bbPress.org

Hi everyone,

Currently my forum is located in something like:

example.com/dir/forum/

But I want to rewrite it to be like this:

example.com/forum/

Since WordPress can do that, I was hoping bbPress can too, but I’m not sure how. Is there some setting I can change?

Also secondary to that is that if there is no setting for such an option, can I just move the “forum” directory out of “dir” and into the root, and change the “bbPress address” to force it to physically be like “example.com/forum/” or would that screw things up?

Thanks a lot everyone

Hi,

I installed a bbpress + wp thing and something screwed up a little with the bbpress part, but I think I can fix it if someone could please tell me how to change the “bbPress address (URL)” that comes in the General Settings directly. By that I mean is this value stored somewhere in a file or database that I can directly change, rather than through the General Settings menu?

Thanks

I’am currently working on a Dutch translation file for bbPress, zo maybe today, otherwise today it will be come available

I want to be able to add the latest post made in a forum section on the front page (and everywhere it lists forums).

If I try to do that, it will just keep repeating the value for the first throughout the list.

It’s on this site, if it makes a difference

Thanks in advance for any help

The first two user registrations I’ve had on my new forum are both using @mail.ru email addresses. Experience with other forums tells me these are probably spam registrations. On the SMF forums I admin I block @mail.ru email addresses from being able to register at all. Is there a way to do this in bbPress? Maybe have them default to Inactive or Blocked depending on the email address used?

LOL!

Just installed bbPress into my WP 2.5 blog (sub-folder) and using the same database.

For some strange reason, when I click on a forum link, it takes me to my blog with a “page not found error”.

I’m calling the blog-header.php file from WordPress, which from what I’ve read is part of the problem. I’m doing so because I’m using the same sidebars, header, and footer in my forum as the blog. If there’s another, relatively easy, way to do that then I’m all ears.

When using permalinks for the bbPress pages a 404 header is being returned. The page displays ok in Firefox & IE7, but the 404 is going to cause issues with search engines.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

You can get a Norwegian translation of 0.9.0.1 here.

I’m trying to install bbPress on a local Intranet Server (Its on a local network for my employees to use for collaboration.) And I’m getting caught on Step 3. When i put in any email address it says that the Email Address “Appears to be invalid” and doesn’t let me continue, My main email ends in .co.uk which i thought might have been the problem but even .com and .info addresses dont work. Any ideas? (Using the latest version with XAMPP / Apache)

Hi, I’m experimenting with embedding some of the bbPress commenting features into an existing website and I was wondering how to set a topic ID.

If I do something like this it will return the topic title just fine:

$topic = get_topic( 162 );

$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;

echo $topic->topic_title;

But as soon as I try something like this I realize that I don’t have an active topic because it no longer returns the information:

$topic = get_topic( 162 );

$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;

if (is_topic()) echo $topic->topic_title;

Hope that was clear,

Thanks!
