Neolo7, try setting your permalinks to something other than default. You should at least have %postname%.

To add /forums/ to your menu, use the custom links option. Or create a page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, then add that page to the menu.

There is a glitch that is not bbpress related, but rather it’s custom post types related. If you theme relies on the class “current_page_parent” to highlight the current page, WordPress things any post type should keep your blog page highlighted, if you have one. Here’s a piece of code you can drop in functions.php to help:

// fix menus

function support_menu_item($menu){

global $post;

if (get_post_type($post->ID) == 'forum' || get_post_type($post->ID) == 'topic' || get_post_type($post_id) == 'reply')

{

$menu = str_replace( 'current_page_parent', '', $menu ); // remove all current_page_parent classes

$menu = str_replace( 'menu-item-169', 'menu-item-169 current_page_parent', $menu ); // add the current_page_parent class to the page you want

}

return $menu;

}

add_filter( 'nav_menu_css_class', 'support_menu_item', 0 );

Be sure to change “169” to the id of your menu item.

I just installed fresh latest WordPress + latest bbPress + several plugins (I have deactivated now) + Members plugin (a role manager plugin).

Create new roles of

– Forum Newbie

– Forum Member

The problem is when I trying to manage limit access to specific forum / post’s content it not work.

As sample for Forum A I limit access only to Admin, but others still can get it. Anyone have this problem before? I still trying some possible solutions.

bbPress 2.x doesn’t use the my-templates folder. 2.x uses the same theme your WordPress installation uses.

Basic question: Now that everything is installed and I’ve created my first forum (Welcome), where is my forum site? I’d like to point to it in my blog menu. Thanks

Just a note… I installed ver 2.1 (over the 2.0.2 install) of bbPress and I’m getting the same error.

[jcarlson1701]

Hello.

I just installed the bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on my newly installed WP 3.3 site. Upon activation of the plugin I get the error:

“add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead”

I assume that this is an incompatibility with the PHP calls from the plugin to WP since ver. 3.3 depricated a lot of old PHP scripts.

Is there a way to fix this or at least have WP stop complaining about this?

Thanks!

Turns out I had a nesting issue, the above approach seems to work fine:

if(get_post_type() == ‘forum’ OR get_post_type() == ‘topic’ OR get_post_type() == ‘reply’) {

//user is viewing a forum page

}

[phrough]

Is there a function (or other method) available to determine if the current page is a bbpress related page (forum, topic, reply or other)? Something along the lines of the wordpress function is_page()

It would seem that bbPress uses custom post types, and I’ve tried this with no luck:

if(get_post_type() == ‘forum’ OR get_post_type() == ‘topic’ OR get_post_type() == ‘reply’)

Thanks

Testing this now, not having any weird compatability issues. I use a child theme of twentyeleven I made. I did notice however that I lost alot of css customizations on the forum. Did you go go with a tableless layout or something?

I only mention it because I was using forum Icons on the main forum page, and it’s kinda hard to position them now. Not a big deal or anything.

Hi. I’m trying to install this super awesome forum, but I think installation tutorial too short for me.

OMG1# Plugin activated, where is forum located??? http://mysite.com/forum http://mysite.com/forums – 404! Test forum been created in settings. Wtf?

OMG2# Found only this link working for just created forum http://mysite.com/?forum=test-1 But where is general page? Where is promised installer written in docs?

OMG3# NGINX on server, what next? Guess this is a main problem. And this: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mu-wordpress-bbpress-integration-with-nginx-rewrites#post-11686 seems not what should be because forum in /wp-content/pluging and this

“

location /forums/ {

root /home/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/forums;

index index.php;

“

for what?

At this moment my forum is completely unuseable.

Thank you.

I’m thinking to merge the WP + BuddyPress + bbPress, but just maybe it still need more time until everything is smooth in integration.

I will follow this thread.

I would like to say thanks to for the latest bbPress release, but there is many way to get it the way I want it.

[Themes Support]

Interesting I just started bbPress site and someone already left it behind. I believe in bbPress powers and I will still dig into it.

Actually I see it is only super-admins that can edit their profile via the forums/user/username link from the frontend. I am using the default twenty ten bbpress theme. I note that if I embed the bbp-your-profile form then I see the form okay but on post it submits to the edit page, which updates but quickly then redirects back to the user page. This way my user won’t see any error messages.

Does anyone know where I can override the super-admin restriction which prevents non super-admin users from going to the profile edit page (forums/user/username/edit)?

Thank you

@shooo, that was my solution. “^?” means any one character in a string. I had to repair the database sql file. One bbcode tag after another. Well, It works and looks ok now but it’s a lot of work.

Some bbcode tags had to be replaced with <span>. I don’t know if it is possible to define custom bbcode tags in wordpress. So I had to replace all with “<span class=”size150″>”, etc.

Rest of the tags work fine thanks to “bbPress2 BBCode” plugin.

I’ve got another question,

How to change parent forum for many topics ??? It would take ages to move topics one by one when there are hundreds and thousands of them.

[Crisium]

I’ve been battling with wordpress to get bbPress and buddypress to work on them by wordpress bbpress team…

and nothing works as you would expect.

I’m using the BuddyPress Default 1.5.2 theme which gets the most part of BuddyPress working.. them I try to install the site wide forum option (inside the BuddyPress Menu) and nothing works.

I get a messages that your current them doesn’t support the templates needed by bbPress… so I install the BuddyPress Template Pack and do the manual movement of files because it can’t copy them.

I still get the message “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

only problem is that nothing is shown in the forums.

see for yourself at http://www.powertumbling.dk

can anyone “clearly tell me what I should do”… I’m amazed that the people that create wordpress can mess up so much with bbPress and BuddyPress

Hello everyone,

I’m new to this – and not an experienced coder – so I apologise if what I write doesn’t make much sense.

I’ve just taken over running our internal forum in my job and it’s a bit of a mess. We’re running bbPress 1.0.2 and we don’t really have much set up. For example, only admins can create new threads.

Anyhow, I’m trying to install a plugin to enable me to create user groups and levels of permission. Here’s the plugin link – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

I can download the plugin but can’t find anywhere to install it. Can anyone help please? I’d be very grateful!

Thanks, and a happy new year to you all,

StevieBee

Hi please can you assist. For some of my users the default edit profile link in BBpress does not work. It simply refreshes to the same page without going to the user/edit link. Yet for some of my users it works fine. I don’t see any relationship between those that can and those that can’t, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am using the plugin version of 2.02 with latest wordpress in MU.

[AWJunkies]

I am back guys from christmas/wedding/hunneymoon/ and new years. I will respond when I catch up here.

[Feesir]

I set up bbPress on a website today and where the topics are displayed it is blurry. I’m wondering if this is because of my theme, or a plugin resizing the content or something. You can see what I’m talking about here: http://masternate.us/forums/forum/baseball-pros-academy/

Any and all help will be much appreciated.

[Jamie S]

And what if there was no need for forum segregation at all? It appears topics don’t require a forum once they are deleted, but editing and replies aren’t working afterwards. Does/will bbPress have a setting where the forum custom post type can be disabled?
