Weird. If you could create a bug ticket on our trac would be great.

There have been some changes in the repository to shift the “latest” to the plugin branche, so the links probably got broken there.

You can find the 1.1 branche here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.1.

Hi there,

Like to download the stand alone version 1.1 as listed on: http://bbpress.org/download/legacy/. But the link doesn’t seem to exist.

FYI: At the moment, I have a forum running using the stand alone version. I’ve planned migrating it to WordPress/bbPress, but for now like a copy of the stand alone installation package.

Thanks!

Wouter

Thanks for including SWNK in the examples list!

’twas my pleasure. Your forum does a very good job of being clean and readable, and you’ve clearly built a very active community around it.

NB bbPress site owners: You’ll want to follow this trac ticket to know when you can submit your bbPress-powered site to the official WordPress showcase.

The theme you are using ‘Nexus’ thinks that /forums is a WordPress page when in fact it is not and is reading the ‘subheader’ in this case ‘Suggestions’ from the last custom post type.

If you create a new WordPress page called ‘Forum’ and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to this page and replace ‘Forums’ on your nav menu with the newly created ‘Forum’ page you should see the title now as ‘Forum’

You could also ask for help over at the Nexus support forum http://wpadaptive.com/forum/categories/nexus

Included with the plugin is a readme.html also other authors docs

— ‘Topics Replied To’ User Profile Empty?

I don’t have or see a ‘Topics Replied To’ section under eg. /users/username, only ‘Subscribed Forum Topics’, ‘Favorite Forum Topics’ & ‘Forum Topics Created’…

— The ‘recent replies’ widget indeed in the old version did include recent topics in its output. Much of the widget query code has been rewritten so I would say now that the widget works as per design 🙂

I have created a ticket to enhance some of the widget options, if you have anything to add, please do.

Ok, a litle more info:

I run a bbPress + BuddyPress installation. And I put that function in the functions.php file of my WordPress theme.

It would remove the widgets inside. If needed you could remove the rest of the / entire sidebar with CSS. The advantage over a simple CSS hide is the fact that less code gets written to the browser / less code to download for the user.

Aside from that I use it to put the login widget at the top of the forums (with CSS) and remove all the other widgets.

Havent found definitive answers anywhere since most everyone who has tried to install a bbPress theme to a current version of the bbPress plugin for WP has discovered that the stock instructions on the bbPress.org wiki and elsewhere are outdated/wrong. If you are not using stock TwentyTen as your parent theme, bbPress theming is broken out of the box – you get a theme broken/not installed message from your admin panel.

When bbPress thusly reverts to its stock look it’s ugly, unusable, and broken. Currently my forums at txmma.com/forum do not work properly as a result. when you drill down and actually try to read a topic you cannot. no content comes up. That’s outside of the fact that aesthetically there’s nothing there you would want to use.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed a third party bbPress theme or rolled their own, with the plugin version of bbPress, when using a custom WordPress theme (i.e. not TwentyTen).

Copying the theme files as directed in the bbPress.org instructions is useless as many have discovered.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone

I used to have SMF installed (still does, closed it for “maintenance”). Installed the latest bbPress and WordPress 3.4.1

The forum seems to work fine, I cna post and see all posts when Im logged in as the administrator. I created a new common user and created a post but when not logged in or logged in as the new user (test) the post is gone (404. The requested page was not found).

I also have the stream as a widget and I can see the post and read it when Im logged in as admin but otherwise it’s gone.

I have been fiddling some with the slug names but I cannot see how that would mess things up (Forums base = forum and Forum slug = forums). I’d like to have the forum url to be mysite.pp.se/forum (tyrell-corporation.pp.se is my domain).

All help is appreciated

Hello all,

It’s been a while since I’ve used bbPress. I’m attempting to use v2.1 on a WordPress site with a custom template. However, when using bbp-theme-compat, the forum appears BELOW the sidebars. If I switch to twentyten, it appears ABOVE the sidebars.

http://www.wvko1580.com/forums/

Is this just a simple CSS tweak or do I need to try something else? Thanks!

Keith

bbPress overrides a few things to tell WordPress not to 404, but sometimes themes run extra queries that stomp what bbPress does. In that case, the theme is probably doing it wrong. What theme are you using?

[Lynq]

Hi there,

I actually had this issue with my custom plugin, it turned out that a recent version of wordpress has tightened the security on plugins I believe, so if the plugins are not coded correctly then it will cause the issue you are describing.

Have you updated all the plugins aswell?

