As per above can you please create a bug ticket on trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

We need as much detail as possible so detailed step by step instructions will help us to recreate the bug and find a solution.

Plugins in the old version of bbpress need to be uploaded by ftp, there’s no button or search for that. I advise you install wordpress and use the latest bbpress plugin version instead, even if you don’t want to use wordpress. I just converted from the standalone version a few weeks ago and I’m glad I did.

Why would you want to install a version that’s not supported anymore, when you have the option to start fresh with the latest version? You’ll run into a lot of problems eventually so might as well do it now.

[fontadoni]

Create a new wordpress page called “registration” (or whatever you wish to call it). On that new page add the shortcode [bbp-register] and publish it. Then add the link to the new page you just created on the sidebar widget, for example: your site.com/registration/

Here’s a list of all the shortcodes you can use: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Also, topic thumbnails plugin doesn’t work with bbPress Post Toolbar aswell.

Somehow it only responds to [img] tags.

[dsherer]

I need help I have installed my bbPress plugin and setup all my forums but I do not know how to get it onto a page. I have found a shortcode but my forum front page looks like this

http://guardian247.us/?post_type=forum

if you click on a link then the the next page looks like a forum. How do I get it to look like a forum on the fron page?

Hello,

I want to sort the bbPress index page, to have the newest forums at the top at and the oldest at the bottom??

[Soukous]

I have just installed BBpress 2.2.4 into WordPress 3.5.1

I have a login widget on my sidebar.
In this widget there is a field for a URL that will take new (unregistered) users to a registration page.
What is this URL? If it is specific to my site, how do I create/define it?

[archivedb]

Because right now I’m editing files at /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress and I know it’s wrong and I will lose everything on update.

I’ve crated a child theme of my own theme (do I really have to do that? can’t I just create a dictionary within my own theme?), activated it, copied all bbpress theme files to this child theme, but I’m not sure how to “link” them to bbpress? Because after everything bbpress was still using theme files from /plugins/ dictionary…

Anyone?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for this stupid question, but bbpress documentation is really confusing, I’d love to understand bbpress more so I could help others though.

Okay, contacted WishList, and confirmed (again) that WLM is the culprit. WishList’s position is that they don’t support bbPress, but they’re helping me troubleshoot a bit.

I’ve got a dev site with the unencrypted plugin for testing/debugging, but I’m not really sure where to start… I welcome your suggestions here or on twitter @alexweberis.

How would you suggest I troubleshoot this issue further? Ideally, I’d like to be smart about it, rather than trying to go through the WishList Member plugin “from the top”.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hello,

I am using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4

Site: http://meditationpracticeornot.com/

I added a new keymaster user to create forums and when they login the option to create a new forum is not listed. I was previously using User Role Editor and the s2member plugin, I removed them because of other issues, but I am still having problems. Any help is appreciated. If any additional info is needed let me know. Thank You

When I installed BBPress on a new site, I noticed that the default forum page (/?post_type=forum) gave me a strange title at the top of the browser (“Archive | ##:## [time]”) as if it were being dynamically generated every time I refreshed the page–and the sidebar widgets were my generic ‘page’ widgets and not the ones I’d explicitly set for the Forum/Reply/Topic pages from the Admin panel (the Reply/Topic pages display just fine; it’s only the base Forum page that’s giving an issue).

I thought I’d solved this problem by making the ‘Forum’ link in my header menu link to a generic page I made that I slapped the bbpress forum shortcode onto–and all looked well–but now in the breadcrumbs, if I click ‘Forum’ from a reply or topic page, I’m sent back to “/?post_type=forum” and left with the same issues.

Any idea what’s going on or how to resolve it? Why isn’t the Forum page accepting the sidebar widget I’ve assigned it, and why is it giving me a dynamically generated, non-helpful title?

[Sergio De Falco]

Hi people,

It’s possible because I have seen it, but how-to insert breadcrumbs before page title in bbPress (without using css)?

The title is handled by Worpdress, but if I add

php bbp_breadcrumb

before the title in a custom content-forum.php page, it doesn’t work.

Using a thirdy part plugin (like WordPress SEO by Yoast) will work, but in some pages I see Topics, not forums in the breadcrumbs (maybe due to the post_type), and it’s not really “clean”.

