Hi
I installed bbPress plugin with GD bbPress Attachment Plugin, but when I on user link to see user profile but it shows black page. Header and footer are display but profile is not display.
Please help me. I am waiting for your reply.
Thank You
Yeah, I’m having this issue too and I’m on bbPress 2.2.4
I guess i have the same problem as you my file is different from moebis´ and so i could not find the correct lines.
I´m not a coder but i can assure you that i know how to copy and paste 🙂
But you´re right, maybe i´ll start with BP 1.6.5 and use this Nice PLug to get the project as I wish for now. I have a similar project as Yours but very smaller
A district site ( with maybe 4 to 10 ) and with subforums like Health, Education, Secutity, Traffic, etc.
So for instance:
Brooklyn:
–Health
–Education
–Traffic
Queens:
–Health
–Education
–Traffic
But i still have some concerns about future updates, you know. i´m a bit stucked 🙂
@stickfinger: moebis provided his hack above. If you weren’t able to follow his instructions, then it’s probably not a good idea that you try to do this modification, and wait for the official release when the bbPress team get it sorted.
As both moebis and I have pointed out, there are a few ‘issues’ at trying to force it to do this and that’s probably why the bbPress team have held off on the official release.
That second codeblock (lines 567-581) should read:
`
// Suppress subforums for now
//add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_subforum_count’, ‘__return_false’ );
// Set up forum data
bbpress()->current_forum_id = $forum->ID;
bbp_set_query_name( ‘bbp_single_forum’ ); ?>
<?php
// Remove the subforum suppression filter
//remove_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subforum_count', '__return_false' );
`
The fact that bbPress doesn't automatically encode text between the code tags I used is a bit of a concern 😀
moebis – just took a look at this, I may have a more recent version than you use in your fix above.
Here is how to play with my hack in the latest trunk:
EDIT: /bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php
Delete lines 609-614 and add “?>” back to line 609.
The code I have at these lines is this:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>
Probably not what I want to comment out. What I did find though is this (lines 567-581):
// Suppress subforums for now
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_subforum_count’, ‘__return_false’ );
// Set up forum data
bbpress()->current_forum_id = $forum->ID;
bbp_set_query_name( ‘bbp_single_forum’ ); ?>
<?php
// Remove the subforum suppression filter
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subforum_count', '__return_false' );

I highlighted a few things:
1) Topics are only being displayed from group subforum 2 (believe you mentioned this above). This should be easy enough to fix
2) I thought I was posting in the Group Forum when I used the default form below, but clearly (as per highlight 3) this is now set to group subforum 2
3) Default Create New Topic is set to Group Subforum 2. I assume this was the “last retrieved forum” and is probably easy enough to fix. In my case, I’ll probably be changing my group forums to a category anyway, so I don’t actually want people starting new topics from this page.
At least one response Fraternity 🙂
It seem that matter are kind of…forgotten
For my kind of site/ project this would be perfect.
Also i´d like to mention a hidden (at least for me) fact: on a new install of bp 1.7 + bbpress we have no choice to stay with the now “retired” bp forum compnent.
I´m telling you that because with the old forum component + we can achieve buddypress subgroups and subforums aswell.
moebis…where the hell are you ? 🙂 we need your hack. please elaborate a bit more …
Also, sorry to derail a bit, but any comment on scalability of this?
I currently run three forums, one each for a different capital city in my country, each with around 15 subforums.
My plan is to combine these into a single site, so each group forum would have 15 subforums – which would be about 45 forums just to replicate what I have now.
I’d then like to create another 10 or so site forums, so that our members from different cities can discuss general topics. And then I’d like to add more groups – initially I’d be adding 3 more groups, for 3 more cities in my country, which would be another 45 forums.
That right away takes me up to 106 forums (10 sitewide, 6 group forums and 90 subforums), before I even start expanding the geographic reach of our groups beyond our country’s borders.
Let’s say I expand into 50 different cities, I’m looking at about 810 subforums (10 sitewide, 50 group forums, 750 subforums).
John mentions “There are a few technical challenges regarding performance that don’t make it entirely feasible” and I wonder if this was what he was getting at?
