Hello, I am using the Tisa wp theme from Themify and although I had no trouble installing and adding forums, this theme seems to mandate that the individual forum widgets appear in the sidebar. As it is the sidebar is overloaded and I would much prefer to put it within a page on my website. Is there code I can embed on the page(s) somewhere? How can I do this?

Thanks,
Jackie

I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and I would like to display the latest questions (last 5 or 10 Qs) in my static homepage. There is a way to add some code to my template and display bbpress questions?

Thanks,

[sambedingfield]

Just updated to 2.2 and had a run around to make sure everything is still compatible with my theme, and all is perfect apart from the pagination on each users profile.

The permalink to numbered pages is /users/admin/page/2/ and returns a 404, when on this forum the permalink looks like /users/admin/topics/page/2/

I’m guessing that updating bbPress is not the cause, as my site is too new to know if it was previously working – but I’m very grateful if you can help put me in the right direction for a fix!

Thanks.

Now that bbPress 2.2 is out, please be sure to log any bugs you find that are specific to bbPress 2.2 on our bug tracker, setting the version to 2.2.

We’ll be keeping our eyes open for anything that requires quick fixing, while starting to plan out the dev cycle for bbPress 2.3.

Thanks y’all!

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed now. You can safely remove the last line of the file of bbpress.php manually if you’d like; the part that says:

exists check

That last line somehow got duplicated on Subversion export. The official logs here do not have that bit in it, just on WordPress.org. Sorry for the inconvenience y’all.

There is a moderation plugin called bbPressModeration (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/).

It allows administrators to manually approve each post before it gets published to the website. But it doesn’t send an email notification to the poster.

[John James Jacoby]

I added a filter called ‘bbp_verify_nonce_request_url’ in to bbPress 2.2 address this.

@hypnoscribe – Please don’t post big code dumps; it’s not easy to read and easily accessible by linking to your site, a pastebin, or any other place.

@netweb – If you’re going to answer questions, make sure they’re the correct answers. 🙂

Looking just a bit deeper in Inspector, you’ll notice the CSS isn’t part of WordPress or bbPress. Like @nguyenkinh said, this is a problem with the CSS in your theme.

[Verra]

Hi guy! I FIXED IT, be in heaven again.
Here’s my solution, as I said before, it’s about your theme. You should browse to your WordPress theme folder, open the style.css and if your problem are the same as mine you should find some code like this:
.reply {
margin: 10px 20px 0 0;
text-align: left;
text-transform: none;
font-size: 12px;
position: relative;
height: 25px
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
right: -20px;
}
Now you just simply put 2 lines
height: 25px
overflow: hidden;
in the comment or just delete it, cause I found in bbpress.css there is the id name reply, it was overide by WordPress.
If you need more details, email me.

Hi Keymaster,

can you give us a rough estimate, when 2.2 will be released?

[SK]

Ok, so how do I set Hungarian language for bbPress when my WordPress is a multilingual installation with WPML?

[zaerl]

Hi. The wordpress gettext template file is bbp-languages/bbpress.pot. You have to use a specific program for translating the strings. I use POEdit cause it works on all my machines.

http://www.poedit.net/download.php

Open POEdit and “create a file from template” on the “file” menu. There are a lot of strings taken out of the context and so I suggest you to check the source file line if you have problems.

Building a dictionary from widely used translations (WordPress/Akismet/Others) can speed up the process cause a lot of strings are the same of WordPress.

[John James Jacoby]

I’d hold off, as bbPress 2.2 will address this specifically.

[nyks-barton]

Looks perfect. As I only want to give Editors the forum-moderation, I think, I only have to add the first part of the code.

A small hint: as I understand the code, there the code-comment in the 2nd part i incorrect:s
$role = get_role( ‘author’ ); // gets the editor role
It gets the author-role, isnt it?

hi thank you for the quick response, helps a lot when you are trying to work your way through a problem. I must first say though I am new to this wordpress php bbpress thing.

SO you mentioned I use bbpress-functions.php? Can you be more specific I know you already are but I would like to know the exact steps to take if you will.

