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

[engin1984]

<?php post_author_avatar_link(32); ?>

[Jared Atchison]

Are you on bbPress 2.x or 1.x?

If you are on 2.x do not use the plugins on bbPress.org, instead use WordPress.org

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

[Jared Atchison]

Put this in your theme’s style.css

.bbPress #content {

width: 67%;

}

[Laughing Cat]

no clues? is there any filter I can use to alter the default bbPress avatar size, just like in Buddypress? or replace the function calling the avatar in my template files to use avatars of a different size?

thank you

[Laughing Cat]

jaredatch,

since you say this might be a known bug could you please direct me to the issue in trac where this bug was originally traced? perhaps I can give some feedback there, being a rare one, and hopefully help somehow fixing it

thanks

[Laughing Cat]

I’m thinking… could this be due to the fact I did import all my forums from a previous 1.x standalone installation to a 2.x installation?

The import was fine, I got all my users, topics and replies back. As well as forums. However, there might have been something there, that doesn’t allow me now to set the forum order? Eventually could I force it by looking into the database?

any hint?

thanks

[Dave]

At the top of the forums here you have a “start new” link. The link destination seems to be:

http://mywebsite.com/forums/?new=1

But when I use the link, in my case, href=”http://theatremusicdirectors.org/forums/?new=1&#8243; it doesn’t work.

I want to put a “Create New Discussion” button in my sidebar – how do I do this?

I’m using bbpress 2.

[Laughing Cat]

Done that too, anyway there’s nothing else being loaded on forums besides forums, as I said I haven’t touched yet the template files, just copypasted into my theme. Other than the forums themselves, in the forum pages, there are being loaded just wordpress menus. As I said it looks like they are ordered in the frontend based on their ID not on the page order. Which is the function listing all the forums in the template files? Can I try perhaps forcing the order or if I know which is the function responsible for that perhaps I can throw some PHP to reorder them manually – in this case may I know how it is stored the ordering variable?

thanks
