Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.

The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it.

unzipped foldername is “trunk” which i renamed to bbpress.

Downloaded a zip file from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

and it had a different content then the “trunk” folder.

Uploaded this one and it worked in wordpress.

However, the initial problem from this topic still remains, also in version 2.1

[frank8265]

Tried that, but after that nothing shows up in the plugin list in WordPress.

By the way, it’s a multi site install.

Don’t know if that makes any difference?

[Jared Atchison]

Just delete the bbpress directory in your plugins folder and replace with the new one. You don’t need to do any uninstalling in WordPress, no.

Is it true about the new WordPress policy that says any support for Custom Post Types does not belong in themes?

[Jared Atchison]

Wow, that is really weird.

Just for grins, if you upgrade to 2.1 does that fix it.

Thank you John, I use bbPress 2.1 and using Shortcodes actually improve something. The list of forum looks better. But still not working correctly, you can see it again in http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum.

I know no one will take so much trouble but if you want I can give you access to the web or create an instant portable wordpress (http://www.instantwp.com/) with themes, plugin and everything ready to see what errors have. If not, nothing happens, I understand that you do not waste time on this with me.

John thank you very much for your help, really appreciate it

[Jared Atchison]

In theory this should work with bbPress as well, but it has not been confirmed or tested.

Try using bbPress 2.1 pre-release and report back.

I continued to do some tests but continues to do the same. I have asked in the support forum wordpress theme, but nobody has any idea. So I’m giving up, I do not know what else to do.

Hi, I am new here.

I just upgraded WordPress and Buddypress on my site to the newest version. I noticed the avatars folder has been moved from wp-content/blogs.dir/1/avatars to wp-content/uploads/avatars, and since avatars are not showing in bbpress I guess it is still looking for avatars in the old location.

I am using bbpress verson 1.0.2. I will upgrade to 2.0 sometime later on, but for now I need this one to work.

Does anyone know what I need to do to make this work?

[Millen]

Jaredatch I might wait since I just checked the development tracker ( https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap ) and realized that 2.1 is 99% finished.

Maybe we can see a finished release this week?

[lisabirdwing]

We have a somewhat complex integration of BB press for a client site and it’s our first go around with this functionality, so my developer needs some consulting support. This is a paid position for phone support in the US. Estimate 2-6 hours of support needed, pay is $75/hr. Need someone who is a fluent English speaker, available during US business hours and has successfully implemented BB Press on WordPress sites before with a high degree of proficiency.

Would love help this week please. Email lisa@birdwingdesigns.com with your qualifications if interested. Thank you!

Hi there,

We just installed bbPress 2.0.2 on the latest version of WordPress. Everything is working great, except that when someone subscribes to a topic they never receive the email notifications. Regular WordPress notifications (such as new user registration) work fine. Any idea what’s wrong? The only other plugins we have are small things like random quote widget and weather widget.

Thanks!

Hello, I have bbpress up and running along with buddypress and it’s working fantastic. I have just one issue.

On my main forums page, I can’t figure out how to get the topic count to update. For example, here is my page listing all my forums:

http://www.cornerstonecooking.com/forums/

The second forum (Cornerstone recipes) says it has two topics but there is really only one. I created a topic in that forum and then deleted it but the count still shows 2 topics. While this isn’t a huge deal, I can imagine it getting confusing as forums grow.

I even permanently deleted the topic in the wordpress admin section thinking that might do it. Still no luck.

Is there some reason why this count isn’t updating normally?

Thanks!

I’m using “bbPress (Twenty Eleven) 1.0 by Stephen Carroll, WordPress and bbPress teams.” I get the error:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

And the page templates don’t show up, so I can’t create a forum index. Have I installed this theme incorrectly?

thanks!

I’ve just installed bbpress and it looks great. I seem to some sort of problem. When some post a reply to the first post i looks strange…

LINK: http://www.neworleanssaints.dk/Forums/emne/test-trad/#post-3573

WordPress vers: 3.3.1

bbpress: 2.0.2

[harnold007]

My installation instructions.

1. Installed plugin and activated in WordPress.

2. Copied the contents of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/ into my themes root folder /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/

3. Modified bbpress.css in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/css/

4. Put in this line in my header.php <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/css/bbpress.css”>

5. Modified my page.php in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/ (please note if you have any other pages using page.php in your theme modifying this file will also modify those pages utilizing this wordpress page template). I modified it so my forum would be full width without the sidebar. This will vary depending on your theme.

6. Created my forums in my wordpress admin panel under the forum section.

7. Tested, everything is working great!

You’ll need to give the .htaccess file permissions (via FTP) so WordPress can write to it.

[Jared Atchison]

No problem!

[ericaski1]

That’s awesome! Thank you. I was trying to be proactive and research it on my own before posting the question, but the downside to that I’ve found is many of the questions/asnwers are outdated.

[Jared Atchison]

If you are using bbPress 2.x (which you are) all the users are shared and everything is taken care of automatically – so no need to worry

The article you were reading might have been for bbPress pre 2.x.

[ericaski1]

My site has a forum AND may have a blog in the future. So I just wanted to be sure that users did not have to create two different logins.

So this will occur automatically? An article I thought I read in one forum that the databases for the bbpress and wordpress users were inherently separate, unless you specifically told bbpress to use the same database as wp?

[Jared Atchison]

No need to bump an old thread.

Check out this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

Please create a new topic if you have more questions.

[Jared Atchison]

What do you need to do exactly?
