I'm integrating bbpress into a wordpress site. The client wants to create multiple login identities, but each identity will potentially be used by multiple people. SO . . . in the comments section, I need the comment author to be able to enter his name in the name field, then display comment author'sname in the comments section.

Currently, no matter what I put in the comment author name field (then using 'bbp_reply_author' to display the author name), what I get is the admin name, not the name I typed in the field. Where does the name go? I've looked all over the files trying to find out where the author name typed into the form goes, and nothing comes up. Ditto for how to display it.

Thanks in advance . . .

.reply {
    bottom: 15px;
    line-height: 1.2em;
    position: absolute;
    right: 15px;
}

Good luck!

I run bbpress plugin 2.0.2 on one of Template Monster premium themes. WordPress 3.3.2.

I did not do any modifications to bbpress themes (To be honest, I don't quite understand it) I just installed the plugin, activated it, setup and voila - everything works but this one issue. I suppose it uses the themes css - I like the simplicity of it and I'd rather keep it this way.

So there you go. Please help. Let me know your price before hand. If you feel more comfortable, we can do it through freelancer of elance.

Thanks

As far as I understand these are the parameters in which bbPress is themed:

Your WP theme's page.php is used to display the bbPress. So all layout surrounding the bbPress itself is done in the main theme of your WP site.

BUT

there are many bbPress-templates too, and they are placed here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/

in a defaul install there is this theme: /bbp-twentyten/

You'll find it here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/

Inside this you'll see files like:
page-front-forums.php
single-topic.php
etc

In these files you'll see the setup for each single bbPress page layout as far as I understand it.

Any bbPress users that can confirm this?

I'm currently using WP 3.3.1 and, as you might have guessed from my question, theme twenty ten 1.3.

Cheers,

Michael

How do I get these listed in a more traditional style? Colours and simple changes I can do just fine, but obviously this is bigger than that.

Thanks again,

I am currently integrating BBPress with my custom theme. All going well so far, i've edited all the template files so they fit with my blog but i can't seem to find the file that controls the user profile page. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Natalie

See http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-21-theme-compatibility

There is a wordpress plugin I am trying to use, and it wants me to upload a file to my theme files.

If I upload the files to the BBPress theme folder, on the next update, wont it erase the file?

So, couldn't I copy the BBPress theme folder and put it in my twenty-ten theme directory as a child theme, and wouldn't that work? or not? Or, I I just being an idiot and forgetting something?

Info:
- Version of WordPress : 3.3.1
- Version of PHP/MySQL : 5.2/5.1
- Version of bbPress: 2.0.2

Thanks!

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.
