I am a relative novice, so forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place. I searched and didn’t see an appropriate topic.

On my bbPress Forum page, I have used shortcodes as follows:

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

bbp-lost-pass]

[bbp-topic-index]

The topic index overlays other text on the page, specifically, “Viewing 2 topics – 1 through 2 of 2.”

The url is http://bulimiatips.org/forum-2/ if you wish to see what I am talking about.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it?

Thanks.

Sticky order is based on the last post time, and bbPress treats them differently than other forum software does. They aren’t “super stickies” or “announcements” but rather stickies that appear at the top of the topic index, or are “Stuck to Front.”

Hi,

A newer update for bbpress-2.0-rc-4 has been made.

Regards, François.

If you have the time to properly integrate your themes, go for the plugin. If not, then standalone and migrate later (only if you’re integrating the user tables if you have a WP blog).

Hi all,

I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.

This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.

I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.

Here is the issue which I need help with:

With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.

I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.

The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.

Any help appreciated.

Paul

Here’s my dilemma:

I need to add a forum section to one of my sites ASAP. I have experience using the stand alone version of bbPress as I use it for two different sites and I feel comfortable using it. I’ve been testing the plugin version, which looks great but honestly I don’t have the time right now to look into it very much and I’m feeling a bit frustrated trying to make it work as I want to.

My question is: Should I go with the stand alone version until things are stable enough and then migrate to the plugin version or am I getting myself into more trouble in the long run?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That won’t be a good fix. Looking into making the redirect smarter.

Hi guys ,

I couldn’t install v2 rc4 in my wordpress (latest version with mysql5 and php5). I have this error:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php on line 1572

Any chance to resolve this problem without increasing my php memory? I just increased it up to 40MB with php.ini because of other plugins and my host (1&1) told me that 40 MB is the max they allow.

Thanks in advance

A.

Marking resolved, as I’ve figured it all out.

Another good read from @theurbantwist regarding theme issues:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hopefully-this-helps-someone-out-there

[janoochen]

bbpress adds the prefix forum, topic and reply in each of those custom post types.

For instance:

“Topic: This is a new topic.”

I think I know the reason of adding this feature, but it looks pretty ugly in search results and when you share the topics on facebook.

Is there any way of removing them?

Hey John,

sorry to re-open this thread.

i just found something interesting, the »tags« page (ie: https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/stylesheet) is the only one which doesn’t recognize the is_bbpress() check.

[soggybiscuit]

Hi

I have found a patch that has worked for me and perhaps you may want to incorporate it into the plugin….

This is not my fix – details can be found at:

http:// brassblogs.com /cms-platforms/wordpress/wp_logout_url-agh

It worked for my installation so perhaps will be of general use.

Cheers

Does this little bit of code in the functions.php work? Is this the plugin you are talking about?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

I’ve actually tried using the search bar here several times but it wasn’t working for a while, it was just bring up a broken page (I don’t think it was a 404). But it seems to be working now.

Is there any way to create two separate search bars? Or drop down options like in Buddypress to search Members, Groups, Forums, Posts?

I got a little more info from the theme (Sofa OPNPress from ThemeForest) owner… these are his words exactly:

“Yeap, I’m afraid breadcrumbs will not work with BBpress. And I think there’s no function or a plugin that will actually do the job properly. This theme is using Dimox breadcrumbs function (see http://sum.mx/4apyd2). Maybe you could ask for author advice on that subject… as far as I can see all the breadcrumbs logic relies on if-else clauses and if there’s a clause that can be used to “detect” BBpress – you are on the horse.”

To answer your question, and I’m sure I’m over simplifying, I guess I was just going to use short codes to get the forums to show up and then rely on the built in breadcrumbs to do their job. But if I could figure out at least what is causing the conflict and causing the page to break the I could fix that and if 2 breadcrumbs were show I’d settle for that. Or, said a different way, if the main site breadcrumbs are more important to me than the forum breadcrumbs if that makes sense.

I’m more of a frontend coder with the ability to do minor tweaking to existing function files which is why I’ve gotten to this point. It’s a bit over my head on how best to address it. I hate being the unique scenario guy but would love to use bbpress for facilitating my community interaction. Any more help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks!!

Does the bbPress plugin (2.0-RC-4) allow shortcodes from other plugins?

I wish to enter a poll into a discussion using wp-polls, but the shortcode comes through instead of the poll.

Thanks!

[travis.hill]

Thanks @JohnJamesJacoby. Your contributions throughout bbPress are greatly appreciated.

I may have jumped the gun with my initial post, as I’ve gotten it to work how I desire.

I had to edit more files than I at first realized, and everything is working a treat.

Thanks again for your continued support and development. It is truly appreciated.

Hey John,

thanks for your quick reply.

Hello John, that sounds like a good plan.

I’ll give it a try, thanks!

Hi, I´m testing bbPress 2, it works fine, but when I enter at the forum instead of appearing on the screen with the threads posted’ll stop at the desk with a summary of threads, etc..

Someone can tell me how to make upon entering the forum leads me to the threads published directly, bypassing the desktop? The theme is Andreas 09 Ciberpress.

Thanks and greetings.

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.

[John James Jacoby]

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.

[Jose Conti]

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.

[John James Jacoby]

@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.
