How do I make bbPress look like my WordPress theme?

Published on December 7th, 2009 by moblemike

1.) I thought one of the advantages of this forum was that it would automatically take on the theme of my WordPress site. It is not. How can I make that happen?

2.) Can I remove all references to this being by bbPress, OR is that against the license?

Thanks!

Integration between WordPress and bbPress

Published on December 6th, 2009 by mbeneteau

I found significant problems with the bbPress documentation on integrating bbPress into a WordPress site, which had me puzzling for well over an hour (https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/). Here is what I did in the end:

1) Not at all clear from the documentation that bbPress should be installed in the same database as WordPress. Get WP database parameters from the WordPress wp-config.php, and enter these on the first page of the bbPress install page:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘warriord_wrdp7’);

/** MySQL database username */

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘warriord_wrdp7’);

/** MySQL database password */

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’);

2) Fantastico and other automated scripts generate very long AUTH_KEY etc, that typically contain “escaped characters” within a PHP “define” statement (ie. ’ and \). Copying these from the wp-config.php into page 2 of the bbPress installer is problematic. Rather than trying to figure this out, I just copied them from wp-config.php (in WordPress) to bb-config.php (in bbPress).

Other than this, it was pretty straightforward and now works like a charm. To see it working http://internet101.biz/wordpress-how-to/

Add target="_blank" to external links

Published on December 6th, 2009 by DeMBones

Hello,

I am aware that there have been several topics in regard to this subject. I am also aware that none of them solved my problem. I wish to have bbPress add target=”_blank” to all external links. I have tried _ck_’s plugin, but it results in an empty anchor: <a >url</a>. I am using the latest version of bbPress. Help is much appreciated.

Where do I upload bbpress?

I realize this is a really dumb question but I have the .zip file from this site so what do I do with it now to integrate it with wordpress?

Where do you activate it?

I uploaded the plugin from this site, though it does not show up in my list of available plugins to activate. How is this done?

Thanks.

New Questions

Published on December 6th, 2009 by moblemike

I am considering using this and have a couple questions:

1.) Is there a way to list all of the available Forums on one page and let the user select the forum they want to choose from there rather than placing all available forums at the bottom of the page like on https://bbpress.org/forums/

2.) Is it possible to remove the Hot Tags area at the top of the page like at the top of

https://bbpress.org/forums/

Thanks!

How to use bbpress pagination in a plugin?

Published on December 6th, 2009 by Null

Hi,

I have the data, but how to use it with bbpress’ pagination? Where to put the data?

I have for excample:

$mydata = the array with rows from the database that gets displayed

$mydata_count = total rows counted

$mydata_pagelimit = total rows that must be shown each page

Is there any way to hook this into bbpress pagination at all? Or do I have to write one myself?

Kind regards,

How to preselect a value in the forum dropdownlist?

Published on December 6th, 2009 by Null

Hi,

With <?php forum_dropdown(); ?> I get a dropdowlistbox that shows all the forums on my forum. Works great, but how can I get the dropdownlistbox to preselect a forum instead of showing the first one in the list?

Tried:

<?php forum_dropdown(2); ?> Where 2 = forum id of the preselected forum

<?php forum_dropdown('Forum2'); ?> Where Forum2 is the name of the preselected forum

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
