Thanks. Debating between bbpress and mingle.
I hate to drag up an older topic, but I’m having the same issue. What exactly did you change starofmay to make things work for you?
Im sorry if this has been asked already. I need help kindly making bbpress as a page in my nav bar? Info highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
We just installed bbPress 2.0.2 on the latest version of WordPress. Everything is working great, except that when someone subscribes to a topic they never receive the email notifications. Regular WordPress notifications (such as new user registration) work fine. Any idea what’s wrong? The only other plugins we have are small things like random quote widget and weather widget.
Thanks!
Hello, I have bbpress up and running along with buddypress and it’s working fantastic. I have just one issue.
On my main forums page, I can’t figure out how to get the topic count to update. For example, here is my page listing all my forums:
http://www.cornerstonecooking.com/forums/
The second forum (Cornerstone recipes) says it has two topics but there is really only one. I created a topic in that forum and then deleted it but the count still shows 2 topics. While this isn’t a huge deal, I can imagine it getting confusing as forums grow.
I even permanently deleted the topic in the wordpress admin section thinking that might do it. Still no luck.
Is there some reason why this count isn’t updating normally?
Thanks!
I’m using “bbPress (Twenty Eleven) 1.0 by Stephen Carroll, WordPress and bbPress teams.” I get the error:
“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”
And the page templates don’t show up, so I can’t create a forum index. Have I installed this theme incorrectly?
thanks!
I’ve just installed bbpress and it looks great. I seem to some sort of problem. When some post a reply to the first post i looks strange…
LINK: http://www.neworleanssaints.dk/Forums/emne/test-trad/#post-3573
WordPress vers: 3.3.1
bbpress: 2.0.2
My installation instructions.
1. Installed plugin and activated in WordPress.
2. Copied the contents of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/ into my themes root folder /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/
3. Modified bbpress.css in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/css/
4. Put in this line in my header.php <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/css/bbpress.css”>
5. Modified my page.php in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/ (please note if you have any other pages using page.php in your theme modifying this file will also modify those pages utilizing this wordpress page template). I modified it so my forum would be full width without the sidebar. This will vary depending on your theme.
6. Created my forums in my wordpress admin panel under the forum section.
7. Tested, everything is working great!
It looks OK to me but I rarely mess with stuff like this.
If your site is still under development, you may consider upgrade bbPress to 2.1 (currently in testing). It has some new theming features and auto-detection in place.
In 2.1 it should automatically find those files without needing to put anything in your functions.php.
If you do choose to try 2.1, since it is “beta” at the moment make sure and back up everything first just to be safe.
You will have to elaborate on that.
How to await moderation post???????
Seems I’ve found out why. The theme I’m using doesn’t seem to have a template that’s supports the bbPress forum.
Anyone wanna help me tweak this theme!? lol
Thanks man but I have looked all over both CSS files.
/theme/styles.css
/css/bbpress.css
I dont see anything about profile or user visabilty or any allow statment going on in there.
Do you know where this elusive theme edit is you speak of????
It may have to do with my no login with firefox and safari issue as well.
I got it…. woah… Topic Resolved
in bbpress.css (Line 109)
#content th.bbp-topic-author,
#content th.bbp-reply-author {
text-align: center;
width: 110px;
}
Sets the size of the container holding all the author info. Which the forum content aligns to. Mine was set too small it works now. With a little tweaks back and forth to adjust for cross browser continuity. hmmm
Do you know what effects the update to 2.1 will have?
btw you rock as a moderator !!! thanks
and how the hell do i change my avatar on bbpress.org ? haha
If you are using bbPress 2.x (which you are) all the users are shared and everything is taken care of automatically – so no need to worry 
The article you were reading might have been for bbPress pre 2.x.
My site has a forum AND may have a blog in the future. So I just wanted to be sure that users did not have to create two different logins.
So this will occur automatically? An article I thought I read in one forum that the databases for the bbpress and wordpress users were inherently separate, unless you specifically told bbpress to use the same database as wp?
I see what you mean. I’m not sure, I played around with the CSS but couldn’t get it to work either.
It’s worth noting that bbPress 2.1 actually has switched to a tableless layout
Hmm I see what you mean.
I’m not sure where that is coming from. That portion (the heading) is controlled by your theme, not bbPress.
If you switched your theme to TwentyEleven my guess is that the problem would go away.
You will have to look and see if you can find what code the theme is using and it might help track down where this is coming from.
To my knowledge there is no “switch” that turns them off.
I believe you will need to edit your theme to remove where the tags are being called.
No need to bump an old thread.

Please create a new topic if you have more questions.
I figured out the forum was based off of page.php in my themes directory. I just modified page.php the way I wanted it and it is working great. Thanks!
Does anyone know what php pages edit the content of the embeded bbpress page?
example:
http://www.soundhampton.com/?forum=news
I would like to edit out aspects of the page and move acpects of it to the bottom.
ie. Move “This forum contains” box to the bottom maybe removing altogether
Also editing the create a topic box…. maybe there is good plugin im not sure ive been buried in the coding of this and havent found anything.
