So, my current theme is setup with a right and left side bar. When I tried to setup bbPress it just did not seem to layout right. Is it possible to some how use a more open theme for just the forums?
When creating a new forum there does not seem to be an option for theme like there is on a Page creation.
Any advice?

I am currently trying do the same thing, set newest to oldest with the original topic post remaining on the top.
I am a novice with code and CSS, and was curious where the code you provided for grex22 went. I am familiar with the .php location of bbpress, but can not find the information you posted.

Thank you

I installed an old backup of WordPress incl. the forum

I have some bb_ tables… bb_forums, bb_meta etc.

Are these from the new bbPress 2? Or are these the old bbPress 1 tables, that I had before upgrading?

I have rows in the bb_forums table, but nothing showing in the forum topics :/ What table does bbPress 2 save table topics in?

I upgraded from bbPress 1 to bbPress 2 before, but I am not sure if this is backup is before or after the upgrade.

Well after more than a week of total frustration I’m just about to give up. I’ve tried endlessly to find a solution without luck. I’ve hired a developer who has done a week’s worth of work at significant expense without any luck.

We’ve imported some of the old forum but not all of it. http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forums/ – as you can see while some replies are as fresh as 3 months old none of the topics imported are newer than 9 months old. Nobody can work out why the importer won’t bring all of it over.

I’ve reset the BBPress 2.3 forum twice and each time not only the metadata associated with the forum posts is deleted but that associated with blog posts too (resulting in mass deletion of categories and tags).

I’ve also tried 3 times to post on this forum without any help at all. After using BBpress for fours years I feel very let down by the community.

the following article should help !

I spoke too soon lol….
the format I would get is Home>forums>forumsTest
the Forumstest I created would have no sidebars, as soon as I click on Forums or any of the post the sidebars would return

[HD80]

I have no idea what’s going on, I think my theme doesn’t support bbpress. I removed [<?php get_sidebar(); ?>] from all the file I copied from the EXTRAS folder but the side bar is still there. I switched to twenty eleven them and the forum page seems to work properly without the side bar. And I haven’t copy any file from bbpress and extras folder.
Shmoo, do you know a way to get around this?

EDIT: OMG, I’m so stupid…it’s so simple. All I need to do was create a new page, Select Content Layout as NO SIDEBARS, then select template bbpress forum…

I still need more experiment before I can transfer to my website. 🙂

Hello, I am using the latest version of bbPress (2.3.2), buddyPress and WP 3.5. In the settings-forums, I cannot get the check box to use the fancy editor to stick. I click it on, hit save, and when it refreshes the box is un-checked and not working. I tried to switch to the default themes and it still doesn’t work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

BBpress Says

You must be logged in to create new topics.
or
You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I think besides this there should an an option to register/login to make it easy for users/visitors

[hamzahali]

bbpress contains: Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies

I think there should to 2 seperate options,
1. Allow guest to create topics
2. allow guest to create replies.

Also I think this is a must option,

When posting as anonymous this option disapears, even thought its the most important one.

Hey BBPress!

I was wandering if ya’ll can help me out with this. So I have my theme styled so that each Forum gets its own background through the style.css file using the following lines:

.postid-17 {
background: #000000 url(http://alysiaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/alysiasea.jpg) center top no-repeat fixed;
}

where postid-17 is the correlating WordPress post associated with the Forum.

The problem now is that when you visit a Topic within the Forum, the background goes back to the default image :/

I am thinking that there should be a code to pull the topics Parent Forum “postid” and then force the background to the topic.

I hope that makes sense. I can dig through code, but I am not so skilled with writing my own yet.

Thanks in advance for your help.

WordPress and BBPress are running the latest versions:

Site – htp://alysiaworld.com
Theme – Twentytwelve

@johnjamesjacoby I believe this link is the source of the problem… I think if this page is updated to be made current, it will solve a lot of confusion.

Update:

I’ve figured it out.

Part of it was my theme using the post_type_archive_title()

Part was needing to set a filter:

function test_support() {
  return 'Support';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_forum_archive_title', 'test_support');

And part of it is needing to modify the default bbpress theme by placing it in my own theme directory, and modifying the hard-coded instances of Forums and Topics.

