Hello again,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1 with I the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

I am trying to create different groups and it looks as though I have but I cannot seem to actually -go into them. When I click on a particular group it just stays on the current group listing page. From the sites I have seen it should take me into that forum and display all the specific posts for that group. I have made sure that each of the groups have content but I cannot seem to successfully link there.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

On Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m the Register page will not load (Link). Instead, it keeps going back to the root directory. However, on Firefox 18.0.2 it does load. Not sure why this would happen. I am using the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

I do have a few plugins installed but I have tried deactivating them and still get this issue.

I thought that would be the obvious problem, yeah works fine on TwentyTwelve so looks like the developer will be getting an email. Not confident in getting the reply I’m looking for.

Do you have any posts I can look at to help find the cause per chance?

Thanks for your help

Warren

Copy:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

to:

wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css

And that’s all it takes 🙂

bbPress will auto-detect the CSS file in your theme and use that instead of it’s own.

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm, not sure why that would get screwy but it seems to happen.

Try going to Tools > Forums > and checking/running “Remap existing users to default forum roles”.

[Jared Atchison]

This is common when using heavily customized/massive themes or theme frameworks.

Unfortunately for someone like us looking in, it’s really hard to even tell you where to start. There could be 1,001 different things that are causing things to explode under the hood. To top it off we don’t have access to the theme anyways.

The particular theme you are using is _massive_. I’m fairly confident the theme is likely the issue here, but to be sure you should activate TwentyTwelve and see if that fixes the issue. Assuming it does, then you know the problem is indeed with your theme, at which point I’d ping the developer and see if he knows what’s up.

Hi everyone, I searched to see if anyone else had this problem and didn’t find anything that matched exactly, so if the topic DOES exist and I missed it, I do apologize.

I have a site where I installed bbpress back in August of last year. Everything was working fine but the company was not utilizing the forums so they basically sat there un-noticed/unused.

The company has now decided that they are going make a push to their employees to start using them. When I went to look at them today, I noticed that while all of the forums are still there, the topics are gone. At first, when I went into the Admin Dashboard, under the forums, there were counts listed under the “Topics” column but when I went to topics, nothing was there.

I then went and reset the permalinks and still nothing. Ran the forum cleanup tool and then when I went back, the “Topics” column under forums shows all zeros.

There was not a ton of content there and I can re-enter it all, but the concern I have is that of where did they go? I know the client will be asking this and then the obvious follow-up of “will this happen again?”

Any help anyone can give me would be great. Naturally, I would prefer to recover the info if at all possible.

Running the latest version of bbpress (2.3.1).

Thanks,

-marc

I’ve gone back to the standard twenty-twelve WP theme. bbPress still only shows the first post in a topic, no replies.

Any suggestions?

Hey guys,

Looking for a bit of help with integrating bbPress into a theme called Directory.

I’ve set it up, installed plugin and created forum – on my forums page I don’t have any forum listing, not even “There are no forums” comes up.

I looked to do the work around method which was to use the shortcode on a page, but this breaks the page and still shows nothing – when I say it breaks the page I get no footer if I choose the full width template, or I get the same as the link below if I choose default template.

So obviously the issue lies in the theme’s template not interacting well with bbPresses setup, how would I go about setting up a page template that’ll work with bbPress?

That is the bbPress forum page

WP Version 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.1

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks,

Warren

Hi all,
i’ve tried to read all of the topic opened before but i can’t find the solution.

I’ve a big forum with bbpress (1.5) in a wordpress installation (3.5 and another in 3.4.2).

The problem is that when a simple user, “partecipant”, write a new reply he doesn’t able to edit o delete it.

All i need is that the user can edit or delete their own reply or post forever or at least about 3 or 5 days.

Is it possibile to do this ?

Thanks in advance!

[pazzaglia]

THANK YOU la79, that solved it for me. But BEFORE “All in one SEO” and “BBPress” were running happily together.

I had made some edits to my child theme functions file, and installed and de-installed Users Meta and that was when everything was broken. I re-installed BBPress (from zip), and the found this forum and de-activated “All in one SEO” and FINALLY the forums are back up.

Se the AIOSEO was note the CAUSE but, somehow, it was the SOLUTION.

Ciao,

I am the administrator on my site and the keymaster on my forum. All other users are members and participants, respectively.

When I try to access the settings features on bbPress, the plugin returns an error telling me I do not have sufficient permissions to access the page. I have deleted both Buddy Press and bbPress and reinstalled both. The error continues.

Neither the forum tab nor the group tab appears on my Dashboard.

