Just installed the Codestyling Localization plugin… it spits out a message: “Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.”

Well,.. the author would be bbPress.

any comments?

I’m unable to use this plugin on bbPress but works fine on everything else.

regards,

Peter

I tried what you suggested.

At my forums root http://klymene.net/forums/ you will see 2 forums listed – English and Hindi. You will also see that there is an indication of some content under English.

If you click on English http://klymene.net/forums/forum/english no topics are listed.

On top of page, you will see error message

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

You can go directly to http://klymene.net/forums/topic/test and see the topic which should be under the English forum. Topic actions like Reply are absent though.

On top of page, you will see error

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in .../wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

P.S. In Settings > Permalinks, the setting is

/%postname%.html

[Anointed]

Make sure that you have gone into settings -> forums and clicked save. I would also suggest going into settings -> permalinks, choose a nice url structure from the list and also click save.

This ‘should’ set the permalinks for everything so that your topics will show up. Hopefully solving the problem.

Anointed, I’m facing a bit of a problem.

I have just installed bbPress plugin into my WordPress (with Weaver II theme – based on TwentyEleven theme).

When I go to the forums root, the layout seems acceptable.

However, when I click on a forum, I am taken to a page where I do not see any topics listed under the forum, even though I have created a topic under this forum, and this is acknowledged in the forum list (root).

If I go directly to the topic URL by typing it in address bar, I do get to the topic page, which is visible just fine (except that no reply, flag, quote etc buttons are available).

Please help!

Hello,

So I have made a few posts around this forum and the wordpress forums about my technical difficulties with bbPress integrating into my theme… I’ve yet to figure it all out.

I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post this in or not, but I would like to “hire” someone to help me with my forums. I want to make them with bbPress and have them full-width, while still retaining the main menu and logo at the top of the website…

If anyone is interested in helping me out, please let me know!

Thanks,

Corey

Unfortunately can’t get it to work at all. Consistently get “conversion failed” error and have no idea why. The error on the bottom is “conversion is not supported.” Could be a server setup error but I have phpbb3 and wp in the same database. My guess was that since I have the host configured as an ip behind a firewall as 10.10.xx.xx that I would use that as the hostname. I tried everything and get the same error. I used the same hostname as is set up in wordpress, same user name same database and same password and I get the same “conversion is not supported” error. Anyone see anything like this?

I installed WordPress 3.3 and BuddyPress 1.5.2. BuddyPress seems to be considered my site.

The bbPress plugin already existed after I first installed BuddyPress.

I now want to run a Bulletin Board site so I created a new site and gave it a directory name off the root install.

When I FTP to the server, the directory I created does not show up yet I can render a site at the address that includes the directory in the url. I also get the Twenty Eleven theme with the site.

I went to the site and activated the bbPress plugin.

The Bulletin Board site looks like traditional WordPress.

How do I get the new site to look like your bulletin board site?

[jloosli]

I was hoping things would change with WordPress 3.3, but still no go. I’m working on a SSO plugin for Simple Machines, but ideally I’d like to get bbPress working.

[ghulst]

Forgot to add:

WordPress 3.2.1

Buddypress version 1.2.9 (don’t really want to upgrade this due to other custom modifications)

[lkey]

i’m trying to set up a forum using bbpress at awardspace.com.

trouble:

i unzipped bbpress 2.0 on my desktop, then i uploaded ALL the files to awardspace in a folder called bbpress. i visited mysite.com/bbpress/ and there’s no installer. it’s just blank.

questions:

is bbpress a plugin for wordpress? like should i install wordpress on the server first? i’m completely new to these things…

or

should i set up a database first? then go to somewhere and find the installer??

or

should i just set up wordpress and install a wordpress forum plugin??

[mrabraham]

I am integrating BBPress 2.0.2 into WordPress and Buddypress to create a forum/social experience.

I have everything functioning correctly, but while trying to style the forum I cannot seem to change the height of the forums categories. Currently they are about 300px in height, which is ridiculous! I have done everything I know to do in CSS and I cannot change this.

Am I doing something wrong?

[LiveFreeOrDie]

I just upgraded wordpress to the latest version, then bbpress. This is my first time upgrading bbpress, and evidentially I did something wrong.

I receive this error:

Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in /home/username/public_html/wp-content/themes/daily/functions.php on line 501

I searched google and this site, and was unable to find any information. Where did I go wrong?

Hi.

I am using bbPress as a stand alone forum on WordPress with Suffusion theme.

I have Categories and Forums.

I do not like the look on the home page of the Forum List under the Category.

All the Forums titles run together onto one continuous line like this:

Category A

-Forum 1, Forum 2, Forum 3, Forum

4, Forum 5, Forum 6

How can I have the Forums under a category listed down the page like this?

