And if you’re using bbPress in conjunction with BuddyPress, the mentions will point to BP profiles instead?

One more question, did you use a child theme for bbPress or did you make your own from scratch?

[DramaticBaby]

Wow! Really nice looking website, one of the better I’ve seen lately. Your forum is almost identical to what I want to accomplish in forms of layout etc.

I’m very new to bbPress, so haven’t really got the hang of customizing it.

May I ask how you accomplished the sectioning of the forum categories (General Discussion, Player factions etc.)?

[r-bouten]

I haven’t found the reason yet, but my guess is it could be something with the PHPMyAdmin version. I tried the same set up of the website (wp installation, bbpress, theme, plugins) on an other server and the Recent Reply Widget was working fine.

I had this problem before as well with posts being displayed in reverse order. So my guess is it’ could be the same problem now.

I have the same issue!
Recent Replies are shown in reverse order. I’m also using WordPress 3.4.2. and BBPress 2.1.2.

[Mike3853]

is there an estimate for when 2.2 will be out? my community has been enjoying BBpress so far, and can’t wait for an update! Thanks for all your work! http://msflights.net/

Can you supply a link to the plugin you are talking about:

Site- http://smokeradio.co.uk Word Press: 3.4.2 BB Press 2.1.2 Using the Twenty12 theme for BB Press but using a commercial theme GONZO for the site

I have a topic: Which i’d embedded a simple iframe to allow people to view a Public Dropbox folder. However you can’t see the content of the iFrame

The link works standalone – when not logged in or several browsers

I tried embedding another website (Google) and you can’t see that either.

I posted as the admin from the backend

The site I want to embed within the topic is:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3t3n22slsptj1xs/Jc8rCxA3pU

Im not a coding whizz kid but sometimes putting things in Span and Div wraps helps, but has made no difference this time.

Is there any reason Why iFrame doesnt work in a BBPress topic?

Is there an alternative to use instead?

Here is a direct link to the topic in question. You’ll see the 410 pixel space where the iframe is supposed to be but its just a blank space. http://smokeradio.co.uk/forums/topic/resources/

Thanks

The “visual” tab has no buttons at all, when I click it the text field disappears! Clicking the “html” tab does nothing. Any ideas? I’ve tried disabling most plugs and this is still happening. A theme issue? Any idea where I should start? Current bbPress and WP version.

Thanks –

Jeffvand: There are a few plugins that allow you to pull in and show custom Sidebars. Two Examples:

These work with Custom Types Ie it recognises the Forums and You can select for them to have their own sidebar:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-sidebars/
But I prefer
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/

Hope this helps.

I too want to remove the sidebar completly. What part of the CSS would I need to remove. Could you send some more detailed instructions of what code and in what CSS files I need to remove. It is only on Forum pages I want to remvoe sidebars.
Thanks

When importing from bbpress 1.x to 2.2 I have this error:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_first_post_id’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(topics.forum_id USING “utf8”) AS forum_id,convert(topics.topic_poster USING “utf8”) AS topic_poster,convert(posts.post_text USING “utf8”) AS post_text,convert(topics.topic_title USING “utf8”) AS topic_title,convert(topics.topic_time USING “utf8”) AS topic_time FROM bb_topics AS topics INNER JOIN bb_posts AS posts USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 950, 50

Converting topics (900 – 949)

Hi,

I have installed bbpress and when making forum there, I failed to understand difference between category and forum. Forum is well known to me but what is category? If category make group of forums, then can I make the font size of category text?

[Limbobski]

OK, so what happens when I install 2.1.2 on top of 1.0.2?

Will my data be available in 2.1.2? Or will it clear everything out?

[Stephen Edgar]

The bbPress Plugin v2.x uses the same database as WordPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for this Spence 🙂

Hi!

I’m trying to customize bbpress, which ain’t that easy as many of you may know. My problem is that the number on the right hand side in the reply header is showing the wrong number (I my opinion). It shows the id of the reply instead of the reply number inside the topic.

For example:

I start a topic, post the first reply. The reply header says #36.

Second post, reply header says #37 etc.

I want it to be like this:

First post is #1, second post #2 etc.

How do I accomplish this? Should I use some sort of if statement or loop in php? Or is there any premade function that does this?

[Jared Atchison]

Having better control over the sidebar in bbPress is a very common request and there is even a trac ticket for it.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to handle this automatically. Each theme/framework handles the placement of the sidebar differently, so we can’t bbPress (or a plugin) can’t simply say “don’t show the sidebar” – it’s going to require modifications to your theme.

For those of you who want control over your sidebar, are flexible with theme you are using, and are not comfortable editing your current theme, there is another solution out there.

I created a plugin for sites running on the Genesis Framework called bbPress Genesis Extend. This plugin primarily builds in bbPress compatibility for the Genesis Framework, however it also ads in a few handy extra features – namely full sidebar control.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/screenshots/

If you use the Genesis Framework and this plugin, it allows you to choose what layout you want to use on bbPress pages (full width page, content-sidebar, sidebar-content, etc). Additionally it also has the option to create a dedicated sidebar for bbPress pages, which would allow you to use bbPress widgets on the bbPress portion of your site.

Hopefully as bbPress becomes more popular, other themes and frameworks will build in similar features which will give site administrators control over the layout/sidebar without having to touch any of the code in your theme.

[jeffvand]

By the way, in your instance you can just edit the CSS and hide it that way. That will be much easier than going into each file and editing it. Mine is not pulling the right sidebar though and that is the problem here. Grrr..

[jeffvand]

Did y’all find an easier way to modify the sidebar? I want to keep the sidebar, but it is not registering with the theme I am using and pulling up some default sidebar. I don’t want to have to go in and edit each one. I’d appreciate hearing what y’all did.

Hi,

I’ve just started using the Recent Replies widget but the replies are shown in reverse order. So the oldest 5 instead of the newest 5. Any ideas where this goes wrong?

I am using WordPress 3.4.2. and BBPress 2.1.2. It’s on a Intranet site so i am unable to include the link to the page.

Thnx for any help,

Robert

I’m trying to upgrade a huge bbpress db which until recently we’ve had running on v.0.9. I’ve stepped through the upgrade path of installing v.1 then upgrading to the latest release but when trying to upgrade my database the script always hangs. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to where it does this (sometimes it processes other times it gets stuck at ‘Starting Conversion’).

I’ve tried running this both on the remote server and setting up the site locally to see if I could get the upgrade done locally before porting to the live server but with no joy.

Is there any other way to upgrade the database except for the bundled converter tool within WordPress? Does anyone have any advice as to how I might be able to achieve this?

Any help much appreciated!

Have the same problem. Tried changing Permalinks etc. without getting anywhere.

[pau-bbp]

To solve this problem in files:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php

comment following lines:

// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() )
    $bbp->reply_query->pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $bbp->reply_query->pagination_links );
//else
    //$bbp->reply_query->pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $bbp->reply_query->pagination_links );
