Me too. I want to be able to tell bbPress which layout in my theme to use. The default layout has a skinny column and 2 side columns. I don’t want this for the forum.

Hey Guys,

I am using the latest version of bbpress and I want to stop users to create topics.

[elnicole]

Never mind! it is. I was looking too far down!

[elnicole]

Same thing is happening with me. I installed and activated the plug in, but the forum and topics doesn’t show up in the dashboard. The settings can be accessed, but I don’t know if there is anything I need to change in that for the forum / topics to show up.

Hi, i’m new, obviously, and I want to say that bbpress is a wonderful forum software for WordPress.

I have edited my own share of bbpress files; removing the topic tag system, multiple site notices, and several other aspects.

I have ran into a problem, I simply can’t remove the topic-form that is shadowing my main forums. My only intention is having the topic form in a completely seperate page so that way users can click a Create New Topic button and the hyperlink will guide them. I tried to go into all the single-form php files in my theme folder with no avail. Can anyone point me to the right php file, so I can remove this.

Thank you very much

I also intend on removing the “Voices”, if someone can point that out too–that’d be great, would save me some time.

I hear you. I often forget that everyone else isn’t using 2.1. It will be out soon though and then we will start work on 2.2

Ok. I’ve activated the plugin and executed “http://site.com?bbpressimport=1&delete=1” where “site.com” is the URL of my WP installation.

The conversion lasted less than a minute for approx. 1500 posts and had completed succesfully and with no errors. My SPF version is 4.4.1.

Congrats for the plugin.

Ah I see, thank you for the link. I guess I’ll keep any work I do to myself then, it’s a learning experience for me. Too bad it got punted to 2.2 though, I’m already feeling really excited and impatient for 2.1 hehe

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress is going to handle all of this fully in core soon (likely in 2.2).

Check out https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1694 for more details.

+1 looks great, I’ll check it out.

I’m making a post count plugin for bbpress 2.1, but the problem is that I’m new to PHP/MySQL, WordPress, and bbPress. From what I understand, I need to add a row called ‘post count’ to the usermeta table and hook the ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_form_submit_button’ action hook with a function that increases ‘post count’ by 1. I believe I must assign this newly hooked action a low priority as well so that the increase only comes after the post gets submitted into the database.

I should also add a function that builds all post counts for first time run, and even leave a button possibly called “rebuild post count” in the dashboard to run the function. Preferably, I’d like to add a feature where it can run itself every now and then to ensure things the posts are accurate.

I can count up everyone’s post count by filtering through the ‘posts’ table. All replies and topics are labeled as ‘reply’ and ‘topic’ in the post_type column, and there is a post_author column as well. Given these two columns, writing this function should be very simple. But I’m new to PHP/MySQL, and only a computer science student… So even this is a bit of work for me

Additionally, I can add another row so we can add artificial post count increase or decrease as well. Another row is needed because we don’t want the build/rebuild post count function mentioned above overwriting any increase or decrease an admin wants to have in effect. I personally need this row because I’m moving a 2yr old community off of IPB.

I have downloaded, installed, and activated bbPress. But the problem is I have no forum tab in my admin panel nor do I see an option in the pagelines Meta tab to edit bbPress. It’s simply not showing up. What am I missing? Please help…

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I’ve set up wordpress (3.3.2 de) one or two weeks ago, bbpress last sunday. But I’ve nothing migrated.

In the role of a webmaster I can view and edit everything in the forum. During the first tests I changed the visibility to private and back. As a contributor I can only post a new entry. But I can’t even view my own posts. This was on the first day. I deactivated bbpress.

Today I reactivated bbpress. Forums and posts seemed to have gone. I set up a new forum and moved the old posts (topics) to it. With/without allowing anonymus posting everything worked fine for the contributor’s role.

But after setting the visibility to “private” (later to “hidden”) and than back to “public” the same error occurs: contributors can see the forum from the outside but none of the topics/posts.

http://zukunft-stadtbahn.de/forums/forum/redaktionsbesprechung/

Anonymous posting is not allowed, visibility is public

We need to have an internal forum for the contributors to discuss our articles before publishing them.

Who can help? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I have a new site we are working on and I have a CSS related question for you all. I do have a web developer who is much more experienced with CSS, however, I was hoping you all could at least point me in the right direction so I may have something to show him when we start the design process…

On our main bbPress page, which lists out the active forums, we have a column called “freshness” with either “No Topics” if no one has posted or it has the number of days since the last post and the last author. The problem is that it’s pretty visually ugly to see the spacing between “No Topic” and then the spacing between the column which has an actual post with the number of days of freshness and the author.

What I am trying to do is if there is “No Topics” to increase the column size via CSS to make it the same size as the columns who have actual posts with a freshness date and author pic.

I am attaching a screenshot of what I am trying to do. I ran firebug and I see the CSS but I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to modify it.

Thanks!

Alex

Hi,

I’m integrating bbpress into a wordpress site. The client wants to create multiple login identities, but each identity will potentially be used by multiple people. SO . . . in the comments section, I need the comment author to be able to enter his name in the name field, then display comment author’sname in the comments section.

Currently, no matter what I put in the comment author name field (then using ‘bbp_reply_author’ to display the author name), what I get is the admin name, not the name I typed in the field. Where does the name go? I’ve looked all over the files trying to find out where the author name typed into the form goes, and nothing comes up. Ditto for how to display it.

Thanks in advance . . .

Not at the moment but post counts will probably make an appearance in 2.2.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Is it possible to subscribe to comments for anonymous ?

You could use this plugin:
