Hi there,

Wondering how you themers are approaching mobile design for forums.

Any tips/tricks? Have you done any cool swiping navigation to cycle through forums?

Are there any apps that are compatible with bbpress that help reading on a phone or tablet?

I’d love to see any examples of what you guys are working on!

Thanks!

Nice-thanks for sharing.

For myself I have had major issues trying to run BuddyPress/bbPress on my blog and yet still I want to try bbPress forum plugin on another WordPress site of mine. Viewing yours is a help-I may have to look at your css styling & I certainly will want to look at what plugins will help run bbPress forum.

Thanks & best wishes (enjoy your minecrafting!!it’ll never beat chess lol!)

Hi again,

that issue is solved as one of the WPMUdev staff developer solved the issue on their plugin, they added

global $wp_query;

to a function

and replaced :

get_queried_object_id()

with :

$wp_query->queried_object_id

in the same function

(WPMUdev is going to release an update of the Pro Sites plugin I guess, for details, see this topic’s comment http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/pro-sites-incompatibility-with-bbpress?replies=15#post-234125)

I come back here to inform about it, in case someone else encounter the same issue (I saw a lot of “page not found” issues while searching BBPress forums), then it would maybe help to see which kind of code made conflict?

(I don’t know, I’m not a coder)

of course I still do not understand purely on BBPress how is it possible to have 2 possible permalinks for 1 subforum

either : example.com/forums/forum/level1/level2

or : example.com/forums/forum/level2

both url work, and this is not standard I think, anyway…

in any case, this issue is solved for me

I’m new to bbpress, but I’ve read alot of posts on how to make my theme compatible with it. After reading this post http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/active-theme-does-not-include-bbpress-template-files I thought that this message would go away with the 2.03 version, but I guess they are referring to 2.1

In my theme I have a bbpress.php file and about 100 lines of CSS and my forums look fine.

I don’t want to add a bunch of template files in my theme just to remove a warning message for a plugin, when adding the one file I have and some CSS make it look the way I want.

I released a child theme and included the bbpress.php with it and I’m getting emails everyday asking what’s up with the warning message. It’s nice to have bbpress match my theme, but it’s getting to the point that it’s not worth the hassle.

How can I remove or hide this message without adding so many extra template files?

[Marcoz]

I found that, even though registration is allowed in my WordPress installation plus bbPress, that registration is hidden until a user enters some bogus information into the login widget and clicks login. They then get the error page and a chance to register.

Same seems to be true for password change possibility. It’s nowhere to be found. Or do I need a plugin for those things indeed?

Hi,

I’ll be upfront: I use and develop sites on the Thesis theme; I’m not asking for support on that theme, I’ve actually developed a plugin to apply the bbPress templates in the Thesis theme properly, so I have it working fine (details of that are in the Thesis forum, so anyone looking for that can look there).

Now I’m wondering why the templates don’t get applied automatically… can you tell me which functions and which files handle the application of forum templates within a theme? I’ve tried to skim through the bbPress files and look for the handlers, but it’s quite laborious. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!

If it’s any help, I think the main difference between Thesis and other themes in terms of replacing content is that Thesis handles all the different page contents in a PHP class, so there’s only one index.php, and no other template files related to page types except for page templates. To alter the whole page contents in Thesis you append a new class to the original loop class, or uses hooks to insert content in certain places. I can’t tell what method bbPress uses to override the content on forum pages, it’s a little confusing to me because not all bbPress theme files have headers or footers, so they’re not whole like whole template files.

Any guidance as to where I should examine these files for the template handlers so that I can try to troubleshoot the source of the incompatibility would be much appreciated.

BTW this is how the code of loop looks like:

query_posts("paged=$paged");



while (have_posts()) : the_post();

?>

<div <?php post_class(); ?>>

<!--h2><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></h2>-->

<div class="txtContent">

<div id="forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" class="bbp-forum-content">

<?php  bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'single-forum' ); ?>

</div><!-- #forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

<?php

endwhile;

?>

<?php  bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

Hi

I have developed a new theme and customized the bbPress for it.

My pagination links doesn’t work. It shows empty results although it “know” there are results (see the source). This is true for front-page as well as for single-forum page. If anybody can help you will make me very happy.

Thanks,

Daniel

[Anonymous User]

Here are the details:

website.com is setup for multisite with just one add-on site website.com/kittens.

Now when test registering a user for website.com everything works as normal. User is registered, receives activation email and can login.

However, after logging in the user and attempting to post a bbPress topic the following message is received:

“You cannot create new topics at this time.”

My initial thought was “Okay, 3.4, probably some hiccups to still be worked out with all these variables and all the plugin authors making the mad dash to fix unforeseeable issues that arise.”

However, after further investigation I realized what the issue was that the test user failed to be registered as website.com’s user and instead as some sort of pseudo network user hence not having the right privileges.

Thanks, Bryan

Good day house, i just installed the BBpress plugin but when i login to my admin panel, i got the message at the top “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress”

Does it mean my theme can’t work with the plugin, i am using a premium theme not free one, anyone plz help.

[rmazereeuw]

When I upgraded to the newest version of bbpress, I was getting the error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Looks like it may have been a memory issue. I bumped up my wp memory in wp-config.php and all is good.

Your mileage may vary…

[ksmithtn]

We have a forum that is basically functional, but needs some optimization of plugins / php so they are less taxing on our server. Currently, we are being throttled.

Please contact us if interested.

[Todd – WireFlare]

This is true and I should have mentioned that when I posted the code just as a precautionary measure but for me it’s not about looks it’s about database efficiency. Therefore, removing any and all revisions is good once you know that it’s safe to do so.

Unfortunately BBPress stores it’s revisions without anything different from that of a post. Here’s a revised version of the code should you only want to delete one forum topic revision as that’s really the only other way beside hiding the code.

And for those that just want to hide the code edit your theme css and use this:

.bbp-reply-revision-log {

display: none !important;

}

If you’d like to just remove revisions from a single forum topic use this in the same manner as my previous post and modify {post title} to reflect your topic title exactly how it’s shown, with spaces.

<?php

require_once('wp-load.php');

$posts = get_posts('post_type=revision&post_status=any&post_title={post title}&numberposts=-1');

foreach($posts as $post)

{

echo "{$post->post_title}n";

wp_delete_post($post->ID,true);

}

?>

Hope this helps clarify and remember to always make a backup as the script does modify your database.

[Jeff Sebring]

If you are using persistent cacheing, you may need to use wp_cache_flush() to allow the upgrade variable to be set.

I kept being sent to the upgrade database page from the admin after updating on a heavily cached site.

I hope this helps someone.

The bbpress.css loading twice issue has been resolved!

[Martin]

I’ve got a reasonably complex set of plugins myself.

I’ve upgraded to WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.03 with minimal issues.

I’d suggest that you’ve either got a plugin conflict and/or a theme that isn’t 3.4 compatible.

Your first port of call is to revert to the bog standard WP theme for testing and then if that doesn’t resolve things, start by disabling plugins.

And then report back here

[John James Jacoby]

Search for bbp_show_lead_topic. This has been answered here several times before.

[John James Jacoby]

Marco – thanks for the feedback. No reason to double post this. Trac is plenty fine.

[John James Jacoby]

Not the same issue at all. Also looks like you fixed it.

[John James Jacoby]

[John James Jacoby]

Look harder. Plenty of examples in the forums here and the codex.

What your site looks like is not the intention. Your theme is not compatible with bbPress, since it’s doing something o override the WordPress template loader.

[John James Jacoby]

Not experiencing any of these issues on several installations. Can you please try your updates again? If you have anymore feedback other than ‘it broke’ would also be great.

[DarwinsDream]

WOW scary results here. I have a stable thing with WP 3.3 and bbPress 2.0.2 im down right frightened to uprade either of these. I’m not touching a thing right now and I recommend that to everyone.

[DNBrawler]

Hey BBpress Community,

I’d like some sort of direction about making the first posts of every topic appear on the top of all of the topic’s pages.

Also I’d like for the first post of each topic to be separated from the replies . I prefer this appearance because I want to add ads, similar topics, and messages.

And, I’m currently investigating how to do this but to ease the workload has anyone found a way to differentiate how many topics appear on a selected page. As you can see on my site http://wwww.dnbrawler.com it is set to 6. But I want the forums to wield 15 or more.

Thanks, please excuse me for all the requests I look forward to your responses.
