Hello,

I am still running a jurassic version of BBpress (1.0.2).

I would like to call a different header when the forum id is 10.

I have created “header2.php”

My topic.php page starts with:

How can i transform that line in a way that says:

Of course i am a total noob, of course i am not a developer, of course any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi I am a user of bbpress 2.2 and WordPress 3.5.

I have a category with two topics.
I am wondering if it is possible to create a custom view that allows one to view all the posts within the category regardless of the forums (sorted by, say, post time)?
If so, please enlighten me!

Hi guys, I’m using the latest WordPress and BBpress over at http://cdiving.com/forums/

On the main forum page I would like to change the Freshness column so that it showed the last post in the forum instead.

Is this possible at all?

Thank you.

I have buddypress with bbpress installed on my site and i want to hide posts from certain forums from non-logged in users. I’ve tried using this code but it’s not working:

I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Hey all

I’m running bbpress with wordpress, WPML, buddypress and the buddybosstheme. I have three fora with three subfora each, two fora and their subfora are translations of the default EN fora and subfora respectively.

When I want to create a new topic in NL or FR, these are posted under the default langguage and do not show up in the list of topics of the subforum.
Changing the language in the backend to the correct one does make them show up. If you view a topic you can’t see the actual content.
Same thing for replies. Replies don’t show up, even if you change the language.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Pieter

Hi, I have added bbPress with my WP and BP installation, no problems, thanks very much.

I am instructed to set the forum attribute type to Category not Forum. OK, done that, works.

But… I have read through the bbPress documentation about nesting forums which makes some mention of categories, but it is not clear to me how categories are or what the use case is.

The only place in-the-wild I have seen nested forums is on the hungarian site someone announced about 5 days ago.

Maybe I have seen categories somewhere, but I wouldn’t necessarily know.

Can anyone elaborate?

Thanks

This is a known bug https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2204

Hello, I haven’t kept up with bbPress lately but out of curiosity I came back to see how it was going. So I ran a test site with the latest 3.5.1 version of WordPress and subsequently added bbPress via the plugins page.

I must say that you guys have done well. I was sure that this software was going to end but it looks like you finally gave bbPress a permanent niche in the dev world. I loved the older versions of it as well, when the forum software had it’s own site and database. I would often toy with WordPress themes and customize bbPress to match them. But this was, by far, the easiest installation of bbPress I ever ran. It seems more common sense to use it as a plugin with WordPress since it so many people use them together.

Anyways, I knew from the overhaul of this website that the dev team hadn’t given up. I give you guys props for keeping it alive! Now all that’s left to do is keep up with rivals (ahem, Vanilla).

Keep up the good work!

I’ve got a new website I’m setting up, and this is my first time using forums. I’m not sure what to tweak so that my forums don’t also activate the “blog” tab.

Currently when you look at my site (http://n7hrc.org), the menus work fine except when you are on the forum menu. When you are on the forum menu, the forum menu AND the blog menu show up as active pages.

What I want is for only the forum menu to show active when you are on the forum page or any of its subpages (subforums).

Is there a setting I missed somewhere?

Wordpress version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.2.4

Thanks, I finally got it! One question, though….

According to what you told me, my forum page should be located at http://example.com/forums

This did not work (I get a 404 error). Instead, it is http://example.com/?post_type=forum. I used this for the url in the custom menu, and it works.

Is this going to be a problem down the road?

I don’t know why it matters, but this is a typical WP install using an ftp client (uploaded WP from my computer to the server and did the quick install). As an experiment today, I used the simple-script feature from Bluehost (my host) to do a test WP install in another location. I installed bbpress on it and the forums page is where you said it would be (http://example.com/forums).

Any idea why my forums are at this other address?

Thanks

This seems to do the trick…

Thanks !!! it worked for me too!!

  @mitesh-patel i´m very pleased!!! thanks

Oh, sorry. I didn’t see you were using BBPress below version 2.

But the logic that creates the textarea is probably in the same theme files in your version. Of course they won’t be using the new WP front end editor though.

[Ajchimera]

I have search but I can not find the file that controls the bbpress textarea because I want to add some javascript to re-size it like twitter.

I’m running WP & BP 1.7 beta

Thanks

Situation:

Have a WP (3.5.1) installed and multi site enabled to use sub domains only (no top level domain mapping)

1. Create 1st Sub Site sub1.mysite.com and assign it to a new user (tom)
2. In another browser (Firefox) i login as tom to wp-admin and am able to got to the dashboard of sub1.mysite.com
3. Create a 2nd Sub Site sub2.mysite.com and assign it to user Tom
4. I switch back to firefox and f5 (refresh page) I can see in the top admin bar that Tom now has 2 subsites…and i can navigate to the dashboard of both sites…

I then proceed to install buddypress and activate it at the primary site (mysite.com – not network activated) as per tutorial @ http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/

After which i repeat steps 1 thru 4 above to make sure i can still create and access subsites as the user Tom… and yes I can… We’re goo to here

Then I install bbpress following the same tutorial on the above video…

Now that I have a installation that comprises of WP3.5.1 Multisite configuration + Buddy Press + bbPress… I test once more…

So i proceed to perform the same steps 1 thru 4 above.. but this time with different results..

If i create the subsites via superadmin and try to login as user Tom.. I’m able to..

But if i go to front end of site using another browser (Firefox) i am able to login using my user and pass as Tom. But when i add an additional blog under Toms user account.. the blog gets created..

I then refresh the page and logout as Tom and the log back in as Tom i can see the admin bar has the new site listed under my sites. But when i go to mouse over the newly self created site the only two options i see are dashboard and visit site.

