Sorry for the double post. I don’t see the edit button. I guess its disabled after a certain amount of time? any ways essentially I want to theme BBPress. The problem is that the theme needs to be apart of the WordPress theme (I created) so that if you install the theme, and you have bbpress installed it will be able to use that theme instead of default which I think is a theme compatible … theme

think of it this way: WordPress comes with two themes when you install it. 2010 and 2011. you can go out and get new ones or modify this one. what if you want your own. You write it from the ground up.

This is what I wan’t to do with bbpress – a “theme” so to speak. So that when you install bppress you can “use as default” or “click to enable this look” (which in my case would be on by default) how would I achieve this? pure css?

what if I wanted to create a new “display forums” template or a new “login” template? is there documentation on “themeing bbpress?” and making that theme the default? Hope that makes better sense….

Your sidebar is calling ‘the_content’ somehow during the main query loop, still in a sidebar. Basically, the theme is doing something really weird that it shouldn’t be.

[kbunt]

Same happens for /forums/users/admin/ where the main content is repeated in the sidebar and the footer widget areas. I can’t seem to isolate the issue. This theme uses WooSidebar Manager to create custom sidebars which I have done for the Forums custom post type.

I’ve also update the CSS so you can see both affected areas.

[Adam]

I see you have functions and what not and already specified ways of calling the forum data from the database into specified ways of displaying the topic and the replies or the forum and its topics. The question is, is there enough api in the core bbpress for me to say, instead of laying out the forums this way I am going to re-write them from the ground up and display them my way.

or would you recommend just using css to make my changes?

Having the same issue in a footer widget as well as the sidebar. BBPress is overriding the footer 1 and primary widgets on the /forum/. I’ve made the page forum full width via a custom CSS file to make it disappear in the sidebar as a short term solution, but can’t seem to find the issue in the code.

With todays versions (WP 3.4.1 and BBpress 2.1.2), is this really possible? I have been waiting for a “attachments upload function” ever since BBpress 2.0. I am still using the old BBpress and CK‘s attachments plugin.

If this is possible, it’s time to upgrade 🙂

PS: I heard that BBpress 2.2 will have this feature built-in. Would it be wice to wait for that instead?

[mike05]

So um…. What’s up with this?

Im using the bbpress widget in wordpress, and when certain pages do not have a listing on them, “phantom page links” appear from out of nowhere. I have the widget placed in the center section of the footer.

Does anyone know what’s going on?

[Ronileco]

Sure thing.

The boxes are CSS and our own design but you can use the Vote It Up plugin for votes, although it hasn’t been updated in ages.

You’ll need to customise and theme it. BTW, we are using BBPress 2.0.2 and not the latest but it should work.

Good Luck…

[safeer.husssain]

Hey Roni!
Awesome work. Can you please guide me regarding the insertion of Vote/Replies Boxes.
Are these Plugins ?
Regards
Safeer

[frippen]

Same here. My subscribers cannot edit their own posts. Where do one start looking? Is it bbpress-specific och WP?

[Ronileco]

We now have user badges on the site.

Coming soon is BBPress analytics plugin, probably for piwik.

I get the following error when installing the bbPress plugin for site-wide forums under BuddyPress.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 616352 bytes) in /home/birthpho/public_html/web/wp-admin/includes/admin.php on line 29

What could be the cause of this? I have plenty of hosting space available, does this require memory elsewhere?

Hi

I just installed bbpress on our wordpress site, but the users cannot edit their own topics (no edit menu in the bar)
I checked then the permissions with the plugin “User Role Editor” but I saw nothing weird in it.
We tried to install another WordPress/bbpress on another machine: same issue !

Thanks for your help !!

[joethephish]

I have also been getting reports of this happening:

http://www.inklestudios.com/forums/topic/unable-to-edit-my-own-profile

Oddly enough though, when I created a test account, it worked fine.

Any thoughts? Love bbpress by the way! Just looking forward to getting the teething problems out of the way 🙂

[richardpd]

Thanks for your reply. Do I presume from this that the error message:Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ is a BuddyPress error? So I will need to find help with BuddyPress to fix this
(I updated 9 plugins all at once & this included bbPress & BuddyPress latest versions-so it would seem likely the problem is with the BuddyPress plugin update).

Hey bbpress community, I’m excited to say I launched my new website yesterday, its running the 2.1.2 plugin version of WordPress, but I’ve modified its templates pretty heavily, and added some custom functions. You can check it out at: http://tamrielfoundry.com Some cool features of my bbpress are:

• Dropdown forum index in navigation menu
• User profile integration with custom profile pages
• Forum quotes
• User signatures for forum posts and comments

I’ve got plans for a bunch more features I’d like to build in, but I’m just happy the site is live for now. Thanks for all the hard work developing this awesome forum plugin. Let me know what you think of the site!

Just tried again. Latest WP installation, “Twenty ten” theme with bbPress and Akismet plugins only and still getting this.

What function may cause this? Will try to find by myself.

[MTPrower]

“The WordPress page will always win”? The bbPress settings’ “Forum base” always overrides a page in WordPress by the same slug for me. This has ALWAYS been a problem for me, on any WordPress installation. I use the Origin theme currently, if that helps any…

[MTPrower]

I would try that if I knew how to change where the root link in the breadcrumbs (the root link says “Forums”) goes to, but I don’t know PHP well enough. I hope there’s something I can add to my functions.php to change where the root link goes to…

[MTPrower]

The first thing you said, as the fix to the problem, is correct. I’ve been mucking around with PHP files for a week. I’ve studied loop-forums.php, which seems to be the page I need to change, and loop-single-forum, which seems to be the page I’m trying to replicate the style of, but no matter what I try, I don’t know PHP well enough to find the fix. I use the default bbPress theme.

[John James Jacoby]

I still don’t understand. Just make them the same slug? The WordPress page will always win.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress has always shifted the emphasis of the forums towards the topics and content. Traditional forums tend to focus on content categorization, the forum hierarchy, and what content lives where.

Because of this, the transition from some-other-forums to bbPress is sometimes met with the wish that it looked and worked like what you’re used to. A few people have mentioned wanting something like this in bbPress core, and while I think there’s merit to the idea, I don’t see it as a priority above the other things bbPress needs (user management, BuddyPress integration, etc…)

If you’d like to help build this enhancement, chime in here. I’d love to have someone that wants this in core to take it on, while I work on other priorities for 2.2. I’ll gladly review patches and help you all build this, but you’ll want to get something up and working independently to start.

Any takers?

[MTPrower]

I want the option for it to go to a page of my choosing. People often don’t like the default forums-archive page (which ends up being the root/home page), so they create a WordPress page with bbPress shortcodes in it to be the forums’ home page. The problem is, when they do that, the breadcrumbs root link, which says “forums”, doesn’t go to that page. it goes to the archive page, or forums-index– which is the page they were trying to avoid.

[John James Jacoby]

the breadcrumbs still link to the forums-index page

I don’t understand. Where do you want your “Forums” link to go, other than your forums?
