It’s fairly easy to do

check the style.css in the included twentyten child theme and you’ll see this:

/**

* Theme Name: bbPress - Twenty Ten

* Theme URI: http://bbpress.org

* Description: Adds bbPress forums to Twenty Ten theme

* Author: The bbPress Community

* Version: 0.1

* Template: twentyten

* Tags: bbpress, black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style

*/

The template denotes another available theme that you are making this the child of. If you include the main style sheet, you don’t need to re-reference everything. eg. @import url("../twentyten/style.css");

So create a new theme directory by including that, and copy all the other files(ie not style.css) from plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten (not forgetting to rename the Theme name)

However you might want to copy in the default style, this start’s with:

/* bbPress Style

*/

Then you need to check where the get_header(), get_sidebar() & get_footer() are in your parent theme.

If they are in this order:

get_header();

/* Content */

get_sidebar();

get_footer();

you don’t have to do anything.

However if they are in a different order you may need to adjust, currently they reside in the following files:

page-bbp_form.php

author.php

taxonomy-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_reply.php

single-bbp_forum.php

page-bbp_topics.php

page-bbp_front.php

and I think that is all that’s needed! (untested though)

Weird, thanks 3sixty. I had recently readded the plugin and forgot to reset that. It works fine now. Originally i had set 900 as the character limit but i updated the plugin and it was restored to the default 300.

I am testing the plugin and really like the simplicity of it. This could be an ‘community’ alternative to Buddypress, because I found Buddypress too heavy for high traffic sites.But what I really like from Buddypress are the public profiles and front end account / admin options.

Are there any plans to make public profiles in this new plugin, instead of using the default WP admin area? Something like BBpress has right now for example..

Did a little install on a “new” site. WP 3.0.1, BP 1.2.6, child theme with nothing but the style sheet pointing to the default so I could add the styles from the bbpress. Copied the bbpress template files into the child theme.

Now, things worked except they looked awful. Looking at the template code for all the files that started with page (page-bbp_front.php, page-bbp_topics.php, and page-bbp_form.php)

<div id="container">

<div id="content" role="main">

This causes a problem because container is also used by bp-default, therefore any child theme would fail to look good.

Changed html code to:

<div id="bbp-forum-container">

<div id="bbp-forum-content" role="main">

Then added css styles for the new ids within the styles.css for the child theme:

Looks OK. But needs work:

Hope this helps.

by Default I would hope the answer is no, personally I think that it is better served by a plugin.

as well as deactivating plugins, try using the default twenty ten theme.

If it still doesn’t work, the only thing I can suggest is a memory increase.

Hello again

Well I downloaded the zip file from here the third try with no success:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/plugin#bbp-themes/bbp-default

I unzipped the branches folder, I then renamed the ‘plugin’ folder to ‘bbpress’ and then uploaded the ‘bbpress’ folder to the wp-content/plugins folder and still nothing shows up in the plug-in admin

Here is the link to the test site, where I want to add the bbpress forum to:

http://motion-master-templates.com/test/

I had buddypress running before, but I deactivated all the associated buddpress plug-ins prior to uploading bbpress.

I would really like to start playing with bbpress

Thank you.

hi paul;

I had a problem on this plugin. the biggest problem is I get some codes at the top of the page. and this chance all the view. how I can solve it…

the codes starting with

getAllStatuses(); $renderer = get_active_status………

and ending with

DefaultStatusInterpreter(BUSY_THRESHOLD)); topic_icons_register_status_renderer(‘default’, new DefaultStatusRenderer()); } topic_icons_init(); ?>

how I solve it….

can you help me…

[Rich Pedley]

Couple of things:

sub forums currently don’t list on the main forum page – intentional?

currently the default order position for forums is 0, unless you are going to add in a better method for organising these, could I suggest a default order value slightly higher – or is this better served by a plugin.

style.css

would it be better to have an additional forum.css imported into this to keep the style for the forum separate, and making it slightly easier for people to copy the whole thing (minus style.css) to an existing theme?

Normally I’d also suggest importing the standard style.css from twentyten, but that may be difficult.

Having an error when attempting to use the bb-avatar upload plugin. Its when anyone tries to access the avatar page we get presented with this error:

“Warning: include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/X/pastelportal.com/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear’) in /home/X/pastelportal.com/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45″

We were using a custom theme and it was working fine. We just switched about an hour ago to the default theme and now its doing this. I have done some searches and found a few solutions, issue is those solutions were related to other problems and I’m not sure if they would work with this.

I will say we were presented with a similar error when we upgraded to the latest bechet version of bbpress (1.0.2) but it was fixed after the admin did some tinkering around. But this time we are both clueless to what is going on.

We did change back to the custom theme for a moment, its working fine. But just the default theme, its not working.

We updated from 0.9.0.2 to 1.0.2 bechet. Tags worked fine before the update occured. We do have a custom theme installed and tags worked fine with it installed before the update.

Just reverted to the default theme, and tags are not deleting.

Can you give more detail into what you mean by changes modifying core bbpress files? please and thanks

Thank you for helping me out so far, and providing tips on how to get better support. I apologize that I’m testy. I’ll be more patient.

Hi neighbor. No, you are not being marked as spam. If you were your posts would show you.

Looking through your topic history, there is one unresolved core bbPress issue (which I just responded to). The rest were questions to plugin authors which we don’t have much control over.

Consider that wanting to remove topic tags completely would require the use of a custom theme that does not use them, and/or a plugin to disable the functionality too.

Of the several things of you’ve tried, exactly what version of bbPress did you update from and to (1.0.1, 1.0 branch, 1.1 trunk, etc…) Did it work before your update? Did any of your changes modify core bbPress files? If so, what happens when you go back to what came in the zip? If not, are you using a custom theme? If so, does deleting tags work with a default theme?

Lots of things you can include to help us help you. Remember this is free software and free support that you’ve received already, successfully, and recently in the past.

I get that you’re upset and there is an obvious sense of urgency, but in the future you’ll get a better response by including detailed info about your issue, what you’ve already attempted, and steps to duplicate the issue.

Sorry moved from previously badly named topic!!

i’m unable to post a new topic on my forum. it just gives “this topic has been closed”.

i have integrated BBPress with WordPress and installed the platform pro theme which all looks fine and i login to wordpress and don’t have to login again when i go into the forum.

if i go back to the default theme there is no problem with posting a new topic.

this is the thread in the pagelines forum where we have been discussing this issue.

Sorry for the large bump, but I have an issue that needs to be resolved. We also would like the tagging system to be removed. Recently users have been adding in profane, disgusting terms into the tags on threads and its harming our community. A few users have left the community…

So I guess since tags are tied with the coding there is no on-off switch. We cannot delete tags, as it gives us “this tag cannot be deleted” error. We recently upgraded to the latest version.

But “fix” that I found doesn’t fix the problem. It wont help in deleting the tags.

I noticed in this thread that it calls for editing the CSS of the main default CSS. Well the admin uses a custom CSS. Another issue is, well as he put it to me over email:

“Im not removing php files since that’ll cause problem from index when it’ll try to communicate with deleted files.”

We’re all frustrated with the topic tags. Really, there should be an on-off switch. They don’t get used at all. And they are only being used by the trolls in our community.

So is there any other solution to having these tags removed, or at least having users not be able to add tags to threads.
