WordPress Version: 4.0
bbPress Version: 2.5.4
Theme: Lightly modified Skeleton (http://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/)

I’m using this code: http://pastebin.com/7NQnubJP to add custom fields in a specific forum. Everything is working great except for when I try to edit an existing topic. When I try to edit an existing topic, the custom fields aren’t displayed on the page, and therefor aren’t editable. Only the normal Title and Content fields are displayed.

The issue still happens while using an unmodified Twenty Fourteen theme (besides adding the relevant code to the functions.php file, of course).

I haven’t had any luck finding out what the problem is, but I’m hoping it’s something simple.

I appreciate any help!

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to style a single forum page differently to the main forum pages. I know I can do a conditional statement so say when on this page, do this, however I think there might be an easier way.

Can I use the usual naming & hierarchy structure used by WordPress? ie; when I have a custom post type named ‘movies’ I can use a template for this page called ‘single-movies.php’.

Can I do something like this perhaps?
forum-my-forum-name.php
or bbpress-my-forum-name.php

I’ve tried but didn’t seem to work for me so maybe I’m missing something fundamental.

Thanks in advance.

I just finished setting up a new site and went live this week. I’m now getting an error within my bbPress forum that reads, “Error: Taxonomy isn’t defined”. What do I need to do in order to fix/make this message go away? It is only shown once you select a topic to view, at the top of the page, following the title of the topic.

Wordpress 4.0

bbPress – 2.5.4

Community Forums

Hi, before i go ahead and start trying to make a car enthusiast site built on my current ideas, i wanted to know if this is possible, and if so, how..?

1) – Multiple Forums
I would like to have multiple bbPress forums over multiple WordPress pages, e.g. “general forums” on one WP page, a “buy/sell” forum on the second WP page, a “Services” forum on another WP page etc. and all while having the same login/passwords etc.

2) – Pay Per Thread
I would like to charge users a set amount, say maybe 75p to post a thread (not a reply etc.) in the “buy/sell” forums and say maybe 50p to post a thread (again, not a reply etc.) in the “Services” forum so that I make the money to sustain my site from people posting items for sale or offering a helping hand (a “service”) for a smaller fee than a garage etc.

not easily from within wordpress.

How many users do you have?

Do you have phpmyadmin access? If you do then have a look at the wp_users table – don’t worry accessing the database isn’t really that scary as long as you go slowly and make sure you don’t update !

[Fly1nP4nda]

Same issue as described above for a client’s forum I am working on.

New topics and replies not showing, freshness incorrect

Now I do have one question as no one has really mentioned this yet.

What server is everyone running wordpress/bbpress on?

Aside from this issue I do have smaller issues that I had to handle simply because my client’s server configuration and it being on IIS/Windows server as opposed to Linux (I normally don’t have issues such as this on Linux)

Hi,
I’m using the plugin WP Business Intelligence for show custom report about my blog.

I would show the topic/thread that not have new answers from 1 month.

For this plugin, I must write custom SQL Query.
I studied bbPress database schema, but I can not find where the answers are saved for each thread.

Who can help me to write my query?

Thanks.

I would like that, it’s the least I can do. Thanks again!

[Robkk]

Robin has donate links here.

I can set up a wordpress.com account tomorrow with some paypal donate button if you really feel like donating to me.

other ways of contributing i guess are helping out in the forums the best you can with other users, or the bbPress project itself.

you need userPro for this one

[Robkk]

alright this should be your entire css now

if the @media queries still do not work try just adding them into your child themes style.css file.

if it still doesnt work when you put the media queries in your style.css make sure you are not using @import and instead using this in your child themes functions.php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

more info here https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

and also contact jetpacks plugin support and see if there is a problem or if i made another mistake or something

you can see i removed the width:100% on the #bbpress-forums css code , its because it didnt really do anything.

[Evil.Soul]

hello guys, I created the portal with WordPress, I installed the plugin bbPress. as you can see in the background to the forum topic STICK does not allow to read the title of the topic, even in the discussion. Should I just increase the size of FONT and putting in the color BLACK

I am using bbPress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.

I have added in the bbPM plugin by uploading it to my WordPress Plugin file through FTP. I can see the bbPM plugin on the Plugins page in the WordPress Dashboard but when I try to activate it I get the following error:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in ../wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20″

I looked through this forum and found some suggestions of adding bbPM into a “my-plugins” folder inside the bbPress folder and now that I have done this, the bbPM plugin no longer shows up on the Plugins page.

