Ben, I’ve had more success with the 2.1 development version, available as a zip at the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin.

All I have done is create a bbpress directory within my theme folder and in there copied in any files from pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytenbbpress that I wanted to modify. I have not moved any files out of the plugins directory.

I haven’t had much success with setting the css for bbpress from within my theme. In the end I ended up renaming pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencssbbpress.css to bbpress_master.css and creating a new bbpress.css in the same folder. Within this new file I have my modifications with the following as the first lines

/**

* bbPress specific CSS

*

* @package bbPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/

/* =bbPress Style

---

*/

@import url(“bbpress_master.css”);

I will need to be careful updating bbpress as I will lose my bbpress.css. Until I work out how to have css working through my theme it will do.

Hmm… just found this:

<i>”If you are the author of this theme, then you can copy all the files *out of* the “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into the folder of your theme, and make your own edits from there. The files to copy include the single-*, archive-*, page-*, and anything in the subfolders.”</i>

So is the best approach for me to copy the bbPress folder within bbp-twentyten into my theme, and add whatever forum or snippets or files I need to my theme files?

[ben_allison]

Here’s what I tried:

1) Copy bbpress theme folder into my theme

2) add “add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );” to my functions file

Nothing. I think I misunderstand how the bbpress theming system works. I thought it was more or less a “child theme” that bolts on to twentyten.

Are there files or snippets of code I need to grab from the bbp-twentyten theme?

FWIW, the site is running Buddypress, along side bbpress. I’m using the stock Buddypress theme, and my own Buddypress child theme.

Everything is working perfectly (forum is up and running, etc). All I’m trying to do is used a customized bbpress template so I have complete control over the forum markup.

Thanks!

Rookie mistake, I forgot to activate the TwentyTen bbpress theme!

[ben_allison]

Just wondering about this.

Is W3TC “safe” to use with bbPress 2.0?

[RVH]

I’m new to bbpress and I did it quite successfully in my first WP site last week. Now, I’m trying to set up a simple site for my wife using TwentyTen and bbpress is the only plugin.

When I go to create a new Forum page and I click on the Templates dropdown, only two choices exist Default and One Column.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi. I am using BBpress to add a community component to my mostly informational site. What I want is for my forums to:

1) be hidden from nonlogged in members;

2) require members to be able to login and check the 1 forum that I assign to them for updates, WITHOUT having access to someone elses forum.

Is this at all possible through an existing plugin or through some code modification?

I am using wp-members for registration/login stuff. That plugin does have the ability to lock access to pages and posts, but currently, I don’t use those features.

I am also using latest BBpress and WordPress software.

Thank you.

I’m working on a custom WP & bbPress theme for a client and I’d like to highlight what forums have had new posts added since the user last logged in. Is there a function that I can call that allows me to get this info?

I’m thinking something along the lines of this:

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

highlight icon

<?php else : ?>

don't highlight icon

<?php endif; ?>

Any help is appreciated!

i have done an extensive search on this manner but i have not found anything (so i am hoping its just user error!).

i am using the latest version of bbpress as a plugin with the latest version of wordpress.

I LOVE IT!

however…

i have a privet area (category) in the root of my forum with private forums within. sounds reasonable!

but when i navigate to my forum root, my privet category shows 0 topics and 0 posts (yes i have added topics and posts). even worse, when i click on my privet category, it just says “This category contains 0 topics and 0 replies.” and doesn’t show the forums that live there. (sadface)

even more curious, if a make one of the privet forums with in my privet category, public… then they all show up (both in the root and in the category view)!

this is the case for all roles and accessibility.

can anyone shed some light on what i may be doing wrong?

So I’m running a loop in my sidebar… on all pages, it works fine. For some reason, on forum pages and topics, the <p> tags created by the_content() get stripped.

In my page.php template, I reset the while have posts query.

Ideas?

[mohammadg]

Is there any solution for what eraleks mentioned?

[mohammadg]

Thanks for this! Really helped me out.

It took me a lot of trial and error, deactivating and activating of plugins to figure out what the problem was with my bbpress.

I don’t know what, why or how, but there is some problem between bbPress and Greg’s High Performance SEO. If Greg’s is installed, bbPress does not work – your forum root will seem ok enough…but if you click on any forum, the forum’s topic listing page will not list any topics, and the topic page will not show the discussion or any response options.

This is sad because I have come to like Greg’s High Performance SEO…but because I have decided, for many reasons, to move from phpbb to bbPress, I hope a fix is found soon.

[Ed]

ok, very sad though.

I was hoping that community support would be ramping up by now, with people releasing such converters etc. But it seems not to be the case.

I will just have to look to an alternative (vanilla?), as I can’t afford to pay for a conversion. Additionally, its not a good ‘entry’ into a new system – having to pay your way in. Doesn’t give the impression of a thriving support system.

Maybe I don’t fully understand the technical aspects, but if you guys can do a punbb>bbpress manual conversion, how difficult is it to convert those steps into a script for your future users?

Cheers,

Ed

Hello,

I decided to test out bbPress; unfortunately, I was unable to post a new topic in the first forum I created. I kept on encountering this error each time…

Fatal error: Call to undefined function akismet_get_user_roles() in …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-akismet.php on line 146

Is there any reason this is happening?

[zachshallbetter]

Unfortunately the site is internal, and like I had indicated there are not any other plugins installed at all. I’m unsure what to give you considering I’ve turned off everything and wiped the database. Anything more specific I can give you?

[cosfrog]

I am using Buddy Press with bbpress on a rockettheme wp site using gantry frame works (whew)

No I created a page with short codes, but when the bbpress slug is the same as the page it does not format correctly.

Also when I change the slug back to ‘forums’ that link does not work either.

You can see it at ppsdc.com/main-board (this is the page with shortcodes, shows fine now because slug is different)

meanwhile the slug link ppsdc.com/forums shows the unformatted page.

If I change the slug to main-board I get the same thing as the above sentence.

I used the forum list widget so you can actually get to a forum and see those pages are fine.

Any Ideas??

[Nirzol1]

hello

shortcode is good.

But how can I remove breadcrumbs plz ?

Because I use two shortcode :

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

And I have breadcrumbs for forum and an other for topic. Maybe make a shortcode like this is t possible ?

[bbp-topic-index breadcrumbs=false]

And are they way to say number topics to display ?

thx for help !

[John James Jacoby]

Will need way more specific information to be of any help. Links to sites, versions of WordPress/bbPress, etc…

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t know what ‘gform_full_access’ is, but it sounds like another plugin is interfering with bbPress’s role and capabilities. That, or it’s a bug. Will need you to figure out which it is and report back if it’s something we can fix on our end.

[John James Jacoby]

@patking76 – is this with the 2.1 re-release?

[John James Jacoby]

@MTPower – Age old WordPress and bbPress UX issue. Could use some ajax to make it easier. bbPress 2.0 solves this, and when we update bbpress.org it will no longer be an issue. (You could have also used the link in the upper left, but it’s easily missed.)

…why the heck is it so hard to unsubscribe to e-mail notifications of replies to topics? I had to make this post just so that my unchecking of “Notify me of follow-up posts via email” will register. It won’t register unless you hit the “Send Reply” button… What the heck.
