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.:)

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.

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!

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.

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

[Erlend]

Any further thoughts on my styling points?

I also made a few more edits to the examples page. The WPMU forum is apparently still running on the stand-alone bbPress, so I had to remove it (for now). Kudos to ck for making the top100 for the legacy bbPress forum.

hi all,

quick question. using content-aware sidebar, which seems to work well … except on the user page, where they can view/edit profile (/forums/users/), as well as the ‘tagged’ pages (/forums/topic-tag).

if its all the same, can i just remove the sidebar from those pages? in future releases, will there be any option to determine bbpress sidebars? it just seems relatively fundamental to determine what appears on a forum. thoughts/advice?

thanks!

Hi everyone

I used to have SMF installed (still does, closed it for “maintenance”). Installed the latest bbPress and WordPress 3.4.1

The forum seems to work fine, I cna post and see all posts when Im logged in as the administrator. I created a new common user and created a post but when not logged in or logged in as the new user (test) the post is gone (404. The requested page was not found).

I also have the stream as a widget and I can see the post and read it when Im logged in as admin but otherwise it’s gone.

I have been fiddling some with the slug names but I cannot see how that would mess things up (Forums base = forum and Forum slug = forums). I’d like to have the forum url to be mysite.pp.se/forum (tyrell-corporation.pp.se is my domain).

All help is appreciated

Hello all,

It’s been a while since I’ve used bbPress. I’m attempting to use v2.1 on a WordPress site with a custom template. However, when using bbp-theme-compat, the forum appears BELOW the sidebars. If I switch to twentyten, it appears ABOVE the sidebars.

http://www.wvko1580.com/forums/

Is this just a simple CSS tweak or do I need to try something else? Thanks!

Keith

Oh! I was able to figure out what was wrong. All I needed to do was move:

?>

to the bottom of the bbPress settings.

Privacy and security are two very different things. bbPress is meant to be whatever you need it to be, by playing nicely with other plugins.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress overrides a few things to tell WordPress not to 404, but sometimes themes run extra queries that stomp what bbPress does. In that case, the theme is probably doing it wrong. What theme are you using?
