Looks good…

Are the ‘missing pagination’ and ‘missing text when editing a reply’ custom template issues or do you think they are bbPress related?

[Anointed]

The theme on this site is a custom theme, though with a little css work it can be done. Meaning there is nothing on this site that is ‘ultra’ custom which would require difficult programming levels. Pretty much a basic understanding of css and a little bit of html and you can easily get it to look like this. But NO, out of the box it does not look like this.

[Gary3000]

This has been asked several times, and the answer was that it’s a custom theme they created just for bbPress.org, and that it may at some point in the future be released publicly.

[Anointed]

There is not currently a shortcode capable of doing this.

HOWEVER!!
There is a way of accomplishing this and so much more with a plugin.

If you have ever had to deal with multisite and switch_to_blog() before, then this plugin is going to blow your mind away. Hands down my #1 rated plugin of the year 🙂

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to JJ and to say thank you very much for all the help you have been.

I’ve got to say, that JJ really went out of his way this week in helping me with my installation of bbPress. I’m talking a level of help that I would never expect from anyone and it was greatly appreciated.

To many times, especially in this forum, there are just a lot of unhappy people leaving mean messages as they are frustrated with their individual issues. I wanted to take a moment out of my day to publicly say Thank You for all the hard work you do on these forums and this software. There is no way bbPress would be anywhere near what it is today without you and I for one appreciate the hard work you put into this.

Just know your hard work and dedication to this project is appreciated.

I’ve removed all the breadcrumb calls in every template file but they still show up. I can’t use the filter because I have the call in header.php. Any idea why this isn’t working? For now I just solved it with CSS, but would like to know where the hook is.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-home, 
# bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-root,
# bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-separator,
# bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-current { display: none; }

I love the layout: http://bbpress.org/forums/ The forums on the left, and a big Latest Topics are on the right. Tags and such in the left too. I keep reinstalling my bbPress but no matter what I do, I cannot get my forums to show up like this. See here:

http://covenantvoice.com/forums/

I just want to fix the layout. Any idea on what I’m doing wrong? I’m using the very latest bbPress, 2.1.2.

I was thinking the shortcode could include the site id. Something like this:

[bbp-single-forum siteid=2 id=32]

I am not sure if that is possible.

Hi guys,

We’ve recently switched from phpBB3 to BBpress and so far so good. I wanted to personally thank everyone on these forums for their tutorials and hacks that have helped us create the forums we were looking for. I also want to thank all of you that have worked on the BBpress plugin itself. It was difficult at times switching from phpBB3 and customizing BBpress but it was definitely worth it. Our site still has a few bugs like missing Pagination on the Topics pages and missing text when editing replies but those should be fixed soon.

You can check out our new forums at http://ShadowedMare.com/forums.

Thanks again! You guys are great!

[glimmerguy]

I have the same issue. The sidebar is cutting off all the RH text of people’s forum posts plus hiding the all-important Submit button. What were once very robust forums in Drupal are now dead in the water in WordPress due to this issue.

I want all the forum pages and posts to be full-width, like the main forums page where I placed the short code. I’m willing to pay someone to help resolve this, since I don’t know how to do coding or create child themes, and can’t use the Genesis plugin since I’m not using a Genesis framework. Any links anyone can point to for help? Thanks. (By the way I now see that this very forum suffers a bit from the same issue—the message box is cut off on the right and the green Submit button is partially cut off—but at least people can see it.)

We are adding forums to an existing site rather than having a site that is 100% forums. I already have a breadcrumb set up for the main site but the forums don’t show up in them. Since the bbPress breadcrumb functions are significantly more complex than the simple breadcrumbs I currently use I decided to use bbPress’ crumbs in place of the main one. I have successfully modified the function to include category and single page data in the crumbs (without having “forums” as the base) but the blog root disappears. Help? Here’s what I added to ** Current Text **

// Category Page
if (is_category() || is_single()) {
    the_category(' » ');
    if (is_single()) {
        echo " » ";
        the_title();
    }

That omitted the blog root from the crumbs, so I tried this, which didn’t work either.

if (is_category() || is_single()) {
    $pre_current_text[] = '<a href="' . trailingslashit( home_url() ) . '">Front Row</a>' . the_category(' &raquo; ');
    if (is_single()) {
        echo " &raquo; ";
        the_title();
    }

I’m not really sure what I’m doing here. I’m no function whiz.

Hi locomo,
Do you know if there is a bbpress hook that you could add checked to that field?

UPDATE: After making sure it wasn’t a plugin-compatibility issue, I refreshed my permalinks via the instructions here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-not-working/.

And it worked!

