Hi All,

I have a fresh multisite WordPress 3.1.4 with bbPress plugin 2.0-beta-3b. I can run bbPress both in network-activate mode or per site-activate. As network-admin I can create forums, post and reply to posts. But if I configure that new WordPress users can register themselves, they are not allowed to create forum topics or reply.

What extra configurations do I have to do to configure that all new registered WordPress users can create topics and reply to them?

Thanks

Kai

I have similar issues with bbpress and multisite wordpress. When a new user registers himself, this user is not allowed to create a new topic.

I am using ppbress Version 2.0-beta-3b. Do I have to make extra manual configurations?

Thanx

Kai

I have been having the same problem, tags don’t do anything. Using either the beta version of WordPress or stable version, and current plugin verion of bbPress, everything straight out of the box.

Hi, Ive just installed the bbpress plug in into my WordPress installation and I get an error.

I’m guessing its a template issue but wondered if anyone could suggest a fix.

If I add the short code for the forum index it works fine, but if you click a link to the forum itself I get the following:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in PATHTOTHEFOLDER/wp-content/themes/rttheme7/functions.php on line 290

Can anyone recommend anything to fix this?

Regards

David

My forum is accessed by the FORUM menu button. This is just a page that uses the bbpress index template. It works fine.

Please notice that now, in the breadcrumbs, there is an entry that says FORUMS as well. FORUM is now a child of FORUMS – but only in the breadcrumbs.

I’d like to get rid of the one that says FORUMS to keep it from messing up my SEO junk. How to do this?

……………………………………………..

The 2.0-beta-3b upgrade trashed the Collapsible Categories widget, which is an acceptable casualty. Other than that, I’m going to hold off upgrading WP to 3.1.4 for a couple of days, to see what shakes out here first.

Thanks,

Ed

Anyone know why?

[johan.ruda]

@JJJ – yes, i have. no change.

[Don Alex]

i cant get it worked

define( ‘BAVATARS_BBPRESS_URI’, ‘http://mypage.com/bbpress/&#8217; ); // The full address of the front page of your forum.

define( ‘BAVATARS_BBPRESS_PATH’, ‘xxxxx’ ); // The full path to your bbPress installation.

how can i find out what my PATH is?

@Carsten.M – You need to use the numeric ID of the forum. I realize this isn’t the easiest for everyone, but it’s the easiest and fastest way to develop it for now. In the future we’ll open this up to other things and build a UI for it all.

@Nate – I updated the instructions at the top with more details. Give them another go. All you need to do is copy the contents of bbp-twentyten into your theme, and merge the style.css and functions.php files together so they fit what you need – this I can’t help with because it involves code only you probably know.

[Nate]

@John

Thanks for responding. I thought I followed every step. Let me clarify since I messed up my earlier clarification.

I initially copied the default theme put it in the same plugin directory and renamed it to bbp-empt. I included the function code in my main theme “Cost” directory function.php file. After some fooling around I realized nothing was working so I came here and followed every step in this thread instead of half-assin it like it did before.

I would prefer not to use a child theme since I’m the Author of the “Cost” named theme I’m using. I guess I don’t quite understand how I get bbpress to use bbp-empt when it’s sitting in my Cost directory. Is there a instruction manual that describes that process?

Or is it a simple function name change or is there a place in the WP admin area I missed which allows you to chose the which template bbpress uses?

Great. Now if only we would have bbPress 2…

I’ve grown to really like the theme used in these forums. Is it one of the defaults that comes with v2.0?

Nope, afraid not. This theme was custom made for the bbpress.org website, and furthermore it’s made for bbPress 1.0, not the bbPress 2.0 plugin, which I believe handles theming somewhat differently.

Maybe whoever made the theme will be willing to look into it seeing as the new bbPress is going stable any day now.

@Tom – I’ll take a look at that tonight.

@johan – Have you tried doing a recount of the freshness times in your forums?

(Admin > Tools > Recounts)

[John James Jacoby]

@nate – Seems you’re only following some of the steps outlined above. To start you’ll want to research WordPress child themes and how to make one. If you decide to go that route, then your new theme doesn’t go inside the old one, it goes in the /themes/bbp-empt/ folder that you create. It kinda sounds like you figured that out, but it’s hard to tell from your comment if it’s working for you.

Hello. I’ve integrated bbpress and bbpress post toolbar to a page on this website:

http://underwaterpeoples.com/wordpress/?forum=hi

(i know its boring..)

The post toolbar seems to be on the top of every page. Does anyone know how i can get rid of the top toolbar and keep the ones by the comment forms? I’m guessing i have to reconfigure the bbpress-post-toolbar.php file but I’m not sure how.

Please help. Thanks :0)

I’m having a bit of trouble with the freshness of topics on my forums.

Take a look here:

http://sota-guild.tk/forums

You’ll see that some forums has a freshness of around 160 days even tho ppl have been making new topics and responding much later than that.

Known bug or something wrong with my settings?

[Nate]

I’m having an issue and not understanding how to fix it is driving me bonkers. I’ve followed the steps above but let me explain how I did it.

Once the plugin was installed I copied the bbp-twentyten folder from the plugin directory;

C:xampphtdocsempt-wpwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten

and put it into my main themes directory and renamed it to bbp-empt.

C:xampphtdocsempt-wpwp-contentthemescostbbp-empt

I opened the bbp-empt style.css and changed the Template name to;

Template: cost

and added an import for the css.

I have every file in the “bbp-empt” folder than was in the original “bbp-twentyten” folder plus files like archive.php, page.php and single.php from my “cost” folder.

I’m confused as to how I get the forums to use the template files in “bbp-empt” and not the files in the “cost” main directory. Which is what is happening right now.

Small update

After some experimenting I changed the bbp-empt folder style.css in the plugins folder to say cost in the template name and changed other details. Noticed the change in the Appearance menu so I clicked to activate the template and now I’m using a child theme of my main theme with the bbpress using the bbp-empt files.

So now I’m honestly just confused, if this works whats the point of moving it to your main themes directory?

[Nate]

I’m new to this plugin and to bbpress in general though I do work with WordPress on a regular basis. The forums load fine. I would like to copy the default theme and customize my own based on the original.

The problem is, I don’t see a place where I can choose a template for BBPress to use. Is there a place in the WP admin panel I’m overlooking or do I need a custom function to load a specific theme?

Any help would be appreciated.

[nathanreed]

How can I implement the “mini-description” (as here “Getting it up and running”) on my bbpress 2.0 forum list widget?

[Andre]

@malawimama – The importer is located at /wp-admin/import.php or Tools -> Import from the admin panel.
