BuddyPress.org

Hmmm. Okay. Got a couple posts to show up on another page. (http://theglobalvagabond.com/bbpress-front/)

Might have to find someone to help me make it look better though.

@henrywright-1 making a bit of a mess of these replies; I should have actually mentioned its bbpress for the forums 🙂

oh no I would not customize the design 🙂

only permissions and functions

@mercime the only plugin I am using is bbPress and the only modification I made to header.php is adding this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

and my functions.php only has this code:

<?php
if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles' ) ) :
    function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {}
endif;
?>

Thanks, however I do not have any other modification;

1. .htaccess is the original excluding the changes for the Network Install.
2. Other plugings beside BuddyPress and bbPress are deactivated. Even tried without bbPress and the efect is the same.
3. No custom code.

I saw that if I delete the cookies regarding the website, visiting it will not produce this efect, but once loged in and out, visiting the site will take you to the register page.
Still very anoying..

ok so friendship kinda works still I,m a newbie and the topics cannot be found. Mentions don’t autosubmit or theres no submit button that I can see and other plugins tell me that bbpress is not active lol Thanks for your time!.

Didn’t want to use those hardcoded ones cause I have an MU installation and too many sites to account for. The bbPress one works great, I just cannot seem to redirect?

Yessssss! Thanks @andrewteg! I was seriously beginning to think I dreamed the whole thing up…not sure why I could not find this page, but that is EXACTLY where I was.

Now, since I have found what I was looking for, I’d really like to get some opinions of the plugin and see if this will actually do what I am planning for this site. I am open to all opinions and suggestions. My understanding of BuddyPress and bbPress is coming along and the site is starting to look like what I envisioned. You can see the preliminary site at http://accessories.ldjautobody.com.

First, let me explain what I have planned for this site and, like I said, I am open to all suggestions and comments. I would like to hear what the experts have to say. Good or bad, I need your opinions. You ALL have great ideas and I respect whatever you might have to say or add. 🙂

This blog and forum are dedicated to custom car and motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere. Car enthusiasts are passionate about their subject, and in addition to giving them a place to share their projects and discuss those among each other, I would also like to let them post some articles, hoping that the fresh content will keep the search engines hanging out on the site and help boost the rankings. I have never run a forum site or used BuddyPress or bbPress before and I’m not really sure how this all works in relation to SEO. I do, however, deal with car and motorcycle enthusiasts on a daily basis and I know that I can most likely count on them to get some very good discussions going among themselves and that is my hope for this site.

We will also be doing some affiliate marketing from this site, and my hope is that in a perfect World, the fresh content and activity level of the site will keep us ranking well in the search engines and bring some new customers to the site. Since we are an “auto body shop”, our normal advertising is concentrated in a very local area. The affiliate site, however, will have a much broader range and we will be advertising nationwide vs. the small local area that the body shop is limited to. So my hope is that the increased activity on the site will increase the number of people visiting and also help us reach out well beyond our local area. At least, that is our goal for now!

Thank you all again for all of your help. I am looking forward to hearing anything my experts have to add as we move forward with getting the site ready to launch. 🙂

@bphelp

So I don’t want to use the meta widget as that just provides links to the login and register pages, which is an extra click that I don’t want users to have to do.

I am using mu, using 2012 child theme. Really don’t want to use a plugin, got too many as it is. Thought that BP would have some kind of solution for this outta the box? And if I use bbPress the widget shows up default under widgets and seems to work great.

Thanks

Also the original post is 694px and fits properly, but all replies are 710px and float to the left. I’d like all replies to be the same width as the original post, but can’t figure out how to do this.
