Thanks for the input! Will take it into consideration.
Anyone wish to discuss my first 3 questions?

can anyone help me out? sorry for the bump ??

same issue here, please post detailed solution if you find one ??

I would be interested in this as well. Anyone?

Happy to help others in the wordpress community.

For others who post in the forum, please post the solution that resolved your problem so others can learn from it. Leaving the thread without giving the solution is a waste of space in the forum. The forum serves a valuable resource for others to find answers to their questions.

Thanks to both of you for the advice.

1) I see what you’re saying…are there cons to having blog on front page. I really want the forum to be the real focus of the site. I’m planning for a high traffic business forum.

2) I don’t know what a redirect does or how it works (i’m only semi tech-savy). Can you please explain in detail? How would the installations work? Would the forum be installed inside wordpress, or separate, or some other way?

3)Registration I agree should be integrated. My question was about the design. Should the design be identical with the forum and blog?

4) Why bbpress, besides it was created by wordpress people? Other boards have more options (phpBB, Vanilla, myBB, smf). Is bbpress suitable for a board that doesn’t have too many features but is also not bare bones?

Hi Dave, do you know how to do it with WordPress?

Actually, I was going to ask you on your site how to do it but I already asked a seo question two weeks ago and didn’t get answered so I figured you had many questions to deal with at the time. I’m not angry, don’t worry ??

so how is it done with WordPress? the email solution is good till the volume grows…

Not sure if this is the problem, but change permission on the uploads folder that is within wpcontent. should be on 777

post the results so others with the same problem could find the solution ??

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. I guess that’s the way to go for now, at least until the volume of questions becomes large: it would be difficult to do it manually then. I know Dave Taylor has it integrated but he uses Movable Type. It might involve a hack.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Otherwise I’ll just do it by a contact form.

Thanks Peter for the info. I have actually come across that plugin but it’s not quite what I’m looking for. Please take a look at https://www.askdavetaylor.com to see what I’m trying to duplicate. Ideally, each question and answer would be included within its own post/page.

Thanks again!

This is also precisely my problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I have downloaded 2.0 but do not know how to use it. I have read the readme but don’t understand. Even the first thing you talk about there ($order_etc…) I cannot find it in the header.php. Is there any way to write a more detailed readme or tutorial for this theme? Or where else can I go to find how to use it? It’s very nice indeed. Thank you

I solved the problem. For anyone who has this problem in the future, make sure to install the plugin like this

plugins/audiplayer(folder)
plugin/audioplayer.php

not like this
plugin/audioplayer/audioplayer(folder) and audioplayer.php

yes, I have commented on his site. waiting for a reply, but thought someone here may have already run into the same problem.

sorry, I mistyped and wrote { instead of [. I did use the correct code and it does not work.
