What do you mean ?

You can do whatever you want with WordPress + bbPress it’s Open Source Software.

Hi All,

I have just added bbPress 2.3.2 to my wordpress site but I am unsure as to whether or not I have set up the forum correctly. wanted to add a discussion forum to my wordpress site whatcamerasbest.com so I added a new forum in bbPress called “What Cameras Best Forum”.

My question is should the url display http://www.whatcamerasbest.com/forum to take me to to the landing page of the forum or should it display (as it is now) like this:

http://whatcamerasbest.com/forums/forum/whatcamerasbestforum/

If it is correct then how do i remove the “add topic” box on whats supposed to be my forum landing page.

I have seen this question asked a few times but the responses range so apologies if I am repeating a question.

On a side note I found logging into this forum to be a bit of pain, I entered my wordpress username and password but the forum kept telling me to log in to post…

Many thanks in advance.

When you try to Delete a user inside WordPress you will be redirected to another page where you have to pick an option about what to do with Posts, Pages and other stuff this users may have created in the past.

See,

My advise would be create one User-ID by the name Retired or something and move all stuff to that account.

Just try it, always make a back-up of your website-/database to be 100% safe.

thanks for your reply 🙂

im a newbie to WordPress, add CSS does that mean edit coding?

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Sadly lots of planned featured needed to remove from FirmaSite theme because of theme rules in WordPress.Org theme system:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review

I really was disappointed when i learn that most of stuff needed to remove but now i can understand their logic. While i dont agree those rules, i respect them.

All social integration (Facebook like,comments etc) is removed from theme because of WordPress.Org rules. They decide that some planned features are plugin territory. So i built a plugin for theme:
http://theme.firmasite.com/plugin/ or
https://wordpress.org/plugins/firmasite-theme-enhancer/

This plugin will add all those social integration soon. Sorry for misinformation on theme site.

Strange works well on mine wordpress 3.5.1 bbpress 2.3.2 theme twentyten

breadcrumbs work fine and get you back to the page

Did you call the page forums plural?

[David]

Yeah, JJJ you’re right: /login and /wp-login.php are the same. I tried a completely different computer, which I had never logged into before, and the anonymity issues were there with both login methods. The only thing I haven’t tried is a different account, but it looks like Lynq is having the issue too, so I’m not the only one. I haven’t really noticed that cookies or cache have anything to do with it. I have never had issues on wordpress.org or buddypress.org. I have spent at least a couple hours trying to find a way to login to bbpress.org consistently without issues, but I haven’t found one yet. At this point I’m pretty sure there is some bug somewhere… I just don’t know what else it could be. Other people could be having the issue, but they might not be able to post! I almost gave up myself.

This is exactly what I came here to ask about…but it appears that these forums aren’t monitored very frequently. I installed bbPress and I have the ‘Forums’ entry added to my WordPress Settings but, just as for Jim, there’s no Boards, Topics or Replies section anywhere in the Dashboard.

Wordpress 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.2

[NerdEnPose]

I’m using 2.3.2 and this is my solution.

There’s a function in the theme files calling this, simply noting it out or deleting it prevents the call.

// bbp_single_topic_description();
content-single-topic.php

and

// bbp_single_topic_description( array( 'topic_id' => bbp_get_topic_id() ) );
form-topic.php

This makes more sense to me because why generate the HTML just to bloat your CSS file to hide it? Or why add more to your functions.php file when all you need to do is some basic theme work? (Although that was some clever hacking of the wordpress/bbpress hooks there mindyjoy :))

*Make sure to move all your theme files into your wordpress theme (wp-includes/themes/your_theme/buddypress/) so you don’t lose your work with an upgrade.

[John James Jacoby]

Not sure where you’re getting your info, but it’s not correct. 🙂

bbPress uses your existing WordPress theme, and allows you to customize the individual templates as you see fit. You can copy the template files you want to customize out of:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/
and drop them in…
wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/bbpress/
where YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME is the name of the currently active theme on your site.

Then start editing them, and you should see your edits come through.

i dont think bbpress css file on its own would cause this sort of server load, try the P3 profiler plugin to determine what other plugins may be overloading your server –

bbPress на русском (bbPress on Russian)

Please, if you want to get support in Russian, visit the official Russian support forum.

Пожалуйста, если вы хотите получить поддержку на русском языке, посетите официальный русскоязычный форум поддержки.

