I just setup BBPress today and am excited to get it fully deployed, however I’m having an issue with the Forum root page: http://bricksofthedead.com/forums/

As you can see, it’s posting truncated information. Also, the page is not editable.

To try to fix this, I created a page with that slug and used the shortcode, but once I published it behaved the same way.

I changed the URL on my created page to http://bricksofthedead.com/forum/, and it is displaying correctly, the trouble is, I can’t get the breadcrumb navigation to link there instead. I tried changing the default slug to /forum, but that ended up displaying the broken page instead of the correctly working one.

This seems like a super simple thing to fix, but I’ve been struggling with it for a couple hours now. Any help?

I’m having a lot of issues getting bbpress to work properly. first thing I need for users to able to write a post with HTML capabilities, and for some reason that option is all blanked out for subscribing users, i’ve tried everything. Second I would like users to have the ability to edit their post, I had that option before and now its disappeared for what ever reason i am not sure. And when i did have the edit post option available to users, you could make the revision but you couldnt submit it because of some issue with the form. Its the same problem as if I was Admin and editing another users post. you just cant submit it. I am working off the default bbpress theme, if anybody can shed some light on the topic It would be much appreciated, im losing my mind here

Sorry. Wasnt sure what details you needed. Its a responsive Premium Theme by ‘Ollie Mcarthey’ called Gonzo:
http://themeforest.net/item/gonzo-clean-responsive-wp-magazine/2415788?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=OllieMcCarthy

It is used here on the site http://www.smokeradio.co.uk

And the forum link (As im yet to link to it publicly) is:
http://smokeradio.co.uk/forums/

The BBpress theme is set to compat; which is the default. I Presumed changing it to Twenty12 which is the other option (in the forum settings) mean the forums would lose the look and feel of the gonzo theme and make it like a whole other site. Part of the reason why I like BBpress was for its intergration esque style.

Thanks

Hi guys. Bbpress installed really well and integrated brilliantly. Very nice.

My problem though is when creating a new topic and hit submit, I am taken to a blank page (as in no content at all). Now I have changed all my permalinks back to default and back again and to many other variations – no joy, even on the default. It seems to happen when the page is submitted so I am guessing now that it might be something to do with the $_POST not being handled right. I get no error with WP_DEBUG set to true (which it currently is) and if I just refresh the page it loads the forum up like nothing has happend.

my error_log file has nothing in it since the 5th of July.

If you goto http://www.fluffygamers.co.uk/forums feel free to have a go. 🙂

Thanks very much for reading!

As the title says…is this an option/shortcode in bbp-theme-compat?

Or do I need to create a page template and use some of the functions contained in page-forum-statistics.php?

hello, I have problems to recognize the new theme bbpress I uploaded to the server, I have installed wordpress 3.4.1 and use the theme goodnews. by default appears to me bbpress bbpress compact and TwentyTen theme.

I downloaded other themes but does not recognize the dropdown menu of settings bbpress

what other options are there?

[Pippin Williamson]

Sounds like it’s most likely a theme conflict. I’d suggest you try switching to the default theme for a moment to confirm.

[Pippin Williamson]

Do the default forum pages show up fine? Look in Settings > Forums and check what the forum base is. For example, if your forum base is “forums”, does yoursite.com/forums work?

Is there anywhere I can change the WordPress theme’s page template that bbPress uses for all forum pages? Here’s what I’m talking about:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18187962/this.jpg

I need to use the template “page without sidebar” rather than the default template.

The goal is to get rid of the sidebar here and expand the forum to the width of the page: Forum

Thesis, and potentially other themes, call filters on the_content in the header. In the case of Thesis this is done to generate page meta etc.

The problem is that this causes bbp_replace_the_content() to fire twice (or more) and on subsequent calls the $first_run variable in the _WP_Editors class is already set, the settings therefore reset to default as the array_merge() is not run, the editor.css stylesheet is not loaded and only a very basic and broken visual editor in rendered in page.

This can be worked around very simply at the beginning of bbp_replace_the_content() with the following check:

if ( !in_the_loop() )
return $content;

That worked, thanks! 🙂 Well this is the default twentyten CSS so it is missing by default.

ctekmusic – I found a way. This plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-new-default-avatar/ worked for me! 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

You should export the entire phpBB database using from the current hosting provider and import it into your new hosting provider, remote migrations are not supported. Each of your hosting providers should have some documentation on how to import and export the MySQL database. You will not need to instal phpBB on your site to import the data, you only need the actual database.

This should also help https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

The ‘default’ phpBB MySQL table prefix is “phpbb_”

Yeah I had tried that, I had it at “Gravatar Logo” and then I changed it to “Mystery Man” but it just stayed blank.

Just now I tried to change it again to one of the (Generated) avatars and what do you know, it worked.

