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.

[Olivier Lettinga]

I suppose this should be done by translation

Where should I place the language files?

[sourpatch]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me please if you can modify bbpress.php file and incorporate it into a child theme in the wordpress themes folder.
I tried making a bbpress.php in my child theme folder and the result was a blank screen. It did not work.
Your advice is appreciated!

I’m using the twenty ten wordpress theme and installed the bbpress plugin

[HululusLabs]

I installed wordpress and the bbpress plugin from built-in plugin installer and made a forum which I previewed , which was fine during preview, but after I published it, the forum returns HTTP error 404 on the forum itself and when viewing the preview. This is my second installation with the same problem. A forum on my previous install showed up after a while, but the others didn’t. After following advice I changed the permalinks back to default and all the forums came with the same HTTP error 404. My website structure is “…com/worpress/index.php/forums/forum/…” for some reason.

Hi Everybody, Guys !! ^_^
Please, I have a question.
My Forums shows me this message:

The qTranslate Editor has disabled itself because it hasn't been tested with your WordPress version yet. This is done to prevent WordPress from malfunctioning. You can reenable it by clicking here (may cause data loss! Use at own risk!). To remove this message permanently, please update qTranslate to the corresponding version.

The point is that: Even if when I’ve installed the bbPress qTranslate was not updated, so this message was right … Now qTranslate it is updated, but by the way bbPress doesn’t seems to see the change and it doesn’t shows me forum-contents by language.

The 1.st link in the message (reenable qTranslate) doesn’t works …
What to do, please, if I want to build a multi-language Forum ??

Another deal:
Why bbPress shows me this ugly editor ??

If I click on Visual then it is good, but the 1-st one is the defaul one …

THANK YOU !!
Pietro
