Hi everyone!

I´m sorry in advance if something stays confusing-english is not my mother tongue, but I´ll do my best.

I have a problem that seems to be quite common, but I can´t find a solution. My tecnical skills aren´t too good, but I´ve been reading through different posts almost all day long and nothing I´ve tried helps. I have downloaded bbpress, put it in a forum folder, checked the db name,user ect a hundred times but still nothing. When I go to the link where my forum should be this is what I get:

Page not found!

I’m sorry, but there is nothing at this URL.

Forums is proudly powered by bbPress.

So I can´t even see the installation page. I thought that maybe it has something to do with my theme(it didn´t work very well with buddypress). I tried to change the theme, but the problem stayed the same. Also I use the same database both for wp and bbpress. All other pages, beside forum, work just fine.

I am very, very thankful for any help you can give me.

Hey there everyone! I am going to be installing bbPress to my WordPress blog but just have a few questions before jumping into anything straight away. I’ll list them so it makes it simpler and easier for you guys to answer and avoids any and all confusion.

1. Do you recommend that bbPress is installed in the same directory/folder as my WordPress blog? Please explain why (advantages/disadvantages, if any).

2. In order to integrate it to my blog, will my current theme (K2) work with bbPress (take a look at my blog if you don’t know what K2 is)?

3. On this page, listed under the title ‘Functions (optional)’, do you recommend that I do it or no? Again, advantages and/or disadvantages please.

That’s all the questions I’ve got at the moment. Hoping to get answers as soon as possible to get my forum set up. Thanks guys!

I’m editing the edubb theme. If I make the avatar the size I want, then the post area gets shoved downwards. Therefore I edited the post.php to look like this:

<div class="post-author"><?php post_author_link(); ?></div>

<b><div class="post-author"><?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?></div></b>

<div class="post-date"><?php post_author_title(); ?></div>

<div class="post-date"><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?>  <a>">#</a> <?php post_ip_link(); ?>    <?php post_edit_link(); ?>    <?php post_delete_link(); ?><?php if (function_exists('report_post_link')) : ?>    <? report_post_link(); ?><?php endif; ?></div>



<div class="post-text">

<?php post_text(); ?>

</div>

by adding the post_author_avatar_link to line 2.

It works pretty well but the problem is that the avatars show up where I want them to ONLY in the reply posts, but not in the threadstarter post. Can anyone help me figure out where/how to edit the beginning post of the thread?

I am a beginner with a beginner question: On the front page in the “Latest Discussions” section, there are columns for Last Poster and Freshness. However, in the “Forums” section, there are no such columns.

I would like to add this information in the “Forums” section as well (and then eventually delete the “Latest Discussions” section). I have added the two column headers (actually combined into one column that has both pieces of info in it), but I have no idea how to get the correct data (which I want to search all the topics from within each forum and pull the latest poster and time details).

The code I currently have is below (for the site http://heathoops.net/forums). It’s formatted how I want it, but I have no idea what post data it is pulling (I want it to pull the latest post from any topic within each forum)… Can anyone help?

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<h2><?php _e(‘Forums’); ?></h2>

<table id=”forumlist”>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Main Theme’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Topics’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Post’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”>by “><?php topic_last_poster(); ?>
on <?php echo date(“D M j, Y g:i a”, strtotime($topic->topic_time)); ?></br></td>

</tr>

If you have an integrated wordpress blog and bbpress forum I would really like to see it. I’m really interested in seeing some working examples to better see what I’m getting into. Please link to your websites below. Thanks!

Hello,

I haven’t yet installed bbpress. I currently have SMF and am considering switching because I want to fully integrate my forum with my WordPress blog and I don’t think SMF will ever do that.

I have a few questions before I make the leap, that is, I want to make sure I can do the things I want to before I change everything.

I want to make it so that all forum topics and their subsequent posts can be easily transferred to the front page, i.e. blog. Is this possible? What about vice versa? Can blog posts be discussed in the forum section?

I want all profiles to be automatically usable for both forum and blog. Is this possible?

Is there an Advertisement mod for bbpress?

A lot of articles that are about two years old say simplepress is better than bbpress. Has bbpress really taken off in the last two years? Does it have potential to grow and get more refined?

Thanks!

I just uploaded bbpress into my directory and got this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/88/4791888/html/danafricano/dev/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 1794

Can’t get past step one. help!

I’m wondering how I might go about deleting many inactive (mostly spambots) users without having to delete them one at a time?

hello

I want to put the “Forums” above the “hot tags” like bbpress forum, what should i do?

Hi,

Today, after read many tutorials I integrated WP with bbpress, now any new site subscriber became forum member, and etc anything is ok at this point.

BUT the problem is that need to log in forum, when user is logged in WP, even admin/key master need to do the same, nothing comes automatically, I have installed the bbpress integration plugin and added

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); to wp-config.php in top after <?php

Please let me know what I have missed.

Thanks
