Hi there,

I’m really not techo at all and am trying to utilise BBpress on my weaver wordpress themed site. I’ve copied the files over as instructed but I’m completely lost with the info re the child theme. Can you give me instructions on what to do here in a fair bit of detail? Do I make changes under the weaver admin section or do I need to be in my file manager and what exactly do I put where. Thanks heaps

We’re using WordPress 3.2.1, BuddyPress 1.5, and bbPress 2.0 and seem to have run across an issue with the forum home permalink not being correctly set, or so it seems. Perhaps I’m missing something . Any help is greatly appreciated!

The Code

We’re attempting to simply output the basename of the permalink and use that in an IF/ELSE statement using the following to generate:

<?php

$gettheslug = basename(get_permalink());

?>

The Problem

For the purpose of this post, we’ll say that we have bbPress set to http://site.ext/community/. We need to grab ‘community’ from the URL, which is what the code above ‘should’ do, but doesn’t. Instead, it’s grabbing the basename for the last forum we created and continues to update as we create new forums/categories.

To get the basename, we’ve simply echo’ed out $gettheslug in the header. This works for all other areas of the website, except with the bbPress portion which is what’s so confusing .

Perhaps we’re doing something wrong, perhaps I’m doing something wrong. As above, any help is much appreciated.

I think now that BBPress is final and out in the wild, I expect to see a number of plugins starting to hit the market quite soon. The code is a dream to work with and so easy to extend. JJ really rocked this release.

Maybe we could set up a poll so everyone could vote which bbpress 1.1 are the most important to be made compatible/available for bbprss plugin ?

[Anointed]

Plugins for the 1x forums do not work with the new 2x bbpress plugin.

Hello

I am in the process of making the switch from phpBB to bbPress (once the importer is out of beta). My two questions: how will the current catalog of bbPress plugins work within the new bbPress 2.0 (WordPress plugin)? How are they installed?

I searched for this info here and could not really find a definite answer.

Thanks in Advance.

[Clicknathan]

Any idea what might be causing this, JJJ?

Thank you Steveorevo!

That was exactly the problem. When logged in as an administrator I can post Javascript, when logged in as a Forum Participent, it strips it out.

I *knew* there had to be something in there to stop that.

Again, thank you for the help, and thank you also for the quick reply.

[Steveorevo]

Check that you create a user at the subscriber level, and post a reply containing the script tag. It should not allow you to do this (or at least that is the case with me).

Within the administration screens, or at a different user level other then subscriber maybe a different story.

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been resolved somewhere else, I’ve tried searching the forums and haven’t found anything.

My problem is that I’ve installed the bbPress plugin into a clean install of wordpress, and when testing it tried a simple JavaScript insert. Open script tag, alert “Oh Dear” and close the script tag.

When I posted this, it went through. The page alerted the text. Each time the page loads, it runs the JavaScript.

So, my question is: Is there a way of stopping this? I’m pretty new to WordPress and *very* new to bbPress, but have been loving what I’ve been seeing so far. I really don’t want to have to try something else when this solution seems to tick every box but this.

Hi,

On the site I look after I’m having an issue of forum posts coming out blank. If I look at the database rows for the blank posts, they all have <br /> as the post_text.

I have not managed to replicate the issue myself, nor see any pattern as to why it’s happening.

I’m using:

WordPress MU 2.9.2

BuddyPress 1.2.3

BBpress 1.0.2

Any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks!

[Jaja..]

Oo gosh..

I think i have a different bbPress plugin. Are you sure there is no fake ‘Made’ in China bbPress plugin on the market?

Maybe it’s time for me to test my bbPress plugin on a single WP install because i think all my functions not working has something to do with me being on a Multisite install.

[John James Jacoby]

If you picked the option to overwrite your WP users with your bbPress users, then this is exactly what happened. You’ll want to login with your admin user/pass from your bbPress 1.0 install.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.0 does this already, and includes basic styling for them.

[fbg]

The pipes dont’t work anymore, use the Facebook Group Feed instead; http://groupfeed.climatesceptics.org. Works the same with group id’s.

[thruxton]

I’ve installed the bbPress plugin and activated it through WordPress 3.1. I’ve created a New Forum and published it. However I can’t see it on my blog site – thruxton.yogaha.com. I then created a page called Forum – but this didn’t show the new bbPress forum page. I can view the bbPress forum page I created – looks ok – but I don’t know how it gets shown in the Menu? Any help please? Thank you.

[Jaja..]

I know bbPress is all about basic, clean and minimalism code but not adding an unique class or ID to a sticky topic or a closed topic is a huge missing part i think.

(the function works just no way to style it)

Will the bbPress (2.+) version be the same as the bbPress (1.0) version?

Without 25 different must have plugins is just not worth installing it?

Don’t get me wrong, i love the option to add plugins that can make bbPress do more advanced functions, but a feature like sticky and closed topics should be styled in the core files not by a plugin.

Not talking about lock icons , stars icons and different forum icons just a light gray or green background would be nice to have out of the box.

Just saw a fix for this has been posted here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575#comment:8

[anamariav]

Now using bbpress 2.0.

One last shot to see if someone could help me out with this, as I still am stuck.

Thanks.

[aarinjac]

Yes, I have tried to login with the bbPress login and it didn’t work.

[Treebeard]

have you tried to login with your bbpress login? It probably changed the database.

[aarinjac]

I was attempting to import bbPress 2.0 (tools –> import –> bbPress Standalone) and something bad happened. Immediately, I was locked out of WordPress and cannot log back in.

I get “ERROR: Username Invalid.” Basically, it’s saying that my username doesn’t exist anymore.

I think it’s because when the bbPress was migrating the forum usernames, it caused an overwrite in the WP-Admin usernames, because of the cookies and master keys used in bbPress. How do I reinstate my admin username?

I have a backup file and I have myPHP via Hostgator. But I have no idea how to reinstate any of this. Please help me, I’m freaking out!
