Im new to both wordpress and bbPress forum, however i got it to work and both the website and forum are up and running.

The only problem i have is: I cant seem to figure out how to link my forum to one of the menu bar buttons. Lets say i have a menu button called ” Community Forum “, when someone klicks that menu button i want the forum to show.

How do i link the forum page to the Community Forum menu bar button? Ive pulled my hair for hours trying to figure this out.

Oh, one more thing. What file should i edit to fix the background and text on the forum?

Thats all, thanks for a lovely plugin!

I have recently installed the most current version of the bbPress plugin. All appears to be working well but for some reason I don’t see any links for users to subscribe to RSS feeds. I see a couple of admin settings for RSS, but within the forums themselves I see no way to subscribe. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

I would like for users to be able to subscribe to all forums as well as individual threads. Similar to what we have here on the bbPress site.

If there is any documentation or threads on this, can someone please point me to them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is there a simpler (more consolidated) theme I could use as a template? I used bbPress a while back and I don’t remember it being this convoluted.

[webmasterfaqs]

I find it astonishing that there are a hundred template files with no explanation as to what any of them do.

I installed bbPress on top of WordPress. Can somebody help me out here? I’m trying to separate postings (space them apart so their not so close to each other) by using my CSS file, but for the life of me I can’t get it to work, although I am able to make other alterations.

Any suggestions?

This can be easily done with plugins which do it for WordPress like this one.

Hi Jared,

I have also been beating my head against the wall on this, and was thrilled to find your post above.

May I ask what the bug is in Genesis?

What do you think are the odds core will be updated?

I’ll release a plugin that should prevent this issue from happening for others who are looking to run bbPress with Genesis.

Any chance you have the plugin done?

I am working on a pro-bono site for a not-for-profit, and trying to use BuddyPress 1.5 and bbpress 2.0. Been going ok, other than this issue.

Thanks!

Apparently not. It seems you’re supposed to turn off Buddypress Forum functionality, and bbPress will integrate itself with Buddypress.

It would be nice to see some 2.0 documentation.

I am really liking 2.0 so far.

[highexistence]

I have the same question as @enderandrew – do you choose to point the Buddypress install at the bbpress plugin? I was not able to locate a bb-config.php within the bbpress 2.0 plugin.

bbPress Signatures:

i tried to change the bb-attachments.php and the line:

‘.signature {clear:both;border-top:1px solid #222; font-size:85%; color:#777;padding:1em;}’ <

---

the font-size:0.87em;

but the changes wont show in main page. if i check via the chrome developer tool i see this when i target the div:

.signature {

padding: 1em;

border-top: 1px solid #CCC;

font-size: 0.87em;

color: #444;

its unchanged even after i changed the php file. do you know if i need to update some other file? cant see anything in the style.css file atleast.

cheers

@JohnJamesJacoby – First off, excellent work. Beautiful system. However, sorry to disagree with you, but I believe Anthony is right that there’s a problem with the plugin with both logging in and logging out (particularly when using the sidebar widget). Here’s why…

I’m testing with the bbPress RC4 installed in a WP 3.2.1 Network config using sub-directory instead of sub-domain (no BuddyPress installed, just bbPress … no other plugins installed. – I have also tested with another sidebar login plugin and everything worked fine, but I’ve uninstalled it, and when I use the bbPress login widget I get problems.) If I use the bbPress login widget and enter the right credentials it logs me in and redirects me to [site]/[site]/ which obviously a problem.

When I inspect the Login button element for the bbPress login widget I see:

<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">

<input class="user-submit" type="submit" tabindex="104" value="Log In" name="user-submit">

<input type="hidden" value="1" name="user-cookie">

<input type="hidden" value="http://[host]/[site]/[site]/" name="redirect_to">

<input id="_wpnonce" type="hidden" value="299cce3d83" name="_wpnonce">

<input type="hidden" value="/[site]/" name="_wp_http_referer">

</div>

Since the problem is with the redirect_to hidden value, my guess is that there’s a problem with either

$redirect_to = apply_filters( ‘bbp_user_login_redirect_to’, ” );

or

bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to );

which are called from bbp_user_login_fields() in the bbp-user-template.php file.

….

Moving on to Log out

…

If you correct the URL so that you’re back a the page for your site, you can now see the Gravitar, your name, and the log out link.

Again, inspecting the log out element we get:

<a href="http://[host]/[site]/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=c08ad91218&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2F[host]%2F[site]%2F[site]%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue">Log Out</a>

Again, the link to the wp-login.php is fine… it’s the redirect_to afterwards that has the site name twice that’s the problem.

I’ve also noticed that if the bbPress plugins is activated the WordPress meta for log out includes the redirect_to [site]/[site]/

If the bbPress plugin is deactivated the native WordPress meta for log out reverts back to normal (without the redirect_to).

With bbPress installed:

<a href="http://[host]/[site]/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=07d2823a80&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2F[host]%2F[site]%2F[site]%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue">Log out</a>

Without bbPress installed:

<a href="http://[host]/[site]/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=07d2823a80">Log out</a>

Hello

I am using a paid membership plugin on my site which has a conditional function which you can use to check if a user is a paid member

Now I don’t where to put that function in bbpress files or which hook to use to show a not allowed message when a non paying member tries to open the forum

It would be grea tif some could point me in the right direction or just tell me in which file to look for.. I am guessing I can use the same function bbpress uses to check if the forum in private or public

Thanks.

