Hi all,

Having trouble making my forums work.

First of all, using theme “delicate”

http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/delicate

problem is i cant see the normal templates i would with a normal wordpress theme when creating a new page

Am I out of luck? Or is there a fix? My searches seem to be mixing with bbpress themes(?)

[nessynoodles]

I’ve just installed BBpress as a plugin in WP. From the Admin interface I can see the Forums button but when I press on it all I get is the option to create a new forum. What I really want to do is change and existing one to a category type so that the users don’t create topics at this level but do it a lower level. I watched the Youtube video and it seems that I don’t have the same version and at some point it looked like you could see a list of forums and edit the forum. Any help would be appreciated

PaulieP Please contact me via http://scr.im/pagal for bbPress theme design. Thank you.

Hi Scoe, Thanks for the Code to alter the forums breadcrumbs. I was wondering if you could let me know which file you found the h1 located in? in order to change that? I’ve been looking everywhere.

I think you brought that file into your main theme directory to overwrite bbpress’s standard files?

[John James Jacoby]

You can use bbp_get_forum_last_active_id() to get the post ID of the latest topic or reply. From there you’ll have to use WordPress functions to get out what you need.

(This, of course, is assuming you’re using bbPress 2.0 or beyond)

[PaulieP]

I need someone who has created themes integrated with a WP site theme before – basically I want a cleaner theme than the default bbPress style, and that is integrated properly with my WP theme.

I am using the bbPress plugin for WP. Let me know how to contact you .THanks.

[guy2131]

I use the plugin version of bbpress and wordpress 3.3.2 The plugin fit perfectly with my website theme the only problem is that the ‘Reply’ box shows right after the first topic post and all other replies are at the bottom. In other words the first post is separated from replies by the box where you insert your reply. It doesn’t look like there is a theme conflict or anything – is it a setting? When the reply is short it shows up in the corner by recaptcha (plugin) box of reply area and it looks like this http://www.ibikiniwax.com/forum/topic/jannet

I’d like to have all replies above the ‘reply’ box obviously. I really don’t know where to start and wax hoping that maybe someone had a similar problem. Other than this one issues everything else works.

I appreciate all clues and suggestions

Thanks

Hello friends,

I’m trying to import the BBPress theme into my main theme, Vithy. I’ve tried it once, it did not work at all. The only thing what occurred is that the whole website was blank except for the header.

I’ve followed the manual how to do it the right way but still having issues.

This is what i did:

1. Moved all of the files including folders from “bbp-twentyten” to “wp-content” -> “themes” -> “vithy” .

2. Added “add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );” to functions.php

No result. Am i missing something? I have already changed some looks of the default theme.

To view my website (its hidden, you need to log in with this normal user)

address: http://dutchlimitsstudio.com/wp-admin/

user: public

pass public@user

I’ve already put everything back to the default folders like it was! So it isn’t done yet!

I want to upgrade bbPress from 0.9.0.4, and I understand I should go via 1.0.2. Is this correct?

If so, where can I download 1.0.2?

I have tried upgrading from 0.9.0.4 to 1.1 (overwriting my files with those downloaded from http://bbpress.org/download/legacy/), but this just gave me a blank/white screen. Hence, I downgraded to 0.9.0.4 again…

It would be great with some hints and tips!

[PaulieP]

anyone?

[Andrew]

I really don’t know much but it seems to me that you’ve created a sub-forums of Software, and that is why they are indented. If you didn’t want that, I think you should just make them their own forum, not in sub forum.

In order to modify BBpresses output of sub-forums is beyond my knowledge. Maybe someone here can help you.

[Andrew]

Hi Folks, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction on where or what to modify.

I’ve got BB press set up at the root slug ‘Forums’ and when I navigate there I get a list of the 5 forums I’ve created so far. The page title on that page is currently the last forum I added.

SO the page display’s ‘Off the Mat’ as the page title in the h1 of the main content

while below is a listing of 5 different forums (the last of which is Off the Mat).

How can I modify that page title to be something like ‘Community Forums’ or similar?

I understand I’ll need to create a plugin, and get a bit of bbpress code pulled into it and then modify it, but looking at the includes folder I really don’t know where to start. And once my plugin file is created it goes where?

Thanks for any help you can give.

[Alfahad Khan]

I have bbpress running at http://www.gizmonext.com/forums and the problem is that if you see forums you can notice that SOFTWARE is a category enlosing OPERATING SYSTEMS (0, 0), OFFICE & INSTALLED APPLICATIONS (0, 0), SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT (0, 0) forums respectively. I want it to look like the below structure

SOFTWARE

OPERATING SYSTEMS

OFFICE & INSTALLED APPLICATIONS

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Even it would be better to get (0, 0) directly in the columns of Topics and post.

Any help in this matter will be appreciated

[toadus]

this is going to sound really stupid but im very new to this ive installed wordpress and then added the bbpress plugin – however i really odnt know how to get the forums to work as a button on my homepage – i am more than happy to give someone my admin login if they will sort it out for me – im sure it would take 2 minutes to someone who new what to do

thanks loads

Sure.

