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

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.”
i am still at bbpress:) so anyone has any suggestions for the problem?
Interesting… It was working PERFECTLY with my theme prior. I’m using bbpress 2.0.3 and BuddyPress 1.5.6
Looks like your theme doesn’t allow for bbPress to work correctly. What versions of BuddyPress and bbPress are you using?
I need a bbpress plugin in which i can define q & a and users have to fill it before posting new topics and replies.
up till now i haven’t found any plugin which can fulfill this requirement. Is there any way to implement this? I know little bit of coding also, if needed
Thanks
Firsh read this article: https://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
Need a child theme without code? This plugin can do for you: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-click-child-theme/
Now on child theme create a file call bbpress.php
Code example:
<?php
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'bb' ); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
– Duplicate page.php on your theme and rename it to content-bb.php
– bbPress call content-bb.php so you can customize for anything you want!
Hope this help!
Yeah ! Well done Lynq !
I added add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); a the end of my theme functions file and I don’t have the warning anymore.
Now I hope bbPress plugin works correctly.
Thank you
PS: I can’t close this topic because I didn’t start it…
I had trouble with forum linking when installed on a Multi-Site Network until I set the slug for the forum.
The permalink created was wrong as it was not inserting any slug to identify the forum.
Since upgrading WP (3.4.1) my forum users can’t edit their profiles. They get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”. bbPress is version 2.0.3. I’ve got the Simple Local Avatars plugin installed and have tried deactivating that but it made no difference. That’s really it, nothing changed except the WP upgrade. It’s a bit of a pain because my users like changing their avatars frequently.
If you are checking that you are on the current page should it be
is_page('126')
and not
!is_page('126')
Or am I not getting what is going on?
Try adding in: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); into your theme functions file.
Good luck!
Hi, thanks for your responses.
@Lynq : on line 357 I have :
356: if ( ‘bbPress’ == get_class( $bbp ) ) {
357: $bbp->theme_compat->theme = new BBP_Twenty_Ten();
358: }
I didn’t understand what it does exactly.
@Aadhaar Card : I have tested about twenty theme, for all I have the first error : Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84
The second error occur only when I use the “bbPress (Twenty Ten)”.
On line 84 I have : $bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;
Maybe the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); is missing anywhere… But I don’t know where…
Hey,
The BBpress forum I have is up and running but I’m having a problem having it fit the whole page. For some reason the page is centered and I can’t find a way to fix it…
here is the page: http://standforstrength.com/forum/
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Hi guys, I have a very strange problem with widget logic and bbpress.
I created a normal page (post id = 126) and added the shortcode: [bbp-topic-index] .
I now wish to not show any of my widgets on this particular page by using !is_page(‘126’) however this just doesnt work!
I try it on other normal pages containing text and no forum shortcodes and everything works!
hello everyone my name is jake, im using buddypress w/th bbpress i have everything almost ready to go. now i have the site-wide forums setup and i cant post in new forums created. any clue why?
http://dodgedartz.com/forum/news-2/
well I do not think so. Is there any better solution?
Jarret
my permalinks set up is restinerest.com/the.title.of.page
i refreshed permalinks sections after i set bbpress up as it is suggested.
i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it. but then i had this problem:
i had two categories and each have two forums. at this new page it is shown
http://www.restinerest.com/forumd/ this is the page.
category1
forum1(0,0) forum2 (0,0)
category2
forum3(0,0) forum4 (0,0)
and i wanted that forums would be shown as one under the other one.
so do i have the theme compatibility problem or any other thing?
and why cant i reach restinerest.com/forumlar or restinerest.com/forumlar/forum even though i set the slugs up?
any help will be appreciated.
Which theme are you using and do you have any other plugins installed? A default bbPress install along with one of the default themes (Twentyten/Twentyeleven) shouldn’t have this issue.
comerecommended – did you activate the bbpress plugin? I tried visiting both
http://comerecommended.com/community/forum
http://comerecommended.com/community/forums
and each time get an error saying the forums component isn’t setup yet.
If you visit a user’s profile you should be able to see a list of Subscribed forums, Favorite forums and Forum Topics created.
For instance on my local install, I can go to http://localhost/bbpress/users/admin and it shows me a list.
I am having a similar problem. I’m using BuddyPress, and I want a sitewide forum (instead of forums tied to groups). I installed the bbpress it told me to (I guess it’s bbpress Community?), but I can’t figure out where the heck my forums are! I can’t seem to tie BuddyPress Forums to bbpress Community.
I have a clean WordPress install and the bbPress plugin.. I’ve created a new forum and topic.. But I want this forum to be my whole site.. Like I want my pages to be different pages of the forum.. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks!
