@johnjamesjacoby – Nope, no slug conflicts and no conflicting folders as far as I can see. I just deleted the forums folder in my theme. Changed the theme and it’s still broken.

Do you mean folders within the plugin folders?

If all else fails, what are the steps to completely uninstall bbpress so I can just try it fresh?

Thanks for your time man.

Same here! I’ve been trying to see something from bbpress(sitewide) on my activity stream for 2 weeks! still not working. however if you set up a discussion group and create topic for each group it goes up to your activity stream like always.

Here is my situation though: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-updates/page/38#post-92263

but I found something interesting. I have wpmu and if one of my user create a blog(site) and of course it has bbpress enable and he/she can create new forum/topic/reply it’s gonna show up on his/her activity stream right on time!

funny, i tried this. it’s working with all new blogs except the one that has the buddypress up and running. even someone mentioned you in one of these blogs it’s gonna be on your activity stream.

Still waiting and trying hard to get this worked.

lmburford, just to clarify, activity works for you when you are using Sitewide Forums? Or are you using the per-group forums?

I reinstalled using all above instructions and I still can’t get Sitewide Forums posts to show up in the activity stream.

Your theme is overriding the default styling. Not much bbPress can do about it of your theme is stubborn. Afraid you’re on your own to modify your CSS to look the way you want it to.

[John James Jacoby]

Visit your forums settings and look for slug conflicts. Barring that, maybe BuddyPress forums and bbPress forums have conflicting folders for you somewhere.

i just installed bbpress for my jobsite- .JobsinnigeriaToday.com which is for Jobs in Nigeria, i installed it and it seems i cannot send out messages or activation mails, pls what do i do?

[StopC]

I have fully integrated bbpress as plugin, and I’m trying to list all the topics from all the forums based on access user have. example:

Guest/unregistered visitor, forum participant -> public

Forum moderator -> public, private

I’ve been searching whole day and couldn’t find anything, and all the solutions that I come up with are too “hacky”. Could you point me to right direction or show me how its done?

Thank you.

Hello,

When i use the importer in wordpress (bbpress 1.1 to bbpress 2.0 plugin) i have the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /class.bpdb.php on line 39

I use bbpress 1.1.

Any idea?

thanks!

There are private messaging plugins that will work with bbPress, there just isn’t a separate plugin repository that lists them. Same for other types of plugins.

[Jaja..]

No Private messages at this point,

In Overall there is not much bbPress (v.2.0) plugins available, and we can only hope WordPress will release a statement on wordpress.org about the release of bbPress 2.0. If they don’t i doubt we will see tons of plugins for bbPress in the first year or two.

Beside all that, this Toolbar plugin works perfect on my forum,

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

And if you Valid the code and delete lots of ‘ugly’ included code it’s even a better product.

But again, out of the box it works great. (many thanks to the author)

My tuned version of this plugin:

* Still working on my Forum and i don’t know if i’ll ever gonna place it public (live) because for me bbPress is still very Glitchy.

[Patrik Berggren]

Ok … new to bbPress and have installed v2.

But … before I can go live with that forum I really need an WYSIWYG-editor, including “smilies”, PM (Private Messages) functionality … otherwize, my forum members will go ballistic

Is there a list of working plugins for bbPress v2? other than “repository” at wordpress.org?

[adams21]

Lets hope somebody will soon jump into this bbPress plugin code and start writing tutorials and info about different ways to list forums.

For myself i can say this is the best bbPress forum layout (listing) i’ve ever seen

[adams21]

simple used the insert code (which I was looking for but didn’t see and assumed not available) within my main template instead of using teh bbPress subtempate

[adams21]

If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol

[adams21]

INSERT INTO bb_forums (forum_id , forum_name, forum_desc, forum_parent, forum_order, topics, posts) VALUES (‘6’, ‘Bike of the Month’, ‘Each month we will showcase a different member’s bike’, ‘5’, ‘8’, ‘0’, ‘0’)

Hi,

I run old bbPress 1.02 standalone version.

How do I export the data to a new bbPress 2.0 plugin version in another domain?

Thanks,

Ravi

[Razva]

Hi folks,

I’ve just installed BBpress 2 on our website – http://www.gadget.ro/forums/

As you can see it looks horrible!

Isn’t there a default style or something that would make BBpress…usable?

Thanks!

[Jaja..]

I was searching for an option to set the max topic length to 70 instead of default 80.

