Hi folks,

A newbe to WordPress and bbPress so please forgive me (and advise) if this post is in the wrong place.

I’m working with my client’s existing website at http://nmhunts.com I’m attempting to create a Forum in which his clients will be able to discuss their hunting experiences. My intent is to create the forum in a subdirectory and link to it from the main website.

I installed WordPress in folder /wordpress. I installed bbPress. I had to change my Site Address (URL) in General Settings to http://nmhunts.com (from http://nmhunts.com/wordpress) so I could get my log in and log out buttons to work properly. (Without this change, the links would add an extra /wordpress to the url yielding something like http://nmhunts.com/wordpress/wordpress/wp-login.php . . .)

Now my links to my Registration and Lost Password pages don’t work. The path does not include the /wordpress that it needs. i.e. the buttons are looking for the Registration page at http://nmhunts.com/?page_id=8 instead of http://nmhunts.com/wordpress/?page_id=8.

Ideally, I would like to get the login and logout links to quit adding the extra “/wordpress” to the path.

I tried messing around with permalinks and slugs to change the path of these pages but WP apparently won’t allow the forward slash (/) after the

/wordpress/

As stated earlier, I am a newbe and I’m hoping that it is my unfamiliarity with WP and bbPress that is preventig me from finding the easy solution. Your help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, I just install bbPress on my WordPress website with Magnifizine design, but I have a big problem when I go to forums page, just look at this : http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/14/1333461538-bbpresswtf.jpg

How to fix ?

It is the same problem on “forums” page (list with category/forums), and when I click on a category too.

No problem on a forum, and no problem while reading a topic.

Thanks.

Hi!

I´m running a wordpress/buddypess/bbpress combination and I also need to change the permalink structure, in a bit different way then eleram – I´m looking for a more logic structure in all forums: example.com/forum/name-of-forum/name-of-post/

-> replace slug “forum” by name of forum

-> replace “topic” by name of topic

I can customize the code, but I´m not sure where to look on.

@John: “WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress’s content types” -> where do I have to look for (bbpress´ custom post types) to adjust the permalink logic?

Of course I will share my customization as soon a sfinished.

Thanks!

hi all, sorry for bad english. i have installed bbpress by wordpress plugin search tool and i have uploaded the theme in bbp-themes folder (also tryed in my-templates).. now, what to do? lol

practically i’ve got the same problem http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-dashboard

version 2.0.2

[areed101]

I installed bbPress and created 8 forums and several topics. All was good. I added the bbPress Attachment plugin and now I can no longer access the forums in admin. I can see and edit topics in the admin and on the front end I can see the forums and add/see topics. I just can not access the forums to add, edit, delete on the admin. The link to Forums does not show up on the Admin navigation.

I am running:

WordPress 3.3.1

bbPress Version 2.0.2

The issue seemed to start after I added the plugin got bbPress Attachments. However, I deleted the plugin (both bbPress and bbPress Attchment) and just reinstalled bbPress.

On another website I used the same template and added both bbPress and bbPres Attachment and it works fine. I also switched to a bbPress (Twenty ten) and had the same issue.

Before I had these problems, I edited the Archive Slugs and Single Slugs several times here (Settings >> Forums)

Currently the slugs are set at:

forum

topic

topic-tag

I do have the warnings: Possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug

However, I get warning no matter what I put in these fields.

Any suggestions?

Hey Jared, just to share this with you, i finally did what i need it in the front page with a tabs plugin found at

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-post-tabs/

and the shortcodes found at

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

you can check it out in the main page of quimbumbia dot org any comments will be apreciated..

Thanks for the support!!

the only thing i need to find now is a shortcode for most visited and most commented

[eleram]

Thanks John

so I need to use “Rewrite API/add rewrite rule” in wordpress, isn’t?!

[John James Jacoby]

Unfortunately not easily. WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress’s content types. It’s possible to overload them, but you’ll need to do so on your own.

