[HotTips]

Hey guys!

So I’ve got the “Yen” theme purchased from Themesforest, and he hasn’t mentioned to me that the theme comes ready for bbpress. However, the bbpress plugin (along with the bbpress integration plugin) is actually working fine when it comes to allowing my site to have a fully functional forums section.

My issue, however, is that I really don’t like the current look. It just doesn’t look very good to me, and I’d love to be able to apply a theme to the layout in place of it, just like a typical single installation of bbpress would be.

Any way to help me on this? I can’t seem to figure out how to change the theme of this layout. I’ve never posted here before, and I did look around a little bit… but if this question has an answer, I’d love to be directed to it (and.. “sorry for the repeat post).

Thanks again everyone.

Which version of bbPress are you interested in, the standalone (version 1.03) or WordPress plugin (version 2.0)?

[pimarts]

If you already have installed WordPress, you’re probably better off using the plugin that you can easily install from the admin pages of your site.

Go to Plugins / Add New and search for bbPress.

As for uploading something, use a FTP client like Filezilla.

Different approach, new account, let’s hope my posts don’t automatically get flagged as spam this time.

Ok, I’m running Version 2.0-rc-1.

Amongst my forums I have a forum that I have set to:

Status: Open

Visibility: Hidden.

Admins can see and use it just fine.

Editors can only see it though, when I go to the forum page (as an Editor) /forums/forum/<forum-name>/ I get a “Page Not Found. The page you were looking for was not found.” Other forums / topics work just fine.

I’m running the members plugin mentioned above (the new one) and I have given editors the following caps (amongst other stuff):

read_hidden_forums (added this myself, just to be sure, because it was not in the list)

read_hidden_topics (added this myself, just to be sure, because it was not in the list)

read_hidden_replies (added this myself, just to be sure, because it was not in the list)

read_private_forums

read_private_topics

read_private_replies

I also tried making a new role with those caps, but that doesn’t help either.

I’m probably overlooking something, anyone who can help?

Take care,

Pim

Thanks for your information.

I am trying to install them for the plugin. Does that therefore mean none of the plugins on this site will work on my wordpress plugin version? If so, is there any way of adding the restrict user and remove post functionality?

Hey, I’m looking to put a forum in my wordpress blog for my Minecraft server, and the step is “upload bbForum to your server.” How exactly do I do this? It provides no further instructions on how to do this.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, thanks for any help.

sorry but i dont understand a thing, template files have different name from 1.0 to 2.0?

i’ve now installed the 2.0 plugin version just for test, but under the docs section of this site there are named template files which i cant find in bbp-twentyten theme.

For example front-page.php is deprecated?

now do we have to use page-front-forums?

someone can help?

p.s. sorry for my bad english

Hello,

I’m adding bbPress 2.0 beta 3 to a WordPress site. It seems to work pretty well, except that it says on my profile “You are not currently subscribed to any topics.” even though I am subscribed to two topics. The same goes for Favorite forums and Topics Created.

I checked the code and it seems that bbp_get_user_topics_started(), bbp_get_user_subscriptions() and bbp_get_user_favorites() are all returning false. I’m logged in as the user with ID 2 and these rows are in the usermeta table:

37 2 _bbp_favorites 54,56

41 2 _bbp_subscriptions 56,61

That suggests that favorizing and subscribing works, but there seems to be a bug in bbp_get_user_subscriptions(), bbp_get_user_topics_started() and bbp_get_user_favorites().

In the file bbp-user-functions.php the function bbp_get_user_favorites on line 193 return array(2) { [0]=> string(2) “54” [1]=> string(2) “56” } but bbp_has_topics() on line 197 return false. I guess the same happens in bbp_get_user_subscriptions() so the problem should be in the function bbp_has_topics().

I’m not enough of a WP-expert to dive into bbp_has_topics(), which is why I’m posting here. Do you know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have installed bbpress on my wordpress site:

http://www.sithinquisitors.com/sith-inquisitor-forums/

The problem I have is that my sites theme has 3 columns meaning the forum is squashed, I was wondering if there was a way to stop the 2 columns on the right (that contain showing whilst viewing the forum.

Thanks in advance.

A converter for phpbb3 is in progress. Here’s a link to the ticket for it. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547

So it’s kinda odd but on BBpress pages only, WordPress is loading 2 style sheets. I have my normal style.css and then it loads this below.

