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.

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?

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 );

Is there a way to configure bbPress so that my permalink structure would look like this: mydomain.com/forums/forum/topic/random-post-about-something/

today it’s like this:

mydomain.com/forums/topic/random-post-about-something/

Thanks loads, I’m definitely on my way now. If I can just identify the first post then I’ve got everything I need.

I guess I could just set a global flag once we’ve done the first loop to say don’t process my function again – but that doesn’t seem particularly elegant!

Cheers, will definitely pop a credit / link in when I get this out.

aaclayton, speaking about “I wonder how some of the dedicated forum platforms handle this sort of feature.”

Im running bbpress 1.0.2 forum with 400+ topics and 16000+ posts for 2+ years. Im using “Unread Posts” plugin written by ck and should say that its perfect. Have not faced any errors or performance problems with it. Maybe you should look at source of that? Not sure if that plugin can be still found on net, but in case its not I can share the code (actualy there is just one php file).

[Limbobski]

When using the same database for 1.0.2 and 2.1.2, will this work? Does version 2.1.2 use different tables, so I can import from the 1.0.2 tables?

[kate.t]

Thank God! I found the answer just when I need it, and I’ll like to share with all of you. As well as for myself in case I forget.

I went to loop-single-reply.php in bbpress-theme-compat/bbpress

I added below residence;

by the way ‘residence’ is the usermeta key that I have used for country of the author. I used the User Meta Pro plugin to create that field in registration and attached the usermeta key to that piece of information. Hope this helps whoever is looking for it

I posted about this issue.

[LabSecrets]

After (literally) hundreds of folks asking for help with how to get BuddyPress & bbPress playing “nice” with one another, I made this video to walk step by step through the entire process. I’ve also included a few insider tricks to get past the pitfalls.

It’s long (16 minutes), but takes you from blank WP installation all the way to a gorgeous Frisco child theme setup with group forums and sitewide forums living in harmony.
