I’m running the latest version of bbpress with a BP 1.5 installation. Love, love bbpress!!!

I’m using a combination of bbpress central forums and BP group forums. I was having issues getting the BP group forums to work after installing/uninstalling bbpress, so I deactivated the BP group forums and planned on just using the bbpress forums. Then I saw a nifty little selection in bbpress to “let BP Groups have their own forums” so I turned that on and got group forums back for BP! Back on track and cooking with gas! (Or so I thought.)

Everything works great on the bbpress forums side, except for Favoriting (yes new verb) and Subscribing to topics, (well they work if I right-click the links and open in a new tab or window–not a biggie right now).

The two biggest issues I have are on the BP groups forums side. (1) I get the following error when trying to view a topic:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/content/46/7943846/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 168”. (Funny enough the Favorite and Subscribe options work really well on this broken screen.) I can post new topics just fine.

(2) When I post a topic in a BP Group forum, it shows up in the main activity feed and in my personal activity feed, but not on the activity feed for the group.

I’m using Suffusion along with the Suffusion BP and Suffusion bbpress Packs, but the issues persist even when I use the default BP theme. I deactivated my plugins one by one just to rule them out and no change in the result.

Reactivating Group Forums on the BP side and selecting “use existing bbpress install” gives me 404 errors and no BP forums at all. Don’t know what to do. Well I could just not use the BP groups forums. OR I could sledgehammer the whole install and start from scratch. Would like to avoid either of those options if possible though.

By default, you can target bbPress specific styling using the #bbpress-forums ID.

I’m having some moderation issues on my site…

a) At least for some users, EVERYTHING they post is going to the moderation queue, despite settings both within WordPress (Settings–>Discussion) (which allows comments to be posted once there’s something approved by that author), within a plugin called “bbPress Moderation” (which allows topics and replies to be posted once there’s something approved by that author).

b) is there an easier way for an admin to publish topics and replies that go into moderation? Right now I have to manually “edit” each item and then click “publish”, which seems to take like 3 steps longer than WordPress’s default comment moderation system (where you can either bulk approve comments or where you can click “approve” instead of “edit” and “trash.”

I’ve tried turning off all plugins, toggling settings, and so forth, and nothing works. Please help! I’m running latest installations of WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress… GEnesis/Prose. Thank you.

Congrats on the 2.1 update, it rocks. But I do have one minor needle request to make concerning the exposure of user bio information. Even when there is none.

The Symptom:

“Hey Admin dude, I may be incognito and unremarkable, but why draw attention to me like this?”

Cause:

Not checking if the description field in the user profile is empty (user-details.php).

Twentyten’s native bio box code is wrapped in a conditional that calls a hookable function, get_the_author_meta( ‘description’ ). Twentyten defaults to skipping the bio box completely if the user profile ‘description’ field is empty (on both single posts and author archives).
And thanks to the hook, the author of a child theme can also prevent display of this stuff based on any criteria they choose — like, author bio info is shared with logged-in users only.

The bbPress function bbp_get_displayed_user_field() isn’t currently hookable :(, but this whole thing is fixable with 3 or 4 lines of code in a couple of files. It’s not so much a bug as a lapse in coding consistency. Whatever, it’s busting my chops right now. If I didn’t know better, I’d ask for my money back 😉

Could this be put right in the next update? Makes for better consistency with WordPress, imho 🙂

Meanwhile, in other bbPress core-hacking news…

‘I also have a needle about the way author URL construction is similarly unhookable, but that’s for another thread’

look i insert that : https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/pl/default?page=2 that’s is correct translate in my language , but don’t work when i put file in lanuage file it’s nothing hange :/

When the converter gets to the topics, it stalls and when I check the Apache error log I see this:
[Thu Jul 19 07:46:32 2012] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225725 — Restarting.
[Thu Jul 19 07:46:33 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) PHP/5.3.9 configured — resuming normal operations

Same with default settings or 1000 rows setting. It did about 500 topics and then stalled. It doesn’t look like it’s because of memory, I have 4GB and a 64-bit system (doing this locally). Any tips?

[matt_sich]

Hey! I got it to work! I just made a custom plugin with the BBP_Default class that you had in those public functions and just changed

$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, $defaults, 'list_forums' );

to

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults, 'list_forums' );

to make it work with the wordpress plugin version of bbp.

You should definitely submit this as a plugin!

[Lynq]

No you will never need to touch the core code.

You put these functions inside bbpress-functions.php then you can call these functions inside your template files. like: BBP_Default::custom_bbp_list_forums();

Inside loop-forum-single.php you change where it is calling the function to the new custom function.

If you need any more help let me know, good luck!

Hi John,

I work on deep customisation of bbpress (http://demo.villagora.fr/forums/forum/forum-thematique/) and I’m trying to update bbpress 2.0.3 to 2.1 !
So I’ve copied the contents of the “bbpress-theme-compat” in my bbp-theme (it’s a child of my current theme) for to modify bbpress templates / css / images…
But after the update, my child theme does not overwrite the default bbp-theme-compat files, and I don’t understand why ?
Can you explain me how use “add theme support” for overwrite properly bbpress template file in my child them, with bbpress 2.1?

Thanks in advanced.

[Stephen Edgar]

Indeed it does look good, and looks good in Chrome 22 😉

Along with Chrome as my default browser I do all my ‘dev’ stuff in ‘Chrome Canary’ which allows for a ‘side-by-side install’ so that I can run Canary and Chrome Stable at the same time.

JJJ,

Is it not possible to copy the “bbp-theme-compat” theme, removing the sidebars there, and then uploading it as a child theme? I like the default style and just want to remove the sidebars without reworking the entire “bbp-twentyten” CSS.

