bbPress.org

Maybe its intentional, maybe there is a plugin but:

Messaging users….Is that a buddypress thing only or is that a planned feature (plugin) for bbpress?

Note: I don’t think this belongs in installation >_<

hi everyone,

i would like to change the forum layout from compact to expanded so we can see more clearly the forums of a category.

I saw in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDAp8M7CuPk&feature=youtu.be than it was possible by using the R8 theme but how can i do that without using that theme ?

I’m working on a website that has the eShop and bbPress plugins installed. The eShop plugin alters the WordPress profile to include fields for the user’s address while this doesn’t happen with the bbPress profile. Is it possible to either:

1. Force bbPress to use the WordPress profile which has these fields, or

2. Code it so that the bbPress profile grabs these fields from the WordPress profile

I know a little php but both of these options are beyond my skills so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.

I made a terrible mistake. I allowed Buddypress to install bbPress for me.

Now I can’t find which CSS file handles the colour scheme. I’m using a dark WordPress theme so I need to adapt the background colours to it.

Can anyone point me towards the appropriate CSS file please?

Hi,

I’m thinking of switching from SimplePress to bbPress. I’ve basically dumbed down SP so much that its a basic forum. I did a ton of CSS to make it look much better than the standard theme. My forums haven’t totally kicked off yet, but I’m wondering about making the switch to bbPress.

Will bbPress be able to handle a huge forum? I realize this is a vague question. More topics/posts = larger database so caching and a decent server are probably necessary.

I’m interested in switching, even after all the time spent to make SP behave/look how I want it, because bbPress just has that natural light look so it makes me think it’ll be better for the site overall.

Thoughts about speed? Thanks!

Well I come here 1 more time because I really can not do more and I need a little help please.

I am using a child theme called Arras Classical Gamer. I test many times and try a lot of tutorial but is really impossible fix problem with bbpress.

You can see my website here www.site.teamcyanide.eu working perfectly with buddypress and pluging like BuddyPress Template Pack. That was my first hard mission but I do it well and everything work good with some change on CSS.

Now the only problem I have is that forum bbpress dont work good. For example I creat a forum called Starcraft 2 and when I clic on view look what happen:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/board/forum/starcraft-2

I create a category of Starcraft 2 forum and look:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/board/forum/starcraft-2/protos

So is simple, dont work but I continue looking here on forum and google then I try use Shortcodes from here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes, and look what happen:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum

You can see ok I can fix the CSS to make it look better, but if you clic on forum or category continue with same problem, just test yourself and can see it.

So guys please, some one can tell me please what can I do for implement my forum of bbpress in my website?

I know on internet I have other forums and scripts, but I really love bbpress and all software make it by wordpress, buddypress, etc.

Someone have mercy on me and help me a little?

Thanks.

I’ve looked at solutions around here and found some that i thought would work but they didn’t.

This is a fresh WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress install. (Installed in that order)

When I installed all of the everything went fine(i think) until i wanted to access the site wide forums from the site.

When i click on the forums link in the menu it i get a red square that says “The forums component has not been set up yet.”

In Settings>Forums>Archive Slugs i get one error.

Forums base: Forums Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page

Other then that i’m not able to see the forum index (list of categories and their sub forums) even if i add

anyone got and idea of what’s wrong (except that i’m a complete beginner at wordpress).

Is it possible to create a WP page that only logged in forum members with can see?

JJJ:

I have a question about an architectural decision. I ask not to question your judgement, but truly out of curiosity and to understand your thought process behind the decisions.

If I understand correctly, forums, topics and replies are each custom post types. I have been wondering what relative advantages/disadvantages this model might have vis-a-vis say the following:

forums – custom taxonomies

topics – custom posts

replies – comments for the custom posts

Right now I have breadcrumbs on my forum and they look like this:

example.com > forum > topic

Now to get to the forum, we’re using example.com/forum — so it’s all seo and good and whatnot, but when you click on the “forum” breadcrumb it’s going to example.com/page_id=7 — how do I change it so it goes to /forum?

Thoughts?
