Here’s a solution I came up with a few months back. http://shanegowland.com/wp/2012/wordpress-plugin-multisite-bbpress-forum-participants/

[sontru]

If bbPress is running on a WordPress Multisite subdomain, then it seems to be adding network users who visit a sub site to the sub site’s users as participants – this includes the super-admin!

Activate bbPress plugin on a subdomain and ths default setting is unchecked:

`
Auto role | Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.
`

Visit the sub site as any network user, and they are added as a participant! Only after checking the Auto role option, saving and unchecking it and saving again, does this work as intended.

The second bug is a major one and can only be stopped by deactivating bbPress!

I am writing a plugin which creates users and adds them to blogs. I am using the add_user_to_blog* function and each time I call it with bbPress activated, it adds the admin user who is calling the function to ALL blogs as a participant! If I go into a subdomain as a admin user of that site, this admin user is not listed (even in subdomain who have bbPress enabled), but I as this admin can see all sites are listed in my Sites drop down. I manually look into the database and see in the wp_usermeta table that this user has capabilities and level (of 0) entries for all blogs!

Of course if I deactivate bbPress and call up the add_user_to_blog, everything works as expected, and the user calling up the function does not get added as a participant to ALL the sub sites! I think there is some sort of filter that bbPress is applying that is causing this.

Could someone look at this and see if they can replicate it and fix it?

The Group Forums issue has been resolved at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-groups-not-working/

A lack of response or lack of solution from your posts elsewhere still does not make this a bbPress support issue, closing this topic.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is the .zip file to download and extract on your PC to then upload with FTP to your webhost:

https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs/archive/master.zip

Copy all the files to your themes root directory and it should look something like this:

/wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress-functions.php
/wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress
/wp-content/themes/my-theme/css

(Where ‘my-theme’ is the name of your theme, there is nothing you need to activate.)

Now I am *really* confused! Because the file I downloaded for this theme is called “default”, and none of those files are in it 😀

[Mitesh Patel]

Same problem here as well.

What’s more, this is a problem on testbp.org as well! Although on testbp.org the ‘discussion’ page correctly gets the current_page_parent class, it fails when you go to any forum or topic page. The ‘support’ menu item on both buddypress.org and bbpress.org remains highlighted no matter where you are in forums area.

So my question would be, how did they set-up forums on bbpress.org and buddypress.org? I searched high and low – everywhere, but failed to find a solution. What are we doing wrong? IS it a wp_nav_menu specific problem or with bbpress?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2204

[Stephen Edgar]

Indeed you can do this, you just need to use a custom query to query both topic & reply custom post types.

`function my_get_posts( $query ) {

if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘topic’, ‘reply’ ) );

return $query;
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_get_posts’ );
`

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies, I missed this when you posted this. This has been fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3.release.

[Stephen Edgar]

See this topic https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-freshness-date-in-forum-topic-pages/

[Stephen Edgar]

I suggest you post this over at http://buddypress.org as it is more of a BuddyPress issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

Copy all the files to your themes root directory and it should look something like this:

• /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress-functions.php
• /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress
• /wp-content/themes/my-theme/css

(Where ‘my-theme’ is the name of your theme, there is nothing you need to activate.)

[Halo Diehard]

Hello, thank you for creating this theme! I am trying to install it and have copied the “default” file into my theme’s root. Was I supposed to only copy the files inside the default file? I don’t see any difference in my bbPress look.

Or is there somewhere on my dashboard I have to activate it?

Thanks 🙂

Guys I’m getting an error with the ‘forum’ link. On the top left corner of the forum you get Home>Forum>Fourm1>Topic1 if you are in any topic/forum. When I click at ‘Forum’ I am redirected to a page which has all the forums (Forum1, Forum2, etc..) but it comes unformatted. Plz take a look at http://wingsofindia.com/forum/forum-1/ and click on Forum on the top left for a better explanation of my problem. This prob is specific to my theme. Maybe the prob is with my style.css – not sure. Plz suggest ways..
bbpress 2.2.4

[Lynq]

Hey muffin, the theme is kind of like a jump start to get people going, it’s not a fully complete theme. Descriptions currently are a little difficult but should be able to get them sorted.

[Shashank Shekhar]

Hi I am using bbpress 2.2.4 with user-role-editor 3.10 ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/ ) and wordpress 3.5.1.
I have created a custom role ‘SiteAdministrator’ with permissions lying between Administrator and Editor. (it have all capabilities of editor including user creation/edit/listing etc. and not have edit-dashboard permission).
I have given all forum permissions also to this role.

But on logging-in with this user in admin, I am getting only ‘Topics’ and ‘Replies’ menus in admin sidebar. There is no ‘Forum’ menu available.
Topics and replies are working well for all creation/editing.
For forums I can list it by direct url pasting in address bar after login, ex. http://mysite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum . Also I am able to edit any forum and update.
But when I try to create a new forum by using http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum, it not working giving error on blank page “Invalid post type”.

Please let me know why there are no forum menus/submenus available in admin sidebar and not able to create new forums by direct url?

Tried giving permissions various ways in user-role-editor panel but not working. May be there some incompatibility of user-role-editor with bbpress roles.
Please someone help.

Hi,

I have similar problem.. recent;y discovered over 100 replies pending just after 2 weeks of using bbpress….

which needless to say, is a lot of pain to approve all of them one by one manually!! 🙁

as they are all legit, not spam

Is it possible to turn OFF pending mode??

thanks

Kris

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?

[muffinbomb]

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/

[muffinbomb]

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.

[ssmedia]

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

[mance]

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

[muffinbomb]

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!

[aprilholle]

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.

http://healingemphasisyogatherapy.com/forums/topic/i-need-a-little-help/

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.

http://healingemphasisyogatherapy.com/forums/

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.
