Good morning,

I’m using bbPress 2.1 and Buddypress 1.6 to create groups and group forums within.

My problem is the ‘Edit’ link in the group forum posts don’t seem to work.

When I click the edit link for a post, it goes to http://www.example.com/groups/mygroup/forums/topic/reply-to-mytopic/edit/, which is a ‘create new topic’ page. There is no reply form, with the text for that post, that appears.

I also have the same problem with the ‘Split’ link not working either. ‘Trash’ and ‘Spam’ work fine. The only bbPress plugin I’m using is the bbPressModeration plugin.

The correct links indeed are /wp-admin/edit.hp?post_type=forum etc, do you see the same behavior with all other plugins disabled except bbPress?

— ‘Topics Replied To’ User Profile Empty?

I don’t have or see a ‘Topics Replied To’ section under eg. /users/username, only ‘Subscribed Forum Topics’, ‘Favorite Forum Topics’ & ‘Forum Topics Created’…

— The ‘recent replies’ widget indeed in the old version did include recent topics in its output. Much of the widget query code has been rewritten so I would say now that the widget works as per design 🙂

I have created a ticket to enhance some of the widget options, if you have anything to add, please do.

Me and the guys here also have the same problem, did you get it working? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-title/#post-115254

[AAShepAA]

John – you are a prince among men 🙂 !

That solved “almost” everything. I still have a “Forums”, “Topics” and “Replies on the admin bar that tell me I don’t have the correct permissions and the have me going here respectively: http://www.stratoliner.me/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=forum – http://www.stratoliner.me/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=topic – and http://www.stratoliner.me/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=reply.

However I have a plugin called “bbPress Admin Bar Addition” that works and it send me to these links:
http://www.stratoliner.me/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum –
http://www.stratoliner.me/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic – and
http://www.stratoliner.me/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

I am almost there 🙂 – BTW if you know the tables I can delete from the old stand-alone install that would be cool also.

You should be good to go by removing ‘clear: both;’ on line 15 of the bbPress CSS file

Possible your server time is set incorrectly? That might cause the calculation between current_time() and the users last_active time to have a gap? Though, it probably is a deeper issue than this – could even be a bbPress GMT bug.

Ok, a litle more info:

I run a bbPress + BuddyPress installation. And I put that function in the functions.php file of my WordPress theme.

It would remove the widgets inside. If needed you could remove the rest of the / entire sidebar with CSS. The advantage over a simple CSS hide is the fact that less code gets written to the browser / less code to download for the user.

Aside from that I use it to put the login widget at the top of the forums (with CSS) and remove all the other widgets.

BTW I have disabled all plugins except for the bbpress plugin and our membership software so we can rule out most possible plugin conflicts as well.

Hi,

Ever since updating to the latest bbpress plugin when users or admins try to post a new topic or reply to a topic we get the error “Slow down; you move too fast.” I’ve looked at other posts on this forum having the same issue but did not find anything that helped me.

Also this problem happens any time anyone posts. It is not the result of someone trying to post too much too quickly. Throttle time is set for 10 seconds. And when I try to change the throttle time it reverts back to 10 seconds. Maybe that’s a clue as to what the problem is?

Just to sum up:
The issue exists for all users and admins.
The issue happens for all posts – a person cannot be throttled because they haven’t succeeded in making one post.
The problem happened only after updating bbpress but not before.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Rodney

Thanks yes i noticed and i answered my own question with text editor for comments lol. Disqus worked fine but the text for comments editor was also in the bbpress forums when i activated it. Thanks i really am looking forward to it.:)

[John James Jacoby]

BuddyPress Group Forums will eventually be migrated to use bbPress 2, which means they will inherit all of the goodies your site wide forums have, including the fancy editor.

Disqus commenting in your blog should not be affected.

@pimarts
If you have a sidebar container does that function remove that aswell or just the widgets inside it?

[John James Jacoby]

Yes, many people have done this successfully.

bbp-theme-compat isn’t a complete theme; it says so in the files and in the documentation. I’d recommend trying the instructions again. If you’ve tried them enough times and still can’t figure it out, I’d love to know which points we can clarify for you further. The general “it’s broke and ugly and help” isn’t indicative to us where you need our help.

[Nate]

pimarts,

if that’s the case, that must be the easiest solution yet — but where does it go, exactly? I’ve placed it in the bbpress childtheme with no luck. is it in the core?

thanks!

[PaulieP]

Havent found definitive answers anywhere since most everyone who has tried to install a bbPress theme to a current version of the bbPress plugin for WP has discovered that the stock instructions on the bbPress.org wiki and elsewhere are outdated/wrong. If you are not using stock TwentyTen as your parent theme, bbPress theming is broken out of the box – you get a theme broken/not installed message from your admin panel.

When bbPress thusly reverts to its stock look it’s ugly, unusable, and broken. Currently my forums at txmma.com/forum do not work properly as a result. when you drill down and actually try to read a topic you cannot. no content comes up. That’s outside of the fact that aesthetically there’s nothing there you would want to use.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed a third party bbPress theme or rolled their own, with the plugin version of bbPress, when using a custom WordPress theme (i.e. not TwentyTen).

Copying the theme files as directed in the bbPress.org instructions is useless as many have discovered.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

[Lynq]

Reading?!? What is this new fad you speak of :p

I had the “Magazine Basic” functions.php file like: thus ending the functions before the bbPress functions came in.

[John James Jacoby]

Doesn’t really make much sense. Can you explain exactly why you needed to modify bbPress files? A Subversion diff would be even better.

[Lynq]

@Erlend is chrome 21 a beta version? If it is then I won’t be testing on that until it is fully released.

@Jaredatch I did a lot of customization, but the big thing I did was setup my own function inside the bbpress_functions.php – It is basically the same as the bbp_list_forums but it has a flag for freshness_block which then calls my last_poster block function.

It is pretty awesome, I could put something up even more detailed if people would like.

[pimarts]

Thanks for including SWNK in the examples list!

Makes me want to look into making a custom theme and improve it. All the changes made at the moment are through CSS and functions.php 😉

[pimarts]

I posted this in another topic, this works for me:

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

But that’s because I haven’t looked into custom themes yet. Did everything with functions and CSS at the moment.

JJJ,

Is it not possible to copy the “bbp-theme-compat” theme, removing the sidebars there, and then uploading it as a child theme? I like the default style and just want to remove the sidebars without reworking the entire “bbp-twentyten” CSS.

If so, how/where would I tweak bbp-theme-compat theme to remove the sidebars?

Seems to me removing sidebars should be an option in the bbPress admin no?

[Pinhead149]

thanks for your response
i will wait for 2.2! the reason why i still using 2.0.2 is that [bbp-single-forum id=***] not working in 2.1 for me 🙁

hope that works in 2.2
