Hello.

I like the design and layout of bbpress.org very much – main page, fonts, forms, etc.

Does anyone know what the theme it is using?

Thanx in advance.

Hi Martin!

Keep in mind that any CSS you run on your main theme, or child theme, will also apply to the core bbPress files as well, so long as you have structured your site properly. As such, you can apply the suggested body class of “.bbPress” and you will be able to modify the content area and sidebar to make a page full-width as we show.

1) I use Smultron or Komodo Edit, but also like Sublime Text;

2) The message you see is, I believe, removed in the latest update to bbPress. Otherwise, just ignore it… (it can be suppressed by adding a line in your wp-config.php file… but why bother as I think it was mentioned here that they are updating this out?)

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I am using bbpress 2.0.2 on the latest version of wordpress.

I have added in bbpm by uploading it to my wordpress plugin file through ftp. I can see it in my installed plugins under the wordpress dashboard, but when i try to activate it I get the following error:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in /home/lifeafte/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20”

I looked through the forum and found some suggestions of adding bbpm into a “my-plugins” folder under the bbpress folder, but I have done this, after creating the folder, but cannot see that one anywhere in my wordpress dashboard.

I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you.

Hello,

I am using bbpress 2.0.2 plugin on the latest version of wordpress.

Is it possible to add in custom fields, to add in postcodes for example, into the registration process for users of the forum?

I have looked through previous threads and feel they are all too old to answer this question for the new bbpress plugin.

Many thanks for your time and help with this.

How can I add one or more extra fields to the registration form in bbpress 2.0.2?

I want to add a textarea where prospective users can write their reason for joining the forum.

[wptanz]

I would like to know whether it is possible to do the following with bbPress:

Have a forum with two administrators who receive a weekly digest of all the the new activity for that work.

Normal users that would also be able to receive a weekly digest of all the new topics, without the need to subscribe to them.

During the subscribe process, the ability to add more fields, some optional and others mandatory, that would only be visible to the administrators of the forum.

Have the forum locked only to registered members, but have some topics that are available also to no registered users of the site.

I’ve given up on using BBPress, and installed phpBB instead. Was having too much trouble customizing it for my needs. phpBB has alot more functionality that I needed and was easier to administer.

No more need to reply to this post. Consider it closed.

[ianhaycox]

I don’t know the solution and I have not tried but to get you going try this:

Using FTP or your hosts control panel file manager edit the file,

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

and change the first line from:

if ( !class_exists( ‘BBP_Twenty_Ten’ ) ) :

to

if ( false && !class_exists( ‘BBP_Twenty_Ten’ ) ) :

That should stop the fatal error and you can log in. From there you could at least deactivate bbpress or change themes etc.

Don’t forget to remove the ‘false &&’ section later.

Ian.

I still didn’t manage to get bbPress translated from English. Is it enough to set the WPLANG in wp-config.php or do I need to change some other settings?

[mubarakahmad]

Hi Spence,

Thanks very much for your post. The video really helped. I still have one question though which is about the part where you modify the forums to default to full width.

1. What CSS editor are you using?

2. I installed a CSS editor plugin and when I insert the code you used I am getting the message

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

How can I fix this so it does what I want?

[tourdecartes]

This bug only affects the forum on my site nothing else, so im positive that it comes from bbpress.

On a couple of my forums, only some of my topics/posts are showing and users cannot create new topics. It’s like the page doesn’t load completely cause i cannot see the sidebar of my site either…

other topics/posts are showing perfectly (no sidebar pb either). Users can post and everything.

However, everything is available through the admin panel.

I tried to twitch things earlier but it got things worst: for an hour 3 of my forums stopped showing on the “/forums” page. (and now its back for some reasons…)

Would anyone knows why this issue happens? and why the forums/topics/posts reappears sometimes after disappearing (and sometimes not)…

It’s a bit difficult to explain so here is the exemple:

Ex: http://www.tourdecartes.com/forums/topic/recherche-dun-mouvement : this post doesnt show anymore – only the header and the title shows.

http://www.tourdecartes.com/forums/topic/probleme-pour-labonnement : this one works perfectly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I assumed that the new plugin version of bbpress would share tags and rss with the host wordpress install. Turns out it’s not the case as far as I can see — bbpress has it’s own list of topic tags separate from the main wp install, and posts do not go to the wp rss, but rather /forum/rss.

Is there any plan to integrate these someday?

Hello everyone

new to all this so appologies if this is very simple and obvious to fix

Basically I installed the bbpress plugin yesterday and got it working, then this morning I ran the auto set up functions after having already made some pages so I linked them via the options.

