Hi, thanks for the plugin!
I am solving one issue. I am using plugins WP likes and fbLikeButton and when I use the shortcode to display the FORUMS (
Don´t you know how to filter this? WP likes has at least setting to filter category on which it should not be used but what is the category for forums? Which format shall I use for “category name list (comma separated)”? url-style name of the category or name of category in “” or?? I tried the url-style category name but it does not work for me.
THANKS!
Looks like a good start but my hestitation to use bbpress is that these forums look like a ghost town. I see a post or two every day, very few responses, a theme system that is undocumented and people having a whale of a time trying to look decent just in the WordPress stock theme! As a result, I went from thinking “that seems like a good potential solution” to “anything more than the barest of forums is probably asking for trouble.”
This is a free forum – hard to complain about anything that actually works that doesn’t cost anything. However, if someone wants this project to go somewhere, I think it needs a little bit more fuel. I’m hoping that it will and figured I would give you my feedback.
The bb-attachments plugin doesn’t work any more with current version of bbPress.
Is there are reasonable solution to allow users to insert images (upload, not just add tag) into their posts?
I had recently uploaded the bbPress forum on my website and I could see many posts containing advertisements and abusive stuff. Is it possible to get a confirmation mail before the post can be seen by anyone on the forum?
Hey,
I am making a website about bbpress and wordpress and want to have the same look and feel as these websites do (small header with name and the ‘tabbed’ menu on the right etc. etc.)
Is there a theme which comes close to this lay-out which I could build upon? Or is the theme wordpress.org or bbpress.prg uses available for download somewhere?
thnx!
I have been looking throughout the internet for about 3 days and still haven’t found my answer. I have been checking around this forum as well os If my answer is posted here (or somewhere else for that matter, I do apologize.
I am trying to integrate bbpress into my current wordpress theme. I followed all of the steps in the bbpress 2.0 compatibility thread, but didn’t have much luck.
I added the support for bbpress in my functions file, and copied all of the content of the bbpress twenty ten child theme into my current theme, but still didn’t have any luck.
I am beyond lost as to how this works. I understand the support in the functions, and even copying over the file and the CSS, but I don’t know the specifics. for example:
can that bbpress twenty ten theme be implemented into ANY wordpress theme by copying those files over?
And what do we range in the CSS? Am I supposed to merge the CSS files from that child theme, with my current one?
I hope I’m not beating a dead horse or anything, Just looking for some help! 
Thanks!
Hi guys. I really love what I’m seeing here and have a great feeling about potentially moving over to this system! My needs – I have a wordpress based site:
I’m trying to decide between bbpress, simplepress and another solution to move a large forum. The problem I’m having is that I’m not sure what each one is capable of exactly. I want a system similar to this one that allows the following:
1) You can immediately post a question with minimal fuss – you can create a username, collect email, password can be generated and sent to the user (or the user can add the one they want.) The registration must be able to be entered into the main wordpress database – essentially shared user table. This might require an add on but it’s “Ask a question” text field, click “submit” and it takes you to the next page with the information I see now and an area to register a username as well as the rest of the post options.
2) Logging into the system logs into an entire multisite. I don’t mind if the user goes through the front door but I need cookies to be set properly so if i go to the wp front end, going to the forum also works and is logged in. Would be nice to login everywhere but I can put the front door login in a sidebar and problem solved methinks.
3) User profile integration. This is the one where I’m not sure happens here or how easy it is to do. For example, if I have a site at wp_4, can I have the forum profile list sync with that so I can have a link that goes to that site for the author’s profile. In theory this should work with a shared user table. I see you have forum profiles here as well as an additional link. If I have a shared user table it’s just a matter of creating a link and substitution username or userid where it belongs.
4) Is there a thread prefix system here, e.g. “question, comment, other” – or will I need to create one? Not a problem, just want to know. I see one here – is it built in or did you guys customize it?
5) Scalability issues. I’ve seen bbpress running quickly, perhaps because it’s also pretty sparse but getting better. simplepress, however, has always crawled on virtually any site I’ve seen of any size. Could it be due to shared hosting? Maybe but it always crawled on every site. You guys would have a bit more experience as to the post numbers where things start to change (I’m thinking of 70,000 threads, 210,000 posts or so I’d like to import.) Looks like others are using it with large numbers.
6) Badge rewards – addons. This is not totally essentially and I can create this with my team. Wondering what kind of a repository already exists and extensibility.
PS – originally I wouldn’t have considered bbpress but this new version is a major step up from what it used to be. Well done!
Why have support forums in 2 places for bbpress – here and on WP forums?
I think it makes the developers spend more time trying to help because they have to look in 2 places, and it confuses users who don’t always know where to post/read…
