I am extremely frustrated with a recent install of bbPress and BuddyPress.

My understanding is that, when you create a forums page with the same name as the bbPress forum slug, this page will show the list of forums.

Mine did not. I finally used a short code on a new page and it gave me a list of forums – though the formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately, every time you click a forum link on the page, it takes you to the listing of forums. You can never access the individual forums to post questions or comments.

Thoughts on how to fix this?

bbPress 2.3.2
BuddyPress 1.8
WordPress 3.5.2
Responsive theme

There must be a way to do this. I am in includes/common/template-tags.php

I see:

/** URLs **********************************************************************/

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_forums_url() To get the forums URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_forums_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_root_slug() To get the forum root location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 */
	function bbp_get_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_root_slug() . $path );
	}

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_topics_url() To get the topics URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_topics_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() To get the topics archive location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 * @return The URL to the topics archive
	 */
	function bbp_get_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() . $path );
	}

I figure there MUST be a way to add the forum to the topics URL. I’m doing this because I have a action based upon the URL string and need to have all things on that forum associated with that at a URL level. I’m more of the design end than the development end of things and though I see it there I cannot seem to bridge the gap.

I was also reading: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 – has there been any progress here?

Customizing this has taken much longer than expected & I’d like to resolve this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

just installed fresh copy and have same issue. You can check on: http://ersi.stig.al/wp/
login & pass: test

Wordpress is in Russian, but the plugins are in English

Thank you

[Tecca]

I think the best place to ask would be in the support section for that specific plugin. And if you can’t seem to get it working with/without support, possibly try Yoast’s SEO plugin — I honestly believe it’s the best one around for WordPress.

[pssawhney]

I updated to the latest version of WordPress SEO and when I open my forums none of my threads populate and when I open a topic the most recent thread shows up but no user info or replies populate. I would like to continue using WordPress SEO as a lot of work has been done on it and afraid I will have to change to Ultimate SEO.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am currently using wordpress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.02

I am using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress. After I installed my bbpress, created categories and forum and created a link to the index it won’t move up or down. I click on the link and it takes my to a page that doesn’t have a bbpress sidebar but it has a wordpress sidebar. I can’t move up or down in my forum. I read somewhere that my theme may not be compatible with bbpress WP Tweaks. Also, not all of my forum is showing. Where it say freshness is being squeezed to the left of my screen. How can I get all of my forum to show up on one page,how can I get my forum to move up and down and is there a way to have my forum show up in a separate window or page. In otherwords, I don’t want my wordpress sidebar to show up on my bbpress forum page.

BBpress has reduced the text editor to a minimal one that is really sub-par, in my opinion. I would really like to use something like a TinyMCE version that works for all of the users. There is this one, set up for bbpress, but only authors and above see it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

We are an arts org and we need to have good ways to share visual content. I loaded GD BBPress Attachments which is fine for uploading images and docs, but you can’t insert them into the text: http://www.dev4press.com/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

I found this one: http://premiumsoftware.net/CLEditor/Index, but it’s not as nice as the TinyMCE ones that I’ve used and it shows the bbpress one (the minimal one) right above it, so that is confusing, too. Do you have any recommendations of what would work well for us?

Site: http://www.tafaforum.com/
We’re using the latest updates of bbPress, etc.

I’m pretty savvy (even though I don’t write code) and I don’t even know what “ol” means, much less the other artists who are using our forum…

hi there. the problems seems to be not a normal behaviour. dont know why, but on a testpage i have no problems.

i think thats this behaviour has nothing to do with my theme. perhaps with the following:
– wordpress with german language file
– many plugins installed

someone can help me? do you need more information?

Hi

I’ve got a problem with custom functions. I would like to modify tag link, but I can’t find proper file to put add_filter in. I tried functions.php in the:
template directory, bbpress/, bbp-themes-compat/, bbp-themes/, bbp-twentyten/, but with no luck. I also created my-plugins/plugin.php but where do I find that plugin in the wordpress admin menu?

Second question: is that bbp_get_tag_link or something else? I can’t find proper documentation for that.

Hi, how can I remove the sidebar from my forum page? I’m trying to get a full width page for the forums. I’m using the 2012 default WordPress theme, http://goo.gl/kC0X2

Kindly advise.

