Hey. Not sure if I’m missing something, but I’ve been looking around the forums following advice on using a custom bbPress CSS file, but it isn’t working.

I’m creating a theme based on underscores.me 1000 headstart theme.

I’ve copied the CSS file from ‘plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css’ to ‘themes/underscores/bbpress.css’. I’ve read previously that that bbPress will then detect the custom CSS file and use it. Doesn’t appear to be the case.

Have I missed something?

Thanks plauclair

Actually this sounds more like the bbPress plugin isn’t activate. Double check that first.

Hi!

I’m not sure if this is the right forum, but…
I’m trying to create separate page for creating new topic (user presses some “New topic” button, it redirects him to the page).

I know I have to create new page in WP. I also know I have to use [bbp-topic-form] shortcode for that page. My problem is that I don’t know how to correctly setup the address for that page. I would like it to be in the form: “www.mydomain.net/forums/new-topic”. But I can’t select bbPress’s pages as the parent for my new page, so it looks like “www.mydomain.net/new-topic” in my case.

Any ideas how to make this work?

Yes! Thanks @silviorelli! Tried everything to get Private forums to show, was about to revert to 2.1 but ran the repair on ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ and now it seems to work! Phew…

Full details are explained in the link (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/roles-and-capabilities-in-bbpress-2-2/)

Take a look here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/roles-and-capabilities-in-bbpress-2-2/

I fixed my disappeared forum using the forums role repair tool, located in: Admin > Tools > Forums

Hi everybody,

I work on a WP site which has BBPress integrated. I did not created the site, I just got the job passed to me. I was doing good, until I created a page with the BBPress:Create New Topic template. The page comes blank, and in the source, I get the PHP error:

Call to undefined function bbp_get_template_part() in /home/affinity/public_html/aaplonline.com/new/wp-content/themes/parallelus-salutation/page-create-topic.php on line 27

I realize it is because BBPress is NOT correctly integrated in the theme. BBP functions are not alive I guess.

Theme is already customized.

is there any way to fix it at this stage?

[Jared Atchison]

It shouldn’t be, no.

Few things I recommend when upgrading is pre-upgrade temporarily switch to TwentyTen and the default bbPress theme (if you are using a custom one), then do the upgrade. If everything works, then switch back to your normal theme/bbPress theme. Then if it starts giving errors at least you know where to look.

Another thing that can be helpful is to temporarily turn on WP_DEBUG which can sometimes reveal problems with your theme or plugins you have installed that are preventing bbPress from running correctly.

I’ve been running bbPress on sites since 2.0 and haven’t had any problems upgrading, but I wrote the themes from scratch and am real particular on what plugins get installed.

[Jared Atchison]

Do a search in the plugin repository for it, there was a plugin that added that for bbPress 2.x at one point, however I haven’t personally used it so I can’t say how well it works or if it still runs with 2.2.x.

Edit: nevermind, just go to the part that you tried the plugin. It’s definitely something we would like in core. Ideally someone would write an awesome plugin that does it (correctly) and then it would be eventually folded into core.

[Jared Atchison]

Not easily, no.

That shortcode calls the content-single-forum.php template file. So you’re options are to copy that file to your theme and edit it (but this will be reflected globally, not just in the shortcode). Or create your own shortcode based off the bbPress one and have it use a custom template file.

[Jared Atchison]

You can also try increasing the memory limit within WordPress via your wp-config. I’d give that I try first, bump it to something like 128mb and see if that helps.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

[Jared Atchison]

Just be aware that activating shortcodes in bbPress can open up a whole can of worms, which is why its disabled by default.

If they are enabled there is nothing stopping someone from using bbPress shortcodes in a reply/topic, eg [bbp_login].

Polls in 2.x is definitely something that is needed. However it’s really plugin territory, and so far no one has written one!

[Stephen Edgar]

You would be best of contacting the theme authors if you are only having problems when using the ‘antistar theme’, they might be able to install bbPress themselves and determine what is causing the conflict and get it patched for you.

[Stephen Edgar]

Haha… I started reading this and was about ready to hit ‘spam’… Oh wait… NOT SPAM 🙂

Thanks for this and it is a known issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1905

It also has a patch that needs testing if you would like to give it some testing 🙂

If you could add any feedback you have to the ticket above it would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[Sam Rohn]

this one is working for me

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cardoza-wordpress-poll/

you may also need to install something like GD BBPress Tools to activate shortcodes in forum topics and replies if you want to embed a poll in a forum post

This is not a plugin issue. Check with your hosting company to see how much PHP memory is allocated for you. There is no definite value to be set at but if possible try for 64 to 128MB.

