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.

[Stephen Edgar]

Ha 🙂 https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

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;}`

[Stephen Edgar]

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.

[Unsal Korkmaz]

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.

[Robert Mathews]

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?

I really would love this, can the developer please add support for bbPress?

[Diver Zant]

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?

[rklockner]

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?

Same issue with me, (bbpress 2.2.4 and wp 3.5.1), changing “clear: none;” to “clear: both;” (bbpress.css line 810), making the ul list including table visible. Dont know if it will break some other thing but currently fine.
I suspect that ‘clear:none’ is the right thing built in bbpress, it need to be fixed with some other proper css style.

[Shashank Shekhar]

I am getting the same issue in bbpress 2.2.4 with wordpress 3.5.1. In my site Profile pages have body class “error404” included automatically. Other bbpress pages are fine. “error 404” is defined with styles in theme which disturbing layout of the page. What I have done is just put bbpress/single-user.php inside my theme for custom editing (still not edited, just putting inside the theme created the issue).
My theme is built using wordpress twenty-twelve theme very little customized.

This issue is also mentioned here in bbpress trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1478 , closed, but dont know why I getting this problem.

Is this really fixed with bbpress? Please let me know what I can do to fix the problem?

[Shashank Shekhar]

Hello,
As per bbpress doc I found by default it uses page.php in wordpress theme to render all its contents. But since I have to use different template with a different sidebar and widgets I created forum.php copied from page.php in my wp-theme and luckily it worked. Dont know why its not mentioned in bbpress docs. Also, forums.php working fine, so I am in more doubt which file naming conventions is correct. Is it something missed to mention in bbpress docs? Please let me know.

Further, for the bbpress user pages, like profile, edit profile, topic started etc. I need to use a custom template file in my theme. In bbpress templates as per documentation, I have checked all user templates inside are just contains the content part only not including header, footer, sidebar etc. And by default it also renders by page.php.

How can I make a custom user template file other than page.php or forum.php which control all user related contents, so that I can have different template for forum or other pages?

Suggestion:
BBpress should have capability to use different template files for different kind of pages, or their should be settings in bbpress admin to select which template to use for what kind of pages.
This is somewhat, wp-members, woocommerce and other plugins do for better integration in wordpress. These plugins have the ability to create different pages in admin editor having selected particular template to render and putting inside their shortcodes to render various types of contents. And also have the settings in their admin to set different pages/template for different stuff.

Please let me know if this possible with bbpress 2.2.4 with wp 3.5.1 currently.
If not possible please let me know how I can achieve the effect, with some sample custom code hints. Currently I dont need help to create bbpress admin side settings dropdown etc., becoz these are the thing I mentioned as suggestions to make bbpress better theme compatible.
Right now, just need help how to use different template for user pages than other forum pages.

Hi all,

 

same problem here: I used simple:press in the past, but due to their *$@µ policy where you need to pay (yeeeh, pay!) 39$ to get a simple extra plugin for uploading images, I switched over to bbPress.

But I can’t find the option to allow users to upload images! Please help us with this!

reg,

Val

[Stephen Edgar]

Standard bbPress & WordPress do NOT support ‘signatures’ in the user profiles.

What are you using for bbPress signatures?

[rtrelfa]

I am a “noob” too. So, will bbPress work with ANY theme, or should I buy a theme designed for it? I know very little about editing code but I can hire someone to help me.

I wanted to use the Sophis theme from Theme Forest but the author says he has zero experience with bbPress and he doesn’t think it will work. It is any older theme.

Any advice?

Thank you,

RT

I have a fresh multisite/buddypress/bbpress.   I installed sitewide forums and made sure group functionality was turned on for forums.  This is on a sub site with buddypress multisite turned on.  I had previously had the same issues I have now on a already installed site.  Because of these issue I scrubbed the install, wiped the database and reinstalled fresh.  I still have this issue.  when I create a topic from buddypress group forum page it goes to a blank page with this error

“<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in <b>/home/spanef/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php</b> on line <b>178</b><br />”

 

I have seen previous solutions about deleting the forum ids in bp_group_meta which i did and upon recreation still didn’t work.

I have the newest wordpress, buddypress and bbpress .  This is a fresh install.   Do you have any idea what i can do, I have to have this working.

Hi, I’m somewhat of a WP newbie. I’ve been able to get my WP site up and recently added bbPress. I created a Forums page at : http://flomio.com/forums/forum/ask-the-flomies/

For some reason I don’t see any of the “Create New Topic” widgets or WYSIWYG editor rendered in the page. I am able to create Forums and Topics from the WP Admin page but these don’t seem to be rendering in the forums page either. All I find is a right-side panel that shows my “active forums” and my login profile.

I’m using the Propulsion theme from woothemes and Googling around suggests that it should play nicely with bbPress. Any ideas, help, input is much appreciated.

thanks,
