Add the following code to your theme functions.php file
function wptumble_feed_request($vars) {
if (isset($vars['feed']) && !isset($vars['post_type']))
$vars['post_type'] = array('post', 'topic', 'reply');
return $vars;
}
add_filter('request', 'wptumble_feed_request');In reply to: BBPress forums incorrect widthIt’s just a simple css issue. If you can provide a link then I can track it down
In reply to: Is it possible to incorporate P2 with bbPress 2.0?Your of course correct. Either way it’s a fairly large job. Probably easy for master guru’s but way beyond my current ability.
I was mostly referring to the fact that if someone simply used P2, and included the bbPress template files in P2, that auto-update does not magically happen. There would still be some work required.
*My only experience with this was when I used P2, added a custom post-type, and found it did not auto refresh like posts did. I could have been doing something wrong, but after a few days of trying I just gave up.
In reply to: css questionOk, now I see what is going on.
The problem is that the bbpress stylesheet is relying upon selectors that are not present in your theme.
To explain:
Open up your bbpress.css file and you will notice that there are a lot of rules that start with the following:
#content
#container
#main
To fix:
1. backup your stylesheet first, very important just in case something doesn’t go perfectly.
2. Do a search and remove all instances of #content, #container, and #main from the stylesheet.
3. Save the stylesheet and upload it, replacing the old one.
Why:
The selectors above do not exist in your custom theme, so the rules are never going to be applied.
Now this is going to get you 90% to where you want to be. There are still going to be a few areas that you will have to manually adapt to your theme to make it perfect. There could also be rules in your theme’s stylesheet that may override the bbpress.css. In those instances you will either need to modify the rules of either stylesheet, or add in your own theme selectors to bbpress.
It is not really that big a job as once you remove the rules so much will automatically work for you.
I hope this helps.
*I’ve talked to JJ about removing the top level selectors from the css to help make it easier for everyone. The changes ‘may’ make it into the download someday, but that is his decision.
In reply to: Is it possible to incorporate P2 with bbPress 2.0?Yes, it would be possible to integrate bbPress into P2. Follow the directions of step #2 on the thread:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility
There is going to be a bit of customization needed to get it to layout properly, but it is not hard, just a bit time consuming.
Keep in mind though, that the bbPress forums will not auto update like P2 does for posts. That would be a huge custom job to accomplish.
In reply to: css questionIt is probably related to the theme you are using and the order in which the css files are called. If you can provide a link to the forum, I can take a quick peek and see the css load priorities.
It also depends upon whether you are simply using the template files within the plugin, or whether the theme you are using has all the bbPress template files loaded within your theme directory or not.
The way I did it on my site was to add the function support for bbPress into my custom theme’s functions.php file. I then copied all of the needed template and css files over from bbpress into my theme directory. There were a few other changes needed to do this, but once setup, I am able to edit the css files for bbPress within my theme directory. This means that I don’t have to worry much about upgrading bbPress and loosing any changes I have made.
Anyhow, a link to the forum would help a lot.
In reply to: new forum creation – vBulletin, bbpress, or phpbb ??It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your website. If you are already running wordpress and eventually want to have everything linked together between forums, blog posts, users etc, then bbPress is definitely the way to go.
If your primary focus of the website is forums only then I ‘may’ suggest vbulletin. I have no experience with phpbb, but have run very large vb forums for years now.
As to whether or not it is worth the money, well that’s different for everyone. I personally am going to transfer my larger forums over to bbPress as I much prefer the wordpress environment to vb.
At the moment vb can do a lot more out of the box than just about any other forum software, but I believe that bbPress is going to close this gap very quickly. Vbulletin is really bloated with a ton of features that really are not needed but some people just seem to like all the extra junk.
It really is a personal call. I can say though bbPress is progressing very nicely. It is a very solid foundation that can easily be built upon.
In reply to: bbpress has broken my wordpress URLsTry this:
Go into the wp-admin, then under the settings button is a link called permalinks. Go there and click save changes. (Even though you have not made changes to your permalinks, it is worth trying as many times this gets things back to normal when you add new post-types etc)
In reply to: bbPress 2.0 Plugin – Custom Theme IssueIt is really hard to troubleshoot the problem with a link to the site itself. Need to read the code output to see what is happening
In reply to: bbPress Forums-like themeThere are going to be a lot of us releasing custom themes for bbPress in the future. As said before, bbPress is very easy to work with when it comes to custom templates.
Keep in mind, bbPress is still beta, and there are not a lot of us using it yet. As it becomes stable, and gets more press, I believe you will see huge activity for themes and plugins.
The system is so easy that with just a few hours work, bbPress can be integrated into just about any theme. It really is that great and easy to work with.

In reply to: Problem with spacing "opic title"edit the buddypress.css file line 1218
table.forum {
margin: -9px 0 20px;
width: auto;
}If you are using a child theme then it is better to make the change there, as every time buddypress is updated you will loose the rule above.
I have no idea if you can run both at the same time as I have not tried it before. There really is no reason to run both that I can think of. I would simply just use the plugin vs.
In reply to: Integrate bbPress with my template fullwidthIt looks like you got it figured out as the forum is stretching all the way to your right sidebar. Site is looking quite good.

Just a guess, but when you setup a new forum, if you choose to make it a ‘category’ then you cannot post to it. Category forums are more like placeholders than forums.
If that is the case, then edit each forum and change the type in the admin.

In reply to: Integrate bbPress with my template fullwidthMost likely it is just a matter of adjusting some css rules, as with the plugin you don’t actually assign page templates to the forums.
*I am assuming you are using the bbpress plugin

In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – UpdatesThe topics tag template may still be a bug in the plugin. JJ was looking into it for me as I had the same problem.
*I do not have the 404 in my body tag on the user/view pages. I am also using a custom template on a subdomain wp install. That part ‘may’ be unique to your setup
–trying to save you some time
That feature is not yet currently available. Actually from my basic understanding of wp user roles, this is going to be a really tough one to tackle.
In general, the way wordPress works is to use actions like read_hidden_forums() where you can then assign that to a specific wp group. The issue comes into play with granular control, i.e. individual forums. Understanding how to extend the control is beyond my knowledge, but will probably be looked into someday.
My own personal plan of attack to solve this is to use buddypress groups to manage the permissions. Each buddypress group can easily have their own admins and moderators. And since each group can have its own forum, then the problem is somewhat solved.
I have not yet done this because I am in no ‘real’ hurry, and personally prefer to wait for buddypress 1.3 before I jump into another huge project.
As the projects mature I think we will start to see many new options popping up.
p.s.
If you are feeling somewhat adventurous, Justin has just released a new beta vs. of members.
http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/06/01/members-plugin-beta-testing
Yes, Justins plugin works where you choose the group you want to be able to view hidden forums. Once you have chosen the group you want to work with, check the box read_hidden_forums()
That will give the specific group in question the ability to read the hidden forums.
