Hey Guys,

Looking for why this is…..

I wonder why bbPress Topics / Replies don’t show up in a normal site search using the WordPress Search function?

I’d have thought (probably wrongly) that since bbPress uses Custom Post Types that it’s content would be a part of core Search.

Any isn’t this the case?

[John James Jacoby]

What version of WordPress are you using? I suspect something in your theme is attempting to access a $post variable that’s been unset as part of bbPress attempting to work its magic.

You can tell that it’s using the page template, since you have some hard-coded author information in there. It’s probably something in your theme that’s trying to access something that no longer exists.

Contact your web host and see if they use “qmail” to handle the email on their servers.

Thanks, so i can copy and past style.css into my wordpress theme css file?

Regards,

Pete.

[kikac_nngk]

wp-content –> plugins –> bbpress –> bb-themes –> bb-twenty-ten –> style.css

But i think you need a child theme, if you want to modify it.

Otherwise with your next bbpress upgrade, your components in the file will be replaced or removed

using the short code [bbp-forum-index] on a page in wordpress and for some reason it show 3 of our 4 forums and duplicates one of them. We have 4 forums (For Sale, For Rent, Rules, General) and when you load the page that has the short code [bbp-forum-index] you see (For Sale, For Rent, Rules, For Sale). I have tried deleting all forums and recreating and still get the same error. However, if you go to the system created page http://sitte.name/Forums you see the correct listing. I would use that as the forum start except I do not know where I can edit that page and its Page Name always shows the last forum created instead of ‘members forum’. Anyone seen this before? I have tried searching the forums for this condition but have not had any luck. Thanks in Advance

[peter avey]

I can’t seem to find the BBpress css file either

Hi Guys,

This is the first time I’ve used BBPress. I’m looking at using the original twenty ten theme http://cl.ly/1Q1Z3q1i3T091N272u0K on my custom wordpress theme http://cl.ly/1F3f382h3v1X0k0N1s2n

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have two sites on my wordpress network, http://www.pigsfeetproductions.com and http://www.crashedgamers.com. These two sites share the same database, but are hosted on two different servers. I want their forums to be integrated (ie when I post on pigsfeetproductions’s forums, it will automatically appear on the crashedgamers one and I want the users to be the same too if you wouldn’t mind helping me there too). Can anyone help me set this up? I have a decent understanding of the basics of bbpress, wordpress, and mySQL databases, but I just can’t figure out how to get this to work the way I want it to. All help is great appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

I have been trying to configure the forums and topics for a newly installed instance of wordpress/bbforums (2.02). they worked for a while, and I have been futzing around in the dashboard changing themes and layout etc and now, while all the forums and topics are still showing on the respective admin-page (for preview | edit | trash etc) , when clicked on to look at, I get this:

==================================

The requested URL /forums/topic/oxford-instruments/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

===================================

— The admin panes still thinks they are there. And via Admin panel I can go create new forums and topics. and they will show up on my forums list-widget ont he home page but still result in that same 404. Any help?

Last week I finished the conversion of my Forum from bbpress1.02 to the WordPress BBpress2.0 plugin. The forum is quite big (about 3.000 users, 9.000 topics and 130.000 posts), so I was very happy evering went fine. But now my users are complaining because some functions they had before, now are missing.

Most requests I get are about unread posts:

I would like to mark the uread post for each user, like the “Show Unread Posts” plugin for BBpress 1.02. As far as I know there is no BBpress2.0 plugin.

Does anybody know if there are plans to make such a plugin. Or how to fix this in another way?

[wout_m]

Do you have active the bbpress anti spam plugin?

I found out that, in my case, the problem was caused by that plugin and

I have solved it by turning off the bbpress anti spam plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-antispam/)

[Havardo]

I have spent hours looking through new and older posts on related topic and tried different approaches, including using the “Members” and “User Role Editor” plugins. This is related to the WordPress bbPress plugin.

I understand that changing the forum visibility forth and back is risky, so I have avoided that. I have only a limited amount of other plugins installed.

I am not going to list all the issues I have had, but instead hope that someone (if any) who has this up and running can reveal the secret.

Here is what I try to acheive:

Some forums should only be available to some users. My plan is to have two users, “Forum Participant” and “Forum Customer”. “Forum Participant” is default, and some users will manually be upgraded to “Forum Customers”. Some forums should only be visible to “Forum Customers”.

Any comments would be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately I don’t know of a plugin that does that for bbPress 2.x.

I am aware of this one https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/ however it also requires BuddyPress.

[Jared Atchison]

My apologizes – I gave you the wrong link (the the non-plugin version of bbPress).

Here is the correct one:

Hi all.

Setting up a wordpress site for someone and I’ve decided to use bbpress for a particular section as it seems best fitting for what we need.

I simply want the forums to be for members only, for example a page simply stating ‘you must register blah blah..’ would be fine.

Is there an hidden admin panel for bbpress I’m not seeing? All I am aware of is /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

I felt I’d just post a new thread as most things I came across were > a year old. I read the newer versions work much improved out of the box than before, so hopefully this is pretty easy.

Thanks,

[SethV2]

I have installed BuddyPress on a new WordPress site because I want to replace my current forum site with something like this one. I installed bbpress from the BuddyPress>Components page and installed the site wide forums plugin. It tells me the most current version is installed anyways. When I go to the “forums” page, I simply have an edit link to create it. I can preview a forum I created, but when I try to move up in the hierarchy to the Home>Forums page, again I am just given an edit button link. I believe the “Forums” page is supposed to automatically created from what I have read on here already. I also tried to reset my permalinks, and that didn’t make a difference. I tried resetting my theme to twentyeleven, the default buddypress theme, and a third theme. I’m guessing I’m just missing a simply step because obviously this plugin works for most everyone else.

[katmmad]

Actually, no, it doesn’t — first 4 folders are bb-admin, bb-includes, bb-plugins, and bb-templates, followed by a ton of un-foldered PHP files. It matches where I downloaded it, from this page:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

Did I download the standalone and not the plugin? (To back up a bit: I’m trying to integrate bbPress and Buddypress with an already existing WordPress site.)

[unholyfruitbat]

Okay, last series of questions for a bit.

How do I properly install 2.1 into a developmental BuddyPress site? I want to launch a site with everything, WordPress, Buddypress, and bbPress has to offer. Today I run a site that is based on Vanilla Forums (grumble) and another site that is phpBB.

The reason I ask so much about video and images is because these sites are based around music so with music you have a ton of photos of performances and video. I’d like to make it as easy as possible for users to share these media types in Forum posts since that is today where they classically have shared them.

Does this seem like a sound(pun?) approach or am I missing something?

[katmmad]

OK — I did all that and can see the plugins/bbpress folder in Filezilla. The problem is, I can’t see it in the “plugins” page on WordPress to activate it, and the site is otherwise not recognizing it (pages I had with shortcodes aren’t working).

Sigh. I’m testing it on wavychick.com, which is a dev site for my dev site, if that makes sense.

[Jared Atchison]

All the plugins on bbPress.org are for bbPress 1.0.

The plugins for bbPress 2.x go on WordPress.org.

Eventually the plugins listed here will be archived to help with the confusion

[Jared Atchison]

You can create an account without using your real identity, so I don’t think that should be an issue.

I *think* 2.1 is supposed to be a bit better with catching the spam.

Your main problem, like you said, is allowing guest posts.

Do you have akismet enabled?

Also I would use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/

This one works great with WordPress, not sure how it plays with bbPress but give it a try.