[John James Jacoby]

1. Create a WordPress page with the same slug as your forums root

2. Add the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to that page’s content

3. Make this page the front page of your site

I got this solution… which is probably not so clean but it works; previously I had already created a function to retrieve the full width bp avatar in wordpress, now I looked at the bbp code and filtered the function fetching the avatar in replies with that function I had previously created

function sg_author_avatar($size) {

global $post;

if ( function_exists('bp_core_fetch_avatar') ) {

echo apply_filters( 'bp_post_author_avatar', bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $post->post_author, 'type' => 'full', 'height' => $size, 'width' => $size ) ) );

}

elseif ( function_exists('get_avatar') ) {

echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), $size );

}

}



function sg_bp2bb_author_avatar() {

$author_avatar = sg_author_avatar('150');

}

add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'sg_bp2bb_author_avatar')

Hi all. I’ve read that there is no way that the main page of wordpress can be the forum itself, but i wonder if I can take the code of the bbpress that hanlde all the forums and insert it as an include into the wordpress index.php. if that is posible an some one help me telling me which part of the code is the one I can copy to call the forum and topics in to the very front page.

I’ve seen i can show all that in the sidebar, but i would like to make it the main page like the forum page with the latest topics, most comented and most visited.

Thank you

[Jared Atchison]

Are you on bbPress 2.x or 1.x?

If you are on 2.x do not use the plugins on bbPress.org, instead use WordPress.org

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

[Laughing Cat]

Done that too, anyway there’s nothing else being loaded on forums besides forums, as I said I haven’t touched yet the template files, just copypasted into my theme. Other than the forums themselves, in the forum pages, there are being loaded just wordpress menus. As I said it looks like they are ordered in the frontend based on their ID not on the page order. Which is the function listing all the forums in the template files? Can I try perhaps forcing the order or if I know which is the function responsible for that perhaps I can throw some PHP to reorder them manually – in this case may I know how it is stored the ordering variable?

thanks

Hi All,

Read the instructions and installed through wordpess.

The options I have seem very limited and read about a BBPress Dashboard but cannot locate it.

On WordPress I can see Forums/Topics/Replies and a few basic settins in Settings Forum.

But nothing that seems to give you any degress of control.

I have obviously missed something and from searches so have many people on the internet.

I would like to install a set theme for the BBPress – I have created my-templates and added theme static-red I found. But cannot locate how to activate.

I am sure it will be on the BBPress Dashboard (probably)

Any pointers to its location and how to access it would be great.

Or it maybe I have access to all the options and have just missed it.

Thanks in advance.

If it works with TwentyEleven then unfortunately it’s an issue with you theme (typically the theme is doing something strange and not orthodox).

I’m not familiar with the Arras theme, I would contact the theme author and see if they have any insight.

Without having the theme it’s hard to tell, it could literally be 100s of things.

I noticed the theme is no longer available in the WordPress.org theme repository, looks like it got pulled. That’s a little concerning as themes are pulled from the repo when they are either not written correctly or doing something shady (putting links in your footer, etc).

[Jared Atchison]

You are using 2.1, which is good.

What you need to do is tweak the CSS, I don’t recommend editing core, I would use this instead https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/

bbpress.css, line 48 is what you need to change, ie

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {

color: #CCC;

}

[Jared Atchison]

If you are using bbPress 2.x, bbPress stuff does not get put in the primary RSS feed by default. If it is then I would check and see if maybe a plugin is screwing something up.

[withoutink]

Hi all, I am moving my website and forums into WordPress & bbPress from Joomla and Invision Power Board.

Today, I converted the forums… Everything is working fine except that the posts are markedup in HTML i.e… BR’s and Hrefs. But the HTML is not rendering. This is a problem as I have about 85k posts on the forum. So, they all look like crap at the moment.

Is there a a way I can allow all posts to render HTML?

the beta site WordPress/bbPress install is here: http://beta.friendsoffoamy.com/forum

the original IPB install is located here: http://friendsoffoamy.com/forum

Any help would be appreciated.

[highexistence]

With the BBPress plugin, the normal WordPress RSS feed becomes a huge list of forum topics and replies.

I know that you can alter your RSS feed with a post_type parameter, but what about people who are already subscribed to the /feed RSS feed URL? Is there a way to alter the output of the main RSS feed to avoid spamming them with every reply on the site?

[Laughing Cat]

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.

[tilly2012]

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???

[Jared Atchison]

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.

[kikac_nngk]

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
