[PS Vita Forum]

Dear bbpress Experts,

How can i get the latest discussions in a topic but only for that category were the topic is in?

Lets say a have a topic in category games, then i would like to show the latest games category topics in the sidebar in that topic.

I have searched the forum and Google for this but still not come up with a solution…

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance.

The search in bbPress 2.0 is purposely limited. It’s possible to remove the restriction with code (a small plugin) but I wouldn’t recommend it, since the actual number of users that search your forums is surprisingly small.

For an example, had you searched these forums, you would have found several topics about this already. Instead you naturally skimmed the site, didn’t see an immediate answer anywhere, and asked your question.

just tell you one thing,

I deleted WangGuard a lot of hours ago, but you can still download.

I think I need to do something more…

Maybe a readme.txt?

Plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wangguard/

SVN repo: https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/wangguard/

branches, tags and trunk are empty…

Thank you

[John James Jacoby]

You can do that fairly easily by reading the plugin descriptions. Please understand that this is a transitional period for bbPress, and things are going to be a little confusing for a while.

Also, keep in mind that any bbPress plugins in the WordPress repo, were there for a very, very specific use case, where bbPress stand-alone was integrated with WordPress. That type of setup is considered ‘advanced’ by most users, so the audience is limited.

Lastly, browsing the plugin repo for ‘bbpress’ probably isn’t going to really provide you the results you want anyways. You’ll have better luck looking for the functionality you want, and then seeing how nicely bbPress plays with it.

[John James Jacoby]

Yes. Delete the plugin via your favorite FTP program, and see if things come back to normal. If so, you need to do some trouble shooting to see what the conflict is. If not, you still need to trouble shoot, but at least you know bbPress isn’t the problem.

@kineticlic – If I understand correctly, you’re saying you want to turn off the bbPress breadcrumb and use the one that comes with the theme? By doing this, chances are the theme’s breadcrumb won’t understand what to do with the bbPress specific pages.

[John James Jacoby]

Good question. The main reason it loads all the time is shortcodes. bbPress doesn’t have any way to know that the_content contains a shortcode when the head of the page is being processed, so including it all the time is the safest bet for most people.

If you want to dial in your installation, you can wrap the CSS enqueue in a is_bbpress() check. is_bbpress() returns true when WordPress is loading up a bbPress specific page.

hey guys,

i’m currently using a wpms installation and bbpress.

i would like to load the stylesheet which bbpress has, only to load on bbpress specific pages, why would it load on on the blogs startpage anyway?

is there a way to do that?

regards,

alex

I went this route too – BUT…

My problem was a bit like yours – whitespace on the site after install.

I have a theme I bought and after getting this plugin to work fine right out of the box (so to speak) on another purchased theme I thought it would be fine for this site. Anyway, after I installed this and set up a forum and few topics I went thru the site and noticed the forum pages would break (not the rest of the site just forum pages) – at the breadcrumb for the main site (not the bbp breadcrumb). Header would show, but no footer, nothing after the breadcrumb start. If I disable the breadcrumbs in the main theme everything is fine – course what I’d rather do is turn off the breadcrumbs for BBPress. I might not have searched the forum enough, but I love to know how to disable (not just hide) the bbp breadcrumb. Well I guess I would love to what’s causing the conflict, but there aren’t any errors being thrown and I don’t have the patience to investigate this out without some help. I’ve also contacted the theme maker but I thought I’d give this a try too.

John, if your out there, a little insight perhaps?

[tomerwin]

Thank you John, but reinstalling what? BBPress? How can I do that even though I can’t log into my WordPress dashboard? Do I have to delete the plugin folder via FTP? And would that be enough to get my WP dashboard back?

More insight would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.

[John James Jacoby]

Maybe an easier way to get a unique sidebar for your forums is to try this:

1. Make a file in your active theme called bbpress.php.

2. Copy the contents of your page.php into bbpress.php.

3. Instead of calling get_sidebar(), put your custom sidebar code there

4. Done.

Since you seem satisfied with everything else, this should be the easiest may to get by for now. I’ll take a look through the instructions again and try to put something more in-depth together soon.

[John James Jacoby]

Yay! Thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

Perfect. Happy to help, and happy you were able to figure it out. Good work!

[kamimado]

THANK YOU for teaching me something new.

That was, indeed, the problem. And, yes, I had installed a theme framework a couple days ago (Platform Pro).

