I have tried the following:

1. Deactivated all the plugins

2. Tried a default theme.

But unfortunately, when using the recount for “Count replies for each user” always fail.

I’m not sure what else I can try. Would turning debug on help?

[miruru]

Does this work if you have bbpress plugin and Buddypress working? I have to say it’s a fantastic plugin especially the Forum Ranks which is what I’m after.

Edit: Everything is working as it should be. For some reason it was not updating correctly. The only thing that is not working is that I already have a number of posts, i.e. 10 plus. However it does not display that information within the post count. Only displays any new posts that i have created since installing this plugin. It is only when I go into existing posts and re-save them then it counts.

Edit 2: All is well, however only normal users do not have the rank displayed. I have set them to subscriber, member and even forum participant to no avail. I will keep this updated should I find a solution

Hey Guys. We’re adding some VIP functionality to this. Probably as a new add-on Plugin.

As a site owner you’ll be able to setup a support forum AND distribute a plugin that allows your users to see their posts and make bbPress posts from their WP dashboard.

Do you think there is a demand for this?

Hey guys. I’m looking for an experianced bbPress 2.0 dev to help us customize all the bbPress screens / pages on the getshopped.org site.

[miruru]

Not sure where this should be posted, here or on buddypress.

I currently have buddypress 1.5-beta-3 and bbpress 2.0-rc-5 running on my test site and I would like to hide the topics and reply count via the functions.php.

I am also using a custom child theme so that any modifications will not be overridden after updating. The only thing I have in my custom child theme is a blank style.css. I tried entering some styling into the blank stylesheet but nothing is displayed, it’s as though it is ignoring my stylesheet and retaining the default especially the next gallery css but this is another issue. Whenever I add a functions.php with something in this, the site falls over.

Anyway, what coding would I add into the custom child theme functions file? I know that if I copy all of the bbp_list_forums(), I will get an error to say it cannot be redeclare. By the way, the custom child theme is located in my themes folder.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Best way is to try out the bbPress plugin for WordPress.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

It tries really hard to make creating a forum as easy as possible. Depending on your theme, it should integrate into your existing site without any issues. You will need to configure a few things, so read some of the sticky topics here and post up new topics if you have questions.

Hi guys,

I’ve already got a website which is going to have around 100+ pages when complete and I’m looking to add a forum. It’s a wordpress website. I was wondering whether I have to register a new url and link from my main website to a specific solo bbpress forum website… or can i just create it as an extension of my current website (that would be most preferrable).

this may be a stupid question but I am completely inexperienced with forums so I’ve decided the best way for a quick and efficient resolution was to ask

help would be sincerely appreicated

So if I am using buddypress and bbpress together, what files would I change or edit if I wanted to change the way bbpress looked in terms of integration with buddypress? would I follow the sticky for theme compatibility under step 3 bullet number two and copy all the bbpress theme files over to the current buddypress theme? and edit as needed?

[mweatherill]

I’m running bbpress 2.0 rc-5 with the default styling included with bbPress. I have customized my theme functions to include forums, topics and replies in search results.

i.e.,

// Add Forums, Topics and Replies to search results

function my_add_bbp_to_search( $post_type ) {

$post_type['exclude_from_search'] = false;

return $post_type;

}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

When the first search result is a page or post, the results are formatted according to search.php (as expected):

http://www.climberswa.asn.au/?s=frankland

When the first search result is a forum, topic or reply, the results don’t use search.php and seem to render using bbpress template parts:

http://www.climberswa.asn.au/?s=albany

This looks particularly bad when the first result is a topic as it will display the threads:

http://www.climberswa.asn.au/?s=cawa

Is this a defect in bbpress intercepting the search or a limitation of using the default styling?

[Adam]

thank you

Install wordpress.

Search plugins for buddypress, install.

Search plugins for bbpress 2.0, install.

On the left hand panel under buddypress there will be an option for forums. Sync with existing bbpress install.