I made sure both the my-plugins folder and the bbPM folder had 755 permissions but bbPM still will not appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Robkk]

you can use this to add links to the edit profile section of your profile in the menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

you can then use this to just lead to just the profile

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_pro_link' );
function my_nav_menu_pro_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

then you can just create a link to your topics archive by going to the menu section and adding a link to the menu with the link being yoursite.com/topics

Just want to add my notes in updating from dinosaur version 0.9.0.7 to 1.2 for anyone going thru the process. Follow the steps in https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/updating/ (shown below).

At step four, these additional steps need to happen:

4-b) In bb-includes on the server create a drectory called backpress. Copy all the backpress files from the download of “backpress-1.2-bbpress\includes”. Copy the folder “schema” to \\bb-includes\backpress\ on the server.

4-c) In /bb-includes/backpress/ on server create a folder called “pomo”. Copy the 5 files from the download of “Glotpress pomo” into it.

Updating

These instructions cover upgrading to version 1.2

• First, you should always back up your files and your database in case something goes wrong.
• Second, deactivate all plugins.
• Third, keep the following files and directories.

  bb-config.php
  my-plugins/ (if you have it)
  my-templates/ (if you have it)
  my-languages/ (if you have it)
  also backup your existing .htaccess file if you have modified it, then delete everything else.

• Fourth, upload the newest version of bbPress to your server.
• Fifth, log in and visit your bbPress admin area. If you see an upgrade link instead of the normal screen, click it. If you don’t see an upgrade link (it would have been really obvious), continue to the next step.
• Sixth, visit the new “Settings” area of the admin and edit any details or settings in the “General” section. Also visit the “Permalinks” section to regenerate your .htaccess file if necessary. Also reactivate your plugins one by one (some may need to be upgraded as well).
• Seventh, sit back and relax; you’re done!

These downloads are for legacy versions of bbPress and are no longer in active development but still available for download if you’re feeling nostalgic. You can find the WordPress plugin bbPress here
bbPress 1.2

The latest 1.x stand-alone version of bbPress is 1.2 (.zip / trac / svn)

The latest bbPress 1.2 specific BackPress package is backpress-1.2-bbpress (.zip / trac / svn)

(You will also need the GlotPress ‘pomo’ folder from here.)

[swammy05]

Yes, that makes sense.

I did find this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685

Is that a core fix that has not been made? My bbpress is up to date

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast yeah thats what people usually say there.

try just switching to bbpress bbcode with the whitelist plugin

and also bbpress direct quotes.

the bbcode plugin just turns basic html into shortcodes , so its still fine even though it is 2 years old.

but remember to use it with the whitelist plugin too so that other users cant post the bbpress login shortcode and other unwanted shortcodes you dont want in bbpress posts/wordpress comments/buddypress activity/buddypress private messages.

bbpress direct quotes wont quote as fast as gd bbpress tools quotes but it still works fine too.

It says not tested with 4.0 but it works and much nicer then one I was using.

[bidhan.baruah]

Hi,

We had a custom forum created through a .NET application. Its a legacy application built in 2006.
Now client is migrating to wordpress / bbpress. For forum migration I have created a application to import data from .NET application (Sql Server database) in a format where I can use mingle importer to import.

The tables we have created are wp_forum_forums, wp_forum_threads; wp_forum_posts;

Table definition are
CREATE TABLE wp_forum_forums (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(4000) NOT NULL,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
description text,
sort int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=32 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE wp_forum_posts (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
subject varchar(2000) DEFAULT NULL,
author_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
text mediumtext,
date datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_forum_threads_idx (parent_id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_user (author_id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_forum_threads FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES wp_forum_threads (id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_user FOREIGN KEY (author_id) REFERENCES wp_users (ID) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=69731 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE wp_forum_threads (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
starter bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
subject varchar(4000) DEFAULT NULL,
status varchar(100) NOT NULL,
date datetime NOT NULL,
last_post datetime NOT NULL,
closed varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_forum_forums_idx (parent_id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_users_idx (starter),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_forum_forums FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES wp_forum_forums (id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_user FOREIGN KEY (starter) REFERENCES wp_users (ID) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=9303 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Through our custom code we populated these tables.

Everything works fine, but while importing the wp_forum_posts (which has got 69K records) the importer hangs between 35600 to 35699. I tried atleast 5 / 6 times but same result every time.

Can you kindly help us in this?

Thanks and Regards
Bidhan

i have also a quistion how to install wordpress,and how to create a website by using wordpress.
tell me best answer.

[blueberrycove]

Jlaks – the way I did it was to put in some html code on the WordPress page, above the shortcode for the forum. However Robkk’s plugin is really simple and much better – I’m using it as well now!
