I installed bbPress 2.1.3 on my WordPress 3.4.2 installation and I am having the problem that user profiles do not work. Whenever I hover over the name profile I can see that the URL points to domain.com/forums/user/admin but when I click on it I am returned straight to my blog’s homepage, but with domain.com/forums/user/admin in my browser’s URL line.

Others had related problems too, as I found in this forum, but they were slightly different, and none of the fixes suggested in these other threads helped.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Thank you for any ideas or leads,
Guido

Hello
I’d like to translate bbPress into Arabic for both the front and back end.
Where can I started?
Please someone to guide me to the place of the language file so I can get stated and any other recommendations.
I do not mean that someone do the translation for me but I will do the whole thing myself then share it here for all.

@robotcake Try running the ‘Repair Forums’ tool https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

Hi, funny thing is I currently want to add sidebar for my bbpress forum plugin. It alway shows the wordpress sidebar!

Anyway, to remove sidebar use the fullwidth forum like this: http://www.ytecongcong.com/forums/
Just follow
1. Clone page.php of your WP themes and rename it to forum.php
2. use BP Tweaks WP plugins to choose forum instead of page as default
3. Open forum.php, remove the php code content php get_sidebar()

Hi! I have installed the bbpress forum plugin here: http://buyclassifiedscript.com/forums/ but the forum is aligned to the left and its full width. I managed to change the css to 1000px but its still to the left. Any suggestions how I can center it?

bbpress: 2.1.3 (TwentyTen package)
WP: 3.4.2

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

This is fixed in the soon-to-be-released version 2.2 of bbPress.

Actually I installed the 2.2 into a clean site without buddypress and it works if I put the files in the extra back to the bbpress plugin root folder, but with the same method if I install it on the buddypress enabled site it won’t work, the topic edit, merge, split and reply edit will not work at all, any idea?

If you running bbpress2, try the Wangguard plugin

Hi! My layout is like this:
[Category 1]
[Forum 1]
[Forum 2]

[Category 2]
[Forum 3]
.
.
As you know, bbPress’ default layout is to fetch the Category description, not the Forum descriptions. I’ve tweaked the bbp_list_forums function, so now I want to show the forum descriptions instead. But when I add the_content() to my loop-single-forum.php it fetches the category description.

I think I must add the_content() in my_bbp_list_forums, but don’t know where or how.

The code can be found here (Kudos to Lynq): http://pastebin.com/GLhCHYze

And what I’m after graphically: http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu216/DramaticBaby/forum_description.jpg

How can I make the_content() fetch the forum descriptions? Or is there a bbp_get_sub_forum_description() function somewhere? 🙂

@masada I’m about to release an “unread topics” plugin. Check this repository: https://github.com/zaerl/za-bbpress-unread-topics cause it will be populated soon with the files (hopefully this weekend). I’ve spent a lot of times on it cause I wanted to create the final solution for this “problem”.

[zaerl]

Put this code somewhere in your theme functions.php

https://gist.github.com/4086011

Otherwise you can change the roles editing the bbPress gettext file. Check ‘\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-languages\bbpress.pot’, create a .po for your language (if you already hasn’t one) and change the string “Key Master” at line 3311. If you don’t know what I’m talking about I can generate the file for you.

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress and set up a test forum.

When viewing the forum it show me a nice full-width page without sidebar, but when I click on a topic, bbpress redirects me to a full-width forum page with the sidebar under the forum (while it shouldn’t show up).

Has anyone an idea how I can fix this?

How it should be: http://www.gebetendoorhonden.be/forum/

sidebar showing (wrong): http://www.gebetendoorhonden.be/forums/forum/te-koop-aangeboden

btw: this also happens with standard wordpress-themes (twenty-ten). I select full-width page and when clicking on topics I get redirected to page with sidebar!?

Dear regards,
Bart

You can also use this plugin to assign the forum participant role to all users across a multisite network.

@masada there is already a fully functional “unread posts” plugin on wordpress.org, and a new one coming from a developer that I know (it approaches the problem a bit differently, so it is its own plugin instead of an extension of “Mark as Read”) should be out in a couple of days.

Packaging up bbPress 2.2 shortly.

Closing this topic.

[Stephen Edgar]

Hang of for a day or two, the ‘default’ theme in bbPress 2.2 uses lists and will be released very soon.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Instead of bbpress.php try bbpress-functions.php and see https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ for more info

[Stephen Edgar]

Start by finding a WordPress theme and then you can customize bbPress to look the same as your WordPress theme https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[John James Jacoby]

Some improvements to this bit of code were made in bbPress 2.2, which is due out any day now. Maybe give it a try and report back?

[dprundle]

Thank you! To fix this I changed the settings > forums “Theme Packages” setting back to default “twentyten” and the tinymce editor is back.

[John James Jacoby]

Fin whatever plugin is causing that to happen, and stop it from happening. 🙂

bbPress sets the post ID to 0. Did you create a post with an empty ID?

[John James Jacoby]

Either a JS issue, or a conflict with Jetpack 2.0. bbPress 2.2 will address this further.

[dprundle]

Hello! I just want to first thank everyone for this great plugin forum.

I have enabled “Enable Fancy Editor” in settings > forums , however my tinymce editor does not show. I simply see the generic HTML editor. Is there a known fix for this problem?

I’m using the default wordpress twenty eleven theme. Thanks!

[Olivier Lettinga]

I would like use the TwentyTen bbpress theme(or even rather a theme with lists instead of tables) and customize it for my own use.

The advised way to do this: ‘making a copy of the plugins\bbpress\bbp-themes\bbp-twentyten folder and copying it to themes\mytheme’ works.
This however makes a huge mess of my child theme folder, instead I would rather copy it to ‘themes\mytheme\subfolder’. Is this possible and how to I accomplish this?

Using WordPress: 3.4.2 and buddyPress: 1.6.1 and bbPress: 2.1.3.
