Hi, I am in the process of installing the latest version of bbpress as a plugin to create a forum and would like to add a user register/signup box or link from every page. I’ve been searching but cannot find the answer. Can anyone help?

[Kslad]

Thanks for your reply.

This would work, but unfortunately it is my theme’s sidebar that is displaying, not BBPress’ side bar.

Any other suggestions?

[Lynq]

This is more than likely your theme not being setup to display your topics correctly. A link does help as Lab mentioned. Do you have a bbpress theme installed?

[Lynq]

You could use CSS?

In the body tag there is a bbpress class, soy you could do something like:

.bbPress .sidebar { display: none; }

good luck!

Hi guys,

I have done my research and I have been able to remove the side bar from (what I think is) the top level of the forums by editing the archive-forum.php file.

When I select a forum (I currently only have one) and a topic in the forum (again, I only have one) I still see my theme’s sidebar. I decided to modify the archive-topic.php file and comment out the get_sidebar(); line (as I did above), but unlike above, this did not work.

I commented out the get_sidebar(); line for every file in the plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras folder. This did not work for me.

My question is: how do I remove my theme’s sidebar from the list of forums, topics and inside the topics too?

Hey all,

I will be adding a Forum to an existing WordPress site, and I am familiar with both PHPBB and vBulletin, and I would like to use the “Category” features — where Forums are listed under an appropriate category.

I would like to use bbPress for the common look and feel, and single sign on four our users.

Can I set up Categories?

Okay, so this gave me no peace…

I’ve been trying to bring the iMember360 forum back online after I converted it from the old standalone bbPress version.

This throttling was the last issue (that I know of) standing in the way.

In iMember360, I added a filter to quash the throttling issue until bbPress fixes the issue.

Update to iM360 v3.4.016 and you should be throttle-free…

Best,
Bob

My forum index page is just a bunch of bullet points listing each text for the topics.  How do I get the forum index to be listed in boxes like on the bbpress example.

Also, I suspect this could be from my theme formatting the bbpress forums this way – what file would I look in to change this and how?

Please help!

I have found a solution using http://justboil.me/
I am almost finished, posting images online works already with bbpress.
If you want I will show you how.

Hello! I’m not very good at HTML, scripting and the like, and I was wondering if there was a plugin for the following.

On some websites, when you move your cursor over a button (much like the WordPress pages links) a menu drops down with other links. When you are logged in on bbPress, the same happens when you move your cursor over your Username. I would like the same, just with pages, rather than a username.

I’m having this exact same problem. Unfortunately my WordPress page does not win when I set them to the same slug. Because of this, I want to use different slugs for my WordPress page that contains the shortcode and my Forums Base. This works just fine, the only problem is in the breadcrumb the “Forums” link takes the user to the forum index instead of the WordPress page with the shortcode.

Hi

I have successfully installed bbpress on my existing site where I run WP 3.4.2, BP 2.2.2 and bbPress in it’s newest version.

The homepage is a custom programmed php-application, let’s say it runs under http://www.abc.com

The WP-blog runs under http://www.abc.com/community

The BP-part runs under http://www.abc.com/community/activity

and at the moment, the bbPress-forums run under http://www.abc.com/community/discuss/forum/

and a subforum runs under http://www.abc.com/community/discuss/forum/mysubforumtitle/

However, I’d like to remap this to http://www.abc.com/forum for the forum main page and http://www.abc.com/forum/mysubforumtitle/ for the subforum.

I was able to remap the main-forum-page by adding

RewriteRule ^forum/(.*) http://www.abc.com/community/discuss/$1 [NC,L,P]

to my .htaccess but of course, the links to sub-forums still point to http://www.abc.com/community/discuss/forum/mysubforumtitle/

Is there a way I can completely run the forums directly under http://www.abc.com/forum/* ?

I’d be really glad for any help or hints.

Thanks
Raphael

hi,

i’ve just installed bbpress 2.2 (released 19th november 2012) on a clean install (no other plugins have been activated) of wordpress 3.4.2. However, whenever a reply is added to a topic the browser is redirected to a 404 not found page. When i navigate back to that topic the reply has been added however. I’m using the default template without any modifications. Anyone know whats going on and how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

[mostafaqanbari]

when i click on “replies created” or “replies to” button in my bbpress forum i cant get any replies created by a user! how can i do this? actually i installed bbpress beside buddypress inside WordPress! everything seems fine but i cant get this. Topics created by user work just fine but replies don’t!
i found out “user-topics-created.php” controls topics created inside bbpress but we dont have such file for Replies! like “user-replies-created.php”!! Any help will be appreciate.

