In reply to: Installed but it's no where to be seen
I don’t understand.
bbPress doesn’t have any reason to use brackets in URLs. Slugs are parts of a URL.
Example: http://domain.com/forums/ <–‘forums’ is the root slug of your forums
In reply to: Installed but it's no where to be seenI’ll take it as a compliment that you’re lost in the simplicity if it all.
If you go to Settings > Forums, you’ll see the slugs for where your forums and topics live. You’re free to change these obviously, and also free to manipulate the output with shortcodes or customized templates in your theme.
In reply to: Index pageNo bugs here; it sounds like you’re just doing it all incorrectly, and what you see is what you get. 🙂
For your installation, you should probably pick 1 method of having a forum index that works for you, and use only that one. If you don’t want to use shortcodes, and would rather use a page template, then just do that way. Don’t make 1 page with a shortcode, and another at the forum root, an another here and another there.
In reply to: bbPress Plugin 2.1.1 breaks phpBB user pwd resetI forgot to include that revision in 2.1.1. It will be in 2.1.2 later this week. 🙁
In reply to: Index pagepage-front-forums.php is a page template. You need to set the template in the edit page screen.
I tweaked the widget code for what will be 2.1.2. If you can report back if it fixes your issues would be great.
In reply to: Creating an FAQ for the bbPress CodexThanks everyone again for taking this and running with it. It’s a huge, huge help.
In reply to: This could be much simpler for basic users…There are shortcodes for sign-up, login, and lost-password forms. Since there’s no UI for shortcodes in WordPress, you’ll need to check the bbPress codex to find them.
In reply to: Two different forums with different rulesYou’ll want to research ‘WordPress multisite” and bbPress will take care of the rest. Most of the issues you’ll run into aren’t up to the software, but rather the user’s experience of visiting two forums, and how you choose to handle that strict divide.
In reply to: bbPress Plugin 2.1.1 breaks phpBB user pwd resetThis should be fixed in 2.1.1 actually. The problem is each user has a meta value stored with ‘Phpbb’ when it should be ‘phpBB’. Updating the old meta keys should fix it, and I’ll add that bit into the next bbPress update.
In reply to: Forum says "logged out" when I am logged in.Sounds like cookies or caching, both of which are up to you to tune and troubleshoot, since bbPress’s stock settings play nicely with WordPress core in those regards.
In reply to: Two different forums with different rulesYou could use a subdirectory multisite installation of WordPress, and then activate bbPress on each site.
In reply to: Working with WP-FilebaseI’m not familiar with it myself. This gives you the opportunity to become the expert in making them work together. 🙂 Report back here what you find, and as you have specific questions we’re happy to guide.
In reply to: Modifying Page Title in Forums ArchiveI would like to remove the post to my site above
Done.
NOTE: The update to 2.1.1 did not fix this bug.
It certainly should have. Try going into Tools > Forums and using the tool to recalculate private and hidden forums. If that doesn’t fix the issue for you, something else is broken fairly specific to your configuration.
In reply to: This could be much simpler for basic users…It’s true. The little shiny pieces of polish, and the things you don’t have to do, are what make software easy to use for everyone, and ultimately more successful as a result.
If you’re holding off on using bbPress because it doesn’t do everything you need it to do out of the box, you’re just not the audience for the software (yet.) Clearly it’s not useless; we’re using it here very successfully.
If your users can’t figure out how to use your site, it’s up to you to cater the theme to fit their wants and needs. If turn-key bbPress isn’t it, that’s totally okay – you’re free to manipulate the design however you’d like.
Future versions of bbPress will receive more and more refinement. Hopefully they improve your outlook – if not, hopefully you contribute code changes upstream to improve the software.
In reply to: bbPress 2.1 User Profile and FavoritesAnything is possible. Right now, you’ll need to custom build something to meet the needs for your install(s). There’s nothing preventing this from happening, but you should know that BuddyPress expects that it’s user profiles are the canonical ones, so you’ll have a bit of customizing to do.
It’s because the topic is closed. You should be able to override this pretty easily with CSS in your theme.
In reply to: Cross Forum Search on bbpress.orgNo, it’s not.
Sounds like something in your sidebar is calling query_posts() or some other query that’s nooping your main query loop. Or, your sidebar is being included before the main content, and manipulating the main query.
Either way, you’ll probably have better luck making a bbpress.php template in the root of your theme, and including your sidebar there. That way it’s done in one shot, without needing to manipulate a bunch of template files.
In reply to: Cross Forum Search on bbpress.orgEventually. I’m working up to it. 🙂
In reply to: bbPress update 2.1.1 and buddypressDon’t see any obvious reason there would be any conflict. There isn’t over on testbp.org. Most likely something with the theme isn’t cooperating.
In reply to: Can I make the editor bigger?We use the WP Markdown plugin here, mostly as a trial run to see how it works. The plugin author specifically supports bbPress, and I’d like to keep trying out new and neat bbPress plugins here as we experiment with what works, what doesn’t, and what ideally we want to be in bbPress core.
In reply to: bbPress Language FilesJust updated to 2.1.1 – «Topic Description» is still not in the pot-File…
I don’t see ‘Topic Description’ as a string anywhere in 2.1.1.
In reply to: Change Breadcrumb text or remove breadcrumbDrop something like this in a plugin or your theme’s functions.php.
function your_filter_thing( $args = array() ) { $args['home_text'] = 'Home'; $args['root_text'] = 'Forums'; return $args; } add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'your_filter_thing' );
