Are you using the latest versions of bbPress/WordPress?

I’ve never heard of this happening at all since 2.0 has been released. I have no cluet what’s going on, but we’re going to need a lot more information.

Can you duplicate this?

We need to know the steps taken to “break” it. Specifically, what “edit” link did she click? On what post? When it took her to the edit page, what was the full URL? That sort of information.

You need to ask the user for step by step direction on how this occurred. We need to duplicate it to see if it is indeed a real bug or just something breaking on your site due to a theme/plugin conflict. 🙂

So I clicked the Appearance -> Menu section, entered name for menu “Forums”, clicked Create Menu, what next? I entered http://127.0.0.1:8080/wordpress/forums/ into Custom Menu field, clicked the Add to Menu button, then Save Menu, and it doesn’t help, the new menu doesn’t appear on the page, what did I miss?

Go to /wp-admin/nav-menus.php (section Appearance -> Menu from left sidebar), create a menu (if you don’t have one), assign it and insert the link to the /forums page.

Super simple question: how to add link to bbpress forums on my wordpress page header using default theme?

[dailydose]

Currently on Bwater that I customized. I’m on bbPress Version 2.1.2 tried to find what version I am on, on WordPress but can’t seem to find, but do know that Im getting Updates to Update to the WordPress Version : 3.4.2 So take it I am on the old one. I don’t want to Update as I’m Petrofied of loosing all my hard Work that’s took me a year to do, and states in my Update’s that if I do Update, I will loose all my Customizations. RIGHT.. Hoping ANYONE can help me out on this one, I have sat for 4 whole Day’s and Nights trying to figure this out, and has now given up 🙁 I have not toched any bbPress css or has edited it in anyway to say in advance. There seems to be 2 Issues wrong. The Layout.
When I choose the bbPress Default compat theme, The top half is fine, but when we get to the Create New Topic in: section it’s half Cut off you cant even see the Submit button. Widgets are showing fine though.
I’m not to fussed about having set by default but would like to have it as a full page width, which I have done followed all Instructions! of even going into my Page setting the page attributes to Full-Width-no-sidebar Option. Then changed to the Twenty Ten (bbPress) plugin theme which made it Full width, but my Avatar is placed right at the Top Left hand of my page which is odd, and my Widgets are on the page also, which shouldn’t be there if I have set the page to full width. also the Widgets are @ the bottom of my page but scatterd all over my Forum ughhh. I have read through all of the Forums regarding this matter (Topic) Tried for myself but still does not look right. Please can ANYONE be so kind to help me on this matter PLEASE. Cant sit for another 4days trying to figure this out very frustrating really, and a Shame as I really like this bbPress its the only theme that looks nice on my site. Now if I can only get it to work! I have tried absolutly everything before coming to the forum unless absolutly ness.
any step by step code help as I am not that savvy with all codes as of yet but know alittle.

[Daethian]

Holy cow you are fast! Thanks I’ll try it out 🙂

[Jared Atchison]

Right now this is best handled with a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Though its definitely on the watch list for bbP core. 🙂

I’m using bbPress forums but I can’t figure out how to post photos?

[wpmhweb]

Hello,

I am just wondering if this is how it suppose to work. I was testing the user’s page in bbpress and I update my bio and when I hitted the update profile button it seemed that it worked ok. Later on I was in my WordPress user profile when I noticed that most of my settings were reset to defaults. I shouldn’t updated my profile through bbPress? Or there is a bug?

Thanks,

PS: I am using WP 3.4.2 and bbP 2.1.2

[ironman]

Dear netweb Thank you for your information. I came up with how to make favorites page but I will still wait for the sharing of the codes as my clients are asking for more and more customization of the bbpress forum as they uses the forum daily bases.
thanks again for your information.

[Jared Atchison]

Here are the pages I looked at

http://www.ausdrumline.com/forum/
http://www.ausdrumline.com/forum/topic/marching-bass-guitar/
http://www.ausdrumline.com/topics/

I’m not sure why it worked previously, but it’s definitely a theme conflict that is messing up the display. I see this frequently with users who are using complex themes and/or frameworks.

I could get in touch Pagelines and see if they have a fix or a compatibility plugin that will make the theme play nice with bbPress. I’m sure you are not the first person who is using the framework to have this problem.

As a Genesis Framework user, people who use Genesis + bbPress have problems very similar to this, which is why I developed the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin which makes them play nice. Pagelines needs to do something along these lines as well.

[Stephen Edgar]

Please see this thread regarding the code used here on bbPress.org

What theme does this site use?

[d2drumline]

Hi Guys,

I have no idea what has happened to my forums – they were up and running fine for a little while but have recently fallen apart on me.

Am running the Pagelines Framework, latest versions of BBPress, Buddypress and WordPress.

Have tried deactivating recently installed plugins with no success. If anyone could suggest what may be going on that would be greatly appreciated

Apologies in advance if I have not provided enough info – if you need anything else, please just ask. I am new around these parts 🙂

Hi,

how do I exclude addthis from my forum posts. There are no addthis checkbox in the post area so I suppose that I have to put some code in the bbpress forum template?

