It’s an conflict with you theme 🙁
If you activate TwentyTen/Eleven that page will show up right.
Did you trying upgraded to 2.1.x first?
Just for grins, try activating TwentyTen/Elven theme and see if it then displays right.
This will rule out your theme doing something screwy.
Having better control over the sidebar in bbPress is a very common request and there is even a trac ticket for it.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to handle this automatically. Each theme/framework handles the placement of the sidebar differently, so we can’t bbPress (or a plugin) can’t simply say “don’t show the sidebar” – it’s going to require modifications to your theme.
For those of you who want control over your sidebar, are flexible with theme you are using, and are not comfortable editing your current theme, there is another solution out there.
I created a plugin for sites running on the Genesis Framework called bbPress Genesis Extend. This plugin primarily builds in bbPress compatibility for the Genesis Framework, however it also ads in a few handy extra features – namely full sidebar control.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/screenshots/
If you use the Genesis Framework and this plugin, it allows you to choose what layout you want to use on bbPress pages (full width page, content-sidebar, sidebar-content, etc). Additionally it also has the option to create a dedicated sidebar for bbPress pages, which would allow you to use bbPress widgets on the bbPress portion of your site.
Hopefully as bbPress becomes more popular, other themes and frameworks will build in similar features which will give site administrators control over the layout/sidebar without having to touch any of the code in your theme.
What theme are you using?
I’m not sure how the plugins are working so I can’t say.
There is a related ticket in trac for an improved search template page, see #1956.
My original code snippet above is wrong. I had copied out of a plugin I wrote and it has a syntax error (extra parathesis) from ripping it out of a class.
If you use the snippet @jshultz provides, that should be correct. You should be able to place it inside your theme’s functions.php file.
Do not place anything (or modify at all) inside the /bbpress plugin folder, as you will lose all changes when you update bbPress.
See ticket #1958 (couldn’t find an existing ticket).
I guess step 1 would be deciding just how we want to structure and layout the hierarchy. Not sure if you want to discuss that here or in trac.
So you want it an option that’s available in the default theme or that’s what the default theme will have, period?
It’s funny, because almost every bbPress gig I’ve worked on the clients want forums like this – or specifically, almost exactly like what Lynq came up with (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/). So far they have all changed their minds when they find out its actually going to cost money to achieve this format, vs something that is just built in. However, it’s definitely something I’d like to see. @johnjamesjacoby – what are your thoughts on this? Having a separate theme? bbPress compat hierarchical? etc We can at least get a trac ticket for this in place and maybe that will jump start some activity 🙂
Search “bbPress moderation” on the WordPress.org plugin repo – there are some plugins that will help moderate and deal with email notifications.
Currently in bbPress 2.1.x there is no support to have specific moderators on specific forums, etc. However, this is in the works for 2.2, so this functionality will arrive this year.
You may need to contact WooThemes via their support forum and see if they have a bbPress compatibility plugin much like many of the other frameworks do.
Which search plugin are you using? Did you report the error int he .org support forum for those plugins?
Testing, testing. 1, 2, 3. Thanks @johnjamesjacoby!
I’ll help out on trac with a patch like this where I can.
🙂
You don’t need to worry about using that conditional because those actions only fire on bbPress sections of the site 🙂
Being rude to someone who is trying to help is a quick way to get no help at all.
So the widget is empty for non-users?
There are many plugins available in the WordPress.org repository that will accomplish this. Here’s one to try
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-content-filter/
Lynq is right! That warning shouldn’t show up for any of the other users unless they are admins. So there is probably no need to mess with it since you are likely the only one seeing it 😉
Are you using bbPress 2.1 with bbp-theme-compat?
What are you looking for, specifically?
Honestly, IMO would be to use the hooks bbPress provides and just place the social buttons yourself (assuming that’s what you are looking for)/

You need to add open php tags at the topf of the gists so the color syntax will show up 🙂
Very very well done man. I think many people will find this extremely helpful (or they should) since this is definitely a common request 🙂
