First of all very sorry if the answer to this has been posted already. I’ve been searching hard, honestly.

I’m no programmer and just flying by the seat of my pants with this bbPress plugin.

I initially installed the bbPress 2.02 plugin without a problem. I wanted to import my small forum from the stand alone (1.something). I started according to instructions but while de-activating present plugins I got the “white_screen”.

Obviously a plugin problem I renamed the plugins folder, made a new one, and figured I would re-install compatible plug-ins.

When trying to re-install bbPress and Akismet (most noteably) I still get the dreaded white screen when activating. Essentially there are several plugins, including bbPress, that I cannot seem to use anymore that certainly should be compatible.

I was using the bbp-twentyten theme at the time of the first white-screen when de-activating plugins. Not being able to activate bbpress 2.02 doesn’t bring in bbp-twentyten as an option anymore either.

Sorry I’m not being more specific but I’m really no programmer. I would hire one if I could afford it.

Any help is MOST appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

I reinstall BBpress but all is the same. If I´m an admin user all is ok. But others users no show anything.

All is public in BBpress configuration.

“Oh bother! No topics were found here!” is the return message.

Now I don´t have activated slug.

Regards,

Alex

Hi there,

I really need a forum plugin that will work in a WP multisite environment. bbPress is one of the few that I’ve tried that works, but my Theme is not compatible.

I also need a forum that if one ‘attaches’ a post that includes a featured image, that that image appears in the forum. bbPress seems to do that.

I’m using Atahualpa from BFA which I like because there is a very good interface to customize it with many many options.

I do not have the programming skills to do a lot of changes or writing of code from scratch, but I can certainly follow clear directions.

It’s really too bad that there doesn’t seem to be a bbPress interface for changing the look … Currently it’s using the default, which divides the presentation page 50% for user info; 50% for content…. Not really work’en.

Is there a plug-in that will give me a CSS menu to edit or a way to modify the template without being a programmer?

I would also like to be able to ‘turn-off’ the bbPress profile, since I would prefer that folks simply use the WP profile and not have to do stuff over again.

Can you help??

I can give you access to: masterclasses.icp.edu if it would help.

Thanks…

I have also renamed wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/single_topic.php and the page still loads, so maybe it’s not this the correct file for this ?

Hi.

I have installed bbPress on my WordPress and I’m trying to personalize it.

I have already personalized the forum page (where list of topics appear) by editing file wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php and it worked well.

However, I can’t personalize the topic detail’s page. I thing the entry point here is wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/single_topic.php so I added some html code in there but it doesn’t appear (even on the html code that navigator gets) when clicking on a title on the topic.

I’m stuck. Can anyone give me a clue ?

Thank you.

Hi,

I have a title big problem.

If I am a visitor:

Main forum webpage they can see 2 posts in one categories.

http://www.mundoferroviario.com/forums/

Well, if I push this category, Información general, return me “No posts available”, no themes here.

All categories in bbPress are public but to publish is necessary to sign up. But not for reading.

If I´m a registered user:

Give me the same error and I have the possibility to add a new post.

If I´m a admin user:

All is running normally.

I see all options in forum but I can see the solution of this problem.

Please can somebody help me?

Regards and thanks,

Alex

Is it possible to add some intro text to the forum archive page? I’ve set up a custom page called Discussions (client like that more than forums) by creating a page and setting BBpres to use that page slug.

What I’d like to do is enter some intro text however if I enter it under the page in WordPress it doesn’t come through. I tried adding <? the_content() ?> on the archive-forum.php page that I pulled into my theme here:

<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php bbp_forum_archive_title(); ?></h1>

<? the_content() ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/content’, ‘archive-forum’ ); ?>

</div>

But that seems to pull the content from the last listed forum.

Any way to do this?

Is there a search option in bbpress?

[dansaa]

You’re a genius. I had a page called forums for another plugin I tried. I deleted it but it was still in my trash. Once I deleted it permanently, the /forums/ link called for my bbpress instead of the trashed page!

Thanks!

I should note, the error was being spit out by bbpress… this isn’t a general WP question.

[ben_allison]

I tried to enable file caching, but I get an error from bbpress:

“Call to undefined function wp_cache_add_global_groups()”

I’m not trying to cache bbpress per se, I just want to cache my entire wp site that bbpress happens to be on.

Is there a better method than adding define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true ) and object-cache.php?

[dansaa]

My first post was marked as spam, not sure why. Maybe because I posted links to my forum??

Anyway, I’ll remove the links. This is what my post said:

Hey there! I just installed the bbPress plugin on a site I have been assigned to at work. Unfortunately, nothing is showing up at the index for the forum:

[link]

But when I link directly to a category, you can view what’s under that category:

Got any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

I deactivated bbPress without thinking because I wanted to try something and now I can’t use my site, have a beautiful white screen of death, I’m guessing it’s due to my having the bbpress integrated theme as active without the bbpress plugin being active…

Anyone know how to fix this!?

Nevermind, I panicked. Removed all themes except default and reset itself.

[lewismorgan2020]

How can I get it to work with a WPzoom template?

[Baichi]

Is it possible to find out where certain shortcode is in the actual bbpress code? In particular I”m thinking the code for bbp-topic-index.

The styling must be in the a file somewhere yeah? So why not have some sort of file map or layout so people could get in and play with it a little at their own peril?

Hi guys,

I’m running bbPress 2.1 (plugin) and put on my blog’s sidebar an RSS parser from forum. Problem is: when it gets an answer, the label starts with “Anwser to: Topic title” — in my case, since my site is Portuguese written, “Responder a: Topic title”.

I want to change this “Responder a:” for something shorter, like “Re:”. Do you guys have any idea where I change this behavior?

[]’s!

[gplana]

Hi.

This question is not about bbPress but about this site. I have edited my profile but I don’t see how can I change my picture (avatar). I tried on Internet Explorer and also on FireFox, but it looks like there isn’t a field for doing this.

Thanks.

Hello

I want to run Buddypress with a forum and I as wondering if someone can clearly explain to me the following;

1. What is the difference between the build in buddypress forums and the bbpress plugin?

2. What is the best way to install it so that both plugins sync and work together properly? Is there a set order they should be installed in?

Many thanks

Is it possible to move the content of an existing BBPress installation over to a different database?

Keeping users, passwords, posts and discussions?

I´m not too skilled with databases, but it looks like I can export and import in MyPHP Admin in Cpanel. And if doing so, will I still be able to keep the data on that other existing database as well?

I´m really stuck in a pickle here because when I installed BBPress 1.02, everyone was saying “screw migration”. And it simply didn´t work. So I had to install it on its own database.

Now if I want to convert to version 2, I need to have all the data on one common database.

[gplana]

Thanks a lot for your answer, John.

I agree, I think I will use forums (and forums categories) for canonical place, and I will try the WordPress categories taxonomy to do what I need. However, I have two questions:

1. Should I modify the core of bbPress for archieving this ? If I should, I don’t really like it because if a new version of bbPress is published then I won’t be able to upgrade easyly.

2. Does it already exist a plugin or something similar where this (using WordPress categories) is already implemented ?

Many thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

I understand now. No need to send anything, thanks for the offer.

Growing pains with any software are sometimes difficult, for everyone – users and developers. The process of moving bbPress into a WordPress plugin was not without its own. I am confident that the end result with today’s iterations is better than the previous, and hopefully your experience coincides with that.

[John James Jacoby]

Interesting. I’ll take a look, thanks.
