I downloaded bbpress because the bbpress.org looked so nice. This is exactly the look I want in my forum. When I load the bbpress that I downloaded, it doesn’t look anything like this.

I am so bummed. I’m not a great coder, so if it’s going to involve a lot of php work, I’m out of luck.

My site is running WP 3.3.1, with the Twenty Eleven theme. Is there anything I can put my hands on to get a forum that looks like this one?

I downloaded the bbpress plugin for wordpress. Now I’m receiving this message: Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

How do I fix this?

[Jared Atchison]

You can delete it and see if that helps, that will deactivate bbPress.

Right now it seems it is still active by looking at http://www.tracidmitchell.com/forums/

Jared,

I looked back at my ftp again. There is a secondary wp-content file that contains a secondary plugin file – and bbPress is in it. Do you suggest I delete those? Or should I rename the plugin file? It would make sense to delete it, but not sure that would remedy the problem. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Traci

I am having an issue getting custom profile fields to work.

I have used the following code as a wordpress plugin and a bbPress plugin:

function set_my_profile_info_keys($myarray) {

$myarray = array(

‘testfield’ => array(0, __(‘TestField’))

);

return $myarray;

}

add_filter(‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘set_my_profile_info_keys’);

However this doesn’t show the field on a users profile to allow them to edit it. I have also tried other variations of this code I have found on this forum and others but to no avail.

Any help getting this working would be much appreciated.

I have to agree with thruxton, this all may sound like elementary settings to you tech guys but to a newb…its wierdly complicated to set up.

I have a Themeforest template I installed my self on WP in less time LOL.

I also agree that bbpress looks like a great set up, and still very much want to run it. Im not a quitter

so far I set up a forum page, made 5 topics with test text, added a link to my menu’s and sidebars (all while signed in to my WP site) not my bbpress persay…thats my issue, I cant seem to set up this log in page, I have no clue what this URI is

instructions say “make a log in page” yet there is no such thing in BB as a “page”.

So I then made a WP page and called it forum. and the log in shortcode worked! except it would let me make a log in??

Then I wondered how the BB forum I previously made with 5 topics, was to get linked up with this new WP page called “forum”

I bin up one side and down da udder with this thing, couple hrs a night after work for the last 3 days!! geeeez I feel re taw did

There…I feel better now that I vented…wife doesn’t wanna hear it

[ExtremeSoccer]

thanks. that cleared up a lot of issues I was getting with the plugins on this stie.

[Jared Atchison]

Yes, it is still being maintained.

The plugins listed on bbpress.org are for bbPress v 1.x.

The current version of bbPress is 2.0.x and the plugins for it can be found on WordPress.org

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress

Eventually the plugins listed on bbpress.org will be archived to help avoid confusion, but the bbPress project is very much alive

Has anyone tried this fix? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-posts-found-out-of-nowhere-seem-to-be-gone

How do i put my forum link on my buddypress menu.? I want it right after the home and before activity tab.

[Anetz]

Hi, this thread seems quite old but I cudn’t find any help elsewhere. Here am trying to setup a new site http://anetz.in

i have installed bbpress and am using buddypress with its default template or theme {disabled group forums to use bbpress as stand alone}.

I have created my forums and the bbp settings are,

*forum base:forums

*slug:forum

tried creating a page named forums bt nt working. Please help me

[mrraine]

exactly the same for me, its driving me crazy and i have put already alot of time into getting bbpress going.

Bbpress is definatly the best looking wp forum but damn its doing my head in!

[ExtremeSoccer]

I am curious because there are A LOT of plugins that have not been updated in years and no longer work with the current bbPress. Why are they still listed? There are even some plugins that go to a 404 error page? Curious if bbpress is still being maintained…

Noticed something new at composthere DOT com

First tier? forum topics are visible. See About Compost Here and how it works

bbPress shows that a topic is posted in

Home › Forums › Compost Bin Available › Canada

but in

Home › Forums › Compost Bin Available › Canada › Vancouver, BC area

the error message appears.

Could that be a factor?

[solarpower]

bbPress says its there:

thanks for the link. I understand.. will try my best to get it done myself.

I’m not used to bbpress and wordpress coding.. will get used to it.

Thanks a lot for all the help and guidelines.

[Jared Atchison]

Sorry I do not have time to provide you with the exact code.

However as jjj already said there are tons of examples on Google.

http://ottopress.com/2010/wp-quickie-kses/

[Satish]

ok..

as Guatam suggested, I added the following code to my function.php file

add_action('bbp_init', '_bbp_allow_pre_tag', 10);

function _bbp_allow_pre_tag() {

global $allowedtags;

$allowedtags = array( 'name', 'class', 'id' );

}

but still its not working.

Can you please directly give me the code I need to paste into my function.php file ?

I need to allow pre tag with following attributes to it name=”code” class=”c”

so basically I must allow “pre” tags with “name” and “class” attributes.

[Jared Atchison]

No you should not edit core (*ever*), you should use the filter that is available in the code you just posted bbp_get_allowed_tags.

You need to look into filters https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

[Satish]

got something inside bbpressbbp-includesbbp-common-template.php file.

/**

* Output all of the allowed tags in HTML format with attributes.

*

* This is useful for displaying in the post area, which elements and

* attributes are supported. As well as any plugins which want to display it.

*

* @since bbPress (r2780)

*

* @uses bbp_get_allowed_tags()

*/

function bbp_allowed_tags() {

echo bbp_get_allowed_tags();

}

/**

* Display all of the allowed tags in HTML format with attributes.

*

* This is useful for displaying in the post area, which elements and

* attributes are supported. As well as any plugins which want to display it.

*

* @since bbPress (r2780)

*

* @uses allowed_tags() To get the allowed tags

* @uses apply_filters() Calls 'bbp_allowed_tags' with the tags

* @return string HTML allowed tags entity encoded.

*/

function bbp_get_allowed_tags() {

return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_allowed_tags', allowed_tags() );

}

what should I do with it inorder to make pre tag allowable.

I feel like, editing the core isn’t a good idea.

Is there a way to handle this via my template ?

Can you please give me the code that I must paste inside my function.php file to allow <pre name="code" class="c"> to my forum members.

[Satish]

I’m not able to find the file, in which this bbp_get_allowed_tags is present..

[Jared Atchison]

Yes, its definitely possible. You will need to make a backup of you all your files and a backup of your mySQL database.

You will need to change the DB depending if the domain will be the same or not.

[Jared Atchison]

What version of bbPress?

[Jared Atchison]

You can filter it using the bbp_get_allowed_tags filter bbPress provides.
