3 weeks and nowt from bbpress support – what a pity
Okay, I’ve tried deactivating and deleting the plugin, then reinstalling it, and all the old forum data is still there. There’s no other place in the settings besides that useless tab where I can delete the database (I inherited this site so I didn’t create the database originally).
thx Lynq
“Tools” -> “Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles”
helped 🙂
Hey
I installed bbpress on my page
http://sofafootball.com/forum/
However, as you can see it looks lifeless and i’d also like it to be slightly bigger and increase the font size.
I’ve looked around everywhere on the editor and i cant find a way to edit the appearance. Please can someone help me.
Using the latest version of bbpress and WP.
Cheers
Adam
Okay. I created a child theme for my custom theme, and copied all the .php files for bbpress into a new folder titled “bbpress” into the child theme folder.
Check.
Hello all,
I face a problem and I would like your help.
I have a buddypress/bbpress site in Greek language. So when a user creates a topic or Group the slug is in Greek language too.
Everyone can browse the site without any problem.
The problem occurs when someone wants to copy a url to share it (let’s say via email). The receiver of the url after clicking on it, will get a page not found error…
This is crucial for my case as I am losing a lot of the sharing potentials.
This issue doesn’t happen if I create a page with Greek slug (url). Everyone can copy/paste the url from the address bar and see the page without any problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you!
Of course, while I can now administer the forums – creating forums, parenting them and generally setting things up – I find that when I try to post a topic in one of the forums that I, myself, created I’m told, “ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.”
And I haven’t yet located the setting I can change for that. I am a site administrator…but I can’t create a topic in the Forum that I set up. Weird.
WHOAH!! And there they are – thanks. Drinks are on me 🙂
Do you know if there are any plugins that will restrict admins of individual bbpress forums? I.e. User A is admin of forum 1, both user A & B are admins of forum 2, and user B is an admin of forum 3. User A can administer questions on forum 1 & 2, but not 3 and user B can administer forums 2 & 3 but not 1.
The reason I’m asking is because I have a site with multiple sellers and would like to create a support forum for each product where only the owners of that specific product are administrators and receive notifications of topics, etc.
Thanks!
Hello everybody.
Have you had the chance to fix this issue? I still haven’t.
Any suggestion will be awesome.
Keep having a good one.
Sadly lots of planned featured needed to remove from FirmaSite theme because of theme rules in WordPress.Org theme system:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review
I really was disappointed when i learn that most of stuff needed to remove but now i can understand their logic. While i dont agree those rules, i respect them.
All social integration (Facebook like,comments etc) is removed from theme because of WordPress.Org rules. They decide that some planned features are plugin territory. So i built a plugin for theme:
http://theme.firmasite.com/plugin/ or
https://wordpress.org/plugins/firmasite-theme-enhancer/
This plugin will add all those social integration soon. Sorry for misinformation on theme site.
Strange works well on mine wordpress 3.5.1 bbpress 2.3.2 theme twentyten
breadcrumbs work fine and get you back to the page
Did you call the page forums plural?
Yeah, JJJ you’re right: /login and /wp-login.php are the same. I tried a completely different computer, which I had never logged into before, and the anonymity issues were there with both login methods. The only thing I haven’t tried is a different account, but it looks like Lynq is having the issue too, so I’m not the only one. I haven’t really noticed that cookies or cache have anything to do with it. I have never had issues on wordpress.org or buddypress.org. I have spent at least a couple hours trying to find a way to login to bbpress.org consistently without issues, but I haven’t found one yet. At this point I’m pretty sure there is some bug somewhere… I just don’t know what else it could be. Other people could be having the issue, but they might not be able to post! I almost gave up myself.
Thanks. That fixed it.
(the example in the link has a code error, but by removing the escaping all works fine).
I had another question. The feature list mentions facebook comments (the ability to add or remove them). How is this done, I could not find it in the interface.
Thanks

Still having problems with this, I have cleared my whole cookies, individually removed bbpress cookies, tried 5 browsers, tried my ipad and I am still having erratic login problems.
I can visit wp-admin. I can sometimes reply, but if I visit /forums I am shown as anonymous, then sometimes if I go to a topic I am anonymous and I can’t reply. I’ll just carry on removing cookies I guess, but it’s an annoyance.
Here is my setup.
Main Theme
/wp-content/themes/MyTheme/
bbPress theme files
/wp-content/themes/MyTheme/bbpress
If you visit your theme directory, like Main Theme above and there is not a bbPress folder, then you need to copy them out of the bbPress plugin and into your theme folder.
Get that done first, then we can go from there.
Good luck!
I had the same problem, go to tools > forums > Remap existing users to default forum roles (I think that is the right one to do).
One of those recount/remap tools did the trick for me, good luck.
Okay, but I thought in order to remove the sidebar from your forum (i.e.: a full-page forum) you need to be working in “themes” not “templates.”
Let me be more to the point. I have a website with a custom WP theme, (http://www.gamehounds.net/).
I want to intgrate bbPress forums under the tab “Forum.” I want the bbPress forums to be full-screen without the sidebars, but of course I want to keep the sidebar in the rest of my site.
After a LOT of reading… including your wonderful thread that says Never Modify bbPress core files, I built a child theme and activated it.
But when I go to where says to in order to put my bbPress theme into my child-theme file, there is no “themes” folder.
I do have a “templates” folder, but it doesn’t seem to have any information for themes where it instructs to “get sidebar,” which from what I read is the thing that I want to “//”.
Does this make sense at all? Again, apologies for being kind of numbskully about this. I’m really just hacking around in the dark and learning as I go.
(Moderators..this forum have some kind of caching problem. Logged in but it was cached so i couldnt reply in here about 15mins~)
@etanr, I am glad you like FirmaSite theme. That problem is fixed and will release in new version. Meanwhile you can fix it if you want or just wait for next release. Details:
http://theme.firmasite.com/support/topic/comments-problem-in-activity/
Hi.
Using FirmaSite and liking it a lot.
I do have a problem though.
Anytime a member leaves another member a comment on his profile, it shows up as html code
Any idea how I can solve this? It is really ruining an excellent presentation otherwise.
Thanks
This is exactly what I came here to ask about…but it appears that these forums aren’t monitored very frequently. I installed bbPress and I have the ‘Forums’ entry added to my WordPress Settings but, just as for Jim, there’s no Boards, Topics or Replies section anywhere in the Dashboard.
Wordpress 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.2
https://bbpress.org/login/ submits data directly to https://bbpress.org/wp-login.php – they use the exact same code to process your login. Sounds likely that there’s a cookie somewhere in your browser’s cache that’s being stubborn.
Happy you found a solution that works for you, and sorry you’re having trouble.
Oh wait. Brain fart. I found it. Sorry for the last two posts. It was kinda hidden.
No, more like I’m a moron.
Thanks.
Additionally, inside:
wp-content/themes/myActiveTheme/… There is no “bbpress” file. So I’m not really sure where bbpress is pulling it’s theme from. If I did, I could copy that theme and drop it into the myActiveTheme file. But until I figure out where it’s getting its information, I’m kinda stuck digging around.
