Gday

sorry i am so lost not sure if i post this here? im trying to use the bbpress to create a water, sanitation and hygiene forum in the Solomon Islands.

i have trawled through this forum and the web but no luck. Internet is really slow here so it takes me literally hours!

I had a blog at .org (http://barefootengineer.wordpress.com/) So I transferred my blog over and installed the bbpress plugin. I am not confident to do the theme thingo with the .css and child theme so am using the stock bbpress theme. what i want to do is make it single column. i can do it with the home page/about. but when i do it for the blog and forum i get a sidebar with widgets. i have disabled these but they still appear? i moved the other widgets down the bottom and they work okay.

1. how do i make the blog single column. (or is there any bbpress compatible themes with wide single column?)

2. how do i get rid of these widgets? (search, archives, meta) they aren’t in the appearance panel?

Bug created at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1631 with screen shots … apologies for switching WP accounts on everybody. I’ll start looking into this and submit a patch for review when I can!

I would do the codex as Jquery did their documentation IMO, wordpress pages/posts. Easy to set up, easy to edit and change, and allows for people to comment saying what changed, how to use or provide feed back.

Gets the community involved. Thats how I do documentation for ruby based projects.

Any ways,

can you explain (since I am not testing this plugin till its 2.0) finished, how we will set it up for multi site to only use with ONE site? will it be done via the dash board?

[Recon2]

I’m trying to make a really simple install of bbPress 2.0. I am using modified bbp-twentyten theme files with my WordPress theme. I have disabled topic favorites and subscriptions and would now like to disable all the user profile pages.

I realise that this will make it impossible for users to quickly review all the posts from a particular user, but this isn’t important to me. How can I remove this functionality — or at least remove the profile link every time a username is displayed?

I hope there’s an easy way to do this

Use Avatar Upload plugin and then go here:

Tell them to change the avatars on gravatar.com.

To make the page wider for the forum I put the following code in my themes page.php:

<?php if ( strpos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], ‘forum’)) {

?>

<div class=”art-content” style=”width: 800px; margin-left: 99px;”>

<?php

}

else {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’);

?>

<div class=”art-content”>

<?php

}

this just looks for the string “forum” in the url, and if found styles the content such that it is 800px wide. Otherwise, it just uses the default width. It works, but may not be the best solution. Any other thoughts?

I installed the BBpress plugin into my WordPress install without any issues except one… Can someone tell me how I can let users of the forum update their Avatars? I’ve tried a number of plugins with no luck so far. Any suggestions?

When you delete a user from the WordPress administration panel, there is an option to either delete all of the users’ posts or switch their author to some other option. You can use the former option to remove spammer users’ posts.

[Gautam Gupta]

Tushar, I’d really appreciate if you could create a new topic for your issue and also post the problem you’re facing while installing bbPress 2.0 on WordPress. Thanks!

[rcokyj86]

Can any one help me for the installation of bbpress on wordpress.

[KRCSC]

Got the same problem, see here: http://www.krcsc.co.uk

It’s very annoying – have tried changing this (below) in loop-single-forum.php and a couple of other files:

<?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 100 ) ); ?>

But it hasn’t worked.

I’m using the User Photo plugin in WordPress which has thrown up another problem in that I now have three different sizes of avatars/gravatars/user photos – 14px, 80px and 100px. I’d prefer for them all to be 80px but to be honest just want them all the same size.

Also, does anyone know how I can centre them in the table in the main forum and tops pages??? For the life of me I can’t.

Can anyone help?

I have used this plugin for my bbpress which was integrated along with wordpress MU, and it worked perfectly.

[jomontvm]

@catlawsonNHS

Yes, this plugin is for the standalone bbpress, not for wordpress.

Sorry for the late response as I was concentrating completely on some other things.

[Escalibor]

Well I found how to get rid of “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies…”

I edited bbp-forum-template.php -> function bbp_get_single_forum_description

I shorted out the function by setting $retstr to an html break tag.

It does the job perfectly, but oh this is so wrong to do it this way 😮

Please, please tell me there is a better way to do this!!!

[John James Jacoby]

See #1626. Fixed here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3488

[Escalibor]

I have searched for hours and I can’t make sense of how to customize a forum when using bbpress that was installed as a WP plug in.

I want to do two things:

1) get rid of the part that says “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by John John 8 hours ago.”

2) I want to make the forum page wider than the default page width for my WordPress theme.

This seems like these should be very simple customization, but I just can’t figure out how to do it. Can someone point me to where I could learn step by step how to do this?

thanks,

Tom

Hi all,

I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.

This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.

I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.

Here is the issue which I need help with:

With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.

I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.

The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.

Any help appreciated.

Paul

Hi guys ,

I couldn’t install v2 rc4 in my wordpress (latest version with mysql5 and php5). I have this error:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php on line 1572

Any chance to resolve this problem without increasing my php memory? I just increased it up to 40MB with php.ini because of other plugins and my host (1&1) told me that 40 MB is the max they allow.

Thanks in advance

A.

I see the gravatar profile picture in the forum post and it’s 80 x 80. I would like them all to be 20 x 20, but I don’t know where to modify that. How and where can I do that?

Mark

P.S. I’m using the addin to WordPress.

Hi

I have found a patch that has worked for me and perhaps you may want to incorporate it into the plugin….

This is not my fix – details can be found at:

http:// brassblogs.com /cms-platforms/wordpress/wp_logout_url-agh

It worked for my installation so perhaps will be of general use.

Cheers

[alanchrishughes]

Does this little bit of code in the functions.php work? Is this the plugin you are talking about?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

I’ve actually tried using the search bar here several times but it wasn’t working for a while, it was just bring up a broken page (I don’t think it was a 404). But it seems to be working now.

Is there any way to create two separate search bars? Or drop down options like in Buddypress to search Members, Groups, Forums, Posts?

[MartinM60]

Settings are set at 50 in the bbp_forums _per_page. Admin settings are also at 50.

WordPress settings are not limiting posts.

What confuses me most is that if I reduce these settings below 5, the displayed forums do not change..

What is more, there is no ‘next page’ tag to allow users to go beyond the 5 forums which are showing.

Topics are also limiting at 5., with the forum showing 1-5 of 37 topics, but no means to go beyond the first 5.

Any suggestions welcome.