Ok thanks i’ll check it out. Also any recommendations on where I can find someone to do custom work regarding bbpress?

[byalik]

I just installed bbpress – http://www.legalfriend.com/law-forum/

As you will see I have some widgets on the left side from a different plugin. I was able to use the “display-widgets” plugin to remove those widgets on the left side from other pages like:
http://www.legalfriend.com/law-forum/cat/family-law/

But in order to remove it from that page, I need to know the ID of that page. I do not have a separate page for it, as I never created it. It was automatically created by bbpress. Any way of finding out the ID for it?

[Clicknathan]

Does anyone know of a way I could add a CSS class to items that a user has already viewed.

I have some custom code (taken from the bbpress Recent Replies widget) that essentially shows my recent replies on my forum’s home page. This:

         $post_types,
            'post_status'    => join( ',', array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ) ),
            'posts_per_page' => $max_shown,
            'meta_query'     => array( bbp_exclude_forum_ids( 'meta_query' ) )
        ) );

        // Get replies and display them
        if ( $widget_query->have_posts() ) :

            echo $before_widget;
            echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>



                have_posts() ) : $widget_query->the_post(); ?>

                    <li >
                    post->ID );
                          $author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( 'post_id' => $reply_id, 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 100 ) );
                          echo $author_link. ' on';
                          echo '<a href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id ) ) . '" title="' . bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 50 ) . '">' . bbp_get_reply_topic_title( $reply_id ) . '</a>';
                          echo ''. bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 150 ) . '';
                          echo '' . get_the_date(), get_the_time().'';

                        ?&gt;







            &lt;?php echo $after_widget;

        endif;

is_mb there is just a custom function I wrote to determine whether the page being viewed is the homepage or not. Anyway, I'd love to add a class to the opening LI tag if a user has already viewed that. Any ideas?

Hi, First of all thank you very much for the bbpress plugin.

I like to make a favorites page just like the favorites pages on this forum.

When I managed to make template based on the profile page, the favorites page does not show lists.

Could you share the templeate code of Favorites pages and subscription page of this forum?

I’ll appreciate your help and advise on this.

Sungheon Lee from Seoul, South Korea.

[ironman]

hi I have the same problem as yours. Did you find solutions to the problem? If you have an answer, please let me know.
I think bbPress’s favorite page is based on the customization of the profile page. Can I ask bbpress team to share the template of the favorite page of bbpress forum?

[zaerl]

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php line 686:

$total = bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id );

this is erroneous because of this:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-filters.php line 158:

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_reply_count', 'bbp_number_format', 10);

Actually speaking bbp_get_user_topic_count, bbp_get_user_reply_count, bbp_get_user_post_count, bbp_get_forum_subforum_count, bbp_get_forum_topic_count, bbp_get_forum_reply_count, bbp_get_forum_post_count, bbp_get_topic_voice_count, bbp_get_topic_reply_count and bbp_get_topic_post_count are all affected by this bug.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not 100% sure this is exactly what you were wanting to do, but I figured I’d post this for anyone else for finds this thread.

I released a plugin that basically hides bbPress from all users who are not logged in.

For example, if your forum is at YourDomain.com/forums and a vistor tries to go there who is not logged in, they will be redirected to a URL of your choice (defined in the settings). Also this plugin disables all bbPress RSS feeds and most shortcodes.

So far everything appears to be OK for us, we only need to remember to apply the fix again after every BBpress upgrade until it is fixed officially.

Also just to mention that this bug could occur only on European forums? I noticed something that made me think so: In Greece and most European countries we use the comma (,) as a decimal separator, actually what was happening, it was interpreting 2,033 as 2 replies.

We found that in discussions with 27,300 and 30,156 replies it was displaying 2 pages, because it was interpreting 27,300 to 27 replies and 30,156 to 30

You can just delete the user and assign all those topics & replies to another user.

eg. If your vBulletin username was ‘Anointed’ and that username is the same username you setup for WordPress during the import, bbPress would have created a username ‘Imported_Anointed’ to avoid duplicates etc.

Go to the WordPress Admin -> Users and find the username ‘Imported_Anointed’ and click ‘delete’, the next screen will show you a copuple of options to either delete the user and all posts OR to ‘Attribute all posts and links to’ another username, simply select your ‘Anointed’ username from the dropdown list and all topics and replies will now be merged with your primary WordPress username ‘Anointed’

[Anointed]

I just imported my vbulletin forums into bbPress.

Question:
I want to take all the topics and replies that were added to vbullletin(now bbpress) under my old username and merge those topics and replies to my current username.

Is there a tool to do this, or do I need to do a direct mysql query by hand?

[fcastro72]

Hello i have a problem.
I’m using bbpress with Buddypress 1.6.1 when a user goes to the forum pages , can see all the tags even if they are related to private forums so when he clicks on a tag referring to a private posts he has an error (no topics found)
Is possible to filter the tags or only showing the public tags?
Thank you
