I’m not sure what the problem is…

It looks that way because there is not enough room. Topics/Posts/Freshness are being pushed together because you are not giving the forum enough space.

Or.. are you talking about the design of the new default theme? If that’s the case, I can’t help.

Not sure what you are meaning… I have custom WP template written from scratch. And I would like to add bbpress 2.1 template to it. I did what I described above just to see if any result outcomes. I expected to see header-body-footer forum screen (based on my knowledge of template packed in bbp-theme-compat directory). My custom WP template uses header – left sidebar – body – right sidebar – footer. So the difference should be visible (there should not be any sidebars). But I saw just the forum inside my custom theme (with left and right sidebars). In the target design, I would like to have the bbpress designed like here on bbpress.org (with left sidebar).

My custom WP template looks like this: http://poradci-sobe.cz/
My old bbpress forum (1.1) looks like this: http://poradci-sobe.cz/diskutujeme/ (I would like to have the new bbpress 2.1 designed in this way)
And here is how the new bbpress 2.1 forum looks like now: http://poradci-sobe.cz/forums/ (this is not wanted, the “1.1” design is desired but I am not able to theme the default bbpress template in bbp-template-compat root directory

Hi all. I have successfully implemented BBPress 2.1 on my WP with custom template. Now, I am trying for almost one week to customize the default bbpress theme. Based on the description here I have
– created the bbpress directory like “wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/bbpress”
– copied all files from “bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/” to the new directory above (I have checked that the all modifications of these files in my theme are visible on the website front end
– as part of my testing I have moved the root file page-front-forums.php out of /bbpress/extras into the root of my theme

BUT – no change on the forum front end (mywebsite.com/forums) – the system shows the forums as content of page based on the page.php template file (including left and right sidebars), the page-front-forums.php file is ignored. What is wrong?

BTW, the new forum design here is really great! Could you publish the template files used pls?:-)

Hi,

I’m having the same problem. Would love to help resolve it but I’m afraid this is beyond my knowledge.

I guess it relates to that WP MU default behaviour is to send all registrations to the “main” blog. Can the bbpress form somehow hook into WP’s registration procedure to bypass the redirect? I wouldn’t know where to start.

WP MU almost needs to separate out Network Users, who administer sites, and blog users, who comment and post in the forum. Or allow each site to register its own users. Perhaps add blog id to the user table and let us chose how it should behave. Just thinking out loud

In the mean time I think I might go back to my previous multisite implementation, which just involved a little hack in wp-config that swapped the database table prefix based on the domain calling the site. This means that each site has it’s own distinct User and Forum tables. Of course there are some obvious downsides too, but everything is functional. If anyone is interested in that idea then I’ve posted on my site about it.

Frustrating that this is the one thing that is stopping my site being exactly as I want it, but don’t get me wrong, bbpress 2.1 is great and I look forward to future releases. Keep up the good work.

[wpmhweb]

Alright, I was able to trace the root of the problem to the bbPress default theme.

I am using the bbPress 2.0.3 child theme copy located in the Themes folder, how can troubleshoot the theme to see what is going on?

Thanks,

[Starejosel]

bbPress 2.1 brought the fancy editor to topics and replies, which is great, but the link function is broken. In the Visual tab, if you click it, it does nothing. In the HTML tab, it generates invalid code that disappears if you switch to the Visual tab. The code it generates is, e.g.,

<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment" title="Link"></a>

instead of

<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment"> Link </a>

There are a couple of other problems–can one set the Visual tab to be the default? I am sure that many users would appreciate that. Also, in Visual mode, a return inserts an extra line–can one turn that off? For my purposes (posting poetry) that is a real killer.

Thank you in advance!

Hi – the order of forums in the Forums List widget seems arbitrary and does not sort by alpha (a-> z) or by forum id (lowest -> highest) … accordingly, is there a way to force the order to appear alphabetic ..??.. i have tried using Parent Forum ID to “0” and then to “any” but both give same result of random listing of titles …

perhaps these forums are listed by most activity or posts ..??.. currently i have a default install (using latest WP and bbPress) with only one forum with some dummy data so maybe this is a setup thing – meaning it gets wierd showing list if no data ..??.. either way, i’d still like to force an alphabetic listing (a-> z) … accordingly, big thank you for any pointers that can be shared … cordially, chuck scott

They’re all just users, but can be assigned different roles on their profiles.

They’re not seperated by any mechanism but their roles.

In the Dashboard, in the Settings > General menu, you can assign a default role under the New User Default Role option.

