@Jaja..

The changelog can always be found in the readme.txt file in the plugin folder.

[AAShepAA]

It was a dumb mistake – but I thought I would post this if anyone is ever in my same spot.

This was very helpful:

http://perishablepress.com/quickly-disable-or-enable-all-wordpress-plugins-via-the-database/

However – since I had already turned all my plugins off I was out of luck for backing them up first!

What I did was phpmyadmin into one of my other sites running bbPress and copied its active_topics tab le contents – then pasted into the site that was not working. It was enough to get me back into admin and reactive my plugins.

[John James Jacoby]

This felt like a bug to me, either in bbPress or some other thing, so I created a ticket and fixed it right away for bbPress 2.1.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1887

Users with accounts should almost always have the ‘read’ capability. If they lost it somehow, it seems like it’s because something interfered with it.

You don’t get to change those links; they are created automatically by WordPress.

What version of WordPress are you using?

Firsh read this article: https://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

Need a child theme without code? This plugin can do for you: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-click-child-theme/

Now on child theme create a file call bbpress.php

Code example:

<?php

get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary">

<div id="content" role="main">

<?php the_post(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'bb' ); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

– Duplicate page.php on your theme and rename it to content-bb.php

– bbPress call content-bb.php so you can customize for anything you want!

Hope this help!

How are your permalinks setup in WordPress? Settings->Permalinks

[scottsimsa]

I have a clean WordPress install and the bbPress plugin.. I’ve created a new forum and topic.. But I want this forum to be my whole site.. Like I want my pages to be different pages of the forum.. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks!

Hi,

i plugged in bbpress to wordpress. i created some forums. i ve changed some of the slugs to my language. but i cant find a forum homepage to see all the forums.

for example

http://www.abcdef.com/forumlar/forum/bloglar/ with i can see one forum. but i cant see anything with

http://www.abcdef.com/forumlar/forum/ (says couldnt find it)

http://www.abcdef.com/forumlar/ (says nothing)

so what is the problem or that i am missing to do?

i use wordpress 3.4.1 with “pure line” theme

[5ngua]

In wordpress page setting “Include custom root slugs to prefix your forums and topics with. These can be partnered with WordPress pages to allow more flexibility.”

Now how I can do that with topics base Archive mysite.com/topics/ ?

Hi! If you click on the authors link, they never lead to the authors page, but to the homepage of the whole wordpress website. Is that a common problem?

[loicknuchel]

Hi, I’ve got the same problem :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84

My wordpress has 3.4.1–fr_FR version and I installed bbPress on version 2.0.3 with the extension manager. My theme is actually BlogoLife.

In addition, when I move to “bbPress (Twenty Ten)” theme, and only for this one, the warning change :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 357

Does anyone has an idea on this ?

[docchewbacca]

I’d like to install bbpress 2.1 RC2, but I currently have bbpress 2.0.3 running on my site.

What is the best way to install the beta version without breaking anything ? Upload the zip file via “add plugin” in WordPress admin panel ? Overwrite the old bbpress files via FTP ? Uninstall 2.0.3 then install 2.1 RC2 ? Other solution ?

[docchewbacca]

Not sure if it will fix your problem, but try this :

– go to settings > forums in your wordpress admin panel

– click “save changes”

John, I did some preliminary tests and the results aren’t looking good.

I left my comments on trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1885#comment:3

[John James Jacoby]

Yeah; the meta queries are really awful.

I think I’ve resolved the issue. You’re one of the first people to report back using bbPress 2.x at that scale, so I’d love some feedback on the change.

[rezaff]

I am new to wordpress but had it up and working fine.

I then installed bbpress per the instructions.

The installation seemed to go fine, but after trying to create a custom menu for the forums clicking on any link gives me the message:

“Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404″

I have tried deactivating and uninstalling bbpress but non of my links work any more.

Can anyone please help a newbie??

Thanks,

[vibol]

Thanks John. Is there anything I can do to help? My site build out has been on hold pending a fix for the slowness issue. If you have a preferred way of fixing it, perhaps I can help implement it.

Here were my original findings: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-202-sql_calc_found_rows-and-16mm-posts-painfully-slow

Edit: I’ve created a trac ticket for this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1885

The URLs do follow the same structure as WordPress, exactly actually.

Keep in mind that WordPress has never needed to have a mixed post-type URL structure, except for the case of attachments (which don’t really count.)

None of the words in the URL are ‘useless’ since they’re all indicative of where the content lives.

bbPress and WordPress are designed to allow those with specific needs and wants to customize the codebase, and contribute the changes they needed up-stream to the parent project. If this is something multiple people would like, I suggest you group up and build it. If it works, and more people want it, we absorb it into bbPress core.

Boom.

[John James Jacoby]

It doesn’t directly. I’m working on ways of addressing this for a quick 2.2 release.

[Lynq]

Are your topics and replies mixed into your wordpress posts?

What version of bbPress are you using?

[Lynq]

You could completely customize the login page with particular wordpress hooks so that it is effectively a login page.

Or you could try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-login/

[tyskkvinna]

I am wondering if there is a way I can export the forums (topics & replies) and isolate it from the rest of WordPress posts? I need to separate them and I’m finding it difficult.

Thanks!

[Henrylam]

Hi I am new to bbPress, I installed it last week, it was working fine.

But it is not working recently, I don’t even know since when, may be after I updated the bbPress Plugin to 2.0.3

All I want is just putting the [bbp-forum-index] in a WordPress page, so it can show all forum, topic and replies.

Now once I click to the forum that I have been set up, it don’t show any topic or replies.

Please see the page as below:

Hello,

This is my first time working with wordpress and bbpress so I am quite confused.

I understand that bbpress requires some tweaking in order for it to work with custom themes, but I really don’t know where to start. I’d be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

The website I’m working on is lightshow.me. I’d strongly prefer to stick with the current theme.

My goals for the website are simple:

-A video blog

-A clean forum where users can post and embed videos

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

[presspressperson]

I have to third this. As a standalone forum CMS it might have made sense, but as a wordpress plugin, it would be ideal if the URLs followed the same structure as wordpress pages (ex: domain.com/forums/actual-forum-name/actual-topic.

Adding extra useless words like /forums/forum/topic/here-is-the-only-part-that-matters is bad for SEO, web designers, admins, visitors, and everyone else.

Also, in case anyone is confused, we understand that you can remove the base from topics or change the words. This is not the point. Please re-read the original post.

“Special” indeed. “No! I promise I was sober when I created this website, sir!”

If there is any way to fix this I would be eager to hear about it. If I figure something out I’ll post it here. If anyone else has, please do the same.

Thanks.
