Off the top of my head I’m not sure, but tinker with it a little and report back. I’ll be traveling for a day or two, but I can try tinkering with it when I get back.

Hi Pippin, great work on this plugin so far. Thank you. I read through the code and tested it out. The plugin works great, and I commend you for your hard work on this. I wanted to provide a bit of feedback in case you are planning any further revisions, just to weigh in with my 2c: 1) I realize you needed somewhere to hook the “mark as read/unread” link, and by default in bbp_theme_compat no action hook is provided in a topic header. Hooking it onto the subscribe link wedges it between subscribe/favorite and is overall a bit awkward for templating. I’m not sure what a better default solution would be, but personally I felt the need to unhook this and manually place the toggle button somewhere more appealing. 2) A standalone function to display a loop of unread topics would be great. show_unread_topics() is purpose built for the bbpress user profile, but under many circumstances users might want to call this list elsewhere (if we are using BuddyPress profiles for example). Personally I created a “View Unread Topics” page that functions similarly to the “Recent Topics” archive. Anyways, including a function for just the unread topics loop (with pagination) would be a nice addition for template flexibility purposes. 3) For a site with thousands of topics, is having that bulky a “_bbp_mar_read_ids” entry in meta a concern? 4) The plugin serves a nice function of allowing a user to track whether or not he/she has looked at topics which are posted. However, it seems to me that full “view unread posts” functionality would entail clearing resetting the “read” flag when the topic is updated with a new reply. What about saving each “read” ID to meta as: post_id?num_replies where num_replies is the number of replies to the topic when the user marked it as read. When a topic is called you can explode out how many replies it had when the user first marked it. If the topic now has more replies than when it was marked, you can override the “read” flag and reset it to unread. Probably not a very elegant solution, but I think what most users would be interested in is being able to generate a list of threads with unread content, not necessarily just unread topics. Anyways, thanks very much for your work on this. I’ll be keeping an eye on how this project develops. Andrew

I need that info too.

I’ve installed bbpress via Buddypress, by adding the sitewide forums.
I’ve also installed the plugin Vote-it-up.

To use this plugin, i need to edit some of the bbpress files. I need to find the file that lists all the topics and the single forum topic file.

I am using the Standard buddypress theme, but how can I access the bbpress files?

Versions:
Wordpress: 3.4.2
bbpress: 2.1.2
buddypress: 1.6.1

[alexanderraoul]

Hi!

wordpress version: 3.4.2
bbpress version: 2.2-bleeding

When I click Edit post the edit post page appears but it hasn’t anything to edit. The post doesn’t appear and therefor I cant edit the post.

Does anyone know why?

[jezza101]

OK, so to do that I would have to close the post myself, which looks like I just have to add two x divs

 Div   <!-- .bbp-reply-content -->

Div

But it looks like HTML filters are being applied still – ah, is this a case of ordering things so that my filter comes right at the end, ie after the HTML filter?

..ah a quick test and, yes, this seems to work.

$content=$content.'TEST1(/div)(/div)IS THIS BETWEEN POSTS? YES!(div)(div)';

Ah apologies, the forum filter has filtered out the DIVs above.. putting them back in with curly brackets.

Excellent. Looks like I need to put some thought into how to make it look good but I think I can work on that! One last question then (sorry, and thanks for your help!), how do I pick out the first post?

I had problem getting this working. Here is my solution.

I had old translation files in the plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/). bbPress was using theses instead of those in the good directory(/wp-content/languages/bbpress/). Remove files from the plugin folder, since the good place to put them is in the language folder(/wp-content/languages/bbpress/).

[Ronileco]

I haven’t worked on BuddyPress and BBPress on BodyPress, so i can’t help you with that.
I’ll try to get someone to answer this :).
It is just a single php file, hope you can take the relevant parts and create a buddy press plugin.

I just setup BBPress today and am excited to get it fully deployed, however I’m having an issue with the Forum root page: http://bricksofthedead.com/forums/

As you can see, it’s posting truncated information. Also, the page is not editable.

To try to fix this, I created a page with that slug and used the shortcode, but once I published it behaved the same way.

I changed the URL on my created page to http://bricksofthedead.com/forum/, and it is displaying correctly, the trouble is, I can’t get the breadcrumb navigation to link there instead. I tried changing the default slug to /forum, but that ended up displaying the broken page instead of the correctly working one.

This seems like a super simple thing to fix, but I’ve been struggling with it for a couple hours now. Any help?

[Ajay Sharma]

firstly you must select one base forum to create topic, and if still not then there must be problem in integration bbpress check the short codes here https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ create new post or page then per page separtely put required short code . and preview them they must work.
best of luck.