[AAShepAA]

Little background will help:

I started with a standalone version of bbPress, deeply integrated. I have made each and every update to WordPress and bbPress, now on current versions. I have other sites with WordPress and bbPress but this is the only one that is quirky and the only one that was standalone.

The issue: several plugins I install will not give me access to their admin/configuration page. Site says I do not have proper permissions. I have tried deactivating all plugins and only activating one of the problem plugins to no avail. I still cannot get access to its settings. I am at a loss. Too many users to start over.

Lastly. Is there a list of things I can delete from the old standalone installation? Tables from the database??

Thanks for any help.

[Bookkus]

I am having some trouble with the layout of my forum. Once I add the shortcode to a new page the layout goes very strange. I have tried going to full-width with no result.
I am using custom community theme. My buddypress, wordpress, and bbpress are fully updated.

http://www.bookkus.com/test-forum/

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Jeaz]

Hey,

I really like the remake and update, but please, it’s time to retire the old plugin repository. Not maybe retire it entirely, but it shouldn’t be the more promoted option over the 2.x one. The plugin link above should lead to the WordPress bbpress section or something like that, and have a link to the old repository from there, not the other way around. It’s time to move forward and stop confusing new users.

[Pinhead149]

Hi guys,
i have some problems with including a “user total posts count”to my loop-single-reply.php

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3632
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3633

i have included this into my bbpress 2.0.2

i’ve used

and some other scripts (e.g. without echo) to test it. but it displayed nothing.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

[EJMorges]

HI,

My my name is E.J. and I’m enjoying your product!

After updating to that latest version of WordPress and bbPress, I began to experience truncations in of replies to the topic threads in my forums. Everything was working well before the upgrades but now it appears that it’s not calling the proper CSS styles to the reply areas after the initial post, perhaps there’s a conflict with the theme styles. . . I’m not sure.

If there’s any advice you can offer I would greatly appreciate it.

…………………………….

Here are the stats to my site::

WordPress: 3.4.1

bbPress: 2.1 – bbPres Default -/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat

(Theme) Custom Community: 1.819.1 by Themekraft

…………………………….

You can see an example here:

Thank you for your time!

Because bbPress is just a plugin you should be able to put filters into your functions.php file of your wordpress theme.

[John James Jacoby]

A GPL page would still be nice to have. I’m comfortable linking to WordPress.org for now in places where there is direct content overlap like that.

[Erlend]

I just finished a draft of my proposal for bbpress.org’s license page. I don’t think a dedicated GPL license page is necessary when there’s a nice public page for it and plenty other trustworthy “mirrors” in case of downtime.

I basically copied the WordPress License page, updated it with mentions of bbPress and alternatively licensed forums, and merged it with a summarized version of the domains warning.

Your thoughts please.

[Erlend]

Yesterday I offered to help write some copy for bbPress.org, so this is the first of many such posts in a series of sorts as I work my way through the pages and contents in question.

Today I’ve been looking at the examples page. This page is not linked to yet, but we’ll sort that out once we’re happy with the page itself.

Also, down the line bbPress should simply have its own “flavor” on the WordPress Showcase site, coupled with a custom page on bbpress.org that pulls information from there, much like how the BuddyPress showcase probably already works. But since that might take a while (all I know is it’s beyond my capabilities) I figured a static page would serve as a good substitute in the meantime.

Styling

I realized that a common question that’s going to be popping up as I work on these pages is “Changes to bbpress.org vs Changes to my article formatting“. So when I give this feedback, know that I probably have a reasonable workaround for it in mind already if you don’t agree with the proposed changes.

• Page headers – Either make them take charge of the page (more prominent than h1) or don’t show them at all. One of my favorite examples of a beautifully dominant page title is WooThemes’ Optimize.
• On my test site (also where my images are currently loaded from because I don’t have that privilege here yet) I used captions to achieve some simple compartmentalization. It seems the bbpress.org theme doesn’t have any styling for captions yet. Furthermore, on hover they expand slightly instead of highlighting in some other way (e.g. a shadow overlay), making the content below shift downwards slightly, which looks weird.
• The showcase codex page should be retired.

Your input is most welcome, including my choice of “featured” items.

Looks good to me. You’re free to shift things around at this point. WordPress’s canonical redirect will take care of the rest. 🙂

Re: Markdown

Feedback should be directed towards the WP-Markdown support forum.

Re: Search

wpmudev.org has got a very elegant forum search set up on their site, including an alternative Google search. Maybe they’ll share the code. I’ll refer them to this thread and try get a conversation going.

Re: Breadcrumbs & Tags

Agreed, I’ll do some mockups.

[mcla345pau]

Wow thanks! I can’t wait to apply this on my wordpress site.
