I looked at “http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks”, it reads: “For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields.”

I can’t seem to be able to use the recommended link structures with bbpress forums and topics such as /%post_id%/%postname%/.

Will the permalink structure greatly affect the loading time of my different pages or has this issue been resolved with the latest version of WordPress?

Hello,

I have just updated my test site from buddypress 1.3 to 1.5

and installed new bbpress 2.0 plugin and it looks/ works good, with our custom theme

thanks!

we have over 10k topics in buddy press group forums,

anyone successfully managed to move all group forum topics/posts to standalone bbpress forums?

is there any converted available (or any chance someone is working on it)?

[David Decker]

The awesome bbPress Plugin 2.0 is finally released!

So for all German users I have the language files ready for download – in formal (SIE) and informal (DU) version. Both were tested/used in production environments so should work like a charm.

Just DOWNLOAD here:

Have fun, Dave from Germany

With the very exciting new “forum shortcode as comments” feature currently being tested on testbp.org, quite a few questions come to mind. Seeing as the test site isn’t really meant for real conversations, I’ll ask my questions here.

(1) For starters, I’m assuming this will also work without BuddyPress in the mix?

(2) What if I’m running a multisite, separating content into two or more blogs?

example.com – main blog and forum.

devblog.example.com – secondary blog, no forum.

So in the instance that I make a post on devblog.example.com that I’d like to attach a forum thread to, would that be possible?

(3) Has this been tested with different post formats?

(4) Also, the idea of multiple posts pointing to the same forum topic is very cool, but what about the other way around?

Say I write a post about an already addressed topic (there is an existing thread about it) but I would like to open a new thread of discussion for some fresh opinions. Being able to point to multiple threads would be very handy. Maybe there’d have to be one main topic, but others could be added as links, pretty much like a pingback.

(5) Showing the first post in the forum thread in the blog post, especially in your example, seems counter-intuitive to me. Have you considered (tried) working around that?

[Erlend]

This is now possible:

http://testbp.org/2011/08/forum-shortcode-as-comments/

Though it’s still unclear to me whether or not this relies on BuddyPress 1.5, the environment in which this functionality is showcased. It would be a very odd dependency though, so I’m hoping this would also be possible with WP + BBP alone.

[Re-Defiler]

I have a bbpress (classic) install with WP deep integration, and figured I’d get a head start on formatting my test install for the eventual release of the plug in. So far I’ve got almost everything styled nicely just using CSS, but I’m stuck on removing a few things that seem to clutter up the presentation of the forum.

1. Does anyone know how to remove the “This forum contains X topics and X replies, and was last updated…” from the main Forum and topic pages?

2. How about how to remove the modification history section and the post # display from posts.

3. Remove the extraneous breadcrumbing, right now it’s Site>Forums>Forum as the default ‘Forum” page. Seems like one level too deep for default bbpress forum starting point. SInce my site will only have 1 forum, is there a way to clean up the sloppiness or at least hide the useless ‘Forums’ link in the breadcrumb?

[Anointed]

‘techy’ fix: (requires php experience)

the bbp_has_topics() function appears to function almost exactly like the wordpress loop.

In the bbpress plugin folder /bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php line 68 is the bbp_has_topics function.

It takes the parameter post_parent which you can assign as the id of the forum you are trying to pull posts from. There are also a number of other parameters you can set as well.

‘non-techy’ fix: someday I am guessing there will be a widget available which will let you make the filters with a gui.

Hi guys,

At the first time I installed WPMU+BP 1.5-beta-3+latest bbpress from plugin directory. It’s working perfect on my latest WAMP on Win7. I have both group discussion(built-in bbpress on BP) and the bbpress Forum which you can handle it from Admin panel. Fully integrated with BP1.5-bera-3 Activity Stream. Whatever you do is going to be on your Activity Stream right on time. Even if you mention someone in forum is going to be OK too.

Funny thing is I can’t do the same thing anymore! I tried to do that on Ubuntu server 11.04 with latest XAMPP+ Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 with latest XAMPP. Second one(Mac OS X) is not possible because released XAMPP it’s not up to date enough(PHP still old version and not working for BP-beta-3 or for any other reseaons).

On Ubuntu(or Debian, CentOS), everything is working perfect except Activity Stream and mention thing. Even now I’ve been trying to do the same thing with another installation on WAMP on Windows, it’s not working. I’ve done it 100 times with different strategies. Old or new, I did all of them. Even I check Server time and time zone in WP settings. Still not working.

I almost forgot what I did at the first time! As far as I know based on comparing with the first one which is working well, what ever I create in bbpress it’s not gonna insert in any of wp_bb_ tables.

I’ve done every clean installation on three different OS(Win, Ubuntu, Mac OS X) with latest release WAMP, LAMP, and XAMPP.

Please give me a something, anything.

