Even in 2014, forums are still very popular, despite the rising popularity of the newer forms of social networks. The beauty of forums is that they allow for a focused discussion amongst like minded people. However, forum software is notoriously sluggish, hard to manage and can cause many forums to eventually lose their spark.

即使在2014年,论坛也仍然很受欢迎,尽管新型社交网络形式越来越流行。 论坛的优点在于可以让志趣相投的人进行集中讨论。 但是,众所周知,论坛软件速度缓慢,难以管理,并且可能导致许多论坛最终失去活力。

Wouldn’t it be great if you could turn your favorite CMS and blog platform into a full featured forum? Enter bbPress. bbPress is a forum application that comes in the form of a WordPress plugin. By using WordPress to power your forum, you can rapidly reduce the learning curve, for both users and forum managers. bbPress was developed by the people who also brought us WordPress itself.

如果您可以将自己喜欢的CMS和博客平台转变为功能全面的论坛,那不是很好吗? 输入bbPress 。 bbPress是一个论坛应用程序,以WordPress插件的形式出现。 通过使用WordPress为论坛提供支持,您可以为用户和论坛管理员快速减少学习难度。 bbPress是由还带给我们WordPress本身的人们开发的。

So, is WordPress really up for the the task? Can a CMS effectively be turned into a forum with all the standard features you would expect? We’ve seen WordPress being used in many different capacities, so we know the potential is there.

那么,WordPress是否真的可以胜任这项任务? CMS是否可以有效地转变为具有您期望的所有标准功能的论坛? 我们已经看到WordPress具有多种功能 ,因此我们知道其潜力。

In this article, I will take a look at how easy bbPress is to install on WordPress. I will also review the main features that make it so popular and how it stacks up against ‘traditional’ forum software and other competing WordPress forum plugins.

在本文中,我将介绍bbPress在WordPress上的安装有多么容易。 我还将回顾使其流行的主要功能,以及它如何与“传统”论坛软件和其他竞争WordPress论坛插件叠加。

配置bbPress (Configuring bbPress)

As you can see in this screenshot, setting up a new bbPress based forum is as easy as making a new post. You might think this approach could never serve a really useful forum, and you’re right. It is rather simplistic to say the least. Or is it?

如您在此屏幕快照中所见,建立一个新的基于bbPress的论坛就像发布新帖子一样容易。 您可能会认为这种方法永远无法为真正有用的论坛提供服务,并且您是对的。 至少可以说是相当简单的。 还是?

bbPress demo

bbPress演示

This is just the base from which you can build upon, but I always like a good place to start. After a few minutes of adding sub-forums and categories, people can start posting topics.

这只是可以建立基础的基础,但是我始终喜欢一个很好的起点。 在添加了子论坛和类别几分钟后,人们可以开始发布主题。

This is where familiarity with WordPress has an advantage.

这是熟悉WordPress的一个优点。

So setting up a bare bones forum is pretty straightforward, and if this is what you’re after you can stop reading here.

因此,建立一个简单的论坛非常简单,如果您要这样做,可以在这里停止阅读。

However, I want to add a bit more meat to it now, so let’s have a look at the main features.

但是,我现在想添加一些肉,因此让我们看一下主要功能。

特征 (Features)

用户权限 (User Permissions)

I’ll start with one of the features that really matters for a forum: User permissions.

我将从论坛真正重要的功能之一开始:用户权限。

A solid permission system is important if you want to limit the usage of your site for certain users. Simply put, you don’t want them to be able to delete or edit each other’s messages or make new categories for example.

如果要限制某些用户使用网站,则可靠的许可系统非常重要。 简而言之,您不希望他们能够删除或编辑彼此的消息或例如创建新类别。

We all know that WordPress by default has a great permissions system, and the bbPress plugin makes excellent use of it. bbPress comes with five pre-defined roles, which should be sufficient for most forums.

