bbpres uses gravatar as it’s photo system.

load you photo to gravatar and it will appear

I have a page on my site that explains this to users viz :

This site uses Gravatar to display avatars. if you already have a Gravatar account with your email for this site, then it will display on your forum posts; it can take a few hours before the link is established the first time.

What is an Avatar?
 When you post, you'll see the default avatar beside your name. You can change this to any image you wish (providing it's decent!).  Many people have a picture of themselves, or anything that represents your ego or character.

Changing from the default avatar.
The site uses Gravatar.  The Gravatar site stores you avatar against your email address.

This allows you to have a single image that many websites can use without you needing to add it or change it on each site.

Since this site knows your email address (through your profile), this site can pick up the avatar stored with Gravatar.

If you're not already signed up with Gravatar, then follow this link [https://en.gravatar.com/site/signup] to register your email address and avatar with them.  This site will then pick up that avatar and display it against your post. It can take a few hours before the link is established the first time.

Confused?
 Don't worry - if you're happy with the default avatar against your name, you need to do nothing further !

@angeliti – suggest you contact the plugin site – they claim to be bbpress compatible.

‘Could you please tell me the same as above check box for the bbpress registration form.’

I Haven’t used gravity forms myself, but if you are using the bbpress login widget , then you should be able to add a page called say “register” and then call the gravity form from within that, and add that url to the widget.

@1lizcollins

Don’t know why it happened. try Dashoboard>tools>forums.reapir forums and run one at a time to see of this fixes your links.

It could also be worth checkint that you haven’t got a plugin or theme issue, although neither would cause a plugin to disappear.

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

Check themes

If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

@adenslayer

This seems to be a known issue with this plugin viz :

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpsc-support-tickets-bbpress-conflict?replies=1

I see you’ve also posted to the plugin site, so hopefully the plugin author will come back to you.

‘Step 6 of the instructions reads:’

Sorry can you give me the link this text, I can’t immediately trace where this is written, and I’ll come back and help you further

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

yes you could probably that if it within your skill set.

Best wishes

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

great, glad you’re fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Can only suggest you try the following to see if they are causing issues

Check other plugins

Check themes

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, you could try just using a separate page for bbpress.

Create a file called bbpress.php in your theme folder

Add the following code to the bbpress.php file

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

If you need a sidebar add

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

before the footer line

See whether that works for you.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

On issue no. 1

the &#039 is the code for a quote mark ie the ones either side of this ‘word’

so something is displaying rather than interpreting this.

Not sure why, could ebe a plugin or theme issue

try

come back and let us know if that helped.

On your issue no. 2, bbp-foums class does the overall border

	.bbp-header, .bbp-forums   {
	
border-top: 1px solid #EEEEEE !important;
border-top-left-radius: 10px !important;
border-top-right-radius: 10px !important;
}

fixed it on my test site

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

I presume you’ve posted this to the buddypress site as well?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

“deactivating all plugins tangentially related to bbpress ”

The plugin conflict has nothing to do with whether the plugin is related to bbpress – any plugin can cause a conflict.

This is because conflicts are often with common variable names such as $user, where one plugin may set it to be x and the other uses it expecting it to be y.

Disable all plugins, and switching to a default theme proves that both wordpress and bbpress are correctly installed (ie not corrupt). From there you can add back themes and plugin to work out which is causing the conflict.

“There are a number of related threads about this issue on the forum but none have any real solutions provided.”

There are tens of thousands of plugins, and thousands of themes, and conflicts will occur with combinations of these. There is not one common problem here, the symptoms are the same but the causes many, so “real” solutions are individual. In the last few weeks solutions for many including a caching plugin and a theme have been posted.

Your problem is individual to you.

Try again with getting to a root cause by disabling all plugins and going to default theme, and come back if you still have a problem, we’ll try to help you to resolve this.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

you can add a modal login which looks prettier than the wp-admin

viz

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Greta, glad you’re ok now !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Ok, I see you also posted on their support page, which was going to be my next suggestion.

Since your code is on a local server, I obviously can’t take a look.

So now let’s try.

Create a file called bbpress.php in your theme folder

Add the following code to the bbpress.php file

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

If you need a sidebar add

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

before the footer line

See whether that works for you.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

There is no reason that you shouldn’t use the main theme APART from the danger that on an update of the theme you’ll lose the changes. But as you’ve done changes, you have that risk now with your existing changes, and hopefully have a note of them ! As long as you keep a copy of the functions file, you should be able to just add this code to the theme’s functions file at the end.

If that doesn’t work, come back, and I’ll cut the code into a plugin for you, but would prefer not to do that if I don’t have to (time!)

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, I think you might need to change a parameter.

Try the following filter in your functions file

function bbp_increase-forums-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 150 );
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'bbp_increase-forums-per-page' ); 

Come back and let us know if that worked.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, thanks.

No I don’t think that is possible with bbPress.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

tempapte-tags.php was renamed to just template.php

bbpress/includes/forums/template.php

However you should be able to use the following filter in your functions file, just amend the 100 to whatever you want
function bbp_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘posts_per_page’] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase-forum-per-page’ );

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

“The problem is, there is no template-tags.php”

It was renamed to just template.php

bbpress/includes/forums/template.php

function bbp_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {

    return $args;
}

@joceh78 – could you post the sql command you eventually used, so that someone searching this forum at a later date can see exactly how you fixed it.

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

try typing your url followed by wp-login.php into the address bar

eg

http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php

and then login and then logout

Then try the widget again

I have had similar issues on occasions, and to me it seems like wp-login gets itself confused as to whether you’re logged in or not. This seems to reset it.

Come back if that doesn’t work

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

s2 member plugin is used by a lot of people, but haven’t used it myself.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

‘I’m using the newest bbPress plugin as well as the updated version of WP 3.8.1. My site is novasev.com. You can see this issue by navigating to the Requests under Rainmeter forum and then the forum under NovaSev.com Administration.’

sorry couldn’t follow this as I can’t see how to get to the rainmeter forum from the menu.

Can you post two specific links and more detail on what is different in each
