My fix:
In plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/bbp-metaboxes.php function bbp_reply_metabox at the //topics section I increased the value in ‘numberposts’ => ’5000′
The default limit of 250 was too low for my site.
I want my forms to only be visible to a certain membership level, and I am using the Member Wishlist Plugin.
Everytime I select the box asking to protect the content for a certain membership level, and then i select the one it should be available to, and then click save – NOTHING HAPPENS! It keeps returning to a default of some kind – making the it unprotected and not for any specific membership level.
I am really frustrated. Those options are working for everything else, just not the forum.
Second:
I am a newbie at all of this – I can’t seem to figure out how to put the forums into a specific PAGE so that I can include it on a customized menu.
Can some please help me out here 🙂
I am using a GENESIS framework, with child theme “landscape” – using the latest version of bbPress, and my website is http://www.wivesofjannahcommunity.com
I try with the default buddypress theme and the same.
shortcode don’t work -> [bbp-single-forum id=44] http://rplayers.com/forums/
but this shortcode works : [bbp-topic-index]
if I make an other page http://rplayers.com/forums2/ all shortcode works
So I go to settings > forums > Archives slug > forums base :: change forums by forums2
but http://rplayers.com/forums2/ shortcode don’t work
Need help … :-/
Copy
plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-default/bbpress/loops-single-reply.php
to
[your_theme_directory]/bbpress/loops-single-reply.php
Edit line 27 to your liking.
You will need to create a counter. Something like http://pastie.org/5021188 would be a start. Though it will not take pagination into play, which will be something you must write.
I think I found a fix…
In Settings > Forums, I deleted the ‘Forums base’ and ‘Topics base’ fields (leaving them empty) and Saved Changes. The page reloaded, repopulated those fields with the default values (forums, topics), and now it all works. Strange but true.
I have some more information–I hope that someone can help me.
The problem is to swap the default behavior and make return give a br tag and
shift return give a p tag. The TinyMCE wiki http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration
seems to say that is the way to do it is by setting forced_root_block to false.*
However, when I tried that using the Advanced TinyMCE Configuration plugin by Andrew Ozz , I found:
If I use it to set
forced_root_block to false,
nothing changes.
If I set forced_root_block to true, which I expected
to do nothing, it breaks the editor:
The buttons don't work, and anything that I type into
the Visual editor gets wiped out when I switch to html.
If I set forced_root_block to just a space,
when I typed in
test
test
test
test
test
test
it produces the following html:
< >< >test
<!-- -->
test
test
test
test
test
which displays as
test
test
test
test
test
test
after submitting.
Finally, if I set forced_root_block to div,
when I typed in
test
test
test
test
test
test
it produces
test
test
test
test
test
test
which displays as
test
test
test
test
test
test
and there seems to be no way to produce a break.
I hope that this data is useful. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Did y’all find an easier way to modify the sidebar? I want to keep the sidebar, but it is not registering with the theme I am using and pulling up some default sidebar. I don’t want to have to go in and edit each one. I’d appreciate hearing what y’all did.
Hi Pippin, great work on this plugin so far. Thank you. I read through the code and tested it out. The plugin works great, and I commend you for your hard work on this. I wanted to provide a bit of feedback in case you are planning any further revisions, just to weigh in with my 2c: 1) I realize you needed somewhere to hook the “mark as read/unread” link, and by default in bbp_theme_compat no action hook is provided in a topic header. Hooking it onto the subscribe link wedges it between subscribe/favorite and is overall a bit awkward for templating. I’m not sure what a better default solution would be, but personally I felt the need to unhook this and manually place the toggle button somewhere more appealing. 2) A standalone function to display a loop of unread topics would be great. show_unread_topics() is purpose built for the bbpress user profile, but under many circumstances users might want to call this list elsewhere (if we are using BuddyPress profiles for example). Personally I created a “View Unread Topics” page that functions similarly to the “Recent Topics” archive. Anyways, including a function for just the unread topics loop (with pagination) would be a nice addition for template flexibility purposes. 3) For a site with thousands of topics, is having that bulky a “_bbp_mar_read_ids” entry in meta a concern? 4) The plugin serves a nice function of allowing a user to track whether or not he/she has looked at topics which are posted. However, it seems to me that full “view unread posts” functionality would entail clearing resetting the “read” flag when the topic is updated with a new reply. What about saving each “read” ID to meta as: post_id?num_replies where num_replies is the number of replies to the topic when the user marked it as read. When a topic is called you can explode out how many replies it had when the user first marked it. If the topic now has more replies than when it was marked, you can override the “read” flag and reset it to unread. Probably not a very elegant solution, but I think what most users would be interested in is being able to generate a list of threads with unread content, not necessarily just unread topics. Anyways, thanks very much for your work on this. I’ll be keeping an eye on how this project develops. Andrew
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?
Sounds like it’s most likely a theme conflict. I’d suggest you try switching to the default theme for a moment to confirm.
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.
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.
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.
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!
