bbPress.org

Not entirely sure where this post should go, so I placed it here.

I setup bbPress along with WordPress to make WordPress the master. However I would like to use the bbPress profile instead of the WordPress profile, but I can’t find where in the code to enable that. Any ideas?

bbPress comes with such a script. Download the software, fill in the details of you database connection in config.php, and when you first browse to your forum’s URL, you’ll be taken through the installation procedure

Hello folks,

I along with Ben L. aka Nightgunner5, have created a bbPress standalone to plugin converter which already does a good job converting your bbPress forums.

To use it, upload the file bbs2p.php to your server. Now let us assume that / is the place where you have placed the script, /blog/ is the WordPress directory and /forum/ is the bbPress standalone directory. So, you would edit bbs2p.php, scroll down to line 36 and change

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', '../forum/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

To:

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', 'blog/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forum/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

Similarly, if you have script and WordPress blog in / and the forum in /forums/, then change those lines to:

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forums/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

Then run the script and the converter would guide you. Some points to note:

• Needless to mention, if it isn’t your test run, please have a backup. We cannot be held responsible for any data loss.
• Run it on your localhost as the converter is heavy.
• Supports the Subscribe to Topic plugin by _ck_ and bbPress 1.1 alpha+ subscriptions import too. Have that plugin activated if you want to migrate subscriptions from the plugin, else it will check for the alpha version.
• Have the bbPress plugin activated, revert to default themes and disable any other plugins.
• Currently, there are three situations:

  1. You have a new WordPress blog, to which you are migrating to and an established forum. Then, you would go to user migration section first and then proceed to forums, topics, posts migration section. In this process, all your WordPress users would be deleted (well, renamed to another table) and in place of those, bbPress users would be added. A keymaster will be WP admin, bb admin and moderator will be bbPress plugin moderators, rest all would be converted to the default WP role (which can be set in your WordPress settings).
  2. Your WordPress and bbPress user tables are integrated. You don’t need the user migration process and you can directly go to forums, topics, posts migration section. No worries.
  3. You have a established WordPress blog, with a good number of users and can’t afford to lose those. This is currently not supported as it is hard to merge two conflicting user sets.

• After converting, do recounts, delete the script and delete the bbPress standalone section if not needed.

ps. Special thanks to John James J. for developing the bbPress plugin, without which, of course, this converter wouldn’t have been there.

I’ve registerd a site @ Zymic.com but i dunno how isntall dis BBPRESS scripts der..please help me!!!!

Hi, I know that there’s a lot of topics about integration and I tried to find something that could helped for but I haven’t found.

I have integrated bbPress and looks like everything works fine. I can login with my WP account on bbPress.

But if I login to my website I need to login again when I go to forum.

So is it possible to make that when I log in WP it would automatically log me in bbPress?

I keep having to use the plugin over and over.

Someone said to fix it in the mySQL phpmyadmin stuff.

I need a step by step guide.

Halp?

I want to customize the text on the registration form page…

… and also the text on the confirm page (once they hit submit on the registration).

I checked register.php, but I didn’t see any text to change there. (it was all PHP code). And I don’t even know where to look for the confirm page.

Please help. Thank you!

I am using the Captcha plugin

http://montecristoowners.com/forum/register.php

I was wondering how to get the CAPTCHA up into the registration area? I have older members that do not even know what a Captcha is. And I need to move it up into that area (or it will be ignored).

Hello, I am about to integrate a forum on my site, i am just wondering though if bbpress works on mobile device – mobile phones particularly. Based on the anakytics on my site i am having a good number of visitors from symbian, ovi, iOS and android users. I am particularly concern if bbpress will look nice on a mobile device for better user experience.

thank you!

regards,

Egie

Does anyone have a hack or updated plugin that works with the new the http://youtu.be/ share url??
