John I’ve question about that the Date function must be in ThemeFunctions or no, that is in bbPress Core and I need to convert that to jDate function?

We coded a plugin that with found jDate in somewhere will convert it into Jalali date but I don’t know we must with require_once function include the core or no, the theme must have the jDate…

And can you say when will you work on the perevius versions? And when the stable 2.0 come (cause of that we need to prepare to support it too!)?

Thanks…

Hello,

I just set BBpress up on our website and everything works fine except for when I click on my username and the profile page comes up. It appears like this

I’m not sure why that text is aligned all the way to the right side of the page, but if I could get some help it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Not sure where to post this issue, but I am getting the following error post install….

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/content/22/7322322/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 117

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I confirm. bbPress 2.0 rc4 works fine with subscribe topic via e-mail.

[Jaja..]

Something else i was thinking about..

What if i make this loop-single-forum template file empty..

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'single-forum' ); ?>

And after that i include a PHP code that says..

If forum_ID = ‘2’ go get file loop-single-forum-2.php

if forum_ID = ‘4’ go get file loop-single-forum-4.php

if forum_ID = ’14’ go get file loop-single-forum-12.php

Else die or loop-single-forum.php

Would that help me out?

Hi John,

I got my forums to show after following the install steps again. I copied the files from the bbp-twentyten folder to my main theme folder and then added the line: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

to my functions.php file (inside this main theme folder, not the one in wp-includes…I’m assuming this is correct?)

The forum now shows, but the styling is all messed up. Is there any way to have the forum follow the formatting/style of my current theme without having to edit a bunch of CSS? The theme I’m using is a custom build which I did not create so it’s been a struggle to figure out what’s going on with it. Here’s a link to my forum page:

http://foreverathletes.com/forums/forum/community-2/

If I merge the contents of the bbp-twentyten functions.php file with my own functions.php, some styling is brought in, but it’s still a mess. I realize you’re not here to help with design aspects, but is there any way to get the plugin to just work with my current styling?

I’ll offer up some points on clarification in a few.

Thanks for the help.

How to do something like that, man, it looks A.W.S.O.M.E. )

Any guide, tips?

[Anointed]

#1 are you running the old 1x vs. of bbpress or the new plugin?

(I would suggest the plugin for sure as it’s the most updated)

#2 if you are not then here is the page to find the download to the plugin

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

*on the bottom of the page is the download link. Keep in mind that this is the most recent vs. and it changes almost daily until everything is finalized.

You simply click that link, save the file to your computer, and then go to your wp installation. In there you will use ftp to go into your wp-content/plugins/ folder.

#3 From there create a folder called bbpress inside the plugins directory.

#4 Upload the plugin you downloaded to your plugins folder

(browse the bbpress download and go into the folders until you see bbp-admin, bbp-includes, etc folders. You upload those into the bbpress folder that you created in your plugins folder)

Structure should look like

wp-content

–plugins

—-bbpress

---

bbp-admin

---

bbp-includes

---

etc….

#5 From there simply activate the plugin.

There are other steps needed to get the forums working properly in wp and your theme, but the above instructions will at least get you going.

So, I decided to work fairly hard and invest a lot of resources into creating a gaming website. I have been pretty impressed with indie games lately, and decided to start a nice area where I can highlight some of the better ones and maybe talk to developers and post things like great soundtracks and art.

*Ahem* Apparently things have changed a little since I learned HTML in…1998 lol That being said I feel pretty stupid and have some very basic questions to ask. If these answers are somewhere on the bbPress site I apologize, I did some cursory perusing of the forums and didn’t find what I needed and because I’m on a bit of a time crunch decided a post would be quicker.

From what the internet tells me WordPress is a nice content managing/blogging platform and bbPress is the way to go if I want a forum. I have downloaded and activated both the bbPress and bbPress Integration plug ins through my WordPress.

My question is…where is it? Do I have to FTP any files onto the server? Is there a link somewhere I’m missing? Any (very patient) help would be appreciated. Thank you

There are WordPress plugins to block users of certain roles from viewing your admin area.

[John James Jacoby]

@jloosli – it seems like bbPress isn’t active for you anymore. Even http://powerofmoms.com/users/admin/ returns a 404.

[Jaja..]

I’ve got this..

(changed all linking files by adding a -4)

<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/loop’, ‘single-forum-4’ ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Problem is i have to tell bbp_forums to only get and show forum ID 4.

I would like to list every forum ID on it’s own template like this:

My new Forum

Install (forum-ID=2)

troubles (forum-ID=4)

plugins (forum-ID=14)

Now i have given each forum it’s own ID and own template file by duplicating the original template file that bbPress uses for every forum ID and adding an it’s unique forum ID number behind it.

Everything is going fine the right files are been read the only problem i face is i can’t find a way to say only export forum ID-4 in ID-4 template file.

Now i get this on my homepage.

My new Forum

install (forum-ID=2)

install (forum-ID=2)

install (forum-ID=2)

troubles (forum-ID-4)

troubles (forum-ID-4)

troubles (forum-ID-4)

plugins (forum-ID=14)

plugins (forum-ID=14)

plugins (forum-ID=14)

I think i have to do something with WP Query’s i think?

