Hi I just tested wordpress plugin Relevansii

It allows you to override the “exclude from search” that the bbpress custom post types may have.

It then searches those posttypes too when a normal wp serach is done.

I just ported my forum to bbPress from PHP-Fusion, and when I try to click the pagination in the top here: http://www.voipbloggen.dk where it says 1 2 … 208 → nothing happens.

It takes me to:

http://www.voipbloggen.dk/page/2

But it should take me to:

http://www.voipbloggen.dk/forum/page/2

Can you help me figure out why? and how to fix it.

One of the things I love about wordpress is that I can dvelope my plugins with al debug options on and wp does not generate any notices etc.

I do not know where to log these – not stricytly a bug, but can sometimes be.

Notice: Undefined variable: retstr in C:webwpbetawpwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-includesbbp-reply-template.php on line 1693

I have a number of local test sites. I have them all accessing the same wp-content folder.

The only one that shows the forum menu options is the main one that has the wp-content folder in it’s normal structure.

The others that have WP_CONTENT.. etc defined in wp-config do not show the forum menu options.

Seems like maybe the wrong constants or functions being used maybe?

Do you have any other bbPress template files in your theme, or are you relying on bbPress Theme Compat to work correctly?

There’s an error in the POT file. Look:

http://cl.ly/8ZKP

This is the 2.0-beta-3b, with the translation file 100% translated (the POT of that version).

Great. Thank you for your quick reply!

Shortcodes go in a page, but you can also use them in themes and plugins using the <?php echo do_shortcode( $content ); ?> function.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

So in your theme you would put this somewhere:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-index]'); ?>

Twentyeleven using a child theme that puts a sidebar on regular pots does not display aby widgets on bbPress pages as did Twentyten.

The child theme I used is that described in “Add Sidebar Support in Posts for the Twenty Eleven Theme” at http://futurewebblog.com/add-sidebar-support-posts-twenty-eleven-theme/

Any advice on getting widgets into the side bar?

Hello,

I have searched both here and on WordPress.org for how to use shortcodes and still can’t seem to get it right.

I have a custom WordPress theme that is based on the stock twenty-eleven theme. I have created a child theme in order to add styling for my BBPress forum.

I’m hoping to mimic a style similar to the forums here on bbpress.org with the forum listings on the side. Am I correct this can be accomplished? If so, where do I include the shortcodes?

Thank you in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How do you think it should work? Should forum results appear in your existing blog search? Should they be separated? Should there be some kind of ‘smart search’ that knows where the request came from, and only shows results based on the type of content you are looking at (blog/forum/other)?

The desired mode of search could depend on the site or the page within the site. In my case, I would want to show both main site and forum content in a search from the main site because I want to expose that content. But within the forum pages I wouldn’t mind adding a checkbox to the search to limit it to forum content only.

How about choosing a sensible default to avoid options, but then giving the search function parameters to allow a theme developer to do the kinds of things I described?

@anointed mentioned grouping search results. I would want to be able to code a search results page with mixed content or grouped by posts, pages, forum posts, and other custom post types. But I realize that may beyond the scope of the decision you need to make for this.

I think our settings page is starting to get out of hand. Should we break the one page up into a few, or leave it as 1 page with all options?

Thanks for trying to stick to the “decisions over options” mantra. Opinionated software is much more pleasurable to use.

The settings page does have more options than any of the WordPress settings pages so it is a bit full. I could certainly see grouping all of the slug-related options to their own page. But it’s not so horrible now that it couldn’t go out the door and then be iterated later.

I’ve been attempting to import an existing standalone bbPress install into the plugin version without success. The existing forum is integrated with WordPress. According to the dashboard, it has 31 forums, 6,693 topics, 42,525 posts, 2,545 tags, and 2,711 users.

I set up a test install on my local computer with MAMP Pro, and brought the database and files over. All bbPress plugins and all plugins in WordPress except bbPress are disabled. I bumped up the memory and time limits for PHP.

