Hi,
My website recently went live, and despite experiencing problems with bbpress in the past, I decided to use it to host my forums.
Everything’s working out so far (knock on wood), except that the unique post anchors (http://website.com/forums/topic/topic-title/#post-1234) that show up, for example, in the ‘recent replies’ widget are giving the following error:
`Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/74/10646774/html/index.php:1) in /home/content/74/10646774/html/renewal/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876`
Caveat: I have permalinks set to numeric and have installed WP in a subdirectory (in this case, “renewal”) which I now use as the wordpress URL while keeping the site URL as http://domain.com so that I didn’t have to move the wordpress directory.
All forums work fine, and navigating topics isn’t an issue–it’s only these unique post IDs that are throwing the error (and rendering the above-mentioned bbpress widget useless).
Any suggestions?
Hi Patti,
Sounds like you may be a bit confused. bbPress.org is the support forums specifically for bbPress, which is a sister project to WordPress.
Unless your sites are hosted on WordPress.com, any issues you’re having logging in are specific to your installations, and not to any central server anywhere.
Congrats and Thanks to all who helped get bbPress 2.3 out the door… Yay 🙂
i have to pay for this?
Hopefully not. A quick Google search found this plugin, though I’m not sure how well it works.
Drop feedback about the 2.3 release here!
BTW: bbPress 2.3 just got released!
bbPress disables shortcode execution within it’s output, so that non-privileged users can’t gain access to all of the shortcodes available within WordPress. The problem is that shortcodes don’t come packaged with role/capability restrictions on their usage, allowing anyone that can create topics or replies to use any available shortcode. This is risky, so we globally disallow them.
The search box is part of bbPress 2.3, which is still in development.
I’m running the latest version of everything…
bbpress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7
WordPress 3.5.1.
I went to #freenode’s IRC channel for #wordpress and I tried to find help there.
They directed me to :
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
But on Step 6 where it says to copy everything in wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder I’m stuck.
There is no wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-themes directory in the latest bbpress.
Outdated instructions… 🙁
I wish someone would step in and clear things up.
This page seems a little more udpated with the correct file structure. I guess I’m going to delve into this a bit more:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
I have installed bbpress, and I can use everything in the dashboard to set up the forum and create topics, etc. But when I go to forum I created there is nothing there. I am using the Mercato Premium WordPress Theme. Can you help me find out how to get the forum to show in my template.
And not only that, but I’ve even dropped in ready-made themes, and supposedly there’s supposed to be an option to change it from the dashboard. At this point, we may just have to have our web guy change the files from scratch, because we don’t know how to change it to a pre-existing theme.
Are the instructions for migrating the BP Discussion Forums content to bbPress 2.3 the same as for migrating to bbPress 2.2, as described at the following link? http://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/using-bbpress-2-2-with-buddypress/
I’m with you on this — I posted the previous topic in this forum on basically the same topic (need to keep main WP theme, but just looking to make the bbpress forums cleaner looking).
All I got was a generic “here’s the bbpress page on modifying your theme” and without being a master PHP/CSS/HTML guru, that theming page is a bit intimidating and confusing.
What would be GREAT is if someone said “Here, do this ”
1) Create a directory off your Theme’s dir called “my-templates”
2) Drop these files in there for an example clean looking bbpress theme
3) You can modify THIS and THAT file in this example to suit your needs.
Maybe I’m oversimplifying, but bbpress, with all of its advancements, HAS to have some drop-in example themes… ?
Lets hope both of us get a simple example we can try out.
What browser are you using and what version of bbPress? Are you able to give us a live site URL?
Hello, I have the exact same problem :
On /forum page I put this bbpress shortcode : [bbp-topic-form]
And when non-admin user is logged-in, it displays the message “You cannot create new topics.”
Any workaround ?
Thx
I think I know what’s going on. Created a ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2302
Yeah, but the main issue is that I can’t figure out to change the theme in the first place, and can I install two separate themes, one for the main site and one just for bbpress / buddypress?
Hi Guys,
I am moving a medium sized forum from one WordPress site to another existing site.
Everytime I use the WordPress exporter / Importer it works, but is missing the Topics. I have tried doing it on a database level but keep over writing existing data on the current site.
I’ve noticed there is a specific forum importer but doesn’t offer any import from current bbpress 2 forums.
Any advice?
Thanks
we have a problem with the plugin here. Anyone else have the same problem and did you fix it ?
Ok, we figured it out. The problem comes from the french version of bbPress. The latest version is over a year old and it’s based on an older version of bbPress, so it doesn’t show replies…
This puts us in a bit of a bind, but at least now we know what the problem is.
Btw clickmac, I noticed I couldn’t see the replies in the link you posted for your site, just a bunch of empty space. I had the same thing happen when I tested bbPress on a clean install of WordPress. My collegue had me try it with IE and there they were. So with Firefox you don’t see anything. For more info :
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profiles-topics-created-and-replies-dont-show-up-for-me-either/
I’ve tried three different themes including the default buddypress theme and 2012, deactivated all other plugins, etc…
There is no bbpress forum search box showing up on my site. I’ve removed and reinstalled bbpress and buddypress a couple times, too.
Any ideas?
I can’t even find a setting for the search box – like show/hide (if that’s even an option).
Help?
Good day,
I’m new to bbpress and have a question.
I would have liked to show off like this http://www.onemorething.nl/community/forum/
Can anyone tell me what is the easiest way to do this?
I have knowledge of php and html and a little bit of CSS.
Thank you!
