I pretty much understand all the templates in bbPress with the exception of single-view.php
Where is this template called and what is it used for?
I found a solution somewhere to disable functions when you are calling post-form to septate files: LIKE
<?php post_form( array( 'last_page_only' => false ) ); ?>
I hope, with that kind of code we can disable attachments on replies.
— Anyone?
How can I manually reactivate the plugins in my-plugins?
I tried to upgrade and deactivated plugins first per instructions, ran into problems, went back to the original installation directory, but now I’m getting fatal PHP errors which appear to be related to the missing plugins.
I can login as admin, but I can’t get to the backend to reactivate the plugins because, when I click Admin – mysite.com/bbpress/bb-admin – I keep getting popped back to the home screen, the backend won’t come up.
Thanks.
Just in case the plugin author sees this, at least provide an option for having attachments in the replies. There are some of us that need the functionality in both topics and replies. An admin option would be nice.
Also:
I would suggest making it so that only logged in users can add attachments.
bbPress has the option of allowing guests to post to the forums, so if I turn that on, I end up with guest attachment abilities, which I personally don’t want.
Great little plugin btw, thnx!
Bump! Bump!
Hello, Zaerl, Ben L.
Are you listening to me?
I think _ck_ has gone again 
Hello,
Does bbPress have a built-in RESTful web API? Basically, I would like to integrate it into a custom GWT site that I’ve written. The front-end is in Java (converted to Javascript by GWT) and the back-end is in PHP. I would like a forum software that already has a web API and where I don’t need to write the wrapper myself.
Thank you for your time,
z.
Yep, but something else you can use if you want that play like Twitter to reply game (Got my mean? Like @OAEErra) on topics you can use this: Easy Mentions
Note: The code I gave you is for StandAlone vr. not the bbPlugin
As bbPress follows all WordPress code standards, I am going to assume it is something to do with thesis.
Chris is a great coder so I am certain that he would have no problem coming up with a fix for thesis.
Actually it was quite easy to do:
Modify archive forum:
<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
<div class="entry-content">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>
<br><br>
<h3>Recent Topics:</h3>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- #forum-front -->
Notice I am simply calling the content-archive-topic template.
**Obviously there is more to it than simply modding a core file which is not good. I am going to assume that you are using a custom theme/child-theme and modifying the templates from there.
Yup, same problem. Probably cache.
I’ve mentioned having problems logging into this website before and wanted to create a topic as a reminder to the devs.
After trying multiple times with multiple browsers today, I finally had to reboot and then try multiple times again before I was logged in. I am NEVER able to show as logged in on the page I actually login to.
*view a specific topic, login on that page, I am never logged into that page. I have to login on a page that I never plan on replying to.
I’m not sure, but it seems to be getting much worse lately. Might explain why there is no traffic on these forums?
**Another annoyance:
When I create a new topic, it does not show up on the forum homepage for a few mins. Also if I reply to a topic, the topic is not bumped up on the homepage for a few mins.
Is there some kind of bad cache script running or something?
@Gautam
Yes I read through your code prior to posting this and used it as an example of how to add options to the page.
It was because of reading your code that I was asking about using tabs. My reason for this is that it would give the users a clear distinction between ‘core’ and ‘custom’ options while still maintaining all options in the same page.
Just thought it would be unique, cool, and provide yet another level of organization to bbPress.
The latest versions now have admin settings in the dashboard that allow the admin to create additional whitelists of supported tags. It also detects Viper’s Video Quicktags and allows all those tags to be added to the whitelist via a single checkbox.
I’ve implemented a means by which other shortcode plugin developers can make their plugins get automatically detected by the whitelist, declaring which safe shortcodes they support, and giving them the same single checkbox ‘add to whitelist’ functionality that I’ve currently done with my bbPress BBCode plugin and Viper’s Video Quicktags.
You can view how I added settings for my plugin, within the bbPress options page here (without tabbing, just appends to the options page): https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bbp-topic-views/trunk/bbp-topic-views.php?rev=449878#L215
Thesis is a paid theme and we can’t say anything about it unless we have access to its source. 