I did a google search for the terms you mentioned and fixed the problem.

Thank you again.

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed.

[John James Jacoby]

You need to increase the amount of available memory on your server. I suspect you have other plugins or a theme framework active also, as WordPress + bbPress alone shouldn’t be pushing 32Mb.

Do a Google search on increasing available memory for your server configuration. There are different ways to do it depending on your level of access and/or experience.

[kamimado]

I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and installed the bbpress 2.0 RC4 plugin. Immediately after activating the plugin, I could no longer access anything on my site. Not the home page. Not the Dashboard. What I keep getting are the following errors.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in/home4/paperwin/public_html/yousuckatkorean/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/bbp-settings.php on line 589



Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in/home4/paperwin/public_html/yousuckatkorean/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2624



Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in/home4/paperwin/public_html/yousuckatkorean/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2631

I searched the support forum for “error after install bbpress 2011” but couldn’t find much.

I tried re-uploading the bbpress plugin folder, but to no avail.

It seems like a WordPress issue rather than a server issue since the server is telling me that my error is coming from the WP directory, and I’m able to access other sites on the same server.

Any ideas on how to solve? Is it safe to simply delete the bbpress plugin folder? Will that solve the problem?

I don’t know what the ‘taxonomy.php’ file does. Should I re-upload a virgin copy of it?

Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thank you!

regards,

Ryan

Sorry, not sure if someone can edit the title and my post, but it is Jigoshop, not Jigashop … always type that wrong, hehe. May help later for someone searching.

[sulliwane2]

Thank you, guys !!! This is great stuff your doing here, and i like it 😮

This was a concern with using custom post types. There isn’t a guaranteed way to position top level admin menus. This is th first conflict I’ve heard of.

[be.green]

i’m having the same problem.

I’ve set up a bbpress forum and followed all of the instructions available on the documentation for integrating wordpress and bbpress. All is well until I attempt to Deep Integrate by editing the ‘bb-config.php’ file adding:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

When this line is included in the bb-config.php file I receive an “HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.” in chrome and just a blank white page in firefox when attempting to view the bbpress page (mysite.com/forum) without first having signed into wordpress.

when i sign into wordpress first and then browse to mysite.com/forum, the bbpress front page appears but i have to resubmit credentials. if i sign out of bbpress then i get the error/blank page again.

of interest is when i replace define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); with define(‘WP_CACHE’, false); in wordpress’s wp-config.php file – the error/blank page issue goes away, i am able to access bbpress (mysite.com/forum) without first having signed into wordpress – but the user and cookie integration FAIL still occurs –

I appreciate any insight.

Hey guys,

noticed someone a while back mentioned the body_class function was returning the class error404 on single user page,

just wanted to +1 on that, kinda awkward~ anywone else still facing this issue?

I moved all templates into my custom theme, it was not happening when the theme was not moved over (weird) I can provide a print out of wp_query if that helps,

Version: SVN plugin branch

How to Reproduce:

Copy bbp-twentyten files into your WP theme

Navigate to your user profile page

Make sure you print out body_class somewhere…

View Source

Also I wasnt sure what to do about the functions.php in bbp-twentyten so I copied into my theme as bp-functions.php and included it though my functions.php,, hope that was right…

If you can’t reproduce this then you can call me a monkeys bottom and Ill go eat a banana.

Pulled my hair out a few hours on this one … not sure why I didn’t dig into the plugins initially and look for this, but must have been sleep deprived as usual

It seems bbPress 2.0 and Jigashop use the exact same menu positions … so when I installed bbPress (jigashop already installed) … I could not for the life of me figure out how to create forums… after searching around i saw that there was indeed supposed to be a Forums custom post type menu, but in my installation I could not find it.

So, yeah if anyone else needs to install these 2 plugins then just find menu_position where the custom post types are setup and change them to be unique numbers.

Hopefully this will be helpful to the next person that encounters this.

Right now the loop replies is calling the loop as follows:

<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>



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



<?php endwhile; ?>

This is combining the topic and the replies into the same query to be output by the loop-single-reply.php template file.

Request:

Separate out the calls to get the topic and then the replies after that function. (use 2 sep functions to call topics/replies)

Reason:

It is VERY difficult for me to style the original topic separately from the replies.

*Yes, I know that everything is currently in a table format so styling topics and replies is not really feasible, however I am working on building some custom forum templates without tables. This would make building custom templates a bit easier.

agree?