我们都知道WordPress默认具有强大的权限系统,并且bbPress插件可以很好地利用它。 bbPress具有五个预定义的角色 ,对于大多数论坛来说,这些角色就足够了。

  • Keymaster: The admin role, with all possible rights.

    **管理员:具有所有可能权限的管理员角色。

  • Moderator: Used for keeping the forum tidy. Had almost the same rights as the Keymaster, except for being able to delete forums.

    主持人 :用于保持论坛整洁。 除了可以删除论坛之外,其权限与Keymaster几乎相同。

  • Participant: For contributing forum members. This is the default role for new users.

    参与者 :用于贡献论坛成员。 这是新用户的默认角色。

  • Spectator: Read only rights.

    观众 :只读权限。

  • Blocked: For those who have been naughty :)

    被阻止 :对于那些顽皮的人:)

Of course it wouldn’t be WordPress if there wasn’t a plugin to add your own set of permissions. Seeing these default roles and their permissions, it is safe to say they have got this part well covered.

当然,如果没有插件来添加您自己的权限集,那将不是WordPress。 看到这些默认角色及其权限,可以肯定地说它们已经涵盖了这一部分。

适度 (Moderation)

Now let’s look at how easy it is to moderate posts which is just as important as user permissions.

现在,让我们来看一看与用户权限同样重要的审核帖子是多么容易。

bbPress comes with two ways of moderating topics and replies. First, there is a control bar on each post. This bar gives you the ability to perform some handy actions:

bbPress提供了两种审核主题和回复的方法。 首先,每个帖子上都有一个控制栏。 此栏使您能够执行一些方便的操作:

  • Edit/Trash/Spam: Needs to be there of course.

    编辑/垃圾桶/垃圾邮件 :当然需要存在。

  • Stick (to front): Make a topic sticky which puts it on top of the category.

    粘贴(在最前面) :将一个主题置为粘帖,将其置于类别的顶部。

  • Merge: Move a topic into a similar topic, along with its replies.

    合并 :将一个主题及其答复移到一个相似的主题中。

  • Split: Take a single reply, and spin it off into its own topic.

    拆分 :仅回答一个,然后将其分解为自己的主题。

I must say these are some very advanced features for a plugin which seemed pretty simple at first.

我必须说这些是插件的一些非常高级的功能,乍一看似乎很简单。

The second way of moderating is by using WP admin. Here you will find all of the topics and replies listed in the same way as comments are displayed. It allows you to go quickly through the whole list without looking at each topic or reply individually.

第二种主持方式是使用WP admin。 在这里,您将找到所有主题和回复,其显示方式与显示评论的方式相同。 它使您可以快速浏览整个列表,而无需查看每个主题或单独答复。

If you want to make it even easier there’s a moderation plugin available. This one comes in handy when your forum is becoming larger. It provides you multiple ways of notifying yourself and/or your moderators of new topics, replies or any suspicious activity (like anonymous comments).

如果您想使其变得更加简单,则可以使用一个审核插件 。 当您的论坛越来越大时,这一功能会派上用场。 它为您提供了多种通知自己和/或主持人新主题,回复或任何可疑活动(例如匿名评论)的方法。

So moderation is another plus for bbPress. For a piece of free software, I think you’d have to agree that it’s really pretty good. What it really shows you is the developers really knew what they were doing and kept the focus on what is really most important for a forum.

因此,节制是bbPress的另一个优点。 对于一件免费软件,我认为您必须同意它确实非常不错。 它真正向您显示的是开发人员真的知道他们在做什么,并一直专注于对论坛最重要的事情。

小部件 (Widgets)

Being a WordPress plugin, bbPress also brings in a number of distinctive features. There is, of course, the ability to use widgets as you can with a normal WordPress installation.

作为WordPress插件,bbPress还带来了许多独特的功能。 当然,您可以在普通的WordPress安装中使用小部件。

Using these widgets also helps you to shape the look of your forum. I particularly like the forum stats widget.

