okay so I just found this little bug that when I change the slug settings under settings > forum to something that does not match the page slug I can see the forums but it looks like this…

But it looks like this when I make the slugs match, which is what it’s supposed to look like. However you can see that now there are no forums at all

the user was given the forum moderator role that was created when I activated bbpress, and I have tried giving them the standard moderator role and still no luck with being able to create forums

Hi I’m using bbpress within a Childtheme.

What I did was:

1. add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); in my functions.php

2. put all template files from the plugin into my child theme folder

3. added all bbpress.css in my child theme css

now everything works well from scratch. just one problem.

the table for the replies doesnt look nice.

the column with td or th with .bbp-reply-author should be 120px as i figured it out from the stylesheet. the second column should be the rest to add it up until 100%.

this works for the topic post but not for the replies. the replies column is only about 100px wide and doesnt fill up the row to the needed 100%.

my theme css for tables include only the following:

table { width:auto; border-collapse:collapse; margin-bottom:1.5em; border-top:1px #888 solid; border-bottom:1px #888 solid }

table caption { text-transform: uppercase }

table.full, .widget_calendar table { width:100% }

table.fixed { table-layout:fixed }

th,td { padding:0.5em }

thead th { color:#000; border-bottom:1px #800 solid }

tbody th { background:#e0e0e0; color:#333 }

tbody th[scope=”row”], tbody th.sub { background:#f0f0f0 }

tbody th { border-bottom:1px solid #fff; text-align:left }

tbody td { border-bottom:1px solid #eee }

tbody tr:hover th[scope=”row”],

tbody tr:hover tbody th.sub { background:#f0e8e8 }

tbody tr:hover td { background:#fff8f8 }

So no more widths included. Do you know how i can figure out where the problem is?

I tried to specify the column widths with <colgroup><col width=”25%” /><col width=”75%” /></colgroup> in the loop-replies.php file.

Second i tried to style the widths of td and th cells with .bbp-reply-author and .bbp-reply-content classes.

both didnt actually work. would be very glad to get any input you might have.

having this same problem with 2.1 and refreshing the permalinks does not help

[MaTaX91]

well I use buddypress so I have a bbpress folder in my theme with some adjusted files in it already, by the way I am on 2.1

I’m looking for towards how might I achieve this? I saw the template tag but didn’t know if there was a way to tell php to grab the sub-forums of a specific one or not, looking for some guidance on that

[charliedrake]

class foomanchu {

function __construct() {

add_action( ‘bb_hook’, array( $this, ‘callback_function’ ) );

}

function callback_function() {

$result = ‘foomanchu’;

return $result;

}

}

The bbPress Docs state that bbPress uses the exact same Plugin API as WordPress, yet the above would work in WordPress, but silently fail in bbPress.

any light in this would be much appreciated.

Hi at all

sorry my english is not very good;-)

where can I find the code (I think he is in the themes folder) to delete the tags?

thank you very much!

[Martin]

Brilliant!

The https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-bbpress/ works a treat.

Though apparently it does need to be updated for bbPress 2.1 so people should be aware of this.

For me, it works just how I’d have thought it should work as a total WordPress Search package. What’s the point of a site wide forum if people can’t search all content?

[wout_m]

I found this plugin for wordpress.

http://adambrown.info/b/widgets/2008/02/20/new-plugin-kb-new-posts/

It places a cookie and then marks all post since the last visit with “new”. It seems to be a simple plugin and I think it must be posible to make it work for BBpress2.0 posts.

Can someone give me a clue?

[whereiswill]

Might of been answered before but I cant seem to find it on the boards. I apologize if this is common, I might of not used the best wording.

I installed bbPress on a test wordpress running 3.2.1 (or most current). Installed just fine and I proceeded to test it from a users perspective. I added a login and register links and pages, work just fine. However when I login or register, the function will login or create a user but the new URL causes a 404.

