Thanks for your reply chrishajer, much appreciated & sorry about late reply (i got bogged down with some other work). I am using the latest unstable version 1.0. I am using this version because the site is not finished so I don’t expect to launch it for a while – I thought I might as well get use to the changes while I can.
Anyway, the site in question is http://betting-forums.net/beta/
On the homepage the latest tab is current dark grey/black. When a user clicks the racing tab (or anyother forum tab) I want that tab to change colour to dark grey/black – basically so that the user knows what forum they are currently are on.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Good call. That alleviates one problem.
On to the next… Now all of the JavaScript loads properly and when clicking the “add to favorites” link, the ajax kicks in and works as per normal and makes it look like the link was added. The link actually shows in the database as a favorite, but the theme fails to load them correctly.
I’ve tested this on the stock template also with the same results.
Removing the WordPress integration from the bb-config.php file brings everything back and they work just fine. Comparing with WinMerge the source of the same page with and without that integration, they are identical. So somewhere something is getting in the way.
Hello.
Installed wp2.7 in root dir, and bbpress alpha 6 in sub-dir. Enabled permalinks, added code to htaccess in sub-dir.
Test 1. Logging in to wordpress admin.
Navigate to comments: shows logged in as admin user
Navigate to forum: not logged in
Navigate to forum admin: not logged in
Test 2. Logging in to bbpress admin.
Navigate to comments: does not show as logged in as admin user
Navigate to wp admin: logged in as admin
Is this how it’s supposed to work?
More info:
After adding the following lines of code to the wp-config file:
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
This does not change anything except, if I am logged in to the WP Admin, I can not log out. Clicking Log Out presents:
“You are attempting to log out of The Site
Please try again.”
Am I missing something with the code above? Should I be adding the domain name somewhere?
I appreciate your help.
Blocking a user “breaks” their password. Unblocking them is supposed to remove the gibberish from the password field in the database. “Inactivating” a user does not break their password.
With that said, blocking/unblocking works on my test forum, so I have no idea why it wouldn’t on yours.
When unbanning people (setting them back to ‘member’) it states their new role within the admin, but when they try and log in they are still banned.
Manually re-setting their password solves the issue.
I presume this is a simple issue of the role not being updated properly. The problem does not exist when changing from ‘inactive’.
In 0.9.04 this is. Not tested it in 1.0 yet.
thanks – in the end i used a PHP redirect on front-page.php which seems to be working fine. i moved the tags and other sections from front-page.php to forum.php which worked (doing it the other way around didn’t work).
thanks for replying.
Do you have access to .htaccess on an Apache server? You could just put this in your .htaccess file:
Redirect 301 /forums/index.php http://www.example.com/forums/forum-1/
Without knowing your two URLs, it’s hard to guess, but it can be done fairly easily like this.
a-ha – i’ve managed to do this but now i just need a way to safely redirect users to the forum rather than the front page.
I only have one forum, so there is no point in BBPress giving me a seperate front page and Latest Disussions list. Is there an elegant way for me to integrate the sidebar into the forum listings page? I tried chopping up the templates but I can’t seem to get the code right.
so i guess i answered my own question… apparently you have to use the unstable “alpha” version of bbpress with the latest version of wordpress:
Download
Where do you see “Hot Topics”? I see Hot Tags and Latest Discussions. Which one do you want to hide?
Yes, it’s possible. You need to find the section in your template that displays them, then just remove that section. For Latest Discussions, it’s in the template file front-page.php. Removing that whole section won’t hurt anything.
If you remove Hot Tags, you will have a big white space over there. After removing that from the template file, you might want to adjust the CSS to make the other part of the page wider so it uses the space where the tags used to be.
Basically, it’s all done in your template files. If you’re using the stock template, you should make a copy of that, then make your modifications there.

