As for me, I’m using a custom WP theme and I have the plug-in in the specified folder, but I can’t get to the bbpress configuration screen. I get 404 errors, I get nothing (just see my home page). What do I do?

The only thing I can think of is Nicer Permalinks https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/ its not exactly what you are looking for but its the next best thing

Can someone take a look at my forum page and let me know some reasons as to why my forum isn’t showing up?

I’ve followed all instructions to a “T” and I’m obviously moving in the right direction because my “Theme natively supports bbPress” as stated in the dashboard admin panel and on my forum page, it’s at least labeled at the top in the breadcrumbs section that it’s a forum but that’s pretty much it.

Also I know that things are installed properly with the plugin because when I switch theme to default it works as is.

I just want to know if I’m missing something. I’ve moved all relevant files into my theme folder, and like I said before I’ve followed instructions to a “t” and I’m pretty knowledgeable with wordpress and theme customization but can’t figure this out at the moment.

Any suggestions?

I would create a child theme of twenty-ten if that is what you are working from. I would then add in all the bbpress template files into your new child theme and modify everything from there.

That is kind of the concept of child themes, where you can modify to your hearts delight without fear of upgrading the primary themes and loosing your changes.

There are hundreds of great articles online dealing with child-themes.

I didn’t play with it much, and can’t confirm that this works across all browsers, but from a quick test it only took me one line of css in order to achieve what you were after.

.bbp-forums { border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 2px 50px; float: left; width: 100%; }

**This is going to be much easier when working with a theme that does not use tables, as you can’t apply margins to table cells like you would expect with normal divs.

Hello. I installed bbpress, but when I go to domain.com/fourms, it seems to be using the page.php template. I do not have any theme integration, all I want is the same as the shortcode. When you go to domain.com/forums, the list of fourms appear.

What can I do? I tried putting archive-forums.php and others into my template dir with no luck.

if I create a new page, add in the shortcode, then the forums breadcrumb still links to the non page.

You’d probably just need a plugin like you have for WordPress to upload avatars like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-local-avatar/

You may need to fiddle with your theme, depending on how the plugin works, but as bbPress runs via CPTs it should just pull it in.

[adv_user]

In fact, if you see my posts, two years ago, I sought it, at the time that the integration with WordPress was difficult:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-subforum-change-css

Now bbPress has evolved a lot, because it has become plugin an easily integrated with the WordPress and BuddyPress.

So I’m sure that soon this will be improved organization of categories.

@anointed:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-sub-forums#post-11762

Joining the contents of these two topics that I passed the link, you can get what they want (as you yourself said, tks), but let’s be honest…

It is not easy for those who are only user

(not even a beginning programmer)

In other forums it is ready. Simply create categories and forums by default that the organization already does this separation. It should also be standard in bbPress.

If you do not want the separation of categories, will not do it, but it uses different categories is because you want to be separated for better organization.

So it is ideal to be implemented this improvement, and as you mentioned, many other features (as plugins).

And preferably, as plugins for WordPress, which can be installed and automatically updated directly by the panel without having to use FTP, as are separate plugins bbPress.

Suggestion:

is that all plugins from bbPress and BuddyPress, stay in the WordPress directory, thus it will be much easier to use them.

It is currently possible with the default theme and does not really require any php knowledge. You will spend 90% of your time simply modifying the css in order to get the results you are asking for.

There are a few functions to move around in order to get the exact layout, but that is simply a matter of moving functions around the templates and not writing new functions.

*Now in order to get the full ‘functionality’ of the forums you are talking about, then yeah, that would take a considerable amount of coding work to write all the needed functionality. I fully expect to see many of those features coming in the form of plugins though.

I am importing my vbulletin forum into bbpress and all is working perfectly. I do have one request though.

My old permalink structure is website.com/Community/forum-name/postname.html

I had no problem getting the Community to replace the standard ‘forums’ in the admin panel.

What I need help with is how to change the single post view url to the above scheme.

Currently bbpress does website.com/Community/topic/topic-name

I want to replace topics with the name of the forum the post is in, and if it’s a grandchild forum have it /forum-name/sub-forum-name/post-name.html

any advice?

[bethfly]

Nevermind. I figured it out. On Install.php page, had to open “Advanced Settings” and enter the full name of the Host as well.

[Gautam Gupta]

Yes, you’re right.

Sorry I don’t have any plugins or represent their interest… I was just posting and got back into this thread… from the other one for plugins… It is easy to get misplaced for us newbies…

I guess the main point was that I fixed a … hook issue by reinstalling the RC3 software which I had noticed had several rewrites. You seem to be making constant changes…

Is it dangerous to up date our release’s when you are making incremental changes and should we only do an update when absolutely necessary?

Or is this something that helps you troubleshoot on your end…

So far it does seem to be working good except for Monday’s 404 glitch that was cleared by “a save” of the forum page… But other than that, that was the first issue I’ve had with it..

Well done, I’d say.

John, thanks for the reply.

I’d like to contribute, but unfortunately do not have sufficient knowledge in PHP. But that is a important upgrade to the bbPress be used for large forums that have many categories.

So will a great organization.

Currently, to do this I believe that only with an own theme, right?

Since bbpress 2.x hasn’t had a proper stable release yet (the beta and release candidates so far have been good though!) there are not too many plugins yet.

Plugins for bbpress 2.x can be found in the WordPress repository, just search for bbpress:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress&sort=new

As for a text editor, you might want to try this:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

Hi eevryone, ı am new this forum. I have installed bbpress 1.0.3 and bbress 2.0 as plugins version.

Now it seems , plugin version will be developed but as if 1.0.3 version is very nice…

But there is no more plugins for 2.02 version or I did not find them?

Do you know for example text editor plugin for 2.0 version?

I used bbPress plugin to an existing WordPress installation and it works great. I wanted also to allow users to upload their own avatars. For that purpose I installed Loise Dade’s Avatar Upload plugin, but upon activation, nothing really happens.

Is there a way I can allow users to upload avatars when bbPress is installed as a plugin?

[Milan Petrovic]

No, problem is with bbPress. When the permalinks in WordPress are enabled, this works fine. If the permalinks are disabled, URL’s are not generated properly, and some parts of URL are missing. I have confirmed this with TwentyTen theme built in bbPress. All tested with lates bbPress from SVN trunk.

[Anthony]

This is a bug with the plugin, the plugin doesn’t expect the /forum to be there so it adds its own, causing a conflict with the site. Maybe contacting the plugin creator and telling him about this bug will help.

Hi. I installed bbpress 2 years ago and then removed all the program files via FTP after all the php files got hacked, but I just noticed that the database files are still there. I would like to reinstall bbpress and reconnect to that database to preserve the old posts.

I have uploaded the latest bbpress install files to my site and can access the install screen http://myplasticfreelife.com/discuss/install.php. But when I enter the database information, I get the error “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”

Is there a workaround? Is it having a problem because the bbpress tables already exist? Is there a way to reconnect?

Thanks,

Beth Terry

BBpress isn’t a wordpress plugin, however if installed on the same website as wordpress you can share users. Maybe I can help you setup bbpress properly?

[Anthony]

Whats the URL to your bbpress site? Is your htaccess file writable? Have you tried adding a trailing / to your profile url?

Can we please try to keep the discussion in this topic on bbPress, and not use it to support each others plugins?
