I have a very small phpbb rpg site that I would LOVE to port to bbpress – is anyone running a bbpress rpg site? are there any dice rollers, that kind of thing for bbpress?

Sounds like you are using the standalone version. Its a bbPress theme so it will be visible in bbPress dashboard and not in WordPress dashboard.

If you still have issues, change the permission of my-templates folder to 755. Incase you don’t know how to change permissions, read this – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/

Hi,

We updated our WordPress today to 3.2.1, and made a few other tweaks, and now we are having some login issues.

Issue: User logs in, gets main Forum screen. Clicks on about any link or post, and then says:

“This topic requires access to private forum.”

“Please Login to Access It.”

If they then log in again, it lets them view the post. But then click on any link, gives same login screen again.

I have cleared all cookies, done a complete logoff, reset password, etc.

We have the basic(not full) level of integration with bbPress and WordPress.

Also may be a clue: When I change my password, the same password then works on both sites.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve just installed the bbPress Plugin to my site.

I want to be able to lock users from editing their own profile.

I found this former thread.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lock-profile-editing-from-non-administrators

Could someone give me advice if the mini-plugin mentioned in this thread would work with the bbPress Plugin?

If so, how would I install it?

Thanks so much,

Sasha

I’ve done some more experimenting and it appears that page.php is the template file determining the appearance of the forum page. Is there a way to change this?

[emersonthis]

Correction. It doesn’t appear to be using the page.php template file however it is definitely piggybacking off the current wordpress theme somehow, because specific dynamic sidebars appear which are only called within my theme. It’s very confusing.

Although this question is highly related to the issue you’re having, I started a specific thread here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/which-wordpress-template-file-gets-used-by-bbpress-plugin

[emersonthis]

I’m experimenting with the BBPress plugin on a pre-existing WordPress site and I cannot figure out which template file is used to display the forum.

I’ve tried creating a new page and using shortcode to make the forum appear on that page, then assigning different templates. This seems to have no effect.

Does anyone know how the BBPress plugin decides which template file to use when displaying the forum?

[emersonthis]

I’m also running BBPress as a plugin to a pre-existing WordPress installation. After a lot of trial and error, I deduced that the forum appears on a WP page using the page.php template of the host wordpress theme.

I’ve tried manually assigning a different template file by using the BBPress shortcode on a specific page (created in wordpress) and then choosing a different template, but that option appears to get ignored, which is somewhat frustrating. I’m going to start a new thread for this issue, unless someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Hi there,

I want to install the Biziness template from http://www.spyka.net/phpbb3-styles.

I created a directory called “my-templates” inside my bbPress root directory.

I uploaded the entire businesslike/ folder to the my-templates folder.

Still the Biziness template is not visible in WordPress.

Cannot activate it.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

Jo

I use bbpress as a part of buddyperss.

I have a general problem in buddypress that slugs of groups and forum topics that are non unicode are throwing the user back to home page.

The bbpress forum topic in the buddypress installation make the slug out of the sanitized subject/title,and because of my general slug problem I cannot create a topic with a non Unicode title.

I tried to solve it in many ways and didn’t get anywhere.

My question is – what I need to change in the bbpress files that will save topic in the DB with the forum topic id as the slug and not the title,or can I use some sort of a filter or hook to do that?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Done! – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1582

[John James Jacoby]

Explain? All of my installs have wp-content located outside of the WordPress install directory, so I don’t believe this to be entirely accurate.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Done! – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1581

[John James Jacoby]

@anmari – At the risk of sounding defensive (which I’m not trying to be) please assume we develop everything with WP_DEBUG on, and anything that pops up is an oversight, not a lack of knowledge or ability. You can create trac tickets at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org to outline the steps to trigger the notices. Thanks!

@ashfame – Ticket please. Thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

Agreed. Add a ticket on trac?

I have tried the plugin for a while now. I have ported a big PHP-Fusion installation to bbPress.

