hi, I am sure, I am not the only one, but I do think ‘Reply” button (and maybe also “quote” button should be added by defult in every post, so users do not have to go to the bottom of the page to reply to given topic,

threaded comments are available in WordPress and it is great feature, so I think it should be nr1 new feature in bbpress 2.2

it is especially useful when replies to a topic take more than one page… especially for new users who never used bbpress.. but different forum software, this would be really great

we are using buddypress forums (after moving from phpbb, and the number of replies is now dramatically lower, because users can’t always find an easy way to reply.. and just give up…

and considering that forums are normally used for “support” – volunteers who would like to reply just give up! 🙁

Solved! – Somehow or another I had the plugin ‘bbPress Threaded Replies” activated. After disabling it the replies appeared under the topics as expected.

I really don’t like the auto-formatting in this bbpress forum demo ><

Hi there,

I am totally new to wordpress and so far bumbling along happily using plugins. I have figured out how to get in via ftp access but haven’t a clue what I am doing there, so talk of editing css/ files/ .php’s etc is way over my head.

I have installed bbpress and am trying to set up the forum so that it runs full width/ no sidebars/ no wordpress widgets. But I cannot get it to do that. I have gone into the easel theme options and turned off sidebars to no avail, it still squishes the forum up in the middle of the page with all the bbpress widgets and options shoved underneath and almost impossible to see.

Can someone please give me an idiot’s guide (VERY simple explanation) of how to get a full width forum on my site please?

[Alexander]

Just to add more info. I can see the reply if I view it by clicking on the provided link from the dashboard. So it seems like the topic and the reply are disconnected.

Also – maybe this information makes any difference, maybe not. I have several forum categories, and then in those categories I have at least one forum. So within one of these forums I have the topics where the replies don’t show up.

I’m using the 2010 bbPress theme in Blogs MU theme.

[Alexander]

I recently started using bbPress in conjunction with BuddyPress on a multisite environment. The issue I’m running into is that the topic replies down show up when I click on the topic. I can see that the topic has a reply from the forum, but when I click on it I just see the screen where I can enter my own reply. Attached is a screenshot. Any idea what this could be?

those was RAW data from MYSQL DB …

i actually DON’T NEED to convert BBCodes – i need original post texts, and that is the problem, cause bbpress converter convert [quote] to DIV

temporary fix was – to get original text from the phpbb_posts table via wp_postmeta key _bbp_post_id

I checked the privileges of the what my subscribers have vs. what bbpress users have, and it matches. I am not sure what the issue is.

[Stephen Edgar]

There are 20,000+ plugins in the WordPress plugin directory alone, at times there will be conflicts.

If you do not specify the exact problems you are having here regarding bbPress or prepared to specify them to the other plugin developers then no developers know of your issues and this indeed comes to mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_a_tree_falls_in_a_forest

[jabbamonkey]

The chance that each plugin happens to do that? And how long til they do? Not a chance.

I just tried Mingle Forum instead, and that works fine with all of my other plugins. Sorry bbpress, but you don’t play nice with others. This is the third site that I tried using bbpress with, and its always been the same issue (but with different plugins).

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look at the raw data in your MySQL database not the rendered HTML output, apart from some ‘line breaks’ (<br />) you will find this data is identical.

phpBBv3: phpbb_posts.post_text   bbPress: wp_posts.post_content 

If you are actually wanting the importer to convert phpBB’s BBCode during import that is being worked on for future versions of bbPress and the import/conversion tool.

Thanks for all the work you do, netweb. I was also happy to see some dude suddenly appeared with a solution to this important feature of stripping bbcode of useless stuff: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

Import Forums -> Select Platform by default is “Example” I think it must NOT be selected by default, because the user may forget to select the right platform – and in that case nothing is going to happen, and user will think that the converter is broken …

i’m using bbpress 2.1.2

[Stephen Edgar]

You would be best to look at WordPress plugins, this is not something that bbPress does.

eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ndizi-project-management/

Or others https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/project-management

Or just search https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

I have tried changing the forums with twenty ten and left it over night. What happens is not every forum changes to that and the side bar becomes moved to the bottom. I wanted to see if I can just make the forums full width to make it more presentable or fully removing the side bar from every page and forum. Thanks for your time and help.

I even added the files from bbpress to the wp-content/themes/bbpress as well. thanks again for your time and help.

[Stephen Edgar]

I suggest you contact each of the plugin developers and ask if they are going to be supporting bbPress in future updates for starters.

I checked all the plugins … There are several that cause the site to break, when used in conjunction with bbpress… They include:

• Redirection
• Search Everything
• The Event Calendar
• WordPress DatabaseBackup

The calendar plugin is very important to the site. Redirection and Search Everything aren’t mandatory, but they are useful. The DB Backup I can do through PHPMyAdmin, so that isn’t important.

Is there a way to get the site working WITH these other plugins?

[Stephen Edgar]

If you deactivate ALL your plugins and then activate bbPress does it still break your site?
