Matching WordPress Theme

More themes on the way!

Hi All

Getting to grips with BBpress now. I like it… Thanks you.

However… I require all users to log in before they can read any posts/forms/discussions

Is this possible please?

Cheers

Mick

I have more bbPress themes on the way!

I’m looking for a plugin that I can use to add a universal password to a particular subform in my forum. Alternatively, plugins that would enable me to a) have extra member groups and b) restrict access to a given forum by member group.

I’ve found a couple plugins that looked sort of like they might work, but they are at least 2 years inactive. Is there something more up to date?

Hi all

I have had a look at bbPress to integrate with my WordPress site/s.

I really like bbPress – well done developers. However the only theme I can find that I really like is the one on this forum.

Trouble is I can’t find it anywhere – Can someone direct me to a download of this theme or let me know if it unavailable.

Thanks a million – Mick

Hi, I’m brand new to bbPress and hoping to integrate it into my client’s existing WordPress powered site. One of the key requirements for the Forum is for registered and logged in users to be able to choose to post anonymously, maybe by way of a checkbox on the ‘Add New Post’ form. I’ve searched for a plugin to do this but had no luck.

Can anyone please offer any tips or advice? It would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

I’ve had a search around but kind find anything relevant, bbPress looks perfect, but can it support sub-forums? Not seen any screenshots of the backend, can it be administered through the backend of WordPress?

Cheers,

Just checked the counter. It’s 50k+ now – https://bbpress.org/download/counter/

Also, bbPress 0.9 is close to the 150,000 mark: https://bbpress.org/download/counter/legacy

I honestly don’t get this sudden push to make bbPress a WordPress plugin rather than continue as standalone software. There is so much potential for bbPress to grow and succeed in the 2010 standalone bulletin board market. Disagree? Think about this:

Remember back in 2004 when Movable Type pushed everyone away with their new pricing plan? The result: BLAM! WordPress REALLY took off, fitting the bill as a viable free easy-to-install, easy-to-use alternative.

One can make a strong argument that vBulletin is currently doing the same exact thing Movable Type did with their pricing plan snafu! (http://www.technologyquestions.com/2009/10/28/vbulletins-visceral-price-structure-angers-clients/) Check out this comment by donnacha which says even more: (http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/12/11/bbpress-lives/#comment-1321740)

Throw in how complicated phpBB and vBulletin are compared to bbPress (not to mention how easy bbPress is to pickup for those familiar with WordPress) and there is a major bulletin board niche opening for Automattic.

This current bbPress 1.1 development push can really provide a great vBulletin alternative if it is done right. Shine up bbPress so it has some of the default features vBulletin and other boards offer (as OPTIONS in the admin interface) and we will see an exodus a la Movable Type to WordPress in 2004.

It’s really hard to get a hold of people without the whole world knowing, is it possible?