Due to the auto page maker it made extra pages that i wanted to delet and thus did so on the page editor. however the pages I linked didnt show front end but did back end???

also pages I deleted still showed front end??? when clicking on them the browser just went blank.

so now reaching this impass i decided to uninstall that is when i got this message

Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in /hermes/waloraweb043/b1820/pow.pressstartvgca2/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 32

and now when ever you go to the site this is what you see

http://www.pressstartbc.com

I dont know how to get around this as I cant log in etc

do i have to go back to my server and just take worpress off and reinstal the whole thing?

All help much appreciated

thank you in advance

Hey everyone,

I’m currently building a wordpress theme and want to integrate BBPress within it. However, I’m having a lot of trouble just getting my head around some basic principles!

1) Once installed, how do I edit the Buddypress template files? How can I adapt my current, custom theme so that I can alter these template files?

2) How does a user register?

3) How can I create a log in system for my users? Is this even possible?

Thankyou for your help! I’m really struggling here!

[solsikkehaven]

load_text_domain is used in bbPress instead of load_plugin_textdomain – codestyling localization plugin reports….some filter and actions won’t be executed anymore…. “please contact the author”

Done.

[thetalltree]

Ok was able to display the messeger IDs as well:

<?php echo bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘yim’ ); ?>

<?php echo bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘jabber’ ); ?>

Now I jst want to figure out how to add a custom field like facebook ID? Any help appreciated.

[LabSecrets]

They are essentially the same, as the bbPress plugin is installed via buddypress upon demand.

We’ve done a little tutorial video to show how you can setup either a BuddyPress Group Forum, a SiteWide bbPress 2.0 Forum, or a custom hybrid forum page using shortcodes. You can have all three at one time. Hope this helps

hi,

please how can i add a new loop template ?

---

explication :

---

in :

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

it load the template : loop-topics.php

exemple i need to do a copie of this template : loop-topics2.php

i will use :

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/loop’, ‘topics2’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

but i do not work !

[thetalltree]

I was able to display website address in the profile by adding the following code to the ‘user-details’ file: (located under ‘bbpress > bbp-themes > bbpress > user-details.php’)

<?php echo bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'user_url' ); ?>

But I am not able to do the same to display a user’s yahoo messenger, gtalk and AIM handles.

Also is there a way to display a user’s facebook page?

[thetalltree]

Hey guys, I have been searching for this info for nearly 2 days now without much luck.

I would like the user’s profile to show his website URL and his Messenger details (AIM, Yahoo etc.).

Currently the profile only shows the user’s name and the ‘description’.

Is there anyway to force the profile to display these additional details?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you find something that actually works properly with bbPress, please do let us know.

[Martin]

Can I ga confirmation that the next version release of bbPress is going to try its darndess to work with my commercial WP theme so I (hopefully) don’t have to bother with all the hacking I look like I need to do, at the current moment?

That would certainly be a total godsend if that’s the case. Anyone confirm this as well as successes with commercial themes too?

And lastly, what’s the release roadmap on 2.1?

[Grabinark]

I’ve recently added the elegant and hugely popular (2 million+ downloads) Lockerz Share button (links to Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to my WordPress site and it’s doing a splendid job on pages and posts, but sadly it’s mucking up my bbPress forum page something horrible, with the button appearing underneath the name of each forum and double-spacing everything in the process. I built the page using the forum-index shortcode.

Having a share button in this location (or rather having multiple buttons, one per forum name) makes little sense as few people will want to share the name of a forum, so I’d like to remove it.

The Lockerz readme file tells one that to remove a button from individual posts and pages: “Insert the following tag into the page or post (HTML tab) that you do not want the button to appear in: <!--nosharesave-->“

I’ve tried adding that tag (without the quotes) to the top of my forum page using the HTML editor, but it don’t work (the share buttons still appear under each forum name), so my question is: Can someone tell me the bbPress page or file name to which this tag should be added?

I realize this is a bbPress support forum and not one for Lockerz, but on the off-chance another bbPress user has come across the same problem I thought I’d ask (I would have started with a Lockerz forum, but there doesn’t seem to be one).

If I can’t solve this problem I’m going to have to ditch the Lockerz share button and replace it with something that works better with bbPress — suggestions welcome.

Here’s the button I’m using: http://share.lockerz.com/ .

Hi, I successfully installed BBPress 2.0.2 to my wordpress site using the plugin. I got the forum to work, however, I’m trying to change the theme and I don’t know how. The default BBPress Twenty Ten theme isn’t working, it says it’s broken, maybe that’s because I’m using XAMPP and localhost? In addition, in my wordpress dashboard, it says Theme is using default bbPress styling, but there is no option THERE to change it. Rather, I was trying to change it in the Appearance tab, but no matter what I did i could not get one of the themes I wanted to show up in that tab.

I want to be able to use themes from http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes , are these outdated or can I still use them? I’m not exactly sure if my file structure is right, is the base directory for bbpress xampphtdocsmy site namewordpresswp-contentpluginsbbpress ? And do I need to learn how to make child themes? I just want to be able to use the really nice themes from the above site on mine. Thank you kindly for any help.
