Permalinks! Have you save it for WordPress and also bbPress?

First, you never lose your forums post unless yo delete it. It just not shows, that all.

Can you describe more about your problems? Start from the beginning.

[Themes Community]

I have version 2.0 but can’t for the life of me get my theme to be picked up. I have followed the guide here: bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility as best I could but there are some things not well explained. This is what I have done so far:

Great, you find that!

1. Copied all the files from /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/ and placed into the root of my theme (wp-content/themes/mytheme/)

Correct, beware of replacing files by accident. Usually you will have 2 file left style.css and functions.php

2. Copied the .js and .css files from the /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/ and /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/js/ folders into the root of my theme (wp-content/themes/mytheme/)

Correct!

3. I also copied the content of style.css from the bbp-twenty-ten theme into my own css file, which also sits in wp-content/themes/mytheme/

Yes, add it at the bottom of the file.

4. I copied the entire contents of functions.php from the bbp-twenty-ten folder to my own theme functions.php, which also sits in the root of my theme folder.

Don’t do that. Just add this to your functions.php file:

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

All that displays is the ‘Forums’ header but no content.

You need to make some forum first withing WordPress admin dashboard then you will have some content when you display the forum itself..

What am I doing wrong? Have I placed something wrong somewhere? Should I have copied the whole bbp-twentyten folder itself into the root of my theme folder? What is that first page that gets served up when hitting http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/? Is it page-front-forums.php and should that be sitting in the root of my theme as it is currently?

I’m also confused my the functions.php where it says:

// Setup the theme path

$this->dir = $bbp->themes_dir . ‘/bbp-twentyten’;

// Setup the theme URL

$this->url = $bbp->themes_url . ‘/bbp-twentyten’;

Following this, I’ve tried copying bbp-twentyten folder into the root of my theme, but still nothing.

Yours, quite confused.

Don’t do that. Skip this.

After you do above that I recommend, tell me the result.

Put [bbp-forum-index] as the content of the page if you want a list of forums displayed.

Put [bbp-topic-index] as the content of the page if you want a list of topics displayed.

Other shortcodes are listed at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes.

[Themes Community]

Ok, I try to help.

You should read this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Then if you still encounter problems, just reply again. I will be here.

Nothing but crickets huh?

[Themes Community]

As my experiences, any forums or topics or replies not showing are due your WordPress custom theme options, specially options about number of posts displayed on archive pages.

Try find it and change any number related to archive pages.

How to access your forum? (please create some forums first)

– After you installed bbPress, sitename.ext/forums/ will always display your forum site.

– If you are not merge bbPress theme with WordPress theme, you can create a page and use shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to show the forum index/archive

– If you are merge bbPress theme with WordPress theme, you can create a page and choose page template bbPress – Forums (index)

and you will see your forum.

I changed this in mypage.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten

But I don’t use that theme. I use NO theme. So where do I remove the sidebars?

Hi, AFAIK every bbPress usage always use ‘bbPress default theme’ located within …/wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten folder (except you integrated it with your WordPress theme or you are using custom theme already).

So you are using ‘bbPress theme’ already and there are no sidebars within that default theme. Sidebars if from your WordPress theme, that you should edit.

Things looks okey so far! Now I want to remove the sidebars from the forum (not the page, I know how to do that) and I have read a couple of tutorials but still don’t get it.

Some theme have page template to display ‘full width page’, you must choose it. If your theme don’t have it try create it.

Here are sample of page using shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

-> http://themescommunity.com/forums-index/

I’m newbie too!

Before installing bbPlugin do you see activity stream?

Install WordPress again, then set up the BuddyPress. After that install bbPlugin on it.

If you saw issue again write it down again here

[Erlend]

Fantastic, will start testing right away. A couple questions & suggestions right off the bat:

– Some very simple step-by-step tutorials for the different kinds of set-ups would go a long way. I’m assuming bbPress 1.x also includes BuddyPress, but it’d be nice to know if there’s any kind of distinction where the conversion is concerned.

