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?

@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.

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.

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?

The actual link is below…

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?

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!

[FlipFlop]

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!