Hi,
I just converted my phpBB database into bbPress with ForumConverter plugin. Everything works fine, but when I look at the forum widget on dashboard, there is “0 Forums”. But I have 4 forums already. How can I change that to show 4?
Thanks.
As far as I know, bbpress is using the twentyten theme. Sorry, my experience is limited.
Hi I have a question. How can I edit style.css without affecting my theme. So use the firebug to make changes but when I inspect objects the style is wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css and i dont wanna edit my style of theme, only style of bbpress.
I try this:
Copy Files
If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your “wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%” folder, and modify your style.css to make it a custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is. This is so theme updates don’t wipe
Add Theme Support
Now that you’ve got the files copied over, you’ll need to tell bbPress that you are in control of the theme situation. You do this by adding this to your functions.php file:
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );out all your hard work later.
But dont work good because some subforums disappear and change the order. I like to stay like this with bbp-TwentyTen and modify aspects of my theme style.css without affecting primary.
but I do not understand the wording of a step for stand alone installation of bbPress 2.0. I’ve downloaded it, and added it to my FTP, but I don’t get this step:
4.Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site
what does this mean? I mean, i get the idea of what it means, go to mysite.forum.com if that’s where i want the forum. okay great, but that doesn’t do anything by itself.
Do I need to set up a blank page for the forum? And if so, how does that do anything for the installation process? I feel like there’s more steps here, something obvious I’m missing, but i’m not sure what.
thanks!
The theme on this website is custom and is not yet running the 2x plugin, so no, there is nothing ‘out of the box’ that will look like it does here.
It is however more than possible to build your own custom theme that looks and behaves like this site does. Not easy but possible. Gotta remember, bbPress uses templates in the same was as WordPress does.
rossagrant, are you looking at the buddypress profile? i ran into something that sounds similar and the issue was that some of bbpress / buddypress integration is in progress and planned for next release. here’s the previous topic thread, which might be of use (includes workaround plugin from travishill)
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profiles-in-bbpress-buddypress
Is there a way to have the main forum page exactly as the main forum page of this website? I mean: two colums:
1) column left: with the “Forums” and the “Hot Tags”
2) column right with the “topics”
Is that a theme that I have to upload or there is another way to do that?
Thanks in advance
Dario
Has anyone been able to get bbPress 2.0 and the Thesis theme to work together?
I have tried a number of things but I just can’t get it to work.
If I do nothing and rely on the default theme the forum is totally unusable. Not only is there no styling but none of the functionality works (no links appear for a start!).
I have tried creating a child theme as per instructions on this forum, tried using shortcodes and I have also tried copying the relevant parts of the default theme over to the thesis theme folder.
This seems to get slightly better results in the sense that I get the forum functionality, but there is no styling. You can see my current attempt here:
http://www.jezza101.co.uk/forums
It seems to me like part of the theme’s framework is somehow breaking bbPress, there must be some fundamental incompatibility in there somewhere – but I really don’t know enough to debug this.
I have asked over at the Thesis support forum but there seems to be little understanding of what’s going on over there. Is there anyone over here who has any suggestions?
The WordPress core tab UI is built into the header area of the settings page, and consequentially does not have an API to go along with it. The other issue with using tabs instead of new settings pages, the navigation doesn’t appear anywhere else and requires more clicks to get to secondary tabs.
I’m not a fan of nesting options inside so many tabs. bbPress core settings aren’t the place to put theme options. You can use the WordPress settings API if you want to add additional settings that fit side-by-side with bbPress core features. Anything else probably deserves it’s own unique UI and page.
@Andre: Yes, impossible as in “possible”, but on opposite day.
@JohnJamesJacoby: I’d LOVE to contribute to the docs here, and have even been compiling some notes of my own that I was at some point going to put into a blog post…
Much rather add them to this site, but even though I’m logged in (can see that on the Forums pages), and the Docs > Template Tags page says that I can help by “Add[ing] documentation to un-documented functions, by creating sub-pages…”, there is no link to Edit the page to be found.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/template-tags/
Am I missing something?
