All my bbPress plugins are right now on the dev server with trunk versions of WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.1. But, maybe something changed in these in the last few days, that caused the problem, so I will check my plugins again. But with the RC1 of WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.1 from last Wednesday, all my plugins were working fine.

GD bbPress Toolbox Pro includes all the features from my free plugins for bbPress (all 3 of them: attachments, tools and widgets). Plus, right now it has centralized panels for attachments and error logs for upload of attachments. There are some features that will go into Por plugin only, but I will continue to develop all 3 free plugins.

Reason for having Pro plugin version is that I don’t provide support for my free plugins (I can deal with bug reports, but that’s it) due to the lack of free time, and my Pro plugins users (I have 7 premium plugins) are used to having full support and expect to have extra features from Pro plugins, and that’s why I decided to make it easier: to have one plugin to replace 3 free plugins to add few new things to it and provide full support as with my other plugins.

Milan

I’m trying to get bbpress 2.1 to play nice with Suffusion myself. The above suggestions haven’t worked for me.

What do the template files look like in your child theme?

What change did you make in your .css to get the forum to display full width?

Hello Brett,

It would be great if you wrote a quick tutorial on how you did this.

Thanks, Muzza

In WordPress, there’s a chance to pick out the template for every page (dropdown on Edit Page and Edit Post pages).
bbPress forum root, forums, topics and replies are custom post varieties.
It would be smart to check in bbPress the flexibility to line the default layout for every of those.
Dropdown (like the one on Edit Page page), whereby the admin will choose the layouts from among the active theme’s layouts shall be ideal.
(I perceive that if once this the admin decides to alter the theme, he can got to choose the default layouts for bbPress custom posts once more – similar to he has to do therefore for traditional pages and posts

What is the difference between this and the free plugin? The feature list looks about the same.

[enderandrew]

I tried installing this on a test server with WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.1 (both from SVN) and it broke the ability to add or edit posts or pages.

[enderandrew]

I apologize. This appears to be an issue with the “GD bbPress Tools” plugin. I disabled that plugin and the problem went away.

[enderandrew]

The forums themselves seem to be working, but after activating bbPress 2.1 (downloaded from SVN today), I can’t add or edit posts or pages. It always brings up the last forum I created.

I’ve run into this a few times myself with bbPress 2.0. Sadly I didn’t find the root cause and a proper fix, but I did find a workaround. I change the root slug of the forums to Discussion and then I uncheck “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)”

So my Movies forum is:

http://site.com/forum/Movies and that works. Then I used “Page Links to” and create a menu entry for Forums that links to http://site.com/Discussion as the root of the forums.

I am doing a little bit of reverse-engineering to build a custom BLOG/FORUM theme for my site. I cloned the 2010 bbpress code to my own theme and merged in my header/index/footer pages and custom css styles for starters.

I have nearly identical header.php in BOTH the parent & child themes. The only difference is the header.php in my bbpress child theme removes part of the header, so it essentially is a modified parent-theme header.

I noticed, however, that when I made this change now BOTH my blog and bbpress forum pages have the modified header – what gives?!

How can modifying the child-theme impact the parent?

[sandeepj]

I have a custom wordpress theme for my company’s blog to match the styling of my non-wordpress company website. I came across bbpress and wanted to integrate it into my wordpress company blog.

I followed this tutorial for a basic forum setup:

http://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

My Parent Theme: XX

My Child Theme: XX-bbpress

I created my child bbpress theme and imported the necessary templates as suggested, however, I am baffled by what I observed when I visit the blog landing pages:

I went into WP-ADMIN and activated the child theme. When I visit:

http://www.companydomain.com/blog/forums

– I can see the default forum layout

but when i vist my blog

http://www.companydomain.com/blog

– my blog page is completly blank

I’ve disabled all but the bbpress plugin. WP_DEBUG doesn’t show any errors when I visit my blog page either. HUH?

Am I missing something? Thanks!

OK so after much searching I have a pretty simple solution. The role manager plugin idea was a no go so had to dig deeper.