I did little search on net and now issue is resolved by following this. http://www.blackbam.at/blackbams-blog/2011/06/09/wordpress-custom-external-authentication-loginlogout-php-script/

[sbroways]

If anyone has any ideas I’m working on this issue on Stack Overflow as well. I think I’ve done a better job explaining it there and getting some good code put together from contributors but haven’t reached the finish line.

MySQL query help moving data between tables

[sureshtmp-456]

Hi

I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation and I don’t use standard WordPress
Authentication. I have my own login page(mylogin.php) where I capture the
userid/password and then compare with values in my own user table.

Now I am using BBPress plugin(2.2.2). I have created a page(askanexpert) in
wordpress and inside that page I have put the BBPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index].
Now from frontend when the user does login and go to forum(http://www.domainname.com/askanaexpert),
bbpress forum is visible and all the topics are visible, but forum shows the message that

“You must be logged in to create new topics.”

I think it happens because BBPress is perhaps looking for some authenticated cookie which
was not created due to my custom authentication.

Is there a way to create the cookie from my custom authentication page, which
bbpress will understand ?

I can not get rid of my custom authentication. Is there a way to fix it, so that when user is
logged in to wordpress site he/she can use the forum as regular logged in user without login again?

I am fine to do some programming, but not sure which way to go.

[Xarcell]

I’m new to WordPress, and I have installed buddypress, which I understand installs bbpress.

Is there a way to promote promote a topic to a blog post, and vice versa?

Thanks.

Edit: I changed the topic title and moved it to the plugins forum. Cheers, Netweb

Hi Guys,

we’re happy to say that an UPDATED video has just been released that covers all aspects of bbPress 2.2.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1, including:

http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/

– Installation of bbPress as the BuddyPress Group Forums
– Turning off BuddyPress Forums
– BuddyPress settings in Settings/Forums
– Pitfalls to avoid during installation and setup
– Roles and Capabilities (both for WP and bbPress)
– Use of the Membership Plugin (Justin Tadlock) and bbPress Tools for legacy members
– Child Themes and bbPress
– Two ways to setup a bbPress forum index page and make it a landing page of your site
….and much, much more.

This is a WHOPPER … clocking in at 29:00, but I GUARANTEE it will help solve many of the questions and issues that folks have been having with the new combination of bbPress & BuddyPress.

If anyone has any questions, please post them here, or you are welcome to post them to our forum at LabZip.com if they are not directly related to bbPress alone.

Cheers!

I’m looking for the correct method to dequeue bbpress css from the plugin directory and also that of the css folder within the theme.

The entire site is much larger than just the forum and I really don’t want to call the css for every page as most people don’t have a need to access the forums. I’ll then enqueue the css with is_bbpress combined with is_page(array for the 2 pages that contain shortcodes.

I need to make sure that it dequeues from both locations as there is a custom css being used.

Thanks in advance for the help!

[sbroways]

I was able to complete step 1 with the following sql query:

INSERT INTO wp_users (user_login)
SELECT DISTINCT post_username FROM phpbb_posts


Now I have transferred over the user names and need to work on step 2 which I think can actually be combined with step 3 as one function… but would still love to hear any ideas.

Thanks to @johnjamesjacoby & Co for their hard work on this great forum software.

Just added bbPress to appglobe.com ( http://appglobe.com/forums ) an hour ago and it looks very promising.

Also, since bbpress 2 doesn’t use tables as much as previous versions it can easily be made responsive.

Didn’t even have to change much of the default colors since they were very similar to the site style.

Great work, great software…greatings from Sweden

Thanks for confirming the bug Spence – I’ll post a bug report with bbPress.

And I look forward to your updated video…

The shortcode would allow forum owners to display the category and it’s forums with their descriptions, number of topics, posts etc. on a page.

If we had this shortcode, we could set up bbPress forums to look like phpbb3 – with all categories and their forums on one page – which is what I’ve seen a lot of people asking for.