I have the Black Label wordpress theme on my site and as such it comes with a fullscreen background image option on every post and page. I bought this theme for this very reason. Now, when I plugged in bbpress, I had to use the shortcodes on the main forum page which was no problem but when I click on the forum or the topic links, I get sent to a page that instead of saying “edit page” in the admin bar, it says “Edit forum” or “Edit topic” and doesn’t allow me to set the background image.

Now I looked into creating a default background image by changing some .css but this sets that image for ALL the pages, (page.php) and though it is overridden by the set background image in the theme, it isn’t pleasing to my eye to have one background image when you open and a second or two later have another one pop up on top of it. So I trashed this option.

Did some research on how I can resolve this problem and found a previous thread here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Needless to say that it interested me that I could create my own wrapper and have the forums and topics open up in a special page and have a set background for that page alone that won’t affect my other pages.

Well, this is the skinny of my situation. I hope I gave you enough info this time, sorry for not doing it from the get go. Can I do this? Where do I change the default wrapper to my new one? I’m imagining it’s in the function sets. Or perhaps there is an even better solution to my situation. What do yo suggest Brandon?

Oh, and thanks for your time

[John James Jacoby]

Happy to help, but I’m only one person; can’t do it all. It’s way more helpful to everyone (and the project) if you dive into the code and figure it out in your free time rather than relying on mine.

Also, no reason to create one topic and point to your old one. It’s spammy. Closing this one.

[Brandon Allen]

Could you give some more info on what you’re trying to accomplish?

[Dykarna]

Any one that get this to work?

Something at line 74 thats not is correct.

[Arion]

Where do I go in to tell bbpress to pull bbpress.php and use it as the wrapper for all forums and topics therein. Please help!

Thanks in advance. Been working on this for a while with no luck.

[phillg]

I have spent countless hours trying to solves this but im still having no luck. I have trawled through google and the bbpress forum but can’t seem to find a solution.

While updating a website for a client they asked for buddpress to be removed as no one was using the social network side of the site, and a stand alone forum be put in place, hence bbpress.

I started off by removing the buddypress plugin and all it files, deleted the bb-config.php and dropped all the tables in the database with the prefix wp_bp.

I installed the latest bbpress plugin from within the wordpress admin and activated it, then created a few test forums and topics.

The forum displays fine when the default permalink structure is used however when I turn pretty permalinks on all the pages go to a 404 page not found.

I have tried adding Options +Multiview and Options -Multiview to the .htaccess. I have tried setting the bbpress mod_rewrite to true and false but still no luck.

I have also tried chmod 777 the .htaccess file.

Here is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .join-hello*

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*helloecoliving.com.* [OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$

RewriteRule (.*) http://helloecoliving.com/spam-prevention [R=301,L]

# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

#uploaded files

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule . – [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_security.c>

<Files async-upload.php>

SecFilterEngine Off

SecFilterScanPOST Off

</Files>

</IfModule>

<Files 403.shtml>

order allow,deny

allow from all

</Files>

deny from 93.182.137.19

This is driving me crazy all my other custom post types work!

Any help is appreciated!

– go to your WordPress admin backend

– go to add new plugin

– either search for bbpress plugin, or if you’ve downloaded the .zip already, go to upload tab and navigate to where you downloaded it to

– press install now

– activate it

Then you get a new section in your dashboard – forums, topics and replies

Off you go

[jude44]

I am having similar trouble. On WordPress log out I do not get directed to the Login Out/In page but to another page on my site altogether.

I have also deactivated all plugins one by one to come to the conclusion that it is BBPress plugin. As soon as this was deactivated the log out process returned to normal.

Awaiting to hear of reply to natproff, thanks for help in advance.

[Torsten Landsiedel]

I’ve seen this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and this is bbpress V1.1, so I don’t know if it is already solved. Maybe someone can give me feedback on this, so I can trac a ticket if it is still a bug.

The new WordPress.com startpage has tabs with some subpages, and this subpages have URLs like this:

http://de.wordpress.com/#!/topics/

bbpress is failing on the URL detection. Maybe you will see the problem in this post too. If not, here is a link for you:

http://de.forums.wordpress.com/topic/grosere-auswahl-an-bloggern-in-themen-erwunscht?replies=2#post-17127

Is this still a problem in the newest version of bbpress?

[RVH]

Well after a couple hours I couldn’t get it to work. I followed the instructions but I made the following adjustment. I created a new functions.php in the child folder with the line

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

It all seemed to work but when I created a page and wanted to use a bbpress template only the template for the theme showed up, none for bbpress.

Your instructions say

“Copy the files from plugins>bbpress>bbp-themes>bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder.”

Does this mean that you can just dump the whole thing, including subdirectories in, or do certain things go certain places?

Anyone have some thoughts?

[dpmcalister]

Thanks, I’ll look into that
