I have a WP blog for which I needed a forum and bbPress was my choice. However, the WP theme I am using for the blog has a get_posts() query on the sidebar to display the 3 latest blog posts. Now after installing the bbPress it shows only the bbPress forum topics, since that is the latest 3 activity on the site. How do I stop bbPress forums topics form showing up as posts in the sidebar?

If asking for help, please include your WordPress version, bbPress version, and a link to your site.

If you have a problem while using a non-bundled theme, check if it happens with TwentyTen or TwentyEleven.

If you found a bug, please create a trac ticket with detailed duplication steps.

Hi, just installed last version of bbPress in my WP 3.4.2 and after activating the plugin the main wp-admin page went blank

what is it?

[nirzol]

I don’t understand.
I used the buddypress default theme –> shortcode not work
change the slug –> not work
Try this solution : http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/infocus-bbpress-20-root-slug –> not work
change to twety theme forum theme –> not work
desactive plugins…

[bbp-single-forum id=44] doesn’t work on forum page…. 🙁

But [bbp-topic-index] this shortcode work.

what can I do more ?

[renai42]

hey John,

I appreciate your response.

I’m sorry, but I don’t agree bbPress’ code or the process of implementing it is nicely documented. In fact, very little of it is documented that I can see — and much of what does exist refers to bbpress 1.x. As an example, I found it almost impossible to find any documentation this week on how to install a new bbPress 2.x theme, or how to modify existing themes. For a WordPress plugin … this is pretty unusual.

I appreciate that this is an open source community … I guess I’m disappointed because I feel what bbPress is doing has the potential to be revolutionary — and that its difficulty of implementation is limiting that potential. WordPress has needed what bbPress is doing for many years.

Cheers,

Renai

I am new to bbpress and setting up a forum in my blog. I want the sharing buttons to not show in the forum’s name. I go to the edit forum page, uncheck the “Show sharing buttons.” but, when I update it, it ‘re-checks’. I am unable to uncheck them no matter how many times I do it.

Further, if i go to Appearance/Elbee Elgee settings (my theme)/bbpress I check “Disable Sidebar Widget Areas:” and/or “Disable Footer Widget Areas” and save changes. Once updated and saved, the boxes always remain unchecked.

I have been to setting/sharing checked and unchecked everything but it simply won’t take the changes I requiere. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

When you’re logged in and go to leave a comment it says ‘Logged in as ‘user’. Log Out?’ I would like the word ‘user’ to link to the users bbpress profile thats set up instead of the wordpress profile in the backend.

I know very little about php and how to make it work but I’m good with html and css.

Using Compatibility version: bbpress is calling upon my main sidebar widget area. Where is this code? I created a new widget area in functions.php in my existing theme called “Forum Sidebar” so that I can put my bbpress widgets as a sidebar on the forum. (I have added widget areas successfully before). I created one forum category here: http://musiclearningcommunity.com/wordpress/forums/forum/maximize-music-learning/ In every php document in bbp-theme-compat, I replaced:

(I can’t get my code to show up!) argh.
with the following: ….

I do not see any changes – my main sidebar persists. Thank you for your help! Theme: Addington, bbPress version: 2.1.2, website: http://www.musiclearningcommunity.com/wordpress`

Hi there – I have a forum on a membership site running:

bbpress 2.1.2, buddypress 1.6.1, wordpress 3.4.2

with a premium theme.

The site owners have asked if we can add the ability for users to upload photos and embed video into forum posts. The rich tinyMCE editor doesn’t include the standard media uploader button, and even though in my Settings for bbPress I have the option to embed video/flickr/etc checked, when I paste the code in it defaults to a link instead of the embed object. I’m not very familiar with either bbPress or buddypress, so any help is greatly appreciated. I’ve attached a screenshot of the current forum editor.

Because the site is a membership site and the forums are protected, the link won’t help much but here it is: http://www.innercircletheater.com.

I’m more than happy to pay someone to implement these components. Also, I’ve tried adding the bbpress post tools plugin, but it breaks my theme.

Thanks!
Shannon

I definitely understand you need help but there is no need to post another thread when your first one is still on the front page. Closing this one.

[Jared Atchison]

Man this is weird. I think its a plugin or the theme hijacking the query or something which is making bbPress go haywire.

Two things to do to narrow down the problem.

1) Temporarily switch you theme (just for a moment) to TwentyTen. Does the problem still happen? If no, then your theme is conflicting with bbPress, if yes this proceed to 2.

2) Temporarily disable all plugins other than bbPress. It will likely start working when they are all disabled if you got this far. Then turn them on one by one until you find the culprit.

Pippin, is is possible to add a numeric indicator on the forum index page beside each topic to denote how many unread posts are inside of that topic? I imagine this being similar to iOS’s badges. This is a request from a current client, so I would be up for adding this myself if it’s not something you plan to integrate. I am, however, a bit of a novice at bbPress, so if there is anything that you could share to get me on the right path, I’d appreciate it! The plugin has been a lifesaver, thank you!

Hello,

I have been experimenting with different forums, so I’ll start this with a compliment. bbpress is the best wordpress forum software (plugin) offered.

The problem I am having is the installation location of the forum. For example:

It always installs to http://www…com/forums/forum/all-forums/ (the name of the actual forum is “all forums”)

I would like the forum to be installed at http://www…com/forum/

I would note that it automatically puts in the extra sub directories without asking me.

Also, strangly, if I make the forum http://www…com/forum, this redirects to my blog, which I do not understand at all.

Please help.

Thanks,

Robbie

I am using the latest wordpress and latest bbpress.

I can recreate it. It was the first thing I did before posting here in fact :P. Being a software dev it was step 1. I created a new user account the same as all my users, I made a post on a forum and also tried replying to 1. I then clicked the edit button, it opened the edit form which showed all of the wordpress posts. When I use my Key Master account, I don’t see this, I am able to edit properly. Same goes for my other admins who have been editing there posts

Found it, thank you

[Jared Atchison]

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. 🙂

[Cigaras]

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.

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?
