We are considering using bbPress for a project. Is it possible to setup nested comments similar to the following example, ideally using bbPress settings?: http://screencast.com/t/pHi1Hjka

Hi all,

I wonder to know how to add the featured image on the blog index. I searched for previous enquiries about that subject but not found an answer.

The forum page where to add the featured image: http://www.battlefield-france.com/beta/forum

Thanks for your help!

Hi, how can I remove the sidebar from my forum page? I’m trying to get a full width page for the forums. I’m using the 2012 default WordPress theme, http://goo.gl/kC0X2

Kindly advise.

Thanks!

We started a forum on a WP blog using custom post-types as the forum posts, giving users front-end access to a post box. We’ve decided to move to using bbPress for the forum.

We have two instances of WP. One currently using the custom post types, and another we’re developing with BuddyPress and bbPress. When it’s time to switch to our new system, we want to keep the conversations that were created in the custom post types, and convert them to bbPress topics.

I’ve found a few plugins that claim to convert posts to bbPress topics, but the primary issue I’ve run into is that these scripts and/or plugins do not bring the post’s comments along as well.

I need my custom posts and comments to become bbPress topics and replies.

Looking at the plugins, it seems I just need to change the post types in the database to the correct types (eg., ‘custom-post’ and ‘comment’ into ‘topic’ and ‘reply’). If we get into the database to make those changes, should that work? Or is there something further we need to do?

Other ideas?

I am attempting to import bbpress 1 forum into the new bbpress plugin on a new site using the Import Forums tool in WordPress. I successfully did this in a test – once. I tried to do another test and haven’t been able to do it again successfully. When I start the conversion I get the yellow box at the bottom “Starting Conversion” and the turning wheel… the wheel keeps turning… an hour later, it’s still turning. It’s not progressing. I have to quit out of it. There is no new data in the DB. What is the issue here?

Hi, i would like to give name to categories Members : For example i have a forum about cats and a forum about dogs, i want that users who speak into the cats forum are called “cats specialists” and i want that users who speak into the dogs forums are called “dogs specialists”. Is it possible ?
Thanks for your replies.

Hi there,
I am new to BBPress & would like to know the answer to a few questions please.

1: My current WordPress website uses a 3rd party plugin called “Capability Manager Enhanced” which allows my visitors to register to access specific content. I have created and named these user catagories:
Light
Standard
Professional users

I have created 3 forums on BBPress with the name names – Light, Standard and Professional customer forums. Will it be possible to use a 3rd party plugin to only allow specific user roles to access one of these forums?

Thank you

I’m helping some friends with their website. I set it all up using WordPress and BBPress and they have asked me if I could setup a moderator user roll for the forum that would give a user limited powers but allow them to open / close / lock threads. Is there a plugin for this, or a way to set that up in BBPress already? I looked around in the plugin settings but don’t see that option anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a section in my bbPress Forums (bbPress 2.3.2 + WordPress 3.5.2) related to SQL.
So … users will post SQL example code, but it appears bbPress is simply rejecting the entire post, without even a warning.

Is this a “standard” filtering by bbPress (to avoid injections)?
Is there a way around this limitation?
Does it involve only a few keywords/characters?

(Yes; I did try Google and searching this forum)

Any help or insight would be very much appreciated 🙂

Hey guys!

I’m using the genesis framework with the Metro childtheme (http://d1021797-400.nedlook.com/airsoftclubnederland.nl/forums/) and Metro has these (imo) cool big titles. But its really unneeded on the forums.

I already know I can put the CSS file in my theme folder but when I mod the title attribute, the titles on normal pages and will also be smaller. Its not being restricted to bbPress as both (WordPress and bbPress) use the same title attribute.

Where can I add a class to the bbPress titles? I imagine I need to modify a core file somewhere.

That way I can simply copy the CSS from the metro title and put something like: div class bbpresstitle in front of it and make it so that only bbPress uses that bit of CSS.
