so pretty much the Emoji Beatrice was to allow users to comment and normally comment but create their own posts so imagine it like this pretty much for the majority of WordPress is life only the administrator or the owner of this site or anyone who had access to the back and allow users regular old users to create their own blog post now instead of allowing them to just regular old blog post their whole own section for it so instead of how to post a group it all up into Forum show let me talk a little bit about the hierarchy of how it works at the very top level is for them no forums cannot be created by a user has to be created by someone who has access to the backend but then you get deeper into each Forum you can then create topics which the administrators can create but you coming you can create
but the users can also create these topics and in each topics people can make post sleeve threads replies everything with that the only part that isn’t available to access is the actual forms itself which is at the very top level so let’s talk a little bit about us versus buddypress this is a very common debates and older people don’t really know the difference between the two don’t let me explain this year but he pressed was me to add social interaction into your website it was me so that you could chat with your friends join groups and do all sorts of things what does Binky that you have to take from here is that body pressed was created for social interaction between France and groups who has BB press was made social interactions through writing so let’s just talk about this one more time again is a pretty confusing their social features but buddypress is mainly about
interaction on patching and that’s more casual feel worthy be pressed was made with a more formal approach where you can create threads replies post so it is like the main differences and similarities believe it or not but just know that they’re two very different things but then when you join them together they can actually create something very great picture both based off of the WordPress user system so having the same user system for to plug in and you can join them together increasing be the immediate website which is what we’re going to do now let’s move on
Sub-forums It’s great that it works natively with WordPress but the lack of options and settings is a joke. I have a support forum with 50 sub-forums and counting, all of these sub-forums are shown on the main page and clutters the entire forum. Why there is no option yet as of 2020 to set a limit of sub-forums shown on main category is beyond me.
Spontaneous feeling about bbPress is that it’s a lazy take on trying to make a forum software that works with WordPress. Sadly my theme requires bbPress to function properly, would exchange it in a heartbeat.
Broke admin access. Goodbye I had installed this to test it out and had deactivated it, and it broke admin access to my site, twice, overwriting permissions for my admin account.
NEVER touching this plugin again, especially after reading that this has been an ongoing issue for years now. Cost me a lot of time and effort, not to mention IT fees in order to diagnose the issue so that I could access the admin tools to delete it.
Goodbye! I will be sure to find your other plugins and avoid them as well.
Wrecks your roles; impossible to clean up after – AVOID THIS PLUGIN We wanted to try BBPress but we discovered quickly that it caused way too many problems with roles & permissions for the site. So we removed it. But it turns out that for at least 8 years bbPress has known the roles can’t be removed cleanly and they just shrug and say “not important.” So, I recommend you NOT INSTALL THIS PLUGIN. It will leave ugly traces behind itself like a nasty WordPress slug and you’ll waste hours googling it and trying to fix it to no avail. It’s old, it’s ugly, and it’s a mess.
This is classic This is really helpful plugins with classic functionality. So helpful and powerful addon. Thank you!
I love it! bbPress is powerfull and it integrates well with buddypress. I huge recommend it!
Works well Helpful plugin, good functionality.
It works, it’s very basic, and clunky If you’ve ever used other forums software, or especially if you’ve deployed other forums software, it becomes very clear after you install bbpress that this plugin is basic, and clunky. An awful lot of what would be considered standard functionality in forums software simply isn’t present, or if it is, is awkward and clunky to use.
Having said that, it is the best forums plugin I am aware of for WordPress, perhaps the only one, and it is FOSS, so hurrah for that, and it mostly does the job. There are also plugins available for it that extend it’s functionality and add features which almost put it on a par with other forums software, but even with those, not quite.
Dois-je rester en version 2.5 Ã vie ? Bonjour,
BBpress est un chouette programme, le souci est que je suis obligé de revenir à la version 2.5.14 car dès que je passe à l’une des versions récentes le forum rencontre de nombreux soucis, pb horodatage, sujets qui disparaissent, édition d’un post impossible sans perdre le sujet complet, bref, compliqué !
Je précise que j’ai changé d’hébergeur et de thème ces derniers mois… c’est bien BBPRESS le souci…
J’attends la version 2.6.7 avec espoir…
Very raw and has issues OOB the forum looks very raw and absolutely DOES NOT follow the active theme. It also produced some artifacts that the dev refused to even look into.
Total Lack of Communication How do the developers expect users to continue using this plugin if none of them will answer troubleshooting questions? Not to mention there is no direct troubleshooting email to engage with.
Your plugin comes with many issues, some that are years old, that need to be fixed. Iâm thinking of changing to a completely new plugin because of the lack of communication from developers.
It’s fine to have a support forum for users to help other users, but when your bugs are this abundant, clearly you need a better troubleshooting team that actually responds to inquiries.
Iâve been developing websites with both paid AND free products and have never had any issues with receiving one to one responses with the free products. Ever. This plugin has been a first.
Disappointed.
