m running the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress (3.3.1 & 2.0.2).

I don’t really know it but you can use two browser while testing it. Use chrome when login as admin and firefox when testing a usual member.

And try your privilege configuration and testing it in both browser.

Be sure to resave permalinks, I don’t really know about it but sometime I need to re-save permalink and then I get what I want.

Hi everybody,

I just converted my phpbb3 forum to bbPress with these details:

topics: 1.290

posts: 25.800

members: 7.960

Now the really annoying part comes up. Anaylzing the source code with firebug I discovered the reason for the slow performance: There are too much queries executed! I disabled all plugins and removed all widgets (using bp-default together with bbpress / buddyPress). Still the amount of queries executed rises from 60 to 222 executions (forum view / topic index / reply) taking up to 3 seconds to execute.

I just went over to testbp.org/discussion and annalyzed the code seeing:

<i><!– Generated in 1.506 seconds. (184 q) –></i>

So looks like a normal behaviour. Tried also w3totalcache and that works fine for logged-out users but once I enable w3totalcache for logged-in users then I get strange outputs.

Does anyone have experience with a forum in the size stated above? It looks like I need to get a fully cached bbpress working to consider switching to bbpress but after spending days of work to convert and design the new website I am afraid that I will get stuck now.

If someone here has experience then please give me a shout! I really would like to use the wp / bbpress / buddypress combo but the slow performance won’t let me use it for now.

First you should disable all plugins manually using cpanel, just rename your ‘plugins’ folder into ‘plugins2’ then you should be able to enter the wp admin.

After browse to plugins page, you will see lots of errors because of no plugins located. Then rename your ‘plugins2’ from cpanel into ‘plugins’ again and try activate a plugin one by one to figure what the culprit.

Hi, wee problem. I’m looking to get the RSS feed for new topics of a forum only.

I know you can add /rss to the end of a forum URL to get the feed for it but is it possible to do so for topics only?

for example: http://www.onlyanexcuse.com/discussion/forum/scottish-football-forum/scottish-premier-league/rss/

gives all topics and replies. There is a widget on the sidebars which gives latest topics so I assume it is possible.

I’m running BBPress 2.0 with BuddyPress.

Thanks in advance.

[Themes Support]

Have you created a test forum and some topics under it?

[Anointed]

@tnwinn

The numbers represent topics/replies for each forum so if it says (3,4) that means there are 3 topics and 4 replies in that forum.

Also, I would suggest maybe upgrading bbPress to the latest nightly vs. as it does not use tables.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

download link is on the bottom of the page.

***BACKUP YOUR SITE***

The nightly beta has been just fine for me and others, but as always backup first.

Your right, your forums look horrible. I’m kinda hoping that the new theme built into the new vs. of bbPress might help you out.

Also, your theme is from a decent company, I’d also go over there and ask them for a little bit of help with the styles. There is nothing conflicting that I see, but for some reason your tables are all evenly spaced which is why the homepage looks so bad. The new theme does not use tables, so it might help.

I just installed fresh latest WordPress + latest bbPress + several plugins (I have deactivated now) + Members plugin (a role manager plugin).

Create new roles of

– Forum Newbie

– Forum Member

The problem is when I trying to manage limit access to specific forum / post’s content it not work.

As sample for Forum A I limit access only to Admin, but others still can get it. Anyone have this problem before? I still trying some possible solutions.

[aravoth2011]

Testing this now, not having any weird compatability issues. I use a child theme of twentyeleven I made. I did notice however that I lost alot of css customizations on the forum. Did you go go with a tableless layout or something?

I only mention it because I was using forum Icons on the main forum page, and it’s kinda hard to position them now. Not a big deal or anything.

Hi. I’m trying to install this super awesome forum, but I think installation tutorial too short for me.

OMG1# Plugin activated, where is forum located??? http://mysite.com/forum http://mysite.com/forums – 404! Test forum been created in settings. Wtf?

OMG2# Found only this link working for just created forum http://mysite.com/?forum=test-1 But where is general page? Where is promised installer written in docs?

OMG3# NGINX on server, what next? Guess this is a main problem. And this: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mu-wordpress-bbpress-integration-with-nginx-rewrites#post-11686 seems not what should be because forum in /wp-content/pluging and this

“

location /forums/ {

root /home/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/forums;

index index.php;

“

for what?

At this moment my forum is completely unuseable.

Thank you.

I would like to say thanks to for the latest bbPress release, but there is many way to get it the way I want it.

[amax2222]

Hi please can you assist. For some of my users the default edit profile link in BBpress does not work. It simply refreshes to the same page without going to the user/edit link. Yet for some of my users it works fine. I don’t see any relationship between those that can and those that can’t, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am using the plugin version of 2.02 with latest wordpress in MU.

I was testing the bbPress because I was dissatisfied with BuddyPress … I give up of bbPress too.. you must have confidence in a forum script to put into production .. I do not trust in bbPress… do not recommend..

Hi peeps,

I have once before integrated an older release of bbPress 2 which worked fine, i was able to get all the templates to inherit from the activate WordPress theme but in the latest release that inheritance seems to have stopped working for me. Here’s a rundown of what i have done:

1. Copied all the files from within /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to the current theme i have activated
2. I have merged the activate themes functions.php file with the functions.php file from bbp-twentyten and removed the extra 2 occurrences for style.css
3. Re-named all occurrences of Twenty-Ten to %THEME_NAME%
4. Ensured add_theme_support('bbpress') exists at the top of my activate themes functions.php file

I have tried everything i physically can, i can modify the files within my themes bbpress folder but just am unable to get the page-* files to respect my changes. I have more then likely overlooked something but i have spent a good 1-2 hours reading through thread after thread and have come up empty handy.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

how can I get these translations to have effect? I have set WordPress language to Romanian and uploaded the bbpress-ro_RO.po and bbpress-ro_RO.mo files to wp-content/languages/ and wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/ but it didn’t affect anything.

I’m looking forward to create translations for another language but I’m first testing how it works.

We still have a problem with spam and bbPress. We’re still getting 40+ spam posts a day. We have tried quite a few things to get rid of this problem but nothing seems to be working.

Currently our site is running the latest version of bbPress, we have the Akismet Plugin activated & running, and we also have the Stop Spammer Registrations reCAPTCHA Plugin for new user registration.

We have tried the reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0 this didn’t make much difference and we couldn’t use this Plugin in conjunction with the spammer registration Plugin so have removed it for now for testing.

We are running out of ideas and things to try. Here is an image illustrating the crap being posted on our forums: http://instinct-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/bbpress-spam.jpg

Can anybody else relate to this?

[shooo]

Thank you,

I was completely unmotivated last night, things are better this morning, the motivation is back.

I will re test the plugin next week, or make a manual injection.

and if it does not work, I will contact the experts:).

Thank you very much to you for your support and the information / idea.

good day