How other plugins handle them? I really don’t know, that would depend on the plugins themselves. If you can define which user roles are targeted, you can seperate them. If not… Well, you’ll have to find a different way to keep them apart.

[thefairystamp]

I’m using my own theme without template files, I couldn’t find a satisfying documentation on how to use them, so it uses the default template files.

I didn’t change anything, but activating the plugin and styling the default elements per css.

[loicknuchel]

Yeah ! Well done Lynq !

I added add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); a the end of my theme functions file and I don’t have the warning anymore.

Now I hope bbPress plugin works correctly.

Thank you

PS: I can’t close this topic because I didn’t start it…

[Lynq]

Try adding in: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); into your theme functions file.

Good luck!

[loicknuchel]

Hi, thanks for your responses.

@Lynq : on line 357 I have :

356: if ( ‘bbPress’ == get_class( $bbp ) ) {

357: $bbp->theme_compat->theme = new BBP_Twenty_Ten();

358: }

I didn’t understand what it does exactly.

@Aadhaar Card : I have tested about twenty theme, for all I have the first error : Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84

The second error occur only when I use the “bbPress (Twenty Ten)”.

On line 84 I have : $bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;

Maybe the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); is missing anywhere… But I don’t know where…

[Jarret]

Which theme are you using and do you have any other plugins installed? A default bbPress install along with one of the default themes (Twentyten/Twentyeleven) shouldn’t have this issue.

[rezaff]

Thank you both – changing the permalinks to default and saving fixed my issue.

I confirmed that when I switch from default back to a day and name structure it breaks again.

Thanks for your help!

[Aadhaar Card]

I’m not sure but I think you can try by switching to another theme and then see the result. Best of luck!!!

[Lynq]

It looks like bbPress is checking if the current theme is compatible with bbPress.

On line 357 of your twenty ten them does it have: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); by any chance?

Good luck!

[loicknuchel]

Hi, I’ve got the same problem :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84

My wordpress has 3.4.1–fr_FR version and I installed bbPress on version 2.0.3 with the extension manager. My theme is actually BlogoLife.

In addition, when I move to “bbPress (Twenty Ten)” theme, and only for this one, the warning change :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 357

Does anyone has an idea on this ?

[George]

I need a section like there is on this forum, for MY TOPICS, where users can see the topics and replies they have posted, rather than searching through pages of posts. This is default in bbpress for group forums, but I have sitewide forums.

My members are complaining that they can’t find topics they participated in, or started. Ideally, I want two pages. One to show the user’s topics participated in, another to show a user’s topics started.

Any help would be greatly appretiated, and I can donate to anyone that helps via paypal for your time and effort.

Unable to activate bbPress V-2.0.3.

System Info-

WP 3.4.1

bbPress V-2.0.3

BuddyPress Version 1.5.6

Theme = Simple WP Community Theme Version 1.6. or BuddyPress Default Version 1.5.6

I receive the below error as soon as I try to activate the plug-in:

Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://thetechnerds.khanz.net/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

Here are some suggestions:

Reload this webpage later.

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

The main website opens but wp-admin area keeps showing the above error. I have to rename/remove the plugin folder through FTP to be able to get back on the Dashboard. When I am able to access Dashboard the below error appears

“The plugin bbpress/bbpress.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.”

I have confirmed that the file is there. Used auto-installation as well as manual upload of plug-in files, but no luck.

Please suggest.

That’s fairly accurate.

You don’t have to create a child theme or any of that unless you want to customize the default bbPress theme (bbp-theme-compat). In that case just copy the files you want to customize into your WordPress theme directory and bbPress will use those instead.

[pornpoj]

Thank you for reply,

After searching for 1 day. I think i should buy the complete template with include the bbpress, buddypress, etc.

[aretzer2]

I see this message when I go to Appearance->Child Theme:

Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

How do I add a template for bbPress? I am using Suffusion for the rest of my site and I have the Suffusion BP Pack.

[Jaja..]

bbPress.org still runs on version 1.0 It’s a Stand Alone version but i don’t know where to download it.

Here are the plugins for this version

https://bbpress.org/plugins/

Still i think it’s better to use bbPress 2.+ version because it works much better with WP.

Even if you’d install the bbPress 1 version you still can’t have the bbPress forum layout because it was custom made for them and never a default theme.

[Lynq]

If I have any problems this big then the following things I do in this order to try and rectify it is:

– Go to settings > and re-save your permalinks

– Switch to a default theme and make sure your theme is compatible

– Disable plugins one by one to check you don’t have a conflict.

Good luck!
