I must be having a weird issue as I have searched and did not find anyone who posted anything specifically like I am experiencing.

I have tried integrating and doing the manual install of BBPress in my WP installation in the plugins directory, and quite honestly I do not like it very much – mainly because I would like the forum theme to be different than my main site theme and did not see any easy way to do this.

I would like the deep integration happening; however, want to install it manually.

So, I downloaded the .zip file ->Extracted Files->renamed to forum->FTP up to root of the site that has the WP install.

Then, when I navigate to mysite.com/forum, nothing happens. I get just a blank screen. This happens across all browsers, no source code when checked and my php errors are set to display and I get none.

Checked file permissions and they are correct.

I have deleted and retried the entire process and still no luck. Any ideas on what might be going on here? Thanks!

The forums page is here

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/

problems:

– The site considers the (only) forum there as a blog post (see breadcrumbs under the header banner

– thus it does not use the right sidebar widgets (as set up under the widgets admin page)

– there’s no login field

– I had to add the forums page to the top navigation menu as a custom URL page. is that the way it’s supposed to be?

Very confused. Am I missing something very obvious? Or is the setup more involved than just installing the bbPress plugin and activating it?

Thank you

Thanks for the comments, I’d like my members to be able to upload an avatar via the profile edit option in my own BBPress forum. I don’t want them to see a WordPress profile, I’d like a simple upload section for the BBPress profile edit.

I think BBPress is an excellent plugin but I think it should provide a way members can upload avatars.

How do you upload avatars in this actual BBPress forum? Is there an option in profile edit?

Many thanks

I recently installed bbpress and then Members so I could restrict some content only to people who have signed in.

What doesn’t make sense to me is that I have a forum that is locked to certain user roles. But if a member posts a topic in that forum, the topic is public and I have to manually restrict its access.

Same thing with a reply. The forum is restricted – the topic has been manually restricted but the reply to that topic is public.

I looked in settings and didn’t see anywhere to change the default settings so that everything is restricted unless I open it to the public (which would be the easy fix for this).

Is there anyway to a) make everything restricted by default or b) make the settings on a topic and reply match the forum it’s in?

please help me?

thanks

By the way: Why I can’t edit my posts here?

Solution for me:

When I disable the: “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)” from the Settings/Forum and (!) my forum slug has got the same name as the forum on this setting page, than it works for me. Login => correct forum page url for example… kind of strange.

But how can I make the url a bit nicer?

push. no one an idea for solve this problem? Thanks!

Hi,

just wondering if it’s possible to transfer my forum data (posts, members, avatars etc.) from simple-press to bbpress?

If so, how can this be done?

thanks,

Chris

[arturex]

thank you acctually i do have some ideas to contribute , is there a wish list topic already where I can say , or should i just create a new topic for it?.

But going back to the shortcode thing, i am not a programer but is it dificult to create or is out there a code in php instead of the shortcode where i can call a fixed number of topics, and a way to call also an specific number of the last replies just like the way you have it in the home of bbpress.org??

Hi there,

my wordpress lays here: httpdocs/mysubfolder/…

My Problem is now, that after I logged In/out bbpress puts the subfolder too much to the URL in my browser:

correct would be: http://xxx.xx/blend/forums/forum/blend/

but the incorrect bbpress way: http://xxx.xx/blend/blend/forums/forum/blend/

The “blend/” is too much!!! help me, what’s wrong with the redirection after login/logout? My Htacces in the root looks like that:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?heglandog.ch$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/heglandog/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /heglandog/$1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?heglandog.ch$

RewriteRule ^(/)?$ heglandog/index.php [L]

and inside the subfolder:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /blend/

RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /blend/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

Thanks a lot for help!

regards

I’ve posted on wp forums is well but haven’t figured it out.. I’m using ‘User Avatar’ plugin on wordpress. The avatars show up on bbpress profile pages but no edit/upload fields in the profile pages.. How do we sort this out ? Thanks..

[macauley86]

Hi jaredatch,

I just did that, but to no avail. The forums page is blank.

This is my first time using bbPress with WordPress, so forgive the silly questions. is bbPress supposed to automatically show up on a page called “forums”, like YourDomain.com/forums, without me doing anything besides installing the plugin and activating it? Or is there an extra step for me to take?

Thank you

[sarahlueck]

I am not sure if you can help me, I have altered my WP theme and am hosted independently… I have installed bbPress, and can create forums and topics, however they end up just as pages with text, no forum template or ability for users to add content. It looks like this:

Any insight to this would be great!

Does anyone know if there is an RSS feed for favorites in the bbPress plugin like there is in bbPress 1.0? I tried to load a feed from the user profile page, but maybe I didn’t get the feed URL right, or maybe this doesn’t exist?

If it doesn’t exist, is there a plugin for that, or do I have to roll my own to get this working again?

[mizu no oto]

Thank you. I was able to change the color of one box, now yellow,

using the following code.

#content div.bbp-template-notice.info {

background-color: #FFFFEE;

border-color: #FFFFEE;

}

But I can’t figure out the coding using Firebug for . . .

Gray topic box color . . .

http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums/forum/test-forum

Gray author/post box color . . .

http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums/topic/what-sustains-a-democracy

Also I am unable to double-space between paragraphs as the bbpress forum does.

Thanks for your suggestions and help . . .

Cool.

Do you know whether it’ll be possible to inject other code into Topics and/or Replies which other Custom Post Types allow but not yet bbPress?

This is like Advertising or Social Media icons.

As an example, I have the WP Socializer plugin installed for Social Sharing. When questioned about it working, the author replied with:

“Please note that WP Socializer works in all pages or places where there the <?php the_content(); ?> function is called in the theme.”

This seems to be the case for any other Social plugin so I’m guessing bbPress post types do not have this included.

Further, I’m using Simple Ads Manager for injecting advertising space as well as other stuff. Works fine by picking a Custom Post Type and bbPress Topics and Replies show up, except nothing is displayed so I presume these aren’t following Custom Post Type convention, in some way either.

Any ideas on these things?

Oops…sorry, I gave link for bbPress plugin method.

That’s good to know Jared.

What do you think of the 2-3 other items I’ve mentioned in my long rant at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-toastnotice#post-101301

[Jared Atchison]

Did you instal bbPress 2.x from the WordPress dashboard?

If you did, go to Setting -> Permalinks page with will reset your permalinks, then try again and see if that fixes it.

[SharonVW]

Thanks! I followed your steps but now I get this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /forum/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[Jared Atchison]

As OC2PS mentioned, there are plugins that solve *some* of these issues.

bbPress 2.0 is the first release of the plugin addition of bbPress. As time goes on (see bbPress 2.1) some of these features will slowly start to be incorporated into bbPress core.

For now I would look through all the plugin available on WP.org for bbPress

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

[Jared Atchison]

Alright, so I took a glance at http://blog.max-encumbrance.com/bbforums

What is the problem – it seems to be rendering OK.

[Jared Atchison]

Yeah, any new themes or plugins, definitely share with the bbPress community
