Only stickys show up in the forum. Also: notice how it says the forum has 2 topics, but viewing only 1.

I installed bbPress via the WordPress Plugins tab and I have copied the template files to my custom theme and customized them (basicly just removed the sidebar) and added the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); line in functions.php.

It’s like the topics are set to hidden.

I have checked and double checked that the publish status is set to published. What do?

Thank you for any help.

Bugs/inconsistencies:

– “Assign topic to” appears on all forums. That’s okay I guess, but should be an option, not mandatory.

– If a “Resolved” or “Urgent” topic is moved to a non-support forum, the prefix will stay, but there’s no way of removing it as the extra controls don’t exist in this forum. When moving support topics to non-support forums, I would suggest stripping away all extra features entirely.

I seem to remember the first time I did it the process was clean, but in all my last attempts I’ve received this error when moving a topic out of the troubleshooting board:

I took it for a spin, and here’s my feedback thus far:

A lot of functionality should be in its own plugins.

– Move forum:

I’m surprised this isn’t in core already; I thought it was. In any case, this would make much more sense as a stand-alone plugin, as its useful for all topics, not just support topics.

– Forum Ranks:

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t tie directly in with support topics; it’s a completely separate feature. Maybe you have plans for it, but if that’s the case I still think you should just have two plugins communicate, as this is something many support forums won’t need. I personally dislike forum ranks. I consider it unwarranted labeling. On the jMonkeyEngine forum we frequently see first time posters with 10+ years of Java experience, which is the type of experience that holds weight in our community, not # of forum posts.

– Please separate your settings from bbPress’ options page. Your plugin offers so many options (which by itself is great) that it ends up bloating the options page.

– I think the default setting should reflect the one in this screenshot:

https://s.w.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/screenshot-3.png?r=448946

That part slipped by me in the settings screen, and when I tested the plugin I was puzzled by how I couldn’t change my test support topic to “resolved”.

– What about a widget for the resolved/not resolved drop-down? (Same goes for Assign topic, and possibly some others I haven’t noticed yet). This would make it easier to fit it in with custom themes. This also means admin should have the option to turn off the in-built drop-down.

Oh and as recommended, add the bbpress tag to your plugin. It’s the default bbPress plugin tag, and currently the most convenient way of keeping up with the latest bbPress 2 plugins.

Having language files for bbPress 2.0 isn’t enough. The proper translation files need to exist for WordPress also.

[amirsaam]

I do not think you’re do the right thing guys. I think you jus’ must put the language file into WP language directory (wp-content/languages) with a name like (I’m not sure about it) bbp-fa_IR.po or bbppress-fa_IR.po and/or mo. That fa-IR is for my language, example for english: en_US

[master5o1]

This works a whole lot better than the built in converter.

The built in one could only handle 15 topics and, this plugin one is doing them all

[master5o1]

Not sure why the [bbp-*] shortcodes aren’t working on this page.

[binarymoon]

In the WordPress admin I am getting an error saving forum settings.

Warning: intval() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170

Because of this error I also get further errors when using the TwentyTen bbpress theme.

Warning: Division by zero in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 382

This is happening because get_option(‘_bbp_replies_per_page’); is now empty

[tgiokdi]

with the small details that still need to be worked out, I think we’d better wait till a 2.1 release to actually mention it. a fair amount of people are still a little confused as to where the forums are installed to, how to administrate them, and most importantly, how to integrate their themes into the new bbpress. I’d say after those three major things are mentioned in the install instructions and made a bit clearer / automated, then it’s time to invite the masses

[tgiokdi]

are you attempting to use two different themes for your site? one for the wordpress install and one for the bbpress? in my own installations, I didn’t copy or move any templates around at all, and just installed bbpress and it worked with the template that I was using for my main site…

[tgiokdi]

@andreas your site’s css isn’t loading properly for me on any of your pages, I’d look into that first before you look into what’s going on with bbpress.

@ferdilicious sorry someone couldn’t help you with your needs

[highexistence]

All ajax functionality on single topic pages are broken. I get the following errors on:

wp-lists.js:1 — Uncaught ReferenceError: ajaxurl is not defined

topic.js:39 — Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘wpList’

I’m using a copy of the TwentTen BBpress theme, but it doesn’t work even if I switch back to the default theme. I’m using the BBpress plugin with Buddypress, not standalone.

If you look at a topic thread on my site (http://willowbilliards.com/forum/topic/test-topic-3/) you’ll notice that there’s no avatars showing.

I figured out that the place where the code should exist is in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php so I stuck a message that says “avatar should go here”. Here’s the code from that page: http://pastebin.com/dMLeD6LV

But what do I need to put there so the avatar actually shows? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

[Ronald Rogers]

It’s pretty much all stated in the title.