Perhaps I’m posting this in the wrong section.. but figured you’re probably going to run into a similar issue, moebis
Throwing a post on here to get notified as replies, as this is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
This bit looks promising: “Good News All!!! Ok…. I have sub forums working in buddypress with a small hack to group.php (in latest trunk of bbpress 2.3)”
Hello All,
I installed bbPRess and GD bbPress attachment plugin in my site and I used Magman responsive theme. But there is something problem. When I click on Author of the Topic the profile of author is not display. Can anyone please help me for this issue. And Sorry for my poor English.
Thank You All
Has anyone had any luck in including the ability to change the style of their bbpress forum? I am going to create a day/light and night/dark bbpress.css file. I want my users to be able to switch from one to the other.
If nothing like this has been done before or exists, then could you point me in the right direction to acquire the know-how to do this myself? Thank you.
Exactly, it’s 1.2 version… Sorry, I’m a bit new to wp & related so I don’t know the history…
Thanks
or at least a quick 1, 2, 3 for files to put in place so that the forums are a little more stylized but the WP theme is untouched?
I got the same problem. Help!
Lynq,
Thnaks for your unput. I played with several ideas, but in the end just added a libe to bbpress’s widgets.php on line 140 as follows :
<a href="edit” >Amend Profile/Change password
That did the trick.
https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/ – has info on older versions
Its probably 1.2 which i think is that last standalone version. bbpress is much better if its running inside of wordpress, it eliminates issues with members.
I would install WordPress and then activate bbPress through the plugin version.
Gee, am I the only one with this problem?
I have a very specific use case that i need to take a topic and its replies and output in a html table. Any suggestions on how one might do this? I’ve had some success using WP_Query to output the data but having trouble grouping items with there respective forums, topics and replies. Any help is appreciated
Hello. I’ve just switched from wampserver to ampps by softaculous, because it’s python/perl default integration, and I’ve also noticed their script installer. And there is WordPress in CMS/blog scripts, and also bbPress in forum scripts. I was curious, and I’ve installed bbpress, and this isn’t a wordpress with bbpress plugin already installed, but it’s only bbpress, standalone, strict forum without pages, posts, everything that wordpress has, but only with very similar to wordpress file structure and dashboard. But here it can be only downloadable as a plugin, and I’ve also see this nowhere yet… Is this maybe a softaculous’ “version”, that they integrated a plugin in wp engine, so that plugin can run? It’s very interesting thing, but it’s limited extendability bothers me, you can’t install new themes or plugins.
I’m now confused with this “standalone” bbpress, anyone knows more about this?
Thanks
All you need for 2nd question I think is Full-width template without sidebars for bbpress forums, forum and topic page?
Hi,
i’ve just installed buddypress 1.7 and bbpress 2.2.4.
I created a custom theme for bbpress doing the following steps:
1. create a folder bbpress inside wp-content/themes/mytheme/
2. moved all the php files that were inside plugins/bbpress/templates/default
3. moved the css file inside wp-content/themes/mytheme/css/
after that
I turned on the functionality to include the bbpress forum inside buddypress groups but I found and issue with the topic subscription and add to favorites.
Because when i click on that link in the single topic view it open a blank page.
I checked the bbp-function.php files stored in plugins/bbpress/templates/default and I found that it enqueue all the ajax function for the topic subscribe option and add to favorite options.
But when I go the forum page inside BuddyPress Group and open the source code I don’t see any enqueue ajax files or functions.
So what should I do to let it works?
thanks
if you search the wordpress plugin repository for “avatar” or “bbpress avatar” you will find several options
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+avatar
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=avatar
this one looks good, and explicitly supports bbpress
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-avatar/
this one works too
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar/
you may also need to grant forum users upload permissions using something like User Role Editor
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

I’m using bbpress 2.2.4, wordpress 3.5.1
If I edit a (non-sticky) topic created by another user and change the forum that the topic should be in – the topic is saved properly but it is made sticky. This only occurs if I am editing the topic on the front end (using the admin links). Changing the forum from the back end (wp-admin) does not cause the topic to become sticky.
Any idea what’s happening here?
Stephen, could you tell us which plugins have avatar support for bbPress? I haven’t been able to find any.
Thanks
This is probably a dumb question, but I’ve searched the forums and the documentation and haven’t turned anything up. I’m learning bbPress and need to be able to add avatars to the forums I’m creating. Could someone please suggest a few WordPress plugins that are simple to set up?
Thanks very much for your help!
