Hello,
Not really sure if this would be the best place to ask, but I wondered why the forum URL dir structure was been changed/removed compared to about all other Automattic products?
Ie. the bbPress URL structure looks like this: “https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/taking-a-look-at-bbpress-09”
whilst the BuddyPress URL structure looks like: “https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/some-basic-questions/”
Note the last “/”
Best regards,
Cor
Please make better titles when asking for help.
Make them say something specific about the nature of the problem.
Also please state what version of bbPress you are using and what plugins.
Optionally try tagging your topic with some simple words you think might be relevant and then check those tags to see if you can find something similar.
We can always remove tags that aren’t relevant, don’t be afraid to try them.
Thank you.
A user posted a topic on my forum which totally messed up the css of my forum. Only for that specific topic.
Heres the link to the topic: http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum/topic.php?id=331&replies=3&message=closed
I have no idea why this has happened. A wild guess would be the profanity filter plugin, but no words are being censored or affected at all. This is the first time this has happened in a year of running bbpress.
All other topics are just fine. Check yourself to see what a normal topic looks like, by hitting the home-link in the header.
What’s all missing in terms of features in 0.9 when we compare it to bbPress 1.0+ ?
What else? I never used 0.9 much. BTW, I think most of the functionality a forum owner would need are covered by _ck_’s plugins 
I would like to hear from you guys.
I’ve installed an integrated WordPress 3.0 (NOT MU) and the latest BBPress. When users register with WP they can not add any reply or start a new post in the forums.
I tested this with the default unaltered theme and same thing.
Looking in the DB I see that each member is a “member” in WP but there is no BB_METAUSERS table for bbpress. I think this isn’t required when an integrated solution is installed.
Any idea why all new members are set to “Inactive”?

Is there somehow a function for a user with role “Member” to delete theri own posts?
It only shows Edit or Quota for member role users.
I tried with Role Manager Plugin – theres an option to let Members delete posts.
The problem is that they can delete every post by everybody…
Help please

It took about a week to get everything the way I wanted. At first I wanted to do a deep integration but it was too much of a pain, so I just ended up writing some custom code to cache most of my sidebar, header and footer elements from my blog and display the cached content in bbPress.
Plugins I’m using:
And some more custom code throughout the templates. Would love to answer questions or hear feedback!
When I turn on name based permalinks, the topic and forum links generated are all missing important information.
ALL Topic links become: site.com/forum/topic (with nothing at the end)
ALL Forum links become: site.com/forum/forum (with nothing at the end)
Other types of links generated appear to be fine and working.
What can be the cause of this?
I can use numeric permalinks with no problems:
site.com/forum/topic/2649
site.com/forum/topic/2194
site.com/forum/forum/9
It would be useful if users could be added from the admin section, so admins don’t have to keep logging out and re-registering to add users.
Also, the admin area currently does not allow for editing of user email addys
Okay, first thing’s first… if this is the forum on the bbPress site itself, it really needs to be a bit more of a better example. As it is, when I get to the forum I’m first faced with a giant tagcloud, then I have to scroll all the way down past a huge list of posts to get to the actual individual forums such as this one. Of course, I could hit the button to start a new topic at the top of the top of the page but not only is that counterintuitive, it’s a really bad idea in general that will get people just Pcoming in and posting without looking at other posts first. I’d hoped the layout would have been changed by now at least.
Second problem, and this is one I’ve had on the wordpress forums as well but never bothered to ask about it. At the bottom of the post box it lists allowed tags (shortly after mentioning “Enter a few words (called tags)” with a link to the tagcloud rather than a definition of tags), but what gets me is “Put code in between backticks.” I’ve been running forums since before ISPs could offer residential Internet connections and yet I have absolutely no clue what that means. Unless this software is only meant for WordPress users (which I’m one of, btw), it would be best to get a bit more accessible to ordinary people in terms of language/jargon.
My other large beef is that the forums read like blog comments rather than forum discussions. Threading would be my number one request if I intended to use it. I guess my number two request would be integrating said threaded comments into the comments section of blog entries for those using it with a WP blog, though that’s a lot more complicated. I’d want to start off with the other way around by having the blog able to automatically display posts from certain sections such as Announcements and such. I’m not sure if that functionality exists yet, so apologies if it does. If not, I suppose a workaround could be reading the rss feed from that section into the blog section, but aggregating your own feeds is a fairly silly notion.
That’s it for initial feedback right now. I may come take another look when the software has matured a bit… by that I mean the core, it shouldn’t have to depend on plugins and themes to have very basic funcionality on its own.
