I want to override the bbPress page I get when I go to mysite.com/forums/ with a WordPress page containing bbPress shortcodes but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

• My WP page slug is ‘forums’ and contains:
  [bbp-topic-index]
  [bbp-topic-form]

• In my bbPress settings my ‘forums base’ is set to ‘forums’.

I’ve tried a bunch of other things (like setting the WP page template to ‘bbPress – Forums (Index)’ and deleting archive-forums.php in my theme. Nothing seems to work.

Also if I change the the page slug & permalink to ‘forums2’ and visit that, it works as intended.

Any ideas? I’m thinking about an .htaccess workaround but that seems excessively hacky. Thanks.

I am running bbPress version 2.1.2 and I have checked the box for ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor” under Settings -> Forums but all I see is a regular textbox. What is the correct way to enable the WYSIWYG editor on bbPress?

Hey guys, I am using buddypress with WP Social Login plugin as my register/login method. Users can all log in to the site using any method provided just fine(the available methods are FB, Twitter, Live, and Steam). The problem is when people who have logged in via Facebook try to look at or edit their profiles. A “page not found” error is reached whenever a user does this. I thought it might be a file permissions issue but user who logged in via the other services seemed to be able to view and edit their profiles fine.

I tried to search the forums and internet to see if anyone had encountered this specific issue but could not find anything. I am looking for the simplest possible way to address this issue because I just started using wordpress and seemed to be doing fine until I hit this roadblock.

My site is located at AIRJUGGLE.COM if you guys want to check it out.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated seeing as how I am seconds away from trying to reinstall but I am totally trying to avoid doing that if possible.

Watch out for the lack of this: Strip phpBB bbcode, bbcode_uid and magic urls during import

So with what bbpress currently has, I would like to ask a few things.
1. Are there separate themes completely?
2. I want a button so there’s a new topic button, not just a random forum at the bottom, is that possible? Same goes for replying inside a topic
3. If there aren’t any individual themes, all I want is for the background to be black, and forum titles to be white with a new topic button at the top menubar.

Hey guys,
So what I have done so far is create a forum. I made the parent forum and the category works perfectly for it. However I want to make a sticky that goes at the top that stays there that explains how the forums work etc. Only I can’t because it’s a category. Any workarounds? People can’t be allowed to post in the parent forum so. Also, I want to know how to get it so that the highest rated forums are the ones that appear at the top, like maybe have a rating on each one you can click on in the forum at the bottom of each post?

My wordpress is the newest one out, 3.4.2 and the bbpress is the most updated one.

Thanks – Zach

I’m running the latest version of WordPress and bbPress (forget to mention that, sorry)

I’m creating a customised forums front page for bbPress, by listing forums in a different way to the bbPress default.

Essentially what I’m trying to do is replace the use of bbp_list_forums() with a second, nested bbPress loop so that I have greater control over how the sub-forums are displayed.

I know I can use the ‘before’ and ‘after’ parameters of bbp_list_forums() but that doesn’t give me as much control as I need.

The only question I found that came close was this one which doesn’t actually provide a definitive answer.

Code won’t paste nicely here so it’s over here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/64681/creating-nested-forum-loops-in-bbpress

See the bbp_list_forums() reference – in place of that I want another “while (bbp_forums())…” loop but how do I do that without interfering with the main loop?

Thanks

Hey everyone. I’m planning to start working on this sometime in the very near future (once things quiet down a bit). And I’m going to be releasing it for free on the WordPress.org repository.

Unfortunately, Akisment on BBPress is a BIG failure. Yes it captures spam but very limited. I have been struggling from this issue as I have to manually delete the clean the stuff. I am now migrating away from bbpress to some paid solution, if you’re thinking of some serious forum solution, i am afraid bbpress is a bad choice, even though its wordpress’s own child.

[ickzorn]

Hi,

I’m using: WordPress 3.4.2, bbPress 2.1.2 and bbPress Topics for Posts 1.4

A new article is automatically published in the forum. I’ve been trying now to get the number of replies in the post instead of the comments count.

Are there any workarounds to get these numbers?

Thanks.

Hello everybody!

I have a bbPress 0.9.0.7 forum running that works great. http://elanillounico.com/v5/foro
It has it’s users linked to my WordPress 3.4.2. http://elanillounico.com/

I wanted to migrate the bbPress to bbPress 2.1.2 (actual version) but I guess I am doing something wrong.
The new url for the forum is: http://elanillounico.com/forums

WHAT I AM DOING…

First of all I’m installing bbPress 2.1.2 plugin and I activate it in my WordPress.

Second I go to Tools – Forums – Import Forums, I select the bbPress1, I insert the db options and select all the options that suit my server so it doesn’t overload.

I start the process and I wait until it finishes saying “No tags to convert” and then… I am getting this error 🙁

WordPress database error: [Table 'my_database_forum.bb_term_relationships' doesn't exist]
SELECT convert(term_relationships.object_id USING "utf8") AS object_id,convert(term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id USING "utf8") AS term_taxonomy_id,convert(terms.name USING "utf8") AS name FROM bb_term_relationships AS term_relationships INNER JOIN bb_term_taxonomy AS term_taxonomy USING (term_taxonomy_id) INNER JOIN bb_terms AS terms USING (term_id) LIMIT 0, 1000

Apart from this, the installation does not go right. When I go to my forums, the forums themselves are all right. But the topics are all mixted up. It looks like if the answers to the original topics are now topics as well, so I have the forums with all of the messages as if they were topics, they are not linked as if they were lost the id that linked them.

