Hi everyone,

I have been using bbPress for about 30 minutes and love the simplicity of it. I do have a modification I need to do for a Site I’m working on.

I would like to show only the Top level categories on the front page and then once the Top category is clicked, it will show all of it’s sub-categories.

The problem I’m having is that I have 2 Top lever categories, each of this categories has 50 sub-categories (1 for each state). If you can imagine, the page is extremely long and I would like to keep things simple.

I have checked the settings under the administration and I can’t seem to find an option for that. Any help on which file to edit would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I just uploaded BBPress & am trying to get by the installer screens. I copy/pasted the Database Name & Database User right from my GoDaddy settings page, & then entered my password, but the installer refuses to proceed (wrong password or username error). I changed the password in my GoDaddy account then tried again but still no go. I called GoDaddy & they confimred what I was entering as DB Name / DB User / Password were all correct.

Any suggestions?

Hi all –

I’m new here, but have been doing a lot of research recently on moving my bridged Drupal/vBulletin site to WordPress and bbPress. There have been many changes with vBulletin management and policies lately, and many people are looking for alternatives to VB as their forum software. The only obstacle keeping me from jumping into bbPress is a direct vBulletin -> bbPress import script.

In my opinion, this is the only thing keeping bbpress from really catching on fire. If anyone has the know-how to do it and is interested, I can help fund the script. If anyone else would like to throw in to help the creation of it, please chime in. Once it’s done we can give it to the community and watch bbpress explode.

Hi All. I had registrations using bbpress (but also registering in wordpress) working fine with beta 1.

Now with beta 2 if I try to register in bbpress I get the message “Email Email is required” even though I’ve entered an email. My guess is that beta 2 changed how the emails are stored in the database maybe?

Registering through wordpress works fine, but it’s doing what it always did which is make the bbpress role “Inactive (no role)” which means it’s not instant, and I have to go in to make the change.

I had a plugin installed that fixed this problem, but it stopped working with another update.

Any thoughts on how to fix either of these so things work again?

I have a WordPress blog integrated with BBpress.

and I”m having trouble Akismet.

I activated the Akismet plugin after I

installed BBpress then several days later I noticed no one was posting. I

thought this was strange because in those few days I had about 100 people

register.

I selected the check box next to “Create a page that shows spam

statistics” on the Akismet page. The page showed there was 26 post in the spam section.

I selected spam in the drop down box but the messages do not show up even

after I click on filter. I don’t know of any other way to get to the

messages to see if they are all spam.

I deactivated Askismet and a post showed up within 30 minutes. Any ideas? I would like to have a

spam filter.

I am looking for some howto resources on implementing bilingual for bbPress, anyone with some experience in this or know some resources can you please point me to it. Much appreciated.

We are running bbpress 1.0.2 and we have had several user requests for a function that will let users subscribe to a topic or get an email notification that another user has replied to a post. I’ve looked through the extensions here but cannot find anything on this.

…on my site.

Both errors point to code that looks right to this novice. The generated source has an interesting occurrence (a couple, actually) of the &raquo in my head section; in fact, the code there doesn’t seem to match up with what’s in my header.php file.

Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

Here’s the link to the validation I ran, if you’re interested in that:

Is there a way to keep threads from disappearing after a certain amount of time, in their respective forum? (without making every thread a sticky)

Thanks for any advice.

I’ve managed to integrate everything perfectly between my WordPress and bbPress site except this last part. I want to call up <?php login_form(); ?> from bbPress and show it in my WordPress header.

The reason I want to do this because I have a “Login” and “Register” button that changes to something different if the user is logged in. Like this;

Is this possible? Thanks for all help so far. The bbPress community has been very helpful so far
