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.

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

Now using bbpress 2.0.

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

Thanks.

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!

[aarinjac]

Has anyone figured out how to get back into the admin panel? I tried to import bbPress via the tools menu and immediately got locked out of wordpress. I have no idea how to get back in and I’m freaking out!

@jaredatch

‘// Limit search to topics/replies

add_filter(‘get_search_form’, ‘bbpress_search_limit’, 10, 3);

function bbpress_search_limit($form, $search_text, $button_text) {

$onfocus = ” onfocus=”if (this.value == ‘$search_text’) {this.value = ”;}””;

$onblur = ” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ‘$search_text’;}””;

$bbpress_form = ‘

<form method=”get” action=”‘ . get_option(‘home’) . ‘/” >

<input type=”text” value=”‘. $search_text .'” name=”s”‘. $onfocus . $onblur .’ />

<input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”topics” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”replies” />

<input type=”submit” value=”‘. $button_text .'” />

</form>

‘;

if (is_post_type_archive( ‘forums’ , ‘topics’ , ‘replies’ ) || is_singular( ‘forums’ , ‘topics’ , ‘replies’ ))

return $bbpress_form;

else

return $form;

}’

From the hip… not tested, but I think you get the idea.

*I am just guessing on the conditionals for returning bbpress_form and probably would rework that portion entirely.

I am really curious to hear what the best approach to styling the different types of output is.

Does anyone have any good examples of a search results page that returns multiple post-types, yet appears proper?

I usually just use a function to output the post-type in the css class for each item returned and then rely upon the css for custom styling.

*I’ve also gone the route of using custom templates for each post-type within the search results but that got really tedious very quick.

If posts are being effected as well then it is probably nothing to do with bbpress. I tried, but can’t replicate your problem on any of my own installs.

I would start by deactivating plugins one at a time and checking to see if the problem goes away. If all plugins are deactivated, and it does not work, then try activating the twentyten theme and see if it still happens.

Hope it helps, and hope you understand that all we can do is guess if we can’t replicate the problem on our own installs.

@David Dean

That’s a pretty neat plugin you built there.

[David Dean]

Let me help get this going by adding what I know from building the bbPress Topics for Posts plugin:

1) Yes, it works perfectly even without BuddyPress.

2) Having a post on one site and the forum on another will probably NOT work. Forums and topics are considered posts themselves, and those are per-blog. Anything is possible, but that would be messy.

…

5) This isn’t too hard, but takes a little trickery with the bbp_has_replies_query filter. It’s a feature of the plugin if you want to take a look to see how it’s done.

[Jaja..]

Thank you for the link.

Well it nice to see something turn up, something is always better as: No Results found

[WebEndev]

If you don’t know of a way… it doesn’t exist then

Thanks!

[Jared Atchison]

Currently with bbPress there is no way easy do that, unfortunately – at least not that I’m aware of!

[WebEndev]

Hi Jared,

That will definitely help

I was actually referring to a Forum *only* search, and not sight wide using the site search. Most forums have this feature.

Thanks

[Jared Atchison]

Check out http://gist.github.com/1243500

As mentioned, you are going to have to do some poking around in order for the results to be returned in an orderly fashion

Hi,

A newer update for bbpress-2.0 has been made, including some bad translation reported.

Regards, François.

[master5o1]

Perhaps copy the css file from the bbPress folder and put include it at the bottom of your theme’s css file.

I can’t remember how to do css includes -_- Something like..

@include url(/path/style.css);

That _might_ restore the styling…slightly…

[Jaja..]

I have no idea how to change that.. (PHP isn’t my game)

I’ve got the same problem. Thats why I think that the bbPress (team) is still working on it.

I found this inside: (theme) > bbpress > user-details.php

<?php if ( bbp_is_user_home() || current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) : ?>

After that comes the Edit link but that PHP IF statement isn’t working correct.

bbPress is still very Glitchy if you ask me.

Lots of Glitch i don’t understand.

I was running trunk before the 1.5 release, so that may have changed. It wasn’t on by default for me.

[3sixty]

enderandrew, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Site Tracking is already “on” by default, so I don’t think that’s the source of the problem (at least in terms of my problem – that bp activity stream is not picking up sitewide forum posts).

[Jaja..]

I think it has something to do with your Permalinks structure of WordPress.

You show the ID numbers and not real slugs. (names and titles of pages and posts)

—

But something else that is eyeing me in this bbPress software is that EDIT PROFILE link at the user pages.

???

That edit-link really should only show up if the user is logged in and at his own profile page. Why would you like to show an Edit profile link to everybody else?

Same as the links that output the Subscribe and Favorite -topics. Not everybody should see what someone else’s Favorite topics are or what topics he-/she has been subscribed too.

(private info)

Profile pages should only show, About me, Topic replies and Topics started.

Everything else should be hidden and only visible to the user of the ID.

[enderandrew]

An important step is that in the Buddypress components you need to turn on this option:

Site Tracking: Make BuddyPress aware of new posts and new comments from your site.
