I’ve installed the bbPress Rating-Widget and cannot get any of the rating themes to show in on the comments on my bbPress forums. I would like users to have the ability to rate the quality of comments, not forum topics. I am I missing something in the installation process? The plugin works on blog posts, oddly, but not bbPress. Thanks for your kind help. Daniel

here is another improvement for BBPress forums –

‘Report user/post’ Button that would automatically hide spam post, and made it visible only to admin/moderators for deltetion or approval etc.

I installed bbpress on this morning. I have been slowly integrating it into my worpdress twentyeleven child theme. One thing I am noticing is that the sample sticky posts I created are not receiving the sticky class added to them.

What I’ve done so far is copy over archive-forum, page-topic-tags, sidebar-bb-tagcloud, single-forum, single-topic, single-user and taxonomy-topic-tag into my child theme and formatted the each page to match my existing theme. If i view my site in live preview using the bbpress theme I see that the Sticky class is being applied to the sticky topics. I’m not sure why this isn’t happening using my child theme?

It’s been 24 hours, and this is one of the most fundamental, and seemingly one of the easier-to-fix, problems in bbPress. I’m sure everyone who uses bbPress can benefit from this.

So bump, since I’m pretty sure I’m allowed to do that. It’s been allowed from me before, seemingly even by the great J.J.J.

Hey all,

I have a website that users log into and would like to sign in/register the user when the go to the bbpress forum. The site is NOT a wordpress site.

I have read several posts on this topic:http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrating-with-external-authentication-system/

being the most recent but none of them seem to work. I can successfully log in or create a new user. They show up as logged in on the home page. However when they click any link bbpress does not recognize them as the current user and the login form is displayed again.

We are using bbpress 2.0 db version 2471.

Here is the code I have been inserting either in a file of its own (linking to that file from my system with login parameters passed) or in the header.php file of my businesslike template:

-new_user( compact( ‘user_login’, ‘user_email’, ‘user_url’, ‘user_nicename’, ‘user_status’, ‘user_pass’, ‘display_name’ ) ); if ( is_wp_error($user) ) { echo ” got an error “.$user->get_error_code(); } $user = bb_login( $_GET[‘login’], $_GET[‘password’],1 ); }

$user = bb_set_current_user( $user->ID );

}?>

Great to hear that. At least looks like bbPress is flexible enough.

Thanks!

[Lynq]

This is possible but it would take a little bit of development to get certain things working.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

That is generally all dependent on the theme.

Good luck!

Nope I just had to make a New Page, named it Forum and then put short code [bbp-forum-index] .

Still not sure if this plugin is going to work for me, I am not that happy with the way it is arranged, it is a bit hard to understand how to see the different forums as they are just text and no color bars to differentiate them. Plus I need to have “Youtube” & “Picture” embed buttons to make it easy for people to share.

[JackTheKnife]

I have few questions regarding BBPress customization of registration process:

1. Registration Form: can I add custom fields?
2. Registration process: is it possible to have new registered users to be “approved” by an admin and that admin will receive an email each time when new user will send registration request?
3. Forgot password functionality: is it possible to send pre-generated password instead user will go and reset it?

Thanks.

Hey,

Using BuddyPress 1.6 and bbPress 2.1.2 and come across a problem. When trying to edit a post in a group forum, the page loads the /edit page, but there’s no difference between that page and the actual post page and you don’t get to edit the page.

Tried disabling all addons and running default BuddyPress skin, but doesn’t work. Editing non-group forum posts works.

Hi All,

I am planning to set up a forum to go with my wp blog and got a few questions for you.

1. Since bbpress is now a plugin for wordpress, will it use the same db as wordpress?
2. If it uses the same DB, is it safe?
3. When I install a plugin for bbpress, will it add the load to my blog pages too?
4. Is there a way to customize bbpress forums separately?

Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

Sure jump into #bbpress on irc.freenode.net

[Stephen Edgar]

If you disable ALL your other WordPress plugins then activate bbPress do you still the 500 error?

[mluther]

bbpress.org/forums/ editor messed up my child sidebar.php code in my previous post. My child sidebar.php code is pasted on http://codetidy.com/3282/

[capsx]

i understand that phpBB truncate those urls

the problem is – BBPRESS CANT SHOW THOSE URLS

WP CAN …

p.s. maybe we can talk in IRC ???

[mluther]

Dear Netweb and all other helpful folks,

I looked in my Child theme’s folder and I have three files in there.

1. footer.php
2. sidebar.php
3. style.css

When I temporarily renamed my Child’s sidebar.php to sidebar.phpTEMPCHANGE, I was able to see the bbpress sidebar.

I remember now why I created a Child sidebar.php file, and it is because I did not want any sidebar to show up when a website visitor uses the search feature. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-and-meta-widgets-show-up-on-search-results-pages for my post and people’s suggestions.

My child’s sidebar.php contains this:

    &lt;!-- https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1383cda0f1903ca0                     'monthly' ) ); ?&gt;                                                                                                                --&gt;    <!-- #secondary .widget-area -->

What can I do to both:

A. Keep the “Login” and “Meta” from showing up in the nonforum pages

AND

B. Make the bbpress sidebar appear?

Thank you!enter code here

Hello,

I’ve spent the last 2 hours reading through all the documentation I can find on this error but have not found any resolution.

PROBLEM

> After installing bbPress from the WordPress plugins menu, I get a 500> Internal Server Error for mysite.com/wp-admin/

If I rename the bbPress folder to bbpress-bak in wp-content/plugins then the error goes away, but I can’t activate bbPress with the folder name changed.

Permissions for bbPress are set to 755 and all php files are at 644. I tried deleting the .htaccess file but it didn’t do anything.

I’d love to use bbPress with my WordPress install, but can’t get it working because of this error.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!-Nick

You will need to copy the templates into a subdirectory of your theme

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[MediaSVI]

I did all that and before I tried anything I watch a Youtube video going over bbpress by Dev4Press.

When I go to make a new Page and select the Templets menu there is no bbpressindex to choose in fact there are no bbpress options to pick?

I am using fresh latest install of WP from GoDaddy, I have “Paid Membership” plugin and and “Simple Local Avatars” and my theme is Responsive.

[tbguitars]

I’m trying to get bbpress to let me use a regular page on my site for the main forums page which I want to populate using the bbpress shortcodes. This is not hard to do, but the issue I’m stuck on is that once you go into the forums the breadcrumbs will only link back to the page with the “Forums” (or whatever you change it to in the settings)slug, and that page works like an archive page and wont let me write anything on it or use shortcodes etc.

I’ve wasted many hours already trying to figure this out, any help would be so much appreciated.

Thanks!

using latest updates of wordpress and bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

Take a look in form-reply.php/form-topic.php/form-forum.php templates.

If your going to edit any of these I suggest you copy them to your theme folder so you don’t edit the core files and will not lose any custumizations you get bbPress updates.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Take a look at https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

And https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

@capsx Those are phpBB ‘magic_url’ and phpBB by default will truncate/shorten all URL’s to 55 characters. It does this so there are not extremely long URL’s in posts. eg. This URL is 63 characters in length, phpBB will leave the ‘href’ in tact but shorten the displayed URL to 55 characters.

<a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a>

phpBB SQL DB stores this in the posts table with the following code

<!-- m --><a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a><!-- m -->

There is more info on ‘magic_url’ here and here.

Thanks for posting your example code above.You may also want to look at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884