使用这些小部件还可以帮助您塑造论坛的外观。 我特别喜欢论坛统计小部件。

The official bbPress forums I have used for this screenshot really give you a good insight on how professional your forum could look if you are prepared to give it a bit more attention (and also had a good number of users).

我用于此屏幕截图的bbbb官方论坛确实为您提供了一个很好的见解,让您了解如果您准备给予更多关注(并且也有大量的用户),您的论坛看起来会有多专业。

简码 (Shortcodes)

There’s also the option to use shortcodes. This is an easy way to incorporate elements of your forum into your posts or pages. You can even list a single reply, which is perfect if you want to base a blog post on it.

还可以选择使用简码 。 这是将论坛元素合并到帖子或页面中的简便方法。 您甚至可以列出一个答复,如果您希望以此为基础的博客文章,这是完美的选择。

Using these shortcodes also gives you the opportunity to promote your forum within your content. This is really unique, since a tool like vBulletin (one of the ‘Top Dogs’ on the forum software scene) can’t do this out of the box.

使用这些短代码还使您有机会在您的内容中推广论坛。 这确实是独一无二的,因为像vBulletin这样的工具(在论坛软件中是“顶级狗”之一)无法做到这一点。

It also comes with full BuddyPress integration, to allow for advanced user profiles and group forums. For those who’d like to know more, check out my article on BuddyPress.

它还具有完整的BuddyPress集成,以允许高级用户个人资料和论坛。 对于那些想了解更多的人,请查看我在BuddyPress上的文章

备用WordPress论坛插件 (Alternative WordPress Forum Plugins)

bbPress really is, all in all, an excellent plugin if you want to run an pretty advanced forum that is also still quite easy to manage.

如果您想运行一个非常高级的论坛,并且仍然非常易于管理,bbPress确实是一个出色的插件。

Let’s now take a look how it stacks up to some of the other WordPress forum plugins. I already covered one in my “15 things You May Not Know WordPress Can Do” article, which is ForumEngine.

现在让我们看看它如何与其他一些WordPress论坛插件堆叠在一起。 我已经在“您可能不知道WordPress可以做到的15件事”一文中介绍了其中的一篇,即ForumEngine

What ForumEngine brings to the table is mostly a slick look (understatement) and some funky jQuery tricks. Manageability, however, is quite limited as is it mostly a combination of WordPress posts plus comments.

ForumEngine带到表中的大部分是光滑的外观(轻描淡写)和一些时髦的jQuery技巧。 但是,可管理性非常有限,因为它主要是WordPress帖子和评论的组合。

There’s also Simple Press, which comes with so many additional features that you will soon become overwhelmed. It certainly takes away the simplicity that bbPress offers.

还有Simple Press ,它具有许多附加功能,您很快就会不知所措。 当然,它消除了bbPress提供的简单性。

You could also consider a free tool like phpBB if you’re looking for more features. There’s also a plugin to connect phpBB to your WordPress site.

如果您正在寻找更多功能,也可以考虑使用像phpBB这样的免费工具。 还有一个插件可以将phpBB连接到您的WordPress网站。

结论 (Conclusion)

What initially started out as a bit of a disappointment with bbPress being ‘too simple’ for a forum actually turned into being more of an admiration for what they have achieved. It is very hard to make managing a forum look so easy to users and they have certainly succeeded in that.

最初使bbPress感到失望的是,bbPress对于一个论坛“太简单了”,实际上变成了对其成就的钦佩。 很难让用户对论坛的管理如此简单,他们当然已经成功了。

bbPress really delivers on simplicity without sacrificing the most important functionality that a forum plugin really needs to include. Even better, it makes good use of the WordPress integration.

bbPress确实提供了简单性,而没有牺牲论坛插件真正需要包含的最重要的功能。 更好的是,它很好地利用了WordPress集成。

If you are prepared to put in around an hour of your time after installing it, you’ll have a very decent WordPress-powered forum in no time.

如果您准备在安装后花费大约一个小时的时间,那么您将很快拥有一个由WordPress驱动的非常不错的论坛。
