I’m trying out the latest version of the BBpress plugin using a basic Twenty Ten child theme. Is there any way to have the forum display using the one column template?

I updated some of the verbiage and changed a few of the behaviors of the importer from bbS2P to being in core. It needs some heavy testing. This kind of data migration is not something that should be taken lightly, so let’s get it polished up for when 2.0 goes gold.

bbPress 2.0 beta 1 is now available in WordPress extend for public testing.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

[John James Jacoby]

Where can I download it?

1. Your WordPress admin area

2. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

Where do I report bugs?

1. http://bbpress.org/forums/ (use the tag ‘bbpress-plugin’)

2. http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

Where can I report a security vulnerability?

1. http://wordpress.org/about/contact/

2. jjj in #bbpress on freenode on IRC

Where do support questions go?

Use these forums the same as always, and use the tag ‘bbpress-plugin’

Does this integrate with BuddyPress?

bbPress 2.0 integrates with BuddyPress activity streams, profile links, and avatars. bbPress 2.0 does not yet integrate with Groups, but it also will not conflict with them. This means there are no code conflicts or errors by leaving both activated.

Forums and topics are not showing up in my theme!

Try resaving your permalinks.

Is there an importer from a 1.0 installation?

A first attempt is included, and it needs testing. That’s where you come in!

Where can I contribute translations

http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/

Where is the documentation?

In the code itself right now. There’s not a lot of sense in creating documentation for pre-release software, as anything is subject to change. There will be a bbPress codex coming soon after release, so sit tight.

Why can my admin post videos, and normal users can’t?

Admin accounts in WordPress are granted a specific capability that enables them to post any kind of content they choose. Normal users do not have this ability, and are restricted to a specific set of HTML tags.

What is happening to bbPress 1.x?

It will continue to be maintained into the foreseeable future but is feature frozen, meaning no new features will get put in.

Can the bbPress Plugin 2.0 Beta be installed without WordPress?

No. bbPress 2.0 is strictly a plugin for WordPress.

How can I set which users can do what things?

You’ll want to use existing WordPress plugins if you want to customize the capabilities of your users. Start with Members or User Role Editor but be careful! It’s possible to lock yourself out of your site if you remove your own capabilities, so don’t fuss about if you’re not sure what you’re doing.

I am wondering what the file name for a single-posttype.php is for the bbpress plugin. I am testing it and would like to have add it’s own template. And is there a template that already exists I could add to them file?

Thanks!

First pass at RSS2 feeds is now in the plugin. Surprisingly, not as easy as I thought they were going to be, so be sure to test these. They are accompanied by 2 new settings options to control the per page count of their RSS feeds.

Starting to run out of room in the theme to put links to feeds, so still working that out. Until then you can access topic/reply feeds by appending “/feed” or “/feed?type=reply” to single topics and forums.

1. Change the forums base to something else. I am running it perfectly fine over at testbp.org by changing the base to ‘discussion’

2. The reason for the double ‘forum’ is because your root slug is ‘forum’ and the forum slug is ‘forum’ and you’re choosing to include the root slug.

3. Don’t remove the forum slug.

Widgets should work anywhere you have a widgetable area. Since your theme is mostly custom, you’ll want to research how widgets work, insert your sidebar, etc…

Hi

Testing the new plugin atm here bfstuff.se/forum but have alot of problems to get it to integrate with the theme.

I tried to add the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my thmes function.php but that just make my forum disappear completely.

Also is there a way to use my old database with the new plugin, i have and old bbpress forum with posts etc etc

Cant find a database with the new plugin, maybe it doesn’t use one?

@tooltrainer – unrelated, and fixed. Try the latest revision. Was a bug with subforums, categories, and topic/reply counts.

So far, so great!! I actually grabbed JUST the file with this fix in it last night and threw it on my production site. Fixed the problem immediately! Now we’re working on re-integrating a clean install of the latest bbP build into our theme, and making sure everything stays happy.

JJJ, you’re a star. Thank you again for being so willing to actually investigate and fix this issue, and quickly too!

Will let you know if I run into any issues with it but I’m very optimistic.

@CrownOfMars – Try the latest revision and let me know if it’s fixed for you. Was a regression from fixing something else.

@Rick Lewis – You haven’t started over, because you still have a custom theme. It looks to me like you still have

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

in your custom theme, even though you don’t have any bbPress files in your custom theme to actually provide bbPress support.

Using the add_theme_support() method is what tells bbPress not to use its own internal files, and just let WordPress do its thing and figure it out. In that case, bbPress will follow the normal template hierarchy for WordPress (archive.php, index.php, etc…)

So you either…

1. Copy the bbPress files out of the bbp-twentyten folder into your custom theme and use the add_theme_support() method, which allows you to use page templates.
2. Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed.
3. Create your own completely custom method of handling bbPress, which is possible to do but way more work than it’s probably worth doing unless you need something *really* tricked out.

Hello ^^ Im new here and ppbress looks interesting..

I tested a Mingle Forum for the beginning and its still cool but bbpress looks better.

I would ask if it possible that , if i write a comment on my wordpress blog, then it will write a forum reply automatic. of course, if i write a forum reply it will show as a comment on my wordpress site ( article )

Of course, that if write a Article, it will automaticly add a Thread in the forum, + comments/ replys…

sorry for the English, ^^”

and thanks for the help

greets

Yes Yes, I’m sure!

I don’t know how to do, and I can not do many tests because the forum is very active.

One idea that occurred to me is to make copies of the databases and delete everything and start from scratch without the integration of wordpress, but I have all users actually on wordpress, and I have no idea how to pass the users from wordpress to bbpress.

Would greatly appreciate your ideas

many thanks

I’ve updated the script, the latest version can be found here which addresses the issues highlighted by jonkristian (replies not being displayed) and Rick (errors from plugins – turned debug option off by default, though it is recommended that you turn off all plugins) and some others too.

Rick: You should put only the bbs2p.php file in the root directory (where you have wp-config.php. Then change those lines to:

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forums/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

JJJ: I’m on that.

Interesting… I guess what has me puzzled is that I would expect something like this to be universal – either everyone using 3.1 with bbPp sees it or they don’t. Clearly that’s not the case, although my coder in Pakistan sees the identical behavior that I do.

I wasn’t sure what version of WP (or the plugin for that matter you were running on testbp.org and wanted to see if anyone else running the identical setup as me, was seeing the same issue. Nobody has chimed in seeing they do so, either it’s just me or nobody else is following this thread.

ANyway, I’m really hoping you manage to spot something specific that is causing this so that it can be fixed. As great as it is that it doesn’t occur in 3.2, obviously I’m not going to upgrade to that in its very first beta, on a real site.

Still in limbo on what exactly I’m going to do, I need my forums working by Monday… kinda freaking out as to what to do if you’re not able to identify the issue and a fix any time really soon.

Thanks as always,

Jonathan
