Hi, strange issue when trying to setup forums with buddypress groups.
The second step asks me if I want to create enable a discussion forum. If it’s checked and I try to go to the next page I get a blank screen. If I leave it unchecked it works strangely enough.
I’ve also shown this on the following screencast so others can properly understand: http://screencast.com/t/slWNcdFzCDJf
Can anyone help please?
Thanks for the template. I managed to get it integrated. The only issue I have so far is that the Forum description does not show up under the title of the Forum. Was this deliberate or an overlooked item?
Eg: http://thedragonlords.com/
It will most likely work with any theme, so long as its dependent plugins and functions do not conflict with the BBPress plugin.
Most ‘simple’ themes will work with BBPress. Advance themes like e-zines and photo blogs may need some adjustment.
Right now, I am using the Bright Pixel 1 column theme and it works perfectly with BBPress 2.2.4. However, the layout of the forum is pretty ‘fixed’ into rows. So I downloaded and used Lynq‘s Epic Invision template and it solved a part of the issue. Took me forever to figure out that BBPress 2.2.4 doesn’t support templates the way it used to.
Excellent!! Thanks v much – that worked. Although is there a way to do the same thing on category pages such as http://causepages.com/sw/forum/depression/ as well to make sure the topic preview also doesn’t grey out?
Just FYI, you might note that when trying to click into the forum rules via the link above it doesn’t actually shown the post to a non-administrator. Trying to figure out why here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/closed-topics-cannot-be-viewed-disappear/
Hi Erlend, I found where is the problem, but I dont know the solution!
In WordPress in General settings I have setup the time of my country (Greece) which is +2 hours UTC.
If I change to UTC the problem with unread icons solved, but I have wrong time in my bbpress posts.
Is something you can do?
Thanks
Whenever I create a post in a forum and add a web link, the link disappears (as does the text enclosed in the tags) from the post.
See here for example http://c3wales.org/forums/topic/test/
The site is WP 3.5.1, BBpress is 2.2.4
Theme is convention by WPZoom
Thanks
Andre: that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I scoured the net, looked through BBPress documentation for hours and FOUND NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. The ‘veterans’ of BBPress responses were in loops or archaic at best.
I’ve been working on WordPress and web development for over a decade and so often do I fall on searches that yield really unhelpful ‘answers’. HOWEVER, FINALLY there has been ONE ANSWER that beats them all!
Even though your post was made over a year ago, IT HELPED! Now I can finally stop figuring out how to use templates for BBPress 2.2.4! Thank you!
So I’m experiencing some very interesting things.
When you try to view a “private” bbpress forum it’s suppose to throw you to a “you need to register to view” page, but instead it tosses people to a 404.

I’ve jimmyrigged the 404 page to check the URL for forums and display a message, but it would be great if this just worked.
Also, when we try to go to the forum root, it redirects to a completely different section of the website.

I’m sure this is a conflict with the theme in some way, so I can work with them as well, but figured I’d start here.
Also wondering about this status of private messages. At least for admin-user interaction?
@Lynq,
I just sent you a pull request over at GitHub and updated all the things.
- Update to latest bbPress r4754 code changes
- Added README.md
- Updated bbpress-functions.php
- Updated bbpress.css
- Added custom CSS changes to bbpress-rtl.css
- Removed unused templates
bbPress r4754 is at this stage bbPress 2.3 Beta 2 and I am pretty sure any other changes we make before releasing 2.3 won’t affect any of what I just updated.
There are no changes to your code, just the bbPress updates to the latest version available.
Just add the following to your themes CSS or if you are not using a child theme there are a few ‘Custom CSS’ plugins you could use so that you are also safeguarded against theme updates also.
`#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {color: #000;}`
Just download and reinstall the plugin, your data is only deleted if you explicitly delete the data yourself. You will have to update the settings if you used custom slugs etc in bbPress options.
If you need to disable the forum in future just deactivate the plugin.
Thanks Stephen…too bad I didn’t wait for bbPress 2.3! I’m hoping someone smarter than me can find a solution for this.
I’m working on converting a BuddyPress Forums based theme to one that will support bbPress. It’s been a nightmare trying to match up template functions between buddypress and bbPress!
I’m stuck though … I am trying to pull in the author’s avatar only. The following gets me a small version of the avatar + author name:
`printf( __( ‘Creator: %1$s’, ‘bbpress’ ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => ’14’ ) ) );`
However, I’m only interested in the author’s avatar. How do I go about it?
Thank you
Oops… Looks like I got my BP’s confused again. I should have been posting this in regards to buddy press and not bbpress. My apologies for getting the two mixed up.
Unless you have the power to move this over to buddy press, you can go ahead and mark this resolved/closed.
Here is a proper example site that using firmasite theme:
http://kremim.com/ (Sorry its in Turkish language)
BuddyPress Members Page:
http://kremim.com/uye/listesi/
BuddyPress Profile:
http://kremim.com/uye/listesi/ajx/
bbPress Forum’s Topic List:
http://kremim.com/forum/soru-cevap/
Sadly we dont use groups or activity in this site.
All the BBCodes and Magic URL’s are fully converted to HTML in the upcoming bbPress 2.3
There is no current way to rerun it though to convert existing sites.
Hello all,
unfortunately I deleted the URL address to the bbPress forum that we use, in the administrator section in bbPress, in an attempt to temporarily deactivate our forum.
Unfortunately noone can log in or access the forum now.
Is there any remedy for that? Can we reactivate our forum?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Hi
I have done a search here, but nothing seems to come up.
I have installed BBpress/BuddyPress and migrated a small phpBB forum on my site http://www.wisemonkeysblog.com but the phpBB shortened URLs (and actually all the phpBB shortcodes) didn’t convert. I have tried to use a couple of plugins (eg bbPress2 BBCode ) to no avail.
I notice that the actual URL is still there in the markup, so I have converted a few of them manually…but there must be a better way. A plugin or a SQL fix perhaps.
Does anyone know of such fix?
TIA

Hi,
I’m having a very strange problem with bbpress.
I’m using the lastest version of WordPress and bbpress and I created a super stick topic. These are just rules and guidelines so I closed it to replies. I can see it in the category forum page such as this (http://causepages.com/sw/forum/health-insurance-finance/) when logged in as a user but when I actually click into it, it’s not shown. (I just get my sidebar).
Can anyone help with this please?
+1
I really would love this, can the developer please add support for bbPress?
Please help, what is wrong with my bbpress forum 2.2.4 ? Since I uploaded it is too small on page and with Newcast template of WordPress looks terrible. how can I fix it, do I need to know some coding ? Thank you for your help really appriciate it.

Additional information:
bbPress version: is 2.2.4
WordPress version: 3.5.1
Site: http://www.ElectricityClub.org
Settings:
For the forum Anonymous posting setting, “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” is unchecked. So how did an anonymous user manage to post a snoring advertisement?
Is there some other setting to block anonymous postings?
The setup:
1 site that is a WordPress/bbPress Forum site.
1 site that is a pay (non-Wordpress) forum site that is answered by industry professionals.
When a question is answered by a pro in the pay site, I run a series of insert statements that adds the topic/reply to the WordPress site.
All works as planned with one exception. I can’t edit any of the replies (I can edit topics).
When I click to edit the reply, it brings up the page to edit. I make the desired change and hit Post. It takes me right back to the same edit page with my changes still in tact. However, as soon as you leave the page and attempt to view the changes in the forum, all work has been lost.
I should also note that I did not build the WordPress site, so I don’t know if there are any errors being suppressed, or some other scenario (I don’t know where I would turn these on either).
Any thoughts?