So add this in your functions.php:

//add author change functionality to bbPress topics in wp-admin

add_action( 'init', 'my_add_author_to_topics' );

function my_add_author_to_topics() {

add_post_type_support( 'topic', 'author' );

}

//then allow subscribers to be authors...good for transfering to bbPress forum which uses custom post types

add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'MySwitchUser');

function MySwitchUser($output)

{



//global $post is available here, hence you can check for the post type here

$users = get_users();



$output = "<select id="post_author_override" name="post_author_override" class="">";



//Leave the admin in the list

$output .= "<option value="1">Admin</option>";

foreach($users as $user)

{

$sel = ($post->post_author == $user->ID)?"selected='selected'":'';

$output .= '<option value="'.$user->ID.'"'.$sel.'>'.$user->user_login.'</option>';

}

$output .= "</select>";



return $output;

}

So this basically allows you to set any user as a post author whether they are a subscriber or not (by default WP only lets you set author roles or above as post authors).

I think I will just use is temporarily during transfer and then comment it out….I would image it could get annoying if you have loads of subscribers and are just trying to find authors etc.

I guess this code could be made into a plugin with an on/off switch in the admin for it….any takers?

Anyway I hope this helps folk in the same boat as me.

Hey,

I tried the last few days to figure out, what I did wrong. On my test version of WordPress I installed bbpress for development. Everything is working fine there.

For the customer, I installed the latest WordPress 3.4 Release Candidate. But when I tried to call */forums, the request slows down and All I get is the theader element. I can get to single forums, topics etc, but I cannot see the whole forums.

Any Idea how to solve this?

[the1path]

I see these in v2.1 but no simple press importer….waaaaaaa

[zeaks]

I wasn’t sure where to ask this. I want to put a note above or next to where it says “Reply” and “Topic Description:” for posting instructions. Anyone know what files I need to edit, or some sort of function I can use?

I did this with wordpress comments EX: Use “< code > to display code in your comment” above the comment box, using a function, no idea how to do it with bbpress though.

[smithaddy048]

your post is really nice.

Hey,

I just installed bbPress on a brand new wp 3.3.2 and I get this error 8 times on the admin pages:

add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead. in .../wp-includes/functions.php on line 3467

[Ing_Ost]

I would like my bbpress plugin in Norwegian. I have followed instructions found on the forum and created the folder wp-content/languages/bbpress, where I’ve put the files bbpress-nb_NO.po and bbpress-nb_NO.mo. In the wp-config file the locale is set to nb_NO.

In the plugin’s bbp-languages folder, there is now only the bbpress.pot file and the index.php.

I can’t see where I’ve gone wrong. Please help!

Thank you.

You could create a new loop-topics.php inside your theme file, then edit that and give it a new name like “loop-new-topics.php”.

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'new-topics' );

Then edit that file to get the look that you want.

[markthedoc1]

I’ve got BBpress 2.0.2 installed on my site and all went pretty smooth.

I’ve got a problem with the registration page when a user registers. What happens is the registration page just refreshes and there is no confirmation message.

The page is working as the user is registered and the website and the user get their confirmation emails but the page doesn’t display a confirmation message so the user wouldn’t know if the registration had been successful.

Any help on resolving this matter would be much appreciated.

I’m having trouble with the new “group forums” feature in bbPress 2.1. Can someone looks into this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-21-cant-do-anything-except-for-posting-a-topic-reply-in-group-forum

[tinewahl]

Hi there. I would like to show recent topics on my website homepage from my forum. I’ve accomplished this already by using the code below. What I can’t figure out is how to tweak this code so that it will display the forum name and topic title only, not the author and all the unnecessary wording (“Started by ___ in:”). What I would like it to look like is a long list with each item presented in the “Forum Name | Topic Title” fashion.

Example:

Italian Food | What’s Your Favorite Pasta Dish?

Japanese Food | Good Sushi Bars in NYC

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 8 ) ) )

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' ); ?>

[Sniper Kitten]

I’m using bbPress 2.1 on my of buddypress powered sandbox & enable the new “group forum” feature that comes with 2.1.

Everything works perfectly except for one thing: I’m only able to post topic & reply in the group forum. When I tried to edit, split, close, stick, merge, trash, spam a topic / reply in the group forum, it don’t work and like if nothing is happen.

If you want to take a look, please go to http://cheng.scirefs.org and login using the following info:

Try posting a topic or a reply in the forum of one of the test group and try to edit it. You’ll know what I’m mean.

Do anyone here is having the same problem?
