Ah wait — nope, just a trick of the eye.

It seems changing the permalink structure gave me two similar looking addresses:

website.com/forum (a page I made using the shortcode into the top page of the forums)
website.com/forums (the default top page, linked in the breadcrumbs and unable to be altered)

So the problem persists, just with a different name :/

[fencer_x]

Huh.

It seems I solved the problem without meaning to.

I changed my permalink structure from the default (to one which uses the page title), and the problem solved itself! The breadcrumbs now link to the proper title page, yay!

bbPress is made to integrate with wordpress smoothly, the default template for bbpress forums is your themes own, for every page,category etc. If you change the default layout for your theme, then the template for bbpress would change
and what is the link to your site?

I have a 404 problem with pagination on topics archive pages, for both admins and non-admins. The first page display correctly, but get a 404 errors on subsequent pages:

`
/topics/page/2
/topics/page/3
`

I am using a custom `archive-topic.php` on my theme and using the following plugins on WordPress 3.5.1:

bbPress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7-beta2
User Switching 0.7.1
WordPress Post Type Archive Links 1.1
WordPress SEO 1.4.4

I have disabled all plugins and switched the theme to TwentyTen with flushing rewrite rules on every steps with no success. I have also changed the permalink structure to default `?post_type=topic&paged=2` and still not working.

On my attempt to debug `$wp_query`, at the `pre_get_posts` action hook, everything looks OK:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] => 1
…
[is_404] =>
`
However at `template_redirect` action, query looks like:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] =>
…
[is_404] => 1
`

I only tried that with topics pagination, not forums or replies.

Thanks.

I don’t really know what this issue is called. I created several forums here and, for some odd reason, when I generate a new forum, it gives me a permalink with the name of the forum plus a number, like so: http://www.happynakedpeople.co/forums/forum/leaflet-2/. There is no other forum named Leaflet and I would like the permalink to be as clean as possible. When I try to change the permalink to just `/leaflet/` it defaults back to `/leaflet-2/`. Why is this?

I am using WordPress 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and my theme is built around Starkers 4.0.

Sorry- I didn’t see your reply earlier
Yes the BBpress widgets work nicely.
The issue is that I want to decide which widget shows on which page.
I have tried numerous widgets and when the forum pages show, they are all messed up. They fill in with the forums only all scrunched together.

I’ve als tried putting the shortcode in a page and that has helped when assigning widgets except for when on the “forums” part of the breadcrumb after entering a board. It goes crazy.
sitename/forums/etc

I found one custom widget plugin that makes a widget “drag and drop” page in the editor for each page and post editor area but the person that will be using this will have a difficult time using it. When using that plugin if I make all the forum widgets to be the default setup and just add/subtract widgets per page – it won’t show the craziness.

I don’t think I can describe this any better. It just looks like craziness and it isn’t in the forum widgets… The forum contents fill up any available widget on the sidebar even if the widget isn’t “assigned” to the forum and it is only when following the breadcrumbs AFTER being in a board.

Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish.  Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.

Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;

• adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
• selects it automatically
• removing default default bootstrap style from list.

You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂

[archivedb]

Because right now I’m editing files at /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress and I know it’s wrong and I will lose everything on update.

I’ve crated a child theme of my own theme (do I really have to do that? can’t I just create a dictionary within my own theme?), activated it, copied all bbpress theme files to this child theme, but I’m not sure how to “link” them to bbpress? Because after everything bbpress was still using theme files from /plugins/ dictionary…

Anyone?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for this stupid question, but bbpress documentation is really confusing, I’d love to understand bbpress more so I could help others though.

When I installed BBPress on a new site, I noticed that the default forum page (/?post_type=forum) gave me a strange title at the top of the browser (“Archive | ##:## [time]”) as if it were being dynamically generated every time I refreshed the page–and the sidebar widgets were my generic ‘page’ widgets and not the ones I’d explicitly set for the Forum/Reply/Topic pages from the Admin panel (the Reply/Topic pages display just fine; it’s only the base Forum page that’s giving an issue).

I thought I’d solved this problem by making the ‘Forum’ link in my header menu link to a generic page I made that I slapped the bbpress forum shortcode onto–and all looked well–but now in the breadcrumbs, if I click ‘Forum’ from a reply or topic page, I’m sent back to “/?post_type=forum” and left with the same issues.

Any idea what’s going on or how to resolve it? Why isn’t the Forum page accepting the sidebar widget I’ve assigned it, and why is it giving me a dynamically generated, non-helpful title?

Hello again !

i have a second problem I don’t know how to tackle :

the forum installed itself in a page with sidebar, I believe this the default page template of my theme, or the post template.
I need to get rid of the sidebar on the forum page.
Any idea how I can do this ?

thanks

Hello,

I am trying to modify the default bbPress theme and it is driving me crazy. What’s the best way to figure out which specific file a need to edit to add or remove code?

Thank you!

[SUM1]

By the way for some strange reason the topics display fine in Internet Explorer and Chrome, just not in Firefox (my default browser).

[jtong80]

Bump for any help. The URL is aeris.com/forums. I created a new page for this, but the featured image that is supposed to be in the top section gets overwritten by the default template. Is there a way to modify the php so I can put an image in the top section that works on all pages?

Also the login button is all the way to the right using the login shortcode. How do I move it to the left?

[jtong80]

hmm I still can’t set the featured image item at the top too. How do you access that in the bbpress section? I can set it when creating a new page, but there is no option to set it I believe because it takes a default template that is usually blank? Can I set it in the bbpress.php file somehow?

[jtong80]

Ok, I created a new page at aeris.com/aercloudforums and put in the shortcode for login and forum. As you can see with the login shortcode, the signup button ends up all the way to the right. How do I move it to the left with everything else that defaulted to the left?

Also, when i change the url to aeris.com/forums, it then gets overwritten by bbpress to the standard forum page. How do I make it so I don’t lose the forums structure in the url, but make my new page the one that loads at aeris.com/forums?

[jtong80]

Hello,
I created a forum at aeris.com/forums and it is great to see it using the website’s custom default template. However, I don’t see how to add the login to this page or have it show up on any of the subpages for the forum. Also, there is a feature image area at the top that I can set when creating a new page, but there is no option in bbpress to upload a pic. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there folks!

This has been frustrating, my forum used to be an stand alone version 1.0.2

As suggested in another tread, I updated first to 1.2, that process went smoothly, so I thought I was close to victory, but so far it still eludes me!

Each time i try to import the old forums using the 2.2.4 forum import function with my DB Name, DB User, DB Pass, DB prefix (default bb_) , it runs the process smoothly saying there is no users to import, no forums to import and so on.

Is there a step I may be missing?

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you try disabling any User Role/Membership plugins you are using and then run the repair tool ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ and see if the issue persists.

[adrake9]

bbp 2.2.4 , wp 3.5.1
I’m getting some very peculiar results with bbpress. I’ve got a forum setup and when someone replies it puts a duplicate post at the top of the page along with the reply at the bottom. I’ve been able to recreate it on my machine locally too. I’m using threaded replies and I changed the default order of the topic replies to “DESC” in the functions file. I’ve rolled back all of my changes and its still happening.

Also when I reply to a post it takes me to a new page which seems peculiar.

[talkingD0G]

WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbpress version: 2.2.4
http://cchfh.org/test

I created a user role called Board using “members” plugin and assigned all roles shown here for participant (http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/#participant)

I set the WordPress General settings, New User Default Role, to Board.

I set the Default role for the Forum to Participant.

I created a test user account which is set to Board and Participant. When I login with that account and go to the test page the forum doesn’t show up. But it does show up with my Admin role account.

What am I doing wrong?

[Dan]

It seems like every so often when I run the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” option, it’ll get a little further, but this doesn’t happen always. Still looking for an answer. I will leave a comment if and when I find the solution to this.

[Yakir Gottesman]

It is very easy. You just don’t need this HTML code!

This text box should use the defaults of the WordPress installation or the theme basic css instructions. The problem is that you specify the DIR in the html code, so there is no way around it using css.

If it is really important for some reason, you can use css: direction=”ltr”. We could walk around it using the rtl.css or using !important or something.

[sambedingfield]

@rewindcaz I actually disabled all of the default avatar systems that WordPress provides and created my own with a few small functions. I needed a custom made plugin because each avatar on the site is unlocked when you receive a new card to your collection.  Users can also customize their chosen avatar with nine alternative colours, which helps provide individuality.

As I’ve received a ton of feedback from the Rats Clan bbPress forum I’m going to start blogging about my code – I’ll make sure this is one of my posts! 🙂

[Yakir Gottesman]

Again, you shouldn’t put the dir=”ltr” in the code. It is better to be inherited from the defaults of the website.

This is enabled by default in the upcoming bbPress 2.3.

You can grab the bbPress beta 2 from here https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/02/bbpress-2-3-beta-2/
