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

I have integrated bbpress in to my current theme. Everything is working great. I have only one issue.

The reply comment box is all white and the writing shows up white as well. Meaning that you can’t read the reply comments. This is site wide on forums and bb posts.

Any idea how to change this?

[HCharles Beil]

I have a WordPress Blog and want to link to a bbPress forum site through a button in the main menu of the blog template (Forex Titan). I can’t figure out how to do this. I change the html code but it changes back to the original WordPress permalink. Is there a plugin to change the link URL’s in the permalinks?

[patking76]

Not sure what happened but it was working fine before all of a sudden I started getting this error. Any ideas?

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bb_since() (previously declared in /home/patking/public_html/thefitnessking.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-last-topics/function.bb_since.php:11) in /home/patking/public_html/thefitnessking.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 447

[patking76]

I have integrated bbpress in to my existing wordpress and everything is working great except it’s impossible to read the comments stuff. The background is white and the writing is yellow and sometimes white which you cant read at all.

How do I change these colors

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi

In my case that user/pass was the same. Both places it says, that the user does not exists.

What could I do?

[physlab]

I recently installed bbPress and within hours it was spammed. Is there any way to delete unwanted messages? I ended up deactivating bbPress until I can figure out a solution. Any help on deleting unwanted posts on bbPress?

I recently added bbpress to my existing site. Everything is working good except the layout is kinda funky. The Sidebar looks stupid. Is there a way to remove this all together from bbpress pages? Or is there a way to adjust the width of bbpress on the bbpress pages?

See here

I’m also having the same issue. Images posted in bbpress are shown full size in the activity stream.

My understanding is that there is a define statement that can be added to wp-config to control this, but I can’t seem to track it down.

anyone know of a solution to this?

[johnmast]

I install bbpress and everything was fine except the bbp-topics box (I dont know if Ι said correctly)

Take a look here http://consoleon.gr/forum/playstation-3/how-to-ps3/

Everything is look fine but the layout of this box isn’t like other, it’s small.

How i can fix it?

Thanks in advance

And sorry for the bad english

Hi Guys,

I’ve got bbpress integrated into my site nicely but have just one irritating problem.

It cam about after I installed buddypress (which is now uninstalled and deleted)

If you take a look at our Forum Index – http://www.proteinsupps.co.uk/forums/ – you can see that the Page title for the index is showing as the ‘last created’ forum rather than ‘Forums’ which is was showing as prior to the buddypress installation.

I’ve uninstalled, deleted, deleted table rows in the database related to bbpress and reinstalled to no avail.

I know it’s not a massive problem, but it’s really irritating and would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thanks,

Tim

I’ve got a forum with over 5,000 posts. It’s stand-alone version of BBPress. Should I move to WordPress version (v2.1)? The reason I’d like to move to v2.1 is that I’d like to create pages in top menu (so there are WP pages + BB forum as one page).

[johnmast]

Hi to everyone!

I install bbpress plugin under http://consoleon.gr/forums/ but it’s look empty. But if someone go to a subcategory (http://consoleon.gr/forum/playstation-3/) he will see the the forums.

Why this?

[christap]

supporting info:

This may be a quasi-novice question but here goes. I currently set up bbpress on a page in wordpress. This page is password protected. I’ve installed bbpress on the page so that users who have this password can post as “guest” because this is a private/trusted community, rather forcing them to have to create a profile and login to use the forum.

dilemma:

If I copy and paste the url of one of the forums (e.g: http://www.example.com/page/forum/topic) to another user outside of the community, they are able to view that topic and post to it. I would love if there was a way to redirect all the bbpress permalinks to the main page (e.g: http://www.example.com/page/) in case they are not apart of the community (here is where the user has to plugin the password to access the content).

Man, I hope this was clear enough.

Many thanks in advance!

How did you get your bbPress forums to look so good with your theme? I got the bbPress plugin and couldn’t get my forums to format correctly at all. Everything was just white and a tiny font.

[giati01]

BBPress Login stopped working for everyone all of a sudden. I was removing and/or moving old topics and I removed two forums. In the middle of tiding forum it logged me out and now I can’t login again!

When I click “login” it redirects me to homepage (so do every user!). I can’t access /bb-admin/ either

Please help! It’s urgent!

PS

1. I went to PHPMyAdmin and hit “repair” on entire database but it didn’t change anything.

[John Conners]

Yeah, that’s right. Agreed, I assumed it would work too so figured I should check if I was missing something. Will have a look and see what’s going on.

[shooo]

I drop bbPress.

transposition is too complicated, it’s been five months is expected.

still no doc, no follow-up or help on the forum.

Worse this forum does not even seem built on bbPress 2.0.

I know it’s voluntary but it does not start on an adventure as important without resources and time.

bbPress seems still in beta.

[shooo]

Hi ,

@DiannaM668,

I try both plugin, but none is working properly.

phpBB converter from AWJunkies generates strange content for the link and images.

forumconvert does not complete the conversion and gets stuck in one place for no reason.

This plugin is no longer followed for a while now.

Do you see how it works? it created additional tables in the database to link up with tables currents bbPress.

If you have a problem later, you can not recover anything, the plugin no longer followed.

[John James Jacoby]

Assuming it’s a static page cache that isn’t being invalidated? Seems odd the post and meta update wouldn’t flush the object and query cache automatically.

[John Conners]

Is there anything I need to do to get the aforementioned caching plugins to invalidate topic pages, forum indexes and so forth when a new reply is posted?

