The idea is when a user is reading a Topic, they can click a button to directly message the person who created a particular topic or reply. I'm thinking it would fit somewhere under the avatar.

I have a plugin called cartpauj PM which can accept the user ID via a GET variable in the URL.

The trouble is I can't seem to find my way through the many layers of template files and functions to do what I want.

The bbp_get_reply_author_link function seems to be closest to doing what I need but I don't want to edit that directly and screw up any potential updates in the future.

Any tips?

It sounds like maybe another plugin or a theme setting is interfering.

If it fixes the problem, then activate one plugin at a time to find the problem one..

My best guess...

Didn't make any difference to the forum page, but the topic page got worse...

When I try to go directly to topic page with the URL, I only get a white page with the following error:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in ../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in ../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ../wp-includes/class-wp.php:201) in ../wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

I'm not really sure what those errors mean, but that is my best guess, that somehow it doesn't like the .html?

At my forums root http://klymene.net/forums/ you will see 2 forums listed - English and Hindi. You will also see that there is an indication of some content under English.

If you click on English http://klymene.net/forums/forum/english no topics are listed.

On top of page, you will see error message

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

You can go directly to http://klymene.net/forums/topic/test and see the topic which should be under the English forum. Topic actions like Reply are absent though.

On top of page, you will see error

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

P.S. In Settings > Permalinks, the setting is
/%postname%.html

This 'should' set the permalinks for everything so that your topics will show up. Hopefully solving the problem.

I have just installed bbPress plugin into my WordPress (with Weaver II theme - based on TwentyEleven theme).

When I go to the forums root, the layout seems acceptable.

However, when I click on a forum, I am taken to a page where I do not see any topics listed under the forum, even though I have created a topic under this forum, and this is acknowledged in the forum list (root).

If I go directly to the topic URL by typing it in address bar, I do get to the topic page, which is visible just fine (except that no reply, flag, quote etc buttons are available).

Please help!

thnx for the info.

I don't think that the template files are currently used, even if placed within your currently active theme. According to JJ< bbPress 2.1 should make this much easier.

Right now, the only way I know how to change the appearance in your own theme is to actually remove the shortcode actions and write your own custom shortcodes.

You can of course add a bbpress.php/forums.php page and place that within your theme to do some basic changes such as removing sidebars.

So I tried dumping the templates into my theme. Still nothing. I switched the site's theme to twenty ten and all of the pages work great. Switch back to my theme, and it's not working.

I tried adding the add_theme_support in, nothing. Then I uploaded 2.1-bleeding, still nothing. I put the theme on a non multisite installation, installed bbpress, same results. I installed bbPress on another site using a theme i've created, worked fine. So.. I'm missing something somewhere in my theme, and It's driving me nuts. Any insight at all would be most appreciated.

I am currently running WordPress with Weaver theme, and wondering if bbPress can directly utilize that theme, as that would be one of the big thinks I'd be seeking to achieve by moving from phpbb to bbpress...

Right now there is just the one theme available which I see is running correctly on your site. I'm sure more themes are in the pipeline.

I have installed BBPress into my wordpress site - http://www.3hreedee.com

However at the moment it looks pretty blank, is there anyway of installing a theme to bbpress even though it is within a wordpress site? I have tried uploading themes into the FTP themes folder however cannot find anywhere within bbadmin that would allow me to install these?

My test link is here:http://www.3hreedee.com/forums/

Thanks for your help.

Just add something like this to your style.css:

.post.category-html h2 {
	padding-left: 32px;
	background: url(http://cdn5.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32/file_extension_html.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
}

.post.category-php h2 {
	padding-left: 32px;
	background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0680/page_white_php.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
}

.post.category-css h2 {
	padding-left: 32px;
	background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0300/css_valid.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
}

Then put your posts in categories of slug 'php','html','css'.

*Note - You should also download the referenced icons/images to your server instead of linking to theirs.

I have tried several plugins and they don't seem to work. If this is not doable then no biggie was just thinking it would be nice to dress up the post some.

No timeline, but the sooner the better. :)

Let me know how it looks

change:

#header {
	clear: both;
	margin-top: 16px;
}

to:

#header {
	clear: both;
	margin-top: 16px;
	background: url(http://www.url.com/path/to/image.png) no-repeat right center;
}

...obviously replacing the URL to the image with one of your own.

Been reading wordpress stuff and messing with my site since 5am. I know there is not much content there but want to get it visually and feature wise laid out before putting up more content.

Below that, you can set your logo width and logo height. You should resize the image prior to uploading so it doesn't look choppy. The size is up to you - depending on the orientation of your logo graphic.

To align it to the right, you'll need to edit the style.css.

Find:

#header .inner {
	padding-top: 15px;
	padding-bottom: 20px;
}

and change to:

#header .inner {
	padding-top: 15px;
	padding-bottom: 20px;
	float:right;
}

Glad you like the theme :)

BTW did I mention I really like this theme. Clean and all.

Sorry if I was unclear.

I will try what you have posted and see if that fixes it.

I just did what you said and its working fine.
