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.

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

[AWCQ]

I’m trying to get bbPress set up. I don’t see a way to access the bbPress admin mentioned below:

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums.”

I read somewhere it’s accessed by going to siteurl/bb-admin but that returns a page not found.

The forum is there and seems to work otherwise, however.

[Gustavo Coronel]

aun no esta la traducción al español de bbpress 2.1?

[Ed]

I hate to nag, but I would really like to know if this will work with punBB anytime in the near future?

If not, I will just move to a different system – my current setup is just spam infested – no punBB plugin can stop it. I really need to jump ship soon

[Jdamonte]

I’m sorry I see that its to add to .htaccess…thanks again, I’ll let you know how I go. CHeers

[Jdamonte]

Thanks for this info, can you also tell me where to place the re-write rules for the main site and sub sites?

[tony webb]

I have integrated bbpress in my wordpress account.

I have made a test forum, topic and post and wanted to see how they appear on the wppress forum page that I made. They don’t display even though I set the page category to forum.

What do I need to do to get my forum to display in wordpress?

If it helps – I have installed and activated the following plugins;

bbpress

bbpress integration

bbpress post toolbar

[Trobee]

I have a similar situation, although I will have forums on other subsites eventually, so I have it enabled over the whole site, but I only created forums on one subsite.

The only thing I think I had to do was set up rewrites in .htaccess from all other subsites and the main site to view user profile pages.

For the main page:

RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

For subsites:

RewriteRule ^[subsite]/users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

Also, I am using the “Move Privacy Options” plugin to make the subsite private, and I noticed that the bbpess rss feeds are not private. I am currently woking on fixing this and so far this is what I have got, which is by no means perfect.

You will need to find the functions bbp_display_topics_feed_rss2 and bbp_display_replies_feed_rss2 in bbp-topic-functions.php and bbp-reply-functions.php respectively, and add this code to the beginning of each fuction

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

exit;

}

$user = wp_authenticate($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);



if ( !$user || is_wp_error($user) ) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

}

Which should limit who can read the rss feeds to people who have a login to your wordpress site.

Hi, I am trying to set up the bbpress forum as private on a subdirectory of a multi site and am not sure of the most practical approach. If I enable it on the subsite I can’t make the pages such as login, register, lost p/w etc. as the templates don’t show on the sub-directory only on the main site.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.
