I would like it so that visitors see the latest post from 2 of my forums on the default page. Is there some code to allow me to do this?
@slithx0r
If using the default theme, where exactly would I add/edit the function ‘bbp_get_topic_edit_link’ with the code:
$uri .= ‘?edit=1’;
in bbp-topic-template.php?
Sorry not the best with php!
OK, in one things I probably make mistake 
I try to install bbP 1.0 theme using 2.0 version. bbP 2.0 use WordPress theme, am I right? (sorry for my stupid question but I’m just started with bbPress.)
I install Frisco theme (one of this: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/)
And I still can’t see “add Topic” button. I try everything, every official theme and nothing 
What should I do to have “Add topic” button? Exactly like on this forum
PS. I don’t know why but I’m still have this notice:
“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”
I use Frisco theme, bbPress 2.0, buddyPress 1.5 and WP 3.2.1:
http://autonomia.nazwa.pl/test/
Your search widget is a welcome addition. One useful improvement would be an option to merge page/post search (the WP default) and bbpress search, so that ONE search can search all WP content.
That fixes the first error but I’m still getting this one:
topic.js:39Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method ‘wpList’
I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides BBpress, switching to the default theme and re-installing BBpress. The errors still comes up.
wplist.js is being called before topic.js so it must be something in the code…?
I am adding a number of new options to bbPress and want to add the user inputs to the bbPress options page. Instead of messing around with the default options page, I simply want to add a few tabs to the page where I can add my options.
I do know how to do this when writing my own page from scratch, but do not yet know how to add tabs and options to an existing bbPress options page.
example of what I am talking about:
http://digitalraindrops.net/2011/02/tabbed-options-page/
Can anyone point me to a plugin, or code snippet that would show me how to extend the bbPress options page with tabs and options?
thnx
Back in summer I had similiar issues with the betas and RC’s… When I had templates in theme/child theme and combined bbPress functions.php with my theme/child theme’s functions.php I had problems with still enqueueing the scripts from the included bbPress-twentyten, so I just removed these lines of code from my combined functions.php and got it working. After that my template files/css etc. were called and used correctly.
It’s only a suggestion to just check the source code of your forum index what stylesheets and what scripte are loaded from what source. Then compare it with the calls from the functions.php files. Maybe you can find some issue…
I didn’t liked all these combining and integrating so I just added some css rules to my theme stylesheet (most with “!important” but I don’t care that much about this…) and left all other on default bbPress which worked best for me
Hope this helps a bit, Dave
I created a BuddyPress compatible theme but when forums are enabled using bbPress I get the annoying message in Appearance panel that says:
“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”
My theme displays the forums correctly with or withour BuddyPress enabled.
One of the great things about bbPress is the theme compatability mode. This message is unhelpful as it implies the current theme is not bbPress compatible. It is confusing users.
Is it possible to turn off this message?
I think this was a theme-related problem. I was using Frisco child theme and once I changed back to default it’s resolved.
Nope, im not using buddypress.
All the Forum settings are default, i didnt change anything after instalation.

I tried to access the forum via the original link http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/?p=3448. But that links changes the line in the address bar to the nice address http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums/forum/one-new-test-forum and it still gives 404 error.
regarding the other plugins, true i have 26 plugins active, which i all use.
Are there any known conflicts with other plugins? Just to know before i will make a clean install.
Thank you
Thanks John, but I am still not getting any translation on the bbPress forum plugin.
I have my WordPress translation files here: /wp-content/languages/ and my WP installation is translated perfectly.
I have placed my bbPress plugin language files here:
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/da_DK.mo
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/da_DK.po
I have this in my wp-config.php:
define(‘WPLANG’, ‘da_DK’);
I have downloaded the language file from Glotpress.
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/da/default
Wonder what can be going wrong??
Thanks

I just solved it 2 minutes ago On my new site http://justaskpatrick.com I turned on registration and made the default role forum participant. On this new site I was also able to get the shortcodes working. I wasn’t able to on my main site http://allaboutfocus.com .
I also switched back to the default buddypress theme and it still is broken. No JS errors, but no AJAX either
Hello all,
I am trying to setup bbpress on my test site. I want to replace Simple forum.
I followed BJ’s walkthrough and got it showing on the “forums” page.
From admin interface i created couple of forums, and couple of topics.
I can see the forums on http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums
But when i click on any forum name i get a “page not found” error.
What am i doing wrong?
My parent theme is a custom theme created with Themeframe (im astill working on it, and currently i have only changed the menu). I did not touch yet the default templates.
Thank you.
I took it for a spin, and here’s my feedback thus far:
A lot of functionality should be in its own plugins.
– Move forum:
I’m surprised this isn’t in core already; I thought it was. In any case, this would make much more sense as a stand-alone plugin, as its useful for all topics, not just support topics.
– Forum Ranks:
As far as I can tell, it doesn’t tie directly in with support topics; it’s a completely separate feature. Maybe you have plans for it, but if that’s the case I still think you should just have two plugins communicate, as this is something many support forums won’t need. I personally dislike forum ranks. I consider it unwarranted labeling. On the jMonkeyEngine forum we frequently see first time posters with 10+ years of Java experience, which is the type of experience that holds weight in our community, not # of forum posts.
– Please separate your settings from bbPress’ options page. Your plugin offers so many options (which by itself is great) that it ends up bloating the options page.