There doesn’t appear to be anything preventing guests from seeing hidden or private topics when the [bbp-topic-index] short code is used.

There is a forum on the site that only people that can view private forums are supposed to know about. You can’t view the topic’s contents, but the existence of the forum is nevertheless betrayed in the index.

I was able to fix the problem by adding a check in the loop-single-topic.php template file.

[highexistence]

Same problem, I’m using the BBpress 2.0 plugin with WordPress and cannot get the BB language file to be implemented.

I used define(‘BBLANG’, ‘hethen’); in wp-config and also placed the .mo file in wp-content/languages and in bbpress/bbp-languages/

[master5o1]

Assuming bbPress 2.0:

You can modify this file (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bbpress/tags/2.0/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/form-anonymous.php)

Modify the <input> tags such that they’re type="hidden". Also make the value="Anonymous" for name and something like value="anonymous@example.com" for email.

There is _probably_ a better way but this is the first that comes to mind for me.

[Erlend]

Oh, and I guess I might as well throw this in here:

[nathanbunn]

Judging from some posts I have seen (correct me if I am wrong), there is no built in way of having bbPress (2.0) made searchable using the standard WordPress search box and having both sets of results combined into one set, and if there is, it is buggy at best. Services such as Google Custom Search have been suggested as alternatives, but would that mean that all posts are searchable using spiders? I mean, would using a service such as Freefind give me practically accurate results, depending on when each crawl was made? Or is there a way to have relatively realtime results just using the standard WordPress search box? I’d much rather have native (even plugin based) search on my site instead of a spider based search engine, but beggars can’t be choosers and all.

[Ferdilicious]

I’ve given up, there’s too much to do already – I switched to another bulletin board which didn’t gave me any headaches.

[Ed]

AW, as i’ve jumped from punbb>phpbb2>phpbb3>bbpress1>bbpress2, I don’t think it’s worth sharing my setup – just too many variables to account for.

However, look forward to testing a punbb or phpbb version for you.

[ModdeyDo]

Hi Vaju,

I have now searched the internet (yes all of it I think) and it seems there is a lot of confusion about bbpress and how to change languages.

Has anyone got this to work in version 2.0 (Plugin) ?

Here is what I have tried so far :

1: mo and po files uploaded to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages

2: Looked in and edited a lot of php files.

3. Checked nearly every file in my themes folder (Suffusion).

4. Have been in discussion with Suffusion theme forum.

None of the above has helped in any way

My wordpress is showing the correct language, which is great. A major problem is the Forum is not. I currently have the site offline for now. But it should be up again before the start of next week (well thats what I have told the users)

[kai920]

Thanks anointed, I might follow your approach as I want to keep the forums somewhat separated from the rest of the site. Am sure I will learn many things along the way also, as an added bonus

[DaleAB]

I’m thinking I’m pretty happy that I found bbPress. I’d appreciate someone chiming in on the following use case for bbPress. Is the following possible?

I’d like to completely prevent a user from registering in bbPress. I want the WordPress User database to control roles and capabilities inside bbPress. In fact, I don’t want users to be able to register in WordPress either. No, it won’t be any empty forum (hampers discussion) because all of the users will be added and updated via an integration between an external customer system and the WordPress user database.

Here’s the perfect scenario for our client.

In the external customer system a subset of customers, lets say 10 of them get a role and custom capability called “Review Committee”. The integration between the customer system and WordPress User database insures the 10 customers on the committee are in the WP User database with the “Review Committee” capability. In bbPress, we’d like the Review Committee to have a private discussion space/thread (sorry, I’m not familiar with the correct bbPress term), controlled by the user capability the 10 individuals have where only the 10 of them with the “Review Committee” capability can participate in their discussion, share documents, etc. For our client, subsets of their customer base like the “Review Committee” example outlined above will come and go but all will need a private space in bbPress to conduct their business.

So, will this work?

Your thoughts are very much appreciated!

DB.

I have installed bbpress 2.0 at allaboutfocus.com on the Genesis Framework. Before I knew that shortcodes existed I create a single free forum with some test posts. You can see that here: http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/#

Now I’ve discovered shortcodes. I created a new empty page called /mojo-forums. I edit that page and add a couple of simple shortcodes. When I save the new page I am instantly directed back to edit session for page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/ . This is bizarre. That is not the page I was editing. Keep in mind this is all happening in the admin area. When I click on view to view the page /mojo-forums it shows me page /forums which has no edit options.

Also – when I post a new test post it is showing the freshest post as 4 hours ago. But when you drill down to the post it has the correct time that I saved the post.

Help.

Thanks,

Patrick

I just noticed a mistake, avatar thumbnail size is 50×50, not 15×15. Sorry for the double post.
