You’re correct that this plugin is intended for single- site installs, but I’m happy to add compatibility wherever possible. * – David * [ivnus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivnus/) * (@ivnus) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-patch-fix-for-multisite/#post-3054514) * [@gawain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gawain/) * Could you provide the code for the WPMU patch again? the pastebin link is dead now. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Gawain Lynch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gawain/) * (@gawain) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-patch-fix-for-multisite/#post-3054515) * [@ivnus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivnus/): [http://pastebin.com/MNVbNZFZ](http://pastebin.com/MNVbNZFZ) * Basically just change line 531 from: `wp_register_script( 'bbppt-admin-script', WP_PLUGIN_URL .

Right now this plugin checks to be sure that bbPress functions are available before letting the user try to create a topic. * What’s really needed is a way to specify which site will host the bbPress topics, and then switch to that site when creating or loading topics and replies. Sounds easy, but there are a lot of things that need to be accounted for: e.g. how to handle not having bbPress functions loaded, and whether the URLs and paths in the topic display will make sense on the target site. * [AutomatedKid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/automatedkid/) * (@automatedkid) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-patch-fix-for-multisite/#post-3054533) * @ david dean – thanks for taking the time to respond to my inquiry about your plugin. i understand completely everything you just mentioned, i knew it would require some added programming, but just wasn’t sure if it was a doable thing or not. and like i mentioned previously, my idea is for topics to go to the main blog’s forums only, not several, so it’s not some crazy and wild idea i had there. * i’m not sure how this project of mine is going to work or not. if the project does work out, which i hope it does, by chance, r u for hire to make something like this possible? there would be no better person than the original author of the plugin to continue his creativity and make it happen, right? 🙂 just curious, that’s all. because i really think ur plugin was a brillant idea. * thanks again * [David Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddean/) * (@ddean) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-patch-fix-for-multisite/#post-3054534) * Hi AutomatedKid – * I hope I didn’t offend you with my post. I was just brainstorming what it would take to implement, and didn’t mean to throw a bunch of requirements at you. 🙂 * Your idea definitely isn’t crazy, and at least one other person has requested the same thing in these forums. I am available for development work, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to discuss that further. I wish you the best with your site! * – David * David at generalthreat dot com * [AutomatedKid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/automatedkid/) * (@automatedkid) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-patch-fix-for-multisite/#post-3054535) * @ david dean – no, i wasn’t offended at all. it sounded like u were talking out loud, sorta what i do when i have several thoughts going on, so i didn’t think anything of it. but if u want apologize, i’ll accept it. j/k! 🙂 * and that sounds pretty good about contacting u @ ur site and seeing if we can maybe work something out w/ ur plugin. again, i first need to get the site going, if it works out, you’ll be on my list of people to contact. plus, i wouldn’t mind discussing more about nginx, extending wp network to multiple networks, and a few other things since glancing at ur site, those r the things i already had on my timeline to-do list! * hopefully we’ll talk soon Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: bbPress Topics for Posts] [PATCH] Fix for multisite’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/bbpress-post-topics.svg) * [Post Comments as bbPress Topics](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-post-topics/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-post-topics/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-post-topics/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-post-topics/reviews/) * 9 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [AutomatedKid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/automatedkid/) * Last activity: [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-patch-fix-for-multisite/#post-3054535) * Status: resolved
