bbPress.org

Hello,

I am currently using bbpress 2.0 beta 3b.

When I create a page on wordpress, and use the shortcode

, bbpress topics show properly in my page. However, if I set that particular page as a front page, does not work properly.

For example, I am currently setting “Topics Per Page” to 10, so 10 topics show in page 1. Therefore it will show as “Showing topics 1 to 10.” When I click on page 2, it should show topics 11-20, but it keeps saying, “Showing topics 1 to 10”. I would like to be able to show topics 11 – 20, and so on.

Can you advise?

I have made a custom theme, following the directions posted in the forums here. And have gotten everything to work fine, with the exception of these sidebars.

They appear below the forums making the page extra long. I’ve taken out the php code that calls the sidebar in every forum page in the template .zip file and they are still there.

At this point I just want to get rid of them, but if we can adjust it so that they look the way they do on the blog page it would be nice.

I am currently running 1.0.3 in standalone mode. If I install the v2 plugin, as soon as I activate it I lose all access to the wordpress admin system. The only way to fix it is to remove the plugin folder. Do I need to do some kind of conversion first? Posts in the forums say there is a conversion tool included but I haven’t seen how to use it.

I use phpBB at the moment. It used to be pretty bad but version 3 is acceptable.

The 3 things I hate about phpBB are:

1) Lack of SEO URLs/ pretty URLs/ custom permalinks structures

2) There are no plugins. There are MODs – meaning installation is a pain in the back and code is changed. Forget about updations completely – it is excruciating. Contrasts with the rather pleasant one-click installs and upgrades that WordPress has made me accustomed to.

3) Lack of multilingual capability. WordPress has WPML…though I am getting increasingly disillusioned with it (critical features missing, basic things like Canadian flag, Slovak language etc missing, not using international conventions in naming, arrogant and unhelpful support etc). I run a multilingual site and need multilingual forums. If that’s not possible, then to begin with I need a Google Translate gadget so that people can read in multiple languages at least.

It’s not just the lack of these features that cheeses me off…it’s the unwillingness of the developer community to consider these for 3.1/3.2

And there is a major rewrite underway v4. I believe v4 will be the wipeout of phpBB…they are writing from the ground up, which is never a great idea (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html)

So excellent opportunity for bbPress.

I would switch as soon as I see the aforementioned 3 in bbPress…

I just installed the bbpress plugin for wordpress:

What I was wondering is how to install bbpress plugins like bbPM inside the bbpress plugin for wp 3.1.3?

I hope that makes sense.

I allowed unregistered users to post on my website www.fotografbucuresti.ro, and everything worked fine for a few days, but then the bbpress forum and comments started to get filled with apparently non-add posts, but all look alike.

I protected comments with Math Plugin, but for bbpress I only found anti-spam on registration, not for posts made by unregistered users.

I don’t want to restrict posts to registered users only, but want to use a capcha system or question-answer.

Please suggest something that adds one more field for security when posting in bbpress as anonimous

I’m using a custom menu in my WP installation and want to include a ‘Edit Profile’ that links to a user’s bbpress edit profile page.

I’m using the following function:

bbp_get_user_profile_edit_link()

Which looks like this in the sidebar:

<a href="<?php bbp_get_user_profile_edit_link(); ?>" class="button">"><?php _e('Edit Profile','mytheme')?></a>

But it doesn’t work. Any suggestions on the above?

Hi. Got an install of the bbpress 2.3 beta on a WordPress multisite with Buddypress on the main site. Its hidden from users for the minute while I set it all up. Yeah, I know its a beta and ‘Thar be dragons’ and all that, but really the forum is backed up anyway, and as I say, it isn’t actually visible to users yet.

Just one thing, in the existing site I’m migrating from (which wasn’t multisite but just a single site BuddyPress with integrated single site bbPress), I had set some forums to be visible to members only using a bbpress plugin. Now it looks like in this new bbpress you can set certain forums to ‘Private’ and in the help it says ‘Private (seen only by chosen users)’. Has the bit to choose these users been implemented yet? I can’t find how to chose the users that can see a private forum.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious. Any help appreciated…

When i try and install bbPress plugins into my site i get the following error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /nfs/c08/h03/mnt/115251/domains/lostgarage.com/html/v2/wp-content/plugins/bb-attachments/bb-attachments.php on line 74

has anyone else had this happen?

I am trying to install a few different plugins into bbPress, however i have no clue where to actually go in the admin pannel to install them. on this site in the docs it says go to the bbPress plugins section however i dont see any section like that. I currently just have my normal plugins section and after making “my-plugins” folder and adding things…. nothing shows up in the plugins section of my wordpress admin.

the path is /plugins/bbpress/my-plugins

other than that whats the next step, am i missing something?

the specific plugins im adding are bb-attachments, bb-smilies, bbpm

thanks for any help
