Sure.

I have the Black Label wordpress theme on my site and as such it comes with a fullscreen background image option on every post and page. I bought this theme for this very reason. Now, when I plugged in bbpress, I had to use the shortcodes on the main forum page which was no problem but when I click on the forum or the topic links, I get sent to a page that instead of saying “edit page” in the admin bar, it says “Edit forum” or “Edit topic” and doesn’t allow me to set the background image.

Now I looked into creating a default background image by changing some .css but this sets that image for ALL the pages, (page.php) and though it is overridden by the set background image in the theme, it isn’t pleasing to my eye to have one background image when you open and a second or two later have another one pop up on top of it. So I trashed this option.

Did some research on how I can resolve this problem and found a previous thread here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Needless to say that it interested me that I could create my own wrapper and have the forums and topics open up in a special page and have a set background for that page alone that won’t affect my other pages.

Well, this is the skinny of my situation. I hope I gave you enough info this time, sorry for not doing it from the get go. Can I do this? Where do I change the default wrapper to my new one? I’m imagining it’s in the function sets. Or perhaps there is an even better solution to my situation. What do yo suggest Brandon?

Oh, and thanks for your time

I too have this problem. It’s the one thing I need to get sorted for my site to “work” so to speak. As my site is forum orientated this is important BUT trying to get an answer seems to be impossible. Buddypress and WordPress forums are no help. I really would appreciate an answer to this.

[phillg]

I have spent countless hours trying to solves this but im still having no luck. I have trawled through google and the bbpress forum but can’t seem to find a solution.

While updating a website for a client they asked for buddpress to be removed as no one was using the social network side of the site, and a stand alone forum be put in place, hence bbpress.

I started off by removing the buddypress plugin and all it files, deleted the bb-config.php and dropped all the tables in the database with the prefix wp_bp.

I installed the latest bbpress plugin from within the wordpress admin and activated it, then created a few test forums and topics.

The forum displays fine when the default permalink structure is used however when I turn pretty permalinks on all the pages go to a 404 page not found.

I have tried adding Options +Multiview and Options -Multiview to the .htaccess. I have tried setting the bbpress mod_rewrite to true and false but still no luck.

I have also tried chmod 777 the .htaccess file.

Here is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .join-hello*

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*helloecoliving.com.* [OR]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

</IfModule>

SecFilterScanPOST Off

</Files>

</IfModule>

<Files 403.shtml>

allow from all

</Files>

deny from 93.182.137.19

This is driving me crazy all my other custom post types work!

Any help is appreciated!

I think I saw a button like this on wordpress.org-

[humanrights4tibet]

– go to your WordPress admin backend

– go to add new plugin

– either search for bbpress plugin, or if you’ve downloaded the .zip already, go to upload tab and navigate to where you downloaded it to

– press install now

– activate it

Then you get a new section in your dashboard – forums, topics and replies

Off you go

I am having similar trouble. On WordPress log out I do not get directed to the Login Out/In page but to another page on my site altogether.

I have also deactivated all plugins one by one to come to the conclusion that it is BBPress plugin. As soon as this was deactivated the log out process returned to normal.

Awaiting to hear of reply to natproff, thanks for help in advance.

I’ve seen this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and this is bbpress V1.1, so I don’t know if it is already solved. Maybe someone can give me feedback on this, so I can trac a ticket if it is still a bug.

The new WordPress.com startpage has tabs with some subpages, and this subpages have URLs like this:

http://de.wordpress.com/#!/topics/

bbpress is failing on the URL detection. Maybe you will see the problem in this post too. If not, here is a link for you:

http://de.forums.wordpress.com/topic/grosere-auswahl-an-bloggern-in-themen-erwunscht?replies=2#post-17127

Is this still a problem in the newest version of bbpress?

[dpmcalister]

Thanks, I’ll look into that

[pimarts]

What I did on http://www.swnk.org is use a plugin called Redirection to simply re-direct the WordPress profile to the buddyPress. I’m pretty sure you can do the same for bbPress -> WordPress. That works.

[pimarts]

Since bbPress is part of WordPress you should be fine using Yoast WordPress SEO. Great plugin.

You need a plugin called bbp signature https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/

hi~ bbPress is really great and I do love it. however, when i transferred my wordpress to a new server. something bad happen.

when I enable the bbPress, an error message shows up:”Warning: Creating default object from empty value in webwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-includesbbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84″

I guess it has something to do with this code ‘$bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;’

could anyone give me some instruction?

the theme i use is the default Twentyeleven Century.

thanks a lot in advance!

[Projectredemption]

ahh i found the line ill change it from false to true

[Projectredemption]

okay i got it now what do i do to it should i add define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); to the bottom of the page

[baldg0at]

Here’s a real basic rundown of what I did.

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

Create a Child theme for your current theme — https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Copy the files from plugins>bbpress>bbp-themes>bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder.

Go to your WP Admin and activate your child theme

Edit the child theme as needed to match your site. You may be able to get by with just editing yourchildtheme>css>bbpress.css, but you can change any of the theme files to make the forums look however you want.

[baldg0at]

wp-config.php is located in the root of your wordpress directory.

[natproff]

I am really impressed with BBPress so far however I’ve uncovered an annoying little problem that I just can’t fix.

Whenever I log out of either BBPress or WordPress I get redirected to a subdirectory on level down. My install is currently in a subdirectory while it’s being developed but the log out adds another subdirectory of the same name.

An example would be http://www.domain.com/dev

and when i log out i redirect to http://www.domain.com/dev/dev

If I deactivate BBPress this no longer happens so I know it’s something in the plugin. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

[Projectredemption]

i have thats the thing it saves all my forums and stuff after the reinstall

[Health Tips]

Sounds weird. Get a back up, and try re-installing.

[Projectredemption]

Really need help with this i need to remove all old files and get new ones

[Projectredemption]

How can i do a complete uninstall of bbpress?

So i can reinstall and everything should work

[Projectredemption]

[POS2012]

Is it ok for me to start with bbPress 2.1 + WordPress, then later upgrade to BuddyPress if my site grows and it will form a natural community?

[dpmcalister]

Sorry to “bump” this, but I was really hopeful that someone would be able to help
