Hey everyone,

Unfortunately I’m having another minor hiccup in my bbPress 2.1 implementation. I’ve done some fairly heavy modifying of bbpress user profile pages, and somewhere along the line I have induced wordpress to flag profiles as error-404.

My site homepage is http://tamrielfoundry.com, which can be accessed using username=test and password=test.

My own user profile page http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/atropos/ works just fine, no 404.

A different user (who has not made any posts, which could be the cause) gets error-404 as a class in the body declaration. http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/blade/

Regardless, the fact that this content is getting flagged as 404 doesn’t seem to affect the page actually displaying the relevant content, however obviously it would be preferable if I can get the site to recognize user pages for existing users as non-404.

Let me know if I can provide any relevant info, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure I understand the problem. Spaces aren’t valid in URLs unless they are encoded.

[John James Jacoby]

You have enough conflicting slugs where I suspect only you can configure your way out of them.

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/groups/morb/forums/topic/actu-tutoc/page/2/ – Works fine if I navigate to it directly

Could be something with your theme, could be other plugins, or it could be a bug. You’re a bit on your own to narrow things down. I’d start with checking error logs and looking into why the page output stops on the broken links above.

Expanding my search to include all of WordPress resulted in this fine code I just plop in to my functions.php that’ll remove it:

function the_title_trim($title) {
// Might aswell make use of this function to escape attributes
$title = attribute_escape($title);
// What to find in the title
$findthese = array(
    '#Protected:#', // # is just the delimeter
    '#Private:#',
    '#Privat:#'
);
// What to replace it with
$replacewith = array(
    'a', // What to replace protected with
    'b' // What to replace private with
);
// Items replace by array key
$title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title);
return $title;

}
add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘the_title_trim’);

It’s a WordPress core issue, and one I’m not sure we can easily filter out. I’ll take another look at this for 2.2, but I think it’s hard-coded in.

problem 2 was solved by adding

#bbpress-forums div.reply {
height: auto;}

however the other problem is still not solved and I believe the style.css is missing files.

This is litteraly my whole css file

I am fairly new to web design but I have a feeling there must be more somewhere.

Does anyone know what code I could input to this file in order to fix problem one?

Also as a bonus could anyone give me a code that could work for changing the background of the forum colour?

I apologize for my “rookieness”

Thanks in advance!

[Ronileco]

Any new info about this one?
I am suffering from a similar problem where my pretty URL: http://www.mysite/forum/users/User Name/ doesn’t work but http://www.mysite/forum/users/userId/ works great.

How can i fix my permalink or should i change the code to use userID instead? maybe redirect through .htaccess file is the answer?

side wide forums here

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/forums

[newpress]

wordpress latest
buddypress latest
bbpress latest

I use bbpress for site wide forums and for buddypress group forums. It works fine. Didnt install buddypress’s tweaked version.

I set the number for both topics and replies at 5. But cant navigate to the rest of the topic list and replies.
here it is

Anything is possible, but you’ll currently need to write your own widget to make it happen. You’ll most likely want to strip out any formatting, and limit the length also (similar to a WordPress excerpt.)

If you’re able to make this happen and contribute your changes upstream, it would be a great addition to bbPress core for 2.2.

[John James Jacoby]

Hi. It’s been less than a day, on a weekend. I kindly ask that you please dial back your expectations.

That said, I can’t duplicate what you’re experiencing, and it would be a great help to have more information to assist you. What theme are you using? Did you customize it? What plugins are you using? Have you tried disabling them to see if there is a conflict?

Pagination, and adjusting the values, works fine. I’ve set them to ‘5’ at testbp.org so you can see for yourself:

[newpress]

Am I getting any help here?
this is a serious bug in the plugin that should be immediately addressed

[viktora]

Hi all. This evening I was just about to translate some pieces of BBpress into my native Czech lang. I am used to use Codestyling Localization plugin for translating plugins. This same I saw some strange warning. First time in my life.:-) Is here someone able to provide me with more details on following error message regarding bbpress?

Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that. (Codestyling Localization plug error message)

[John James Jacoby]

Jared was actually incorrect. 🙂

bbPress actions are piggy-backed on top of WordPress actions, there’s no condition to them.

1. If you don’t want bbPress to enqueue it’s own CSS, dequeue it, or make sure your theme has /css/bbpress.css in it.
2. bbPress uses admin-ajax.php for a few ajax bits that happen theme-side. They degrade properly, so if you do not want to include the ajax bits, you can safely unhook that too.

[Siobhan]

Mason and I started to come up with a task list after talking to John at WCNYC. Here’s what we came up with:

Setting up and running your forum
bbPress settings (I have some content for this somewhere – will add it as a draft)
Customizing how bbPress works
Useful plugins that extend bbPress
Moderating and managing your forum

We also had:
WordPress User Roles and bbPress
Getting Started with bbPress

They are complete though.

Since you guys are on the ground supporting bbPress users, what things in the docs would you like to see prioritized?

[Ramiuz]

But the forum is on a different database than my wordpress. So I can´t upgrade 1.02 to 2.1.

I´ve already installed BBpress 2.1 on the other database, on my website. But its completely empty. I need to import the data and users from the other forum.

How?

[newpress]

I set the number of topics and replies that should be shown in a single page as 2, 5, 6 and 10. It doesnt work that way. The rest is paginated and indicated in the page, but not navigatable. I am disappointed. Is there any work around?

[atomnet]

Thanks to all,
with this shortcode i see only my forum/post index and not internal post (image and text).
I try this [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id=name post] but with /%postname%/ dont works.

Thanks again.

[galynsky]

@selvakarthi
when I activate plagin, i can see name of forum (the same table name?), but nothing else.

@netweb
I use wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

wil try to find 1.1, 1.1 -> 2.1.
or rename bb_ tables to anothe prefics, maybe it helps.

[Stephen Edgar]

So…. I created a new clean phpBB install, imported the data into phppBB, installed WordPress & bbPress and imported from phpBB.

Everything looks fine to me…. I wish I could find something, we know there is something wrong!

I’ll have another look in the morning with a fresh par of eyes.

Thanks for persisting and trying to help us find the problem.

Cheers,

Stephen

Currently available shortcodes are list with a brief explanation of each:

[Anonymous User 5853594]

I think you can show the content of a single topic with the [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] shortcode in a post.
Haven’t tried how exactly that would work, but it might be what you’re looking for.

[atomnet]

The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

Yes 🙂

[Lynq]

Do you mean like one of the following?

In the sidebar a list of recent topics on bbPress.
A bbpress post inside the loop of your homepage posts.
The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

All the best, Lynq.

That’s exactly what I need. Ticket created:
