You might get some benefit from trying this theme out I created…

I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel

It kind of changes the default bbPress theme and seperates out the forums, see what you think, let me know if anything isn’t clear on it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Using the default bbPress settings I just threw up a IIS install of WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3

http://localhost:81/forums/
http://localhost:81/forums/forum/test-forum/
http://localhost:81/forums/topic/test-topic/

For the test topic I added a reply and clicked submit and the resulting URL is correct

http://localhost:81/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-7

Thanks for your reply Stephen. The site is live on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5

All other links seem to work, it is just when people reply to topics that it jumps around…

After resetting permalinks on my dev environment and setting the slugs to the WordPress defaults these are the URLS.

Navigating to a topic from the list of recent topics:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/

Navigating to a forum from the list of forums:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/forum/forum-name/

Navigating to a topic after clicking on a forum from above:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/ (this is consistent with the first link which is good).

Posting a reply from inside test-topic
http://localhost/sitename/forums/forum/forum-name/#post-158293

Posting a reply from http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-158277:
http://localhost/sitename/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-158294

Note that it doubled the sitename ^ but this doesn’t seem to affect it and lands back at the topic which is what I want.

[Stephen Edgar]

Your topic replies URL should be displaying in the format:

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277

When I set my bbPress settings to the same settings you use above these are the URL’s:

Forums base: forum (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forums’)
Topics base: topics (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topics’)
Forum Prefix ticked (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘ticked/checked’)
Forum slug: forums (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forum’)
Topic slug: topic (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topic’)

http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/test-topic/

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277

I would try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

If you have no luck I would read up on the LAMP/MAMP (Linux/Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) package you are using on what settings are needed for mod_rewrite to work on your local machine.

There are also a few (and a few broken links here) installing WordPress Locally

Hey all,

I thought I would have a go at creating a quick and easy theme for people to get started using bbPress. This was built fairly quickly using one of my other themes (which are based off the default bbPress files).

If you want to check it out then have a look at: http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/content/bbpress-theme-invision-or-phpbb-feel or check it out on github https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs.

The theme allows you to get more of a phpBB or invision look to your forum. It uses the functions I posted previously on bbPress.org along with some css to get the forum looking nice by installing the theme. The forum should be pretty fluid so it will fit any width of site.

Good luck, I hope this helps!

setup your args and pass them to the bbp_breadcrumb function

Without the fix located at http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/BbPress I get the default blank blog page at /forums/, with it, I get the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysite_after_page_content() in /home/content/39/10190339/html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/archive-forum.php on line 25
This only shows up at the bottom, but I can still click on my forum post.
But when clicking on the forum post, I get the errorFatal error: Call to undefined function mysite_before_entry() in /home/content/39/10190339/html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/forum.php on line 26
And it does NOT display my post, only displays this error. I tried searching the mysite function, but no solution to be found.
bbPress: 2.2.3
Wordpress:3.5
Site: troop121.us

I deactivated and reactivated BuddyPress now. bd-default was deactivated so I tried it with TwentyTwelve – and it works! Switched back to bp-default – doesn’t work. So it’s a BuddyPress theme issue.

Hello,

absolutely happy about the integration of bbPress 2 into BuddyPress groups I tested this out today. BuddyPress was already installed with group forums on, but not used yet. Installed bbPress completely fresh.
WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.7-bleeding-#6628, using bp-default theme.
I followed these steps: http://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/
and this guide: http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/

Result: I can create everything vom backend: Forums, topics, replies.
I can add topics in frontend to sitewide forums.
But I cannot create topics to a group forum, also in new groups from frontend – only from backend.
I found the bug here that Forum tab doesn’t show up at group creation. I don’t know if that matters – if I turn group forum on after creation in admin panel, the tab is there, with all forum empty messages and new topic form. And these group forums show up in the backend forums view under group forums, so the hierarchy is correct.

Sure this is a test / dev install, no live site. And there’s no hurry, but I’d like to test more out with your plugin 🙂
Is there something I did wrong until here? Or I could try?

thanks, Fee

Hello Again,

I am still waiting for a response. There is a problem in Translation file.

For example, here is a permalink for a string “Edit Forum”:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ar/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=19786&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=2008090

The string is translated but for some reason at my forums string it still appears in English.

