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!

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 ?

---

<?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.

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.

[charley777]

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 ?

[gplana]

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.

[upacific1862]

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?

[brian@foxxr.com]

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!
