I’ve been out of the BBPress game for a while. How can I sort topics in a forum alphabetically?

Hi Everybody

I just installed bbpress and i try to figure out how it works.

I use gravatar for my blog and i have installed bb avatars plugin in order to get gravatar on my posts (like on this forum). But nothing shows up!

I have a registered address to gravatar of course.

Any help would be appreciated.

thank you for your help

Since i noticed the new bbpress wasnt going to be “theme integration friendly” just like the previous versions, i started to look for other forum plugins, simple:press was the next step but i find it quite slow loading.

Today while browsing an “drupal7 vs joomla 1.6” article i found a forum plugin for wordpress:

The Mingle Forum Plugin

http://cartpauj.com/projects/mingle-forum-plugin/

no need to ftp files, you can install it from within wordpress plugin page, no need for extra themes, it can use whatever theme wordpress uses, international localization/languages etc etc

@bbpress devs: in my opinion you’re overcomplicating something that should be “easy as 1,2,3” in bbpress (theme integration), you’re “integrating” not the opposite, lots and lots of people voiced their problems with complicated integrations or deep integration, why insist on having separate thmes for something that “uses” wordpress that itself already uses a theme. Make it simple.

REQUIREMENTS:

PHP 5.x

WordPress 3.0 or newer

FEATURES:

* NEW! SEO Friendly URLs

* NEW! Forum sitemap (../wp-content/plugins/mingle-forum/sitemap.php)

* NEW! Adsense areas

* Media embedding into forum posts (like Youtube, Flickr, Photobucket…)

* WordPress 3.0 ready!

* Categories with sub-forums

* User Groups

* User Levels (EX: Newbie, Beginner, Pro…)

* Private Messages – Forum integrates seamlessly with my Cartpauj PM Plugin (Requires Cartpauj PM vs. 1.0.09 or greater)

* Moderators

* Skins

* Captcha

* BB Code

* Smilies

* Custom Forum Search

* Guest posts (See Mingle Forum Guest Info add-on by wpweaver)

* Hot/Very Hot topics

* Sticky (Pinned) Topics

* Move, Edit, Remove and Close topics

* Forum RSS Feeds

* Email notifications on replies to topics

* Recent posts widget (or PHP shortcode for your theme)

* Integrates nicely with most themes (It’s tough to make it work for all themes so some skin modifications may be required for your site)

* Allow/Dis-allow other users to view your profile from the Forum

* Supports different languages

* Integrates with the Mingle Plugin (by Blair Williams) NOTE: The “Mingle” plugin is NOT required for forum to work

o Avatars

o Profile’s (Works with/without Pretty Profile URLs enabled in Mingle settings)

o Activity in the forum shows up as activity in mingle (Helps increase discussion in both your forums and your SN)

o Deleted forum topics will also delete the corresponding Mingle board post

Hi,

Is there a widget out there which allows me to show the latest topics in the forums in the sidebar of my WordPress installation?

I would like people who visit the front page of my site to easily see the newest activity on the forums without needing to go to the forum page.

hope others have had this problem and can help me. All I did was install bbpress and then used the integration wizard on setup. Everything seemed to work ok until I tried to login to WP to put a link to my forum.

Now when I try to login it won’t say the password is wrong it will just refresh the page.

I think it might have something to do with the auth fields i added a word to or maybe something I don’t know of.

Any help?

Can I upload pictures with bbpress? My blog there should be many visitors who’d like upload pics on a forum like a blog yaxia-online.com. thanks for your answer.

Started a new topic to try and get some help, the option to delete a user does not appear when I edit a user in the dashboard, screenshot below

Any help on this?

Hello,

I have been using wordpress for a year now and have decided I need a forum, hence I found myself on the BBPress site. I have setup bbpress and so far so good. I now want require a plug-in or instructions to add a new page to my wordpress site called Forum and when clicked it loads the forum as a page, and my wordpress header and menus remain along with widgets remain. I cannot find how to set this up. I know I can have a page called forum and when clicked a new web browser window will pop up with the forum in on a separate page but I don’t want this.

Can anyone help.

I installed bbPress here yesterday:

http://www.specialneedslifeline.com/forums

Everything seems to be working correctly… but when I attempted to log in to WordPress on the associated site this morning (http://www.specialneedslifeline.com) it failed.

I enter my username and password, but the login screen just refreshes – the WordPress dashboard does not load.

Logging in to the bbPress admin works fine.

Any ideas where I should start troubleshooting? I’m baffled.

Hello. I’m new and have a very basic general question. What’s the overall development status of BBPress? I don’t see much in the blog and I just wonder if this product is being actively developed.
