Ok, sorry for that… Still, im am new to all this. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. But what exactly should i be looking for in the css code? I tried testing the default bbpress theme and the problem is not there… So yes, this is a theme problem… :/

Is bbPress language defined by WPLANG in wp-config?

I would like my bbPress language to different from my WP language.

I use WPML and have a multilingual site. For several reasons, I have set my WP Default language as English.

I wish to deploy bbPress as a Hungarian language forum. I will not have forums in other languages.

What do I do?

Hi, funny thing is I currently want to add sidebar for my bbpress forum plugin. It alway shows the wordpress sidebar!

Anyway, to remove sidebar use the fullwidth forum like this: http://www.ytecongcong.com/forums/
Just follow
1. Clone page.php of your WP themes and rename it to forum.php
2. use BP Tweaks WP plugins to choose forum instead of page as default
3. Open forum.php, remove the php code content php get_sidebar()

Hi! My layout is like this:
[Category 1]
[Forum 1]
[Forum 2]

[Category 2]
[Forum 3]
.
.
As you know, bbPress’ default layout is to fetch the Category description, not the Forum descriptions. I’ve tweaked the bbp_list_forums function, so now I want to show the forum descriptions instead. But when I add the_content() to my loop-single-forum.php it fetches the category description.

I think I must add the_content() in my_bbp_list_forums, but don’t know where or how.

The code can be found here (Kudos to Lynq): http://pastebin.com/GLhCHYze

And what I’m after graphically: http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu216/DramaticBaby/forum_description.jpg

How can I make the_content() fetch the forum descriptions? Or is there a bbp_get_sub_forum_description() function somewhere? 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Hang of for a day or two, the ‘default’ theme in bbPress 2.2 uses lists and will be released very soon.

Thank you! To fix this I changed the settings > forums “Theme Packages” setting back to default “twentyten” and the tinymce editor is back.

[dprundle]

Hello! I just want to first thank everyone for this great plugin forum.

I have enabled “Enable Fancy Editor” in settings > forums , however my tinymce editor does not show. I simply see the generic HTML editor. Is there a known fix for this problem?

I’m using the default wordpress twenty eleven theme. Thanks!

I installed wordpress and the bbpress plugin from built-in plugin installer and made a forum which I previewed , which was fine during preview, but after I published it, the forum returns HTTP error 404 on the forum itself and when viewing the preview. This is my second installation with the same problem. A forum on my previous install showed up after a while, but the others didn’t. After following advice I changed the permalinks back to default and all the forums came with the same HTTP error 404. My website structure is “…com/worpress/index.php/forums/forum/…” for some reason.

OK in the online documentation it mentions the settings for ‘Default user role’ and ‘Auto role’ – where on earth are those settings because I can’t find them in the forum settings.

[kausikc]

I guess that no one has seen this issue. I have this problem with the setting “bbPress Default (bbp-theme-compat)” when WordPress theme is anything other than twenty ten (bbpress). Just nothing shows up with other WP themes.

[kausikc]

I installed bbPress 2.1.3 on WordPress 3.4.2. In the settings page, I see the following:

Theme Packages

How your forum content is displayed within your existing theme.
Current Package
– bbPress Default (bbp-theme-compat)
– Twenty-ten bbPress

If I select the 1st option, forum page comes up nicely, none of the existing forums show up. If I select the 2nd options, existing forums show up, but the layout is completely broken.

I am using custom WordPress theme. What am I doing wrong?

[enihongo]

Correction:

My current theme’s structure seems like follow..

By default BuddyPress templates use this HTML structure: — to be deleted.

[HEADER]
[SIDEBAR CONTENT]
[PAGE CONTENT]
[FOOTER]

[enihongo]

I am trying to set up the bbforum in my theme.

I tried hard to go for the Step Three to adjust my theme to cope with the default BuddyPress templates, using this HTML structure:

[HEADER]
[PAGE CONTENT]

[SIDEBAR CONTENT]
[FOOTER]

My current theme’s structure seems like follow..

