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.

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

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?

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.

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

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?

Regards,

It looks to me that your theme is unable to find the BBpress templates. You could try copying the files from the BBpress (twenty ten) theme to your current theme folder. Than make a page called “forum” or whatever you want and put [bbp-forum-index] in it. This is for 2.0.2.

Furthermore, what you could also try is activating the bbPress (Twenty Ten) theme and put “template: Arras Classical Gamer” in it’s style.css (or whatever it’s actually called). I don’t know if that’s the right way of doing it, probably not, but that’s how I got it to work with my theme.

I have two sites on my wordpress network, http://www.pigsfeetproductions.com and http://www.crashedgamers.com. These two sites share the same database, but are hosted on two different servers. I want their forums to be integrated (ie when I post on pigsfeetproductions’s forums, it will automatically appear on the crashedgamers one and I want the users to be the same too if you wouldn’t mind helping me there too). Can anyone help me set this up? I have a decent understanding of the basics of bbpress, wordpress, and mySQL databases, but I just can’t figure out how to get this to work the way I want it to. All help is great appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

At some point in the next 3 years BBpress 2.1 will be released (being dramatic here) and when it does my plugin will tell me to upgrade. How ever I have customized the plugin its self in terms of adding to the core files its self and adding in a couple new features…

How would you guys suggest upgrading BBpress when it does get released so that it doesn’t break my site, disturb my non existent users or other wise do other damage?

[Everton]

please ignore – it was in my theme stylesheet, not bbpress

[Valentina Giorcelli]

HI,

I am having the same problem:

I am running bbpress 2.0.2 under BuddyPress and although my permalinks are nice and pretty :

Code:

/%category%/%postname%/

The permalink used in the breadcrumbs is this:

http://www.foodiesplace.com/?attachment_id=431

(no idea where it got this from since the page does not exist)

The breadcrumb link should look like this:

http://www.foodiesplace.com/en/facecook-forum/

Any ideas anybody?

Thanx

Last week I finished the conversion of my Forum from bbpress1.02 to the WordPress BBpress2.0 plugin. The forum is quite big (about 3.000 users, 9.000 topics and 130.000 posts), so I was very happy evering went fine. But now my users are complaining because some functions they had before, now are missing.

Most requests I get are about unread posts:

I would like to mark the uread post for each user, like the “Show Unread Posts” plugin for BBpress 1.02. As far as I know there is no BBpress2.0 plugin.

Does anybody know if there are plans to make such a plugin. Or how to fix this in another way?
