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
link to site: http://n7hrc.org

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.

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.

[DanBlumenfeld]

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.

[brickwhale]

IE9 is throwing this error for me on a fresh installation of WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4. Same as above – it only applies to visitors who have not logged in. Any suggestions?

[cfree]

`/forums` is an archive of all forums, different from a page using the `page-front-forums.php` template with a slug of `/forums`. Is there a way to target the forums home without using the `page-front-forums.php` page template? Currently my full list of forums is using the same template files as the full list of sub-forums, and that doesn’t look so great.

[blindscientist]

I too am looking for something like this. It seems so obvious, that I must be missing something. is bbPress capable of this? Thanks in advance.

[nitzanginsberg]

Hi,

I installed bbpress on wordpress 3.5.1 (on localhost),

How can I see the forum on the top menu ?

Thanks

[Cask]

I would like to be able to create custom user roles for bbpress

We have a premium membership feature for the communities with our organisation and one of the things I would like to do is to be able to create a custom user role for the communities who have paid for premium without screwing up future upgrades as indicated in this post.

By default, when a user creates a group you are automatically granted with powers to create forums. There is an option to turn this off but that would make my intended function redundant. I would like to have it so that by default you can’t create forums unless you have paid for premium. FYI, we do not have site-wide forums activated, only group forums.

Is it possible to create a user role for each community, with subset permissions to be able to have a keymaster, moderator, participant etc. for their own group forums?

On a side note, I cant seem to be able to change the group forums from fixed to liquid… any ideas how I can do this?

[oneshortleg]

I installed bbpress on my wordpress site. It is a new site, I have no other plugins installed. It still have the default 2012 theme.

I can access the forum menus from the dashboard, and I’ve created a few forums. If I click “view” in the list of forums from the dashboard, I can see them.

However, when I go to see my web page, there is no option on the navigation menu for the forums. There is just “Home”, “Blog”, and one other page I already created.

How is one visiting the site supposed to find the forums?

I tried Simple Press briefly and it just created it’s own page and a menu link. I also tried Mingle, and for that I needed to create a page on the navigation menu for it before I did the install. What do I need to do for bbpress?

Thanks

Congratulations! You have successfully registered a new site.

OK, so, I have established that ‘Group’ forum posts are good to go and I can edit them! (bbPress is still not mailing but that’s perhaps just an issue in itself)

This issue seems to have shown its face on numerous occasions in the last three years looking into older posts, but as of yet I have not found any answers vis such posts.

Really appreciate ‘any’ information anyone can give me to further my troubleshooting. I don’t want to be beaten!

Thanks
