There can you take a look at my customized bbPress setup

Hey,

I have currently converted my IP.Board site over to bbPress but having a bit of a design issue.

I am current looking for a way so that on the index page, only one level of sub forums are shown in a row. So basically like this.

Main Forum

– Sub Forum 1, Sub Forum 2

I have found some examples that shows how to list the sub forums like that but I have played about with it and I haven’t been able just to get it to show just one level of sub forums.

My current index code is as follow. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m a first time user of bbPress and I downloaded the plug-in and installed through the WordPress platform. Anyway – when I try to activate the plug-in I get this error:

The plugin does not have a valid header.

And it doesn’t show up in my plug-in list on my Dashboard. Can you help me understand if I’m doing something wrong or need some other plug-in’s to accompany the bbPress to use it properly and have it install correctly? By the way – the plug-in does show that it’s installed on the server in the WP-Content folder under plug-in’s but it still doesn’t show up on the Dashboard under the list of plug-in’s for whatever reason.

Thanks,

-Josh

Okay, i have been reading this forum for a few hours now and i need somebody to tell me what’s best.

First, i have installed bbPress once before, a few months ago to give it a try and see if it was something for me because i’m a fan of the WordPress system and it’s plugins.

It worked very good i had no problems because i just needed some basic plugins nothing fancy, but it was only a testing install and never got public before i deleted it.

But now i need to get things going and start building for some project.

I have this project where 2 different game-based sites have to match each other and become one, it’s a game-blog and game-forum based site so thats why i was first thinking of a WordPress site along with a bbPress forum. Very simple and deep integrated in each other to keep both working together.

But when i read this support forum it makes me turn around a few times and not knowing what to do best. Should i go for the bbPress (standalone) version or should i wait for the bbPress WordPress plugin.. I don’t know how things are working out on that side but it feels like this plugin take forever,, No i don’t wanna be rude to all people working on it, (only respect) but is there a time-period set for this plugin to be released?

And if there is one, will it become Beta first and after 2 or 3 years a final and stable product?

What will happen to people (forums) using the bbPress standalone version? will there be a settings option so we could update or upgrade our standalone version to the WordPress plugin version without losing the forum-data?

Or should we start all over again with a fresh clean install?

And yes, i’m already thinking of switching to the plugin based bbPress because i think the standalone version will not be supported and looked after when the plugin version goes live.

Also something i would like to know, i’ve also read a few spam topics with people having trouble catching spam bots..

Is this a regular thing? Because it’s bbPress, it attach spam bots like every clean installed WordPress site will have a spam message in 5 days without doing anything on the site..

I don’t mind if there is something to catch those gangsters but if bbPress has some kind of “weak” (spam) based code i will not like the forum idea for my site.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mind to delete a spam message once in a while but if i daily need to delete 25 spam messages while i have running a spam-catch plugin it will not make me very happy..

So could anybody tell me what to do?

I like the bbPress system because it’s “easy” to customize and you’re not working in all the same community themes like you see on most forums..

This is a weird one. I started with bbPress as a stand alone installation. I then did an integration with WordPress. The main effect of that was it wiped out my users. OK, not terrible, there were only a few. However I noticed that no plugins seem to work. I installed Human Test and I can see it in the wordpress plugins folder. It is activated but there is no change to the registration page.

Any idea what might be wrong?

My forum was hit with 700 spam posts. I manually deleted all the topics and posts. However, the Tags remain in a cloud.

See: forum.pensacoladisability.com

How do I delete the tags from the deleted posts.

Hello

A forum I read often uses BBPress. Whenever someone adds a message to a thread to which I replied, I am notified by e-mail.

The small issue I have with the e-mail notification, is that the URL points to the first page of the thread, so I have to click on the number of the last page to jump to it after clicking on the URL: Can BBPress be easily reconfigured so the URL points to the last page instead?

Thank you.

So I have WordPress 3.0.2 installed. I downloaded bbPress 1.0.2 and fired up the installation.

I entered all the details that were asked, and also did copy&paste the AUTH etc KEY and SALTS in. I chose to use wp_users table only.

Everything works except for 1 thing. When I log in to WordPress, I am not automatically logged in to bbPress. And vice versa. Can anybody help me?

This is a weird question but, I only want e-mail address ending in .edu like example@example.edu to be able to sign-up only, no .com or .net or .org etc. Is this possible?

I’ve cross-posted this on the BuddyPress forum. Moderators are free to close this thread so discussion happens in one place, but I figured there should be a notice on this domain as well.
