In reply to: Newest version of bbpress without bb-config.php?
Yup, feel free to pitch in at GlotPress
In reply to: Newest version of bbpress without bb-config.php?If you have wp-lang set in wp-config that should be enough
In reply to: Newest version of bbpress without bb-config.php?That is kindof what I am asking.
Are themes allowed to “support” bbPress and other custom pages?
In reply to: 2 forums on the same domainUmm…you could have 2 different instances running on 2 different subdomains. You can style them so that both look similar to your website.
Or you can just have the researcher forums set as private…instead of installing 2 different instances….
No. I meant providing, say, layout for bbPress pages….
Is it true about the new WordPress policy that says any support for Custom Post Types does not belong in themes?
Jared,
What is Genesis Framework? Is it available as a WP plugin? Can I keep using my current theme and for bbPress also use Genesis Framework and bbPress Genesis Extend?
In reply to: Forums not showing up?Ok, so your theme is doing something wonky.
In reply to: Forums not showing up?Try changing theme to TwentyEleven and see if bbPress still doesn’t work.
That’s a bit of a conundrum.
The author of the theme I use informs me that WP theme reviewers have recently instituted a new policy that any support for Custom Post Types does not belong in themes.
In reply to: Add some descriptive text – how?You can write a post and pin it to the top, like JJJ does on these forums (and is generally the accepted norm on most forums)
If you want the instructions to be upfront (and if they are short enough), you might want to try putting them in the description of a forum.
In reply to: Forum specific sidebarIn reply to: bbPress beta via WordPress plugin?I ended up overwriting my installed bbpress files with new ones via FTP. JJJ says you should delete all bbpress files and then write the new ones there.
In reply to: Subforum URL redirecting to homepageThere are no conflicts.
Also went to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks and hit Save.
For some strange reason only subforums are behaving badly.
www.domain.com/forum/f/forum-name/subforum-namereturns 404.I tried monkeyman’s rewrite analyzer and have been told that the rewrite rule is working; something else is in the way.
I tried putting
print(debug_backtrace());afterfunction set_404() {inwp-includes/query.phpbut did not get any intelligible debug information…all that happens is: a single word Array gets prefixed to the top of the 404 page.I have also discovered that in the database, in the table
wp_poststhe value stored in columnguidfor these subforums is http://www.domain.com/forum/f/subforum-name i.e. without the parent forum’s slug.If I try to visit
www.domain.com/forum/f/subforum-namethen I do get to the subforum page. Funnily enough, the breadcrumbs on that page depict the correct path including the parent forum.Curiously, when I create a new subforum, the
guidfield for it iswww.domain.com/?post_type=forum&#XXX;p=YYYYIf I try to follow that URL, I end up at forums base.I should point out that this messed up parent-child relationship is only occuring for bbPress…I have many hierarchical pages in WP, and they all seem fine.
In reply to: Subforum URL redirecting to homepageActually, user profile link is misbehaving similarly.
In reply to: bbPress beta via WordPress plugin?Having trouble installing 3786.
Extracted everything. Renamed plugin to bbpress. Put bbpress in zip archive bbpress.zip
From WP Admin > Plugins > Add New > Upload
Selected bbpress.zip
Selected Yes from “update existing plugin” dropdown (I am using Easy theme and plugin updgrades https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/ )
Clicked upload.
Getting this message:
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Destination folder already exists. ...../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/
Plugin install failed.Please help!
In reply to: Plugin request: Clip quotesIn reply to: 2.1 release dateGood deal
In reply to: Best SEO Plugin?Yoast looks pretty good. And he works hard at compatibility with other plugins. Give it a go (there’s an import tool for All-in-One SEO)
Umm…except that the usernames (in frontend only) appear as imported_username instead of username. Anyone know the fix?
Actually, I take that back.
If you click on “Activate Plugin” immediately upon installation from the Add New Plugin area, the plugin does throw up the error
The plugin does not have a valid header.
However, if I later to to installed plugins, and then click “Activate”, then I am able to activate and use the plugin.
I am also happy to report that I was able to successfully convert a phpBB 3.0.9 forum. It’s not perfect…I need to fix a few things here or there, but it is good enough…as good as can be expected from a general-purpose automated converter.
@JJJ: Which version are you trying?
I am using the latest version of WordPress 3.3.1
I have tried both bbPress 2.0 and 2.0.2
I installed bbConverter through WP’s admin panel so the plugin version is 1.3
When I click Activate immediately upon installation, I get
The plugin does not have a valid header.
Does not install.
The plugin does not have a valid header.
In reply to: Using BBPress on a Thematic Child Themebbpress should already match your site’s look and feel if you have installed bbPress plugin for WordPress. bbPress ships with a TwentyTen child theme which is used to lay out the bbPress pages within the wrapper of your active theme (if the active theme is not already bbPress-supporting)