– In the bbConverter settings you ask for a Table Prefix. Which one do you want, the WordPress prefix (commonly wp_ ) or the forum prefix (e.g. bb_ , wp_bb_ , etc.)?

– In the case of a BuddyPress forum migration, do we really need to keep bbConverter activated for passwords? They should all be compatible already.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

BackPress is a subset of WordPress functionality and exists in WordPress, so yes, you’ll have access to it if you integrate.

[amirsaam]

Yep JJJ, bbPlugin is very good but I’ve still have no skill in using it. Other way our people like the StandAlone more than the bbPlugin. For now I want learn more about the SA

This BackPress question is that I want know it and you can better answer me, is that possible to get some function from WordPress after integrating? BackPress will be used here?

[John James Jacoby]

If you plan on integrating bbPress with WordPress, you’ll have much better luck using 2.0. While its very possible to do in 1.0/1.1, you’re going to have a hard time finding anyone to help you with how.

[John James Jacoby]

Are you able to see your forums in wp-admin? If so, is your bbPress 1.0 install in a subfolder of your WordPress install?

[ebharding]

Any progress on this?

Here is a screen shot of the dashboard showing the issue.

my timezone is “Pacific” and that is set in the wordpress settings.

system clock says 12:21,

post time stamp is 12:06 and

the freshness say 7 hours ago.

http://www.westsac.com/bbpress_timezone_bug.png.

The forums are going live next week and I am in the process of removing the “Freshness” code from the public views.

@intimez

We can add vanilla forums to the list.

As to url’s, no, the converter has nothing to do with url’s. It simply gets your data into the format that WordPress expects to see. Now because it is WordPress, you are able to write your own custom permalink redirects in order to match your old system. Of course a lot is going to depend upon what your old system was like. If the old forums had pretty permalinks, then it is much easier to match with custom rules.

I know that it’s a bit different than topic subject, but just in case if you want merely get iNove sidebar smaller you can do the same what is described here – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2010/12/get-the-smaller-sidebar-of-inove-theme/.

Or you can download appropriate modified files from here – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/projects/modified-inove-theme/

Thank you!

[dotNetFollower]

Hello!

In my blog (http://dotnetfollower.com) I didn’t remove sidebar, but I reduced the width of it. It’s described it in my article – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2010/12/get-the-smaller-sidebar-of-inove-theme/. Or you can download appropriate modified files from here – http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/projects/modified-inove-theme/.

Thanks!

Hmmm… If I’m using the regular wordpress registration at http://www.InsertSiteNameHere.com/wp-login.php?action=register, will the registrants be able to use the bbPress forums on that site?

[Jaja..]

This is a part where bbPress is lacking INFO. (I think)

They are still writing up a manual because most people don’t understand how to make Child Themes or just a custom bbPress theme.

Read this topic:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

Your biggest problem is your functions.php file nobody understands what to do with it.

Because the manual how to install and make your own theme tells us to copy-/paste all files including the <bbPress> files from your plugin section inside your WordPress theme folder but in that write up they forgot about when you do so, you have to duplicate or overwrite the functions.php file. Because your WordPress theme also has a functions.php same as the bbPress plugin.

We are still hoping somebody would make a nice Blog Post about how to install bbPress and how to do it correct on a Child Theme setup.

Mine is working now (as explained in linked topic ), but i have no idea if i did it correct.

[amirsaam]

Thanks dude about answer and the address. I read them but I’ve question now, if we integrate our bbPress with WordPress can we use some functions from WP?

I mean if we do integrate after that in theme designin’ can we use a function like this? <?php get_wp_header(); ?> (It’s jus’ a example, Im not sure about the code!)

BackPress is a PHP library of core functionality for web applications. It grew out of the immensely popular WordPress project, and is also the core of the bbPress and GlotPress sister-projects.

[TechKnow]

Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way. In DNN & SharePoint there are Modules/Web Parts that are added to the page creating basically a mashup.

Being a “from scratch” WP newbie I am guessing that the same basic philosophy works for WP.

With that said, I do not see an option to add the forum module to a new page (ironically named “Forums”)

I anxiously await your replies…

[TechKnow]

PS… Please excuse the mess. I am still putting things together…
