What version of WordPress are you running? That error usually appears on WordPress 3.2 and older (current is WordPress 3.4.2)
Have you followed the Import Forums guide on the Codex? If so; where did you get stuck?
I’m running both on Multiple sites with no problems.
Is there anything with specific details in your PHP error logs?
Couldn’t you achieve this using bbPress’ shortcodes? Namely; [bbp-forum-index]
You can use the shortcode in the PHP template files with the do_shortcode() function.
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-topic-index]'); would do the trick.
Of course; there is a performance overhead involved with making WordPress parse the shortcode before displaying the content. Using WP_Query and creating a custom loop would be the ideal method, but it’s also much trickier.
In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings -> Permalinks and press the ‘Save Changes‘ button. (You don’t need to actually change anything, just re-save them)
bbPress is now a plugin for WordPress. That means that it doesn’t run without an install of WordPress.
As for the design; that’s entirely up to you. You can go with the default bbPress styles, use a WordPress theme that overrides them or apply your own CSS and make the forums totally original. I recommend having a good read of the bbPress 2.0+ documentation.
That’s not how it’s supposed to look.
The problem is; your bbp_forums <div> is wrapped with <pre></pre> tags which is completely breaking the layout.
I’ve made a side-by-side comparison of your site with & without the PRE tags. Click me.
This editor used on bbPress.org is essentially the same as the one that will appear by default. The only difference is the tabs have been changed into textual links and added to the toolbar.
I agree that an interface to hotlink (or upload) images would be a welcome addition. There are some good plugins that will give you this functionality, including bbPress Post Toolbar and GD bbPress Attachments.
An even easier way to call shortcodes is with the do_shortcode() method.
You can programmatically call the bbp-forum-index shortcode like this:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-forum-index]‘) ?>
Hi Lesego,
As a general rule, we strongly advise users not to modify core WordPress/bbPress files under any circumstances. There are a whole host of issues you could be causing.
I recommend taking a look at “Customizing the Login Form -> Make a Custom Login Page”
I fixed this issue by re-saving my permalinks.
You can also use this plugin to assign the forum participant role to all users across a multisite network.
Are you looking for email subscriptions or “feed” page?
Why don’t you just use the code from the snippet you have? Just replace the printf() that outputs the role name with an echo(‘<img src=..) to output your badge instead.
With all the time you spent bumping this topic and being a condescending prat; you could easily have learned the required single line of PHP.
Somewhere in your bbPress theme file there is an unneeded comma sitting between two quotation mark characters.
Remove ", " …and you should be good.
As for features; it really depends on what you’re looking for. GD bbPress Toolkit has some cool features; like attachments, signatures, custom views etc.
bbPress is a WordPress plugin. It doesn’t operate independently; so you will need to either create a second install of WordPress on the subdomain or create a WordPress network.
Sorry, ignore what I’ve written. I read this completely wrong.
(although it’s actually not a bad idea to reset WP_Query objects after their usefulness expires. wp_reset_query() is the better way of doing it, but all that does is call wp_reset_postdata, so my point is moot.)
Have you tried setting the_query objects to null after each loop?
There are a few plugins that let you do this. Try GD bbPress Attachment
Akismet does work fairly well. It has a 94% success rate on my website.
Are you using any caching plugins? I accidentally forgot to ignore my forum pages once and it caused this exact problem.