By default BuddyPress templates use this HTML structure:

[HEADER]
[SIDEBAR CONTENT]
[PAGE CONTENT]
[FOOTER]

Therefore, I’d like to use the alternative method to set up the theme, in adding following files, copied from header.php, footer.php, and sidebar.php from my purchased theme : header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php, and footer-buddypress.php.

After this, it seems I need to modify the above x-buddypress.php files.. yet.. I have no idea of what to do here.. ’cause, these 3 files are parts of a page. Should I modified those index.php file in the forum folders?..

Could anyone help me to solve the problem? or.. any suggestion, please.

[Anointed]

If you use the default WordPress theme twentyten, or twentyeleven, you will see that bbPress lines up perfectly with the sidebars. There is no way that bbPress can work perfectly with all themes on the market as everyone builds themes differently.

That is up to the theme developer to get straightened out For the most part it is usually just a few css tweaks and very easy to do. So I would ask the author who built the theme. If he/she is unable/unwilling to fix it, then post a link to your site here and maybe someone will find the time to help out. There is NO WAY for anyone to help without seeing your actual site.

[markramos83]

By default, bbPress will validate new topic fields and reload the page with errors, but all content is lost. This is pretty frustrating to a user that has entered a long post, but forgot to enter a topic title. Is there any easy workaround for this, whether it be PHP, jQuery, etc?

[kannued]

Reread your message @netweb. I also installed the bbpress plugin, ver 2.1.3. It appears it may have worked, see below. It still says I have no forum parents, even though I have 5 forums. I can’t see anything when I go to visit site, as I still have 1 post as in the fresh default of WP. Doesn’t the bbpress plugin also convert the theme that I used into WP? Or now do I have to build my old bbpress theme into WP?

HI There

I Don’t have Jetpack installed. For me, the problem appears to be related to the 2011 theme.

The steps as I recall them.
1. Brand-new installaiton of WP 3.4.2. This installation is using the 2011 theme by default. I have not done any changes to the theme.
2. Added some pages, changed some basic config (time zone etc)
3. Installed bbpress via the Add new plug-in dialogue in WP

When I returned to the pages added in step 2, there is no menu bar in the editor.
New pages have a menu bar.
When I return to the newly added pages to edit them,

If I change the theme to bbpress 2010 or the vanilla 2010, the problem does not occur.

I think I have enough to proceed with my installation.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Ian

Using Twenty Tweleve wordpress theme, the default compat theme the html and visual tabs are to the left and if clicked they create and tags, there’s no background behind the toolbar. If I click the link button, the popup shows up but it looks as if all the CSS for it is missing and I see constant loading icons. If I disable the “fancy” toolbar, I don’t see a toolbar or buttons at all. If I switch to Twenty Ten forum theme, then the toolbar shows.

** Update, looks like a conflict with Jetpack, works fine if I disable it.

I have the exact same thing. I disabled all plugins and tried different sidebars (default, showcase, custom) all are pushed to the bottom right side of the page, below the forum window. I desperately need a solution.

Using bbconvertor, from bbpress 1.1 to WordPress 3.4.2. Starting with a default WordPress, fresh startup. Started bbconvertor after filling in the settings on wp. During conversion, said I had no forums, but I have five forums. See below. Said conversion complete. Told me to do a recount, click here, which I did. Then it said “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” So I recounted on the bbpress dashboard. But that didn’t change things. Would it be better to use import forums?

Hello!

How to make bbPress look from default layout (just after installation) to
like this:

Thanks for help, im newbie.

Greetings!

[sidhvijay]

same issue here. How to fix it.

[Stephen Edgar]

This markdown/code plugin here on bbpress.org has got to go or get fixed 🙁

In theory by adding lines 14 to 26 to ‘somewhere’ eg. the footer as you suggest should work.

With all that said though it should be working as is so if that doesn’t there might be another underlying issue that is stopping the pagination working on your site

Hmmmmm… What about pagination-replies.php?

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look in /wp-content/yourtheme/bbpress/loop-replies.php and make sure you have the following lines included which will then include the pagination links.

You should see respectively at the top (Trac Source)

and at the bottom of that code (Trac Source)
