Where to find following in my bbpress??:
<?php bb_profile_data(); ?>
how do i add the @mention username under the forum user name on forum posts like is done here and on buddypress.org?
My site is fishwire. net and I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress Version 2.3-rc1 as well as buddypress 1.7-beta2.
Thank you!
Hi there, I just upgraded my theme and bbPress (from old to current versions,) and after hours of reconfiguring, I have nearly everything in place. Except…
On my Forums page (http://www.trianglezclub.com/forums/), I’m using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to display the list, and for some reason there’s a weird search box appearing above everything on that page.
[bbp-forum-index] is the only thing I have in the editor for that page.
Thanks for any help!
Hello guys,
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO 🙂
=======================
Add facebook/twitter buttons in the [bbp-topic-index] (for each topic in the table) and then in the topic itself (when you are reading the topic, let’s say above the title)
WHAT I TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS 🙁
============================
e.g. I embedded the facebook in loop-topics.php (quite don’t remember the file name, it’s the one doing the topics index) and the buttons are correctly positioned for each topic, but the TOPIC SHOWS THE PAGE SOCIAL COUNT, in other words, each topic in the index shows the same count, the page count.
HELP! – hooks? guides? example?
================================
I read in other post (tags jetpack social?) a mention from John (bbPress) about hooking bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content, I have no idea what does hook mean. Has anybody implemented social buttons or could guide us on what to explore to do it ourselves?
That would be amazing for many.
cheers
Ramiro.
Hi. Same deal, here.
– Uninstalled BB, but roles still showing in db wp_usermeta ‘capabilities’.
Thus, Admin ‘does not have sufficient user permissions’ to use the Dashboard. (Ugg!)
Setting capabilities to:
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
does NOT solve the problem.
How to uninstall these bbpress cabilities?
bbPress and Simple Local Avatars were the only ones activated, though, btw.
Plugins I have installed are: Hello Dolly, bbPress, Simple Local Avatars, and Akismet. Now that you mention it, I installed Simple Local Avatars after the forum. I’ll try deactivating these and see what happens.
Same Problem with me
I want to add an extra field to the bbPress registration form but i’m unable to do. can any one help to me on it.
I had this problem with bbpress 1.6 and bbpress 2.3.
I can’t find the topic where I found this solution.
The screen capture is from Internet. In my WordPress I have also only the first option.
@tbermudas that’s an interesting set of options under Reading. It looks like an older version or perhaps not BuddyPress? What version is it?
I only have 1 checkbox labeled Search Engine Visibility which when checked takes the meaning Discourage search engines from indexing this site. I think it has the same effect as the first 2 radio options shown in your screen capture.
Hi,
I think I have solved this problem, which seems to relate to my confusion and some technical conflicts between bbPress and the recently retired Forums functionality in BuddyPress, not helped by the fact that although the BuddyPress Forum may have been retired it still lingers in bits of the interface, documentation and on the support forums.
It would seem the forums tab in settings>buddypress I was looking for is not supposed to be there anymore and the permission error message was misleading – The page does not exist – It is replaced by Settings>Forums
I had a page called forums which was not a forum and a some conflicted slug names once I sorted these I was able to set up a “category” with a number of working child forums. I also had to remove the menu item I had pointing to my forums page (which had been automatically created by the install) and replace it with a custom menu pointing to the root – the category page
So hopefully I can now try this on my live site. Thanks for all the help.

I had the same problem. Look if you have checked the “Allow search engines to index this site” option under “Reading”

It works for me.
I am sorry. I have only almost the same behaviour. My error is with another widget (namely the “(bbPress) Recent Topics” Widget). I did not want to take attention away from this post. I really thought it was the same widget and therefore the very same error. Maybe they are related though, if the user logged in is misidentified and therefore the wrong topics are visible? To me it seemed as if the widget had other “user rights” or “other user ID” than needed.
For more information on my problem with private group forum visibility please follow my link to the buddyPress support as I took it to be an error with buddyPress but probably it really is more of a problem with bbPress.
If you would have taken 10 seconds to search the available plugins on WordPress.org you would have seen there is a plugin called “bbPress Members Only” that does this exact function.
But you didn’t.
Not enough information to help really. I don’t see any actual useful error message, though it looks like your page output halts in bbPress’s breadcrumb. You’ll need to look through your output, do some searching through the code, and debug what’s going on.

Are you using the official bbPress search?
NOT the WordPress search with bbPress enabled or any of the bbPress search plugins on WordPress.org?
Hmm, first of all the bbPress stylesheet shouldn’t be loading on sites that do not have bbPress activated. If it is, then there is a problem some where, because it shouldn’t be.
If you want to customize the bbPress CSS, you’ll want to:
Copy:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
to:
wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css
When bbPress runs, it will load your theme’s bbpress.css instead of it’s own.
Something is modifying your queries in correctly – either your theme or a plugin.
I triggered a search via http://churchofficehelpdesk.com/forums/search/?bbp_search=problems and the page pretty much exploded.
First thing to do is eliminate the theme as the problem. Temporarily switch you theme to TwentyTwelve, does that fix the issue? If yes, then your theme is doing something it shouldn’t be.
If no, then deactivate all your plugins except bbPress and see if that fixes it.
There is a 98% chance that one of the two methods above will reveal the cause. I’ve ran into this problem before and it was due to improper query hijacks.
What plugins are you running? Have you tried temporarily deactivating them all (except bbPress) and see if that fixes things? Sounds like a permission/capability issue, but I don’t know why that would trigger without cause.
I talked to @johnjamesjacoby and he is working on it. I don’t have an exact ETA for you, but it’s something that will be available in the future.
There is no way to do this with bbPress, however you can certainly do this with BuddyPress (which will use bbPress).
In BuddyPress you can setup groups, which can each have their own forum, and users in that group can post in its respective forum.
What troubleshooting have you done?
Deactivate all plugins other than bbPress and switch you theme (temporarily) to TwentyTwelve – does that fix the issue?
There is nothing special about bbPress members. To make a member list you can simple use any normal WordPress plugin or tutorial that does this, it will be the same.
Who’s Online widgets typically have performance problems, even the BuddyPress one which is why you shouldn’t really show more than a handful of users. It just doesn’t scale terribly well with the schema we have available (eg WordPress).
PM functionality won’t be coming to bbPress, sorry. If you need PM functionality you will probably want to use BuddyPress anyways.
It sounds like you should probably just install BuddyPress as it will give you all this functionality. These items are purposely left out of bbPress – to keep it lean and mean – and are made available in BuddyPress.
It should but then again some themes aren’t compatible with bbpress what I do is I use custom pages with the shortcodes that way I know it displays right
Doesn’t the line below suffice in the stylesheet or is there something else i need to do?
“body.bbPress .post {width:100%!important;}”
