Will be in bbPress 2.1. Thanks for the recommendation!

No I don’t see anything, essentially what I want to be able to do is on the main list of forums, have each forum link that has sub-forums in it have a specific class on it, so I can single that out with css and use styling the show that that forum has sub-forums in it.

Like they do here…

http://forums.ubi.com/forumdisplay.php/45-GRO-North-America

All the forum names that have that little symbol next to it have sub-forums in them. That is exactly what I want to do with my bbpress forum

Hi folks,

A newbe to WordPress and bbPress so please forgive me (and advise) if this post is in the wrong place.

I’m working with my client’s existing website at http://nmhunts.com I’m attempting to create a Forum in which his clients will be able to discuss their hunting experiences. My intent is to create the forum in a subdirectory and link to it from the main website.

I installed WordPress in folder /wordpress. I installed bbPress. I had to change my Site Address (URL) in General Settings to http://nmhunts.com (from http://nmhunts.com/wordpress) so I could get my log in and log out buttons to work properly. (Without this change, the links would add an extra /wordpress to the url yielding something like http://nmhunts.com/wordpress/wordpress/wp-login.php . . .)

Now my links to my Registration and Lost Password pages don’t work. The path does not include the /wordpress that it needs. i.e. the buttons are looking for the Registration page at http://nmhunts.com/?page_id=8 instead of http://nmhunts.com/wordpress/?page_id=8.

Ideally, I would like to get the login and logout links to quit adding the extra “/wordpress” to the path.

I tried messing around with permalinks and slugs to change the path of these pages but WP apparently won’t allow the forward slash (/) after the

/wordpress/

As stated earlier, I am a newbe and I’m hoping that it is my unfamiliarity with WP and bbPress that is preventig me from finding the easy solution. Your help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, I just install bbPress on my WordPress website with Magnifizine design, but I have a big problem when I go to forums page, just look at this : http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/14/1333461538-bbpresswtf.jpg

How to fix ?

It is the same problem on “forums” page (list with category/forums), and when I click on a category too.

No problem on a forum, and no problem while reading a topic.

Thanks.

Hi!

I´m running a wordpress/buddypess/bbpress combination and I also need to change the permalink structure, in a bit different way then eleram – I´m looking for a more logic structure in all forums: example.com/forum/name-of-forum/name-of-post/

-> replace slug “forum” by name of forum

-> replace “topic” by name of topic

I can customize the code, but I´m not sure where to look on.

@John: “WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress’s content types” -> where do I have to look for (bbpress´ custom post types) to adjust the permalink logic?

Of course I will share my customization as soon a sfinished.

Thanks!

hi all, sorry for bad english. i have installed bbpress by wordpress plugin search tool and i have uploaded the theme in bbp-themes folder (also tryed in my-templates).. now, what to do? lol

practically i’ve got the same problem http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-dashboard

version 2.0.2

[zofar143x]

Still haven’t found a solution either. I can’t imagine no one has run into this before, especially considering the number of people who use Bbpress and Buddypress together. Even if you use the standard setup it won’t look good as it will scale a 50px image to a 80px image.

[Laughing Cat]

I’ve made some progress here:

[bbpress 2 plugin] – How to change default avatar size? (to match Buddypress)

but I haven’t come with the right solution yet so far…

ps – avoid hacking bbp core template files, you should use filters

[areed101]

I installed bbPress and created 8 forums and several topics. All was good. I added the bbPress Attachment plugin and now I can no longer access the forums in admin. I can see and edit topics in the admin and on the front end I can see the forums and add/see topics. I just can not access the forums to add, edit, delete on the admin. The link to Forums does not show up on the Admin navigation.

I am running:

WordPress 3.3.1

bbPress Version 2.0.2

The issue seemed to start after I added the plugin got bbPress Attachments. However, I deleted the plugin (both bbPress and bbPress Attchment) and just reinstalled bbPress.

On another website I used the same template and added both bbPress and bbPres Attachment and it works fine. I also switched to a bbPress (Twenty ten) and had the same issue.

Before I had these problems, I edited the Archive Slugs and Single Slugs several times here (Settings >> Forums)

Currently the slugs are set at:

forum

topic

topic-tag

I do have the warnings: Possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug

However, I get warning no matter what I put in these fields.

Any suggestions?

Hey Jared, just to share this with you, i finally did what i need it in the front page with a tabs plugin found at

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-post-tabs/

and the shortcodes found at

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

you can check it out in the main page of quimbumbia dot org any comments will be apreciated..

