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.

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]

# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

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>

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

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.

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

[RVH]

A couple of questions, does it matter if I do that before or after installing and activating bbpress?

And, should the child theme contain the modified functions.php? If it doesn’t wouldn’t the modifications get blown away during a theme upgrade?

Thanks

[pimarts]

As for the original post in this topic. You can simply hide them with CSS. Something like this should work:

.bbPress #bbp_topic_tags, .bbPress label[for="bbp_topic_tags"], .bbPress .bbp-topic-tags, .bbPress label[for="bbp_forum_id"] {

display:none !important;

}

[pimarts]

What I did on http://www.swnk.org is use a plugin called Redirection to simply re-direct the WordPress profile to the buddyPress. I’m pretty sure you can do the same for bbPress -> WordPress. That works.

[pimarts]

Since bbPress is part of WordPress you should be fine using Yoast WordPress SEO. Great plugin.

[pimarts]

Did any of you begging for this theme tried to mail the guy who runs css-tricks?

Aside from that the CSS is all there, so if you know what you’re doing you could ‘easily’ code it together yourself.

We need some real developers taking care of the questions.

hi~ bbPress is really great and I do love it. however, when i transferred my wordpress to a new server. something bad happen.

when I enable the bbPress, an error message shows up:”Warning: Creating default object from empty value in webwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-includesbbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84″

I guess it has something to do with this code ‘$bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;’

could anyone give me some instruction?

the theme i use is the default Twentyeleven Century.

thanks a lot in advance!

[RVH]

Thank you for that. I am going to try that tonight on my practice site and will let you know how it works.

Isn’t it crazy that those instructions aren’t part of the basic bbpress documents or FAQ?

Hi,

I have forum (bbPress 2.0.2) where replay order is set to DESC (users wish) and if topic has more than 1 page, than links to posts are wrong because of pagination.

For better understanding, I’ll give you an example:

Forum has a topic which contains replays in 5 pages.

replay #xx in page 2 has link http://samplepage/forum/topic/TopicName/page/4/#post-xx , but replay #yy in page 4 has link http://samplepage/forum/topic/TopicName/page/2/#post-yy

As far as I understand, there is some problems with pagination in bbp-reply-template.php, but I don’t know how to fix it…

Also because of that, on submitting new replay in topic, user is redirected to wrong page of topic.

Any ideas?

[baldg0at]

Here’s a real basic rundown of what I did.

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

Create a Child theme for your current theme — https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

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

Go to your WP Admin and activate your child theme

Edit the child theme as needed to match your site. You may be able to get by with just editing yourchildtheme>css>bbpress.css, but you can change any of the theme files to make the forums look however you want.

[RVH]

Can someone please walk me through the process to adapt a theme to bbpress? I have been able to use the TwentyTen bbpress them successfully and I love it. But, I’ve tried just installing the plugin with other themes to no avail because the page templates do not show when creating a new forum page.

I know it involves copying the files from TwentyTen/bbpress but I am not sure where and what other steps are involved.

I am a newbie, but, I can modify css if needed.

Many thanks.

Bob

Hi everyone. I’ve seen this come up a lot after having googled these issues but didnt find a consistent answer (e.g. some were from like 2009-2010 dealing with older versions.

I’ve tried numerous things and I still get the common messages at the bottom of this post when going to Appearance/Themes from WP admin.

1. This was a clean bbPress plugin install, latest version, done just a few days ago.

2. Immediately after install, I saw the messages below when clicking the Themes link. I had not moved/changed anything. Seems this comes up, strange that the default bbpress plugin install creates these two error messages by default?

3. I’ve tried copying the files/subfolders from the bbp-twentyten theme to the root directory of my custom theme and adding **add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );** (minus asterisks) to the functions.php of my custom theme. That got rid of the first error message, but the forum appearance was screwed up and definitely not correct, and the second error message about a Broken Theme was still there.

4. I did not overwrite the style.css in my custom WP theme folder when I copied the bbp-twentyten files over. I assume I DO need to copy that stylesheet somehow, but how do I do it without overwriting my WP theme’s stylesheet?

5. I do have key master and file/directory permissions are fine.

6. Copying bbp-twentyten to the my-templates subfolder within the bbpress plugin directory (and of course bbp-twentyten was 755 I checked) still yielded nothing, the two messages at the end of the post still appeared.

Sorry if this is are common issues. I’ve tried some of the suggestions I saw in past posts and they are not working. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

ERROR MESSAGES BELOW:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

“Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description

bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.”

[natproff]

I am really impressed with BBPress so far however I’ve uncovered an annoying little problem that I just can’t fix.

Whenever I log out of either BBPress or WordPress I get redirected to a subdirectory on level down. My install is currently in a subdirectory while it’s being developed but the log out adds another subdirectory of the same name.

An example would be http://www.domain.com/dev

and when i log out i redirect to http://www.domain.com/dev/dev

If I deactivate BBPress this no longer happens so I know it’s something in the plugin. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

[lusitanoflickan]

I can’t get Human Test for bbPress to work on my site. I have uploaded the plugin and activated it, but I can’t see any change on the registration page. What is wrong? Is there any other good alternative to this plugin that I could try instead?

Thanks a lot!

@labsecrets

Thanks a lot for figuring it out.

Nice tutorial.

Old custom built theme for BBpress. Most of the Automattic sites are just like that

[Health Tips]

Yes, you can.
