I have recently transfered old bbpress 1.x standalone forums to the new bbpress 2.1 plugin platform

The moving was fine and I got back all my old forums.

However there’s something odd concerning the “freshness” of forums and discussions.

Normally freshness would display things like

Posted $years ago, or $months ago, or $days ago… and if very recent, hours, minutes, etc.

In my case, very old posts appear in the format “posted 674 days ago” or “posted 374 days ago” which is really not nice way to display

I’d like to display freshness as it was with 1.x forums. “Posted 1 year ago”, “posted 2 years ago”, that is. Alternatively I wouldn’t mind to get rid of freshness and replace it with standard last updated time (last updated on 2nd December 2009)

I’m running a localised version of WordPress (IT_it), however other dates are fine with other post types.

I wrote a thread earlier stating that I accidently deleted my forum. Well, turns out it wasn’t showing up because I changed the permalinks via wordpress. I’m assuming it just has something to do with bbpress because every other tab works fine when I change the permalinks, only my bbpress forum is no longer to be found. Anything I can do???

As I said in the other threads you bumped (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unread-poststopics-plugin-or-workaround-for-bbpress-20)

Currently there is no plugin that handles this (at the moment) for bbPress 2.x.

Anyone can write a plugin and contribute it to the WordPress.org plugin repo.

First of all sorry for bumping so often.

I’m using the suffusion v4.0.4 theme as I mentioned above. I use wordpress version 3.3.1 along with bbpress 2.0.2 and buddypress 1.5.5.

First I removed the <?php get_sidebar()?> from bbpress .php files, then in the style.css i added the proper components for the forum to be full width (i hope you get it), it was working fine.

But then I went into the sidebar.php in the suffusion theme folder (i was just trying something) and when I went to the forum page the other widgets were gone, but the new one was standing right next to the forum container .. I think this happened after I upgraded buddypress.

Then I tried to remove the bbpress plugin along with all his files, then again i re-installed bbpress, and done the same thing as before, but now all widgets are shown, not just only one. X_X

Here’s the link to the forum http://www.poker.mk/forum/forum/

I’m a bit disappointed not to be able to find a simple private messaging solution for bbPress 2 that existed through a plugin in 1.1. I don’t want to go through all the trouble of installing BuddyPress and making all the necessary theme customizations, and I don’t want to use some WordPress plugin that would require users to go to a separate page and select who they want to message from a dropdown list. I need just a simple PM link in the forum interface. Is it so complicated to add the option?

I am also looking for this, because my users are complaining this is missing, since I converted my forum from the BBPress standalone version to the BBP2.0 WordPress plugin. Has any anybody an idea how to fix it?

[charliedrake]

class foomanchu {

function __construct() {

add_action( ‘bb_hook’, array( $this, ‘callback_function’ ) );

}

function callback_function() {

$result = ‘foomanchu’;

return $result;

}

}

The bbPress Docs state that bbPress uses the exact same Plugin API as WordPress, yet the above would work in WordPress, but silently fail in bbPress.

any light in this would be much appreciated.

Brilliant!

The https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-bbpress/ works a treat.

Though apparently it does need to be updated for bbPress 2.1 so people should be aware of this.

For me, it works just how I’d have thought it should work as a total WordPress Search package. What’s the point of a site wide forum if people can’t search all content?

[wout_m]

I found this plugin for wordpress.

http://adambrown.info/b/widgets/2008/02/20/new-plugin-kb-new-posts/

It places a cookie and then marks all post since the last visit with “new”. It seems to be a simple plugin and I think it must be posible to make it work for BBpress2.0 posts.

Can someone give me a clue?

[whereiswill]

Might of been answered before but I cant seem to find it on the boards. I apologize if this is common, I might of not used the best wording.

I installed bbPress on a test wordpress running 3.2.1 (or most current). Installed just fine and I proceeded to test it from a users perspective. I added a login and register links and pages, work just fine. However when I login or register, the function will login or create a user but the new URL causes a 404.

I’m using XAMPP on my personal machine and the directory of my wordpress install is

localhost/wep/wordpress

That works just fine as it should. However the URL that returns on successful login or registration displays as :

localhost/wep/wordpress/wep/wordpress/login/

which obviously throws a 404 as it’s non existant.