I have two comments so far:

1. There’s something “funny” about the reply post type. I have written this issue regarding it: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/replies-sometimes-link-to-weird-content

2. The RSS feeds are also clunky as far as I can tell. Here’s my experience: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-feed-in-bbpress-plugin-doesnt-work

I also had an issue with the search, but since I just wanted a sitewide search, i just implemented Google CSE, and it’s working great for me.

I’m all for adding more settings, anytime rather that than having to punch a bunch of stuff into the functions.php

But to sum up, it’s already a lot better than what I have used for the past couple of years with PHP-Fusion.

[Thomas Clausen]

I have different usecases that provoke an annoying error with the reply post type. I think the easiest way to show it, is with an example.

I can generate two different outputs of the post type:

The right one

http://voipsnak.dk/ip-telefoni/emne/velkommen-til-det-nye-forum/#post-30706

The wrong one

http://voipsnak.dk/ip-telefoni/svar/reply-to-velkommen-til-det-nye-forum-4

The right one can be found by clicking:

– the “anchor” URL above each reply

– view from the all replies link in the backend

The wrong one can be found by clicking:

– view from the reply editing screen in the backend

– by using two sitemap generators by the well renowned Yoast: WordPress SEO and Arne Brachhold: Google XML Sitemaps.

– in the feed if I use this guide: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-custom-post-types-to-your-main-wordpress-rss-feed (which might be an error in the guide I know, I just wanted to include this also)

So have I done something wrong? I’m using RC3 of the bbPress plugin.

[Thomas Clausen]

I’ve just ported a big php fusion installation to bbPress. But I had some problems regarding the feeds.

In the forums I have figured out, that the feed URL should be these:

// feed of forums

http://voipsnak.dk/?feed=rss2&post_type=forum

// feed of topics

http://voipsnak.dk/?feed=rss2&post_type=topic

// feed of replies

http://voipsnak.dk/?feed=rss2&post_type=reply

// combined feed

http://voipsnak.dk/?feed=rss2&post_type=topic&post_type=reply

1. The different feeds doesn’t show up in the browser address window

2. The reply feed show the oldest topics, and not the newest replies

3. The combined feed shows the same as the reply feed, which is also wrong

I have tried with different values added to the combined feed. Like &orderby=date&order=DESC but it didn’t work.

I hope one of you can guide me with the three issues above.

I am trying to do this but still there is no success. If anyone have any idea, please share.

OK, all is well. Otto has a new version of the plugin not yet released. It’s available as a branch on svn. Whatever conflict existed has been resolved in the branch, so it’ll be good when that’s released

[raconnor]

So, now that bbpress is a plugin integrated into a wordpress site, how is this going to work out with things like WP Cache or WP Super Cache?

Unless there are very very few members or there is a way to turn caching off for just the forum section of a site, this could be a troublesome partnership to have WP and BBP together.

Anyone know a way to have BBP 2.0 integrated into a wordpress without caching just the forum section?

[Erlend]

[Multisite:] Users can access all forums, or users can only access forums for which they have a role on that specific site?

I think they should have access to all forums. Once you have a multisite setup, isn’t it commonly because a bunch of sites are going to have some unifying factor in common?

On my own site, all forum activity would most likely be confined to a single bbPress install tied to the main BuddyPress site, so I don’t think this decision concerns me anyhow. I would like to know though, would either way be fairly easy to opt into by means of existing settings or a plugin if whatever ends up as the default is not ideal for a particular setup?

Search is a pretty big topic. Isn’t this something that ought to be discussed in context of the entire WordPress ecosystem?, i.e. including at least Multisite and BuddyPress. I really think there ought to be just the one default type of WordPress search, which both bbPress and BuddyPress would plug into. My project will rely on bbPress in BuddyPress, so in my case I’m looking for a BuddyPress search that will properly incorporate bbPress search results.

As for the settings panel, I would agree that the secondary layer of navigational tabs that many premium themes (-frameworks) come with is very manageable.

[williamhussey]

So after “All topics” I would like to have more tabs. How do I do this?

Sorry, a long time WordPress user but a complete noob to bbPress..