See how the poll appears on the right hand side? I wouldn’t mind but you can’t see all of it. Can I change it to appear above the first topic response.

This is the CSS code within the plugin;

#bb_polls {list-style: none; width:35em; line-height:120%; margin:5px 0; padding:5px; border:1px solid #ADADAD; font-size:90%; color:#000; background:#eee; }

#bb_polls .submit {cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; text-align:center; padding:2px 5px;}

#bb_polls .nowrap {white-space:nowrap;}

#bb_polls p {margin:15px 0;padding:0;}

#bb_polls .poll_question, #bb_polls .poll_footer {font-weight:bold; text-align:center; color:#2E6E15;}

#bb_polls .poll_label {font-weight:bold; margin:1em 0 1em 1em;}

#bb_polls .poll_option {overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap; margin:2px 0 -2px 0; text-align:center; font-size:11px; line-height:9px; padding:1px 0 0 0; border:1px solid #303030; color:#fff; }

#bb_polls .poll_option1 {background:red;}

#bb_polls .poll_option2 {background:green;}

#bb_polls .poll_option3 {background:blue;}

#bb_polls .poll_option4 {background:orange;}

#bb_polls .poll_option5 {background:purple;}

#bb_polls .poll_option6 {background:pink;}

#bb_polls .poll_option7 {background:olive;}

#bb_polls .poll_option8 {background:navy;}

#bb_polls .poll_option9 {background:teal;}

#bb_polls .poll_option10 {background:aqua;}

#bb_polls .poll_option11 {background:maroon;}

#bb_polls .poll_option12 {background:fuchsia;}

It is the blank 3 column theme. I am using bbpress 1.0.3

[ja_santacruz]

Hey all,

My first time using bbpress. I have the Blank3coll theme. I wish to add a site logo to the forum. I guess i do this in header.php.

Does anybody have a tutorial on how to do this?

Thank You,

Kind Regards,

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a way that users – when registering can enter their own passwords rather than the auto-generated one? I think it’s a much more efficient way to ensure people keep coming back,

This is for BBPress Plugin 2.0 btw,

Thanks

I experimented making a bbp-clockstone child theme in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/themes/bbp-themes and that seems to somewhat work. Except I notice my pages are still pulling css from:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/themes/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css

I should be pulling CSS from:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/themes/bbp-themes/bbp-clockstone/css/bbpress.css

[enderandrew]

Can I move the css file somewhere in my theme so that I don’t lose css changes when I update the plugin?

My site uses a dark background with white text, so I have white on white text with your toolbar.

[tme2]

How can I have the forums list from the main page (bbpress plugin). Example, right now it is the catergory, then forums:

category

– forum, forum, forum , forum, etc.

category

– forum, forum, etc

I want:

category

– forum

– forum

– forum

category

– forum

– etc.

Thanks in advance

[enderandrew]

I’m using a custom theme (Clockstone) that is based on dark colors. The default twentyten theme doesn’t work for me.

So I copied all the single-*, archive-*, page-* files, as well as the bbpress, css and js files into the root of my theme.

So I have wp-content/themes/Clockstone/single-forum.php as an example

I editted the css file to fit my color scheme. But once I add:

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

to my functions.php then bbpress breaks completely, and all my forum links return 404 errors. If I remove that line, then the urls and forums work, but with the default theme.

I’m using the latest trunk as of today. Any suggestions?

[enderandrew]

Other than Attachments and Post Toolbar, what bbPress plugins are compatible with bbPress 2.0?

[enderandrew]

BuddyPress 1.5 asks if you’d like to point to an existing stand-alone bbPress install. Should I point it at the bbPress 2.0 install, or disable forums via BuddyPress as suggested above?

And I’m assuming you’d want to turn on the BuddyPress component of: “Site Tracking: Make BuddyPress aware of new posts and new comments from your site.”

bbPress posts are basically WordPress posts (using custom post types). I’m assuming this Site Tracking feature is how bbPress posts show up in the BuddyPress activity stream.

[John James Jacoby]

You’ll want to contact WangGuard’s plugin author here:

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

Seems the problem is unrelated to bbPress. There are several other users with issues too.

https://wordpress.org/tags/wangguard

[John James Jacoby]

There are existing plugins in place to help connect the two separate installations together if you want to use bbPress 1.x. Overall, you will probably have much better luck and a better experience using bbPress 2.0.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks for the report. See #1619 for details and fix.

[Mon Aug 29 22:41:45 2011] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_active() in /var/www/x/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-buddypress.php on line 172

The page won’t load(completely blank). I get that when I try to activate the buddyPress plugin, using the bbPress 2.0 and the buddyPress 1.5, both from the SVN repository.

This is due to one of the latest changes because it did work a few days ago.

By the way, any idea when are this plugins going to be released as stable? I am looking forward to using BuddyPress 1.5 in my web site(http://www.opes.es/) where I am already using bbPress 2.0.

Thank you.