A future enhancement / feature would be some sort of an options file to allow this text to be modified in one place somewhere…

[kettlewell]

I’m using bbPress 2.3.2 , WP 3.5.1 and a uDesign theme.

Here’s a link to my site: http://www.techwellbusiness.com/support/

I’m trying to change all label instances of ‘Forum’ to ‘Support’ ( like in the breadcrumbs, archive title, etc)

And all instances of ‘Topic’ to ‘Question’

I think if I can get one filter to work, and I can find the others and get them to work…

But I’m not finding the right filters and/or I’m not using them right…

Any thoughts, tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello,

I didn’t knew where to post my question so in the end I decided to post it here.
Nor did I find any information about my question (whereas I’m quite sure there should be some).

I want to make forum grid like bbPress or BuddyPress.
I mean, when I come to /forum I see left sidebar forums and right content last activity.
Goind inside topics left sidebar shows topic specific information and etc.

Of course I can write it myself, but when I see two forums with idetical structure, I wonder if there is a some simple solution for this.

Thanks in advance

[Hoek]

it works fine now 🙂 thx

Im kinda new to all this

[Pornatu]

Whilst I want to integrate BBpress to WordPress, I don’t want to run BBpress on the same WordPress database, having said that I still want to allow my registered users to connect to it. Can this be achievable?

I can imagine my database filling up pretty quickly with hundreds of thousands of messages, so is there anyway to split them? but still have the users from the main wp site connect to the bbpress database.

Perhaps some sort of “Sync” feature, those members who want to access the forums, will trigger a function that syncs the account with bbpress or something, or make bbpress fetch the auth details from main wp site.

Anyone with me? just like wordpress and bbpress.org seems that accounts are in sync

[HeidiHauck]

I would like topics to only show in the forum they are posted in. However, they are currently showing in ALL forums.

I’m running bbPress 2.3.2 with WordPress 3.5.1 with the Headway Base theme.

I’ve tried deactivating all other plugins, but that didn’t make any difference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

I want to change the Output of the “Recent post” to make it similar as simple-press. Like this:
Forum: Forum Title
Topic: Topic Title
by: Author – Time

I found the code for widgets at:
bbpress/common/widgets.php

But I am afraid that if I changed this, it would be overwritten by the next bbpress update. Any ideas if I can I have a “child widget” or something?

Thanks

Hi,

I installed the bbpress plugin for WordPress. I have a static front page (“Home”), and my posts display on another page (“Blog”). I added a menu option to myblog.com/forum, where the forum is displayed. Everything works fine, except that when I am anywhere on the forum, the “Blog” button is highlighted, and not the “Forum” button. On the root forums page, both buttons are highlighted.

If I remove the “Blog” page from the Posts page option (Settings | Reading), the “Blog” button is never highlighted. The Forum button is highlighted when I am on the root Forums page, but nowehere else in the Forums. (So it looks to me that something gets confused with my Forum and Blog).

I also tried linking an actual forum (not the root page as a link). This results in the same behaviour, except now relative to the specific forum page, not the root. (For example, if I am on the specific forum page, the button is highlighted, but not when I am in a topic. If I set my page of posts to “Blog”, the “Blog” buttons is highlighted when I am anywhere on the Forum).

I have a feeling I may be missing something really simple. I searched on this forum, and it seems others do not have such issues. I’d appreciate any help; thanks!

Hi again,

Is there any solution on this? I think this is a bug of bbpress as this issue doesn’t occur in buddypress or wordpress.

[xmasons]

Add this into your functions.php

function disable_our_feeds() {
	wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
}
 
add_action('bbp_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1); // Disables BBPress feeds
add_action('do_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss2', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_atom', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);

I have now deleted the pages that were to be integrated with the forum pages and attempted to start over. Now when I create a page to match the forum it places a -2 on the end of the name:
Example: mysite/classifieds and mysite/classified-2.
I do not have pages in the trash and I do not have any revisions either. I can not change the -2 slug to correct the inconsistency; it just replaces the -2.

Is anyone home here?
