Hello everyone!

I am new to bbPress but am pretty excited about it! I run a few gaming websites, each with its own userbase and forum. I now want to move to WordPress Multisite to create a network of my sites, merge all users into a single userbase and have a common forum for all sites. This all should not be a problem from what I have read, but I am still wondering about the multisite features of bbPress… What I’d like to do is having a forum on the main network site with one subforum for each site in the network. Now, to have a consistent user experience regarding the look of things, would it be possible to display said sub forum on a network site? If not, is it possible the other way round, i.e. displaying forums from network sites on the main network site?

Hello,

I hope i have successfully installed bbpress into wp using the child theme (BJ’s walkthrough (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility/page/3#post-92099).

I can see the title page of the forums at http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums,

but when i try to go to a particular forum or a topic, i get “Paged not found” error.

I suspect there might be a problem with the templates. Or might this be something else. I didnt change any bbpress settings.

I can see every forum or topic i create, but i cannot access their pages. Please help

Is anyone interested in helping to make an xmlrpc API for bbPress 2.0, perhaps mostly the same as the current bbPress 1.x api?

I tried earlier but gave up because I didn’t know where to start.

Hello everyone,

I have two questions. First, is there a way to make it so the user doesn’t have to enter a username or e-mail in order to post? Like it will always give them the username “Anonymous” and email “example@example.com” or ever better would be completely removing that input form, how could I do that?

Second question, is there a way to make it so that a “preview” of text shows up underneath a new topic? for example it would look like

New Topic Title

“Some text about whatever the user wrote about in their topic”

Thanks!

bbpress 2.0 was working pretty well until i installed buddypress 1.5 (test site) and now, instead of the old bbpress profiles (w favorites!), there is the buddypress profile, which is nice, except… the problem i’m having is that as far as i can tell the forum (bbpress 2.0) topic favorites are not showing up in the buddypress profile under favorites or anywhere else that i can see.

i’ve googled around and found other mentions of conflicting profile issues, but so far no definitive answers as to how bbpress and buddypress profiles are supposed to work together.

maybe i’m missing something? i haven’t tried using buddypress before. are the user bbpress 2.0 forum topic favorites available in buddypress somewhere and i’m just not seeing them?

or do the bbpress 2.0. forum topic favorites go missing when buddypress is installed? if that the case, is there a work around?

bbpress 2.0

buddypress 1.5

wordpress 3.2.1 (single user)

I seem to be having a problem using shortcodes – see this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/funky-action-with-pages-with-shortcodes

Since I cannot use shortcodes, and my forums page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums does not have a registration link anyplace, how do people register to participate in my forums? Every forum page says you must be logged in but they give you no way to login or register.

Thanks,

Patrick

How does one adjust the timezone in bbpress? All fresh topics are showing 5 hours old. They are not paying attention to the WP timezone settings.

Hi, I just re-found bbPress and while I redeveloping my site services I also create a forum.

Visit forum at http://nicherss.com/forums/

There is a lot to do!

What I want people to see:

What people really see:

http://pride.mmbr.no/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bbpress3.png

Only stickys show up in the forum. Also: notice how it says the forum has 2 topics, but viewing only 1.

Here is the actual pages so you can see for yourselves:

I installed bbPress via the WordPress Plugins tab and I have copied the template files to my custom theme and customized them (basicly just removed the sidebar) and added the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); line in functions.php.

It’s like the topics are set to hidden.

I have checked and double checked that the publish status is set to published. What do?

Thank you for any help.

There seems to be some duplication of pages. If you are a WordPress Author, and you have an account on the forum, then you get two pages listing your details. It would be great if there was some way of combining the two.