‘http://localhost/moos-wp/wp-content/themes/cost/style.css?ver=20100503&#8217;

Both are the same style sheet. It wouldn’t matter all that much but I think it’s causing an error where I can’t target any HTML element with a style.

Has anyone else run across this error?

[sithinquisitor]

Hi There,

I have just installed the latest BBPress Beta, I have activated it with no problems and added new forums without any errors. When I go to look at my forums by following any links to them I get a URL such as http://www.sithinquisitors.com/forums/forum/sith-inquisitor-news-and-announcements/

Which in turn gives me a 404 error page. Is there something that I am missing here? I havetn changed anything within the settings or anywhere else in the WordPress/bbPress admin panel.

Regards and thanks in advance.

[John James Jacoby]

This should be fixed in RC. If you’d like to test it and see, you can download it from trac.

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

See the download link at the bottom.

[John James Jacoby]

Seems to be part of the same issue others are experiencing. I’m on it.

Moving discussion here going forward.

Hi All,

I have a fresh multisite WordPress 3.1.4 with bbPress plugin 2.0-beta-3b. I can run bbPress both in network-activate mode or per site-activate. As network-admin I can create forums, post and reply to posts. But if I configure that new WordPress users can register themselves, they are not allowed to create forum topics or reply.

What extra configurations do I have to do to configure that all new registered WordPress users can create topics and reply to them?

Thanks

Kai

[toedter_k]

I have similar issues with bbpress and multisite wordpress. When a new user registers himself, this user is not allowed to create a new topic.

I am using ppbress Version 2.0-beta-3b. Do I have to make extra manual configurations?

Thanx

Kai

[alanchrishughes]

I have been having the same problem, tags don’t do anything. Using either the beta version of WordPress or stable version, and current plugin verion of bbPress, everything straight out of the box.

[hrclinic]

Hi, Ive just installed the bbpress plug in into my WordPress installation and I get an error.

I’m guessing its a template issue but wondered if anyone could suggest a fix.

If I add the short code for the forum index it works fine, but if you click a link to the forum itself I get the following:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in PATHTOTHEFOLDER/wp-content/themes/rttheme7/functions.php on line 290

Can anyone recommend anything to fix this?

Regards

David

@nate – Seems you’re only following some of the steps outlined above. To start you’ll want to research WordPress child themes and how to make one. If you decide to go that route, then your new theme doesn’t go inside the old one, it goes in the /themes/bbp-empt/ folder that you create. It kinda sounds like you figured that out, but it’s hard to tell from your comment if it’s working for you.

Hello. I’ve integrated bbpress and bbpress post toolbar to a page on this website:

http://underwaterpeoples.com/wordpress/?forum=hi

(i know its boring..)

The post toolbar seems to be on the top of every page. Does anyone know how i can get rid of the top toolbar and keep the ones by the comment forms? I’m guessing i have to reconfigure the bbpress-post-toolbar.php file but I’m not sure how.

Please help. Thanks :0)

[Nate]

I’m new to this plugin and to bbpress in general though I do work with WordPress on a regular basis. The forums load fine. I would like to copy the default theme and customize my own based on the original.

The problem is, I don’t see a place where I can choose a template for BBPress to use. Is there a place in the WP admin panel I’m overlooking or do I need a custom function to load a specific theme?

Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been researching for hours, trying to find a way to import bbpress standalone to bbpress 2.0 in wordpress. First I imported posts from phpBB to bbPress standalone, looks like it worked, then I installed the WP plugin.

I came across this topic but it was closed so I can’t post a question there:

bbPress Standalone to Plugin Converter Beta 2

In the last post you said:

Closing this topic, as the importer is now bundled with bbPress 2.0

I can’t seem to find an importer there anywhere, I checked the Settings under the Settings > Forums menu, and all I can see are the main forum settings. Checked the Readme file with the plugin, there’s no mention of it.

Can you tell me where to find the Importer? I need to get this huge site up and running by 7/1 and I don’t want to use the Standalone version because that means 2 admin pages.

Thanks!!!

Hello,

The search field in the twentyten theme does not search for terms inside the forum, but only inside wordpress.

Please let me know how to enable searching within the forum.
