Is there no way to do this? Seems like it’s something people would want. Easily make a custom menu with all of your forums to use in widget.

Unfortunately I never got this sorted out because no one responded within the time of my deadline. So I deleted the entire standalone installation off my server and installed a fresh instance of WordPress. Then I installed/activated bbPress within the Admin panel of WordPress. At this point, I uploaded the bb-blueSands theme to my themes directory in WordPress. Nothing changed, it still looks exactly like “TwentyTen”. When I try to activate the new theme, it errors, “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template…template is missing.” I don’t understand how to properly activate a bbPress Theme so i can actually use this as a real forum module.

Hi,

I’m trying to import an existing vBulletin 4.2 based forum. The IP is correct, so are database name, user name and password. However all the importer says is “No users to import”, “No threads to import” etc.

I’m running latest stable versions of WordPress and bbPress.

Any clues? Thanks!

I’m trying to change the pagination to Next and Prev

In plugins -> bbpress -> bbp-includes.php -> bbp-reply-template.php

I have found that you can replace
‘prev_text’ => ‘←’,
‘next_text’ => ‘→’,
with
‘prev_text’ => ‘Prev;’,
‘next_text’ => ‘Next’,

I know you’re not meant to hack the core, so how do I do this in my own theme?

Using WordPress 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2 and my forums are a current work-in-progress at http://netballscoop.com/forums/

[business31]

Someone please help!! I have wordpress 3.41 and I updated my buddypress to 1.6. When I did this its messing with my other widgets!! They will not move, but when I de-active the buddypress 1.6 plugin then my other widgets starts to work. Im also getting this message in the back office as well: Don’t worry! We’ve moved the BuddyPress options into more convenient and easier to find locations. You’re seeing this page because you are running a legacy BuddyPress plugin which has not been updated.

So can anyone help me with this??!!

I installed the standalone version of bbpress here. The install file is physically located on http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php. When I navigate to that link, I get this error:

“The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”

I tried installing bbpress as a WordPress plugin, but that didn’t work either. Basically, 1) I activated the plugin from my WordPress site, 2) created a forum from the admin panel, 3) activated the ‘bbpress’ theme which looks like twentyten. Then when I went to the main homepage, there was no actual way to get to the forum except from a direct link as there was no way to create a menu option for it. I am honestly very confused on how to get bbpress to actually work. My company is on my back about it. Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to install bbPress on another subdomain:
1. WordPress domain: blog.xxx.com
2. bbPress domain: forum.xxx.com
Wordpress should be able to manage the bbPress installation.

I’ve been searching around for a while, found a few threads, started a few years ago and wondering if there is now a new way to integrate that feature?

Thanks for help.

More info:

Look at this page:

Society Activities

The head tag ends. There is no opening body tag. This is unlike most all other pages in this site. How could this happen?

I have not changed the WordPress files, etc.

Yep, my WordPress.org user name is “mordauk” 🙂

You’re definitely right about adding the verbiage, and that the unread topics should only be visible to yourself. I’m adding it to the todo list.

[nobugames]

I already searched this forum and quite a few people had a similar problem about 6 months ago. My case is a bit different though.

I’m running the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

The created forums are all open and public.

When I as an admin user create new topics in any forum, I get the following result on any of these forum pages:

> This forum contains X topics, and was last updated by Admin Y hour,
> Z minutes ago.
>
> Oh bother! No topics were found here!

The topics list simply does not show up for me as a creator of these topics. When logged in as a subscriber, everything shows fine though.

My list of plugins is:

bbPress, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, Manage Upload Types, Polylang, User Access Manager, WordPress HTTPS, wp-jquery-lightbox, wpsc Support Tickets, WP SlimStat

The used theme is:

EvoLve by Theme4Press

[Pippin Williamson]

The plugin is on the repo now: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/

If you visit your forums profile, you will see a section showing unread forum posts, and below the box is a link to “Mark all topics as read”.

I have a donate link on my site: http://pippinsplugins.com/support-the-site

[jeeni]

Oh, thanks! I actually had happened upon that repository page but disregarded trying it out because I thought it was a clone/another instance of this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/

It would be crazy to have to mark all the threads as read. I like that you have built in automatic recognition of someone reading a thread by visiting it more than a few moments. I’ll load it and give it a whirl.

