I was expecting there to be some theme elements out of the box. Did I miss something, or do I have to do all the CSS myself?

We have turnkey child-themes that make it simple to get bbPress, BuddyPress and WooCommerce running beautifully on your site. If you want some help, drop us a line at help@labsecrets.com.

It is possible, with some CSS and minor PHP experience, to make bbPress look great on just about every theme

Cheers!

We’ve had success with making bbPress look great via child themes across a wide variety of Responsive Theme Designs.

Our most popular, of course, are based on Emil Uzelac’s “Responsive” theme (the #1 downloaded theme in WP repository), but it also works great with all of the WooThemes, Elegant Themes, and others.

You can see a sampling (with demos) here: http://labzip.com/product-category/themes/responsive-designs/

If you have any questions on how to make it happen, reach us at help@labsecrets.com

Cheers!

@aadhaar,

I cannot locate the plugin option section, so it is impossible to click add new plugin.

I operate a free blog, could it be this is not an option available to those with a free blog?

Thanks for all the replies and assistance,

It might need some additional CSS to make it actually look the part, but it should look *okay* enough to start.

[xmasons]

Yes, certainly, bbPress works well in responsive themes. An example is the Skeleton theme: http://demos.simplethemes.com/skeleton/

Saw you created a ticket on trac; thanks!

I tested on Chrome 20 and Aurora (Firefox 15) and it works for me.

Most likely a JS error, or some other conflict. Marking as resolved, since it works by itself.

bbPress layouts call style.css so your theme is responsive then bbPress too

[tulisan]

Is BBpress responsive? Can I use it with a theme that uses Adaptive/Responsive design?

[AAShepAA]

I had the same issue – just with another plugin. Glad you got it working.

[topherb]

Looks like it is just an issue with WP’s fancy editor. Disabled that option and I can see the text input just fine.

[html_guru]

I’m having the same problem. I copied the contents of the “bbp-theme-compat” folder into a “bbpress” folder in my theme, just like the instructions said, but none of the changes I make take effect. Am I missing something? Is this a common problem?

[Zephyr]

I really hate bumping this topic and apologize ahead of time…

I have read everything I can find regarding getting bbPress’s theme to match my current WP theme. Nothing works…no matter what I do the forum/topic table rows stay white, only the font colors change when I tweak the WP theme’s settings.

Again, all I’m after is the cosmetics…going with dark table and topic row backgrounds, etc.

Do I just edit the bbPress CSS to achieve this?

Thanks Again,

~ Alisa

I probably should also note this occurs for me both in Chrome 20.0.1132.47 beta-m and Firefox 12.0.

I have a fresh blog install of 3.4.1 and a fresh install of bbPress 2.1 RC2. I created a test forum and I see this when I’m typing up a forum post.

As you can see the text is there once I publish the post, but the input is invisible. That occurs for me when using either the visible or HTML editor.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I’m using the standalone bbpress 1.1. I want to make a little modification to hide the thread replies from the non-logged users. So, the non-logged users can see only the very first post but can not see the replies to the topic. How can I do that?

I tried to remove following from the topic.php file in the theme, but it removes the first post as well. I’ll appreciate any help.

Code:

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>
<li id=”post-<?php post_id(); ?>”<?php alt_class(‘post’, $del_class); ?>>
<?php bb_post_template(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

By the way, I have 3 forums in my bbPress and they are all set to ‘Public’ (but the page where the forums are embedded is only visible and accessible for logged in users).

[rvlak]

I keep having a problem within my bbPress forums: when a registered user posts a new topic or reply, it does not show up immediately or not for all users:

– In some cases the new topic or reply only shows up the next day, in other cases after half an hour, it’s completely unpredictable.

– Sometimes user X can see the latest addition, while user Y (with exactly the same role / rights) can not see it.

– Some new replies do not even show up in my WP-admin dashboard.

– The freshness displayed in the frontend is lagging very much behind.

I have tried various things that I found in related support calls:

– Recount – no effect

– (re)Save permalinks settings and bbPress settings

– Disable Akismet – no effect

– Deactivate and reactivate bbPress – no effect

– Deleting the entire forum and creating a new one – no effect

I am using WordPress 3.4.1 and bbPress 2.0.3 in conjunction with the Twenty Eleven theme. The problem occurred also in earlier versions of WordPress by the way.

Does anybody have a clue how to resolve this? I am at the end of my wits…

[Alexey]

Hi, withoutink!

Which tool did you use to convert ipb forum to bbPress?

[tungdo]

Inside the bbPress 2.1 twentytwen theme, there’s a new file single-forum-edit.php, but I don’t see it used or referenced anywhere else.

When editing forums, we are using the WordPress admin ui so is this file necessary?

p.s. – same goes for feedback-no-replies in bbp-twentyten/bbpress/

[Le Duy Quang]

Options didn’t allow to do that. “Fancy editor” disable rick bbpress tinymce.

It wasn’t working because of BuddyPress.

[fmk]

Unable to activate bbPress V-2.0.3.

System Info-

WP 3.4.1

bbPress V-2.0.3

BuddyPress Version 1.5.6

Theme = Simple WP Community Theme Version 1.6. or BuddyPress Default Version 1.5.6

I receive the below error as soon as I try to activate the plug-in:

Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://thetechnerds.khanz.net/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

Here are some suggestions:

Reload this webpage later.

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

The main website opens but wp-admin area keeps showing the above error. I have to rename/remove the plugin folder through FTP to be able to get back on the Dashboard. When I am able to access Dashboard the below error appears

“The plugin bbpress/bbpress.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.”

I have confirmed that the file is there. Used auto-installation as well as manual upload of plug-in files, but no luck.

Please suggest.
