Hello,

I’m a WP developer, and i tried recently to integrate the bbPress with a wordpress theme, and i can understand why there’s 3 post-types (forums + topics + replies ), why not just one post-type (topic) and forum can be just (taxonomy) related to this post-type and then replies are just normal comments (make the “topic” post-type support comments). that make a lot of thing mush easier.

– like comment/replies moderation.
– manage the forums (taxonnomies) easly.
– reduce the DB size and benefits from the taxonomies, posts, comments tables instead of push everything in posts table which is the largest table.
– and this make the bbPress super easy to integrates with themes. (its just post-type :)).

Is there a purpose from going on this complicated way ???
Anyway thank you for this great plugin, em truly appreciate this effort 😀

Great – keep looking – there must be a reason , and if not database, then next will be
checking plugins are the same (inc version)
wordpress is the same (inc version) and
theme is the same (inc version).
Then it would be either

file corruption, so re-installing all the above software.
or server issue, check server specific files, check same php, MySQL and other software versions.

but there must be a cause !

[Robin W]

ok, php version use different code see

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API

The widget can then be registered using the widgets_init hook: 

PHP 5.3+ only: 
add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
     register_widget( 'My_Widget' );
});

PHP 5.2+: 
add_action('widgets_init',
     create_function('', 'return register_widget("My_Widget");')
);

I’m using code for 5.3 + – so if your site is using earlier, you would need to amend the line.

@robin-w Thank you for your reply.

I want Bbpress always use /%post_id%/, without affecting wordpress set (Because my wordpress set to /%postname%/).

My situation is quite similar with aisajib. So bbpress must be set to /% post_id% /, but wordpress unaffected.

Sorry for my English, I hope you can understand what i mean.

‘I have the theme setup running on two domains, the one i use for testing, the funny thing is when posting on that site, the first post of the thread is shown.’

This would tend to suggest that something is different or not set the same. Are both on remote servers, or is one on a local PC running wamp or mamp?

Not showing a topic is a common symptom, but with many different causes, so there is no one solution.

There are a number of things you can try.

Resetting permalinks – sometimes fixes – in your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Repair Forums – Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forum and run one at a time.

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Let me know what works, I am using this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

[janfeng]

Wordpress use /%postname%/ and Bbpress use /%post_id% , how ?

[bidum00]

My forum page shows my forums correctly, but I want to make the column title say Tournaments instead of Forum. How do I make this change?

I’m using bbpress 2.5.3, wordpress 3.9.1

[Robin W]

You would need to cut some code, but basically you would be looking at

using some code from the widget to find the latest topic

then maybe using the shotcodes

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] – Display a single topic. eg. [bbp-single-topic id=4096]

and if it has a reply

[bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id] – Display a single reply eg. [bbp-single-reply id=32768]

using the do-shortcode function https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

If you do this, please post the result here for the benefit of others !

That is a little disappointing 🙁

If you look at the HybridCore 1.5.5 included with the Spine 2.0 theme there is full support for bbPress built into HybridCore and for whatever reason Spine is not taking advantage of that functionality.

I just downloaded Spine and tweaked the index.php and bbpress.php files so bbPress will work with your theme, I haven’t the time to fully test if ‘everything’ works but it looks like it does. Both files go in and replace any files of the same name in the root of your theme folder e.g. /wp-content/themes/spine.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/1d884eb7bb889906285d

You could also create a WordPress child theme to put them in which would be a little cleaner and save any pain during theme upgrades. I would expect themehybrid.com to have some tutorials on this so you can get some value for your $29 investment 😉

Hello,
To start with, I’m on bbPress 2.5.3 and WP 3.9.1
I currently display a list of topic titles (say 5) from a particular forum on my homepage using the bbPress Recent Topic widget that comes along with the installation.
I want to show the most recent topic from this forum and the first reply made to it on my homepage. Any thoughts or inputs will be helpful!

Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ll try to take a look at this this week, there are a couple of ‘gotchas’ when running bbPress in WordPress Multisite. I’ll try to document said findings on the codex and create/update any tickets on Trac.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, it might also be worth creating a topic on the themes forum to a) Hope for an answer and/or b) To add an answer if when you get it sorted.

Take a look at the following plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/ (You need to get an updated version of this via the support forums for this to work https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-vip-support-plugin)

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress is a 100% actively developed plugin and is compatible with a huge percentage of the ~2,500 themes on WordPress.org, I suggest you contact your themes support forum and ask for some advice on using bbPress with that theme.

I found a way to replace these damn widgets but am struggling getting it right.
Maybe if I point you guys towards the tools you can help me do it?
=> https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-wrangler/

That plugin can be used to create a custom query and then use it as a widget. You can select replies as post type and define a lot of stuff I just can’t seem to get it right.

Those queries you create can be exported so please share if you get it working.
Here is my thread in the wp.org forums: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-some-help-getting-this-right-1

[piratescott]

Try the Jetpack automatic mobile theme (if you use Jetpack in WordPress)

@morgensonne

Interesting – I’ve just deleted and re-downloaded the plugin from wordpress and it activated with no problems.

However I would be interested if your test server is a ‘local’ one using wamp or mamp? that might be the issue.

Please come back either way, and I’ll try and resolve for you.

Hello. I do not want to bother you with basics, however I tied Slovak and French translation and non of them worked.

I did everything according http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ and no translation appears.

I downloaded translation files (po and mo) from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x (bbpress-2.5.x-sk.mo, bbpress-2.5.x-sk.po), I moved the files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and rename it to bbpress-sk-SK.mo and bbpress-sk-SK.po (I also tried names bbpress-sk.mo and bbpress-sk.po).

What I did wrong?

I use WP 3.5.1. with bbpress 2.5.3. I use also polylang module. All translation Slovak, France … works just the translation of bbpress do not.

Just to identify the problem I tried to install your module to WP 3.8 clear installation (with out polyalang) and same result, that translation do not appears.

I believe that it works, since you jut few people ha problem wit translation (http://bbpress.org/forums/search/translation/) but I did everything according manual and it does not work for me.

Thank you.

Hi,

I recently installed bbpress onto a newly created wordpress website, I’ve read through loads of different forums on 404 errors but can’t seem to solve this:

When I click on any forum I have created the next page is a 404 page not found error.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The error can be seen here:

mk2.club/forums/

just click on the test forum

Thanks

Robin, Stephen, thanks for your messages. If have added a comment to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1937 with suggestions regarding performance issues and plugin compatibility.

[hamsterdj]

I’m having the same problem here. When user enters nickname and email address to register, they get redirected to the “default_site_domain/wp-signup.php“, where they have to re-enter everything. It’s very confusing for users wanting to participate on forums to say the least.

This situation also creates a problem for when a site with forum uses different language than the default site, as mentioned here.

Can one of the bbPress developers please give us some pointers, or at least tell us that this is not a common problem and we’ll have to figure out why this is happening on our own? We love bbPress and we’re hoping now to get some love back. 🙂

@jeffacubed Have you made any progress with this matter? I’m still researching…

Oh, and I’m running WordPress 3.9 Multisite, bbPress 2.5.3.

[Stephen Edgar]

Here is our ‘Official’ stance on the ‘Unread’ feature/functionality:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1937

The primary issue is performance, we have not seen a plugin that will work well for larger sites, if we implement this as a feature it must work for everyone who uses bbPress.

I just updated the list of ‘Unread’ type plugins I know of here:

Feature Plugins Tracking

[Stephen Edgar]

Set WP_DEBUG to false define('WP_DEBUG', false); in your wp-config.php file, this is a known issue.