– I think the default setting should reflect the one in this screenshot:
https://s.w.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/screenshot-3.png?r=448946
That part slipped by me in the settings screen, and when I tested the plugin I was puzzled by how I couldn’t change my test support topic to “resolved”.
– What about a widget for the resolved/not resolved drop-down? (Same goes for Assign topic, and possibly some others I haven’t noticed yet). This would make it easier to fit it in with custom themes. This also means admin should have the option to turn off the in-built drop-down.
Oh and as recommended, add the bbpress tag to your plugin. It’s the default bbPress plugin tag, and currently the most convenient way of keeping up with the latest bbPress 2 plugins.
All ajax functionality on single topic pages are broken. I get the following errors on:
wp-lists.js:1 — Uncaught ReferenceError: ajaxurl is not defined
topic.js:39 — Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘wpList’
I’m using a copy of the TwentTen BBpress theme, but it doesn’t work even if I switch back to the default theme. I’m using the BBpress plugin with Buddypress, not standalone.
I didn’t think anything was necessary to use it. During installation, step 3, I either set up, or it defaulted the forums base slug as forums.
A slug is part of a URL, so Ithen visited domain.com/forums and it worked.
So I added a link to my menu for that URL, and I was done.
Basically, whatever you set the forums slug to, yu add to the end of your URL, and there’s your forums
@Maziyar That’s fine but I’m sure when John see’s these entries he will be unhappy. (BBpress only here) So is there another place to discuss how to set it up. I liked what little I saw before it trashed my WP website which I think was my fault for not making my theme the default…
But as I said if there is another place dedicated to this plugin then we can chat there…
After I seeing above source code, I think that my previous method (that I would like to suggest you) won’t be working as suppose.
So I download the Suffusion theme, trying on my Xampp and found simple answer. You just need to deactivate ‘Sidebar Layout’ into 0 (Zero).
Go to your site at
yoursite.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=suffusion-options-manager&tab=theme-options-sidebars-and-widgets.php
You will have a sidebar layout options, try change the default views into 0 (Zero) or no sidebar at all. You can still manage others to have sidebar(s), just find another related options.
Default Views
The theme is set up with one sidebar (a two-column theme) by default. You could choose to have two sidebars (a three-column theme) or none if you want. Unless otherwise overridden in the subsequent options, this will be applied to your entire blog.
0 (Zero) -> choose this
1 (One)
2 (Two)
The save by clicking Save page ‘Sidebar Layout’
Suffusion is way to complex for code modification, and I hope above method working as suppose, since it work on my localhost.
Hit me if you still have trouble!
More explanation..
Your forums_index page is located at myblog.com/forum and displayed full-width or no sidebar. That is what you want and displays perfectly.
But when you accessing a topic or reply it will show sidebar, it happen due each forum specific page is using specific ‘page template’ that belong to bbPress theme.
Here example:
myblog.com/forums – default forums will using ‘single-forum.php’ page template
myblog.com/forum – your custom page that you use now (in my case I create custom template ‘page-forum-home.php’ to show page without sidebar. On your case just using ‘No Sidebar’ template page)
But when you browse into (forum)
myblog.com/forums/forum/general/ – it will using ‘single-forum.php’ page template
When you browse more (topic)
myblog.com/forums/topic/rules-and-ethics/ – it will using ‘single-topic.php’ page template
And that also applies when you edit something or doing something else, it will use different page template that belong to bbPress theme.
How to solve this?
I want you to understand that your WordPress theme (not bbPress theme) have page templates, such as
page.php - default page
page-full.php - page to show full width or no sidebar
page-blog.php
page-contact.php
page-gallery.php
page-login.php
page-search.php
page-sitemap.php
page-template-portfolio.php
etc ... (the number varries and depend on each WP theme)
You need to copy page-full.php or whatever page to show full width or no sidebar content (html and php styles) and replace (about 75%) for your others bbpress theme.
That what I going to by owning your the content of “No Sidebars” page template of yours.
So your forum will display the same layout and styles.
..
I changed this in mypage.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten
But I don’t use that theme. I use NO theme. So where do I remove the sidebars?
Hi, AFAIK every bbPress usage always use ‘bbPress default theme’ located within …/wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten folder (except you integrated it with your WordPress theme or you are using custom theme already).
So you are using ‘bbPress theme’ already and there are no sidebars within that default theme. Sidebars if from your WordPress theme, that you should edit.
Things looks okey so far! Now I want to remove the sidebars from the forum (not the page, I know how to do that) and I have read a couple of tutorials but still don’t get it.
Some theme have page template to display ‘full width page’, you must choose it. If your theme don’t have it try create it.
Here are sample of page using shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
-> http://themescommunity.com/forums-index/
I’m newbie too!
If I enable the plugin on my site, using my personal theme, and the default bbpress template, then the first post in each topic does not appear – but replies show fine.
If I use TwentyTen, then the first post appears as expected.
Not sure if this is because of something I have done in my theme, or if it’s a strange quirk of bbPress. Anyone got any pointers/ seen this before?
aaaand – I got it.
Was missing a style – I got all the bbpress template ones and missed the default one that is built into the plugin
easier than I imagined.
function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) {
return true;
}
add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');
How would you like to send me my dollar?
Now if only I could work out why this isn’t working properly – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-default-template-styles?
When I enter the default sidebar.
The line there is actually: When I enter the forums, it displays the default sidebar.
Something must have went wrong when I posted the message,