But where, who and when?

Would be very nice if somebody knows the answer to this.

[jloosli]

I’m having the same problem…I installed bbPress about two months ago and it worked right out of the box, then I got going on other things and just came back to work on it again and I can’t get the forums to display. If I go to the forum page, it has the title; but before, there was a listing of forums and I could navigate through to the topics. I’ve tried using the shortcodes and they work fine, but I’d like to get things working through the standard hierarchy (e.g. forums, topics, etc.).

I’ve cleared the cache, flushed the permalinks, and changed the name of all the slugs (they’re currently changed back to the default names), uninstalled, then reinstalled the plugin (but didn’t delete settings from the database). Also, I know I’ve updated the plugin at least once since first installing it.

Some sample pages:

http://powerofmoms.com/forums/ (should show listing of all forums, but just get blank page)

http://powerofmoms.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/ (should show topics for this particular forum. Shows description text, but no listing of topics)

I haven’t made any changes at all to the template yet…just wanting to get things working again. Any suggestions?

Hello anointed and thank you for trying to help.

I read what you told me in a forum so I tryied to keep the functions.php and the style.php from the custom template, I also deleted the theme from wp-content/themes and uploaded it again with the following steps: first the bbp-twentyten files and after it the theme itself in order to overwrite the bbp-twentyten files (style.php / functions.php) . I also checked what are the contents of the style.css and it is the contents of the custom theme. There might be something else that I am missing.

Thank you for trying to help though, really appreciated!

[John James Jacoby]

Update: This will be fixed in bbPress 2.0 final.

[jonzone]

Well i have just installed bbpress, and I really do like the look and feel of it. The only couple of things I do not like are, it is not possible to add images to a post. I did try the bb-attachments plugin, but this threw up errors, so i had to remove it. The other thing i am not too keen on, and this is when members are logged in, they can go to the back end. I do not like embers going into the back end, it is confusing for them, plus it does not look very neat. It would be so much better, if it was possible to keep members on the front end, and add info to their profiles from there!

[WebEndev]

I found a way around it using Admin Menu Editor plugin.

It would still be nice to have an option within bbpress to control this.

[Gautam Gupta]

Yes, if I remember correctly, groups are created as forums internally in bbPress and are sub-ordinate or children of a parent forum created by BuddyPress. When you’re done with your import, you can easily move out all of the forums from that parent and do a recount. Sorry for the late reply.

[tyskkvinna]

I tried to do this and buddypress won’t let me integrate them– it looks for a bb-config file which apparently does not exist. Ideas?

[ns32]

Thanks BJ!

Unfortunately, though, that didn’t work for me. I still can’t access my templates on the admin page that creates forums, so I still can’t add a widgetized sidebar on the forum pages.

Sigh.

[Jaja..]

I found a problem,

I have a WP Multisite installation and when i log-in and log-out the redirect ends up on a 404 page. (only on WP multi sites)

http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/example.nl/members/?loggedout=true

I’m just testing offline at the moment.

http://localhost.sites/example.nl/ <– WordPress homepage

http://localhost.sites/example.nl/members/ <– 2nd WordPress site (WPMU) with bbPress forum.

[Jaja..]

This is what i did and worked for me.

I do have a WP Multi-site installation but i don’t think it’s different on a normal WP install.

*My root

wp-content > themes > <first theme> <second theme> <twenty ten> <twenty eleven>

First theme is the theme i was using on my WordPress website.

After that i created an empty folder called second theme

I copy-/pasted all files from the bbPress plugin folder into the empty second theme folder i just created.

From:

*plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twetyten > All files and folders from here (without the bolded bbp-twentyten folder)

Now if you go into your style.css in the second theme folder you see that this one is empty and it says it will call the css > bbpress.css from the functions.php file. <– now also inside that second theme folder.

But at the top of this style.css file you see some theme info it just looks like some regular junk-talk (theme info) but it really isn’t junk-talk but very important, at the last line of code it says template name: (twenty ten) (if i remember correct) If you change that to (first theme) in my case and save it you’re done.

Now it will load first theme as a main theme and second theme as your child theme (with your bbPress files inside)

It’s very cool because if you add a new page from your admin you can also pick different bbPress page templates.

Example, you can create a new page and add from the template drop down menu (right-side sidebar) the login bbPress page template and you will get a login-page.

This is all i did and it worked out for me, the add theme support function i never added because it’s also inside the functions.php file in your second theme folder.

Hope this will help somebody here.

[ns32]

I’m very excited to use this great tool, but I would second what BJ and Dagnabbit said immediately above.

My child theme already has a functions.php file. Copying all the files from the /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten folder, as instructed, would overwrite the existing child theme’s functions.php file. How should we integrate them?

My goal is just to be able to put bbpress widgets in the sidebar of only my site’s forum pages. I think I need to create a template that uses a special sidebar for this. Right now, when I create forums in the admin section, I can’t access any of my other templates.

Thanks!
