Hi all,

I’m starting using bbpress on a wordpress network (using also buddypress)
Everything seem fine, but there is no avatar in any off the bbpress pages :'(

I also tried using a different template.. same thing…

[aborruso]

Dear all,
I would like to use the Fancy editor, but when I check and save Fancy editor, the options page reloads and I have always Fancy editor option unchecked.

Is it normal?

Thank you

Ok so here is my story:
I currently have:
Wordpress 3.5
Bbpress 2.2.3
Buddypress 1.6.3
History:
Back in December everything was working great (all my bbpress forum “posts” were showing up in Google searches). I had a couple of issues with my host, and decided to deactivate the bbpress plugin for a couple of weeks.
Several weeks ago I reactivated the forum and integrated it with buddypress (merged the two forums). I had absolutely no problem doing it.
I also used google webmaster tools to point to a new sitemap created by a plugin (WordPress SEO) 3 weeks ago.
Problem:
So here is my problem. When I do an advance search on google, I only get my sites topic pages, topic tag pages, and forum pages… not the forum posts!
What can be the issue?

Here is my site: http://otakuspace.com/forums/

As far as I know, there is no way to disable plugins on a page-by-page basis.

May I ask why you’re running two plugins that basically have identical functionality?

Hi,

We have another forum plugin called “simple press”. And these two forum plugin both work fine except that when we try to search in our “simple press” it gives us a 404 error. Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there a way to disable the bbpress plugin on a specific page? I already tried “plugin organizer” but not working.

note: When I disable bbpress, search function for “simple press” is working fine.
Wordpress version: 3.5

Thanks!

hi i have install bbpress and twenty ten bbpress theme but the tinymce is bigger wider and exits the template width any ideas how to fix this.
you can take a look here anime.gr

I already solved my problems. You can view the new forum here http://grow-together.de/forum/.

@reverendgeneral What kind of line do you need? Maybe you add an tag manually. For better styling options I divided the “loop-forums.php” in two parts.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is what I am using as a custom plugin on a site:

if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => 'false', 'meta_key' => '_bbp_last_active_time', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )
		bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );

Where post_parent = ‘any’ forum or change this to a specific forum id

It is based on this https://gist.github.com/4207064

[Erlend]

Here’s a real world scenario:

When we went from BuddyPress forums to bbPress, we were left with some niche “Project” forums. As opposed to our most frequented forums like “Troubleshooting” and “Development”, these forums were the only ones that actually merited group-integration back when that was the only way to create a forum.

After migrating, it would make sense to couple these forums together with their respective groups again. However, we don’t want to do that if it means changing the URLs, which would not only disturb the user experience as explained above, but also cause some trouble with our redirects.

I am still having issues trying to allow my regular subscribers to have access to the forums. They can see the members section and the other parts but anything associated with the forums doesn’t work. I do not want to give them admin privileges. I have tried the repair suggested by Amy Joy. I don’t know what else to do as this is a MAJOR part of my site. Any suggestions?

Hi,

For the life of me, I cannot find out how to style this plugin…can someone help?

Thanks,

Hi all,

Might be related to the recent capabilities/roles update for bbPress, but right now this is what’s happening for me:

– Participants create a topic in a forum
– They get forwarded to a 404 page
– In the Dashboard, however, the topic they created is actually there, but automatically set to “pending” status instead of being published
– My admins have to manually publish each topic that Participants create (topics created by Moderators get published immediately)

I’ve set up a small band-aid solution where the users are shown a message that says “Your topic is awaiting moderation” instead of a 404 page, but I wonder how I could make it possible to get these topics published upon creation (remove approval process).

Thanks for any insight!

@wdfee Wow – I am SOO glad I stumbled across this y’day – as I was having the EXACT same issue related to the inability to post/create new (forum) topics within buddypress groups after I migrated all the group forums to bbpress 2.2.3.

My config is WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.6.3, using bp-default theme &/or Genesis Agency w/ Genesis Connect.