If so, how/where would I tweak bbp-theme-compat theme to remove the sidebars?

Seems to me removing sidebars should be an option in the bbPress admin no?

[John James Jacoby]

Most likely the theme compat setting is set to Default, and not Twenty Ten. Swap back to the table based layout in Settings > Forums, and report back.

[DNBrawler]

It’s calling JQuery scripts–the only one I could find is this one:wp_enqueue_script( 'bp-js', BP_PLUGIN_URL . '/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
I tried to implement the topic.js many times It’s just not working :/

[AAShepAA]

I am owner/Admin, but I cannot post a topic. bbPress says I do not have permission to do so. I also signed in as a test user and still not able to post.

I have made sure I turned off all plugins to test. Then turned back on only a few. I have checked and made sure that “Member” is the default “registered user” and the the Member profile had post topic capabilities still no go..

I switched to default 2010 theme ands still a no go – I am in but forum says I am logged out. In each theme – the login does not show me as Admin or Owner.

My traffic has slowed way down because of this and I just found it! Still have lots of people signing up but it appears that no one can post. I suspect user roles issue, but I have changed everyone to “Member” and still a no go.

I am desperate! Any help is appreciated. Shep

Switching to a default theme is a good place to start when trying to track down errors!

Glad you got it sorted 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

Most likely it’s because the theme uses .reply for comment styling somewhere, conflicting with bbPress replies. Seen this happen in a few places already. Could also be that your theme compat setting got switched to the default instead of the old TwentTen; switching it back to the table based layout might help.

[DNBrawler]

I’m using a template to customize the number of posts on one of my pages. My default number of forum posts on one single page is 6. I want 15 to appear on a page so after noticing in the statistics template that the popular topics can show more than than the default setting I ventured to apply it to a single forum called from the forum id. Here’s the code:

15, ‘post_parent’ => bbp_get_forum_id(568), ‘show_stickies’ => false ) ) ) : ?>

My problem: The forums are only showing 16 unfortunately. My question: How do I limit the number of posts on individual pages?

[EJMorges]

HI,

My my name is E.J. and I’m enjoying your product!

After updating to that latest version of WordPress and bbPress, I began to experience truncations in of replies to the topic threads in my forums. Everything was working well before the upgrades but now it appears that it’s not calling the proper CSS styles to the reply areas after the initial post, perhaps there’s a conflict with the theme styles. . . I’m not sure.

If there’s any advice you can offer I would greatly appreciate it.

…………………………….

Here are the stats to my site::

WordPress: 3.4.1

bbPress: 2.1 – bbPres Default -/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat

(Theme) Custom Community: 1.819.1 by Themekraft

Thank you for your time!

[selise]

thanks jjj.

here’s what i needed to do, in case anyone else is interested.

1. install bbpress and wptouch pro plugins
2. in bbpress settings, under theme packages, choose the bbpress
   default – bbp-theme-compat
3. create a wp page forums and use [bbp-forum-index] short code for a
   forum index page
4. in wptouch admin make sure that both “Enable ‘topic’ post type” and
   “Enable ‘reply’ post type” are NOT selected (thanks to emilio at
   bravenewcode)
5. put a copy of bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras/archive-forum.php into
   the active wptouch child theme iphone (etc) directory(ies).
6. tweak style

i have no idea why a copy of archive-forum.php was needed in the wptouch theme as i didn’t need to copy any of the bbpress files into my desktop theme (twentyten child) and i didn’t copy any of the other bbpress files into the wptouch theme. but at least it seems to be working with a minimum of fuss.

[Prometheus Fire]

Not that I really wanted to be dramatic with my thread topic…

Updated to 2.1 today and all that ajax functions in my activity stream stopped working (tabs, load more, filters, etc).

I thought it might be my theme at first, but I switched to BP default and the problem was still there. I then rolled BBPress back to v2.0.3 and the problem vanished. Back in my theme with 2.0.3 and all is okay.

Anything special about the new BP integration that might mess up the activity stream? Has anyone else had this problem? Any thoughts on this?

[Lynq]

Hmm,

It looks as though most of the styles are coming from
/blog-wp-content/themes/bbpress-2012/style.css

It is also loading
/blog-wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.1

But, and this is the difference I think with bbpress.org and your site:
https://bbpress.org/blog-wp-content/themes/bbpress-2012/bbpress.css – doesn’t exist, so I am guessing it is getting all of the styles from style.css but because bbpress.css doesn’t exist it defaults back to the plugins bbpress.css

[John James Jacoby]

that appears to come from the plugins default folder and not from your RainCloud theme.

I don’t see where it says it’s being loaded from at all. It could be bbpress.css located in your current theme.

[Clay]

Check this screenshot. In FF, just right-click on the table cell and “Inspect Element:”
http://www.gameaid.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/screen.png

Maybe I’m off my rocker here, but that appears to come from the plugins default folder and not from your RainCloud theme.

[Clay]

I did the following today:

• Install a fresh version of wordpress and bbpress plugin.

• Copy all files (except style.css) from …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to my child theme folder

• Modify bbpress-functions.php to include add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

bbpress is still using the bbpress.css file from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css

I’ve been tinkering with it for hours and I cannot get it to start using my child theme’s css files by default. They properties always are overwritten by the bbpress.css file in the plugins folder.

Ideas?

Oh power to you for being so incredibly helpful, Lynq.
I tested it out on my local machine and that works beautifully – THANK YOU!

Interestingly enough, all that other stuff didn’t make much difference, other than turn the brackets and commas that are the counts after the sub-forums into numbers. I reverted back to the default loop-single-forum.php to return to the correctly format.

Just waiting for the cache CSS to deploy but it is going to work now.
You’ve been extremely patient and instructive so again, heaps of praise to you, mate.