Now I think I’ve found the code inside the (Core files) bbp-core-options.php but I can’t change the core files because it will be overwritten when bbPRess updates.

So how could I place a filter? inside my functions.php to do this?

Just like this? (copy-/paste)

function bbp_title_max_length( $default = '70' ) {

echo bbp_get_title_max_length( $default );

}

[highexistence]

I did that a couple of times to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion though.

BBpress forum topics and replies are working really great in buddypress activity stream section.

However, maybe this is just my own blog’s problem, but I found out the photos posted in bbpress are not resized to 100 px height when they are shown in buddypress activity stream, while other blog posts or comments are all resized to 100px height. I wonder if this is my site’s problem or if this is the general behavior of bbpress + buddypress implementation.

[Kasper Isager]

Sounds good Kudos to the bbPress team!

[Jaja..]

+1

Agree on everything.

[lckitchen]

I am very interested in that ‘bbpress.php’ file, having the same issues as “elmalak”; once I go into the forum pages, or topics, everything gets lost, for example, I used a specific page template for the forum page I created with the short code, but once I go into the topics or so, it reverts back to the regular page template.

What do I put in the bbpress.php file to make it a “wrapper”?

Thanks

[lckitchen]

Hi there, first I want to say thanks for creating this, seems like a great forum plugin once you get it working.

To start, I have read the entire thread on the forum on theme compatibility; http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility and a few other treads and topics relating, unfortunately I am still having some problems.

I am including screen-shot links to be as clear as possible in hope for great support.

What I have done so far;

A.) I decided to go with the child theme option since I am using a custom theme that I am not the author of and prefer not to clutter that folder.

I copied all the files (except functions.php) that were inside “bbp-twentyten” (/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten) and put them in my “gridlocked-child” folder that I placed inside /wp-content/themes/ (next to my custom “gridlocked” theme folder)

I added the “theme name” and “template” name to the empty “style.css” in folder “gridlocked-child”. screenshot: http://grab.by/cJ7R

I put the ” add_theme_support( ‘gridlocked-child’ ); ” code in my “gridlocked” (not child) functions.php file. screenshot: http://grab.by/cJ7S

At this point, after just test creating a few forums and topics, it looks like the plugin is “functioning” like it should. I can tell that it’s using some of the styles from my main theme style.css (colors, fonts etc), the MAIN PROBLEMS that I have now is the fact that it’s not taking to my page template widths in my main theme (gridlocked), it wont use a full-page-width template (or let me pick) and the default that it is probably using, is also supposed to be full width, plus something is wrong with the padding and it snugs too tight to the page edges.

Here are some screenshots to show you what I mean;

Forum home page: http://grab.by/cJ7I

Forum named MINGLE page and test topics: http://grab.by/cJ7J

I would like the forum to look like this; http://grab.by/cJ7H

and fill up the entire width of a full page, with nice padding. I achieved that preview by adding shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the html section of a “page” picking the “full-width-template” option in my theme.

Ok, here comes the questions:

1. Did I set everything up correctly in the directories and files?

2. What files do I need to modify to tell the bbPress forum to use a full page width template? Can I copy code from my main theme “template-full-width.php” into one or more template files inside my new child theme?

2. Do I need to add code/functions into my main theme “template-full-width.php”? and if so, what kind of code? and on a scale, how easy should these edits be? (I have asked, but I am not getting any support with this from my theme support forum, otherwise great forum but they wont help with plugins, understandable)

3. How does shortcodes work? Are those simply just for placing certain parts of your forum on different pages as previews/links but not for use throughout the FULL forum?

Do you have ANY ideas on how I can solve this issue, I feel pretty lost and I am not a developer or programmer, just a stubborn, enthusiastic designer that loosing her hair about this.

I HIGHLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS!

Thank you!

@Justin given the fact that this version of bbPress has practically nothing in common with bbPress 1.x and previous versions, you can’t really argue that 2.0 will work on high traffic sites because previous versions could. Version 1 and 2 also has completely different authors.

That said, the information anointed just shared sounds very promising indeed. While following the development of bbPress 2.0 from the start, I can safely say that performance has been one of the biggest concerns throughout. The developers were honest, and I was prepared to trade off some performance in favor of cleaner, seamless integration with WordPress.

With anointed successfully hosting 300k posts and 40k users on bbPress 2, I’m beyond pleased. Knowing it will only get better from here, the future is looking mighty bright.