Hi
This may sound like an odd thing to do, but I’m intending to adapt bbpress to enable members to self-register and upload articles for review, and only Admins see these posts. (Therefore, _ck_’s Hidden Forum and Attachments plugins are great, as are the Instant_Password & Human_Test).
Though to stream-line this further: when a person registers, they post/upload there article in an a Submissions forum, but I don’t want anyone else (apart from admins) to see this type of post.
Could the bozo setting be used? That is, when a person registers, there status is by default bozo, therefore no other registered users can see this post.
Can this work, and how to default a registered user as bozo?
thanks
Using the method above, a new user registering in WordPress is given the proper role/capability in bbPress. So far this appears to be the best integration yet. I will of course do more testing, but so far so good!
Note: This also proves compatible with the WordPress “Register Plus” plugin.
As of today, Alpha6 is still not in the download link.
This method above is what I used to upgrade to alpha6. Have not tested new users yet however.

Good call that – validating the CSS seems to have let me do what I wanted. Thanks!
Hey,
Thanks for the Reply…
I guess i may have to wait, but in the mean time, Is there ay pages available to see existing HOOKS on bbpress 0.9+. I guess it may help with testing randomly. who knows, I may get lucky

Not yet – that discussions2 div class was something I made in an attempt to change the look of the links that the latest discussion plugin displays. I’ve decided to have a go at validating these errors before I attempt anything else.
Did you resolve it? It’s in your WordPress theme CSS.
Anonymous User 1502623Inactive
Yeah I keep meaning to look at them. I just assumed that because I’m using bbpress as the forum on my site, with the bbpress latest discussions plugin, it would’ve had something to do with bbpress. Oh well.
You mean the “Community” section on your WordPress site?
You need to change your .discussions2 style in http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/wp-content/themes/revolution_magazine-40/style.css:
.discussions2 {
font-weight: none;
}
There’s no such font-weight. You want:
font-weight: normal;
It pays to validate your CSS:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.audioscribbler.co.uk%2F
You’ve made the same error in other places as well.
Also, this has nothing to do with bbPress really, it’s more of a Revolution Theme or WordPress question.

hi guys, site is http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk
Basically, I’ve got the latest discussions plugin active in the sidebar, but I can’t find the necessary code to edit to customise it. I’ve create a custom DIV class (this managed to change the line-height) but I can’t get rid of the bold properties, I can’t change the font – I’ve looked on the widgets.php page and can’t find it, and editing the plugin itself doesn’t seem to work. Anyone got any ideas? thanks
my site is bdennstudios.com/forum and i used bbpress-0.9.0.3 which i think is the latest version.
In general I try to keep up with WordPress releases as well. The upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.6 included these bug fixes:
https://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=2.6
In 2.5.1 the AUTH keys thing was really sorted out, so they changed that in 2.6 and that’s the main reason 2.6 is not compatible with the 0.9.* branch of bbPress.
If you don’t require integrated logins between the forum and the blog, then you don’t have to upgrade your bbPress to use the latest WordPress. If you do need integrated logins, then you probably need to wait for the 1.0 branch of bbPress to upgrade WordPress to the latest.
Alpha-6 came out a couple days ago, so really no one knows until we all start testing our plugins.
Hello whoever you are…
I already begin playing around with alpha version of bbPress for some time now… and trying to put together some plug-in’s to make it work properly…
There seems to be quit few Plug-in’s working with the Alpha version already… Now: i was looking for a Moderation Plug-in… There is only Quit few available and the one called BB MODERATION HOLD seems to be working fine, excerpt that It doesn’t Display the Post back to User or any other message to confirm the Post has been Taken into account and awaits moderation… So I was trying to append and make it display message on POST and Also, Show the Post BACK to user (and admins / Moderators) in LISTING with others with simple mark of awaits moderation.
There is not a Clear documentation available like wordpress for available Filters and Action…
For now, I want a Filter to Append the Query when it’s Querying For the Topics in Forum, Latest Topics, Sticky Topics and each so I may Append the Where cause to List the Awaiting moderation Post to Owner (User) and Moderators / Admins.
It would be great if anyone may give me a List of WORKING filters available to use i Current TRUNK version (Alpha 6)…
original Plug-in: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/
Thanks
Rajeevan
