Hi.

I created a theme and I created a WordPress page which uses a specific template file on this file, which includes bbPress main page (a page with a list of topics of a specific forum).

The problem is that it seems that if user is not logged in, it goes to standard bbpress page instead of my customized page. Why does this happen and how can I solve?

I have already check that my created page is set to public page on wp-admin.

Thank you.

I would be very interested if you found a solution.

When logging-in using the login widget, the page is redirected to the page where I last logged-out!

It’s happening on one site but not another – is this likely to be an .htaccess issue?

Note: for the problem site, wordpress is installed in a sub-directory.

Thanks,

Andy

Ok,  Step one is complete. I am all done with the installation and it went very smooth.

Now I want to change my URL structure to the same as my old forums and preserve my ranking in the search engines. What is the best way to accomplish this? Please note that I have Simple Press (where I moved the content from) installed on the same wordpress installation as bbpress.

While I am also experiencing the create group topics issue already documented on other threads, this issue sounds more like the one @sydneydesigner noted a couple of months ago. However, his workaround does not work for me, and you will see why below.

Issue background:

My client’s site has BuddyPress installed alongside bbPress. They want group forums as an option within BuddyPress groups.

In order to use bbPress for this functionality, I have unchecked Discussion Forums within the BuddyPress settings and enabled the Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums option under the bbPress forums settings (Settings > Forums > BuddyPress section).

What’s happening:

When I navigate to a BuddyPress group admin and go to enable forums for it, I see the following (image link):

However, when I check the box and click Save Settings, nothing happens. Looking at the html for the page reveals the following:

• Gist
• screenshot

It appears that the form tag(s) are missing, so there is nothing there to POST against.

I was able to enable/disable the option by temporarily switching the theme to the BuddyPress default theme and saving the setting that way. It does not appear to work from client’s normal theme, however.

Doing some digging, the edit_screen() function found in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php seems to generate the checkbox and text for enabling/disabling a group forum, while the form element that should be there looks like it’s from the groups/single/admin.php template file.

Does anyone have any insight into why the form element wouldn’t be loaded into this group admin page?

Version information:

WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.2.4
BuddyPress version: 1.6.4
Genesis Connect for BuddyPress version: 1.2
bbPress Genesis Extend version: 0.8.4
Genesis version: 1.9.1
Genesis Child Theme: Blissful version 1.0

This sounds like its related to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2085

There is a patch included with the upcoming bbPress 2.3

If you want to test this and make sure it is working for bbPress 2.3 go download bbPress 2.3 beta 2 and test it out with your setup. https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/02/bbpress-2-3-beta-2/

(Another discussion thread on the issue is here.)

[Stephen Edgar]

You need to use the correct values from your wp-config.php file

eg. $table_prefix = 'wp_'; = wp_ in the bbPress Table Prefix: field. (You used MyDatabaseName in ‘Table Prefix’

Also if you are using the same WordPress install as your existing SimplePress install you don’t need to convert the users as they are already exist, so uncheck the convert users checkbox.

[jasoncoffee]

I input the info found in the place you suggested above and when I ran it got this error.

WordPress database error: [Table ‘MyDatabaseName.users’ doesn’t exist]SELECT convert(users.ID USING "utf8") AS ID,convert(users.user_pass USING "utf8") AS user_pass,convert(users.user_login USING "utf8") AS user_login,convert(users.user_nicename USING "utf8") AS user_nicename,convert(users.user_email USING "utf8") AS user_email,convert(users.user_url USING "utf8") AS user_url,convert(users.user_registered USING "utf8") AS user_registered,convert(users.user_status USING "utf8") AS user_status,convert(users.display_name USING "utf8") AS display_name FROM users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

[Stephen Edgar]

You should be able to find these values by using FTP to download a copy of /wp-config.php and open it with a text editor or use your web hosts file manager program to to view this file.

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'database_username');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'database_password');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

....

/**
 * WordPress Database Table prefix.
 *
 * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
 * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 */
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';

[jasoncoffee]

Noob questions. What do I put for Database name and user? my host (godaddy) info or my wordpress info? or neither? lol

I just got it to work. I needed to rename items similar to @gregfielding.

1. edit the file bbpress.pot file in poedit.
2. create the folder “bbpress” in the wordpress content languages folder. Make the languages folder if you need to so your path looks like this: wp-content/languages/bbpress
3. save the edited bbpress.pot file as bbpress-en_US.po
4. upload the created po and mo files to the bbpress folder in lanugaes. reset your cashe to see it working

Greg it looks like you were close but you have a dash instead of an underscore in the filename. I’m assuming the filename is also case sensitive.

Hello,
i hope you can help me!

I installed WordPress 3.5.1 and added Budypress to my plugins and i activated it and installed it. After some seconds my Adminmnenu had a 500 Error.