[Sam Rohn]

make sure you have members and tehnik plugin installed and activated

see the Tehnik bbPress Permissions page for more info

http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions/

use the content premissions pane (from members plugin) on the forum edit page to control which roles can access that forum

try the User Switching plugin to confirm other roles can see what they are supposed to see

You can’t really create a Child Theme for bbPress only.

But if you like to work with the Child Theme idea – I personally think it fails big time but some people really like it then just create a Child Theme if you would do the WP way.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

After that you simply add a folder called bbpress inside your Theme or Child Theme folder and copy-/paste the files over from your Plugins directory to your Theme or Child Theme directory.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / All those files are general Theme template files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme folder

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / All those files are bbPress (forum) templates files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme/bbpress folder.

An image will show you better..

Hi, I’ve started a support on wordpress.org but now reply yet. Can someone show me how to create a child theme since my theme is not compatible with bbpress.
Thanks

i have been given a wordpress site to manage and have been made an administrator, I know stuff all about this thing and have to learn it all, I know I need to install plugins but there is no plug in button to install them with. the people who made me admin have no idea, anyone give me any guidance to how I can get my plugin button to appear?

[wpblogtuts]

Hi, you might want to try the bbPress integration with eMember plugin. It’s easier to set up.

[lightrail]

gerard749, I think you’ll find more info here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-you-may-use-these-html-tags-and-attributes

I used the CSS solution suggested by webgrafter, but you may find another option more suitable.

Hope that helps!

I just created my WordPress account and I’ve been trying to post on BBpress support but I keep reappearing as Anonymous on certain forum pages (but not on some others!). When I press login, it always says that I’m logged in already. If I go back then to the root of Support forum, for example, I still appear and Anonymous. However, if I open a specific topic, I’m shown as logged in again.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! I really need some help with finding some shortcode for a custom wordpress page. I need to display a post count by a user. I have been searching for days and I cannot get anything to work. Any help you can give me would be most appreciated!

[bkypes]

Hey guys,

I’ve decided to give bbPress a shot. I did a little bit of set up about a year ago and then uninstalled it because of issues that the plugin caused with my theme. I’m running WordPress 3.5 with the Pagelines theme. I also just added BuddyPress to my site.

Right now my issue is that the custom post links are not showing up in my tool bar. I created a few categories a year ago that are still showing up but I’m left with no way to create or edit anything new. Here is a screenshot of my toolbar right now: http://screencast.com/t/A4oTNohyTjH.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’d love to get everything rolling with this asap.

Thanks,
Brandon

I have raised this in the WordPress forum because I assume it may have a general answer when an installation screws up the system.
I uploaded the bbPress folder as instructed for a first install.
Got “Fatal error”. So I deleted the folder and re-uploaded it. I have now done this three times on two separate days. I have meanwhile also uploaded a Log in form widget which is happily working.

Yet again, after uploading after third attempt:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/aconbury/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php on line 304

Earlier, second attempt I got:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/aconbury/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php on line 866

Only way back into wp-admin is to delete bbPress YET again! Would welcome any ideas.
Bog standard set up, host thirty odd sites but never a WordPress one!

Latest version of wordpress (three days old) and yesterdays bbPress)

Michael,

There is a Simple Machines package called BlogBridger, which allows you to migrate Simple Machines users to WordPress. I’ve not used it specifically to migrate users, but I’ve used it to sync logins between SMF and WP and it will create the WP account based on the SMF login, which sounds like what you want.

As I recall it took a little tweaking to get it to work properly with the latest SMF, but it wasn’t hard. Certainly worth you taking a look.

Hi, I’m using WordPress 3.5 with Buddypress 1.6.2, and BBPress 2.2.3 for site-wide forums. I don’t have any groups or group forums – all forums and topics are site-wide.

This may be a bug, but I thought I’d ask here first. A couple of topics have now reached 1001 posts / 21 pages. For those topics, and those topics alone, in the activity stream and in the recent posts widget the links to the posts are incorrect. They drop the /page/21/ part of the URL so people are taken to the first page of the topic when they click them. All links and all other topics still work fine. The problem is limited to topics with over 20 pages/1001 comments

The link is being written in the database that way, without /page/21/, when the reply is created.

Any ideas? Is there some sort of limit re topic replies that the function creating the link can’t handle? I’m just not sure where to start looking.