Hi all. I am using bbPress 2.0.2 as a plugin with WordPress 3.3.1 The theme is Twenty Ten 1.3. bbPress pagination parameters: 15 topics per page, 15 replies per page. The problem: there is the biggest theme in our forum – http://chistyekluchi.org/?topic=вопросы-по-дорогам 136 replies. Every page link (1, 2, 3 etc.) works fine, only link to page 10 is broken. But 10th page is accessible by entering to the address bar: http://chistyekluchi.org/?topic=вопросы-по-дорогам&paged=10

Thank you very much in advance for answering

I have a WordPress 3.4.2 installation that has bbPress 1.0.2 running on it.

I would like to upgrade bbPress to version 2.1.2

As I understand it, bbPress used to be a seperate product back when this was set up?

And now it’s a plugin for WordPress and I can find it under the plugins sections for WordPress.

But how to I go about updating the forum? Should I just leave the files as they are and install the bbPress plugin on top of it?

[johnny676767]

I’m having a lot of issues getting bbpress to work properly. first thing I need for users to able to write a post with HTML capabilities, and for some reason that option is all blanked out for subscribing users, i’ve tried everything. Second I would like users to have the ability to edit their post, I had that option before and now its disappeared for what ever reason i am not sure. And when i did have the edit post option available to users, you could make the revision but you couldnt submit it because of some issue with the form. Its the same problem as if I was Admin and editing another users post. you just cant submit it. I am working off the default bbpress theme, if anybody can shed some light on the topic It would be much appreciated, im losing my mind here

Since you’ve recommended the vote plugin, maybe this question is appropriate here.

I have a buddypress install and added bbpress via buddypress. Where do I have to add the code for the vote plugin? I know it’s in the single forum file, but I can’t find that in the standard buddypress theme.

I have the bbPress forum on my site that I am trying to get my readers involved in. When they try to register for an account they get this message:

ERROR: The solution of task you submitted was incorrect. Please read the instruction and try again.

What could this possibly mean?

Some of them successfully registered (or already had an account) and left a comment.
WordPress 3.4.2
bbPress Version 2.1.2

My site: http://blog.organicecobaby.com/

[rogerhnn]

Hello

I am using version 2.1.2 and its hard to find plugins that actually work with bbpress.
For example: this link http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-ratings/
go to a forum post, and not to the proper plugin page.

Any help?

Thanks

[smokeradiosocialmedia]

Sorry. Wasnt sure what details you needed. Its a responsive Premium Theme by ‘Ollie Mcarthey’ called Gonzo:
http://themeforest.net/item/gonzo-clean-responsive-wp-magazine/2415788?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=OllieMcCarthy

It is used here on the site http://www.smokeradio.co.uk

And the forum link (As im yet to link to it publicly) is:
http://smokeradio.co.uk/forums/

The BBpress theme is set to compat; which is the default. I Presumed changing it to Twenty12 which is the other option (in the forum settings) mean the forums would lose the look and feel of the gonzo theme and make it like a whole other site. Part of the reason why I like BBpress was for its intergration esque style.

Thanks

[Jared Atchison]

What theme are you using?

[smokeradiosocialmedia]

Sorry this doesnt address your issue. But im interested in your last paragraph. I also want to make the forums to not have a sidebar, Can you explain how you did this?

Although at another read, was it just copyng the WordPress themes into the BBPress themes folder and is this what caused your problem?
Thanks

[smokeradiosocialmedia]

Hi There,

Im looking for some advice on what I need to do in order to get the forum on my site to display as a ‘Full page Post’ or in other words to turn the sidebar off in just the Forums.

Is there a plugin that allows you to turn off sidebars instead of just creating custom ones for specific pages/categories etc. This would be most useful; Although I’d appreciate another way ie with coding; If thats out there as well.

In Short can anybody guide me though how to remove the sidebar on my BBPress Forums?
That be grand. Cheers

[Kr3m1in]

I’m quite peeved that bbPress doesn’t have a url structure like this for topics:

website.com/forum/subforum/anothersubforum/topic-name

but rather

website.com/topic/topic-name

Is there any solution for this? (If plugin requests aren’t permitted here, please let me know kindly and I’ll remove it.)

Hi guys. Bbpress installed really well and integrated brilliantly. Very nice.

My problem though is when creating a new topic and hit submit, I am taken to a blank page (as in no content at all). Now I have changed all my permalinks back to default and back again and to many other variations – no joy, even on the default. It seems to happen when the page is submitted so I am guessing now that it might be something to do with the $_POST not being handled right. I get no error with WP_DEBUG set to true (which it currently is) and if I just refresh the page it loads the forum up like nothing has happend.

my error_log file has nothing in it since the 5th of July.

If you goto http://www.fluffygamers.co.uk/forums feel free to have a go. 🙂

Thanks very much for reading!

After some more work, we are now wondering if this has to do with our use of the old bbpress/wordpress integration plugin for user accounts. Does that sound likely? Has anyone else run into this?

[Freeman9005]