I had a phpbb install in the wordpress folder before I installed bbPress and believe I might of changed the folder path on install. I tried deleting bbPress to reinstall but it just gives me an activate/deactivate/delete option.

I’m assuming there’s somewhere in the plugin I can change that root folder pathing or whatever configuration is causing this error but I’m unsure of what and where.

Any help is appreciated.

Search excludes topics/replies/forums by default – mainly because most people who install bbPress don’t have their search results styled/configured to handle the results correctly.

There are a few plugins out there that should get you started, however

I’d check out

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-bbpress/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Hey Guys,

Looking for why this is…..

I wonder why bbPress Topics / Replies don’t show up in a normal site search using the WordPress Search function?

I’d have thought (probably wrongly) that since bbPress uses Custom Post Types that it’s content would be a part of core Search.

Any isn’t this the case?

[John James Jacoby]

What version of WordPress are you using? I suspect something in your theme is attempting to access a $post variable that’s been unset as part of bbPress attempting to work its magic.

You can tell that it’s using the page template, since you have some hard-coded author information in there. It’s probably something in your theme that’s trying to access something that no longer exists.

Contact your web host and see if they use “qmail” to handle the email on their servers.

Thanks, so i can copy and past style.css into my wordpress theme css file?

Regards,

Pete.

[kikac_nngk]

wp-content –> plugins –> bbpress –> bb-themes –> bb-twenty-ten –> style.css

But i think you need a child theme, if you want to modify it.

Otherwise with your next bbpress upgrade, your components in the file will be replaced or removed

using the short code [bbp-forum-index] on a page in wordpress and for some reason it show 3 of our 4 forums and duplicates one of them. We have 4 forums (For Sale, For Rent, Rules, General) and when you load the page that has the short code [bbp-forum-index] you see (For Sale, For Rent, Rules, For Sale). I have tried deleting all forums and recreating and still get the same error. However, if you go to the system created page http://sitte.name/Forums you see the correct listing. I would use that as the forum start except I do not know where I can edit that page and its Page Name always shows the last forum created instead of ‘members forum’. Anyone seen this before? I have tried searching the forums for this condition but have not had any luck. Thanks in Advance

[peter avey]

I can’t seem to find the BBpress css file either

Hi Guys,

This is the first time I’ve used BBPress. I’m looking at using the original twenty ten theme http://cl.ly/1Q1Z3q1i3T091N272u0K on my custom wordpress theme http://cl.ly/1F3f382h3v1X0k0N1s2n

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have two sites on my wordpress network, http://www.pigsfeetproductions.com and http://www.crashedgamers.com. These two sites share the same database, but are hosted on two different servers. I want their forums to be integrated (ie when I post on pigsfeetproductions’s forums, it will automatically appear on the crashedgamers one and I want the users to be the same too if you wouldn’t mind helping me there too). Can anyone help me set this up? I have a decent understanding of the basics of bbpress, wordpress, and mySQL databases, but I just can’t figure out how to get this to work the way I want it to. All help is great appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

I have been trying to configure the forums and topics for a newly installed instance of wordpress/bbforums (2.02). they worked for a while, and I have been futzing around in the dashboard changing themes and layout etc and now, while all the forums and topics are still showing on the respective admin-page (for preview | edit | trash etc) , when clicked on to look at, I get this:

==================================

The requested URL /forums/topic/oxford-instruments/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

===================================

— The admin panes still thinks they are there. And via Admin panel I can go create new forums and topics. and they will show up on my forums list-widget ont he home page but still result in that same 404. Any help?

Last week I finished the conversion of my Forum from bbpress1.02 to the WordPress BBpress2.0 plugin. The forum is quite big (about 3.000 users, 9.000 topics and 130.000 posts), so I was very happy evering went fine. But now my users are complaining because some functions they had before, now are missing.

Most requests I get are about unread posts:

I would like to mark the uread post for each user, like the “Show Unread Posts” plugin for BBpress 1.02. As far as I know there is no BBpress2.0 plugin.

Does anybody know if there are plans to make such a plugin. Or how to fix this in another way?