Thanks!

I am attempting to import bbpress 1 forum into the new bbpress plugin on a new site using the Import Forums tool in WordPress. I successfully did this in a test – once. I tried to do another test and haven’t been able to do it again successfully. When I start the conversion I get the yellow box at the bottom “Starting Conversion” and the turning wheel… the wheel keeps turning… an hour later, it’s still turning. It’s not progressing. I have to quit out of it. There is no new data in the DB. What is the issue here?

[Hansaplastique]

FYI: I have looked at Debugging in WordPRess.

I did install the “debug bar” but the amount of queries and info after a post is not telling me why it did not post.

Are there other factors that can make it that such a post will not be posted?
(ie. mod_secure on the webserver, etc – any logs I can snoop through, etc)

Hi there,
I am new to BBPress & would like to know the answer to a few questions please.

1: My current WordPress website uses a 3rd party plugin called “Capability Manager Enhanced” which allows my visitors to register to access specific content. I have created and named these user catagories:
Light
Standard
Professional users

I have created 3 forums on BBPress with the name names – Light, Standard and Professional customer forums. Will it be possible to use a 3rd party plugin to only allow specific user roles to access one of these forums?

Thank you

[daivdwhite]

It just a plugin for WordPress!

[McMinnville_Mike]

I’m helping some friends with their website. I set it all up using WordPress and BBPress and they have asked me if I could setup a moderator user roll for the forum that would give a user limited powers but allow them to open / close / lock threads. Is there a plugin for this, or a way to set that up in BBPress already? I looked around in the plugin settings but don’t see that option anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a section in my bbPress Forums (bbPress 2.3.2 + WordPress 3.5.2) related to SQL.
So … users will post SQL example code, but it appears bbPress is simply rejecting the entire post, without even a warning.

Is this a “standard” filtering by bbPress (to avoid injections)?
Is there a way around this limitation?
Does it involve only a few keywords/characters?

(Yes; I did try Google and searching this forum)

Any help or insight would be very much appreciated 🙂

Hey guys!

I’m using the genesis framework with the Metro childtheme (http://d1021797-400.nedlook.com/airsoftclubnederland.nl/forums/) and Metro has these (imo) cool big titles. But its really unneeded on the forums.

I already know I can put the CSS file in my theme folder but when I mod the title attribute, the titles on normal pages and will also be smaller. Its not being restricted to bbPress as both (WordPress and bbPress) use the same title attribute.

Where can I add a class to the bbPress titles? I imagine I need to modify a core file somewhere.

That way I can simply copy the CSS from the metro title and put something like: div class bbpresstitle in front of it and make it so that only bbPress uses that bit of CSS.

Hello,

Could anyone point me in the right direction so I can identify the filters used in bbpress so that I might remove wptexturize?

I have identified those required for WordPress itself, but bbpress appears to use different filters. The WordPress ones I successfully used are:

remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘comment_text’, ‘wptexturize’ );

Which I added to functions.php of a child theme.

I then identified what I thought were the required filters in bbpress from here:

http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/trigger/apply_filters/bbp_get_topic_content/

…and added the following to functions.php to no effect:

remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘wptexturize’);
remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_content’, ‘wptexturize’);

These filters do not work, so I assume they are not the correct ones. Any ideas what the correct filters are?

Thank you!

Today Open site found love fishing nets displayed on the page: Error establishing a database connection, the program is wordpress, you know why you? Not turn over database configuration!

It’s a plugin for WordPress so you’d install with your current website. The domain would be something like mywebsite.com/forums

The style will be inherited by whatever WordPress theme you’re using.

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to set up a private support forum via BB Press and if so how much would it cost. Would it matter if the website is not WordPress version?

[11boks]

Hi, Im real new to wordpress and bbpress. I have a similar issue with the bbpress sidebar not showing up. I have my forum page setup as a static page and would like to have a sidebar to login etc… can you help?

[Martyn_]

With BWM the fancy wordpress editor breaks for me – you are unable to switch between visual and text modes.

Versions:

Better WordPress Minify 1.2.2
bbPress 2.3.2
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.0
GD bbPress Tools 1.4
buddypress 1.7.3 (not relevent I think)

I’ve no idea how to debug this but can post more – does anyone have a fix/workaround?
