@tooltrainer – unrelated, and fixed. Try the latest revision. Was a bug with subforums, categories, and topic/reply counts.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

@CrownOfMars – Try the latest revision and let me know if it’s fixed for you. Was a regression from fixing something else.

@Rick Lewis – You haven’t started over, because you still have a custom theme. It looks to me like you still have

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

in your custom theme, even though you don’t have any bbPress files in your custom theme to actually provide bbPress support.

Using the add_theme_support() method is what tells bbPress not to use its own internal files, and just let WordPress do its thing and figure it out. In that case, bbPress will follow the normal template hierarchy for WordPress (archive.php, index.php, etc…)

So you either…

1. Copy the bbPress files out of the bbp-twentyten folder into your custom theme and use the add_theme_support() method, which allows you to use page templates.
2. Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed.
3. Create your own completely custom method of handling bbPress, which is possible to do but way more work than it’s probably worth doing unless you need something *really* tricked out.

@CrownOfMars – Looks like depending on how your forums are setup, that WordPress is doing some canonical redirecting. I’ll see what I can do to prevent that from happening here.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Can you all try the most recent revision, and see if that fixes it for you? I think there’s probably a cleaner way to handle some of this, but I’d like to let this sit for a few days and see how it’s received.

The limit is finding what circumstances should be prevented completely, and what should provide some kind of specific user feedback. The question is enough to make me want to eventually write some kind of legitimate permissions based access feedback; something that works similar to a 404.php but for access errors. No time to get this in before beta though.

@CrownOfMars – There is no need for a ‘/forums’forum’ page, and it should be redirecting to a 404 page, using your 404.php template file. Because a forum is of the post type ‘forum’ that’s how WordPress knows what kind of content to serve up, what template to use, etc…

Confirmed on a fresh installation. Working on a fix.

This is me, apologizing… with a fix!

Nothing really. It’s mostly for the AJAX of the favorites and subscribe links, which work perfectly fine without it.

Nice! Looks like some of the counts and ‘last active’ info are off, but those will recalculate themselves as people create new topics and replies.

Without knowing anything about coding, it’s going to be almost impossible.

You can learn to program though; once you do that, the sky is the limit.

The soon to be released bbPress plugin for WordPress will allow something like a moderation queue pretty easily, but it would need to be built.

Not an idiot, it’s just new and uncharted territory. I’ve coded a lot of little subtleties into the plugin that will come out as time goes on. Pretty much anything you want to do with it, you should be able to do. If you find a limitation, I want to fix it.

I am definitely outside of your immediate circle, and am running the bbPress plugin over at testbp.org/discussion. A site with over 22k subscribed users that are able to post in those forums with no issues.

Not saying there isn’t a bug somewhere, just saying it hasn’t manifested itself on my installs yet.

Also, the bug isn’t in WordPress 3.1, or 3.2. It’s probably in how I’m handling the query differences between the two versions, as some of the advanced meta type queries are being fine-tuned.

In your functions.php file for your theme.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Sounds like it works on 3.2, but not 3.1.

I’ll take a look and see what’s changed.

If you *moved* all the page templates out of the bbp-twentyten folder, and did not *copy* them, then exactly what you’ve described will occur.

If you copied them, and did not explicitly add this snippet to your theme, exactly what you’ve described will occur:

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

If your permalinks were flushed by another plugin, it’s possible that bbPress’s rewrites got missed. This is a known issue, and I’m working on a fix. Visit Admin > Settings > Forums, and save them, which will force bbPress to flush the rewrite rules again.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Also, the code itself is very heavily documented. If you’re curious about the inner workings, dive in and take a look. Honestly, documenting bbPress.org will be largely a community effort once I get things setup here. I’ll contribute to get it off the ground and will always be around to help, but it’s hard to build everything and document everything too. The WordPress codex is the culmination of years of hundreds of developers chipping in, and both bbPress and BuddyPress will eventually have something similar.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Categories are basically just forums you can’t post to. This mirrors existing bbPress behavior, and not existing (other forum platform) behavior. This is mostly just a presentation issue, so if you figure out a way to make it do what other platforms do, drop a patch in Trac.

I don’t imagine it will difficult to make it do what you want, since it’s just opening and closing elements in the loop, but things will get confusing when nested and multiple child/sibling elements come into play. I remember this from my old phpBB days.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

What about deactivating and reactivating bbPress? It sounds like your caps aren’t being applied correctly.

To be clear, there are subscribers posting over at testbp.org/discussion perfectly fine, and it’s running exactly the same code you are. Your video was helpful, and it’s really odd that it’s happening for you like that.

What versions of WordPress are you using? I suppose it’s possible it’s a WordPress 3.1 issue, since I’ve moved on to testing with WP3.2 the past two weeks or so. I’ll revert back to 3.1 and see if that changes anything.
