Thanks – been looking for that answer myself 🙂
Hi there,
I’ve got a forum that doesn’t show, I believe it is a theme issue as default wordpress theme works okay, I’m running ExtremeSport 2.0 from http://smthemes.com/ ( http://smthemes.com/extremesport/ )
It worked okay with 2.2.4 I’m not sure where to start looking for the issue (I’m a c# developer by trade 🙂 ).
Hi all,
I am not quite sure which forum to post this in as I am new to using BBPress for my wordpress installations. I am trying to customize my BBPress installation with the avatar display. I would like to have the avatars only show for the posts inside the topic. They are currently showing up on the forum index, etc. and I am having trouble trying to track down where in the .php files these settings may be located. Can anyone give me some help? I’m looking to just turn these off if possible.
I have posted some photos linking illustrating what i am talking about.
BBPress
bbpress 2.3
Wordpress 3.5.1
Theme is Pure from Themeloom
Can anyone help me with sizing of navigation tabs?
Using:Â WordPress 3.5.1, BuddyPress 1.7, Montezuma (Bytesforall) theme. Difficult to ‘just switch’ to Twenty Ten / Twenty Eleven as it’s a ‘presentation’ problem.
I’m trying to resize BP navigation tabs to match others I’m using – see this example. As you can see, I’m managing to resize the ‘sub menu’ navigation, but not the ‘top level’ … even though they’re using (as far as I can ascertain) exactly the same CSS classes, ID, etc.
I’ve played with CSS in the Montezuma theme, in BP Template plugin, and in ‘default.css’ in the main BP plugin. Can anyone suggest where I should be looking? Driving me mad that I can’t crack what should be such a simple thing!
I can confirm that the fix identified by @premitheme for MAMP (free) installations is to switch over to port 80. You may also need to update the WordPress and site address under General Settings if 8888 is part of your previous installation.
He he well good luck indeed! Are you doing all of the real estate functionality from scratch or will you be building the theme to support a plugin like WP Property?
2 weeks is fine, that’ll give me time to work more on mockups and such.
We’ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.
Unfortunately this is still an issue, and I’ve reopened the relevant ticket:

hello,
i make update from 2.24 to 2.3 and now i have only titles of forums, when i try to display topics i have only this message “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”.
i can create topics and reply and i can see them in admin dashboard but impossible to read them in wordpress after i made upgrade to 2.3 version.
Is it possible to come back to 2.24 version?
thanks,
philippe
The actual export file filename.xml is just a structured flat file format so you should be able to have a look inside that and confirm if the actual ‘topics’ are included in the file itself.
This would make sure you know that the export is correctly exporting everything you expect and then if that is correct then start diagnosing why the topics are not importing.
HI Stephen,
Yes I was using the WordPress export tool.
I have both tried exporting ‘All Content’ and forums, topics and replies individually. (The second only twice as its rather tedious manually mapping the users to their posts).
I have also checked the state before the repair tools, and then I have run them. Both end with out success.
Is there any thing else you could suggest?
Matt
No, bbPress does NOT use comments for replies, bbPress replies, topics and forums use WordPress Custom Post Types.
Okay, not sure if this is the reason, but after your last reply a searched a little bit, found this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2070 and started to think that it’s a problem in the URL.
The only difference between XAMPP and MAMP (free) is that XAMPP uses “localhost” host name, while MAMP (free) uses “localhost:8888” when using MAMP ports by default (MAMP pro uses “localhost” that tell why it works OK with you). So I went to MAMP preferences and changed the ports settings to use default Apache and MySQL ports to use “localhost” instead of “localhost:8888”, and finally posting topics and replies is available again 🙂
Even better I setup a virtual hostname manually in MAMP (free) and the everything works fine.
I hope this will help others with the same issue with MAMP (free). Thanks for your time @johnjamesjacoby and @netweb, great work and keep it up.
Jump back in time to bbPress 2.1 Twenty Ten templates, they specifically used tables for forums, topics & replies. You want to have a close look at the loop-*.php templates.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress
I don’t know of any bbPress specific plugin that can do this but there might be one that does something similar for standard WordPress Users/Subscribers/Authors etc.
I suggest having a search of WordPress Extend and if your in luck such a plugin may exist and may even work with bbPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
How about I close this topic and we can keep it all in this single topic 😉
Moving to a new WordPress site
I presume you are meaning the built in WordPress Export tool /wp-admin/export.php
I presume you are you exporting ‘All Content’ rather than forums, topics, replies individually?
After you have performed the import do you run the bbPress’ repair tools?
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/capabilities.php
Thanks for the kind words. WordPress core doesn’t need a ton of work in this regard; a few small fixes would go a long way.
@earthman100 If you just want to map them manually you can do this from the WordPress ‘Users’ admin panel though you need to be using bbPress 2.3.
If you create the user, it doesn’t assign them a role right away. They’ll get role mapped once they login to the site, or once you assign them a role.
In theory, but in a site using iMember360 and Infusionsoft, the user creation bypasses the standard WordPress hooks. So does logging in. Which leaves me with users who are subscribers but do not get a “Participant” role.
I have been looking for documentation for how you are “mappping” them to a role as you mention, but can’t find any. Where are the roles stored now, please, and do you have an easy function I can call on a different hook so I can “map” them manually, please?
I moved your topic to a new thread as it isn’t related to the one you replied to.

i am using Version 2.3

i am also using wordpress
Version 3.5.1
What happens if you try a normal WordPress theme (twentyten, twentyeleven, twentytwelve?)
Something tells me a plugin or your theme is filtering the topics query, resulting in it returning 0 results.
I am running the latest BBPress 2.3 and I don’t see any link for the user to be able to update their profile (i.e. avatar, signature, password, etc.). So, I want to be able to put a hyperlink in the menu or somewhere else on my wordpress site that allows the user to access this page. I have found it to reside in http://www.domain.com/forums/users/nameofuser
The problem is, I can’t figure out a way to call out the username in the url. I tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%s and that didn’t work. I am using permalinks and tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%username%/ and still nothing.
Someone please help, thank you!
This issue sounds semi-related to  related to ticket #1478, which was fixed in 2.3.
Upgrade to 2.3 (backup first!) and see if that fixes things.
You should see an ‘IMG’ link or Picture icon on your editor toolbar for adding links to images with bbPress 2.3.
Improved mobile support is planned for bbPress 2.4 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933
