Hi,

I have installed BBPress into my wordpress site – http://www.3hreedee.com

However at the moment it looks pretty blank, is there anyway of installing a theme to bbpress even though it is within a wordpress site? I have tried uploading themes into the FTP themes folder however cannot find anywhere within bbadmin that would allow me to install these?

My test link is here:http://www.3hreedee.com/forums/

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Dan

thanks for the help, not a bug in bbPress but translated into Czech, I used a different translation and everything works as it should

bbPress 2.x will work with any WordPress theme, some better than others.

[tony webb]

I forgot I’ll install the plug you recommended now.

[tony webb]

Thanks.

I’ve deleted your user account etc.

I did reply to a post earlier as they seemed to be experiencing a problem that I experienced. Asked them to switch to a bbpress theme. I might have a go at a few more once I’m up and running.

I’ll close this now.

[tony webb]

I’ve watched the video. I see what the problem is now;

I started at the forum level because I thought category was specific to wordpress. I need to move everything up one level.

OK, I had no problem registering for your site and creating a topic and a reply to my topic.

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/looks-like-a-nice-forum-setup/#post-594

also created a topic and reply via the top wp admin bar:

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/testing-topic-entered-in-top-admin-bar/

*Hope you don’t mind my creating the topic, but seemed best way to test it out.

As far as I can see everything is working perfectly.

*

One thing I would consider adding is a plugin by JJ

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/

This will remove the ability to create topics and replies via the top wp admin bar for all users except the super admin.

I am guessing that you are using the wordpress backend to create topics and replies (the screen that looks like the create posts).

Really even though you can do it that way, you are more supposed to create topics and replies on the front end of the website. It is confusing to users to click on the top admin bar and go to the wordpress backend to create topics and replies. That little plugin removes that.

Finally:

I can say that your forums are working correctly. To make things easier to understand install that plugin I listed so that your users can’t see the top admin bar to create topics and replies. They will then see the forums as more what they would expect.

Hope the info helps and best of luck

Oh I forgot. The bbpress forum that I am making isn’t in the menu. The one in the menu is symposium. I am hoping to change them over in the next day or so.

[tony webb]

I have created some forums and topics by working down the menu list;

new forum, new post and new reply.

There are 2 issues

1.

when I create a topic I write the header and the details on a page.

i.e. Topic header; finding out about Christianity

On the page I write a summery: post your questions about Christianity

This is the link to the page;

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/wp-admin/post.php?post=584&action=edit

2.

When I create a reply it seems to be appended to the topic page. No reply title is displayed. This concerns me as it would be very difficult for users to find the reply etc.

You can see this on this link;

http://what-do-christians-believe.co.uk/wp/forums/topic/your-questions-about-christianity-2/?preview=true&preview_id=584&preview_nonce=7d17eb9749

I’m confused because when I create a reply in the admin panel you use the page layout which includes a title. You don’t see this in the forum.

Tony:

I don’t have a lot of time to really dig through everything. I read through your old posts, and frankly I don’t know what the problems are. There really isn’t any true dedicated support for these forums. I pretty much just take a peek in here a few times a week and try to give some quick answers to what I think I can help with.

I would suggest watching the video:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-how-to-video

Beyond that, from what I am reading, you really may need to hire a developer to get everything straightened out. I wish you luck.

[tony webb]

Hi,

The forum is instalation

The topic is titled

Unable to display bbpress forum in wordpress

It says that it was posted 2 days ago. it was longer than that. I have resolved that problem.

[Anointed]

Not enough information provided for us to really help.

I would start by using the twentyten default theme and see if everything is working correctly when everything is setup pretty much out of the box.

If it does not work, then a detailed listing of the exact steps you took through install to where you are now would help. Also a link would be needed to at least have a clue of what is happening.

[tony webb]

I don’t know what theme you have but at the moment bbpress only works in theme twenty ten 1.2.

[Anointed]

It’s a custom theme built for the old 1x version of bbpress. It was never released.

[john9]

I have a WordPress 3.2.1. and bbPress 2.0.1

and in forum write this:

Warning: sprintf(): Argument number must be greater than zero in

xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx/web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 1690

What does this mean?

Thank you for super plugin.

[tony webb]

I unistalled bbpress a week ago but have decided to reinstall it.

I’ve set up a test forum, a test topic and a test post.

When I go to the test topic the content of my test post (not the title) is displayed underneath it. There is no link to the post page.

How do I get the post’s title to display under the topic so that if a reader clicks on it that it opens the content?

[tony webb]

I don’t know if my post has been hacked because the originator and tag information have been changed.

I posted on here 3 days ago although your notice board says 1 day. I’ve not received an answer and had another look today.

I noticed that the originator of the post has been changed to The North face jackets and the tags changed to LED Board, LED Display and LED screen.

The psoting affected is unable to display bbpress in wordpress. I have resolved this but I now have another problem with displaying posts correctly. I will post a new topic on this.

[soumailaadamou]

thank you for this video, it’s almost a guide

[Smatthee]

I think I may have figured it out.

If I add a topic through the WP dashboard it creates this wierd “comments are closed” thing, but if I add them directly through the blog it seems to work…

Strange.

[Smatthee]

Thanks for the post, it has been a great help!

I am still struggling to get the topics to work. When I click on the topic it has my description an then it says “Comments are closed.” and there is no way to post anything…

Have a look here: http://urbanbeeguild.org.au/?page_id=227

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks,

Simon

Yeah, the documentation is way out of date. What you are seeing is the docs to the old standalone 1x vs. of bbPress. There are a couple of sticky threads in the forums that will help to describe how to utilize the new 2x branch. Also you can find pointers throughout the forums. At the moment I don’t think there are any ‘real’ docs about 2x yet.

[AWCQ]

Sorry, I’m new to bbPress. I was referencing the docs found under the Docs tab at the top of this website.

I am using version “Version 2.0.1”.

I installed it through WordPress’ plugin installer, could that cause an issue?

[Anointed]

Sounds like you might be reading the docs for the old 1x system?

bbPress 2.0 does not have an admin panel as it does not need one, being a native WordPress plugin and all.

@Ed

Alex is out of the office for the weekend. I’ll ask him on Monday and report back. I talked to him on Wednesday and he said he was working on a new vs. but I did not ask what was being added.

*I do know that he offers custom created systems if you need it right away. There is a contact form on the bbconverter site to reach him directly.

Created a CubePoints module for bbPress this morning
