@jasoncoffee My bad, I just updated the post above with a link to the bbPress 2.3 beta 2.

[peripatew]

For each week, I’ll have posts title like this in a forum:
Monday Morning
Monday Evening
Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Evening
Wednesday ”
Wednesday ”
Thursday ”
Thursday ”
Friday ”
Friday ”

I want to hide/archive/move these out of the forum each week, as the next week will have posts with the same name. Within Vanilla Forum’s, I could just archive posts that were _TIME_ old. What’s the easiest way to do that within bbPress? I’ll be needing to do this each week, for all the forums on my site (just a few now, but more each week).

If there’s a better workflow for this, let me know!

I am looking under Import and I am not seeing SimplePress5 as an option.

[michaellanfield]

bbpress version 2.2.4
website http://www.michaellanfield.com
forum page http://www.michaellanfield.com/?post_type=forum

Just a question
As I am doing now, I would like the categories to appear in the main forum page under each main forum. How to do this?

Another question is. The forum fonts are way too small. How do I make them a little larger?
Also I want to be able to delete the forums main title right above actual forum. Not the menu forum link, just the page title, but I do not want to remove all website page titles. Thank you.

@ashenkargmailcom – I’m going to take a fresh crack at all of this next week (Feb 25+). For now ‘network enabling’ bbpress ‘works’ but like we’ve already discussed in the other thread/topic not exactly a robust sol’n, more of an awkward, potentially dangerous band-aid imho. I plan to make a 100% mirror of a clients production site (wp_ms 3.5.1, bp 1.6.4, bbp 2.2.3) & see if I can’t figure out exactly what’s happening on the groups > topics front, as in why new topics/replies can’t be created within the actual buddypress group > forum.

Stay tuned,
Jeff

I just got it to work. I needed to rename items similar to @gregfielding.

1. edit the file bbpress.pot file in poedit.
2. create the folder “bbpress” in the wordpress content languages folder. Make the languages folder if you need to so your path looks like this: wp-content/languages/bbpress
3. save the edited bbpress.pot file as bbpress-en_US.po
4. upload the created po and mo files to the bbpress folder in lanugaes. reset your cashe to see it working

Greg it looks like you were close but you have a dash instead of an underscore in the filename. I’m assuming the filename is also case sensitive.

I just created a site and installed bbpress forums along with contact form 7 and contact form db. After a user registers for the forums, it sends them an email with their passwords. The only problem is that they can’t change their passwords after that as they cannot access their profile pages. Is there a way for me to implement a “profile” option as a page and then install it in top menu?

I just upgraded to wp 3.5.1 and the new bbpress in one go.. unfortunately, none of the user pages or user edit profile pages work at all… blank white screen, no 404, server error… eek! My website is http://www.humandalas.com/forum/

If I can’t get it working, which php file can I edit or how to create a hook? so the “bbp-topic-freshness-author” links go to an author page instead.

Hi,

I am using bbPress for a WordPress website. It is working great, but I have few problems to customize it…

In the WP theme I made, I have a breadcrumb (created in functions.php), and in the forums pages, I also have the bbPress breadcrumb that is displayed. Because mine doesn’t work in the forum pages (because I don’t succeed in displaying the custom posts), I would like to do something like this in my theme files:
– If the Forum Page is displayed –> display my_breadcrumb(); (because it is a normal post)
– If the other forum pages are displayed –> display bbp_breadcrumb(); (because they are custom posts)

But for this (stop me if I am wrong) I think I have to edit the bbp_template_before_forums_loop in the bbp-theme-compat folder, to remove manually the bbp_breadcrumb and to display it in my theme, but I can’t find in which file is called bbp_template_before_forums_loop.

Thanks by advance for your help, and don’t hesitate to ask if you need more details!

I’m experiencing the same issue as what you described. I made a topic about it under the subject line, “Buddypress group forum not working.”

Did you get it working without resorting to network enabling bbPress?

[Ikenna]

@mooni thank you, the link you provided for me I think will sort some issues out for me. I will diggin and explore more to get a deeper meaning and understanding of this problem. Thank you for help, deeply felt.

[Ikenna]

@moonoi I am so happy for you. Indeed you did get me going. Now I think I can move on with my work. This have always been a nightmare to me. Many thanks to you once again.

In the step by step guide they said I should copy everything in the in bbp-theme folder and send it to my child theme folder. What do they mean by that? I want to customize the look and layout of my bbpress forum. Any more explanation will be deeply appreciated.

[davidfan]

I managed to create a child theme and upload the default theme from 2.1.3 and everything works fine now. Still trying with the default template from 2.2.4.

[moonoi]

I’m no expert on bbpress theming, but I got it working on my site.

The bbpress theme files are in the `bbpress/templates/default` folder.

Whatever you copy from this core bbp theme folder into your own theme folder will override the core bbp theme files. (I think).

Probably someone more knowing about bbpress theming should help you out further, but until then, I hope I might have gotten you going again.

