How do I allow people to sign up to my forum, Currently I have a page set up with the sign up short code and when one attempts to sign up the WP login page is displayed with a message stating “User registration is currently not allowed.” Is this a setting that needs changing in the admin section of my site?
Thanks
Hey, I’m currently experiencing horrible avatar quality in topic view on BBPress. I’m running both the BuddyPress 1.5 and BBPress 2.0 plugins. From what I’ve seen in the files, in addition to simply right clicking on a topic-view avatar and hitting view image (Firefox), the forum is taking the standard thumbnail size avatar (which is 15×15) and enlarging it to about 79×79, resulting in a blurry mess. Is there any way to fix this, or get a better quality in-topic avatar size?

Thank you in advance for any help or insight!
My easy 1 2 3 bbPress installation and already ready to use.
It’s the truth that I just activated it and it suit my WP theme already. Or just maybe I don’t know what I’m missing. Anyway I still newbie on this bbPress.
bbPress forum site:
http://indosinonim.info/forum
It is an Indonesian site, but translations available. Feel free to visit!
I’ve uploaded the zipped file to my WordPress directory, put it in a folder called forum and went to click on the link: http://www.freshapproach2web.com/forum/ to install it, but it does not work? Not sure why? Anyone? Help please, I’m new to installing bbPress and not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Thank you
Just wondering if this BBpress.org forum site is using the stand-alone version.
I have a client that would like to use this exact theme, but when we installed the WP plug-in, it looks much different.
Do we need the standalone version to get the theme and functionality shown on this forum?
I’m trying to add pages that show an x number of posts from a specific forum. I see this tag:
– Show a single forums topics
But it doesn’t have the ability to limit the number of posts. I also tried adding the bbPress Topic widget to a page (using the Widgets on Pages plugin), and while this allows you to set the number of topics, it doesn’t allow you to filter by forum.
Is there a quick way to do this? If not, could you recommend the best way to achieve this functionality? I certainly don’t mind getting my hands dirty but just need some ideas to get started.
Thanks much.
So I’m brand new to WordPress and old hat to programming. I’m trying to piece together a word press site for a friend that he can easily manager and expand. I’ve got most everything up and running with buddy press now save for the forums (without actually having to touch code, craziness!) . My issue is with the forums (I’ve installed the site wide variant).
The issue I’m running into is that the individual forums seem to be rendering as a page and not getting the specific forum templates added to them. I’m using the custom community theme, but this problem is repeatable if i switch to the base buddy press theme. This problem is not present if i switch to the bbpress theme. Each forum listing shows up only showing the forums tagline as if it was page data. I had to do a bit of hackery to get the forum to render at all (deleted the forum page and made a link to /forums in the menu).
My forums are at:
http://unfettereddesigns.net/forums/
Any sage advice?
My forums options:
Archive Slugs
Forums base : forums
Single Slugs
Forum slug: forum
Hi!
I run a blog on which I’d like to have a BBPress forum alongside the regular blog and some other pages. But I have ran into a few problems.
Step-by-step background:
1. Installed WP
2. Installed Mingleforum
3. Created a page called “forum” for Mingleforum (myblog.com/forum)
4. Set the forum up and people started posting stuff on it
5. Concluded that Mingleforum lacked several features
6. Installed BBPress but did NOT uninstall Mingleforum or delete the page “forum”
7. Did NOT chose any template for BBPress because I don’t know how
8. Created a paged called “new forum” on which i simply wrote
9. Created what I like to call categories, but I guess really are different “forums”
Problem 1:
After working on my BBPress forum for a couple of days and looking thru tutorials, I realis that there’s supposed to be an admin panel for BBPress!? I can’t find it.
Within the regular WP admin panel I do have a menus called “Forums”, “Topics” and “Replies”. And under “Settings” in the regular WP admin panel I’ve got another menu called “Forums”. In these menus there’s really not that much to do. From what I have understood there’s a admin panel specifically for BBpress, which I can’t find.
Problem 2:
If I get the admin panel for BBPress to work, I will probably want to install a theme since the forum looks like crap when I just add
Problem 3:
Since the old forum, Mingleforum, has about 100 posts in it, I’d like to transfer these posts and their respective categories etc to my new BBPress forum. Is that possible?
I can not express how much I would appreciate it if someone helped me with this. It’s almost 1:00 at night here and I’ve spent yesterday and the whole day today trying to get this stuff to work. I’m going crazy here, so please help me 
Thanks!
I have a new installation of bbPress 2.0 working great, and it’s really nice.
However, I’m trying to migrate data from a plugin called WP-Forum 1.7 which apparently is listed as ForumPress. I can’t find much detail about this at all.
It looks like this may be a fork off WP-Forum-Server, but I can’t find much help online anywhere on how to migrate this. SimplePress has a WP-Forum 2.2 converter, but it doesn’t appear to be online. The WP-Forum plugin creates a different structure of tables:
INSERT INTO wp_forum_posts (id, text, parent_id, date, author_id, subject, views) VALUES
and
INSERT INTO wp_forum_threads (id, parent_id, views, subject, date, status, closed, mngl_id, starter, last_post) VALUES
for example.
Although I’m somewhat familiar with the database, I haven’t found an EASY way to manually export/import to the bbPress use of Posts, etc.
Anyone know more about this or have any pointers? Thanks!