I’ve tried both 2.0.2 and the latest bbPress plugin version from svn and as it stands, posting a new reply does not clear the topic page (or any other forum pages) from the cache so you and nobody else sees your replies.

Just wanted to check if it’s currently a bug / feature or I’m missing something obvious!

[mccawphoto2]

If I am logged in to bbpress and then in log in to wordpress when I return to the bbpress dashboard and try to do something it logs me out of bbpress. Also, if I am logged into wordpress and then log in to bbpress when I return to wordpress dashboard and to do something it logs me out of wordpress.

How do I fix this so I can go between the two and be logged into both?

[freequency]

I love bbPress for it’s simplistic design, but setting it up can be a bitch especially if you don’t care for standard sidebars & widgets like me, so:

Getting bbpress to work wonders is as easy as 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12!!

On 2012-01-19, this is what I did to originally setup my forums for a free wireless network:

0) Pre-clarification: [???] means some number, like twenty[???] means twentyten or twentyeleven

1) Downloaded most recent WordPress, setup database and installed it.

2) Installed bbpress:

go to http://yoursite.dom/wp-admin/ > Log in to admin > Plugins > Add New > search for “bbpress” > Install Now

3) Copied contents of bbpress theme folder to wordpress theme folder:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???] to /wp-content/themes

(this is done ONLY so that we can select the bbforums theme and it’s handy templates: Please note that you should only make modifications in the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???] folder NOT the /wp-content/themes/bbp-twenty[???] folder as the bbpress plugin will not read those)

4) Switched to the bbpress theme

Log in to admin > Appearance > Themes > under the “Available Themes” section I activated the “bbPress (Twenty [???])” Theme

5) Created my home page, login page, register page, and lost password page:

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Home” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – Forums (index)”

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Login” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – User Login”

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Register” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – User Register”

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Lost Password” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – User Lost Password”

6) Switched WordPress frontpage from the blog to my home/forums page:

Log in to admin > Settings > Reading > Front page displays > Clicked “a static page…” > set front page to “Home” (and left posts page blank)

7) Allowed New Users to Register

Log in to admin > Settings > General > Under Membership I checked “Anyone can register”

Created and Modified my header, footer, and sidebar files:

All theme modifications MUST be done within the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???] folder and not the folder you just copied to the wordpress theme folder as bbpress will only read files within in it’s own local plugin (see #3).

The theme doesn’t come with these files installed, so copy them from another theme like twenty[???]:

wp-content/themes/twenty[???]/header.php to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]

wp-content/themes/twenty[???]/footer.php to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]

wp-content/themes/twenty[???]/sidebar.php to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]

I then stripped them to my satisfaction making sure to keep WordPress’ header action hook, wp_head();, and then styled them accordingly.

One of the things I added to the header.php was my menu and such:

<?php

$text .= '<options>';

if(is_user_logged_in()) {

global $current_user;

get_currentuserinfo();

$text .= 'You are logged in as '.$current_user->display_name.'
Your Profile | Your Topics | Your Replies | Logout';

}

else $text .= 'Login | Register | Lost Password';

$text .= "
" . get_search_form(false);

$text .= '</options>';

echo $text;

?>

If a visitor is not logged in the above menu will show links to the pages I just created in #5, but make sure that the page_id matches the correct page. You can do this by checking the Permalink of that page:

Log in to admin > Pages > All Pages > select the page your interested in > notice the page_id in the permalink & make sure it matches in the header file.

If a visitor is logged in, it will show who you are logged in as, give you a link to:

your profile (/wp-admin/profile.php)

your profile (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic)

your posts (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply)

and a link to logout ( wp_logout_url() )

This menu will then print a search form.

9) Installed Search bbPress plugin:

Log in to admin > Plugins > Add New > search for “search bbpress” > Install Now

If you don’t do this, wordpress’ search form won’t search your forums.

10)wordpress avatars & bbPress Avatars:

As of 2012-01-19, the latest version of WordPress (and therefore bbPress) has Gravitars support built in. So, if you sign up at https://en.gravatar.com/site/signup, you can associate an email address with your avatar. And if you also use that email address as the one you used for your wordpress/bbpress account then bbpress and wordpress will automatically show that avatar associated with the email address you supplied to gravitar.

Simple Local Avatars:

If you’re like me, you don’t want to force your visitors to sign up with gravitar, so the simplest avatar solution I found was to install the “Simple Local Avatars” Plugin:

Log in to admin > Plugins > Add New > search for “Simple Local Avatars” > Install Now

An avatar section will now display at the bottom of your profile page at /wp-admin/profile.php

11) Consolidating bbPress profile pages

bbPress gives you the choice of editing your profile in two places, but since avatars only show up at /wp-admin/profile.php and not index.php?bbp_user=[???]&edit=1 we will consolidate the profile editing to just /wp-admin/profile.php . To do this, we add the follwoing code to the end (but before the ?> ) of the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]/functions.php file:

add_filter('bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url', 'my_bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url', 10, 0);

function my_bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url () {

return "/wp-admin/profile.php";

}

This basically overwrites the bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url function whereever it’s used.

12) I’m done! For now at least. Hope that helps. Those were the things I cared about.

I’ve managed to find the problem eventually, and it was not bbPress-related, but caused by qTranslate (multi-language support plugin) actually.

In case anyone comes across the same problem with the date, check this post out: http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2246