Thanks

BBPress Widgets: Topics List / Reply List …..

Although forums are marked as private the widgets will list latest topics and replies for logged-out users and users which shouldn’t even be able to see the topic title. Got me? Just try it out yourself. This should be changed before going final cause it’s a security issue. Once marked as private it should be really private!

[common8308]

I’m now using bbpress 2.0 and buddypress 1.2.10 and the shortcodes and widgets have been very useful to the not so techy users like me.

The situation is that I want to show only one forum’s latest topics, is there any plan for releasing shortcodes with more detailed options or a way to make it possible manually?

Thank you in advance!

[faverio]

alrighty, with your help, anointed, I’m getting the hang of this now. I’ve created new pages with bbpress shortcodes, and linked them accordingly. Now I am testing the registration process and I have one question.

Instead of having new users login via the WordPress Dashboard, can I make it so they stay at the frontend? Does that make sense? I do not want them logging into any kind of WordPress backend.

Thanks again buddy.

[kittymcooper]

Thanks, I will wait for the plugin then. I have shut down the forums for now. I will experiment some more with them on my test system. Really like how bbpress looks and feels but I don’t really need a forum

[kittymcooper]

I just installed a BBpress forum using the plugin on my new wordpress site a few days ago and today I see two strange posts claiming to be password protected????

One was clearly spam and the other weird so I deleted both users and all their posts. When I did a test post with my own test user this did not happen.

Any thoughts on this?

How to do something like that, man, it looks A.W.S.O.M.E. )

Any guide, tips?

[c0cc0bill]

Unfortunately I started the subscribe test with rc5. I do not know if the emails were leaving with rc4. I asked some of my forum testers. I’ll let you know. Thanks

[Gautam Gupta]

Yes, if I remember correctly, groups are created as forums internally in bbPress and are sub-ordinate or children of a parent forum created by BuddyPress. When you’re done with your import, you can easily move out all of the forums from that parent and do a recount. Sorry for the late reply.

[Jaja..]

I found a problem,

I have a WP Multisite installation and when i log-in and log-out the redirect ends up on a 404 page. (only on WP multi sites)

http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/example.nl/members/?loggedout=true

I’m just testing offline at the moment.

http://localhost.sites/example.nl/ <– WordPress homepage

http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/ <– 2nd WordPress site (WPMU) with bbPress forum.

I installed 2.0.5Rc5 for my WP installation (latest stable) and encountered that when I see the list of the forums the_title I have in my template is set to the name of one of the forums instead of being “Forums”.

I am new here and sorry in advance if I’m logging this problem in a wrong place.

Also I would like to learn where can I get(buy) themes for the forums that look like the one here. Styling it myself is fun, buit I’d rather reuse.

[Steveorevo]

Just tested bbPress 2.0-rc-5 on WordPress 3.2.1. I assume this feature is to send emails to user that have subscribed or checked the “Notify me…” checkbox in a forum topic? I’ll try running a trace.

On another note: GREAT JOB bbPress!!! I’m liking the cleaner integration, and simple plugin installation of bbPress inside WordPress. WordPress is very refined and launching/integrating (read: seamless login/logout) with WP is fantastic. Thanks for working on this project!

[ineken]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to display in my sidebar the latest replies, not just the avatar and name of the topic like the widget, but the avatar, the user name and a link to his profile, the link and name of the topic and particularly an extract of his reply.

I really do not see how i can do this, could you help me?

A link to a tutorial, or other would be perfect

Thank you in advance.

[miruru]

Not sure where this should be posted, here or on buddypress.

I currently have buddypress 1.5-beta-3 and bbpress 2.0-rc-5 running on my test site and I would like to hide the topics and reply count via the functions.php.

I am also using a custom child theme so that any modifications will not be overridden after updating. The only thing I have in my custom child theme is a blank style.css. I tried entering some styling into the blank stylesheet but nothing is displayed, it’s as though it is ignoring my stylesheet and retaining the default especially the next gallery css but this is another issue. Whenever I add a functions.php with something in this, the site falls over.

Anyway, what coding would I add into the custom child theme functions file? I know that if I copy all of the bbp_list_forums(), I will get an error to say it cannot be redeclare. By the way, the custom child theme is located in my themes folder.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I have an install of WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.10. I am trying to install bbPress 2.0 rc5. The install goes well and I can successfully link it to BP but then when I go and view the site it is just a blank page.

This is a clean install with only one user as we are testing proof of concept for migrating our sites to WP/BP and the bbpress or WP/phpBB using the WP/phpBB Bridge.

I have over 10 years of web development experience but I am new to WP products.

[Adam]

What are the steps to set up bbpress and buddypress on the same site like the testbp.org? is it as simple as activating the bbpress plugin? can I integrate bbpress into the existing buddypress theme? via the steps posted in the sticky under step 3 bullet 2?