I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 with Genesis 1.9.2 and Prose 1.5.2 and Genesis Connect for Buddy Press 1.2.1

Suggestions?

Guys –

In my particular layout, the ‘Forums’ page is incorrectly calling to the ‘threecol’ CSS tag instead of ‘onecol’. The topics page is calling to ‘onecol’ correctly and lays out fine. I am using a four column layout with a sidebar, and I need the BBpress unit to take up the entire space except for what is in the sidebar.

Broken layout:

http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/podcasts/boards/

Fixed layout:

http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/podcasts/boards/board/fly-fishing/

I can edit the forums CSS tags live using Chrome’s “inspect elements” tag and make it lay out properly, but I don’t know where to make those changes amongst all the BBPress php files.

My question is simple: where does BBPress get its CSS directions for the Forums page? It has to be in one of the php sub-files. I just need to change that one CSS tag and it ought to work properly.

Thanks,
Zach

[ronangelo]

On line 889 of your theme’s styles.css you have a style that hides the replies

.reply {
    display: none;
}

Just remove it.
Or you could add this code if you have a custom css option.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    display: block;
}

[ZachMatthews]

So I can see what’s happening in the CSS elements. For the “Forums” page, the layout is calling to the “threecol” CSS class as opposed to “onecol.” When I use my Chrome editor to change the tag live, I can make it lay out properly. However, I am not sure where the actual “threecol” versus “onecol” decision is being made, so to speak, for the forums page. One of the php files? The master index php?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the mean time I think this qualifies as a bug.

Hello, My name is Robin and i run a WordPress website with bbpress.
I have installed a new theme i found on the internet and now when someone posts a Topic it works fine, but when someone wants to reply on the topic the anwser isnt shown.

You can see for your self with the following login details :

Website : http://www.aeriscraft.nl
Username : bbpresstest
Password : bbpresstest

Also people cant edit there posts, i think its something with the theme or the bbpress.css

I use the newest wordpress and the newest bbpress. a clean installation.

I hope you guys can help me.

Iam sorry for my bad english.

Greetings
Robin

I’m hoping a Preview button could be added next since HTML editor is now the default.

[ovizii]

And now I had the same problem again, this time it was WP Slimstat that was incompatible and not allowing me to post/reply. BUT I had this plugin running on this site for years, yesterday I had to deactivate-reactivate all plugins to solve a problem, so maybe, if I activate these plugins BEFORE bbpress things might work out?

[Julien1975]

Again, reading twice my post looks something rude, I didn’t mean that, I wanteded to confirm my confidence to bbPress 🙂 Posting our tries to fix/turnaround the problem is a proven love to bbPress.

[Julien1975]

Hi John, sorry but I don’t agree with your statement: if I only update one plugin in a “everything is fine” wp environment and after the update “something is broken”, it’s quite easy to think by cause-effect considering the only perfomed change as the cause of the problem.

I do also have “All in one SEO pack” installed, but I did’t update/change that, so thank you everyone else to point on common element which may be in conflict with bbPress.

[bulldogbear]

No idea what I did, but under the standard twenty-twelve WP theme, bbpress was up and running perfectly, showing all forum topics, and if you went into a topic, all topic replies on one page (one page or more, depending on what I set in the admin panel for number of replies per page…).

Trying out different themes, and at the same time altered some “Pages” in the WP admin side. Now, when I get to a forum topic, it only displays the original topic post – no replies. And there are no links to view any of the replies…

Maddeningly frustrating, if only because I have no idea what flip I switched to change bbpress’s function this way.

PLEASE HELP!

[John James Jacoby]

That’s annoying, but a great example of how everyone can be confident it’s a bbPress release causing problems, when another plugin added at the same time is causing a conflict.

[John James Jacoby]

We’re all volunteers. If we don’t help you at midnight on a Friday, it’s because we’re probably out enjoying the weekend, taking a break, or traveling 500 miles away to talk to hundreds of people about the software.

I guess our ideas of what makes great support are different, and that’s okay, but topics like these don’t do anyone any good.

Thanks for feedback.

[Jared Atchison]

That article is out of date and is no longer correct for the newly released 2.3.x.

With current version of bbPress, you only files that need to be in your theme are the files you plan on changing.

For example if you want to tweak the CSS, then you would copy the bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css to [your-theme-directory]/css/bbpress.css and bbPress will automatically use your version instead.

This goes for almost all the bbPress template files. For example, let’s sayo you want to edit the bbPress search page. You would copy bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php to [your-theme-directory]/bbpress/content-search.php.

The only time you would really need to copy and create the entire bbPress template would be if you need it to be theme independent, eg distribute it.

Hopefully that makes some sense 🙂
