Hi, I’m new to bbPress and have a question:

I’ve installed ppBress 2-0-beta 3 in WordPress 3.2.1

I made a directory /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-plugins and put in two plugins:

BBcode-lite.php and allow-images.php

Where can i activate them? They don’t show up in the plugin list /wp-admin/plugins.php and i don’t see a list with the forum-settings. And the plugins don’t seen to be working.

What am i missing here?

Plugins for bbPress (2.x) work just like other WordPress plugins.

So install them like any other WordPress plugin, you don’t need to make a directory in the bbpress directory and put em there or anything.

Make sure they’re compatible with bbPress 2.x though.

@pimarts: thanks

I can activate them now.

It would be nice when the readme.txt of the plugins would tell me that too

It still doesn’t work, no buttons to make up the text or add images in sight though , i will look further.

Are you sure the plugins are made for bbPress 2.x? Otherwise you’ll be spending a lot of time looking into it without any result in the end

Well actually, all I want is some buttons for text markup and links and a way for users to add a picture to the post. Apparently the plugins I picked can’t do that.

I really like bbPress a lot, as far as i can see. It’s simple and the visitors of the site i’m building it for aren’t geeks, so it looks just perfect. But adding a picture and links would be nice.

You might want to give this one a try:
