Just realized topics can be marked as private.
Sorry for being unclear.
I have a _forum_ marked as private but the private forum’s topics are still showing up in the topic index.
Note that the topics themselves are not marked as private (when they are, they are hidden from the topic index as expected).
When you try to access the topic, it cannot be viewed unless you can view private forums.
Looks like a hairy problem to fix properly…
I use the bbConverter plugin and copied over all ~40,000 posts and ~1,200 topics from one of my websites (Tartarus) fine.
Well, except the ‘freshness’ time is relative to when converted not the actual posting date (which is copied over).
bbPress 2.0’s built in one has never worked for me.
@ebharding – Rather than hardcode the time difference, can you change:
function bbp_convert_date( $time, $d = 'U', $translate = false ) {
to
function bbp_convert_date( $time, $d = 'G', $translate = false ) {
and report back results?
thanks John, can you give me an example for this function. please !.
That isn’t the template notices section, that’s the description section. To modify the look of that area, you’ll need to create a custom child theme and change the output of the individual _author functions.
bbPress does not do this in its own. Can you post a screenshot of what is happening?
Not exactly a problem with the tool, bu could be running out of memory. Will look into it and run some more tests.
Possibly 2 sticky topics showing?
The ‘Leave a comment’ text isn’t part of bbPress. Not sure what you mean…
Hi folks,
I’m new to bbpress. on forums and topic page, the notice displays the avatar of last posed user. I want to remove it also I want to highlight the author name by using PHP not CSS.
please help me.
I am working on my localhost with a copy of my large-ish wp blog with bbpress standalone (5,609 posts in 1,778 topic threads). All is working well but when I go to use the bbPress Standalone Importer, it just seems to stop.
No errors or anything, Just a blank page at /wp-admin/admin.php?import=bbpress, with the title and nav, and nothing else.
I waited for an hour, nothing happened. So I tried to run it again and it was aware that there was an import in progress. I tried to restart it, nothing. I tried to start a whole new import, still nothing.
Is there a problem with this tool? And is it possible to achieve the same via the command line?
Thanks. Will try, then report my findings.
Try putting add_theme_support into the parent theme’s functions.php
I call spam on the above comment.
I did try it once and then put the add_theme_support into my WordPress child functions.php. It didn’t get me anywhere. If anyone knows of anybody who’s successfully merged a WordPress child theme and a bbPress child theme, please tell.
MTPrower,
I’m no expert, believe me.
But, if you have a child theme already, did you try merging your child theme with a bbpress child theme?
I would try dropping all the relevant bbpress php templates into your child theme, putting the necessary info into functions.php, and seeing what you get.
Hi!
I’ve tryed to upload the available pt.mo and pt-br.mo files into “my-languages” directory and it still works in english.
There are sevveral posts about changing the language bt there is not a correct support page with instructions to do it.
Can you please tell me what do I need to do?
If I translate all the bbpress.pot file and upload it will it work?
Thanks!
@ejegirl23 jjj is working with Pagelines to try and get a solution. They should be posting updates on this thread and here: http://www.pagelines.com/forum/discussion/14742/bbpress-2.0
I’ve installed bbpress and have been configuring it. However, I’ve noticed on the forum root (home>forum) page, all my wordpress pages are listed just beneath the list of my forums. is there a way to remove this list and just have my forums displayed?
I already have a child theme activated for WordPress, and I intend to keep it. Does this mean I can’t have a separate WordPress theme and bbPress theme at the same time? I need to use my current WordPress child theme. I can’t just get rid of it because I want to style bbPress!
Here are the steps I just took to install bbpress on a wp install and get a child theme started so I can develop with it. It assumes you have a mirror of your site files on your computer HD. Hopefully it will help someone.
1) Install plugin on live site.
2) Download
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten
to your computer, and copy folder and contents to
/wp-content/themes/
rename the folder if you want, so you have
/wp-content/themes/newchildtheme/
3) turn this into a child theme:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
(basically, add a “Template: ” parameter)
4) Upload this new child theme to your server
5) In the parent theme, add
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
to functions.php
5) Upload functions.php to server
6) Go to
/wp-admin/themes.php?activated=true
on your site and activate your child theme
hi, i’m switching my standalone installation with bbpress plugin… i need the forums list like the one on testbp.org or bbpress.org but i don’t know the file to edit…
ATM i’ve:
Forum title
Forum description
Leave a comment to Forum title
i need only:
Forum title
Forum description
thanks for the help…
I am also having the same issue. Hoping to fix this soon.
Because my main theme makes bbpress look really messy I did the following:
I went to the plugin theme folder and changed the css to make it a child of the theme I’m using instead of twentyten. I activated “bbPress (Twenty Ten)” in wordpress and now the forum layout looks like how it would be in twentyten but the rest of the site looks like the parent. Exactly like I want it to be. However, there are still some issues I can’t seem to resolve.
First thing is that the comments don’t allign well as you can see here:

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
