bbPress.org

I have a new user that said they did not receive an activation email. Can admin activate the account for them? Can they user a copy of the activation email/link sent to another address? Or are they all unique? Thank you, Jaent

i posted this in the install forum and i’m thinking that’s the wrong place for it.

i have a BuddyPress 1.5.6 forum with about 1,600 users and i’d like to convert or import those members and their posts into a bbPress forum.

i like the simplicity of bbPress and that it will work on a page of my website’s theme, so the look and feel of the forum is the same as the site.

i’ve searched here and have read about importers in the works for different forum software, but not for a BuddyPress to bbPress conversion.

thanks for any suggestions! eric.

Hello! I was experimenting with BuddyPress and bbPress, using the tutorial. When I went to check the site, I saw that it completely changed my layout, so I went ahead and removed the plugin and deleted the files. When I went back, I have no site! I still had access to my dashboard, so I quickly went ahead and put my site in maintenance mode: www.thehcgshop.com Can someone tell me how I can get it back? All of my posts and such is there, it seems that my theme is broken. Completely. Help? Biz

I searched and none of the suggested solutions work. The forums page is blank while sub-pages works fine. Take a look:

Blankpage: http://gamerslounge.dk/forums/
Looks fine: http://gamerslounge.dk/forums/forum/genrer/

Versions: WP 3.4.2, bbPress 2.1.2
Plugins: W3 Total Cache, and few standrad ones like SOE, Login.

I’m on a shared virtual platoform with LiteSpeed as server. So I only have the access to the standard tools.

Hi everyone.

I’m developing a web site with multilingual support, using WordPress 3.4.2 and the Polylang plugin 0.9.4 . I’d love to add a forum to the site, so I downloaded, installed and activated bbPress 2.1.2 .

The first problem was that bbPress didn’t switch from one language to another, always keeping the default WordPress language. I solved this calling again bbpress()->load_textdomain() before loading the header template:

function cbp_bbPressTranslate(){
bpress()->load_textdomain();
}
add_action('get_header','cbp_bbPressTranslate');

This worked great, but soon other problem appeared. If topics and replies doesn’t have translations, they doesn’t show up. I can add translation posts for they from the admin panel, but of course my users can’t. I’ve isolated the problem to the Polylang plugin: switching back to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivating all plugins but Polylang didn’t do anything. Deactivating Polylang showed the topics again.

I’ve tried other multilingual plugins like xili-language, which works great with bbPress, but lacks of customizing menus panel, wich I need on my site.

Anyone can help me? Encouraging words will be welcomed too! 😀

I have been trying to figure this out for the life of me but I cannot. I created a page called Forums. What I want is to have ALL of my forums WITHIN the forums page. So for example if someone goes to my website and clicks the forums button they will see all the available categories and be able to access this way. Is this possible?

As it is now the forums do not have their own button on my website and seem to be going to domainname.com/forums/forum/forum-5 which is not even accessible without typing the link directly.

I’m using the bbpress Login Widget in my sidebar but I’d like to move it to the top of the page outside of the main content area. I was thinking something similar to ebay. Can someone tell me where the code is for this widget or the best way of going about doing this? The site is http://retreadwerks.com/wordpressNew/

This happened on my last install a few years ago and I can’t remember what the fix was. I installed, Added a new forum, left a few replies. All looks good in the Admin panel but when you go to any of the pages you just get “No Results Found” Is this .htaccess or something?

How can i change the Freshness time?

I don’t like the layout of: 2 years, 3months ago.

I wish i could just pull the time of the last replay inside a topic, like this.
20:35 nothing more nothing less.

Is there any way to create a navigation bar link saying forums on my website. I have installed bbpress but I don’t know what to do next. I looked at a few tutorials. My website is tbolmc.com/wordpress