If i click dashboard i get a blank page with the error message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

If i deactivate bbPress and then try to access the same sub site i still get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

However if i register another sub site as Tom i can access the dashboard for this newly created subsites (Site created after deactivation of bbPress)

Reading blog’s and forums..

It appears to be an issue with roles and capabilities of a self generated sub site when bbPress is activated…

I have now spent 2+ days messing around with this and these is little documentation here at bbPress site..

In fact the documentation is available here…: http://bbpress.org/about/multisite/ and is useless as its not done…

There seems to be a million install guides that all show how to activate and configure bbPress..

Am i the only one with this issue as no one seems to be speaking about this anywhere that i have read…

HELP!!! Anyone.. Someone..

Thanks @mitesh-patel, that worked perfectly!

I was hoping if you could help me out with putting the username on the list of topics page (such as on bbpress.org/support) in the freshness column? Currently, there is just the person’s name.

I’m currently working with/foisting my testing on @Clicknathan (Hi, Nathan!) on a plugin to address the goals of indicating unread topics, indicating topics that have unread replies, and providing a means to jump to the first unread reply for a given topic. (This is my first foray into the wild-n-wacky world of bbPress, PHP, and WordPress plugins…very educational thus far…)

My first cut is another solution using user metadata; I store a map of topic IDs to last-read-reply IDs. It looks like this `$TOPIC-ID:$LAST-REPLY-ID|$TOPIC-ID:$LAST-REPLY-ID|$TOPIC-ID:$LAST-REPLY-ID`.

When rendering topics in the loop, I check the topic’s metadata for last-reply ID, and compare it to the last-read-reply ID in the user’s map. If there is no matching topic in the map, I add a CSS class for “unread topic”; if there is a matching topic, and the last-read-reply ID is less than the last-reply ID, I add a CSS class for “unread replies”.

When handling replies, I update the map (only in memory!) as I loop through each reply, then commit the map back to user metadata after processing all replies. I also check each reply ID; if it is the first one I find greater than the last-read-reply ID from the map for the current topic, I throw in a “first-unread” anchor tag, so it can be easily jumped to on the client side.

Currently, I don’t limit the number of topic/last-read-reply pairs I store in the user metadata; I’m quite sure there will be a point where performance suffers.

I’m also unsure how best to handle pagination for the “jump to first unread reply” question; while dropping the anchor tag is easy enough, I’m not sure how to properly form the URL to which to append the anchor tag ref, without some fairly complex logic involving looking up the relative index of the first unread reply in the set of all replies for the topic.

Anyway, I’d love some feedback at the conceptual level now, and I’d even more appreciate some solid criticism when I get the plugin whipped into shape and submitted.

Appears to be resolved in 2.3. I was also able to get around the issue by using a third party theme (i.e. Skeleton). Thank you!

[Stephen Edgar]

I don’t see any problems there with the topic & reply I just created
http://www.big-data-forum.org/?topic=via-netweb-bbpress-org

A couple of things though… You may want to change your ‘permlink’ structure to use ‘pretty permalinks’ https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

When you are trying to find a problem with your site try disabling all your plugins except bbPress and see if the problem still occurs, if it is fixed reenable each plugin one by one and check for the problem again to isolate if it is a plugin causing the problem.

You should also test using the ‘Twenty Ten’ or ‘Twenty Twelve’ themes included with WordPress to make sure it is not an issue with the theme you are using.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you download bbPress 2.3 beta 2 and see if this is fixed, there have been a few changes with topics.js that will be shipping with bbPress 2.3 and with some luck this is no longer an issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

Start of with the docs here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ and you should start looking at the files that contain ‘search’ in the filename.

I’m trying to setup a really basic forum for the first time i WordPress, but I must admit that it has shown more difficult than first expected.

Well after hours of bug finding I’m down to one problem, which is that BBpress doesn’t refresh when you make a post. The problem seems to be related to caching, cause when I disable caching in Chrome it works. No matter what I do I however just can’t seem to figure our how to make my browsers (firefox + Chrome) not cache the page in the first time.

The test forum is located here:
http://www.big-data-forum.org/?forum=big-data-3

bbPress Version 2.2.4
Wordpress Version 3.5.1

To post you have to login with:
Usr: Test
Passw.: 123456

Hope that somebody can help me out 🙂

Best regards
Tobias

Great!

It didn’t work initially, but when I changed .singular to .forum it worked (lucky hunch) as I knew I’d selected forum.php in BBPressWPTweaks to be the ‘forum wrapper’?

The title (which I stupidly called a header in the last post) is still indented to the right, though, and the body (is that the right word?) of the forum stuff is still too far left. Any idea why they aren’t lining up with the first menu option, like they do on the other pages?

http://bigbirthas.co.uk/forums/forum/forum/

(don’t ask me why it’s forums/forum/forum… I haven’t a clue, and since it works, don’t care either!)

I can live with it as it is (because I’ve tried writing adding some code to your last bit which made zero difference, and it’s already a vast improvement on what I had before!), but ideally I’d like both the title and the body to be in the same place as it is on the other pages (which have sidebar.php as their templates, if that helps).

Thank you in advance if you can help – you’ve helped loads already!

Hello people..

I love the simplicity of WordPress and one of its best plugin bbPress.
Thanks for creating this great plugin, I love IT!

Now to the question, I would like to customize the layout/design of the search page.
How do I do it? In which file is the search result located?

Regards

[Erlend]

Thanks for reporting. However, for now, Threaded Replies is custom plugin functionality that falls outside of our scope. If you can’t fix this yourself you’ll probably have to wait for bbPress 2.4, as it is my understanding that Threaded Replies will be merged into core by then.
