Is there a way to allow members to use the <iframe> tag in posts? I have downloaded and installed the admin can do all plugin and I can get it to work for me, but I would like the forum members to be able to use <iframe> also. Not sure if this is a security issue or not.

Speaking of security, I also installed the bbcode lite plugin and the bbcode button plugin. I see there is an option for “code” there – is this any kind of security concern or is it something simple and harmless that members can use for something?

Thanks in advance!

So, I finally got the revamp of my site launch completed on January 1st. The “News” portion of the site is driven by wordpress, and the “Messageboard” portion is bbpress with some marriage between the two.

We migrated from a phpbb2 install that was using phpbbfetchall for pulling “News” to the front page. I think the new set up is much better.

I’m still ironing out glitches and adding features, but I thought I’d share it here to show it off so far. We get between 10,000-12,000 unique visitors to the site per day, and bbpress is handling that traffic beautifully.

For Example:

user name “admin” then login.

user name “123abc” then login.

user name “123456” then cant login bbPress. Error “User does not exist”.

Hello all,

I run a small website called the Youth Bloggers Network (http://youthbloggers.net/) which is currently using WordPress and the Simple:Press forum plugin to run the forum. I’ve received some advice to switch to a “dedicated” forum software such as bbPress or phpBB to increase loading time and optimize the site structure (splitting up the forum and cms backend). If I were to switch, bbPress is the definite option for me seeing as I need my WordPress users to be members of the forum as well. I was able to install the latest bbPress version (1.0 alpha I believe) and integrate it perfectly with my WordPress install (cookies, users and everything). That was wonderful. The only two things holding me back from making the switch are:

1) Simple:Press is so easy to integrate into any page, just plug and play

2) I need a bbPress theme that matches my current WordPress theme

The problem is that I would like my forum to look and feel like just another page on the site. With Simple:Press this is easy (even when switching themes). With bbPress I need a new theme.

So here is what I would like to know:

Is it worth switching to bbPress even if it means a little extra work and designing?

And where can I find someone who could create a bbPress theme for me that fits my current design for a *low* price?

Please visit the site: http://youthbloggers.net/ and give me your advice and suggestions.

Thanks very much,

Patrick

what should my admin area look like? I have no functions as an administrator, but it shows i am under this address:

http://mydomain.com/forums/bb-admin/

I have my wordpress and bbpress databases integrated, but cannot seem to set it up so that a user who signs up via bbpress is assigned a role on wordpress. I’ve played around with the User Role Map found in Settings – wordpress integration, but nothing seems to help. It does work the other way though – if a user signs up via wordpress, they are assigned the role in bbpress as I indicated via the role map.

Honestly, I don’t even understand how it’s supposed to work. It seems very one way. At no point does the map even ask what role I would like to assign someone in wordpress if they have a particular role in bbpress.

What I’d like to do is have everyone who signs up be given the role of Author. If this is possible, I’d really appreciate any tips on how to accomplish it. Thanks!

hello..

i already recognized that there are many posts about the problems of permalinks. but nobody have the same issue. i created htaccess and tried both modes (Multiview and manual copy from bbpress). I have no wordpress installation, but guess that is no problem. My permalinks does not work.

site url: http://bauklimatik-dresden.de/forum/

but the permalinks are like this: http://bauklimatik-dresden.de/forum/forum/climatic-data

i saw a lot of posts which have instead of forum forums? however i am not able to get it work…

thanks for any help!

i would like to have an automatic sitemap generator for my website, the idea would be to have

1 page where all topics are there, sorted alphabetically and per forum, like this plug in i use for one

of my wordpress blogs http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/

thanks!

I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function backpress_get_option() in /home/moealza/public_html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php on line 412

when I try to install the beta version on my 2.7

The first time I went through the install process, it allowed me to finish right up until the end but the page kept spamming the following message throughout the install process:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /mnt/w0709/d31/s09/b0286f02/www/jrobichess.com/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113

When the install says it’s done and I have my username and ID – and go to open the page, it has this error message only repeating. I am currently reinstalling, but thought I would post here to see if I am missing something simple. On a side note, when I open the file in question in notepad, I can’t locate line 113 to see what the issue is. Anyone recommend a good code viewer broken down by lines?

Thanks,

Jason