Where to donate if this is just what I need?

I’ve released a brand new bbPress Plugin called “String Swap” where you can easily change a few breadcrumb parameters as well as some other strings for the frontend (Forum Archive Title, some Breadcrumbs parameters, User Roles Display, plus a few Forum strings).

You can check it out here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

After installing/activating, look on the bbPress Settings page where there is a new section then 🙂

Any feedback is much appreciated! 🙂 Thank you!

Hope this helps some users 🙂

I want to override the bbPress page I get when I go to mysite.com/forums/ with a WordPress page containing bbPress shortcodes but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

• My WP page slug is ‘forums’ and contains:
  [bbp-topic-index]
  [bbp-topic-form]

• In my bbPress settings my ‘forums base’ is set to ‘forums’.

I’ve tried a bunch of other things (like setting the WP page template to ‘bbPress – Forums (Index)’ and deleting archive-forums.php in my theme. Nothing seems to work.

Also if I change the the page slug & permalink to ‘forums2’ and visit that, it works as intended.

Any ideas? I’m thinking about an .htaccess workaround but that seems excessively hacky. Thanks.

[briancostea]

I am running bbPress version 2.1.2 and I have checked the box for ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor” under Settings -> Forums but all I see is a regular textbox. What is the correct way to enable the WYSIWYG editor on bbPress?

[JulioRancho]

Hey guys, I am using buddypress with WP Social Login plugin as my register/login method. Users can all log in to the site using any method provided just fine(the available methods are FB, Twitter, Live, and Steam). The problem is when people who have logged in via Facebook try to look at or edit their profiles. A “page not found” error is reached whenever a user does this. I thought it might be a file permissions issue but user who logged in via the other services seemed to be able to view and edit their profiles fine.

I tried to search the forums and internet to see if anyone had encountered this specific issue but could not find anything. I am looking for the simplest possible way to address this issue because I just started using wordpress and seemed to be doing fine until I hit this roadblock.

My site is located at AIRJUGGLE.COM if you guys want to check it out.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated seeing as how I am seconds away from trying to reinstall but I am totally trying to avoid doing that if possible.

Watch out for the lack of this: Strip phpBB bbcode, bbcode_uid and magic urls during import

[zachhandley]

So with what bbpress currently has, I would like to ask a few things.
1. Are there separate themes completely?
2. I want a button so there’s a new topic button, not just a random forum at the bottom, is that possible? Same goes for replying inside a topic
3. If there aren’t any individual themes, all I want is for the background to be black, and forum titles to be white with a new topic button at the top menubar.
Wordpress v3.4.2 bbpress up-to-date

[zachhandley]

Hey guys,
So what I have done so far is create a forum. I made the parent forum and the category works perfectly for it. However I want to make a sticky that goes at the top that stays there that explains how the forums work etc. Only I can’t because it’s a category. Any workarounds? People can’t be allowed to post in the parent forum so. Also, I want to know how to get it so that the highest rated forums are the ones that appear at the top, like maybe have a rating on each one you can click on in the forum at the bottom of each post?

My wordpress is the newest one out, 3.4.2 and the bbpress is the most updated one.

Thanks – Zach

I’m running the latest version of WordPress and bbPress (forget to mention that, sorry)

[Philip John]

I’m creating a customised forums front page for bbPress, by listing forums in a different way to the bbPress default.

Essentially what I’m trying to do is replace the use of bbp_list_forums() with a second, nested bbPress loop so that I have greater control over how the sub-forums are displayed.

I know I can use the ‘before’ and ‘after’ parameters of bbp_list_forums() but that doesn’t give me as much control as I need.

The only question I found that came close was this one which doesn’t actually provide a definitive answer.

Code won’t paste nicely here so it’s over here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/64681/creating-nested-forum-loops-in-bbpress

See the bbp_list_forums() reference – in place of that I want another “while (bbp_forums())…” loop but how do I do that without interfering with the main loop?

Thanks

Hey everyone. I’m planning to start working on this sometime in the very near future (once things quiet down a bit). And I’m going to be releasing it for free on the WordPress.org repository.