I know changing the following code in bbpress.php for the plugins>bbpress file. but if I change this than the updates will delete the changes I make so therefore I need to make a child theme. So where do I paste the following code in bbpress-functions.php?

public static function register_post_types() {

// Define local variable(s)
$post_type = array();

/** Forums ************************************************************/

// Forum labels
$post_type[‘labels’] = array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Enchanted’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘menu_name’ => __( ‘Enchanted’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘singular_name’ => __( ‘Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘all_items’ => __( ‘All Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘add_new’ => __( ‘New Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘add_new_item’ => __( ‘Create New Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘edit’ => __( ‘Edit’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘edit_item’ => __( ‘Edit Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘new_item’ => __( ‘New Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘view’ => __( ‘View Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘view_item’ => __( ‘View Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘search_items’ => __( ‘Search Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘not_found’ => __( ‘No forums found’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘not_found_in_trash’ => __( ‘No forums found in Trash’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘parent_item_colon’ => __( ‘Parent Forum:’, ‘bbpress’ )
);

I installed bbPress 2.1.3 on my WordPress 3.4.2 installation and I am having the problem that user profiles do not work. Whenever I hover over the name profile I can see that the URL points to domain.com/forums/user/admin but when I click on it I am returned straight to my blog’s homepage, but with domain.com/forums/user/admin in my browser’s URL line.

Others had related problems too, as I found in this forum, but they were slightly different, and none of the fixes suggested in these other threads helped.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Thank you for any ideas or leads,
Guido

Hi, funny thing is I currently want to add sidebar for my bbpress forum plugin. It alway shows the wordpress sidebar!

Anyway, to remove sidebar use the fullwidth forum like this: http://www.ytecongcong.com/forums/
Just follow
1. Clone page.php of your WP themes and rename it to forum.php
2. use BP Tweaks WP plugins to choose forum instead of page as default
3. Open forum.php, remove the php code content php get_sidebar()

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress and set up a test forum.

When viewing the forum it show me a nice full-width page without sidebar, but when I click on a topic, bbpress redirects me to a full-width forum page with the sidebar under the forum (while it shouldn’t show up).

Has anyone an idea how I can fix this?

How it should be: http://www.gebetendoorhonden.be/forum/

sidebar showing (wrong): http://www.gebetendoorhonden.be/forums/forum/te-koop-aangeboden

btw: this also happens with standard wordpress-themes (twenty-ten). I select full-width page and when clicking on topics I get redirected to page with sidebar!?

Dear regards,
Bart

You can also use this plugin to assign the forum participant role to all users across a multisite network.

[Erlend]

@masada there is already a fully functional “unread posts” plugin on wordpress.org, and a new one coming from a developer that I know (it approaches the problem a bit differently, so it is its own plugin instead of an extension of “Mark as Read”) should be out in a couple of days.

[Stephen Edgar]

Start by finding a WordPress theme and then you can customize bbPress to look the same as your WordPress theme https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Hello! I just want to first thank everyone for this great plugin forum.

I have enabled “Enable Fancy Editor” in settings > forums , however my tinymce editor does not show. I simply see the generic HTML editor. Is there a known fix for this problem?

I’m using the default wordpress twenty eleven theme. Thanks!

[Olivier Lettinga]

I would like use the TwentyTen bbpress theme(or even rather a theme with lists instead of tables) and customize it for my own use.

The advised way to do this: ‘making a copy of the plugins\bbpress\bbp-themes\bbp-twentyten folder and copying it to themes\mytheme’ works.
This however makes a huge mess of my child theme folder, instead I would rather copy it to ‘themes\mytheme\subfolder’. Is this possible and how to I accomplish this?

Using WordPress: 3.4.2 and buddyPress: 1.6.1 and bbPress: 2.1.3.

[sourpatch]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me please if you can modify bbpress.php file and incorporate it into a child theme in the wordpress themes folder.
I tried making a bbpress.php in my child theme folder and the result was a blank screen. It did not work.
Your advice is appreciated!

I’m using the twenty ten wordpress theme and installed the bbpress plugin

[HululusLabs]

I installed wordpress and the bbpress plugin from built-in plugin installer and made a forum which I previewed , which was fine during preview, but after I published it, the forum returns HTTP error 404 on the forum itself and when viewing the preview. This is my second installation with the same problem. A forum on my previous install showed up after a while, but the others didn’t. After following advice I changed the permalinks back to default and all the forums came with the same HTTP error 404. My website structure is “…com/worpress/index.php/forums/forum/…” for some reason.
