That does help, thanks. I was able to reproduce the issue using the “bbPress (Twenty Ten) theme by WordPress and bbPress teams”.

One observation is that the button does not appear on forum pages if your active theme does not include bbPress template files. For instance, switch to Twenty Eleven, and the button(s) no longer appear on your forums list page at /forums/

Still digging…

Is there any easy way to determine if this is BBPress specific code that would need to be updated, vs. the code for the BuddyPress Activity Stream? If I could at least narrow down that much, that might help me troubleshoot this on my own. Thank you!

Hi Spence. Ok just to be clear are you saying that if I have made no other alterations to the style.css file then if I add the code below to that file it should make it wide? Sorry I am a novice with WordPress and im just trying to figure out why this is not working. Thanks so much for your help;

/* bbPress Sitewide Forums – Optional – Make full width */

body.bbPress #sidebar {display:none;}

body.bbPress #main {width:100%;}

.bbp-forums {

width: 100%;

}

Have added the S2member plugin – it allows all the login customisation you’d want and more.

Although it’s a separate plugin to bbpress they works together and S2Member has great tutorial videos.

Hope this helps others.

The plugin was recently updated to version 1.4 – added more resource links, plugin support etc. — just check it out at:

Hello,

first of all, thank you for great WordPress plugin. I was very happy to find it. But I found really serious bug. As you know bbPress generate breadcrumb navigation, here you can find also link to home of all forums called forum, here should list of all forums. Scrren here http://imm.io/gnkh

In the pure instalation it was, but after few setting is this page really blank without table with list of all forums. http://imm.io/gnkU

I have this settings: http://imm.io/gnl2

Is problem somewhere in my settings or is it bug in your plugin?

Really thanks for all help.

OK… perhaps I’m a moron but I’m just trying to figure out how to get stuff up and running. I’m currently running a WordPress blog that gets a lot of traffic, self-hosted on a dedicated server, currently running the Thesis theme.

I am not wedded to the Thesis theme.

I want to add forums to my website and a social networking aspect, and from looking around it seems like bbPress and Buddypress are the best of the best. I want the move from my blog to the forum to the member area to be as seamless as possible (and the ability to run as many ads/same sidebar widgets/etc) as possible.

Where do I start? (I’m getting quotes from $2K-$15K, which really makes me feel like I ought to learn something before I engage a third party.) Do I start by learning about bbPress? Learning about Buddypress? Switching to a new theme (such as Genesis) and learning that first? Should/can I just add bbPress first and then add Buddypress later when time/money allows?

(Currently users do not have to log in to comment, so the forum will be the first time they have to do that.)

I had bbPress running for a while and obviously spam was a problem — is there some default list of plugins you need right from the getgo?

Sorry to ask such a basic question but every time I come to this forum I’m spinning in circles.

Thank you hugely for any guidance anyone can provide.

Thanks,

K

Doesn’t look like we’ll be receiving any responses from the creators. It looks like they have abandoned the project.

I’m sure they receive email notifications of replies to this thread, and there have been so many questions posed but they haven’t bothered to come in to reply. Even their website forum has been quiet.

I’m checking out another possible solution to bridge phpBB3 to WP. Its a plugin available at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-phpbb-bridge/.

I will be installing it as soon as I can squeeze a few hours in and hope it works.

Has anyone else tried this bridging plugin and care to give a review?

[micropat]

Looking into this.

On what theme(s) does the button actually output on any of the bbPress pages? Couldn’t yet reproduce with the default theme & configs.

[ilano]

I have installed bbPress into my WP site and the forum works great but I can not get widgets to show up on any of the forum pages. I have tried the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ plugin and have had no success. I really need to have widgets on my forum pages but can’t figure out what I’m missing.

Info:

– Version of WordPress : 3.3.1

– Version of PHP/MySQL : 5.2/5.1

– Version of bbPress: 2.0.2

Thanks!

Sorry, the code lines got broken but if you check the source pages you will see the difference.

Hi, I’m using the bbPress theme for Twenty Eleven by Stephen Carroll. Thank you very much for this work, it works just great. There is only one weird bug I have found (and I’m a bit suspicious of the fact that I couldn’t find anybody complaining about the same): the primary navigation bar won’t work.

If you go to http://espiral.org you can see it working. Just (Qué es espiral, Contribuye, etc).

