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

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;

}

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.

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

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?

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.

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.”

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

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!

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

[Health Tips]

Yes, you can.

Suggest me the best plugins to optimize BBpress. I’ve been searching for the good ones a lot.

How can i do a complete uninstall of bbpress?

So i can reinstall and everything should work

[POS2012]

I had built my own theme, but when installing the BuddyPress I did choose to use the default BuddyPress theme.

I will probably edit my theme to work with BuddyPress. It says that I can go through a step by step edit of my theme, so I will try that

Right now I am wrestling the fact that I can not get it into my language. Yet…

[RVH]

What theme did you use for your 2.1 install? What modifications did you make to the theme if any?

[POS2012]

Ok, I tested now on the test-server.

Write my experience here for you who wonder yourself:

I have Wp lasest installed

I had installed and tested bbPress 2.1 the last week

I now installed BuddyPress as a plugin and did the installation without activating the forum.

Then did go back to the BP settings and activated site wide forums. Then voilá the forum was integrated part of BuddyPress.

Way to go!

Is it ok for me to start with bbPress 2.1 + WordPress, then later upgrade to BuddyPress if my site grows and it will form a natural community?

[dpmcalister]

Sorry to “bump” this, but I was really hopeful that someone would be able to help
