Hi guys,
I have a forums site though WordPress and bbPress and would like to know if the feature stated below is possible or hopefully created.
Hopefully it’s possible for there an alerts button in the menu bar that shows them recent replies to subscribed topics on a page.
What I need is for every time someone has replied to a topic they are subscribed to, in the menu bar the alerts link will have an icon with how many alerts (unread) eg (2) in an icon. This would require the alerts page too.

I saw this on forums powered by another forum software. (PAID)

I use the latest bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
ayden1232

My goal is to share one DB between wp and bbpress, one registration, seamless for users. The process of accomplishing this seems to have changed.

There’s all sorts of documentation on this topic and I’ve spent the last five hours trying to find my answer before bothering the good people of the internet, so I would greatly appreciate a hand now. It would appear that in recent changes, bb-config.php no longer exists? Installation process where you can fill out DB details in an easy form process seems to be gone?

Integrating with WordPress

So the settings must be in a config file somewhere! This infamous “WordPress Integration” section must be somewhere!

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.2.4

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have created a ticket in trac for this https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2249

[Stephen Edgar]

I just tested this and cannot reproduce it using the latest bbPress beta.

Can you try the with the latest beta and if it is still an issue open a ticket on trac.

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

[Stephen Edgar]

This is fixed for the next release of bbPress.

[Sam Rohn]

you need to use something like GD bbPress Tools to enable shortcodes for bbpress

I just started using bbpress 2.2.4. I’m using Twenty-twelve 1.1 theme, WP 3.5.1 and Impact Page Builder. When I create a forum, I can’t assign my Impact template to it. The forum page is just plain white. How do I fix this? Here is the link to the forum page: http://northidahocvma.org/forums/forum/members-input?preview=true
I would like the forum page to look something like this one:
http://northidahocvma.org/forum
Thanks so much!

@rewindcaz I actually disabled all of the default avatar systems that WordPress provides and created my own with a few small functions. I needed a custom made plugin because each avatar on the site is unlocked when you receive a new card to your collection.  Users can also customize their chosen avatar with nine alternative colours, which helps provide individuality.

As I’ve received a ton of feedback from the Rats Clan bbPress forum I’m going to start blogging about my code – I’ll make sure this is one of my posts! 🙂

[rewindcaz]

This is spectacular, props!

Could you clue me in on how you were able to provide a list of avatars for users to choose from? This kind of avatar system is something I would *love* to do myself.

I use a bbpress child theme CSS in my theme folder (/myTheme/css/bbpress.css), and it works just great. However, typically when I need to force visitors to re-download a css file, I do the common strategy of just adding a “?newversion” (or random text/number) at the end of the file name, like:

`link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/stylesheet.css?NEWVERSION1″ type=”text/css” `

However, since the child theme is being output through wp_head();, I have no way of doing this. Is there a way I can force visitors to reload this bbp child theme? Worst case scenario would be finding which bbPress file is hooking the child theme into wp_head, and me having to write in the “?newversion” in there. But I’ve no idea what file that would be.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I also have the similar issues that I cannot deactivate the bbpress plugin. If I do, I lose the admin dashboard and get the login/change error “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I have not used multi-site option, merely installed the plugin to begin to evaluate for use on my site.

The only thing we have been able to figure out to do is to leave the plugin activated. But that is not a long term solution.

Please advise how I can deactivate the plugin without breaking my site admin capabilities.

or if i could get some easy instructions.

Hello all.

I’ve just deleted Simple Press, because I couldn’t import editor except plain editor.

I’ve installed this bbpress forum and I have no information about change or basic development.

For example I have a page that was installed simple press upon it. http://www.oyundragon.com/forum

And it is full-width. That’s why I want to use that page to show bbpress forum. Inserted shortcoded, good, it works But what a pity there is a bbpress forum page as you know http://www.oyundragon.com/forums

What should I do ?

Secondly how can I change “forum” title in the top of every forum sections in the content ?

[akgt]

Hi could someone give me a updated theme, I dont know css, a pain I know .

[Jim S.]

I’m having a similar problem. WP 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and all bbPress posts are being pushed to my site’s primary RSS feed for some reason. I’ve disabled all plugins, but the problem continues. Any thoughts or ideas as to what may be causing this?

[fontadoni]

Hello,

I need help with creating a log in box. I know the shortcode to use in the sidebar or in a wordpress page is [bbp-login], but I would like to create a log-in-box right on the main page of the forums as seen at studiopress.com/forums. I know that for this I need to add the code to the php template, though I do not know the code. Can you guys help me with the php code? Thanks in advance.

I’m using bbpress 2.2.4

[chickster25]

Hi,

Where is the 1st plugin in this link please https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/4?replies=1 as I am unable to find any plugins via that link?

Thanks

[@mercime]

@supernaturalbrews for Triton Lite, make a copy of page-no-sidebar.php file from parent theme and Save As bbpress.php in your child theme folder.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is enabled by default in the upcoming bbPress 2.3.

You can grab the bbPress beta 2 from here https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/02/bbpress-2-3-beta-2/

[akgt]

Will this feature be in the next update, or could I add a bit of code to functions ?

I did have a look but nothing that it will work with bbpress, ill keep looking .

Can’t seem to spot a trend. I’m also noticing a lot of oddities. The “Group Forum” index from BuddyPress shows there are forums, within groups, that have posts. When I click to view any of the threads that show up on the Group Forum index, it says there are no posts.

Something must be misconfigured, as I can’t imagine WordPress & BuddyPress & bbPress should be this complicated. I’ll go back to the drawing boards and re-read some of the documentation.

Thanks for helping me get the majority of the user-issue figured out.

[Stephen Edgar]

I can’t think of any off the top of my head…

Try searching for a plugin though…

https://bbpress.org/plugins/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Thank you 🙂
Its good to hear it from one of main developer 🙂

Sadly it will take time to accepted in wp repo if they close my tickets without reviewing  like https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11449

[SupernaturalBrews]

@mercime anything related to bbpress I would like to have full width without sidebar.

I’m using triton lite.

I put the above code into the child theme css and it got rid of the sidebar but its not full width.
