This is a setting in your config.php, but if you are interested in limiting discussion based on time, check out this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/21?replies=1
Otherwise:
// The number of topics that show on each page.
$bb->page_topics = 30;

Is there a way to limit the number of topics listed under the Latest Discussions part?
Sorry to get back to you late here. I would imagine that importing from phpBB into bbPress will associate the users into bb_users. Being integrated, bbPress uses wp_users. That might cause some problems. Maybe you can edit the phpBB => bbPress importer to put the users into wp_users versus bb_users. That being said, *****BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST******
You might want to install a test install on your server and try it there first as I am not sure what the consequences of doing it would be. Nothing too painful, but it might make you have to make a few changes to make sure the posts get associated with the right authors! One way to find out! Good luck!
Trent
Doing that for the permalink didn’t work for me. I’ve tried it several times.
There are a couple of things I want to do with the “author” as opposed to the “last poster”:
1) On front-page.php I want to put the topic author’s name under the link to each of the latest discussions.
Ex:
Link to topic
By link to topic author
2) On the topic pages, I want to put the name of the post, then link to the post author.
Ex:
Topic Title
By link to topic author on Date/Time
Rest of post……
This type of setup is already on my forum. I’ve already got the author’s name already set up on the forum. I just need to get the author’s profile link.
I hate to ask, but did you turn on the options to show icons in the admin pages?
You need to be logged in as a keymaster, then go to “Site Management” -> “Support Forum”.
Also make sure you have the latest version of the plugin.
Otherwise, do you get any errors in your logs that might help us?
funkyloveb, so sorry for your inconvenience.
I reply to your forum to testing the Multibyte character Tag.
Do you have any way to show UTF8 tag properly?
I try this post & fix 0.8.1 still not solve the problmes.
actually, I’m bbpress fans, even I dislike the bugs, so I try the latest version, 0.8.1, but It still have some bull shit function, why admin post new reply still need to be moderate? after logout show no new reply.
is it necessary?
so sorry I lost control myself for looking just a simple forum app for my blog.
why so hassle to use it.
From what I see in topic 856, it seems I’m late again. Does your last message mean that everything’s OK now? I still don’t understand how the cache of 3 different browsers conspired against us, so maybe there’s a problem with the script. Maybe a recount is needed after use. Or it does something wrong to the database under some circumstances, I don’t know. I can say that I didn’t have your problem, but I’ve only tested with bbPress 0.74 and 0.80, and barely enough to have a feeling that it worked (posting after the import is one of the few things I tried). And all feedback I’ve had has come from this topic, so if it is something in the script, you were the first to notice.
I have no plugins its fresh install.
Thanks heaps, you can have a look but I warn you it may be ugly and hard to read as I am stuffing around with the CSS at the moment
The site isn’t live to the public but you can see it here

the topic “your first topic” should show 2 posts and there should be a second topic called “test topic!!!”
The topic tag list is a list, so marking it up as such is semantically correct, so the best practice way of rendering that list in the way you want is, as Trent suggests, through CSS.
This article covers inline lists, which is what you’re describing.
See this for a more terse example.

Tag in Chinese character.
Seems like this is some kind of cache problem. I tested it in 3 different browsers on my Ubuntu box, clearing the cache, nothing worked until I restarted my box. So I think somehow the cache got messed up.
Yeh AMP has 2 ways to embed media, one uses SWFObject to embed Flash movies, like all the youtube etc stuff. The other tests simple href links in the page for media file extensions .mp3, .flv, .mov etc, and if it finds them it loads em.
It’s just the SWFObject javascript embeds that need to be handled behind the scenes by a bbPress plugin as I take it most everyone knows how to make simple href links. For these all you need is the javascript call in the head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://PATH TO PLAYER DIRECTORY/anarchy_media/anarchy.js"></script>
And yeh, no idiocy required, apart from my own idiocy of ommission … I should really get around to documenting what anarchy.js actually does and add that to the download package so it’s all clearer than opaque mud… sort of more a translucent mud hopefully.
Since that only has to happen once, if you added the tables that should be the end of it. I tested the process on my own server and had 2 others test it on theirs. A lot of people have downloaded and installed the plugin, and a minority have had problems. Unfortunately, I am unsure how to fix this problem for that minority, but the commands you posted should work or people can copy the commands directly from the plugin themselves… it’s the first subroutine in the main plugin file (bb-privatemessages.php)
I had problems too. The table was not created. I had to do it manualy. I have all of the latest updates for both WP and bbPress so I dont know what went wrong. To fix the data base issue go to you myphp admin (data base) and give the following command.
CREATE TABLE bb_privatemessages (
pm_id BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
id_sender INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
id_receiver INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
seen INT( 2 ) NOT NULL ,
pmtitle VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL ,
message VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
created_on DATETIME NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( pm_id )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;
This solved my problems for now.
In testing, the position of the class=”login” seems to be the culprit. If it is position=relative, then the form moves to the very top and is clickable. But if it is changed to position=absolute, then it moves into its place in correctly, but is no longer clickable.
Can’t figure this out yet.

If you pre-encrypt the password and insert that value, you can then log in with your new password (in this case “test”).
Hello chrishajer
1) This topic is extremely relevant to the topic heading. It takes up more of my time if I have to view a bunch of different topics all on the same issue. When I am looking for a solution to a problem, I prefer to see one topic with different possibilities to the problem. This originating topic only started one month ago.
2) I hope it is a css problem. I can’t seem to find the double entry in the style sheet on the login form. Perhaps it is a z-index problem. I am still testing.
Just having issues with FTP right now…I will test it when I get that working again! Besides, I want to try out the latest TRAC version……..
Trent
Being the idiot that I can be sometimes, I didn’t test all the formats zeug and only tried YouTube out of the gun……if I would have tested out the other formats I would have known they worked already as I tried using the standalone player about 3 months ago…..*sigh*
I will be testing this one out for sure today!
Trent
I will test out and do my duty! Let me know the address and I can help test!
Trent
Mirce & Ardentfrost,
Thanks for the suggestions. I dug a little deeper, and got over my hesitancy, and as it turns out I have created my first, fully functioning plugin! I think this is something that will come in handy to many users, (hopefully), so I will release more details about it once I am sure it’s working properly. I am trying to add one more feature, so once I’m closer to success or failure, I’ll have a first release. Thanks again for your feedback, and I hope you guys are around come testing time!
Ron
Honestly all I did to learn was download existing plugins (there weren’t many when I started writing them, so you’re at an advantage there) and check out how certain things were performed… I also used windows search to look through the files of bbpress to see how things were done.
Once you see how it is done currently (or how similar functions work), then you can start writing your own subroutines to either intercept, replace, or just create new functions that can be installed into the themes.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about dealing with WP. I never wrote anything for WP, and the plugins of mine that play nice with WP only do so because people like Trent and spencer helped me test them.
But if you ask specific questions, there are a number of us here who can help you if we know what you’re asking 
Yeah. Request already waiting for approval.
I fixed it! o/
Remember how the cookies “looked” identical?
Well they weren’t.
The cookies created by bbpress added the hash to the end of the cookie name.
Both Safari and Camino didn’t reveal this, but Flock did. I was using these other browsers as a testing platform because I needed to clear cookies in between each test.
I added:
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';
To my bbpress config to solve the problem. (which I found on one of the links you sent me)
I actually like the idea of the cookie name including the hash. Isn’t this more secure? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this make it near impossible for another site to read that cookie?
Thanks for your help Trent!