But then if you go to http://espiral.org/foros only the links to full URLs work, the ones linking to WP pages don’t allow any clicks.

Looking at the source the problem is evident: no href parameter is given.

<li id="menu-item-160" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-160">Por qué espiral

vs

<li id="menu-item-160" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-160">Por qué espiral

How to fix this? Thank you in advance.

[Ed]

so, no news then?

anyone have some tips for other forums to try that work well with WP then?

[tomgrelier]

Hello I have two problems with my bbPress forum (2.0.2) :

– The style isn’t correct

– I’d like to have it in full width

Sorry if i didn’t explain good, you can see there, you will understand my problem :

– Version of PHP/MySQL : 5.2/5.1

Hi, I just went ahead and test out the bbPress, I created a sample post, I can see it in the forum view, but when I visit it, it somehow turn into a category or tag page listing, and I have no idea where the content went.

I guess I takes it for granted that all WP stuff works well in any language, but not this time around…

[Angela]

Anyone? I just need to have them converted so I can begin using bbPress

[Martin]

Thanks John.

I’m using the Mingle theme which can be seen in action on my site http://www.geekandjock.com

That said, the author has already indicated he won’t be supporting bbPress even though the theme does support BuddyPress. His response was it was a fair amount of additional work for him to also provide theming support for bbPress.

No idea if that statement is true or will still be the case with this additional theming support that’s being released ‘soon’.

– what is the first of it’s kind?

– I’m happy to help where I can but I’m not a coder. Have answered a few forum questions but I think I ask more than I can answer

[John James Jacoby]

No idea what commercial theme you’re using so its impossible to say. It’s also up to users like you that use totally custom themes to test how well it works with bbPress and report any issues you run into to the theme authors.

Remember that what bbPress is doiing is actually the first of its kind in the WordPress world, so the more you can help forge it early on is the better it will be and easier it will get.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks.

[LabSecrets]

Although I’m not clear as to what you may be doing, I can say that the easiest and most direct way to handle this is to modify the controlling css style sheet on your wordpress theme. In almost all cases, if you have not otherwise modified your config.php or other css references, this will allow you to override bbPress styles from your active wordpress theme (or child theme).

The bbPress theme files remain untouched… they are merely modified or styled by the wordpress style sheet. There are no markup changes in this example.

Trying to set up BBpress

I used the shortcode to create my own forum page at mysite.com/forum

However, once I go into the forum pages and topics it reverts back to the slugs that are in the bbpress settings.

I’m not sure what to do from here as I want to have my own forum page using the shortcode.

I tried to make my own bbpress.php file by copying the contents of my theme page.php file but I don’t really know what I’m doing or what that does..I read it might fix my problem

Help please!

[mirthen]

Looking around at various BB options for my wordpress site. The main feature i will be needing is an “application” page. Where a user(with or without an account, prefer with) can fill in various fields and then when they submit this, it will get posted to a certain forum with all their answers, where the proper people can discuss the application and voice their opinion to approve to deny it. In essence a way for people to apply to the forums/site. like a job application posted to the forums, and managers can discuss the application.

Its important that it is a page that gets posted to the forums, and it needs to have custom fields.

It can either be a custom user sign up page, where it submits the new user request to the forums, or something separate after the user signs up an account.

anything like this exist for bbpress?

[dayshabass]

Hi,

I am having a hard time navigating the forums as a lot of content no longer applies to v2, specifically plugin installation instructions.

Most instructions indicate I should be uploading to the BBPress directory and activating/managing in a BBPress Admin area, but I don’t see these options.

http://doommusic.net/forums

WP Version 3.3.1

BBPress Version 2.02

Can I still use the BB-specific plugins, but just upload directly to my wp-content/plug-ins directory for activation?

My current goal is to install some sort of one-click registration solution like Simple Facebook Connect and restrict participant access to the WP back-end. (Any recommendations would be appreciated)

Forum participants can just click, comment, and go.

Thanks for the help.

[martinclarke1]

It won’t have it im afraid. Does the WordPress theme always take prescedent over the bbpress theme? If so am I wasting my time modifing the bbpress css? What is the optimal way to have this structured?

Thanks again for your help.

[pau-bbp]

Hello.

I set up permalinks in WordPress like this:

%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%

but new topic in bbpress sounds like:

forum-topic/2012/02/New-theme-name

What am I doing wrong?

Thanx in advance.