I have an install of WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.10. I am trying to install bbPress 2.0 rc5. The install goes well and I can successfully link it to BP but then when I go and view the site it is just a blank page.

This is a clean install with only one user as we are testing proof of concept for migrating our sites to WP/BP and the bbpress or WP/phpBB using the WP/phpBB Bridge.

I have over 10 years of web development experience but I am new to WP products.

[Adam]

What are the steps to set up bbpress and buddypress on the same site like the testbp.org? is it as simple as activating the bbpress plugin? can I integrate bbpress into the existing buddypress theme? via the steps posted in the sticky under step 3 bullet 2?

[Adam]

Sorry for the bumping, i can no longer edit my previous post. you should really set the time to like 9999 or something to allow for infinite editing.

Any ways:

The following: http://blackandwhite.web44.net/labs/topic/this-is-a-test-post/

if my site (I activated it so you can take a look and maybe poke around the css…Or at least get a better understanding of what I am talking about)

So how did I get here?

I followed:https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility step number 3 bullet 2. To a “T” what did you change? Nothing, well thats a lie, I removed side bar and the h1 title tag for the forum or topic you are in.

I then boiled it down to a theme issue. Something in my current theme is prevening the b tag, paragraphs and the blockquote tag from working.

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

[Adam]

The only modifications I made was following your instructions in terms of copying everything from the bbpress default theme over to the WordPress theme folder. Then all I was editing was the css…

Where in the css would be the paragraph tags for users reply box?

Also the HTML Tags that users can use don’t function either >_>

[danzigism]

Thanks for the insight John. I didn’t even notice it, but under the BP admin menu, there was a link to “Complete the bbPress” installation. Looks like simply following those installation steps automatically changed the slugs for me. Works like a champ. I appreciate all your help! Happy Monday.

[John James Jacoby]

This is partially addressed in bbPress RC 5. This happens when BuddyPress and bbPress are both trying to live in the same place on your site. You’ll need to change one of their slugs to be something other than “forums” and it should fix things.

[danzigism]

Good day,

I have BuddyPress installed and oddly enough, when I attempt to access http://domain.com/forums/forum/general for example, it simply redirects me to my homepage.

Whenever I disable BuddyPress, the bbPress forum loads up like a champ. What could be causing the redirect?

My index.php isn’t even used for this by the way. I’m using a static homepage as specified in my “Reading” options in WP. All loops are standard, headers and footers all include the wp_head() and wp_footer(). Weird how it only seems to happen when BuddyPress is enabled.

Hello Gautam,

I have created a new topic on my issue but still no one reply me on that.

Please reply it would be appreciated.

Hi; just checked the translation of bbPress 2 over at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/ and it’s seemingly lacking these two strings:

“This category contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.”

“This category contains %1$s and %2$s.”

[rossagrant]

Jeez, I didn’t know that was ready! That sounds awesome! So does the importer use the old ‘group’ names as forums or just import all of the posts in one forum?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I’m totally new to the standalone version.

[Gautam Gupta]

There is an importer that is bundled with bbPress plugin itself. Just navigate to Tools -> Importer -> bbPress Standalone and enter the path to the BuddyPress bbPress install (should get detected automatically) and you’d be good to go (backup must).

[rossagrant]

Ahh wow, cool, that looks great! I don’t have BB Press installed on my live site yet but will set up a test and have a look.

It would be awesome to place shortcodes on pages for stuff like this. Where you could perhaps show x number of latest topics etc.

Is there any news on an exporter by the way, to export old Buddypress groups/ forums into the new BB Press plugin.

I want to get rid of groups and just have some forums like on test-bp.org.

The group names would effectively become the main forum names and then the topics would appear in each forum.

Is that on the cards?

Thanks again!

[Gautam Gupta]

You can use this code (untested, but should work if bbPress is being loaded on that page):

if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );

@JJJ: I think we could allow such attributes in [bbp-topic-index] shortcode too?
