I am having exactly the same problem! I’m amazed at the lack of clarity around getting BBPress to work with WordPress.

Oh no wait… I’m not.

Hope someone who knows can post something useful in here.

Cheers

No I said I managed to get it to work. How ever when visiting the page with the topic or forum its a WordPress page. When NOT using that code snippit i got the 404 page

I don’t understand your sticky post on how to make a theme (I am assuming WordPress themes can be created into) compatibility with bbpress.

for what I understand of that sticky since I am the author of my theme I go into the bbpress default theme and copy all the files out of there and paste them into my theme. This would over ride things like my css, functions and possibly other files. what would you suggest to do to get around this (instead of creating a child theme).

So here is what I did – as I read the sticky like 10 times:

I copied all the files, except for the style and the functions.php and pasted them into my theme. these are the files from the from the bbpress default theme and pasted into my current wordpress theme. I then added the php code snipit to my functions.php like the sticky states. I then activated it (the theme) and went to where the forums should be. I am now getting 404 errors.

ideas?

[Adam]

I was confused by the sticky hence why I asked. Also so since I didnt do that and this is a wordpress theme how would I make it so that bbpress seamlessly integrates with it? if possibly? because with out this line I get 404 pages when going to the forum section…

[Adam]

I have a single install of bbpress, no other plugins and i am using a theme in which I placed: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); in the functions.php file. When creating a forum and testing it out I am taken toa page where I get a 404 error….

this theme is a wordpress theme. I managed to get it to work….No not really. the forums do not seem to work properly with ordinary wordpress themes. is there no smooth integration between the two?

Alright, marking this as done.

Latest round of commits fixes everything, including pagination. Enjoy Genesis goodness.

I need a lot of help. I installed bbPress, and figured it would ask me configuration during the process… it did not.

I have 2 problems:

1) I dont know how to set up a link in my menu bar for my forum.

2) I assumed it would ask me where I want to forums to exist to the outside world. I want them at http://www.mysite.com/forums. but I have no clue where it stuck them.

the mysite.com is running wordpress right on it. A lot of the helpo I have found involves editing PHP code. While im a net geek I cant read PHP greek speak.

Its a freash install so I dont need to worry about breaking thread links and the likes. Please help.

[Jared Atchison]

Patch update. Still needs testers

@WebEndev:

I am so sorry for you! I hope I could help you out soon. I got mine working with Jared’s plugin patch – I just experimentet with his code line for the layout option and have all working like I want it.

My above report you quoted was regarding the patch from John for bbPress core which was not working at that time (or the last time I tested it a few days ago…). So I am sorry if you got confused because of my report…

Please have also a look here and especially for Nathan’s posts:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622

I hope this helps a bit right now. I am knee deep in important client work and might get back later here on…

Not understanding this….. (bbpress 2.0 rc4)

1) I installed the plugin.

2) I don’t have twenty ten installed and I got the error “bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.” This should be updated to use the latest version of WordPress theme 2011

3) Installed twenty 10

4) returned to themes.

5)bbpress theme is not showing its preview .png file most themes show.

6) Activating bbpress theme gives me:

Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.

-> NOTHING was touched or changed. All I did was install bbpress plugin and install the twenty ten theme.

So I thought, what the hell lets create a forum and go to it:

1) forums

2) new forums

3) new: Test

4) Publish

5) view ->

This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.

What am I doing wrong? Why is this not working at all?

Gday

sorry i am so lost not sure if i post this here? im trying to use the bbpress to create a water, sanitation and hygiene forum in the Solomon Islands.

i have trawled through this forum and the web but no luck. Internet is really slow here so it takes me literally hours!

I had a blog at .org (http://barefootengineer.wordpress.com/) So I transferred my blog over and installed the bbpress plugin. I am not confident to do the theme thingo with the .css and child theme so am using the stock bbpress theme. what i want to do is make it single column. i can do it with the home page/about. but when i do it for the blog and forum i get a sidebar with widgets. i have disabled these but they still appear? i moved the other widgets down the bottom and they work okay.

1. how do i make the blog single column. (or is there any bbpress compatible themes with wide single column?)

2. how do i get rid of these widgets? (search, archives, meta) they aren’t in the appearance panel?

Bug created at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1631 with screen shots … apologies for switching WP accounts on everybody. I’ll start looking into this and submit a patch for review when I can!

[Adam]

I would do the codex as Jquery did their documentation IMO, wordpress pages/posts. Easy to set up, easy to edit and change, and allows for people to comment saying what changed, how to use or provide feed back.

Gets the community involved. Thats how I do documentation for ruby based projects.

Any ways,

can you explain (since I am not testing this plugin till its 2.0) finished, how we will set it up for multi site to only use with ONE site? will it be done via the dash board?

[Recon2]

I’m trying to make a really simple install of bbPress 2.0. I am using modified bbp-twentyten theme files with my WordPress theme. I have disabled topic favorites and subscriptions and would now like to disable all the user profile pages.

I realise that this will make it impossible for users to quickly review all the posts from a particular user, but this isn’t important to me. How can I remove this functionality — or at least remove the profile link every time a username is displayed?

I hope there’s an easy way to do this

Use Avatar Upload plugin and then go here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-photo-front-end-upload?replies=17#post-2226189

[zaerl]

Tell them to change the avatars on gravatar.com.

[Escalibor]

To make the page wider for the forum I put the following code in my themes page.php:

<?php if ( strpos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], ‘forum’)) {

?>

<div class=”art-content” style=”width: 800px; margin-left: 99px;”>

<?php

}

else {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’);

?>

<div class=”art-content”>

<?php

}

this just looks for the string “forum” in the url, and if found styles the content such that it is 800px wide. Otherwise, it just uses the default width. It works, but may not be the best solution. Any other thoughts?

I installed the BBpress plugin into my WordPress install without any issues except one… Can someone tell me how I can let users of the forum update their Avatars? I’ve tried a number of plugins with no luck so far. Any suggestions?

When you delete a user from the WordPress administration panel, there is an option to either delete all of the users’ posts or switch their author to some other option. You can use the former option to remove spammer users’ posts.

[Gautam Gupta]

Tushar, I’d really appreciate if you could create a new topic for your issue and also post the problem you’re facing while installing bbPress 2.0 on WordPress. Thanks!

[rcokyj86]

Can any one help me for the installation of bbpress on wordpress.

Tushar

[KRCSC]

Got the same problem, see here: http://www.krcsc.co.uk

It’s very annoying – have tried changing this (below) in loop-single-forum.php and a couple of other files:

<?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 100 ) ); ?>

But it hasn’t worked.

I’m using the User Photo plugin in WordPress which has thrown up another problem in that I now have three different sizes of avatars/gravatars/user photos – 14px, 80px and 100px. I’d prefer for them all to be 80px but to be honest just want them all the same size.

Also, does anyone know how I can centre them in the table in the main forum and tops pages??? For the life of me I can’t.

Can anyone help?

I have used this plugin for my bbpress which was integrated along with wordpress MU, and it worked perfectly.

[jomontvm]

@catlawsonNHS

Yes, this plugin is for the standalone bbpress, not for wordpress.

Sorry for the late response as I was concentrating completely on some other things.