[DonnZhou]

Hey guys,
I was installing bbpress but then I get an error saying that bbpress tried to allocate more memory but failed.
Any help?

Thanks.

Ever heard of Sorcerer’s Apprentice? It is a poem by Goethe, set to music by Paul Dukas, and visualized by Walt Disney in the Movie ‘Fantasia’. (See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XChxLGnIwCU)
In the movie, Mickey Mouse, the apprentice, dons the Sorcerer’s cap to animate a broom so that it will do Mickey’s chores for him. The broom soon gets out of control, and Mickey is forced to hack up the broom with an axe. But then each of the splinters of the broom become a broom, and Mickey’s troubles intensify.

What does this have to do with bbPress? An interesting bug. The subscribe (and Favorites) toggle don’t work properly in Topics. Click once, good, state and text go to ‘unsubscribe’. Click again, good, state and text go back to ‘subscribe’. Click again, and nothing *appears* to happen. I’m new to bbPress, but I thought I’d take a shot at troubleshooting. The implementation uses javascript, jquery, ajax, and a wordpress jquery plugin called wpList. In the bbpress file topic.js, the function subsLinkSetup() is passed as an event handler for a click on the ‘Subscribe’/’Unsubscribe’ link. But every time this event handler is called, it ‘delegates’ a new instance of itself, and each new instance delegates a new instance, and so on…
For each click, the number of event handlers grows as follows:
Click # of Event Handlers
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
6 32
n 2^(n-1)
So after the second click, there are two event handlers.
On the 3rd click, the two event handlers each delegate a new event handler(now there are 4), each toggle the subscription state, (essentially canceling each other out) and the state appears unchanged. Since the number of event handlers is always even, their collective execution will always return the subscription state to the same state as that before they were executed.

Example: 3rd click, 4 event handlers, state: subscribed, Event handlers result in the following state chain: unsubscribed->subscribed->unsubscribed->subscribed, and were are right back where we started from.
This is a dangerous bug, because when nothing happens, users tend to click again and again, and 10 clicks (for example) = 2^9=512 event handlers.

A fix that works, but might not be the correct one, because it breaks the encapsulation of wpList (we must peer inside wpList to know that the event handler is bound to the subscription link via .delegate()) is to do the following:
In topic.js, function ubsLinkSetup(), replace the line
subscriptionToggle.get(0).wpList.process( subscriptionToggle );
with
subscriptionToggle.get(0).wpList.process( subscriptionToggle.undelegate() );
This removes the event handler before adding it back.
Parallel fix for favorites.

Hoping to see some fix in the next release

Hi there !

I installed the plugin bbPress, everything goes well, but I have the following problem:

1. TinyMCE is not available in Visual and in HTML no buttons are available.

2. In the headlines I often had multiple words, such as “Private: Private: Forum headline”(like this http://www.timewalks.de/projekte/probe/probe_02/forum2.jpg)

3. When I “Create New Topic” or answers a post I get an error message appears:

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘sc_save_post’ not found or invalid function name in /home/www/web468/html/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 403

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/web468/html/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php:403) in /home/www/web468/html/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

When I go back and update the page, the text is available

I assume this has something to do with my theme, because in the theme “eleventwelv” there have been no problems. Can someone help me to get the theme compatible? Thank you!

The free theme is from antistar: http://www.screets.com/gp/projects/antistar_theme.html

‘Hierarchical replies’ or ‘Threaded Replies’ depending on what you want to call them are indeed coming to a future version of bbPress. ‘Quoting’ is also on the ‘todo’ list.

[apet083]

Hi I have the same problem! I used bbConverter! Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks

[wpmhweb]

No I don’t. Never had to for other plugins and the very first time I installed bbPress didn’t have to either.
So is it a requirement do deactivate all plugins?

Thanks,

[kannued]

Do you deactivate ALL your plugins before updating?

[ninjaface]

Is that a plugin that is a viable solution to quote replies, or reply to other people who have replied? I am using bbpress 2.1.2, have tried the bbpress quotes but it has not been updated to work properly with this version.

I would think this is a must have for most people using forums, how are you guys implementing this feature with bbpress?
