Hey,

My company’s website uses a custom wordpress theme, and we’ve been adding bbpress compatibility to it directly (rather than using a child theme). We’ve been working on a staging server initially, before installing the updated theme on the main site.

We got everything working very nicely on the staging server, but the main one seems to have problems. Here’s an example:

• A sample user page: http://www.inklestudios.com/forums/users/joethephish – It seems to be using some data internally from the blog. The article id is “post-561” which actually corresponds to this blog post: http://www.inklestudios.com/archives/561
• The fact that it’s been treated as a blog post means that it’s been structured and styled slightly differently too, and is getting related classes to the tags from the blog post.

I’m very confused, because supposedly there’s no difference in setup between the staging server and the live one.

I have a single top level template file for the forums: forum.php, which looks like this:

    get_header(); ?&gt;                        <!-- ?php comments_template( '', true ); ? -->                 <!-- .left-column -->                 <!-- .right-column -->            <!-- #content -->

I would like to avoid all of the typical wordpress “backend” stuff for my users. For example, when a user registers, he just gets redirected back to whatever page he was at beforehand – there is no notification page or “success” page, just a redirect – how are my users to know they should check their email? How can I create a page that simply says “thank you for registering, please check your email for your username and password” after they register?

I would like to avoid getting redirected to the default “/wp-login.php” and instead use the bbpress login page I created. I would also like to use the bbpress registration page I made (using the shortcode and template) instead of “/wp-login.php?action=register”. Is this possible?

I would like to keep users on the front end of the site.

I created a page for forgotten passwords – after a user fills out the form, they are simply redirected – no notification of what just happened, no message that says “Your password is being email to you”, how can I go about making this more user friendly? If someone uses incorrect login detail, they simply get redirected to “/wp-login.php”, I would like them to stay on the “front end” of the site (I have a login page there after all).

Why does everything redirect in some way or another to “/wp-login.php”? How can I integrate this fully into the site without always jumping to a wordpress page?

Second issue, I seem to be having a problem with some of the other page, if I try to view members or a single member I get a 404. When going to “/index.php/forums/users/”. Any idea why these pages do not work?

Here is my domain: http://www.tbgamers.com

Thanks, I’d appreciate any help.

Hey all,

I have a website that users log into and would like to sign in/register the user when the go to the bbpress forum. The site is NOT a wordpress site.

I have read several posts on this topic:http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrating-with-external-authentication-system/

being the most recent but none of them seem to work. I can successfully log in or create a new user. They show up as logged in on the home page. However when they click any link bbpress does not recognize them as the current user and the login form is displayed again.

We are using bbpress 2.0 db version 2471.

Here is the code I have been inserting either in a file of its own (linking to that file from my system with login parameters passed) or in the header.php file of my businesslike template:

-new_user( compact( ‘user_login’, ‘user_email’, ‘user_url’, ‘user_nicename’, ‘user_status’, ‘user_pass’, ‘display_name’ ) ); if ( is_wp_error($user) ) { echo ” got an error “.$user->get_error_code(); } $user = bb_login( $_GET[‘login’], $_GET[‘password’],1 ); }

$user = bb_set_current_user( $user->ID );

}?>

Hi All,

I am planning to set up a forum to go with my wp blog and got a few questions for you.

1. Since bbpress is now a plugin for wordpress, will it use the same db as wordpress?
2. If it uses the same DB, is it safe?
3. When I install a plugin for bbpress, will it add the load to my blog pages too?
4. Is there a way to customize bbpress forums separately?

Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

If you disable ALL your other WordPress plugins then activate bbPress do you still the 500 error?

Dear Netweb and all other helpful folks,

I looked in my Child theme’s folder and I have three files in there.

1. footer.php
2. sidebar.php
3. style.css

When I temporarily renamed my Child’s sidebar.php to sidebar.phpTEMPCHANGE, I was able to see the bbpress sidebar.

I remember now why I created a Child sidebar.php file, and it is because I did not want any sidebar to show up when a website visitor uses the search feature. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-and-meta-widgets-show-up-on-search-results-pages for my post and people’s suggestions.

My child’s sidebar.php contains this:

    &lt;!-- https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1383cda0f1903ca0                     'monthly' ) ); ?&gt;                                                                                                                --&gt;    <!-- #secondary .widget-area -->

What can I do to both:

A. Keep the “Login” and “Meta” from showing up in the nonforum pages

AND

B. Make the bbpress sidebar appear?

Thank you!enter code here

Hello,

I’ve spent the last 2 hours reading through all the documentation I can find on this error but have not found any resolution.