This is a nice guide to what the individual theme files actually do:

I am using buddypress 1.6.4, WordPress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.2.4. My website is on the localhost xamp server. I am using bp-columns theme as my Buddypress Child Theme. Please I would like to know how to create a bbpress child theme. I followed the step by step guide on how to create a bbpress child theme and it have so useful to me. The problem I have with it is this line that says: go to bbPress’ theme folder. That is, go to wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten. Download all the files from this folder except style.css. These are the files that will style your bbPress theme.

I can’t find the bbp-themes and bbp-twentyten folders in my bbpress installation.

Any help on this will be deeply appreciated!

Hi,

This is my first time trying to integrate bbpress on a wordpress site. I have purchased a premium theme from mojo theme but unable to get bbpress 2.2.4 to work on my page at all. If I switched the theme back to twentytwelve then the bbpress functions as normal. I tried running the forum using shortcode, however, only the shortcode page would work, and if I click on a topic nothing is showing up again.

I have been reading through different topics in this forum for the past 4 hours but result has been a little confusing.

Can someone please help?

Thanks,
David

I noticed that bbpress has no option to apply style by adding class inside of iframe.
But, I’d like to do this way,

<iframe class="span12 clearfix"…

Is there way to do without modifying bbpress source code?

[jeffacubed]

@alexander – hmm, my links don’t seem to be working in the bbPress forums (odd). If you google “bbpress multisite cannot post group topics” you’ll find a topic by @wdfee on the same issue. For whatever reason, none of my bbPress links seem to be working (very odd…)

I have a funny feeling someone will figure this out soon, perhaps even me or you, as even my ‘temporary’ sol’n is to leave bbPress activated site-wide, which I don’t really want to do. I’m with you on ‘fix/understand the problem’ rather than mask it over. If I discover anything, I’ll definitely let you know. Like I mentioned, I’m almost positive I fixed this same issue a few months ago…

The link above is dead — is there a way to override the default forums link to use the login/register link?

[h646572]

Thank you labsecrets! It was hard to find info on Woo support but this worked for me!

As an aside, bbpress was broken with Atahualpa, too — maybe this is really a bug with bbpress?

[jeffacubed]

The actual link is below…

[jeffacubed]

Alexander – I’ve been experiencing EXACTLY what you describe on a Buddypress (1.6.4) + bbPress (2.2.4) multisite (WordPress 3.5.1), in that I can create new group topics from the back end (check), from the site-wide forums area (check) but NOT within the actual buddypress group area (front-end). As odd as this might sound, I did try enabling bbPress (over the entire multisite) which then enabled me to post/create new topics & replies from the front-end of the groups/forums area. If I switch bbPress back to being enabled only on site 1 (i.e the root in my multisite environment) then I’m back to the inability to post/create topics & replies via the front-end, though again this all works from the back-end + via the site-wide forums area (i.e new topic to a specific group forum works 100%).

So, I’ve concluded that somewhere along the line, there’s some sort of corruption, likely in one of the db tables &/or relationships. You’re not the only person I’ve heard of who has had this exact problem over the past few months w bbPress + buddypress + WP multisite. As a test, I created a multisite BuddyPress + bbPress fresh install, and the ability to create/post topics & replies from the front-end (within the group forums area) works 100% (i.e no disappearing). This test also works whether bbPress was enabled sitewide or a a specific site in the multisite network.

A very confusing problem indeed. The frustrating piece is I’ve actually come across this problem before (~ 3 months) ago, resolved it, though now I can’t 100% recall the steps I took to rectify!

I think I’ll tackle this one again, as the idea of needed to enable bbPress as a network activation to resolve the issue is not the most ideal situation, at least not for me.

Good luck!

Sorry for the ambiguous title. I have bbpress on a site, using the compatibility theme. The rest of the forums have always worked correctly and apart from a few css tweaks, have always looked good and matched the theme.

I recently noticed however, that the User Profile pages; profile, topics created, favourites etc, seem to ignore all the css and consequently have no layout/structure.

Here is a normal forum page on the site… Forums
The layout is correct, the sidebar is positioned correctly and has a PNG background creating the ‘shadow’. A title bar with page title is displayed below the header and navigation.

Here is an example of a User Profile page… Topics Started
There’s no css structure, the sidebar is at the bottom, there’s no PNG background behind the sidebar, theres no title bar and page title. It’s as if the CSS is being ignored.

As another example, on this page I have added the code below to user-profile.php and the sidebar is correct, but it still has no background PNG, title bar etc… User Profile

Any idea whats going on?

`
#sidebar { float: left; width: 230px !important; }
#main { float: left; width: 730px !important; }
`

I’m using the latest version of bbPress, Buddypress, in a subdomain multisite environment.

I have the site-wide forum enabled. It works.

I also have “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums” enabled. This part doesn’t quite work.

In the groups admin, I can enable the group forum. After I do this, the forum tab appears and shows that there are no new topics in the group’s forum. I can also see the new forum as a subgroup of the parent group-forum.

When I post new topics to the group’s forum, they don’t show up. They just disappear. I don’t even see them in the backend in the Topics view.

This briefly worked before – and then it stopped. I might have changed some slugs, and enabled and then disabled the Buddypress forum component.

I’ve ran the forum error checker in Tools/Forum. There are also no slug conflicts in Settings/Forum.

What can I do next?