Thanks for the support!!

the only thing i need to find now is a shortcode for most visited and most commented

[scotty502]

Well I stumped. I got quite excited thinking it must be a cache issue then – but even after clearing it (both Safari & Chrome) it looks the same as before. Hoepfully it is just a cache issue – but unless my cache is screwy…..

When you checked before did it look wrong – or has it always looked OK to you?

I have taken a screenshot – here. http://www.thecallover.co.uk/bbpresscssissue.jpg

[scotty502]

Thanks – i did try that – but it made no difference. Or did you mean the style of bbpress theme?

Edit * I added it to the twentyten (default bbpress theme) and still the problem remains. I am sure its soooo simple but I am not that great at fault finding even with firebug.

Hi, there!

Can anyone help??? Languages!!!

So, I have stand alone 1.0 bbPRESS and would like to add Slovenian language to it. I’ve created

/public_html/bb-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-sl_SL.mo

and copy translation in it and nothing. I’ve also downloaded and instaled bbPress Language Switcher, and doens’t work. I would be most gratefull for an advice since that is driving me nuts!

Thank you,

Mateja, Slovenia

[John James Jacoby]

Correct, but you’ll need to be creative, since you’ll want to unset or override existing rules.

[eleram]

Thanks John

so I need to use “Rewrite API/add rewrite rule” in wordpress, isn’t?!

[John James Jacoby]

Unfortunately not easily. WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress’s content types. It’s possible to overload them, but you’ll need to do so on your own.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 1.x does not have unread posts or topic icons without third party plugins.

[Laughing Cat]

ach, just now I thought this would have fixed it

instead in the single-forum view under the freshness coulumn, I get some last poster pictures sized 14px (default) and some other at full size

I have no idea why this is happening, and looks very random…

sigh, I wish this whole thing was easier to accomplish…

[Laughing Cat]

I got this solution… which is probably not so clean but it works; previously I had already created a function to retrieve the full width bp avatar in wordpress, now I looked at the bbp code and filtered the function fetching the avatar in replies with that function I had previously created

function sg_author_avatar($size) {

global $post;

if ( function_exists('bp_core_fetch_avatar') ) {

echo apply_filters( 'bp_post_author_avatar', bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $post->post_author, 'type' => 'full', 'height' => $size, 'width' => $size ) ) );

}

elseif ( function_exists('get_avatar') ) {

echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), $size );

}

}



function sg_bp2bb_author_avatar() {

$author_avatar = sg_author_avatar('150');

}

add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'sg_bp2bb_author_avatar')

[eleram]

How can I do this?!

http://127.0.0.1/wp/ %Topic_slug% /%topic_name%

to :

http://127.0.0.1/wp/ %Topic_slug% / %topic_ID%

Example:

h ttp://127.0.0.1/wp/topic/test-topic

to

h ttp://127.0.0.1/wp/topic/1234

[Laughing Cat]

this function:

bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ”, ‘size’ => ‘150’ ) );

actually resizes the avatar to the desired size

HOWEVER, it fetches the buddypress thumbnail avatar – in my case uses the 50px thumbnail and stretches it to 150px, which is ugly

I want to fetch the 150px (full width buddypress avatar ) and display as it is…

@andychan

My pleasure. There is, unfortunately, no easy way to move data from the group forums to the sitewide bbPress forums, other than copy/paste or some involved database manipulation.

My suggestion, based on years of working with customers, is that you simply obfuscate the old forums from plain view in your navigation menus and pages, but then refer to them in a link or button at the top of your new forums pages for anyone who may with to refer back to them. This “human engineering” trick will likely satisfy those who seek to find the old content (like a dusty old book), but will force all new content to be added to the new sitewide forums.

This usually works like a charm, as the old content is always available (directly or in wayback machine or google cache), but people don’t add to it anymore.

Cheers!

if I use that in bbpress templates I get:

Call to undefined function post_author_avatar_link()

[arturex]

Hi all. I’ve read that there is no way that the main page of wordpress can be the forum itself, but i wonder if I can take the code of the bbpress that hanlde all the forums and insert it as an include into the wordpress index.php. if that is posible an some one help me telling me which part of the code is the one I can copy to call the forum and topics in to the very front page.

I’ve seen i can show all that in the sidebar, but i would like to make it the main page like the forum page with the latest topics, most comented and most visited.

Thank you