It was driving me bonkers trying to comprehend what could be wrong. Regardless, I de-activated bbpress on the root site (site 1), & re-activated bbpress ‘sitewide’ and now I can post new topics w/ buddypress group forums. Like you, I could always create new topics for group forums via the back-end & from the front-end via the sitewide forums, but the front-end was a no-go (w/in the actual group-forum) until I activated bbpress sitewide. As a test, I created a multisite ‘from scratch’ installation (WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.6.3, using bp-default theme) & activated both buddypress & bbpress from site 1 (root) and everything works 100% as expected from the start. I still don’t 100% understand the nature of this sol’n, but I’ll take it for now!

Anyways, THANKS for posting this, as this forum thread was the tipping point to get a major [buddypress x bbpress] open-innovation project launched ‘only x1 month late’ √

I tried to import Phpbb forum to bbpress, with the import tool :

http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

I disable Forums and start the process, and i have this :

“Repair any missing information: Continue

My informations :

– Port : 3306

– Name BDD : The name in my wp-config (i use the same base for forum and a wordpress installation)

– Name user BDD : The user in my wp-config

– Pass : The Pass in my wp-config

– Prefix : PhpBB3

and Start.

I show all the informations many times and they are all right… I don’t understand where is the problem.

Thanks for your responses

Hi guys I am trying to list the 3 freshest bbpress topics from a specific forum. How Can I do that?

This is my code for displaying latest 3 topics from bbpress (not specific forum):

get_results("SELECT post_title, guid, post_date, post_type, post_modified, post_type from wp_posts where post_type LIKE 'topic' && post_type LIKE 'topic' ORDER by post_date DESC limit 3","ARRAY_N");
			   if ($forumslist)
			   {
				   foreach ($forumslist as $row)
				   {
					   echo '<li><a href="'.$row[1].'" rel="nofollow">'.$row[0].'</a>'.date('F d, Y', strtotime($row[2])).'</li>';
				   }
			   }
			   else
				   echo 'Error fetching data';
?>

Now I would like to get the most fresh topics under a certain parent. So I know I can do something like:

$forumslist1 = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_title, guid, post_date, post_modified, post_type, post_parent from wp_posts where post_type LIKE 'topic' && post_parent LIKE '1263' ORDER by post_modified DESC limit 3","ARRAY_N");

but how can I order those by freshness? You can see I tried to order them by post_modified but I didnt have luck there…

So I need to know how to get the freshest topics…

Thanks,
Mario

When I try to disable BBpress, all my site crash and give this error :

wp-admin/plugins.php?deactivate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=

Same error when I try to delete the plugin directly via FTP or disable via phpmyadmin.

Note : when I delete all the bbpress table -> no crash … ( but, of course, the forum is out of office …)

^ Someone capable should do a videoguide or such. I found out that editing CSS of original theme is much easier than installing a new theme.

[captjones]

There does not seem to be a step by step manual.

`To customize bbPress:
The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.

“bbpress” contains template files; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “bbpress” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“extras” contains optional page templates and things to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the same ‘bbpress’ folder. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“css” contains style sheets; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/css/
Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in your theme.`

^ I did all this and the forum stopped working at all. No other option?
Thanks.

I’m having a style problem with this as well. The forumhome only is taking 1/3 of the space counting sidebar, 1/2 the space it should. I tried editing the css but no luck. Any idea what class or id I should be editing?

All other pages are the proper width, just now the forum home. Thoughts? thanks!

I prefer the way WPORG deals with per-project forums over the BuddyPress-bbPress way. As in, when I click on a thread from within a group forum, I want that link to be a default forum link, not a custom group forum link. I realize this can potentially cause some confusion for users when they’re taken away from the group. Thing is that I’m running a forum-centric community, not a group-centric one, so for us it’s problematic the other way around:

User discovers new thread via forum index, clicks thread, suddenly the user is in a group! And that’s what we’d like to avoid.

Using wordpress 3.5
I totally uninstalled bbpress,
dropped all bbpress tables from db

but this link:

http://mysite.com/wp-admin/users.php?role=bbp_keymaster
besides premium subbscribers and others.

still there in user dashboard windows.

I’d like to get rid of it, how?

[nely]

Tried the way to exclude “wrong” plugin – no effect, still have the problem i mentioned here

[J. Christopher Guritz]

tried to post a link – noticed you are having same trouble as I.

I just created a topic “You have topics but do not see replies”
