This is the HTML code

<a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?topic=where-is-the-capital-of-ca&edit=1">Edit</a>

The validation tool shows the following error:

cannot generate system identifier for general entity “edit”

…ess/?topic=where-is-the-capital-of-ca&edit=1″>Edit</p> <p>(…

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (. The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in “Ampersands in URLs”.

I got the link href by calling bbp_topic_edit_link().

Did I make something wrong?

Please help

I am using bbPress as a plugin for my wordpress site and I can’t figure out how to change the color of text in posts, it is too pale to read.

[davidzweig]

I have a wordpress site ( soviettruck.com ), and would like like to add the bbpress forum plugin. The theme I have (Adventure Photography WordPress Theme 2.0) does not have the necessary template/CCS file for bbpress. This means the forums do not display properly. This needs fixing. Also soviettruck.com/forums gives a ‘Not Found’.. maybe needs some additional config?

Offering $40 by paypal if someone can fix this ASAP, should be pretty quick. Send me an email at davidzweig at hotmail dot com, and I’ll send you the SSH/FTP/Wordpress passwords. Site is hosted by Webfaction.

Once the CSS/template file is fixed, I’ll then use shortcodes to integrate the forum into the rest of the site.

To be precise:

I’ve installed a wp plugin for displaying programming codes with numbering and coloring.

we should write the code inside some tags.

Now I want to use the same tag even in the forum and get the same effect. Is this possible ?

[Anointed]

Maybe if you detail exactly how you set it up we can help

What I was saying is that there is no WordPress header information even.

The normal way to install bbPress is to simply download the plugin and add it to your WordPress plugin folder. Then activate the plugin, configure the forums in the admin and your done.

[Anointed]

Yes, if you are using bbPress 2.1 nightly with WordPress 3.3, you have the ability to turn on the tinymce editor and insert images.

By default only the admin can insert images. There are ways of making it so that anyone can post images if you want to.

I’ve finally managed to import all the posts BUT…

it took so so so long to convert all the data from phpbb3 to wordpress and I had to be very cautious during the process. I had to be careful with my browser window, wordpress session, etc. It reminded me of the times when I had Atari Computer with cassettes. Moreover the restart option didn’t work as described in documents.

I have problem with the “Freshness” of the posts. I cannot correctly synchroniz them. Sometimes it even shows “no topics”. bbPress Recount gives funny effects.

Hi,

how can I get these translations to have effect? I have set WordPress language to Romanian and uploaded the bbpress-ro_RO.po and bbpress-ro_RO.mo files to wp-content/languages/ and wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/ but it didn’t affect anything.

I’m looking forward to create translations for another language but I’m first testing how it works.

The above works, I just didn’t refresh.

Problem: When I create a page, it’s displaying the forum topics as I like; however, it’s also displaying at the bottom of the WordPress Page a place to “Leave a Reply”.

It looks like the page thinks it’s a blog post and wants to allow the person to leave a comment.

How do I set the page to now allow wordpress comments on the page?

[frooyo]

I found this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

But when I paste the following on a newly created WordPress page, nothing is displayed:

[bbp-single-forum id=1]

[Anointed]

I’d go over to wordpress and ask there

https://wordpress.org/support/

[Dan Milward]

Would you consider making that as a Plugin?

I was talking to a security specialist about this type of thing and he said that a lot of other forum solutions offer this in a comparable fashion. I’m not going to use anything else though… I’m a WordPress guy

How do I make bbpress 2 to display on the front page (root level)?

I just installed WordPress 3.3 with the bbPress 2.0.2 plug-in for http://example.com

But do see the actual forum, you have to go to http://example.com/?post_type=forum

How to I make ?post_type=forum display on the frontpage of http://example.com ?

[frooyo]

main nav highlight, category, parent and posts highlight, sidebars,multiple blog

I have the following queries when using the wordpress to create my website

1) while I open my website deepakraj.in, the About Main nav button should highlight to blue. I tried to change the CSS as said in some of the forums but it does not work

But, when I click on About main nav button it highlights(blue color) because I have set the css for the

.current-menu-item {background-color:#4f94cd;}

2) When I click on the Recent blogs in the about page, it should re-direct to blog(main nav) page and highlight in

blue. Or even if i click on the blogs present in the blog.php, the blog main nav button should enable to blue.

3) Same with the category and posts. While click on the category and posts the specific category should highlight.

4) i like to create different sidebars for all the pages. how do I do it?

5) Can i have multiple blogs? I like to have blog, photos and drawings, videos pages in blog format. is it possible.

You could always use WordPress network mode and give each of your Universities their own ‘blog’ on the network. Then it would be a matter of simply setting up a bbPress forum for each blog site.

[Anointed]

bbPress works with 90% of all the themes out there. If you are using the default bbPress theme, then it may take a few css tweaks to get it working properly.

[il_dandi]

Hi! I’ve installed new theme on WordPress (Contrast), my problem is that when I show list of forums It seems that there isn’t any CSS applyed. Simple text without any format.

What Can I do for apply specific layout to forum?

Thanks

[Andre]

There’s a “Zip Archive” link on the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin that will download the latest version. I hope you are aware 2.1 is a development version, not a released version of bbPress.

I have test bbpress locally using my theme (it’s premium theme) and I have the same problem as you are (sidebar displays below the main content). I will follow this thread.

[Zachary Russell]

Hello Everyone,

I really want to find a good theme that works with bbpress, that has a sidebar. I want to create a website that has a forum component, with a sidebar for various things. I also want to add advertising (aka Adsense) as a form of revenue, at least to make the site pay for it’s costs.

I have already created 1 website with bbpress, talkbeautyskincare.com and for some reason, sidebar displays below the main content, this is after I added the bbpress files into a child-theme. I just want to know my best bet to tackling this, because I would like to start a community that could help each other out on my ideas.

Thanks so much for your help

Zac

I’m using the BBpress standalone software (not through WordPress blog).

Is this plugin available as a standalone and where can I download it?

I appreciate your help!
