I’m having the same issue. I see two conflicting instructions for theming:

This page shows to make your own template within /my-templates/your-theme/. This page shows to put it in your wordpress theme folder: /themes/your-theme/bbpress/bbpress-files.php. So which is it?

Nevertheless, I tried doing it both ways, and neither show in the dropdown in forum settings. I tried copying the theme-compat theme in order to customize bbpress.

Can someone help, please?

Really appreciate the work you’ve done with this forum software. It’s perfect with WordPress applications!

I’m wondering how it’s going with multisite installations?

The scenario I’m currently working on is where the forum is installed on a multisite, where all sites uses full domainmapping. Now, I would like the registration process to stay on the current webpage. Right now a new registration is taken to the primary domain (default multisite behaviour) But wouldn’t it be possible to have the options to keep everything ‘within’ the webpage where the forum is installed, especially on domain with domainmapping? As this would be the most logical I think for the end user?

Input, feedback? 🙂

hi, I am sure, I am not the only one, but I do think ‘Reply” button (and maybe also “quote” button should be added by defult in every post, so users do not have to go to the bottom of the page to reply to given topic,

threaded comments are available in WordPress and it is great feature, so I think it should be nr1 new feature in bbpress 2.2

it is especially useful when replies to a topic take more than one page… especially for new users who never used bbpress.. but different forum software, this would be really great

we are using buddypress forums (after moving from phpbb, and the number of replies is now dramatically lower, because users can’t always find an easy way to reply.. and just give up…

and considering that forums are normally used for “support” – volunteers who would like to reply just give up! 🙁

I really don’t like the auto-formatting in this bbpress forum demo ><

[DNBrawler]

The simplest way would be to edit css your sidebar classes. For mine it would be .sidewrap {display:none;}and then you’d have to increase the mid section to fulfill the full-width look you want which is..midwrap {width:;}

Aesthetically this will remove the sidebars but the offside to doing this simple method is that the widgets and the sidebar will take up loading time.

Hi there,

I am totally new to wordpress and so far bumbling along happily using plugins. I have figured out how to get in via ftp access but haven’t a clue what I am doing there, so talk of editing css/ files/ .php’s etc is way over my head.

I have installed bbpress and am trying to set up the forum so that it runs full width/ no sidebars/ no wordpress widgets. But I cannot get it to do that. I have gone into the easel theme options and turned off sidebars to no avail, it still squishes the forum up in the middle of the page with all the bbpress widgets and options shoved underneath and almost impossible to see.

Can someone please give me an idiot’s guide (VERY simple explanation) of how to get a full width forum on my site please?

There are 20,000+ plugins in the WordPress plugin directory alone, at times there will be conflicts.

If you do not specify the exact problems you are having here regarding bbPress or prepared to specify them to the other plugin developers then no developers know of your issues and this indeed comes to mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_a_tree_falls_in_a_forest

Thanks for all the work you do, netweb. I was also happy to see some dude suddenly appeared with a solution to this important feature of stripping bbcode of useless stuff: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

You would be best to look at WordPress plugins, this is not something that bbPress does.

eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ndizi-project-management/

Or others https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/project-management

Or just search https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

I checked all the plugins … There are several that cause the site to break, when used in conjunction with bbpress… They include:

• Redirection
• Search Everything
• The Event Calendar
• WordPress DatabaseBackup

The calendar plugin is very important to the site. Redirection and Search Everything aren’t mandatory, but they are useful. The DB Backup I can do through PHPMyAdmin, so that isn’t important.

Is there a way to get the site working WITH these other plugins?

Everything looks like it’s working now?

[meamrussian]

Thank you very much, that solved it! I’ll be honest… I wasn’t even aware there was a trash, and I’ve been a wordpress user for a long time -.- This also may explain other problems I’ve had in the past. I wonder why the page still messed with the forums while it was in the trash, though. You’d think the trash removed functionality of the pages.

Thanks!

Every thing up ^^^^ here looks and sounds good as does the FAQ 🙂

“Is there any way to subscribe to tag feeds?”
Only by RSS, just add /feed to the end or a tags URL https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/faq/feed

“What I’m wondering is whether we need to provide anything for the forum members?”
As the docs get better I think they will be universal enough to be used by all parties and by utilizing a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-admin-bar-addition/ I think ‘the docs’ can be delivered to quite a few target audiences being discussed above.

> The new admin bar entries will only be displayed if the current user has the bbPress/ WordPress capability of moderate. (Note: I am open for suggestions here if this should maybe changed to a more suitable capability.)

If you have access to your apache config, it is possible to use mod_alias and point Roni Cohen to userid 524.

So if you mix it up with mod_rewrite, you redirect every link from 524 to Roni, and use mod_alias to point it back to 524.

We discussed using videos in the WordPress Codex. The consensus was that videos were great so long as they were done on an clean, unbranded WP install (localhost or something like that).

Hello,

I went to : http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin
Lots of language translation files are available and I was able to download them successfully.
Unfortunately for some languages, the current validators are not validating anything, leaving bbpress dead for these languages.
The bad thing is that there is no way to download older versions of the translation files, which could still work for 90% of the strings.

Please correct me if i’m wrong.

A solution would be to have a separate store on bbpress.org where the latest validated translation files are available. Even outdated translations would be better than nothing.

The situation is pretty bad, for example at the moment we can’t have a forum in the french language.

WordPress: Version 3.4.1

Hello, I searched for bbPress in the plugin directory and installed it. I proceeded to create one Forum and one Topic.
After publishing them, I clicked on “View Topic”, but I get
