Hi!

I am encountering issues with a fresh install of bbPress 2.0 plugin:

http://squales.high-bridge.fr/forums shows 404 error.

Plugin settings are all by default. My permalinks settings are default : (i.e.: http://squales.high-bridge.fr/?p=123)

I created a page with the shortcode

Forums show OK, but bbPress navigation link “Forums” shows a blank page.

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks in advance!!

Hello Everyone,

We have a WordPress install on our internal server. Let’s say this is the address:

http://192.168.0.5/wordpress/

When either logging in, or out, it duplicates the subfolder in the web address to this:

http://192.168.0.5/wordpress/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?settings-updated=true

I have double checked the URIs in General settings, both are correctly set to http://192.168.0.5/wordpress/. All page navigation works fine.

I have confirmed that this is a plugin issue, because I disabled bbPress, and the login redirection works fine. There must be something wrong with the login redirection script that is duplicating the subfolders.

Any idea of whether this only affects localhost servers, or if it will prove to cause problems when hosted on a live site?

Thanks in advance

I’m just doing this as a favor to a friend, but there’s some problems with adding bbpress. I have tried FTPing the files up and installing using the built-in wordpress installation process, to no avail. In both instances, adding BBpress makes the entire front page of the website blank. It’s a pretty frustrating process. Uninstalling fixes the problem with no information lost.

I should note that this is a multi-site install, and I’m trying to install it only on a single site within that network (the idea being to have only a single forum common to all the sub-sites).

I’ve followed bbPress’ development off and on since it first came out (aww, when it was a wee thing). It’s made many, many functional improvements since (good job, everyone!), but it’s lacking in the documentation department, and documentation is what has always made WordPress so great and accessible. For bbPress to really become a part of WordPress, even just as a plugin, the documentation needs to be better.

After so many years in development, I expected there to be more documentation when I gave bbPress a try this time around. Instead, there was a lot of teeth grinding and guesswork on my part, mainly because there’s so much conflicting information about how things work, not to mention all the old information that’s no longer relevant. But I did figure it out (screenshot of my work to prove it!).

I know bbPress 2.1 is in development and (may be) coming out soon with many new bells and whistles in regard to themes, but I feel for anyone struggling to get the current version to work. As such, I wrote some documentation. Which may or may not be placed in the wrong location of the Codex because there were no instructions for it, either, that I could see. (Sorry, admins!)

bbPress is still geared to the web-savvy at the best of times, I’d say, so I didn’t try to go into minute detail with all my instructions; rather, I tried to make it clear what should be done for the current version. I hope it helps someone!

When you look at http://angryjacks.com/forums, you only see freshness for each main container. In order to find out which sub-forum has the most recent posts in it, you need to click again into the container (example: http://angryjacks.com/forums/forum/poker-discussions) and you can see the freshness of each of those forums.

I’d like a new view that shows the Category header as just that (no freshness) and then show each sub container on a line (like in the poker discussions container above) all on one long page.

Surely this can be done relatively simply, no?

Hi,

I am really looking forward to include bbPress in my WordPress site, but I have these questions that right now is stopping me from doing it: Is safe to install bbPress in the same database that WordPress is running on? There is a clean way to automatically uninstall bbPress in case something goes wrong? Is there any security concern letting visitors register right into WordPress?

Thanks,

I want the best plugin in auto tag. Auto tag means it has to generate the tags for each post automatically. Can anyone suggest your experiences please. Till now i used some plugins but not able to succedd that much .

Hi please help.

I’m using the latest bbpress plugin on a multisite.

If I go to the user profile page, eg. http://example.com/forum/users/username, there is an edit link next to the profile but only Super-Admins can click on this link and edit their profile from the frontend. If they are not super-admins then the page refreshes to the same page without offering the editing functions.

How can I allow subscribers etc to edit their profile page?

Thank you.

I have a comment form on a forum post page, and have no idea how to get rid of it.

I cannot find any settings where I can turn it off anywhere. I am using it with BuddyPress.

Any help appreciated.

I just spent about 8 frustrating hours failing to accomplish a very basic task with bbpress.

I want my forums & their descriptions grouped grouped by category on the index page. A long jumble of forums on different topics, only ever displayed in “most recently updated” order, or alternatively without displaying the forum descriptions, is totally unusable. I don’t want people to have to hunt through subpages to find which forum is correct to post in for an issue.

I just want an index page that shows ALL the information: Forum titles, Categories, and Descriptions, for all forums, on a page. In some sort of order that isn’t going to leave the users scratching their heads as to where to find what they want. Is that really too advanced to expect bb software to do?

Some sort of organization, on the index page, or at least headings, is really a basic feature of, uh, every single forum I’ve ever seen. Organizing information into sensible sections been a fundamental part of information design since… the printing press? The written word? Hieroglyphics? I don’t know. But bbpress’s index page is an unfriendly, unusable mess, and the only feature you provide for grouping forums makes the situation worse, not better.

I went with a plugin based solution because I didn’t want to sit and code a solution myself. After spending all day on this problem, I am aware that there are complicated, far-over-my-head solutions which may or may not work, telling me I must do things I don’t understand, and which sound to me like they may be wiped out and need to be re-entered every time a theme or plugin is updated.

I can’t put any more time into this simple need. We have multiple users in my group who are going to be able to create new categories and forums, and it needs to _just_work_ , and display an index that makes sense to users, without hours upon hours of troubleshooting and administration.
