I’m also experiencing this problem. Having installed the bbPress plugin (2.02) on my WordPress site, I’ve managed to get almost everything working. However, when I try to view a User Profile (http://site_url/users/username) I get a 404 error – but only for ‘Forum Participant’ members (not admins).

I do not have any other membership plugins installed. It happens for members created without spaces in their usernames (which was one suggestion), and it happens even if I switch off the “prefix forum area with forum base slug” and recreate the forum, as suggested here.

Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: one other point, and it’s an odd one, even though the page shows a 404 error in the headers, it displays fine in Chrome and Opera. However, it does not initially display in Internet Explorer 9 and shows a browser 404 page, but it does show up after two refreshes (though not 1). Go figure.

Hi All, I have installed bbpress and have managed to create forum sections and even post topics from wordpress admin page. However, when I try to access the topic both as an admin, regular user or non logged in, I receive “comments are closed”. Any ideas?

many thanks

Hi

I’m still playing around with bbpress/buddypress on my test site wpthemetrial.com. I know I’m doing something fundamentally wrong, so can I please get help.

I originally copied all the bbp-twentyten files into my active theme and manually edited the files like archive-forum.php, archive-topic.php to get these pages how I wanted them to look.

However, how do I setup my forum homepage to use the page-front-topics.php template? When I create a WP Page at wpthemetrial.com/forum the bbpress automatic page using the archive-forum.php file always overrides it. It says “Archive Slugs

Include custom root slugs to prefix your forums and topics with. These can be partnered with WordPress pages to allow more flexibility.”

but I can’t get it to work.

For now I’ve inserted ‘forumbb’ http://wpthemetrial.com/forumbb/ and ‘topicsbb’ http://wpthemetrial.com/topicsbb/ as my archive slugs, but I’d really like to use my WP custom pages, http://wpthemetrial.com/forum/ and ttp://wpthemetrial.com/topics/ as they are easier to update and manage.

Thanks

EB

Did you follow the steps at the end of this thread?

Hard Seat Sleeper, are you referring to Anointed and AWJunkies, or the phpBB-WP bridge fellows whose link I shared in my post?

At any rate, I have moved on from this bbconverter. I have wasted quite a few months and effort waiting for answers to my problems from AWJunkies. Too bad he isn’t willing to finish what he started.

Hi,

I’m setting up a forum using bbpress in a WordPress website that will only be available when people are logged into the website.

At the moment if you are not logged in the person can see the forum page and the notice to say how many topics are there but can’t actually see the topics. You can only see the topics when logged in as an admin. While I test everything I do want topics to be seen when not logged in. Once everything is finished, I will need users that are logged in as subscribers to see the topics (which they can’t currently)

I haven’t ever used bbpress before and this is a custom theme I have built so I’m sure it is something I have done wrong. When I installed bbpress, I did need to copy all of the files from the twentyten theme into my own to be able to see any of the forums. The file I copied was: plugins / bbpress / bbp-themes / bbp-twentyten

Is there something obvious I have missed?

You can see the issue here:

I am using WordPress 3.3.1 and bbpress 2.02

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

I have the same problem!

someone can help us?

[Pavel Ungr]

I create the page with the same name an into it I inserted short code [bbp-forum-index].

[Low Blood Pressure]

congratulations! i met the same problem. How do you solve it?

[Pavel Ungr]

Problem solved,

[prog5]

I want created a new menu in the Admin Menu Editor, show topic no-reply, so I set this URL is not intended to replace it. “edit.php? post_type = topic & no_reply = yes” to the edit.php file to get the Query to do what I must do it out of the Query, but WordPress is a SQL statement to display correctly. I know that I can put it on edit.php.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

ebiznet88 – even trying to hire these fellows is not easy. They rarely respond to any emails, even for paid work. And when they do, they seem very disorganized. Maybe they are just busy?

I suggest you move on.

Hello,

For now here are the issues:

bbpress plugin installed on jan27 with Minimatica theme.

since a week and a half:

– more and more forums/posts/topics are disappearing: showing only in the admin panel but not on the user end (or only partially with no sidebar/footer/admin bar).

– users can actually post in some forums but not in affected forums/topics/posts.

– admin bar not showing in the “user” tab in the admin panel.

– wordpress backup not backing up the website.

What i did:

– checked and repaired all the database to insure they were ok.

– uninstalled wp super cache and installed quick cache

All the issues are still here… I’m running out of things to try…

Anyone have ANY idea? Maybe I should uninstall and reinstall bbpress?

[micropat]

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…

[Larry LaSalle]

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!

[martinclarke1]

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.

[David Decker]

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

Thanx, Dave

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.
