Sorry for the confusion – I just meant that Akismet is a plugin, so as long as the plugin is activated… it should do a decent job of filtering spam.
I dunno if the Human Test plugin works well with “login free posting”, but it has an option to add a math problem to the topic/post posting form:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
I haven’t tested this, but this plugin was just posted recently:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/login-free-posting/
This makes the block quotes on your test thread look different in my browser:
#thread .entry blockquote {
color:red;
padding:0 25px;
font-weight: bold;
font-style:italic;
}
Just add that after #thread .entry in your style.css and change the styling rules to whatever you want.
I copied all the required styles from WP to the bbPress theme.
If you look at the source of the WP end, you will see I placed 2 <–COPY–> here markers for the Page & Cat nav, then in the bbPress backend theme options you just paste that code.
Thanks yeah, I looked at those threads and didn’t find anything. Recounting did nothing… yes… I think I did knock out that “pick a forum” thing…. however, I guarantee that didn’t cause the problem because I’ve been posting test posts left and right since then. Only immediately after deleting my tests did the problem kick in… hadn’t make any changes to the theme. It’s definitely theme related, as the default theme works… very strange. I’ll put that dropdown thing back and see what happens.
Dig this –
I’m about to lauch the forum, so I deleted all my test posts. Now whenever I try to create a new post (even logged in as Admin) I’m taken to an error screen saying “This Topic Has Been Closed” …. what’s going on?
See for yourself – http://www.triplepundit.com/forum
The only thing I did prior to it ceasing to function was delete a bunch of test posts…
Hi all,
just wondering if anyone wants to help testing with a Hybrid & bbPress theme?
The wordpress end is a child theme of Hybrid, & bbPress end is based on Justin Tadlocks experimental bbPress theme.
I’ll fix up a few bugs tomorrow & let anyone who wants it have it in the next few days.
You can set the forum url in the wp admin & the link will get added to the page nav.
You can also set user registrations to be done by bbPress instead of WordPress, and profile links to the bbPress profile pages.
There is also an area in the bbPress admin to copy & paste your page_nav & cat_nav source, not the same as full integration, but a lot easier…
Feel free to try it out, register & post rubbish if you want.

I have managed to get BBPress and WordPress Sync installed on my web site. That is, the sync plug in (the latest one) is installed and “working” (albiet not as I want it to be). There were a lot of check boxes and input involved to make the plugins (both on the BBPress side and the WordPress) work and see each other. In some of the check boxes I just clicked on them because I was unclear about what they meant.
The way I would like my WordPress to work is like this. When the user makes his comments about the blog, he is making them in the Forum. So the whole input field where he posts his responses to blogs are not there. Instead there is a link that takes him to the forum where responses are mirrored as responses to the blog.
If a user goes directly to the forum (an option I will allow). And makes a brand new discussion thread, it is not automatically posted in the blog and the responses to that post are not reflected in the blog as well.
There are lots of options on the Dashboard for setting up the plugins. Which options should I check and how do I customize the plugins such that my blog and forum behave like I want them to?
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
that was needed in your wp-config.php If you want real deep integartion there will be allot more work. I just fixed a long running problem of using all bb-press plugins in wp, i managed to do it after working on it for 4 days
test2.cell-systems.net .. I’m now able to call plugins from BB in WP (like the BBpm in the header and such)
I’m thinking about posting my fix / work but.
The above isn’t (post by gerikg) as you want to integrate bb-press into WordPress and not the other way around. I’m not posting all the work i have done yet btw as i want to run the test site for atleast 2 weeks (to see if any problems appear)
http://test2.cell-systems.net/
test setup working almost flawless, 100% valid CSS and XHTML 
Allot of css work goes into it to make the WP theme and Bb theme to work. I’m not combining both CSS files to make 1 standart css file.
Yes, in my case user statuses were preserved. I have done just basic testing so far but things are looking good for me and soon I’ll be doing it on the live site.
bbPress 0.9 can still be fastest if setup correctly.
I assure you I have more plugins running at once than virtually anyone.

