bump -> this doesn’t even work anymore as bbpress is no longer a standalone….
How was this passed? just through the bbpress css or?
I’m running into an odd problem, I need to apply some custom changes to the base forums page/index, which would be easy except for this issue: If I try to get the url, title, or any value of the index page, it uses all the values from the last Category in that forum. To further clarify, if my 4 main categories of my forum index are:
– Forums –
Basketball
Football
Volleyball
Tennis
And on this index page wherever I use echo the_title();, it will show “Tennis” instead of “Forums”. It does this for ANY wp variable/function etc. The Forum Index simply uses the values of the last category. If I change the order of the categories, or add a new forum, the forum index values will change to the last descending forum. This is making it impossible for me to print specific information out on the forums index page.
Anyone have any idea what the issue is that’s causing it? I’ve played around with permalinks, pages, posts etc… it always does the same thing.
The closest thing I could find is:
echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);
However, that only grabs the parent from one step back in the bread crumb. I need to get the “main” or “base” parent of all pages/threads under the parent. Say the forum structure is like this:
Forum > Tennis > Tutorials > Thread Name 1
The set “parent” in that is “Tennis” (bolded above). Is there a way I can print that main parent for all bbPress pages?
All I want is a way to print the name of the parent category for any given bbPress page from the header.php file of my theme.
I need something as simple as:
echo forum_name($forum->forum_parent);
Although that doesn’t work for me. Anyone know how to get the parent name? Thanks!
Hello.
Before I install bbpress I want to check out some common things:
1. Is there any reputation or award system? I found only solution for buddypress not for bbress – http://bbpress.org/plugins/?ps=award
2. Can registered bbress users comment usual WP posts?
3. Is it possible to check any statistic of each user post number last day\week\month
4. Is it possible to make custom post types? For example to collect specific statistic or to use different page templates for each of them?
5. Is it possible to manage URLs? For example I don’t want to have *forums* or *post* in URL etc.
Thank you.
updated list as of 2.2:
$defaults = array(
// HTML
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”bbp-breadcrumb”><p>’,
‘after’ => ‘</p></div>’,
// Separator
‘sep’ => __( ‘›’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘pad_sep’ => 1,
‘sep_before’ => ‘<span class=”bbp-breadcrumb-sep”>’,
‘sep_after’ => ‘</span>’,
// Crumbs
‘crumb_before’ => ”,
‘crumb_after’ => ”,
// Home
‘include_home’ => $pre_include_home,
‘home_text’ => $pre_front_text,
// Forum root
‘include_root’ => $pre_include_root,
‘root_text’ => $pre_root_text,
// Current
‘include_current’ => $pre_include_current,
‘current_text’ => $pre_current_text,
‘current_before’ => ‘<span class=”bbp-breadcrumb-current”>’,
‘current_after’ => ‘</span>’,
);
pulled from bbpress/includes/common/template-tags.php
setup your args and pass them to the bbp_breadcrumb function
Is it possible to have an email notification go out to all existing forum members for each new topic, once that topic is approved by forum moderator?
The migration guide changed drastically from December 4th to December 8th.
If you used the guide before the 8th and you’ve backed up your database, revert back to what you had previously and try the guide again.
The meta_value (70) for group id (7) should be the ID for the wp_posts row for that forum.
Because the rest of my site doesn’t need anybody logging into it. Really, the forums are a completely separate entity from my blog (different topic entirely, very tangential). So it would make perfect sense to make it a separate WP install. I suppose it would just be convenient to manage the plugin administration together with my blog. I’m not sure if that makes a lot of sense to anybody but me. 🙂
I’ll probably just end up installing a new copy of WP. After all, I had bbPress as a separate install in the first place. I was just wondering if I could manage bbPress users separately from the WP site it’s installed under.
These rows are also present and filled in.. I don’t know how to check if the forum ID corresponds with the right forum though.

Check wp_bp_groups_groupmeta for rows where meta_key = ‘forum_id’, and wp_postmeta for rows where meta_key = ‘_bbp_group_ids’.
