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.

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 ?

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!

Hi,

I need your advice,

When I look at bbpress.org, I like this plugin very much because it look clean and nice.

But once, I install plugin (automatically version 2.0.3), I found many difference things e.g.

– My forums does not have the possibility to upload avatar picture

– The input box not like bbpress.org

– The forum list has many information messages which I don’t want to see

– The login, join, register are not shown

Please advise me how can I make it look same or similar to this forum. If there is the team to make change for me with small amount of money, please suggest me to.

Thank you.

Hi Martin,

if you are using the default bbPress, then in most cases the CSS indicated will work. The only exception would be, with some themes, that you may have to also (or instead) make the #content area 100% width as well. Also, in some themes you have the #aside as well (or instead) of the #sidebar.

As I don’t know what theme you are using (link?), please use firebug to identify the element ID or Class that is surrounding the bbPress DOM elements.

[Jared Atchison]

FYI about Genesis theme compatibility.

When you do decide to upgrade to bbPress 2.1 you will need to use a plugin.

Genesis compatibility was removed from bbPress 2.1 and is now wrapped in a plugin (below). The plugin also provides some other fixes the 2.0.x compatibility doesn’t.

The problem I had before is still here, and so I still need to change what the Archive Page shows. Changing the settings as said above worked at first, but now bbPress reverted back to showing the forum Archives on http://mysite.net/forums/ instead of what I put on my WordPress page at that location.

In my site’s main menu, I have a link called “Forums” that leads to “http://mysite.net/community/forums/”. This page is the custom page I made, to show the forum_id’s of my two forum categories, rather than showing the forum Archives.

My WordPress theme has a breadcrumbs system, as does bbPress. On the page that I created, WordPress says my breadcrumb path is:

Home » Community » Forums

While bbPress says it’s:

Home › Forums › Community › Forums

bbPress has this annoying thing about insisting that if you are inside the forums, it will add extra “sub-menus”, or path items, or whatever you call them, to your breadcrumbs.

In the bbPress settings page, I set my “Archive Slugs > Forums base” to “archives”, rather than the default “forums”. For “Single Slugs > Forum prefix”, I unchecked the box “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)”.

bbPress seems to hate playing nicely with your site’s permalinks and breadcrumbs. I’ve always had this problem, ever since I started using bbPress.

I would be more than happy to hack up bbPress a bit so that I can fix the breadcrumbs and permalinks myself. I consider this a very persistent issue, as I see many people to this day wondering how on earth to get their forums to display at the proper location.

If there’s anything I can do to help get this problem fixed more permanently, I’d be more than happy to help.

[icandygraphics]

I figured out that bbpressbbp-includesbbp-extend-genesis.php forces full-width content if you are using a Genesis theme or child theme. I changed the full-width-content to content-sidebar in that file, and now all my archive pages have a sidebar. I know I’m not supposed to just edit the files and save them back to the same location, though. Where should I put my version for my child theme?

[craftcore]

Oh my goodness, this was driving me CRAZY! I figured out a solution that I hope will help you budddypress + bbress users out too!

Go to loop-single-reply.php in the bbpress theme files.

Find the line:

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />' ) ); ?>

This seems to be what is generating the avatar by default, so I commented it out and used the following code instead:

<?php // bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />' ) ); ?>



<?php



$replyauthor = bbp_get_reply_author_id();



if ( function_exists( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar' ) ) :

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(

'item_id' => $replyauthor,

'type'     => 'full',

'width'    => 100,

'height'  => 100

));

endif;



?>

My forums are happy and unfuzzy now. Hope it works for you too!
