Thank you Spence! This link saved me. I have been trying to get my forums working again after installing BuddyPress and was about to give up. This pointed me in the right direction and taught me a little extra about the layout of pages and shortlinks for wordpress. Perfect! Thanks.

You can make CSS changes inside bbpress.css inside the bbpress plugin.

I suggest getting hold of FireBug for firefox, you can right click on the page and inspect an element to see where you need to edit it.

All the best.

Hey,

I just installed bbPress on my site, http://melbourneskaters.com/forums

But as you can see, the main page is out of alignment for some reason, but it’s fine on other pages. I can’t seem to find where the stylesheet is not sure how to fix this, can anybody shed some light? And lastly, do you guys know where I could change the colour of those header text “Forums””Topics”” and etc that looks invisible.

Thank you for the help.

I’ve had similar issues trying to add pages or post with WP 3.4 and I’m not sure what is going on.

bbpress 2.1-beta1 was also tagged today.

[SK]

Yay! BP 1.6 Beta is out. https://buddypress.org/2012/06/buddypress-1-6-beta-1/

bbp 2.1 Beta can’t be far behind, considering that lots of people have been using 2.1 SVN for a while and the only major pending issue was compatibility with BP 1.6 and that BP 1.6 and bbp 2.1 are supposed to be released at the same time https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/1-6-timelines/

Also, in bbp Trac, the BP compatibility etc. tickets are closed and only 1 ticket remains

Sounds like you’re only overwriting files, and not deleting the directory. Delete the entire /bbpress folder and replace it with the one from Beta 1. Should be good to go from there.

Hi All.

Please see: http://i47.tinypic.com/z6ays.png

I upgraded to 3.4 and now have a strange spacing in the author box.

Stock bbpress plugin with stock template.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

@jjj – When I’m on /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter it shows my database password. Should this be masked?

[Reflecting]

I thought that the latest version of bbPress resolved the issues that cropped up with the WordPress 3.4 upgrade. However, some of the admin on our site are still getting the following out of memory error message when trying to add a new post to our site http://www.optionmillionaires.com

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 15466496) (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/optionmi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-template.php on line 558

At first I wasn’t even able to install bbPress, but our web host increased our memory limit to 64M, and I thought everything was fine. I was able to add the forum, several related bbPress plugins, and have been adding forums and topics today. However, I just got word from two of the admin that they received the above message when attempting to post. It eventually lets them, but there’s obviously something going on. Any ideas on a fix?

[katmmad]

I can create new topics on my development site, but if I click on the link to view the topic it takes me to a 404 page. This happens on the front end (http://dev.corporette.com/boards/) and the back end (if I go to the wpadmin dashboard, click Topics, and then click “view” from the menu for whichever topic.

(Once I create a new topic it also automatically takes me to a 404 page, even though the topic has been successfully created.)

Any idea what’s wrong? Thank you in advance. I’m running WordPress/Genesis/Prose, the bbPress that’s in beta (2.1?) and Buddypress as well. Thank you!

Hi, I am new to both WordPress and BBpress.

I am trying to figure out how to change the page name from “Sample Page” on the forum breadcrumbs(I think that’s what it’s called). I also need to figure out how to stop the forum index page from being named after my MMA/Boxing/Wrestling forum…

I hope you understand what I mean because I really don’t know the proper terms…

If you go to http://www.sportsdebates.net/forums/ you will see what I mean. In your browser tab you will see MMA/Boxing/Wrestling rather than SportsDebates.Net and where it says “Sample Page › Forums” it should say “SportsDebates.Net > Forums”…

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[craftcore]

Hi! I have bbPress as a plugin on WordPress and BuddyPress powered website. On my WordPress I have users set up as Editors, Authors, and Contributors.

For the forum, I’d like editors and authors to also have forum moderation abilities in addition to their preexisting WordPress capabilities. I don’t want them to *just* be moderators.

Is this possible? I looked at the roles documentation, but I can’t figure it out.

Thanks!

to

function bbp_convert_date( $time, $d = ‘G’, $translate = false ) {

but I see no change.

I’m on PST timezone..

thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

Don’t delete anything from the bbPress plugin folder.

Chances are you have a /css/bbpress.css file in your theme. It will now act as the full bbPress theme stylesheet, rather than pulling in two separate files.

Hello!

I am trying to make a theme I use (Magazine Basic) work with bbPress. My problem is, I am not very experienced with PHP coding and all that good stuff.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks!

[automaton]

I’ve noticed that the phrase “Topic Description:” is not present in the list at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default

It is properly localised in the template files (line 82 in form-topic.php) so that’s not the issue.

[trueuser]

ok, now im sick of this.. i have tried like 6h to find a plugin or solution of my problem..

i just want wordpress posts show up as topic in bbpress.

i tried

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

but i get stuck in:

URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

and get

(Not allowed: [WordPress part] Cannot establish connection to bbPress part)

even if i put in the full path to bbwp-sync.php and place the files correctly

…

i even tried

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

but it tells me to find bb-load.php but i cant find it, i even extract the installation zip file and searched for it there but no go..

—

i tried

http://www.generalthreat.com/projects/bbpress-post-topics/

but i cant find the box, so i cant setup how it gonna work.

so.. is there any plugin that allows me to create topic in bbpress automatic from wordpress post OR RSS..?

thanks for reply.

I should mention I have my own child theme that should be overriding everything. Like I said, it works now, but only provided that bbpress.css is deleted from theme-compat.

[iamfantastikate]

I’ve been using the 2.1 releases for a week or so now without much trouble. I upgraded to 2.1-r3967, and I started noticing some design issues. My CSS was no longer being completely recognized; some things were, others weren’t. It seems similar to another issue someone else was having with some template files not being recognized.

I waited a day or two and upgraded to the latest version and was still having this happen. Tried switching between the Twenty Ten and theme compatibility theme packages, and neither really changed the situation. No matter what, the CSS of the theme-compat was being used. Went in and deleted bbpress.css from bbp-theme-compat/css, and it’s fixed the problem entirely. So, something may be up with that, I think.

[All Buns Glazing]

I ended up doing a complete reinstall as it appears bbpress has radically changed its framework and it wasn’t possible to go from version 1x to 2x.

@Hard Seat Sleeper I have the exact same problem as you and have no idea what is wrong! I need to move my standalone bbPress forums to the new plugin version. Tried with the standalone importer but once I click “import” It just goes to a blank screen and doesn’t do anything!
