bbPress.org

Hi

I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation and I don’t use standard WordPress
Authentication. I have my own login page(mylogin.php) where I capture the
userid/password and then compare with values in my own user table.

Now I am using BBPress plugin(2.2.2). I have created a page(askanexpert) in
wordpress and inside that page I have put the BBPress shortcode

.
Now from frontend when the user does login and go to forum(http://www.domainname.com/askanaexpert),
bbpress forum is visible and all the topics are visible, but forum shows the message that

“You must be logged in to create new topics.”

I think it happens because BBPress is perhaps looking for some authenticated cookie which
was not created due to my custom authentication.

Is there a way to create the cookie from my custom authentication page, which
bbpress will understand ?

I can not get rid of my custom authentication. Is there a way to fix it, so that when user is
logged in to wordpress site he/she can use the forum as regular logged in user without login again?

I am fine to do some programming, but not sure which way to go.

I’m new to WordPress, and I have installed buddypress, which I understand installs bbpress.

Is there a way to promote promote a topic to a blog post, and vice versa?

Thanks.

Edit: I changed the topic title and moved it to the plugins forum. Cheers, Netweb

I’m looking for the correct method to dequeue bbpress css from the plugin directory and also that of the css folder within the theme.

The entire site is much larger than just the forum and I really don’t want to call the css for every page as most people don’t have a need to access the forums. I’ll then enqueue the css with is_bbpress combined with is_page(array for the 2 pages that contain shortcodes.

I need to make sure that it dequeues from both locations as there is a custom css being used.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I am currently manipulating with the function that was posted on forums a few days ago and I can’t find a way round a funny issue.

I erased homepape as a first part of my breadcrumb.

There are two options right now and neither are working for me. I will present it underneath (bold means clickable). I either get this

forum>forum | forum>category1 | forum>category1>topic
or this:
forum | forum | forum>category1

I want:

forum | forum>category1 | forum>category1>topic
or this:
(nothing) | forum | forum>category1

Any ideas?

The function I’m trying to get to work is diplayed below

function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
// Home - default = true
$args['include_home'] = false;
// Forum root - default = true
$args['include_root'] = true;
// Current - default = true
$args['include_current'] = true;

return $args;
}


Thanks to @johnjamesjacoby & Co for their hard work on this great forum software.

Just added bbPress to appglobe.com ( http://appglobe.com/forums ) an hour ago and it looks very promising.

Also, since bbpress 2 doesn’t use tables as much as previous versions it can easily be made responsive.

Didn’t even have to change much of the default colors since they were very similar to the site style.

Great work, great software…greatings from Sweden

The shortcode would allow forum owners to display the category and it’s forums with their descriptions, number of topics, posts etc. on a page.

If we had this shortcode, we could set up bbPress forums to look like phpbb3 – with all categories and their forums on one page – which is what I’ve seen a lot of people asking for.

I noticed in the ‘old’ version of bbPress that there was a function called get_forums(). I was wondering if there is anything similar in the new version (2.x).

I just basically need a list of active public forums.

Hi There,

We’re working on a clients website at the moment. Their forum is currently running on BB Press and has nearly 86,000 users on, 4500 topics, 25,000 posts and is relatively active. A large number of the users are likely to be spam, but it is a fairly active forum with about 60ish users using it each day.

We want to update the forum to the latest version so that we can make use of all the newer social media implementations, security fixes and also the spam plugins to help reduce a lot of the manual work going on.

Is there anyone on here who can handle the whole upgrade process, or is there a conversion kit to get it from 1.0.2 up to the latest version? I assume going from this version all the way to 2.2 is likely to be a fairly big task, so any help here would be fantastic.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Lewis

Is there any method to display bbpress forum as the home page?, All I want is to display bbpress forum on the top of my home page and latest blogs at the bottom of my home page.

bbPress: 2.2.2

I am not sure how to register new users for my forum. I don’t want to have an open registration at all. I just want to add new users after they manually submit their info to me. How can I do this?