Category A

-Forum 1

-Forum 2

-Forum 3

-Forum 4

-Forum 5

-Forum 6

Is there a pluggin to fix this?

Thanks.

-Mike

[LabSecrets]

Yes, you can install bbpress plugins…so long as they are designed for 2.0.2 or higher. There are also many wordpress and buddypress plugins that will work with bbPress 2.0 in this configuration.

You can see many examples of these plugins on our demo sites at http://labsecrets.com/showcase

Cheers!

Thank you for this interesting blog. Very useful indeed, specially for SEO. I wanna be very good in WordPress, this information will surely help me a lot. Please keep posting more new features. Thanks again!

[Anointed]

I’m guessing that the most ‘generic’ way to do this would be to use multisite, put bbPress onto a single site, and then simply add a link to that site in all the other sites menu’s.

You could use a plugin like

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/

That would add each user to every site on your network when they signup on one site. It does take some setup, but works pretty well for what it is.

[Sean_A]

I would love an answer to this too.

[indivio]

I am on the latest WordPress and I installed the new bbpress plugin.

I created a forum. I made it private so that non-forum participants cannot see it.

I created a test forum participant.

I logged into as the forum participant via another browser. The forum participant cannot see any of the forums at all. Unless I make it public.

(Sorry, I just realized this should be in the troubleshooting forum)

If I make it public, anyone can see the topics, which I do not want.

Is there a solution?

[karinecc]

Could you tell me where can I find this version of bbPress? Why look at this link [https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/download/] not found.

Thanks.

[Sean_A]

I installed WordPress, and then BuddyPress. As far as I know, BuddyPress comes with bbPress 2.0.2.

In BuddyPress’ components, the “Discussion Forums” component is NOT ticked, it’s off.

Instead, I have a bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on the wordpress’ list of plugins. I unfortunately don’t remember if I installed the plugin, or it got installed as I installed BuddyPress.

My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I’m looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. going on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

[aravoth]

Hey everyone, I’m having a bit of trouble with my query. I’m display forum posts on the home page of my wordpress site so they kind of look a bit like a blog post. What I’m having a hard time figuring out is, how can I exclude spam, hidden, and closed topics from veiw on that page.

Basically, I only want to show open topics on the home page, the part o the code in question is…

$bbp_loop_args = array(

'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),

'orderby' => 'date',

'order' => 'DESC',

'post__not_in' => bbp_get_super_stickies(),

'posts_per_page' => 10,



);



if ( bbp_has_topics( $bbp_loop_args ) ) :



if ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();



global $more;

$more = 0;



get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );



echo '<ol class="other-recent-posts">';



endif;

endif;

I’m able to exclude super-stickies easily enough, but excluding hidden, spam, and closed topics is eluding me.

Anyone out there have any Ideas?

[theurbanbrain]

Thank you for the reply. I did try resaving the permalinks via wordpress main settings and then under the bbpress settings (changing prefix from forum to allforums and then back again) but it didn’t work. Hmmmmmmmm This one has me stumped.

[Themes Community]

Before I answer, I have a bbPress forum site that create for some times and I don’t really make it public. So there is no other post than mine and team (and spam that i deleted already). I still manage others projects with other team.

1 – Are there any anti-spam measures on sign-up? (I just had to enter an email address to register here)

Yes, I use WangGuard and reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0

2 – Do you have to have wordpress already installed? (I was thinking of testing bbPress by itself first)

Yes, because bbPress is a plugin

3 – When you have wordpress installed, can it load in ‘latest posts from the forum’ in wordpress pages? Such as on category listing pages or actual blog posts.

Yes, sample:

Newest topics at http://themescommunity.com/newest-topics/

Newest post … no idea yet since I don’t need it for now.

4 – Is bbPress server efficient? vB has always been good on that front.

vB still the best choice if you want the best forum IMHO

5 – Is it easy to customise? The style I will want to port over is at http://www.gameslurp.com

Yes, but not the same. The feel maybe can be achieve by styles but not the features.

6 – Does bbPress track unread/new posts? So any new posts can be shown in bold on the forum listing page if they contain new posts since the last visit/page refresh?

Some modification needed, but no idea yet since I don’t even think about yet.

Hope satisfy your need, not much but that my little knowledge about bbPress that I can share. I believe others will answer more and detailed.

[Themes Community]

First latest bbPress don’t have custom theme, instead it (merge) using your WordPress theme. And off course you can edit how the way bbPress look by customize the styles of bbPress css but it will use your wp theme not your custom bbPress theme.

I believe bbPress theme that you download are for bbPress 1.x
