I have bbPress up and running but was wondering how I might be able to allow users to get an sms text message when there is a new forum post. I have played around with the WordPress Text message plugin but Wasn’t able to figure out a way to incert the codes onto the form pages.

1. I am totally new at all of this.
2. I did a quick install for WordPress and BBpress through my Hostgator Control Panel.
3. After installing BBpress, I was not able to customize the forum.
4. So I deleted the forum and installed it through WordPress through the plugin feature.
5. The forum looks alright, but I do not see anything so that users may register or login.
6. Post this message on BBpress.
Any help would be nice.

I’ve searched EVERYWHERE but I’ve not found a suitable solution. I am searching for a way to integrate the number of posts each user has under their name as well as custom user roles. There was a plugin for older versions of BBpress that accomplished this (Post count pro I believe it was), but I cannot find any way to make this happen. I’d like it to be sort of like traditional vBulletin forums are, seen here hxxp://slashconnect.org/Public_html/upload/showthread.php?10-Battlefield-1942-is-Free
My bbpress forums; hxxp://www.slashconnect.org/forums/
My attempt is to make it as close to vBulletin as possible(the forums in general) but my knowledge is limited.

I need this fixed, it likely only needs some CSS magic to resolve, I’m now fed up and need it working for a client so I’d like to pay for someone to assist.
I’ve seen this bug in a few places on the site.
I have the wrong navigation page menu item highlighting when on my forum page. See here: http://bit.ly/1j3Vrkh
I know there is a CSS work around to force proper highlighting but I can’t seem to figure it out.
The site is located at http://dev.itarsenal.com
username & pass
Go to forum page, and you’ll see what I mean, help is much appreciated.
Moderator Note: I removed the user/pass as this is now resolved
Hi,
I have a wordpress site and would like to interact with my users – however, I would like this interaction to be private from every other user on the forum. Ideally I envision a part of the forum that is for all registered users, but a separate section where I can interact with an individual – send files, chat etc.
Can this be done by using the group function – where I make a group of myself and the other individual and then keep this group private to myself and the individual? Or is this likely to become unsustainable for myself – having to keep track of what is being written on all the groups I have created?
Any help would really be appreciated! Maybe I am over complicating it if bbPress can have a secure messaging system that copes with attachments. Thanks
Hello, I am trying to integrate bbPress seamlessly into my custom WordPress theme. However, this theme defines several global variables which are then used by the theme files.
These variables are defined as global variables in header.php of the wordpress theme and are used without problems in all theme files. Example:
header.php
global $variable;
$variable = "value";
single.php
global $variable;
echo $variable; // outputs "value" as it should
So far, so good. But if I try to use the variable in a bbPress theme file, it is empty:
content-single-topic.php
global $variable;
echo $variable; // outputs ""
When bbPress is done, the variable comes back to life:
loop-single.php
echo $variable; // outputs "value" as it should
the_content(); // all the bbPress stuff, $variable empty – what happens there?
echo $variable; // outputs "value" again
Using print_r($GLOBALS), it turns out that in fact all the custom variables cease to exist for the time bbPress is doing its job and than come back to life.
How can I pass a global value to the bbPress theme files without doing absurd things like querying the database?
Hello. I just updated to the latest WordPress version 2.5.1 and now the replies in my bbPress forums threads are not showing up, only the initial thread posts. My theme is Oxygen. Any ideas?
So, I’ve added bbpress to quite a big WordPress site. While everything works fine and dandy for the admins, most (if not all) regular users aren’t able to view their profile page or edit their profile. I’ve changed all regular users to the “Participant” role, but it still simply returns a 404. Which capabilities do I need to add to the Participant to enable the profile?
Additionally, I’m generating the edit profile link like so:
`/forums/users/<?php wp_get_current_user()->user_login ?>
However, this feels a bit hacky and fragile – is there a better way?
WP 3.8, bbPress 2.5.1
Is it possible to combine Forum Index with Topics by Freshness?
ie. list the fresh topics beneath the Forum title link to which they belong?
I’m not sure why Forum Settings page has:
Topics & Replies Per Page
Topics – How many topics to show per page in the forum index
..when topics is only represented as a number – feels like I may be missing something.
Ok so I’m using buddypress, and as I understand it subscribers to my website have the comments, buddypress, and bbpress all connected. So if you upload a avatar for one it’ll be used for all. As I understand it being on wordpress for a month.
Is there a (simple noob) way or plugin to get options on avatar sizes? And somehow get it to work for buddypress, bbpress, and comments. Or at least bbpress.
In other words if users upload a square avatar it’ll be square in the comments, buddypress profile, and bbpress since they’re all connected. Or if they upload a long rectangular one it’ll be long and rectangular everywhere also. I can settle for square in the comments but I really want long ones in buddy and bbpress.
Or would I have to change the code in buddypress, and in bbpress, and somehow for the comments as I think I do. If thats the case I only ask for help with the bbpress since this is bbpress support.
I know how to change the avatar size in buddypress from this article (though I haven’t tried it yet, I like to gather information then potentially ruin my site afterwards). http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-the-default-buddypress-avatar-sizes/
Problem is I’m not sure if the cropping will still work if I change from square to rectangle as the cropping seems to only work in squares. So I found this article to deal with the cropping. http://offthewallmedia.com/programming/buddypress-crop-avatar-to-any-ratio Though I haven’t tested it yet.
So I just wanted to ask before I mess something up if there is a better way to accomplish all this or if there was a plugin or anything and if I change all these settings in buddypress would it be the same for bbpress andor the comments. Thanks for any help.