This must mean that the mystery man and gravatar logos are both missing from where ever they are called from ?

Thank you ctekmusic! By the way, is there a way I can upload my own default avatar for new members ? I don’t really like the (Generated) ones that I have to choose from.

[ctekmusic]

This may sound obvious but have you tried changing the default avatar in /wp-admin ?

Go to Settings ->Discussion then change it to something else and check the members page again.

[Ian M]

When new members register on my forum there is no default avatar displayed – just an ugly blank box with a missing image icon in it. Please help me to figure out how to set a default avatar.

I have searched for an answer but couldn’t make sense of anything I found. You can see the problem here: http://residentevilsix.net/members/

Hi,

I have bbpress plugin in a WordPress 3.4.2 MU site, with a single instance in the root and /forums. I have a very basic child theme of TwentyEleven which makes some header and CSS tweaks.

Once I activated BBPress, I found that it is displayed using the sidebar. This crushes the forum to the left, so I wanted to get rid of it for the forum page. I read that by default BBPress will use the page.php from the TwentyEleven theme, and to copy that to my child theme, remove the call to the sidebar and name it bbpress.php would override it. Well, for a start, the TwentyEleven page.php does NOT contain the sidebar. After searching the filesystem I found that sidebar-page.php does, so I copied that to my child theme folder and named it bbpress.php, removed the get_sidebar() call, and also set the template name as Template Name: Forum Template in the bbpress.php file.

It did not work. My forum is still showing a sidebar. It does not seem to be using the bbpress.php file at all.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to get BBPress to display without the sidebar when using MU and a child theme of TwentyEleven?

As I said, my child theme if very simple. It is literally a header.php and styles.css, and I have now added bbpress.php. What do I need to do to get BBPress to use my bbpress.php template?

Can I add that a LOT of the helpful-looking links on here lead to 404 pages, which really hasn’t helped in trying to figure this out. It would be great if those could be fixed up somehow?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress on my site at http://www.thebridesboudoir.com/forums/

I’m in the middle of tweaking the templates now after copying them all to my Theme folder. I mainly copied the opening and closing tags from my current themes full width template into each file or am doing thatm, but testing when I go to the main forums, everything is thrown an inch or so to the right? It’s fine when I click on a Post to read te post details.

I have a few tweaks to make yet to the styling e.g. the post titles are too small, but could someone tell me why the main forum look would be skewif?

The other question is, what is Keymaster and how do I hide that. I prefer not to have the admin label in peoples face when I’m using the forums. I assume Key Master is another word for Admin and I don’t like the sound of it. Can I change that and where?

I note on some forums that you can create user roles and wondered if thats possible with bbPress and where that would be changed also?

Thanks for help in advance.

I like the way the forum is mixing in with my site with just a few changes here and there already. I’m surprised I’ve got this far as I’m hopeless with theming etc. Initially I installed and it took my side bar template as default and had sidebar featured and I preferred a full width forum theme, so copied the files to my theme directory. I’d be grateful for the help or hints on how to fix the front page to get it in line.

Hello all,

I’m trying to change the link (pagination) colours of the default theme twentyten. However, I can’t find any css entry what so ever. Could someone point me in the right direction? Still a bit of a newbie with website editing 😛

Thanks!

In my imagination, it’s just the new default thing. Let’s get it working first, see how dramatic it is, and go from there.

[John James Jacoby]

Should make it part of the default theme. Thought there was a ticket already; if not, make one and feel free to patch it up. 🙂

[Charles St-Pierre]

Text domains need to be loaded before bbp_loaded:18. At least before bbp_login_notices is called (hooked on bbp_loaded:default (10? I think)) The notices do not get translated. Or is it bbp_login_notices which should be hooked to something else than bbp_loaded? For now, I did `add_action( ‘bbp_loaded’, ‘bbp_login_notices’, 20 );“ so it get done after the text domain is active.

Happy to contribute.`

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to manually change the parent page of the forums/thread postings. It defaults to the blog page. The reason why this matters is 1, the breadcrumbs don’t necessarily have to go back to the home page and 2. The menu highlights the parent page when in the page so that it will have “forums” highlighted when in any part of the forums. However, after you leave the forum splash page aka forum listing then the blog tab highlights because it’s the parent page instead of forums being the parent.

Thanks for any help / advice you may have! Hopefully I described this well enough as I can’t provide links since this is proprietary.

I need the system to send email notifications to all users upon new topic publish, this should be the default behavior and users can then turned it off. but as default each user always get email notification for any post on any category. my forum is only for registered users and is small.

[Jin_ls]

Hello Sonja, thank you for your reply.

When I selected the default theme there were no widgets at all (they all disappeared).

Anyway, thank you for help.

Problem still not sloved…, anybody?
