Hello,
i just integrated my 1.0-alpha-6 BBpress installation with my WordPress 2.7 blog.
After the integration my bbpress admin disappeared, but i could log in as an admin using the wordpress admin ID and Password, so no big deal.
The problem is this: when i log in with my WordPress admin account there is no way i can see my “settings” label, that used to be on the top row, extreme right, of the control panel: /forum/bb-admin/
Any suggestion/advice, please?
the Process
Hi,
Is there a way to allow the users that start a thread to close it? Possibly make it work a little like the support forum plugin, but that actually means no one (apart form the admins) can post to the thread?
This would be really useful to me.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
I’m looking for someone who has had a bit of experience with theming bbPress to help me port a HTML/CSS template (which I have also made into a WordPress theme) over to bbPress. It should be relatively easy seeing as the design is simple and already coded.
Please contact me at patrick.devivo [at] gmail.com if you know someone or are willing to help me out.
Is there anyway to define a custom URL structure? Specifically, I was looking to get rid of the “topic” and “forum” directories.
I found it shortly after from another topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hack-to-remove-forumsforum
Greetings,
I just installed BBPress today and was totally psyched because I have heard such great things about the WordPress products.
But . . . I am having major problems:
– New user testing – password doesn’t work. Login failed.
– I created forums and when I select the topic I get a “The requested document was not found on this server.” error.
– When I select a user profile (including mine) I get the same error.
– This is where it is strange and makes me think that maybe I need to reinstall the whole thing. I can’t create a new post. Nowhere does it say “Create post” on the forums.
I did install the Approve User Registration plugin by Aditya Naik, but I deactivated it and I am still having the above problems.
Thoughts?
thanks in advance,
Jeff
Hello,
I installed BBPress yesterday, and it’s working great. The only problem I’m having is that it won’t let me log out (when I’m using Safari)! When I click the “Log out” link, it refreshes the admin page, but I’m still logged in as admin. In Firefox, I can log out fine- it’s just in Safari that I’m having troubles.
Any ideas to log out would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek
I’m developing a WordPress Theme and I’d like it to work with BBPress too. My theme uses a function ( get_container(); ) to get all the information to go within the body. To change the content, within that container, for a particular page in WordPress, but leave the header, sidebars, and footer, I can reference a custom function to be added in there.
So for BBPress, I would like to do the same thing. The get_container(); function will be called and it will get the custom function defined in each BBPress template file. The problem is, is that when I do this BBPress says I’m logged out and will not allow me to login, because it can’t find the forums. Why is this? I do get the header, sidebar, and footer defined in my get_container();. But for some reason the custom function that get the BBPress forum messes the variables for the forum.
Just made a query in my forum functions.php to display the 5 latest stories from WordPress. Pretty basic but it may help someone:
// get WP news
function wpnews() {
global $bbdb;
$stories = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT post_title, guid, post_date_gmt FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type='post' AND post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 0,4");
foreach ($stories as $story) {
if ($i <= 4) {
echo '<li><a href="' . $story->guid . '">' .$story->post_title . '</a></li>';
$i++;
}
}
}then call it on your forum with <?php wpnews() ?> and style to suit.
Hey everyone,
I haven’t completely finished pimping my bbpress forum, though I thought id share it with you at this stage. Let me know what you guys and gals think, good or bad feedback is always good.

I have bbpress installed in a subdirectory (http://www.domain.com/forum), with WordPress in the root, and I’m using a Private Forums plugin (among various others) and it was all working fine until this morning, when suddenly I am unable to login. I have two accounts, but can’t log in using either of them. (I have sent an email out to find out if I am the only one with this issue or if it is more widespread).
Symptoms are that I get the login page, so I login and am immediately presented with the same screen again.
I’ve tried disabling the Private Forums plugin, which makes the discussions visible, as you would expect but I still can’t log in, and I can’t post, so I’m not logged in ‘behind the scenes’as it were.
I’ve requested a new password, but that hasn’t helped.
I haven’t integrated with WordPress, I haven’t uploaded any new bbpress plugins, or run any upgrades. I am very puzzled.
So does anyone have any suggestions as to what might have changed, or what I can do to restore functionality?
