A note to anyone that might be having 404 problems with non-admins, yet this time in version 2.3.

I fixed the problem by doing the following in the WP admin:

Tools > Forums > Remap existing users to default forum roles

[Jeff Farthing]

I haven’t dug deep enough yet, but on my support forum, I use the quicktags solution from the legacy bbPress, including the filters to allow regular users to post code. That is, the functions that were named bbp_code_trick, bbp_code_trick_reverse, bbp_encodeit, bbp_decodeit.

However, since the 2.3 upgrade, all code users post has the quotes (possibly other things) escaped in both the topic body and the editable text area.

Any ideas what changed, so that I don’t have to dig through?

[Jeff Farthing]

Yes, I figured this out on my own.

I am using a custom bbpress template that came with my the template. I am having an issue that when you post a video link the video breaks the template. Where can I fix this in the css?

[John James Jacoby]

Enable the Fancy Editor in your forum settings.

[John James Jacoby]

Unfortunately, this won’t scale very well. Notifications and Favorites are stored in a serialized array is usermeta, and keeping track of every topic will eventually slow things down significantly.

Instead, I’d filter `bbp_is_user_subscribed` and invert the results. That way you’re subscribed to all topics, and bbPress only stores the topics your users are not subscribed to.

Make this into a plugin:

`function invert_subscribe( $is_subscribed ) {
return ! $is_subscribed;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_is_user_subscribed’, ‘invert_subscribe’ );`

Apologies if this is considered cross-posting, as this appears as a reply to another thread (but that other thread title isn’t similar). The other thread is… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

Ok, so newbie here who knows html and understands coding but is really keen to not screw up the site that someone else has built for me (so apologies if the answer is above and I’m not seeing it).

The site is http://www.heavenlyz.com and, I think, I’m using the “Nollie” theme.

I’ve installed bbpress, created a couple of forums and – via the great info on this thread – created a page called “Boardroom”, into which I’ve inserted the “[bbp-forum-index]” shortcode. Hey presto, after much head scratching, I can now see a forum index on http://www.heavenlyz.com/boardroom/…woohoo

But, my next challenge is to be able to open one of the forums shown. Am struggling with this.

Having searched, the most relevant answer seems to be… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

If you think there is a better (read “easier” 🙂 solution, then please suggest but if not, please read on…

Because I am using the Nollie theme – I think – the parent/ child argument in that thread doesn’t apply, so am looking at changing the root page.php only (to be honest, I wouldn’t know how to work out whether the child page exists/ how to find the child page).

In the thread linked to above, Lab says

Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well

But my page.php says…

ID, ‘mfn-post-layout’, true) ) {
case ‘left-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_left’;
break;
case ‘right-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_right’;
break;
default:
$class = ”;
break;
}
?>

Where’s the “entry div”? Apologies if this is a laughably stupid question.

All help appreciated. N.b. As I’m learning, to start with, I’d rather keep the changes simple and effective rather than complex and golden.

@ianhaycox Many thanks.

At first, sorry about my english, i’m not fluent.
WordPress version:3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3
Theme: Origin version 0.3.5

The problem don’t happen with TwentyTwelve.
I’m using a very modified version of Origin from AlienWP. Everything works fine with bbPress, except any forum page (list of topics). It stays blank.

Checking the code in this blank page, we can see that nothing after site description is loaded, not even the content is opened. Theme header stops at this point:

`…

/** STOPS HERE ***/

…`

I tried to create a new “normal” page and use the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=2633] to list topics;, it works, but there’s a link on breadcrumbs (inside each topic) that still pointing to original forum list.

I really don’t want to change my theme, so any idea is appreciated.

Links
Main forum list (working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/
Forum page – list of topics (not working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/forum/sega-mega-drive-genesis/
Topic (working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/topic/super-monaco-gp/

[Daniel Lemes]

@enlightentogether
Easy: create a new page, name it anything and paste the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on it.

I did the same and it works, but there is a problem: the link to forum “main page” on breadcrumbs still pointing the blank “original” one. I noticed that you’re using Oxygen theme from AlienWP; i’m using Origin (same developer) and have the same problem. Unfortunately they don’t give support for these free themes (except we buy an Membership for 39 bucks…)

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like a conflict somewhere. bbPress should be redirecting back to the exact same topic/reply that each user creates, similar to how it does here.

[Sam Rohn]

have you tried searching the wordpress plugin directory ?

I am new to bbPress. I’ve installed everything and need help with styling.

I have created forum categories as well as forums. http://churchofficehelpdesk.com/test/

Currently the forums under the categories all clump together on one line. I’d like to add each forum to a separate line with a description underneath. (Similar to this – http://d.pr/i/EeZu)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi i need help finding a few plugins for bbpress 2.3

– my posts/threads like in VB

– report post

– quote

[NewSha]

I’m running bbpress for a small group of users. I need to make all current and future users to be automatically subscribed to everything.
I’m looking for the easiest way to make all users subscribed to all topics by default.
Similar topic, but the solution was not found.

Thank you!

[aukesch]

I use BBPress-topic-to-post plugin to replace my wordpress replies for bbpress topics.
Now I face the problem that I would like to link from BBpress forum to my posts
Can anybody help me?

f.e.
domain.com/forums/forum/forumname contains links to forumtopics. These links I’d like to redirect to the orginal post

So changing the link from
domain.com/forums/topic/xxx/ (xxx is a post AND a forumtopic thanks to the plugin)
to
domain.com/xxx/

Hope my questiosn is clear. If not, I’m looking for the file with the hardcode of domain.com/forums/forum/forumname

Hi – i’ve been trying out various options for setting up a forum within/alongside wordpress.
It looks like my final choice will be bbPress – however I still seem to have one outstanding issue that I can’t seem to solve (have done plenty of searching as well).

The install is fresh today with current versions of wordpress & bbPress – no other plugins are currently enabled & i’m just using the twenty twelve theme at the moment.

I have set up a registration page using the registration short code.
When you submit a registration, it takes you to the WP-admin login page…i’d prefer to keep the user in the front end at all times & direct them to a landing page to say thank you & check your inbox.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Tom

I just installed WP 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.3 and I can’t see the new forum listed at the top of the main page. I have admin access OK. I can get to the forum by typing the url in. Have I done something obviously wrong?

[nick robinson]

How do I enlarge or alter the colour of these tags?

I’ve added this code to the end of bbpress.css without luck

#bbp-forum-title {
font-size: 16px;
}

Are they picking up the h3 style after this css is processed?

I’ve released V1.6 of the bbPress Moderation plugin to workaround the changes in bbPress 2.3

Hello People of BBPress Support..

Im creating forums for a website. The problem is, the theme is a bit dark, so i was wondering if their was a theme for BBpress that also made it dark.

Like a dark background with the font being white so the words stand out…

Because at the moment, the buttons are white, and when i change the skin, the text turns white as well. This makes some obvious problems because you can’t read what is written…

Forums are at http://legendofsky.com/forums/forum/community-forums/

thanks for the help!
