Hi,

I seem to have successfully migrated my bbpress database (1.1) into the latest (2.11) wordpress plugin version. The problem is I dont want the wordpress “site” at all – just the forum (as it used to be in its standalone version – accessed via a link from my main site menu).

In addition I can only access the forum at present via the dashboard and ‘view’. It does not appear as a menu command on the wordpress “site” or anywhere else on that page. How does one find the forums at all on that “home” page?

What I am trying to do is recreate what I had before (with custom template too) under this new setup. I would not have moved to Wpress but was forced to as the bbpress 1 forum is getting chinese spammers every day and the registration approval plugin doesnt work at all.

I hope this is clear enough for some good help/advice! I cannot find any good simple steps to convert the one into the other. Do I have to base my entire site on WordPress now (will have to junk wpress if I am forced to do that!) or can I recreate what I had before when bbpress was a standalone forum?

Thanks

Patrick

With bbPress 2.1 out, we’ll be ramping up production on 2.2 almost immediately.

If you want to be part of the process, put your name on a bug, enhancement, or task over on our Trac in the 2.2 milestone.

Please only use this topic if you’d like to help with bbPress 2.2 development.

Hi there

Picked bbpress as it looks nice & is also linked with wp. Not the first time i used a forum plugin (simple:press years ago) but after installing…….nada, niente, nothing. The back end features are visible from the dashboard but nothing else, it act’s like it created a new page titled “forum” but it didn’t. Even if i create a new page titled “forum” still nothing. I was assuming I’d have to place some snippet on the page (like the way you’d put [nggallery-1] if you wanted a next gen gallery to appear) but if there is some code snippet to place i find no mention of it. Even this site only offers under “Simple Installation”

Simple Setup
Coming soon, I promise!

Any opinions ? did i omit something upon installation, is some documentation lacking ?

Thank you

Dear all, thanks a lot for all your effort and great piece of work!

I am stuck in trouble… I am still trying hard to create my own custom template and I am observing strange bbpress behaviour. In order to customize my bbpress template I have copied all “extras” files from bbpress plugin to my custom template. When edited, the public outcome is as expected… I am able to modify the copied “extras” files and all the changes are visible. So everything seems to be OK.

BUT… The “page-front-forums.php” index file is ignored by my wordpress site. When edited, no changes are visible on the front end. I have tried to call the index file page-front-forums.php using shortcode. It is working fine, all changes in page-front-forums.php working as expected. Strange, isnt is?:-) Why?

All other “extras” files/pages seem to be sent to front end visible with customizations and working as expected.

Thanks for your advice!

I had successfully converted a phpBB3 (3.0.10) Forum to bbPress Plugin 2.1, under WP 3.4.1 with bbPress’ built-in converter. phpBB usernames were converted, but passwords had to be reset and users were prompted to enter either their emails or usernames. Everything worked fine.

Then the other day, I upgraded to bbPress 2.1.1 (plugin), and now when a user tries to log in and supplies a password, instead of being redirected to an alert, I get this error (full path is truncated) – see below. Line 1467 is simply an instruction to process scripts in the “converters/” directory. I tried wiping out the Forum database and converted from phpBB again – same difference… Any idea?

Thanks,
nick

Hi!
I’m having some problems with the recent topics widget.
It just shows ALL topics instead of the maximum number of posts i have declared.

I know there is probably a place to do this in the theme, but I can’t find it. I would like to change the “You must be logged in to create new topics” or “You must be logged in to reply to this topic.” to hyperlink to a login, or even change the wording. Can you get me pointed in the right direction to change that message?

Thanks so much!

Hi

I have a wordpress based site with buddypress and BBpress. I use S2member for user management.

I have been unable to find a way to make a user a forum moderator.

Any help please?

Hello,
I’m using bbPress plugin with WordPress. But the problem is whenever I post a new topic or reply on forum, it shows up on recent post widget on my blog sidebar. I would like to know if there’s a way to stop this.

Thanks!

I would really like to figure out how to make users not be able to create topics in certain groups but I was on a page where someone said that probably won’t happen for a long time. So I was wondering if there was anyway I can make a topic stick to the top of the page instead of letting new topics get ahead of it? Any Ideas would be Awesome!