Who can help ne?

Thanks 🙂

FAQ – https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

The following shows the current progress of bbPress translation to French for the ‘dev’ & ‘2.2.x’ versions:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
11% – 111 Translated – 879 Untranslated – 628 Waiting

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x
% – 0 Translated – 952 Untranslated – 533 Waiting

So quite a few are done but needs an authorised ‘validator’ to approve the ‘waiting’ translations.

You can contact your local translation time via https://fr.wordpress.org/contact/ to find out who the bbPress validators are or if no luck request to become a validator yourself via https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

I am pretty sure this plugin has something with setting the forum hours.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/

It hasn’t been updated in a while but there is an unofficial update on GitHub

https://github.com/shazahm1/bbPress-Support-Forums

[eklay]

@johnnypea – Did you ever get this figured out? Using the_excerpt() anywhere on a BBPress page returns Forum content, even when called within a non-forum custom loop, and then completely clears the $post object… This is very frustrating.

[dvharrison]

Hi all

I have installed BBPress version 1.2 to act as a standalone forum alongside my online shop http://folliclehealth.com/forum/ (we don’t have WordPress installed). I created it in a separate folder so it doesn’t interfere with the main website.

Everything has gone brilliantly but I have found that there is no Install plugin button in the admin area.

Is this normal and if so, how am I supposed to integrate plugins (eg anti-span, etc)?

Please advise.

[Gettinitdone]

hello all

I am enjoying working with wordpress/bbpress/s2member on a new website.

I would like to make the forum unavailable to users from 10pm-6am. This will depend on the users time zone.

Is this possible?

Thank you

[Gettinitdone]

hello all

I am enjoying working with wordpress/bbpress/s2member on a new website.

I would like to limit all users time, except for admin, to 1 hour per day.

Is this possible?

Thank you

[gopanthers]

Hello? Help from anybody would be much appreciated, but now I’m wondering if anybody associated with BBpress actually supports this at all? A forum that nobody can see is pretty useless.

*bump*

[fuseful]

Did anyone help you out here?

Have to say bbPress support is absolutely useless – It’s a pity.

Perhaps someone could start an “unofficial” support forum where people actually do provide support other than:

– Ignore the issue
– Blame the issue on WordPress
– Blame the issue on WordPress theme

Hope someone can help with this simple request -How to insert a text (like adsense for example) above and below the forum page !!!

[hatherley]

I just noticed my BBpress forum has started using different avatar sizes – And I haven’t made any CSS changes as of late, anyone have a clue?

 

And one more thing, how do you guys add the @username below the real name on this bbpress installation? Is there an option I’ve missed?

Thanks!

[gabrielstuff]

Well, this hack (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1478#comment:7) correct the 404 error :
`
function fix_bbp_404() {
global $wp_query;

if ( $wp_query->bbp_is_single_user ||
$wp_query->bbp_is_single_user_edit ||
$wp_query->bbp_is_view
) {
$wp_query->is_404 = false;
// Unset nocache_headers
foreach( wp_get_nocache_headers() as $name => $field_value ) {
@header( “{$name}: ” );
}
// Set status 200
status_header( 200 );
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘fix_bbp_404’ );
`

I tried the trunk version but didn’t get any result… Hack above fix the issue… even if it return wrong title.

[magnuswp]

Hi,

So I need to locate the following text in the bbpress edit files to be able to customize them:
– “Tagged”
– “Viewing 3 topics – 1 through 3 (of 3 total)”

Where can I find them, please state the file where I can find it.

Thanks!

[Oazar]

It seems to me this is because the css used for styling is your theme styles.css.
What I did is changing the bbpress css files on line 196 for this :

`#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
margin-left: 140px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
color: #fff;

}`
and this works for me for topics and replies

[Oazar]

All my fault !

I mispelled the mo and po files names, now everything works fine !

the proper files names should be : bbpress-fr_FR.po ans bbpress-fr_FR.mo for French translations.

there are no po and mo files completed for French language in the depository, you need to do them yourself from the pot file that comes with bbpress plugin.
I am in a hurry, so I just translated part of it (it is very long !), what appears on the website but not the admin part yet.
No way to upload it easily in this forum, but I’ll be back once the translation is completed and will give a link to get it.

bye