I also want to mention that some of the strings displayed properly at my forums with it’s translation, but some strings still appear in English.

Currently I am using WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3

Hope now you have time to check the problem. I do not know if I’m doing something wrong but six weeks ago, the translation worked fine with no problems.

Thanks

[JuaninLAdP]

I double checked and they are registered as participants by default.

[Lynq]

Check what the default role people are being assigned inside Settings > Forums > Default User Role

Just to make sure they aren’t being registered as moderators or anything.

[Alexander]

Here we go, works: http://pastebin.com/mVsftBrH (copied from default widget)

[AllenPayne]

Managed to make it work using this 2 functions:

function remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date() {
return '';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date');

function remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date() {
return '';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date');

But now i’m thinking to do something else. Instead of removing the date i want to rename it to something like “View Post”. The freshness date already links to the last post by default so i just want to rename it.

Do you know how can i do this?

[Milan Petrovic]

When creating new user, bbPress role is not added. I don’t have any roles plugins or anything like that. I create new Subscriber user, and it doesn’t get bbPress role. I am using bbPress 2.2.3. Is there something needed to make this work, or should it work automatically?

EDIT: OK, there is a setting to allow this, and it is disabled by default for some reason.

EDIT 2: And no luck, even with this option ON, roles are still not assigned to new users.

[Jared Atchison]

By default I don’t think you’ll be able to simply swap them out. It’s certainly possible, but will take some elbow grease.

[Martin ( Martin_C )]

It sounds like it is using the default page.php template for forum pages. Did you create a page that make use of  templete page-front-forums.php? (I.e. not only uploaded the template file )

[Martin ( Martin_C )]

If you know CSS you can easily add some styles to your to style sheet. If you use the default templete, it could look like this:

.bbPress.forum .entry-title {

/*Styles to add icon image to the left of this element goes here*/

}

[Martin ( Martin_C )]

This can of course be easiely changed in the default template files, but I think the default template should change the link text “Created Replies” to “Posts” or “Created Posts”, or change the content to display replies only ( as I did on AppGlobe ).

In the default template the text in “in reply to:” (followed by the link to the topic) doesn’t make sence if it isn’t a reply.

[anthonyluth09]

@szerman It looks like your default forum slug is at /forums not support. Are you sure you have a page setup at /support?

[bruceleebee]

I’m having the exact same problem. And like ffalder I can’t code, but usually Google my way out of a problem. But this time no luck.

From my research it seems lots of people are having the same problem.

I think the main issue here is the breadcrumbs.

1) You create a custom ‘forum home page’ using short codes (or whatever means you like) to be your default page that users see as the homepage of your forum.

2) A user try’s to get back to the ‘forum home page’ using the breadcrumbs by clicking the text “forums” in the breadcrumbs.

3) Unfortunately it just redirects to the forum slug chosen in Settings, not your actual ‘forum home page’. And that forum slug is always defaulted to an archives page.

4) So setting that slug to the same as your ‘forum home page’ does not work, because woprdpress overrides your ‘forum home page’ created in step 1 and defaults it to an archives page.

Sorry for re-hashing this, but it’s sometimes better to make it a little clearer. At least in my own head anyway.

I don’t know how simple this is or not, but one solution that comes to mind is to have an option in Settings that lets you decide where the ‘forums’ text link in the breadcrumbs will point to. If you can choose to have it point to your ‘forum home page’ then all would be solved right?

This person suggested changing the breadcrumbs in the core of the plugin, but obviously it’s not very desirable since it’s changes to the core. And I also cannot find the file that they edited. Think it might have been a mod to an old version: http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/infocus-bbpress-20-root-slug

[Lynq]

There is not a default way to promote a topic into a post, that I know of anyway.

You will probably be looking for a plugin to do that.

[LabSecrets]

Making a child theme is beyond the scope of this forum, but there are plenty of good resources if you google “create a wordpress child theme”.  In a nutshell, you need “at least” to have a new folder, with a style.css file that references the proper header elements of your parent, including its name and the location of the parent theme’s style sheet.

If you are using the shortcode method, please try the default method instead, which is to change bbPress’s default root slug to something that is “NOT” an existing page (try “sitewide-forums” for example). This will allow you to keep your existing page / shortcut method index. Please show us what happens when you do this? (provide the URL)
