I wrote a thread earlier stating that I accidently deleted my forum. Well, turns out it wasn’t showing up because I changed the permalinks via wordpress. I’m assuming it just has something to do with bbpress because every other tab works fine when I change the permalinks, only my bbpress forum is no longer to be found. Anything I can do???

[soundman123]

Woah nevermind! I changed it in the bbpress.css and it worked!!! Thanks so much! You’re awesome!!

[soundman123]

Do I change that in the bbpress .css or my theme stylesheet?

[soundman123]

Hey guys. I have very limited web knowledge so bear with me haha. My problem is that the bbpress forum looks good in Safari but in Firefox it is aligned in the center and overlapping the sidebar as seen here: http://guitartipstricks.com/forum

Is there any way to fix this? Thanks

[Captain Ahab]

yes.

I’ve put the shorcodes in the main post indeed.

just quickly went through the “theme compatibility” sticky and I am wondering if there are templates or css from the bbpress theme that I must copy to my WP theme’s folder?

(sorry for my noobishness)

[Jared Atchison]

BuddyPress is entirely modular, so you only have to activate the parts of it you will use (such as PM)

[Bluealek]

I do hope that the PM option could be implemented as an integrated part of bbPress in some of the future releases. Or maybe I should reconsider setting up BuddyPress, although this is the only thing from it that I really need at the moment? I don’t want my site to be too heavy on plugins, because it already has too many of them.

Hi there!

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I am OK with CSS, but what I couldn’t find the bbpress table’s css. Otherwise I would have put the cell width to “auto”.

When I tried to find the css through firebug, I just found the style.css for any table I have on the site. When I set those cells to auto, nothing happened.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m sure something surface eventually, however as you mentioned at the moment there isn’t a working solution for bbP 2.x.

The thing is that the majority of bbP 2.x users (dont have any raw numbers) are using it in conjunction with BuddyPress… so they already have this feature.

Most people who want private messaging also want extended user profiles, etc.. which just leads then to BuddyPress.

[Jared Atchison]

As I said in the other threads you bumped (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unread-poststopics-plugin-or-workaround-for-bbpress-20)

Currently there is no plugin that handles this (at the moment) for bbPress 2.x.

Anyone can write a plugin and contribute it to the WordPress.org plugin repo.

[Jared Atchison]

Unfortunately as you said it’s with you theme. The best thing would be to ask your theme author for help.

Usually when that happens the theme is doing something weird with the loop or filtering the_content in a way that bbPress is not expecting.

[Jared Atchison]

You are not going to be able to do #1 unless you are comforatable making a custom bbPress theme.

#2 and #3 can be down by just making CSS tweaks in your theme’s style.css. You should be able to use firebug (or similar) to help you find the best place to put the changes.

The problem is with Easel theme. This theme very important and I like use the bbpress.

[atomjani]

I am in furm index and there is:

Főoldal › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Kérdések Várjuk a kérdéseidet! 1 1 6 perc peptid-admin

http://vu2006.admin.kovacsjanos.com/forum

This forum is only text, not link: Kérdések Várjuk a kérdéseidet!

When I am in forum, after is ok. Example: http://vu2006.admin.kovacsjanos.com/forum/forum/kerdesek

I use the bbPress 2.0.2 version. This is important.

Thank you the help.

I am also looking for this.

[lmoon]

Hello,

I am having trouble trying to resize my forums table cells widths.

The “topics” and “posts” cells that only contain a number don’t need to be the same width as the “forum” and “freshness” cells that contain words and wrap to the next line.

When I look at the table through firebug I just see “.article th, .article td” which is part of my sytle.css and not bbpress.

Any ideas how I can make the cells widths change?

Here is an example of 1 forum I am talking about http://lifeafterlondon.com/forums-2/

Many thanks

[Captain Ahab]

I’ve installed bbpress from the dashboard, created forums and topics.

I am now trying to use the shortcodes to display the forum in a page

these work for showing the forum

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

but any shortcodes I use to add login,

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

[bbp-lost-pass],

makes my top menu and footer loose all their formatting and makes them become lists. Using the login widget on a sidebar does the same thing. Here’s a screencap: http://i.imgur.com/wmDNx.png

I don’t know if it matters or could be the souce of this issue, but I am using a theme (dagda from wptitans…).

Does anybody have any clue on how to fix that? I really would like bbpress to work!

..and sorry to ask a question that might already have been answered somewhere, I’ve been looking for a solution for a few hours now, any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

Thks!

First of all sorry for bumping so often.

I’m using the suffusion v4.0.4 theme as I mentioned above. I use wordpress version 3.3.1 along with bbpress 2.0.2 and buddypress 1.5.5.

First I removed the <?php get_sidebar()?> from bbpress .php files, then in the style.css i added the proper components for the forum to be full width (i hope you get it), it was working fine.

But then I went into the sidebar.php in the suffusion theme folder (i was just trying something) and when I went to the forum page the other widgets were gone, but the new one was standing right next to the forum container .. I think this happened after I upgraded buddypress.

Then I tried to remove the bbpress plugin along with all his files, then again i re-installed bbpress, and done the same thing as before, but now all widgets are shown, not just only one. X_X

Here’s the link to the forum http://www.poker.mk/forum/forum/

[Bluealek]

Is there a way to add a latest posts list to the forum root level in bbPress 2, just the way I had it in the standalone 1.1 forum (example http://www.stazeibogaze.info/bbpress/)?

Question two – what php line of code should I use when I want to include the bbPress Reply List widget content into a page (not as a widget, but into the main body)?

[Bluealek]

I’m a bit disappointed not to be able to find a simple private messaging solution for bbPress 2 that existed through a plugin in 1.1. I don’t want to go through all the trouble of installing BuddyPress and making all the necessary theme customizations, and I don’t want to use some WordPress plugin that would require users to go to a separate page and select who they want to message from a dropdown list. I need just a simple PM link in the forum interface. Is it so complicated to add the option?

[kim_2012]

Hi there,

Just installed the bbpress plugin. I want to create seperate forums for various class groups, so I’m interested in creating groups of users. I have searched all over under ‘users’ and ‘registration’ and haven’t found anything that helps me understand how this works (no previous experience in setting up a forum!).

Do ppl have to register as users on my wp site to be a user on the forum, and if so how do they do that? And how does it integrate into the forum page?

Also, I was reading on the bbpress site about ‘wp integration’ on the settings page but can’t see anything like that at all. I’m using current version of wp – 3.3.1.

thanks for any help

Kim

Thanks for posting this- bbpress really needs some stronger documentation! The install went smoothly, but I had trouble just setting up the basics.

[GHC_33]

– Installing 2.1-r3822 into a current child-theme –

I couldn’t find any documentation on this.

Im currently using using a child theme and want to add BBPress. What are the instructions for this.

What files need to be copied where?

[Jared Atchison]

Currently there is no plugin that handles this (at the moment) for bbPress 2.x.

Anyone can write a plugin and contribute it to the WordPress.org plugin repo.

[wout_m]

I am also looking for this, because my users are complaining this is missing, since I converted my forum from the BBPress standalone version to the BBP2.0 WordPress plugin. Has any anybody an idea how to fix it?