[ashleyschroeder]

I’m having this exact same problem, too. Only, for me, this issue has appeared out of nowhere on an existing install. I’m running bbpress on another website and compared the backend settings; it’s working on one site, but not the other.

[Stephen Edgar]

Nice work, thanks for sharing it.

[kristinachilds]

I’ve installed this plugin and the admin side works perfectly. I am able to create forums, topics, replies, etc, however it doesn’t not show up on the actual site. At all. Even when I click the “preview forum” or “view forum” buttons, the browser tells me that link doesn’t exist. It’s a 404 error.

I’ve checked all the settings and they are all public and seem to be correct… Though as an admin I should be able to see them all anyway.

I’m on WordPress 3.4.2 with bbPress 2.1.2

[gingerngo]

Hi all, I’ve upgraded to bbPress 2.0, which is great. The one thing I’ve noticed though is that the post id’s for my old topics and replies have changed.

For example, in my old version of bbPress, a topic with topic ID #334 now has a post ID of #587. Understandable, with the introduction of custom post types.

But now I can’t actually refer to the old topic or reply id’s anymore without having to do an extra search in the database.

Just wondering if there was a way to re-map all the old topics/replies to automatically forward to the new ones? Or if there is a way to relate the old versions of the posts to the new ones and create a meta key like “old_bbpress_post_id”?

I’m thinking specifically in the case of Google search results, the old forum posts will still show up and won’t be forwarded to the new forum.

@John

First I want to thank you for bbPress as I use it a lot. 🙂

I had same question like OC2PS from long time and after reading your answers, I still feel an urge to take this discussion ahead. IMHO what OC2PS suggested is intuitive.

With references to your answers:

> Taxonomies don’t have metadata, to allow for topic & replies counts or latest content

(Not one of best suggestion) Taxonomy-meta can be stored in an extra mysql-table. I wish like many other this to be part of WordPress core though (ref)

Once we accept overhead of extra DB table, other things seems easy.

> Comments don’t allow for attachments without some major work

Comments already have commentmeta. May be we can use it to store array of attachment_id.

Off-topic – By the way I did not find attachments support in bbPress out of the box? I am using a bbPress plugin for that. Am I missing something here?

> The API for custom post types is farther along…

Agree. 🙂

Post-revision is an example which I guess used internally to track edits to replies.

==

While the outcome bbPress is good in reality, it just feels off-beat to have 3 custom-posts.

IMHO, going with 1 custom-post+commets+custom-taxonomy way might have made themeing part easier…

[Rahul Bansal]

Thanks. I was looking for a thread like that.

May be I choose wrong keywords to search.

I will continue there…

[folgerj]

Well then I think Jacob should consider this as a request for feature. One other item that I noticed this fall is the lack of love from Google also went away. Last year Autumn 2011 I would see my forum posts and replies pop up in google search (so needless to say I was lovin BBPress) but this year 2012 I haven’t seen any of my forum posts, or replies show up so that seems to be another area to be looked at. I think my forum is in my sitemap but I can’t be sure what changed that none of my forum pages are being crawled by search engines…

I plan to go through and apologize to those who made posts and try to answer their belated questions… Then my thought is to take the forum down… The driving force for the forum was communication with the readers but I really want a panel that feeds all my new posts and replies to one window so I don’t have to take the time to go find these items and the biggest benefits was it told me when it had news for me (yes I subscribe to all my posts) so that didn’t work) and I was getting SEO love from Google and that was fantastic…

All of this went away so the usefulness of the forum has gradually gone away…
Thoughts? Maybe I expect too much but it was all there before…

[ifelseif]

I’m currently integrating BBPress into a existing WP site, and am finding myself scratching my head far to often. I think an example will help get my confusion across.

Take for instance within the new theme-compat files; loop-single-reply.php

This file loops out the topic and all replies.

The file pagination-replies.php is also called before and after loop-single.reply.php.

However if I wanted to remove the before action of pagination-replies.php, where is the template file that brings these components together so I can prevent the pagination from being displayed before the loop?

Within loop-single-reply.php there is no call to pagination-replies, so what file is constructing the output?

Thank you

Is there any shortcode that would allow me to display a forum from one of my other sites on a multisite installation?

I was hoping to display the latest topics of a forum from site “X” on site “Y” because they share interests. I am hoping to do that with shortcode and not a theme change because I am using the same theme across all of my sites.

“how would I implement the bbpress.php file if I don’t want it to get erased in updates”

in your theme template ! read this post !

make a try, corrections (…) anything you want … don’t be afraid …
and don’t forget word like : “thanks” or “please” when you ask something 😉
