Hi,
I was trying to convert my phpBB database to bbPress with Forumconverter. When I start the conversion script, several lines flash on the screen (showing progress) and then the conversion stops at “merging user …”
Can you, please, help me what’s wrong?
Thank you very much.
Not sure what I’m doing wrong here
I’m just using bb_new_forum($args) where I’m feeding it a string for a name and a description through an array
it’s not creating any new forums though – anyone have experience with this? I haven’t been able to find much documentation on it.
We are looking for a developer who can integrate bbress into two sites for us using the existing themes selected by our clients. Please email andrew [@] thewebfactors [dot] com with contact information and capabilities or send recommendations.
Thanks,
Andrew
Hello bbpress gurus,
First, thanks a lot for this wonderful plugin 
Now please forgive my French looking English…
I’m using bbpress on a site where I’d like to show up on some template page a list of recent posts in the forum. get_posts is my friend and that’s ok.
But I’d also like to show a nice picture of the categories in which those recent posts where posted. Well, “regular” posts on WP now can have a “Featured Image”. And I looked to add this to my forums as well.
And I think I made it
But not sure ^^
Anyway
I added this line in bbp-admin/bbp-forums.php :
add_meta_box(‘postimagediv’, __(‘Featured Image’), ‘post_thumbnail_meta_box’, $this->post_type, ‘side’, ‘low’);
in function attributes_metabox() (~ l.190)
And it seems to be working.
But as far as I can tell, there’s maybe 50% luck this code not doing some very bad things in the same time ^^
PLease advice, if there is a better way to achieve this…
Dears,
Is it possible to show the the latest topic title in a sub forum on the frontpage? See image below for example:

This is normally with every forum software and i can’t get this to work.
If been looking for this a couple of weeks now on this forum and Google but with no results.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, Im a newbie, actually have no insight on coding.
I have made a forum throogh bbpress. Right now Im only using the ‘tventy ten’ theme.
The forum, categories, recent posts, and so on keep standing in the sidebar. I cant move it to the content area.
Any ideas? would probably save me a week if I compare the problem with my processing speed the last days
Is there a shortcode like, [bbPress] or should my installation have created a “Forums” page?
It seems ridiculus that I’d have to create a separate page, with hyperlinks to each of the seperate forums. Can anyone help? Sorry for being slow at this but I have been wasting time, searching forums and watching horrible YouTube.com videos just to get my users access to your Forum. I heard it was the “best ever” and “simple” so I’m worried maybe that something didn’t install right.
Would love help! Thanks in advance!!
When my users log in for the first time I wish to direct them to their in-site E-Mail box so that they can read the Welcome letter I’m having auto generated for every user. The Plugin is Welcome Pack and it gives me the option to redirect the user where ever I like as well but I have a problem.
http://www.goodintoday.com/people/USERNAME/messages …
In the above scenario HOW do I pull the current users name and put it in there? Is there like %username% or %name% or something that I can use in the spot that will fill in with the current users name?
Just getting around to playing with bbPress after it being released as a plugin. Curious if I’m missing something but is there a way to output the reply author user role with bbp_reply_class? I’d like to be able to style the entire row for a reply if the response is coming from a moderator.
I’ve noticed a lot of people looking for plugins that add bbcode to the forum in the new bbPress 2.0 version. I was also interested so I paid attention. I think someone mentioned that the way to do it would be to use wordpress shortcodes, but that before enabling these in forum topics and replies it might be best to create a whitelist of safe shortcodes that you want to allow.
Well I waited and no-one developed this, and so I looked into doing it myself. I have now done this and added my first ever wordpress plugins into the repository! These being:
and bbpress2-bbcode
Using these two together creates a safer way of including bbcode in your forum. I will expand the whitelist to include other cool but safe shortcode plugins as I become aware of them. I also plan to add an admin page that allows manual addition of shortcodes you wish to allow.
