Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.

The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it.

[Jared Atchison]

Absolutely. Unfortunately most theme authors just don’t want to put in the time to make it “bbPress ready” out of the box.

[SK]

That is kindof what I am asking.

Are themes allowed to “support” bbPress and other custom pages?

[frank8265]

unzipped foldername is “trunk” which i renamed to bbpress.

Downloaded a zip file from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

and it had a different content then the “trunk” folder.

Uploaded this one and it worked in wordpress.

However, the initial problem from this topic still remains, also in version 2.1

[Jared Atchison]

What is the name of the new folder you are moving into the plugins directory. What’s inside it.

Sometimes it may unzip as bbpress-r238787/bbpress/ so I just wanted to make sure that’s not the case.

Inside the folder should be all the normal contents of bbPress. It should work fine on multisite without any issues.

[Jared Atchison]

I don’t think bbPress is doing this.

What plugins are you using?

[Jared Atchison]

Just delete the bbpress directory in your plugins folder and replace with the new one. You don’t need to do any uninstalling in WordPress, no.

[Jared Atchison]

Theme’s can certainly ship with “bbPress support” if they wanted to – most just don’t.

Not sure if that’s what you are asking.

[SK]

No. I meant providing, say, layout for bbPress pages….

[thetalltree]

Thank you, that plugin was exactly what I wanted. Not a highly refined plugin but still works.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not 100% as I don’t deal a lot with multisite, but I don’t belive the subsites should conflict with one and other.

[Jared Atchison]

Wow, that is really weird.

Just for grins, if you upgrade to 2.1 does that fix it.

@The Newb – posting a thread bashing bbPress, complaining how “complicated”, and how no one helps you – despite being a member of the forum for 1 week and only posting once is insulting.

Obviously bbPress is not the forum software for you – that is fine. Good luck installing and customizing an alternative.

Move along and stop trolling. Any further threads/replies that are not constructive will be closed or deleted.

I have site where I have BP forum. And I’m making new site, where I want to include topics from old site. Topics are in buddypress, while new site will have bbpress…

Can I do that? If so, how?

[frank8265]

Hi,

I’m just building a site and want to use bbpress as a forum. Mostly because it works with a bilingual site.

However, if i open a topic, it doesn’t display date, time etc…

example:

Any ideas / solutions?

Grtz,

Frank

I am having some problems generating a forum index page.

Once I created my forums I thought that by adding the url http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/ to the menu I would be in business. Going to the url shows a featured article and the bbPress sidebar, not a forum index.

Since I did not get a forum index I created a new page and named it Forums. I then pasted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] into the body of the page and nothing changed. The same results were displayed as if I did not have a page. Almost seems like bbPress ignored my page.

Here is the link to the page…

http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/

The next thing I did was to create another page and name it “Test Forum.” I inserted the shortcode and this page displayed a forum index for me.

http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/test-forum/

The problem I am having now is that the slug “test-forum” only relates to this page and not to any of the forum pages because the slug “test-forum” does not exist in the bbPress settings. Those settings use the slug “forums/forum”. If I change the “forums” slug to “test-forum” I end up back to my original problem.

I would like to leave my slugs defaulted to their original values. I just want a forum index page using the bbPress slugs and have a bbPress sidebar.

This is probably simple, but I have not figured it out yet, so I hope someone can shed some light on what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,

Rhek

Hello,

To solve my problem I went into my bbpress setting on my network site and changed the forums slug name. That seems to have cleared up the “Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page” message on the subsite.

I would like to leave the bbpress slugs as default on all subsites and was curious if one subsite will now conflict with another subsite or will what I did cause other issues.

Thanks,

Rhek

[rhek]

Still have this problem. Would appreciate some help.

Thanks,

Thank you John, I use bbPress 2.1 and using Shortcodes actually improve something. The list of forum looks better. But still not working correctly, you can see it again in http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum.

I know no one will take so much trouble but if you want I can give you access to the web or create an instant portable wordpress (http://www.instantwp.com/) with themes, plugin and everything ready to see what errors have. If not, nothing happens, I understand that you do not waste time on this with me.

John thank you very much for your help, really appreciate it

[Jared Atchison]

In theory this should work with bbPress as well, but it has not been confirmed or tested.

When using such features of bbpress its obvious its logging you in and checking your credentials against that stored in the DB before allowing you to post.

What about such features like Facebook registration and login?

What steps or food for thought can you give me around allowing users to register through Facebook to then be able to login through Facebook and then be treated like a bbpress user with a profile and the ability to post?

[John James Jacoby]

Try using bbPress 2.1 pre-release and report back.

I continued to do some tests but continues to do the same. I have asked in the support forum wordpress theme, but nobody has any idea. So I’m giving up, I do not know what else to do.

[abaumg]

Thanks – that works fine!

Hi, I am new here.

I just upgraded WordPress and Buddypress on my site to the newest version. I noticed the avatars folder has been moved from wp-content/blogs.dir/1/avatars to wp-content/uploads/avatars, and since avatars are not showing in bbpress I guess it is still looking for avatars in the old location.

I am using bbpress verson 1.0.2. I will upgrade to 2.0 sometime later on, but for now I need this one to work.

Does anyone know what I need to do to make this work?
