Article comments should be integrated into defoult’s bbpress in my opinion.

bbPress Topics for Posts

I do not understand why this function does not actually exist and wordpress mentine these two desired services. In this way today few people leave comments and few people write in the forum …
I saw that the creatre of this plugin is @Robin W so I would like to ask him why wodpress doesn’t take this option into consideration.
Also I’d like to ask why this plugin hasn’t been updated in a while.
Thanks

Hi all, I have an answer: is there an option to have the topic created automatically as soon as I create the post? It seems working only when someone actually reply, but it could be useful to create the topic automatically if you want to keep the blog and the forum somehow synchronized. I would prefer to have topics without any reply, than only few topics.

@mc9625 what have you got set in

dashboard>settings>discussion>bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults>Create a new bbPress topic in… ?

[Ricsca2]

In future updates it would be nice if you could add a little more text in the created treads.

@ricsca2 – I’m pretty sure it just uses the wordpress default excerpt length, which you can amend – see this for 3 methods

How to Change The Default Excerpt Length In WordPress

if this works, please post back so we know 🙂

@ricsca2 I’ve just released version 1.8.5 which should fix duplicate topics being created

[Ricsca2]

I noticed something else that could be improved.
When users are not logged in, the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

you are presuming that what your site shows is the same as everyone else’s – can you explain what you mean?

my test site shows what I would expect

[Ricsca2]

in these two options it is not clear that they are comments.

above it should say “Write a comment”

and in the option “Follow this link to join the discussion” the link should be a prominent button.

[Robin W]

for ‘Follow this link to join the discussion’ – you are welcome to style it as a button if you wish

go to

dashbaoard>settings>discussion and change

Follow this link to join the discussion

to

<div class="myButton">Follow this link to join the discussion</div>

you can then style a button, if you don’t know how go to

[Ricsca2]

can you automatically insert the “leave and comment” look?
Thanks

sorry, I don’t understand the question?
