HiMy WP theme format is broken after updating to latest version of bbPress plugin.Can anyone help me fix it please?WP site:http://richard-dickinson.com/Most grateful for helpful replies(see also this post:http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-462?replies=15 )Thanks
Don’t copy any templates into any of the bbPress plugin folders (/wp-content/plugins/bbpress)
The details of what to do are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
I found out something about the new posts feature–it is built into PunBB, which seems to be an alternative to BBPress. Probably useless information 🙁
@DevArthran There has since been another update and unless you downloaded the version you are using from the ‘SVN Trunk’ you wont have the latest patches.
You can download an updated version of bbp-user-functions.php (4141) which has worked for a few others it will be in the next update of bbPress.
It would also be great to get some feedback on the vBulletin import as we have had very little feedback thus far from anyone migrating from vBulletin to bbPress.
I can confirm with 2.12 it still doesnt work. Fresh install from the plugin directory. Imported from vBulletin and then when a user logs in the following error is given:
Warning: require_once(bbp-converter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/devnet/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘bbp-converter.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/devnet/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466
Doing investigation, seems that line 1466 which is:require_once( bbpress()->admin->admin_dir . ‘bbp-converter.php’ ); Is getting confused at the locations?
Ok, so im not much into reworking css and all that.but i have this wordpress site, and added BBPress to it.the plugin works pretty well, except for the Colors.as i have white writing on the page, and BBPress makes a white background, no matter what i change in my normal theme.
so i thought i would add a template to use instead… but cant get this to work.Added the template files to wp->plugins->bbpress->my-templates
so could anyone give a noob freindly guide on have to make it work?
I made sure that index.php was chosen as wrapper in bbpress WP tweaks setting(screenshot here).
I added some bbpress widgets into the bbpress sidebar(screenshot here).
But I still don’t see any widgets or sidebars on any page on our website (screenshot here).

Bumping for proper attention
How about starting with the documentation? Still missing the installation instructions…
Go into ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ settings /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress-wp-tweaks and change the ‘Default forum wrapper’ to ‘index.php’ (it should be in bold text)
Awesome work, looks great 🙂
netweb,I installed and activated bbpress-wp-tweaks. I then added “bbPress Login Widget” into the bbpress sidebar. But i still don’t see it on any of my forum pages.
So, in the hope of simplifying my problem, I am willing to have Login and Register links on all of my website — both forum pages and nonforum pages.
But how can I make a regular sidebar appear in the forum pages?
🙁
It’s been 24 hours, so I’m gonna bump. From what I know about past experience, I’m allowed to do that.
Maybe I haven’t been clear about my question– I’m looking for the best way to edit theme files and keep my changes after an update. Should be common knowledge, but the new documentation layout is confusing. I can’t find anything on theme compatibility or WordPress themes taking over bbPress template files…
What do you have the ‘Forums Base’ slug set to and is the ‘Forum Prefix’ checked?(/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress)
Have a look at this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/
It will give you a different sidebar whenever someone is on a forums page and you can populate it with whatever widgets you need.
When I activate BBPress, every page of my site shows a message similar to (the only difference is the URL of the page I am trying to get to):
> The website encountered an error while retrieving> http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php. It may be down for> maintenance or configured incorrectly.
If I deactivate BBPress (by renaming the directory – because every page of my site gets the error above), then deactivate each of the plugins, and then reactivate BBPress … then BBPress works.
The moment I try to reactivate one of the other plugins, it breaks again.
If you aren’t getting the error … could it be a template issue (I wouldn’t think so)?Or, could it be something server-based, with the webhost?
DNBrawler,
Thanks for your reply.
I dragged and dropped the bbPress login widget to the Main Sidebar. But I don’t see the login widget on a non-forum page or on a forum page.
What I want people on our site is this:For those who are not logged in, I want them to see “Login” and “Register” on any forum page they visit. When someone clicks “Login” they are taken to a page which asks for their username and password. After successfully logging in, the user is taken back to page on which they clicked “Login”. For someone who clicks “Register”, I want them to be taken to a page that asks them for their desired username, desired password, and email address. I don’t mind if “Login” and “Register” links are not visible on our non-forum pages.
What’s the best and most newbie-friendly way of accomplishing what I envision?
OK, I’m with you now, are you going to use a BBCode plugin for bbPress to render the HTML output?
I have just started working on a patch to add CSS for bbcode_quote, bbcode_quote_head, bbcode_quote_body and a few of the other CSS classes that are are parsed with bbp-parser.php
Wordpress version: 3.4.1bbPress version: 2.1.2
How can our forum visitors register and log in to our forum?
I’ve just installed bbPress on my WordPress-powered website. I opened up an incognito window in Chrome to simulate a visitor to our site. I went to http://ourwebsite.com/forums/. I don’t see any place where people can register a new forum account or log in.
I clicked on the one forum we created called “General” (http://ourwebsite.com/forums/forum/general/), and I still do not see any place where someone can register or log in.
Must I install some plugin or extension?
Please help.
I’ve spent days on this too, and although this topic didn’t help. it’s one i came across in my search, so thought i’d update with what worked for me.
I think it’s now quite simple, but very unintuitive. Hopefully my explanation works for you guys too.
IT’S NOT IN THE BBPRESS.CSS file! Arghhhhhhh
Firstly, I started using chrome instead of iexplore/firefox. Using this I navigated to the topic/reply box that wasn’t letting me see the text, right click, and select inspect element. The box at the bottom, and to the right, can then help you identify where it’s picking up styles from. You should see a section at the bottom saying matched styles, in my case ‘content.css’
If you hover over the style name (content.css for me) it should show you the location file and the section of code you need to change
The file I needed to amend was http://www.your_website_here.co.uk/wordpress/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/wp_theme/content.css
And I just changed the section below, where color: #fff was previously different
body { font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, “Bitstream Charter”, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; color: #fff; margin: 10px; min-height: 100%;}
I really hope this method helps others, as it’s been getting right on my nerves
I’m having the same issue. I see two conflicting instructions for theming:
This page shows to make your own template within /my-templates/your-theme/. This page shows to put it in your wordpress theme folder: /themes/your-theme/bbpress/bbpress-files.php. So which is it?
Nevertheless, I tried doing it both ways, and neither show in the dropdown in forum settings. I tried copying the theme-compat theme in order to customize bbpress.
Can someone help, please?
Based on twentyten template with BBPress 2.0 with tons of customization, design and more then 2 months of hard work, I give you the on{X} forum.
Some of the key features including:
- Custom forum landing page.
- Custom subscribe button.
- Custom user page with unsubscribe.
- Voting.
- Custom editor.
- And much much more.
This shows that BBPress is a well rounded forum solution, capable of almost anything.
Hope you like it,
Roni.
Easy.Download a plugin called GD BBpress Tools. It will add a quote link to every post, when clicked it will send the user to the bottom of the page to reply to the post.