Any idea of what this means and why this happened??

Question I have: Do I have to upgrade first to version bbPress 1.1 before I upgrade to bbPress 2.1.2?

Thank you very much! 🙂
Juan C.

You mean WP Post comments integrated with bbPress forums? I hope that’s not a deal breaker because as far as I know, either someone has still to create a plugin that can do that and release it OR you have to code it OR you have to hire a developer to make the plugin for you.

re #1 – bbPress is responsive but needs some more tweaking https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

re #2 – like the left or right column at http://testbp.org/discussion/

re #3 – hmm, haven’t seen a plugin like that, but it could be done

re #4 – Nothing is perfect in this world. bbPress works all right out of the box. So unless you have a private community, then just like many forum scripts out there, you’d need some anti-spam plugins or better yet, an active community which tags spams so admin/keymaster or moderators can delete such posts and/or members

re #5 – yes, easy to use

[pxforti]

Awesome. Thanks for posting that. Worked for me.

[oatzeal]

Hi there – and sorry upfront for yet another question with regards to bbPress-Themes…

• I have been doing thorough research in the forums, no answers for me…
• Versions: WordPress running 3.4.2, bbPress is 2.1.2

My situation_

I have setup bbPress to work with my custom theme (OptimizePress) and embedded the [bbp-forum-index]-shortcode into a single page (“forum”). Here I could obviously pick a site-template and therefore the forum is nicely embedded into my site-layout.

Since I cannot continue using shortcodes & (slug-)pages for dynamically generated topics, I went ahead and followed the customization instructions. I can ensure that the right (template-)files are called upon (inside my /theme-directory) because I played around with content-single-forum.php f.ex. and also checked for the correct CSS-reference.

I also followed the instructions concerning the functions.php (in /theme):

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
remove_action( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbp_theme_compat_enqueue_css' );

Now I need to wrap the forum-specific template-files with the page-template used by my custom theme. I already tried integrating the bbPress-code into the exisiting page-template with no positive result (no server-response or strange loop-behaviour).

Either I went down the right road but am weak in skill at modifying PHP-Code or there is a far easier approach I haven’t seen/figured out yet (which again doesn’t compliment me on my skill-level…).

Anyways, maybe someone can help me out / hint me into the right direction.

Thanks so much in advance,
Regards

Henning

WordPress 3.4.2 / bbPress 2.1.2 / site: bit.ly/OVo94w

Have never used bbPress before so bear with me.

The main problem is all non-admin/author/etc users (including public) cannot see any of the posts (confirmed with a test account as both a basic and paid user). Anybody that’s not a user essentially can see the posts though. Can provide screenshots or test logins if needed.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, after a WordPress update, a cropped version of the main logo for the site started showing up on the forum index after ‘Forums by’.

There also seems to be an issue with public visibility of all the forums on the index (have checked permissions/etc). They all show up to a logged in user but only 2 of them show up for a non-registered/public user and bots indexing the site.

Have tried a number of things so far that i have found in other topics here: Disabling Akismet (and a number of other plugins to see if there are any conflicts), Deactivating and Reactivating bbPress, deleting and re-creating the forums, and more.

At this point I am a little lost, and not sure how to fix these and really would like to avoiding having to completely re-install bbPress/Wordpress.

Thanks for your help in advance.

[John James Jacoby]

All sounds pretty weird, and nothing bbPress would have caused directly; it doesn’t touch media at all.

[echoman]

Nevermind i had conflicting pages that i had to delete. Although that was weird seeing my media on my site.

[darinb]

I’ve googled and browsed through the forums and finally decided just to ask the experts: Is bbPress right for me?

I’m running a WordPress site and want to start a forum. Simplicity and clean design are important to me. I dislike most of the forum offerings because it seems like you are looking at a database more than a conversation, if you know what I mean.

Here are a few things I’m looking for:

1) Works great on iOS devices.
2) Clean, non-category-oriented design. (e.g. maybe looks like Vanilla?).
3) Has a plug-in that not only shows the title of the recent post but shows a bit of the text. Again, a focus on the conversation, not the database.
4) Not buggy, not a spam magnet.
5) Easy to use for non-techie readers.

For some reason #3 seem to be a difficult hurdle for most forums. Instead they like to show the category, the post title, the author, the time–everything but teasing the reader with what is actually being said!

I did see a bbPress demo somewhere–here, I thought but I can’t find it now–that had a nice-looking theme. It was called (O)x or something like that. The “Theme” section seems to be down these past few days, maybe it was there.

Is there a way to use the bbPress forum list (parents & children) in a widget? Basically I need to create a WordPress Custom Menu with the list, but I have way too many forums to list them all out. Did I just miss something?

NOTE: I know about the bbPress Forum List widget. I need that list but for use in another widget.

Thanks!

[echoman]

Now i have an even worse problem all my media pics etc are showing on that page!!

[waynewundr]

Hi all,

Just wondering about the pro’s and con’s of using this type of site. I’m new to any sorts of forums so please be patient.

Thanks

[echoman]

Now i get a a blank page with no forum but on the backend everything is fine. Last time this happened i had a page not found then received an update. I’m just about to release one of my sites but i can’t do it if i have no forum. What do i do? 🙁
