Not only does that not scale, it simply doesn’t work. Better to actually prevent it from getting in, which bbPress 2.1 will do.

Hello,

I have a slightly odd issue — with both Woothemes Canvas 5.05 on and bbpress 2.1 RC4, my forum index page is displayed as a blog archive loop of excerpts (with just one excerpt):

http://www.politepix.com/forums/

There is no page or post that corresponds to this “forums” URL for me to change. How can I get this displaying as a real forum index instead of a loop of excerpts?

Thanks!

since i cant edit my question, is there any documentation for merging function.php and style.css?

i try things to merge but every time wordpress stops working.

[The800]

May i suggest that bbpress.org add a few moderators to the forum. Everytime i have visited this site lately, it has been a jungle of spam on the front page, instead of relevant topics.

i dont use buddypress but i kinda had solved the problem when i moved bbpress theme files to inside my child theme.

i still have a lot to figure out but i suggest instead of using shortcodes, move to theme files

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility in here it says how to do.

now i have access to all links.

I’m using WordPress 3.4.1. and bbPress 2.0.3. I have two small issues. The first one is when someone signs up to the forum, the link in the email is to the admin wordpress control panel and I can’t figure out how to change it. The other one is that when a user puts in the wrong username/password it redirects them to the wordpress admin control panel also, which can cause a lot of issues. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix these problems? Thank you.

@Jaja..

The changelog can always be found in the readme.txt file in the plugin folder.

[Anonymous User 5853594]

The easiest way is with using FTP.

-Download the RC package and unpack it locally.

-Delete the content of the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ folder.

-Upload the files into the /bbpress/ folder.

A regular upgrade does this automatically (or very similarly), so it shouldn’t break anything.

If all the files have been updated, you’ll be able to see in the Dashboard that you’re got the new version.

Please backup your database and remember to disable the plugin before removing and replacing the files. (Although I never do this, it is good practice…)

It was a dumb mistake – but I thought I would post this if anyone is ever in my same spot.

This was very helpful:

http://perishablepress.com/quickly-disable-or-enable-all-wordpress-plugins-via-the-database/

However – since I had already turned all my plugins off I was out of luck for backing them up first!

What I did was phpmyadmin into one of my other sites running bbPress and copied its active_topics tab le contents – then pasted into the site that was not working. It was enough to get me back into admin and reactive my plugins.

[AAShepAA]

John – I went in and disabled plugins one-by-one to no av avail. Then I made a dumb mistake and deactivated ALL my plugind and now I can’t get back into the site. I had my forums set as the main page ;(

Can I use PHPMyAdmin to reset those or at least bbPress? If so – where?

Thanks again

[John James Jacoby]

You assumed wrong. That’s okay, because next you need to figure out which plugin isn’t working correctly by deactivating them one at a time and seeing which one stops the bad stuff from happening.

I have a hunch it’s the bbPress Admin Bar Addition one.

Ultimately, you just need to open the hood and start tinkering.

[AAShepAA]

Thanks John..

I am assuming you are referring to my bbPress plugins?? They are:

bbPress2 BBCode

bbPress Admin Bar Addition (Had to do this to even have access to admin)

bbPress Moderation

bbPress New Topic Notifications

bbPress Post Toolbar

bbPress Quotes

bbP Signatures

Again, I appreciate your help.

[AAShepAA]

Latest bbPress also and the broken links are in the left-side maim admin menu. I will need to get home to list plugins..

[John James Jacoby]

What version of bbPress? And where are these incorrect links located? What plugins other than bbPress are you running?

[John James Jacoby]

This felt like a bug to me, either in bbPress or some other thing, so I created a ticket and fixed it right away for bbPress 2.1.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1887

Users with accounts should almost always have the ‘read’ capability. If they lost it somehow, it seems like it’s because something interfered with it.

[rr03]

before your answer i just added all bbpress theme files except style.css and function.php anda also added necessary line.

it seems allright but to make it right what steps should i take?

delete current version and start to use 2.1,

re-add the files on child theme then?

[John James Jacoby]

In bbPress 2.1, functions.php is replaced with bbpress-functions.php in your theme, to avoid the conflict.

[Skyforger]

is that just a formatting issue u want it to be vertical listing instead of horizontal ?

Also check this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-set-up-bbpress-and-buddypress?replies=12#post-92559

Dude is saying not to install bbpress throe buddypress but as separate from plugins list.

[rr03]

also function.php exists both at child theme and bbpress files. what sould i do?

(i created child theme with all the main theme files exists)

[rr03]

ok, i made the child theme. and i want to copy bbpress files but there is also one style.css file. should i copy that to the child theme?

[firebird2110]

Solution! Install ‘User Role Editor’ and set ‘read’ for Forum Participants.

Thanks farinspace and Themes Support

[rr03]

i start to build child theme now to copy the theme files of bbpress. hope that helps.

did you try what i wrote skyforger?

“i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it.”

[rr03]

i am still at bbpress:) so anyone has any suggestions for the problem?

[DevenD]

Interesting… It was working PERFECTLY with my theme prior. I’m using bbpress 2.0.3 and BuddyPress 1.5.6

[John James Jacoby]

Looks like your theme doesn’t allow for bbPress to work correctly. What versions of BuddyPress and bbPress are you using?
