bbPress.org

Hello people,

I am going to open general discussion LOCAL forum with many categories. I am looking at IPB right now but I am starting to think about WordPress & bbPress (with much customization if needed) powered forum.

All I am worried about is how optimized it will be. I think it will need fewer resources than IPB because of it’s simpler functionality, but I need an advice from bbPress “Pro” – local forum, which I should compete with has millions of posts and hundreds of thousands topics (posts for WordPress). So is bbPress right choise for this?

Thanks,

Kote

A newbie to bbPpress, I would like to build a stand-alone program to display/generate a list of replies to a certain topic using the WP wrapper

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

If I include wp-blog-header.php will that include the bbPress environment automatically or do I need to bring in other includes?

I would like something as follows but I need some help on what to include and what functions to get what I need.

global $bbp;

$myreplies = get_replies(‘123’);

foreach($myreplies as $reply) :

$field1= get_the_title();

}

Thanks!

Is there a plugin which I can put in the sidebar or at the top of each page where people can register and/or login?

I cannot seem to find anything and the result list of the plugins is kind of buggy as it shows an error when you want to display the second page, therefore I cannot really surf the plugins.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have one member, a subscriber, who cannot post on forums or reply to topics. I can’t see what the problem is and would really love some help here.

I’m attaching the two screenshots I’ve been sent if that helps understand the problem.

and

Screenshot2

This only happens for this one person (so far) and I can’t see what wold be different about her. Others have blogs and can post and reply, but she can’t.

Is it something I’ve done or that she’s done?

Thanks

Hi

I installed the upload avatar plugin, but I can;t see how to use it. I activated it. I noticed my test account pulled my gravatar, is this why?

TY

How do you set up bbPress to show forum list when accessing url like:

http://localhost:11111/forums/ at my end this is not working, or am I missing something, do I need to create a page and put a shortcode in it??

I moved the theme files into my theme folder, but for some reason the sidebar is on the bottom of the pages instead of well…..on the side. I can remove it easily enough but do I just need to move the code for it to a new place in the templates?

I had BBpress installed with another theme. The forums were showing using the default templates. Now this page is fine:

http://www.v-fit.us/forums/

But click on any forums and they are blank pages. Yet the topics work if you can get to one of those.

So I am a little confused.

Any help would be great. I have not moved any template files or anything I just changed Themes from one to another and these stopped working.

Hey,

I just installed bbPress on my site, http://melbourneskaters.com/forums

But as you can see, the main page is out of alignment for some reason, but it’s fine on other pages. I can’t seem to find where the stylesheet is not sure how to fix this, can anybody shed some light? And lastly, do you guys know where I could change the colour of those header text “Forums””Topics”” and etc that looks invisible.

Thank you for the help.

I have a new installation and can only reach the topics level of a forum (i.e. where you can post replies etc) for users who are an administrator. For all other user types, I get ‘page not found’. This is not really practical, as I can’t allow everybody to be an administrator! I am sure there is a simple fix for this, but I’m damned if I can work it out! Any help will be very gratefully received.

Many thanks

Andrew