I’m using XAMPP on my personal machine and the directory of my wordpress install is

localhost/wep/wordpress

That works just fine as it should. However the URL that returns on successful login or registration displays as :

localhost/wep/wordpress/wep/wordpress/login/

which obviously throws a 404 as it’s non existant.

I had a phpbb install in the wordpress folder before I installed bbPress and believe I might of changed the folder path on install. I tried deleting bbPress to reinstall but it just gives me an activate/deactivate/delete option.

I’m assuming there’s somewhere in the plugin I can change that root folder pathing or whatever configuration is causing this error but I’m unsure of what and where.

Any help is appreciated.

Search excludes topics/replies/forums by default – mainly because most people who install bbPress don’t have their search results styled/configured to handle the results correctly.

There are a few plugins out there that should get you started, however

I’d check out

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-bbpress/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Hey Guys,

Looking for why this is…..

I wonder why bbPress Topics / Replies don’t show up in a normal site search using the WordPress Search function?

I’d have thought (probably wrongly) that since bbPress uses Custom Post Types that it’s content would be a part of core Search.

Any isn’t this the case?

[John James Jacoby]

What version of WordPress are you using? I suspect something in your theme is attempting to access a $post variable that’s been unset as part of bbPress attempting to work its magic.

You can tell that it’s using the page template, since you have some hard-coded author information in there. It’s probably something in your theme that’s trying to access something that no longer exists.

[Jared Atchison]

Contact your web host and see if they use “qmail” to handle the email on their servers.

[danaskallman]

Hi,

I have bbpress setup and when someone clicks on email updates, is not working. I have added bbPress Digest & bbPress New Topic Notifications and no emails are going out. The lost password works fine, not sure if that applies or not. Any thoughts?

Dana

[Jared Atchison]

Not much you can do since you changed core files.

Make sure you have a backup of your current bbPress directory before the upgrade (it will get deleted). Then after the upgrade you will have to start manually merging your edits back to 2.1 core again.

Ideally you shouldn’t touch core if at all possible.

[Jared Atchison]

If you are using bbPress 2.x you should simply be able to set that forum to “hidden” in the settings for that particular one.

[BigRedNY84]

Hi. I’ve been trying to fix this for about a week now with no luck. BBPress installs correctly, and when I go to the Forum page I see the proper list of forums to choose from. But when I choose a forum, it doesn’t take me to the topic list at all. Instead I get a blank page with this error message at the top:

Warning: get_object_vars() expects parameter 1 to be object, boolean given in /home/hukeac/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 409.

How can I fix this?

[readcomicbooks]

I’ve looked around this forums and Google’d it. It is just not making sense to me. I understand there’s a folder that you download, but I installed bbPress via JustHost.com. I do not know how to connect it to a folder or how to actually make these plugins work. Clearly new at this whole deal. When I go to edit my bbPress forum and look at the plugin section there are only three, and I assume they are the three that come “pre-loaded” when you start a new forum.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

[peter avey]

Thanks, so i can copy and past style.css into my wordpress theme css file?

Regards,

Pete.

[ddlg2007]

Thanks a lot for your help and time dude, I will try make some test about what you say, then I back for tell you if work.

[kikac_nngk]

wp-content –> plugins –> bbpress –> bb-themes –> bb-twenty-ten –> style.css

But i think you need a child theme, if you want to modify it.

Otherwise with your next bbpress upgrade, your components in the file will be replaced or removed

[kikac_nngk]

Hi there. I’m using the suffusion theme along with a bbpress forum plugin. The point is, that, I removed the sidebar and the previous widgets from the forum pages, but if I add new widget to the sidebar, the widget is showing on the forum pages. I want to know if I’m missing something like some functions like dynamic_widgets() or the problem is something else.

Thanks in advance !

[peter avey]

I can’t seem to find the BBpress css file either

Regards,

Peter AVey

Hi Guys,

This is the first time I’ve used BBPress. I’m looking at using the original twenty ten theme http://cl.ly/1Q1Z3q1i3T091N272u0K on my custom wordpress theme http://cl.ly/1F3f382h3v1X0k0N1s2n

Does anyone have any ideas?
