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.

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?

[John James Jacoby]

Reading is good.

[John James Jacoby]

The functions to incorporate this are in, but the counts themselves are not actually bumped yet. This is something we’re going to finish in 2.2.

Hi can you tell me whats the best way to rollback to a previous version of bbPress please?

I need to reinstall v2.0.3 from v2.1.

Thank you!

Oh wow umm,

It looks as though there isn’t a lot of styling going on for your forum.

Where did you get your bbpress.css file from? It looks really short compared the one I got originally.

BUMP
Does anyone have an answer for varying the number of topics for a given page?

[Jared Atchison]

The plugin page will get archived, it’s on the list.

I had just gotten bbPress 2.0 to play nicely with Magazine Basic… Now, nothing works.

Help?

Little background will help:

I started with a standalone version of bbPress, deeply integrated. I have made each and every update to WordPress and bbPress, now on current versions. I have other sites with WordPress and bbPress but this is the only one that is quirky and the only one that was standalone.

The issue: several plugins I install will not give me access to their admin/configuration page. Site says I do not have proper permissions. I have tried deactivating all plugins and only activating one of the problem plugins to no avail. I still cannot get access to its settings. I am at a loss. Too many users to start over.

Lastly. Is there a list of things I can delete from the old standalone installation? Tables from the database??

Thanks for any help.

Wanted to let you know that bbpress profiles, forums and topics CAN be secured. After searching for the solution I found it today. Using the WPMU Membership Premium Plugin I could secure the site by using/blocking URL groups and regular expressions.

I also learned that bbpress is a very good forum, but it is meant to be used as a public forum and therefore I couldn’t expect to be able to secure it from within bbpress. I was thrilled to find out that the membership plugin by WPMU is versatile enough to effectively secure bbpress behind a single login.

I am having some trouble with the layout of my forum. Once I add the shortcode to a new page the layout goes very strange. I have tried going to full-width with no result.
I am using custom community theme. My buddypress, wordpress, and bbpress are fully updated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Still won’t work.

I went back to the twentyten theme for further testing and found that after removing the entire bbpress-functions file the quoting feature still worked. So my problem from what I perceive isn’t in the functions? Now I’m confused.
I’m going to take a fresh GD BBpress tools plugin download again and see if that works.

[Lynq]

What happens if you remove that? (copying it so you can easily put it back afterwards).

[DNBrawler]

It’s calling JQuery scripts–the only one I could find is this one:wp_enqueue_script( 'bp-js', BP_PLUGIN_URL . '/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
I tried to implement the topic.js many times It’s just not working :/

[AAShepAA]

I am owner/Admin, but I cannot post a topic. bbPress says I do not have permission to do so. I also signed in as a test user and still not able to post.

I have made sure I turned off all plugins to test. Then turned back on only a few. I have checked and made sure that “Member” is the default “registered user” and the the Member profile had post topic capabilities still no go..

I switched to default 2010 theme ands still a no go – I am in but forum says I am logged out. In each theme – the login does not show me as Admin or Owner.

My traffic has slowed way down because of this and I just found it! Still have lots of people signing up but it appears that no one can post. I suspect user roles issue, but I have changed everyone to “Member” and still a no go.

I am desperate! Any help is appreciated. Shep

@Jeaz

Or at the very least when you arrive at the plugins page ask the user do you wish to view bbPress 2.xx or bbPress 1.xx plugins, then direct them to the correct place.

I think this would be great.

Hey,

I really like the remake and update, but please, it’s time to retire the old plugin repository. Not maybe retire it entirely, but it shouldn’t be the more promoted option over the 2.x one. The plugin link above should lead to the WordPress bbpress section or something like that, and have a link to the old repository from there, not the other way around. It’s time to move forward and stop confusing new users.

Hi all, let me report on my progess.:-) I started with copying the “page-front-forums.php” from /extras to wp-content/MYTHEME directory and this decision was probably wrong. Reason? Other files are working fine in MYTHEME directory so far but page-front-forums.php is not working. I do not know why but I have found that someone had similar issue before: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-does-not-show-list-of-all-forums-2/. But I do not like the solution presented.

[Lynq]

Is your theme functions.php file calling any javascript files?
