Just to clarify a few things:

I further updated my local bbPress plugin to 2.0.1 (as on dev and live) and it continues to work fine. The issue still remains on dev and live though.

Our forum landing page consists of the template parts content-archive-forum.php and content-archive-topic.php.

content-archive-topic.php calls form-topic.php – we’ve used js to show/hide the form (or in this case the error message) when the “New Topic” button is pressed.

The issue only occurs on the forum landing page – adding a topic to individual forums works fine.

If it will help you can check out one of the sites here: http://homemag.co.za/

Login with facebook on the landing page, and then go to http://homemag.co.za/forums (we’ve temporarily hidden the menu item).

Thanks,

Iain

Hi all,

I am looking into possible ways to rank forum topics via user ratings, ie, a feature request forum where users can vote on if they want the features suggested in each topic. I have been looking at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/screenshots/ which claims it has bbpress support, but I cannot find out how to set it up. Has anyone trued this before or know of other possible rating plugins

I just tried a fresh install of wordpress and bbpress in a test subfolder, and IT’S WORKING ! What did I do to my main install ?

Hi guys

I am running WordPress 3.2.1 bbpress 2.0.1 single site, platformpro theme.

After several installs and reinstalls of the bbpress plugin while not working, I think the settings are persistent to the database and maybe in some other places, which makes the reinstalls not effective. What should I do ? Empty the bb_ tables in my database or simply drop them ? please note I am a newbie.

I tried clearing the tables but somehow I kept having the same issues: My problem imo is that forums show as blog posts. I am also trying to run the pagelines.com platformpro / base theme which I bought some time ago.

Please tell me what should I delete / clear to make sure to have a fresh install ?

Files / tables.

Thank you very much.

I am having the same issue with 2.0.1 on vanilla install. I found this thread which seems to contain an identical error: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbp-plugin-install-users-cannot-create-topics

Is it possible that this has resurfaced somehow in the latest update?

Thanks in advanced.

[Ash Shaw]

One more update: I tested on my local install with bbPress 2.0, an the issue does not occur.

The dev and live sites are on 2.0.1, and the issue occurs on both. So I’m thinking this may be a bug in the latest plugin update?

Hi,

Members who log into our sites through Facebook (using WP-FB-Autoconnect) are unable to create new topics. When clicking on the “New Topic” button a message displays: “You cannot create new topics at this time”.

At first I thought it must be related to user privileges, but I’ve tried setting FB connected users to administrator and the issue still occurs. Members who log in with the traditional login form do not experience this problem.

Using:

WP 3.2.1

BuddyPress 1.5.1

bbPress 2.0.1

WP-FB-Autoconnect 2.1.6

Hello mr. globetrotterdk, for your first question unfortunately there is no available documentation for bbpress 2.0 up to now.. pray that developer will update this soon. Thanks for them who makes their effort to update.

for your second question, have you try using bbpress shortcodes?

Здравствуйте! Интересует такой вопрос.. На многих форумах уже используется такая в постах кнопка, как загрузка изображений на бесплатный хостинг. Вот пример http://www.postimage.org/mod.php

Очень удобно. Суть такова, что с поста пользователь загружает на бесплатный хостинг картинки и автоматически ссылка вставляется в пост.

Вопрос: Есть ли подобное для BBpress?..

Спасибо!

Sure, I have a custom theme and this sits in the functions.php and loads in a block of HTML for single posts that aren’t in certain categories. However, since installing bbPress, this block of HTML is also showing on the forums (it shouldn’t) so I need to exclude it. Someone offered some help on another forum so I now have:

if ( 'forum' != get_post_type() && !in_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && !is_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) ) { ?>

Which means my forums now show but this chunk of HTML is now showing on pages too (it shouldn’t show there either) so I need to now exclude pages as well! Any idea how I might do that?

On the same topic, can a standalone instal of bbpress be set up on a sub domain?

Where are the files for reg, log in, lost p/w etc.?

[OPI Axxium Gel]

I need that code. PLease send me! Thank you.

[maxfaction]

I was able to get it working after 4 hours of manipulating css code… which isn’t uncommon when bending code to suit your theme design. I’m still working on a few bugs, nothing serious but its tedious nonetheless… so I’ll contribute my discoveries when I’m done. It’s not for the faint-hearted to be sure, but its do-able. At least you won’t have to invest as much time as I did to “get it”. More to come…

Hi,

I have installed WP 3.2.1 and activated “Site wide forums” option. Then I created several public forums in the FORUMS menu of bbpress.

Now I have the problem that I don’t see a single forum when I click on “Neues Thema” (german version). I can publish new entries in groups (the standard BuddyPress Forum option I think).

What do I have to do to be able to publish entries in a created forum?

Additionally: I have inserted the bbpress Forum lsit widget which shows all created forums. When I click on a forum in the widget list, a new page is displayed but without a forum title and the displayed forum entries are the same in all forums.

Thanks.

Hi devs.

bbpress looks great on our new site, great work getting us an integrated forum. But major problem is what others have described here: the login to our site is what gets displayed.

I notice that this thread hasn’t had a posting for about a year, so I’m just wondering if there are any answers in new versions.

I’m a bit out of my depth with some of the technicalities because this was set up for us, but is there an easy fix?

Thanks

Richard

[rrandolph]

I second this. I saw some old posts about removing tags with css but none work on bbpress 2.0, perhaps I entered them wrong.

check this link if you want to get forum_id:

I have installed my wordpress and run BBpress plug-in. I decided to add additional plugin intended for BBpress which is Easy Albums – (Buddypress users create and share images, video and audio albums – the easy way.) This plug-in works properly with the default theme for BBpress but when I change it to Frisco BBPress Theme everything seems to be okey not until when I click the album tab in the profile of each users.

When I am in the tab of Activity, Profiles, Message, Friends and etc the sidebar works well and when I click on the Album tab which the Easy Albums Plug-in added that tab then the sidebar is misaligned.

I hope someone can help me about this..

[blockquote]Does registration go through normal WP reg process? I can’t find it from the forums, but the spam bots sure can![blockquote]

I believe it does so adding something like reCAPTCHA to your reg form should reduce the spam you’re getting on your forum. Something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/ for instance.

[blockquote]If not logged in, I can’t see any way to post to the forum, or any register links in the forum area. Is a setting for this (I have it set at defaults, only registered users can post, and anyone can register), or do I have to add theme support? (I’m using 2011.)[/blockquote]

You can add a link to your template linking to the wp registration page (“url.com/wp-login.php?action=register” or something like that) or simply load the bbpress login widget and add the registration link to it.

[blockquote]I forgot to mention another issue I’ve had – bbpress doesn’t get along with wp-super-cache – is there any easy way to get around that (disable the cache just for the forums tree for example)?[/blockquote]

You can try Hypercache. I believe that plugin allows you to exclude pages you don’t want to cache so you can exclude your forum from being cached.

[devotee]

I have this problem also. Topics appear in random order. I´t a fresh install of WordPress single user site, and lastest bbPress. Recounting did nothing sadly…if anyone solves this problem please let me know, the forum is unusable like this.

[tosteri]

I am not a fluent bbPress user, but best to my knowledge, the ID can be found on your controlpanel page. On the left side there is are Forums -> All forums. This page should display the forums you have made and on the far right side of your desired forum, you can see the ID number.

Also, if you hover your mouse over the forum name, the address appering to the bottom of your browser should give the same ID number, eg. …post=735&…

[John James Jacoby]

Good to hear. Looks like Pagelines is dropping support for bbPress in future versions. A shame really. I have a good relationship with a few of their guys so I’m sure we’ll get things figured out eventually.

[John James Jacoby]

Interesting. Will test some things. Can you create a ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org to remind me?