It chugged through about half of the forums and their topics then just stopped without any error message. I thought this might be PHP timing out or running out of memory so I bumped max_execution_time and max_input_time to several hours and memory_limit to 2048M and tried again. It stopped at the same place with these settings.

There are no relevant messages in my php, mysql, or apache error logs.

I did a repair and optimize on the database tables then did a re-count of all items in the old bbPress forum and tried again. It was very close to the same result with only stopping a few posts sooner.

I looked in the database and checked the message it stopped on and the next numerical topic id messages and didn’t see any odd characters in the post content or title.

One other thing I noticed is that when I went back to the import screen it recognized that I had a partial import with the message “It looks like you attempted to convert your bbPress standalone previously and got interrupted.” I used the “Continue previous import” button but it started back at the beginning again. I’ve also tried the “Cancel & start a new import” button with not change in the results.

Any ideas where else to look, things to try, or additional information I can supply? Thanks.

To show the graphical smilies you must first allow graphical smilies in WordPress. Do that by going into Settings > Writing and ticking the “Convert emoticons like …”

That will allow standard WP smilies and show the smiley panel on the toolbar. The custom smileys is an option in the toolbar settings page.

I’ll look into where a relevant action hook is for the comments section as well as the id/name of the comment postbox. But I’ll really only be able to test this for the TwentyTen, TwentyEleven and BuddyPress default themes at this time.

Central forums like bbPress.org

[Jean-Pierre Michaud]

would be just good to have the RC on the distro instead of the older Beta3, as people would see what was done really, not just the bugged version… would it be possible to update the distro ?!

btw, my own question would be against the template styles of the forum. when using the 20-11 theme, when we browse thru the forum, the main level has one style, and the sub-pages has different styles… making it unconfortable for the visitor… i would personally add a setting when using a 3.2 theme to have a setting in the forum configuration to choose what structure to use, sidebar or not, page or single display, etc… because i would use the “page with sidebar” configuration for most of my clients … you see the point?

btw, 20-11 for the final version please ?!

oh, btw, great job, the forum is just great… i donated in the last years and will continue to do so for each of my clients that use your product…

[Mike1233]

problem: i cant see smileys. i try copy to wp-content. change settings… all but i cant see the smileys.

have you an idea?

EDIT: …and can you make this bar for the normal wordpress comments? only without images and youtube? i search for a lot of time for a good postbar for comments.

From https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-faq:

“What is happening to bbPress 1.x?

It will continue to be maintained into the foreseeable future but is feature frozen, meaning no new features will get put in.”

[Suzi Wilson]

Thank you both sincerely for your assistance. I now believe I am set up properly and will go about my merry way ignoring advice to access my BB-press admin panel.

beta 3 works great. for future i wish only to show last topics over/under forum-index.

great work.

Final addition, I’m giving up on this for now:

I run a child theme of bp-default.

I have files for archive.php, comments.php, footer.php, functions.php, header.php, index.php, page.php, search.php, single.php and type.php in my theme dir. That’s it.

Everything seems to work aside from the editing of topics. I tried copying single-reply-edit.php and single-topic-edit.php to my theme dir, but that didn’t help either.

With this info, any ideas now? Like I said, I’m giving up. I pretty much tried anything I could think of by now. Sorry to bother you with this

[pimarts]

Just trying all kinds of stuff now. Disabling BuddyPress didn’t help either.

Is there any way I can see what file WordPress is looking for before it re-directs? Or in what file the re-direct takes place? (I know this question is not really bbPress related, but maybe you know the answer anyway).

[pimarts]

That does work too, but when the forum-single.php gets upgraded and you want to stay up date with your theme files you’ll have to re-do the change(s).

[mayank_sabharwal]

Thanks. I figured it out after i posted this question. Thanks anyways for your help

[88dbsakthi]

I just removed the sidebar tag from the forum-single.php file and upload it to my theme directory and it worked well.

[88dbsakthi]

I am using simple facebook connect plugin with my wordpress blog and its sync well with bbpress also.