And that webwait site is a very poor way of benchmarking things.
Your distance to each site also affects the load time
(especially since you are far overseas to continental USA).
For the people who can’t login. Here are the steps i have taken to make it work:
**
BBpress Part
**
all php files of bbpress
<?php bb_get_header(); ?>
to
<?php get_header(); ?>
and
<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>
to
<?php get_footer(); ?>
:: bb-config.php::
add just before the ?> ending tag:
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);
}
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-blog-header.php’);
}
**
WordPress Part
**
::wp-blog-header.php::
at the top add
<?php global $forumpage;
$forumpage = TRUE; ?>
This should at least make the login part work and replace the header + footer and in some cases (depanding on your WP-Theme??) some css
http://test2.cell-systems.net/ <- thats the testing site. It;s 01:05 here now and I need to get into my bed. I hope this at least helps a bit as it seems most people who have it working 100% don’t want to share??>>

what do you say?
i’ve installed Viscacha and was pretty surprised how fast it was and all important plugins are already preinstalled.
i remember when bbpress was the fastest. Good old times.
Hey, that’s pretty cool. I hadn’t been using the plugin, but I’ve added it and it works. Trouble is, that word “[sticky]” is still there, and so is everything else. Where would I look to get rid of [sticky] and the other stuff you can see here?

I realize the test.png icon is CSS, but some of the rest isn’t….
Hi John:
I downloaded from this website, the following page:
https://bbpress.org/download/
I downloaded the “Latest 1.0 zip” version….
Please advise,
A.
Here’s a list of bbPress professionals, although I don’t know how many of them have done development:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic
The most prolific developers are _ck_ and Nightgunner5.
Nightgunner5 has written 9 plugins that I’m aware of (I use two of them, and they are excellent):
https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/nightgunner5
_ck_ is by far the most prolific developer, with 60 plugins:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/_ck_
But according to that link above on bbshowcase (her site), she’s not available right now. If you have a larger budget though, it might be worth dropping her a line and seeing if she’s open to it.
You might also try Ivan here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/
If there are active plugin developers that I’ve missed, please let cupra know in the comments!
Good luck! And if you’re open to contributing any custom plugins to the plugin section when you’re done, that’d be great! I’d be glad to help test the plugin…
This might be a cleaner solution
<?php
switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Ignore these forums
case 29:
case 30:
case 18:
case 15:
case 4:
continue 2;
}
?>
or for including only certain forums
switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Include only these forums
case 29:
case 30:
case 18:
case 15:
case 4:
break;
default:
continue 2;
}
?>
but using that if statement, you need to change the line
<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )
and you can find the forum ID from looking at its Edit URL in the admin panel (under Forums)
Hi Chandersbs,
i am sorry i didnt get what i should do: should i edit only this part
{ //exclude forums here ?>
and fill it with the id of the forum i want to exclude?
Or should i change the ids in the following line? I only have 1 forum to exclude, and its “position” is 4, does that mean that its id is 4 as well?
<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )
Thanks!
The Process
johnhiler, you’re right!
Sorry, but I have not read.
I have commented this line too, after add the <div>:
<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”nav”>’, ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>
Thank you, again.
A last question, (I’m sorry if I should open a new thread for this): Do you know why in Tools options the checkboxes appear without check after save :S
I don’t know, maybe is just for me, but, in local I have the same problem too. Or maybe is in all instalations.
Are you using the frontpage topics plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/
The plugin used to have the exact problem you mentioned, but the latest version of the plugin fixed it right up!
I’m using this code:
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 ) { //exclude forums here ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
If you’re using the Kakumei theme, replace this with that:
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
Just change the id’s
Does anybody have an idea how to implement a plugin, which reacts upon a click on a ‘+’ or ‘-‘ sign within (at the end of) a category header within a forum list (say on frontpage) to display or hide the respective forums listed below the category header?
Eventually extending _ck_’s solution(s):
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hiding-subforms-on-your-home-page
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-exclude-specific-forum-topics-from-front-page-latest#post-9018
with a JavaScript?
Hello,
how would it be possible to exclude posts from a certain forum in the “latest discussions” section?
Like in this forum in your “latest discussions” you get posts from every forum except for “pimp your press”.
I did use the search, but i only found how to hide the category, and not how to prevent “lates discussions” from collecting posts from a certain category. Probably my English isnt good anough and miss the right search keyword.
Thanks for your advices… and patience.
the Process
