I am wondering how to use the login and register .php files that buddypress has with my theme. what calls do I need to make to set up a login forum and a registration forum?

There’s no importers available for most forum systems, but it would be really easy to just rebuild my small forum if I could change the post authors. Is there a way to do this?

I am curious as to how to do this in multi site. Currently I have Site 1,2 and 3. Site 1 is just a blog. No need to sign up for that. Site 2 is buddy press thats all handled on its own. Site three is bbpress forums. I want users who sign up for that site to be signed up as “forum participant.” How is this done? in a single site installation you can go in and change what users are labeled as when they sign up. You can even individually change them upon them signing up. How ever in multi site you have to individually change them after they signed up… >_>

Am I doing this wrong? is it done as such: sign up for one, sign up for all?

if so How do I change it so that even though you are signed up for buddypress you must sign up for buddy press? and once done you are signed up as a forum participant.

In a topic, if it is closed you get the “the topic x is closed to new replies” I looked in forum-topic.php for this and could not find it. which php file is it in?

I’m trying to get bbpress working with my existing wordpress site. I installed the V2 plugin but liked the look of the standalone site. So I installed the 1.0.3 standalone version. I also downloaded 3 themes to play with. I installed them in my_templates/ but when I click on “themes” on the Admin panel, it just takes me back to the main forum page. I also installed a plugin in my-plugins/ but don’t see anyway to activate it.

I must be missing something basic here. I can’t see anyway on the admin page to configure this stuff.

Hi everyone, I’ve got a new WordPress theme support forum ready but I’m stuck in something. Registered users of the forum (Subscriber role) aren’t allowed to post certain tags in topics for security reasons.

My question is, is there any way all code is allowed in raw format if it’s inside a CODE html tag? I believe the previous standalone version of bbpress supported this.

Best regards

Alright everyone so I have installed bbpress in my blog that already existed in with wordpress.

Now the question is I want to install a plugin into my forum but it says something about i need to put it in /my-plugins directory so i have checked under the /bbpress directory in my site which looks like /blog/bbpress and i dont see any directory called /my-plugins

Should i just install it into the blog/wp-content/plugins will it work that way??

I’m greek and I have a WordPress blog in greek running bbpress RC4.

The problem with using greek in your blog is the use of non-latin characters in the titles of the posts. This leads to the creation of slugs with non-latin characters and consequently pretty-permalinks with non-latin characters. That -of course- is a problem because URLs look nice in the address bar of your browser i.e.

http://deltahacker.gr/2011/08/19/πάρα-πολύ-καλά-νέα-αυτό/

but when you copy the URL to paste it somewhere else -in an email for example-, the same URL becomes:

http://deltahacker.gr/2011/08/19/%CF%80%CE%AC%CF%81%CE%B1-%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BB%CF%8D-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%AC-%CE%BD%CE%AD%CE%B1-%CE%B1%CF%85%CF%84%CF%8C/

To resolve this problem, greek blog owners can use the plugin Greeklish-Permalings (from the words Greek & English). This plugin adds a filter on the sanitize_title function of WordPress with a new function that converts every non-latin character to a similar latin. For example, the greek alpha character “α” becomes the latin alpha character “a” and so on. So when someone creates a new post, and wordpress tries to create a slug automatically, sanitize-title is called, which is hooked to the plugin, and so a slug with only latin characters is created, even if there are non-latin characters in the title.

You can see the code of this very small plugin on my dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1816074/greeklish-permalinks.php

The problem is that the plugin does not work with bbpress titles. If a forum or topic title contains greek (non-latin) characters, they are not converted to latin even if the plugin is enabled. Does someone know why is this happening?

Doesn’t bbpress call the sanitize_title function? Do not plugin function filters work for custom post types?

I am wondering how to allow users to login in and use the forums. easy enough you would think. But I have never tested or had a site where users had to sign up. my other site (multisite so I have three) uses buddy press and thats all fine and dandy. as they sign up, and they are returned to buddy press. Will users signing up for my site be returned to the home page? will they have admin pannel (post new posts, edit themes, install plugins) rights? if so How do i remove that?

I am very cautious about this how ever I want to allow users to use the forums, hence why I am creating them…

my second issue is that when I am logged in, as the site admin, and I go to a forum and a test topic and hit any of the “admin” buttons for moderating a forum I get the following issues:

edit: refreshes the page

close: refreshes the page

Stick (to front): refreshes the page

merge, trash and spam: refreshes the page.

on local host these all work.

I am using multi site on the live site and I have this plugin activated for one of my three sites. on local host I am NOT using multi site.

Also, How will bbpress plugins work for bbpress 2.0? the same as before? or will we install them as regular plugins and just activate them?

I am wondering if someone can tell me why the reply to this test topic I made in a forum is all scrunched up. any reply made to any topic in any forum is all scrunched up while the initial post is well formed.