Hi,

I am using bbPress for a WordPress website. It is working great, but I have few problems to customize it…

In the WP theme I made, I have a breadcrumb (created in functions.php), and in the forums pages, I also have the bbPress breadcrumb that is displayed. Because mine doesn’t work in the forum pages (because I don’t succeed in displaying the custom posts), I would like to do something like this in my theme files:
– If the Forum Page is displayed –> display my_breadcrumb(); (because it is a normal post)
– If the other forum pages are displayed –> display bbp_breadcrumb(); (because they are custom posts)

But for this (stop me if I am wrong) I think I have to edit the bbp_template_before_forums_loop in the bbp-theme-compat folder, to remove manually the bbp_breadcrumb and to display it in my theme, but I can’t find in which file is called bbp_template_before_forums_loop.

Thanks by advance for your help, and don’t hesitate to ask if you need more details!

I managed to create a child theme and upload the default theme from 2.1.3 and everything works fine now. Still trying with the default template from 2.2.4.

I am using buddypress 1.6.4, WordPress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.2.4. My website is on the localhost xamp server. I am using bp-columns theme as my Buddypress Child Theme. Please I would like to know how to create a bbpress child theme. I followed the step by step guide on how to create a bbpress child theme and it have so useful to me. The problem I have with it is this line that says: go to bbPress’ theme folder. That is, go to wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten. Download all the files from this folder except style.css. These are the files that will style your bbPress theme.

I can’t find the bbp-themes and bbp-twentyten folders in my bbpress installation.

Any help on this will be deeply appreciated!

[davidfan]

Hi,

This is my first time trying to integrate bbpress on a wordpress site. I have purchased a premium theme from mojo theme but unable to get bbpress 2.2.4 to work on my page at all. If I switched the theme back to twentytwelve then the bbpress functions as normal. I tried running the forum using shortcode, however, only the shortcode page would work, and if I click on a topic nothing is showing up again.

I have been reading through different topics in this forum for the past 4 hours but result has been a little confusing.

Can someone please help?

Thanks,
David

Thanks heaps.

I’ve been doing this less than a month, and am hooked already!

So much to learn! Am now installing Chrome. :o)

Wordpress is so impressive.

Thanks again for all your help.

Alexander – I’ve been experiencing EXACTLY what you describe on a Buddypress (1.6.4) + bbPress (2.2.4) multisite (WordPress 3.5.1), in that I can create new group topics from the back end (check), from the site-wide forums area (check) but NOT within the actual buddypress group area (front-end). As odd as this might sound, I did try enabling bbPress (over the entire multisite) which then enabled me to post/create new topics & replies from the front-end of the groups/forums area. If I switch bbPress back to being enabled only on site 1 (i.e the root in my multisite environment) then I’m back to the inability to post/create topics & replies via the front-end, though again this all works from the back-end + via the site-wide forums area (i.e new topic to a specific group forum works 100%).

So, I’ve concluded that somewhere along the line, there’s some sort of corruption, likely in one of the db tables &/or relationships. You’re not the only person I’ve heard of who has had this exact problem over the past few months w bbPress + buddypress + WP multisite. As a test, I created a multisite BuddyPress + bbPress fresh install, and the ability to create/post topics & replies from the front-end (within the group forums area) works 100% (i.e no disappearing). This test also works whether bbPress was enabled sitewide or a a specific site in the multisite network.

A very confusing problem indeed. The frustrating piece is I’ve actually come across this problem before (~ 3 months) ago, resolved it, though now I can’t 100% recall the steps I took to rectify!

I think I’ll tackle this one again, as the idea of needed to enable bbPress as a network activation to resolve the issue is not the most ideal situation, at least not for me.

Good luck!

Hi I am a user of bbpress 2.2 and WordPress 3.5.

I have a category with two topics.
I am wondering if it is possible to create a custom view that allows one to view all the posts within the category regardless of the forums (sorted by, say, post time)?
If so, please enlighten me!

[FlipFlop]

Hi guys, I’m using the latest WordPress and BBpress over at http://cdiving.com/forums/

On the main forum page I would like to change the Freshness column so that it showed the last post in the forum instead.

Is this possible at all?

Thank you.

[Pieterp]

Hey all

I’m running bbpress with wordpress, WPML, buddypress and the buddybosstheme. I have three fora with three subfora each, two fora and their subfora are translations of the default EN fora and subfora respectively.

When I want to create a new topic in NL or FR, these are posted under the default langguage and do not show up in the list of topics of the subforum.
Changing the language in the backend to the correct one does make them show up. If you view a topic you can’t see the actual content.
Same thing for replies. Replies don’t show up, even if you change the language.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Pieter

This is a known bug https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2204

[josh16]

Hello, I haven’t kept up with bbPress lately but out of curiosity I came back to see how it was going. So I ran a test site with the latest 3.5.1 version of WordPress and subsequently added bbPress via the plugins page.

I must say that you guys have done well. I was sure that this software was going to end but it looks like you finally gave bbPress a permanent niche in the dev world. I loved the older versions of it as well, when the forum software had it’s own site and database. I would often toy with WordPress themes and customize bbPress to match them. But this was, by far, the easiest installation of bbPress I ever ran. It seems more common sense to use it as a plugin with WordPress since it so many people use them together.

Anyways, I knew from the overhaul of this website that the dev team hadn’t given up. I give you guys props for keeping it alive! Now all that’s left to do is keep up with rivals (ahem, Vanilla).

Keep up the good work!
