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]

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.

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.

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?

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.
http://www.fosspedia.com/forums/

[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)

(The missing text when editing a reply is already patched for the next release)

The theme on this site is a custom theme, though with a little css work it can be done. Meaning there is nothing on this site that is ‘ultra’ custom which would require difficult programming levels. Pretty much a basic understanding of css and a little bit of html and you can easily get it to look like this. But NO, out of the box it does not look like this.

[Gary3000]

This has been asked several times, and the answer was that it’s a custom theme they created just for bbPress.org, and that it may at some point in the future be released publicly.

[mrmonkey3319]

I love the layout: http://bbpress.org/forums/ The forums on the left, and a big Latest Topics are on the right. Tags and such in the left too. I keep reinstalling my bbPress but no matter what I do, I cannot get my forums to show up like this. See here:

http://covenantvoice.com/forums/

I just want to fix the layout. Any idea on what I’m doing wrong? I’m using the very latest bbPress, 2.1.2.

Unfortunately, I have spent weeks trying to figure out this issue myself.

The problem is bbPress, WordPress, and WordPress multisite don’t communicate well with registration. bbPress 2 appears to call wp-signup inline in the page.

This would be typically be a good thing, unfortunately, WordPress multisite’s registration is the problem. It was based around WordPress.com not the typical site/network owner’s needs.

My fix, which admittedly, I’m still implementing myself, was to create a custom wp-signup.php, do a 301 redirect to the WordPress wp-signup, and drop the wp-signup in a custom theme folder, which itself is designed to just serve the signup form.

It’s still far from perfect. When someone is finished signing up, I basically have to present them with a menu that says “you’re signed up, here’s a list of our sites, please click back to the one you originally came from.” There is no breadcrumb support in Multisite to return a user, after registration, to the multisite site that they originated from, it always by default drops them to the default site.

In the end, a custom theme at least lets me control the process, and a custom wp-signup lets me present users with a menu of my sites to chose from, in the hopes they will be able to spring back to the site they came from, and then be registered.

Can’t fault bbPress for this one, the only way I could see bbPress fix this, would be to completely replicate and track the wp-signup flow in-plugin. I think that would be a great idea, but would take tons of effort. The benefit, of course, would be fine-grained control, and remove the need to do the dozens of hours of effort I’ve had to do (and can’t easily post/replicate for others… not to mention constantly having to patch multiple files during each WordPress update).

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.x will not email the admin by default whenever a post is made and I dont think this is possible without a plugin (I dont know of a plugin that does this either for bbPress 2.x)

[Shmoo]

Step 4:

The code is a bit messy.
Here is the code in Pastebin.

http://pastebin.com/0iA4ReV9

Change the default to the NEW and you’re done.

[Shmoo]

Alright guys i’ve got a solution,

Please note, i have ZERO PHP skills so this probably isn’t the best solution on earth but i think it’s a good work-around to get the job done ‘easy’..

If some PHP developer reads this topic and thinks, damn this guy is going crazy with all his copy-/pasting stuff please feel free to modify this code..

What did i do:
First i opened up the Core template file of bbPress where the Breadcrumbs function is made.
I have copied the code and pasted inside a new PHP document, made some simple HTML changes before and after the urls and called this new template file inside my Theme’s functions.php

Last i called my custom Breadcrumb PHP code just to make sure my code is loaded and not the default bbPress code..

Here you go.
When your done it should look like this structure..
http://i46.tinypic.com/33z93lg.png

Nothing too fancy but the only difference, it’s made by a HTML List , like it should be in 2012 because a Breadcrumbs is a navigation and not just 5 URLs behind each other.
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#breadcrumbs

Step 1:
Paste all this code into a new empty PHP document and call it breadcrumbs.php
When your done drop this file into your Themes include folder.
wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / inc / * here *
http://pastebin.com/bWdPEXa5

Step 2:
Open your theme functions.php file and add this code to it.
http://pastebin.com/nJ9pZinq

Step 3:
Open the bbPress or WordPress stylesheet and add those few lines of CSS to it.
http://pastebin.com/KyPuknTw

Step 4:
Inside the bbPress template files you often find this line of PHP code, it calls the default Breadcrumb function:

Change that line to this one and your done..

__( '', 'bbpress' ), ) ); ?.>

• without the dots before and after the -> .?.

Hope this helps..

[Shmoo]

What can i do to overwrite a bbPress Core function and develop my own function..

Let say i want to overwrite the default bbPress breadcrumb tag.

I found the Core code inside a Core-template and i pasted this code inside a new PHP document changed all the bbp_ names of all functions to bbp_shmoo_ > Saved it.

Loaded this new file from the inc. folder into my themes functions.php with the require_once tag..

Change the PHP code inside my forum template from bbp_breadcrumb(); to bbp_shmoo_breadcrumb(); but this doesn’t work, why does it break my theme ?

I need a before_link and after_link array.

This is what a breadcrumb looks like, by default made with a List because it’s a navigation.

@JJJ

Please do the people on bbPress.org a huge favor and delete all the fancy stuff in this comment-form, just load the default wordpress.ORG comment-form it’s huge and only support a few needed options. This is getting ridicules. People have to be an acrobat to post some code on this forums.

I can’t copy-/paste @mattsimo code because of this forum-software.

Safari + Firefox it doesn’t copy the the selected code i needed.

[Shmoo]

I’ve got almost the same problem as @Anointed here, no before and after option..

Sorry to say but this is typically WordPress development they output Page navigations in < .a href's.. just one after the other and you can only hope there is enough classes to list and style them properly.

I found this problem with WordPress the first time when i tried to apply Twitter's Bootstrap Page navigation to a WordPress theme.
This is how a page-navigation should look like anno 2012 in default HTML. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#pagination

not like this..

        <a href="#">page 1</a>
        <a href="#">page 2</a>
        <a href="#">page 3</a>

Actually no.
Event though it’s not maybe intuitive… the point is that you are creating and setting the default “slug” for bbPress to use, and then this slug needs a menu item in order for someone to point to it (obviously they could type in the url directly, but no one would know that).

In sum: You don’t need to create a page. You should “not” copy the bbPress files to the forum folder… what you should do is:

1) Visit forums page in bbPress link of dashboard and set the sitewide-forums slug to whatever you want;

2) Use this slug in the appearance/menu creator to add this slug to any menu you wish (primary navigation, whatever…) with the format of: “/slug”. So, if your domain was “http:/something.com” and your sitewide forum slug was “sitewide-forums”, you would create a new menu item using “/sitewide-forums” or if you prefer absolute urls “http://something.com/sitewide-forums&#8221;