How to fix this i install bbpress and buddypress and in every page of users http://www.ucionica.me/sceko/xaxa/ open bbpress user profile
I do not really understand the problem.
However I believe it is an error in the database table wp_options
I was overcome as follows:
1: Exporting all of the tables in the database exclusion wp_options
2: new wordpress installation complete
3: remove all of the tables in the new database, but to wp_options
4: Import database just saved aboveeverything
Do it slowly and carefully, step by step. Did not have any errors
You may have to re-install option, re-activate the plugins and themes …
Any help is better than the best
Sorry: my english is bad ;( , try to understand 🙂
ok. bbPress has to be network activated for this to work in buddypress themes.
Or bbPress and BuddyPress have both to be NOT network activated.In my case I want BuddyPress to be network activated, to stream activities from all sites. But I want only the mainsite to have a forum.
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately changing the permalink-settings didn’t help. I’ve narrowed it down a little bit further; I use a wrapper for the entire forums with a file bbpress.php in my theme. Where a simple the_content statement first rendered the forums, they now fail to do so. If I replace the_content in bbpress.php with the code that’s present in plugins/bbpress/templates/bbp-twentyten/archive-forum.php, the frontpage shows up. But all links lead to 404 not found pages. Am I missing something here?
Hi Jennifer,
All forums are checked with “1” (at least the ones that need a forum). Here’s a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gn2surksk7yrgw3/Screen%20Shot%202012-12-14%20at%202.58.00%20PM.png
Maybe the group_id_metadata thing went wrong? is there any way to check that?
Group forum creation behavior confirmed on /trunk, and it may be related to why your imported forums are not showing up on their respective group pages. bbPress created the forum and assigned it the group_id metadata but did not check off the “enable_forum” column in the wp_bp_groups table on my test group setup. When I went back and checked “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” in Group > Admin > Forum, it showed up and “enable_forum” flipped to true.
If you have access to phpMyAdmin, can you check your wp_bp_groups table and see if the “enable_forum” column is full of 0s or 1s? If you can’t, that’s okay, too. Don’t break stuff. 🙂
I’m not good at coding, css and all that. How can i customize bbpress on my site without changing main theme?
I also have the same problem on page 404
When logging with bbPress highest account works very well
When not logged into the system everything works very well also
However, when logging in with your member account, 404 occurred with every link of bbPress
This is my website: http://moiluc.com/ wp: v3.5
This is my forum: http://moiluc.com/hangouts bbppress: v: 2.2.3
I use buddypress but only use the x-profile feature: buddypres v1.6.2
You can test error with acc: ngoctrinh pass: s1234567
Any help is really great!
I just tested this and I can confirm that creating a Private and Public group and attaching a forum to that group works! But there is one issue.. When you go through the Group Creation wizard and check ” Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” and finish creating the group, the forum is NOT added. So you have to go into the Group Admin > Forums and enable the “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” checkbox again. Then it does work. Example: http://www.youthpolicy.org/community/groups/testing-forums-bbpress-2/forum/topic/testin-topic/#post-2667
Thanks for the help so far 🙂
Thanks for the pointer, I’m going to check it out now.
For testing purposes:
What happens if you create a new Private group with a forum? Does that forum have a parent of “Group Forums” and show up in the group forums list? Does the group display a Forums tab on its group page? Is the forum accessible from the group’s Forums tab?
What happens if you create a new Public group with a forum? See above questions.
Hey guys,
I am doing a project needs a forum, so I’m using bbPress 2.0. Since it’s for my company which is multinational and we have more than 1 language spoken, I modified the Recent Replies and Recent Topics widgets to show the parent forum so that people can determine if they can actually understand what is in there. You can add the Show Parent Forum through te widget option and I sticked to the original code format when doing the mod.
I didn’t create a plugin for this, if someone wants to, they can go ahead and do just that. Maybe add others options that they want. Code is below:
http://pastebin.ca/2293446
put it in a .php file, and in functions.php add something like
include TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/widgets/widget-bbpress.php';
of course, replace /lib/widgets/widget-press.php with your location to the file.