PROBLEM

> After installing bbPress from the WordPress plugins menu, I get a 500> Internal Server Error for mysite.com/wp-admin/

If I rename the bbPress folder to bbpress-bak in wp-content/plugins then the error goes away, but I can’t activate bbPress with the folder name changed.

Permissions for bbPress are set to 755 and all php files are at 644. I tried deleting the .htaccess file but it didn’t do anything.

I’d love to use bbPress with my WordPress install, but can’t get it working because of this error.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!-Nick

I’m trying to get bbpress to let me use a regular page on my site for the main forums page which I want to populate using the bbpress shortcodes. This is not hard to do, but the issue I’m stuck on is that once you go into the forums the breadcrumbs will only link back to the page with the “Forums” (or whatever you change it to in the settings)slug, and that page works like an archive page and wont let me write anything on it or use shortcodes etc.

I’ve wasted many hours already trying to figure this out, any help would be so much appreciated.

Thanks!

@capsx Those are phpBB ‘magic_url’ and phpBB by default will truncate/shorten all URL’s to 55 characters. It does this so there are not extremely long URL’s in posts. eg. This URL is 63 characters in length, phpBB will leave the ‘href’ in tact but shorten the displayed URL to 55 characters.

<a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a>

phpBB SQL DB stores this in the posts table with the following code

<!-- m --><a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a><!-- m -->

There is more info on ‘magic_url’ here and here.

Thanks for posting your example code above.You may also want to look at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

Using WordPress 3.4.1 and bbPress 2.1.2.

Ever since I began using bbPress, about two years ago, one thing has driven me up the wall– the forums root, or forums index, or forums archive– whatever you want to call it. It’s the page that you land on when you go to the forums, the page that you get to when you click the root page “Forums” in the breadcrumbs, the same “Forums” link after “Home” in the breadcrumbs. No other forums system except bbPress uses a slimmed-down, so-bland-it’s-not-worth-looking-at template for the root of their forums like the Forums Index.

I tried several ways to make the root page of the forums look like a Single Forum page, in all its not-slimmed-down glory:

• Rename the Forums Base on the settings page to “forums-index” and use a WordPress page with “[bbp-single-forum id=####]” in it for the landing page of my forums. This, however, still keeps the breadcrumbs link, “forums”, linking to the Forums Index. Since I can’t figure out how to change that link, this method doesn’t work.
• Edit content-archive-forum.php so that it displays the content of my WordPress page with “[bbp-single-forum id=####]” in it, and nothing else but the site header and footer and whatnot. Having a custom Forum Index page like this would be ideal, but for some reason it glitches out, displaying like the normal Forums Index, but with the entire forums index, including all categories, under a single category header. For every new single-forum shortcode you add to show another forum, it just repeats what the first shortcode did, too.
• I could rename the forums base to “forums-index” like said before, and redirect “forums-index” to my WordPress page, but it’s a little ridiculous that I would have to rely on something as sloppy as a redirect hack…

Somebody please help me figure out what I can do. Every other forums out there shows their forums index in what bbPress calls “single forum” view. I just want to do that with bbPress too.

I don’t understand. Do you mean here at bbPress.org? If not, and you mean the bbPress software, it’s using whatever WordPress core uses.

WordPress 3.4.1 – bbPress 2.1.2 – bbPress WP Tweaks 1.2

Do you have any other plugins enabled or custom funtcions for your theme that could be conflicting?

[Stephen Edgar]

Give this plugin a try if you only want to do some CSS tweaks.

If you do want to go down the custom templates route https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

You can stop bumping this. I don’t know what “proper attention” means to you, but I can’t look at it any more than I already am. If it’s critical to you and your site, dive into the code and start fixing things.

HiMy WP theme format is broken after updating to latest version of bbPress plugin.Can anyone help me fix it please?WP site:http://richard-dickinson.com/Most grateful for helpful replies(see also this post:http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-462?replies=15 )Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

@DevArthran There has since been another update and unless you downloaded the version you are using from the ‘SVN Trunk’ you wont have the latest patches.

You can download an updated version of bbp-user-functions.php (4141) which has worked for a few others it will be in the next update of bbPress.

It would also be great to get some feedback on the vBulletin import as we have had very little feedback thus far from anyone migrating from vBulletin to bbPress.

[Genesiz]

Ok, so im not much into reworking css and all that.but i have this wordpress site, and added BBPress to it.the plugin works pretty well, except for the Colors.as i have white writing on the page, and BBPress makes a white background, no matter what i change in my normal theme.

so i thought i would add a template to use instead… but cant get this to work.Added the template files to wp->plugins->bbpress->my-templates

so could anyone give a noob freindly guide on have to make it work?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, It is now being investigated and if confirmed will try to get the patch in for the next release.
