FYI: This is also currently happening in the bbPress Plugin 2.0-beta-3b

[seoguy81]

I installed the bbpress plugin into my wordpress installation. I cannot access the bbp-admin folder to install further plugins. Is this possible?

I tried http://www.mydomain.com/forum/bbp-admin as well as http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin

Please help!

I’m scratching my head on this one. I can’t get bbPress to install, and it always complains about connecting to the database.

The mySql server is remote, and I’ve tried adding it in with the hostname as well as the IP. No dice.

I know the default answer is a credentials problem, but if I use SSH and connect to the website that will host bbPress, I can do

mysql -h hostname -uusername -ppassword

and connect fine.

I can also use the above command to connect from my workstation, remotely. I’ve copy-pasted the credentials dozens of times, verified that it has read/write access to the DB, etc.

I’ve even copied bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php and edited it manually, but it still can’t connect to the database.

Any ideas what I might try next? Thanks.

Im using the jobroller theme which comes with it’s own edit profile interface. Is there a way to tweak the bbpress user edit URL so the users are taken to the default edit profile page?

I’m editing the bbp-user-template.php but kind of stuck here.

Appreciate any responses.

P.S: Instead of rewriting the URLS.. I just want to divert people to something.com/myprofile

Let me start by saying I am not an advanced user. However, I would be interested in trouble shooting a theme compatability issues.

The 2010 theme works great for the bbPress plugin.

However, I have a theme which I would like to use which bbPress does not work for.

I have set up a score of forums and only the parent forum shows after resaving the permalinks. The test topics do show, but people would not have the ability to add anything like a new topic or reply.

The theme has many options and I would prefer to use it over a standard WP theme. However, I am not sure why it is not working for the bbPress Plugin.

Will bbPress have something to help convert themes or do you have any idea what is going on?

If it is too much recoding on my part I might just use the 2011 theme when it rolls out. Or think of plan b.

My site as it is now is http://peopleandlanguages.com/

Thanks and sorry in advance if this question is not the type of question you look at, rather you adress more macro issues.

I have the same problem in bbpress 2.0 beta 3b, where the search function can search the blog but not the forum. Is this happening because it’s a beta version?

[schrepel]

1) If a user clicks “log in here” from any forum, and they log in as normal, it redirects (correctly) back to the forum page. However, if they click “lost your password?” and then do a password change and log in, it takes them back to the blog homepage, not forums. Any way to hold the “redirect back to forum” querystring through the password-reset/login process?

2) When I drag bbPress Forum List widget to the main sidebar of the bbPress/twentyten theme, all widgets below that one disappear (not in the admin dashboard, but in the forum page itself). The bbPress Topic list widget works fine, just not the Forum List.

You can find an old translation file here: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

It will cover most of the stuff in the latest 2.0 beta. I know Torbjörn Sjögren is working with an updated version, I’ll post it here when I’ve received it from him.

Is it possible to tag the spammers reply as spam rather than the entire conversation/topic???

[abdessamad idrissi]

you know, some people are not ashamed posting spam on this opensource community making or lovely forums dirty!

Whenever I see one, I tag it “spam”, I hope there’s an automated process that puts spam-taged posts in a freez-mode until reviewed by admin.

A function/system that allows bbpress.org forums users to contribute in fighting spam would be really appreciated.. I’ll be the first one to use it

[brassblogs]

Okay – spam reply above is… not helping. (and really has nothing to do with the price of eggs in China…)

But anyway.

I suppose I should RTFM, no? I just saw the sticky post on this subject, and I fall under the category of “ur doin it rong.”

In case anyone else needs to know, when you create a child theme, it goes in your themes directory, not as a subfolder in the WordPress parent theme. Duh.

More coffee in the morning would be a good habit for me to take up.

[abdessamad idrissi]

Thanx Andre; Genious idea!

[Andre]

Another option is to create a page, title it whatever you like but I titled my example “Forum”. Put “[bbp-forum-index]” including the brackets as the content of the page and publish it.

Then go to Settings -> Reading in the Admin panel. Change the “Front Page Displays” option to page and select “Forum” or whatever you named the page.

[brassblogs]

Hey all –

I’m hoping I’m just missing something here, but I’m trying to create a new template (to match a WordPress theme I’m working on). I’ve created a folder within the bbp-themes folder, and added a stylesheet and one file (I’m just testing it right now to get a feel for how the theming system works): page-front-forums.php.

The thing is, when I do this, ALL of my themes in the WordPress back end (under appearance > themes), save the twenty Ten (default WP theme and the bbPress version) go away. ALL of them. Now, the current theme is still working on the front end of the site, but on the back end, there’s no themes at all – they are all gone.

So can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Am I putting the bbPress theme files in the wrong place? Or is this some kind of bug?

[bradsucks]

Still having the same topic tag issues (nothing found) — no URL collisions or anything. Just mentioning it since I don’t see it in the bug tracker.

I created this template:

<?php



/**

* Template Name: bbPress - Topics Created

*

* @package bbPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/



// Begin Template

get_header(); ?>



<div id="container">

<div id="content" role="main">



<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' ); ?>



</div><!-- #content -->

</div><!-- #container -->



<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

And placed it in the bbp-twntyten/ directory

But all I get is:

This user has not created any topics.

Any suggestions?

(and I’m logged in as admin).

I am using BBPress version 1.0.3 with default theme.

Also I see that there is a dropdown at the left sidebar on this forum to change to status to resolved. How can I add this same functionality to my BBPress forum?

[bimaljr2]

Hello,

I have just started to study BBPress structure. I am familiar with WordPress.

I like to know how can we apply “resolved” or “not resolved” status to any Topic?

Thanks.

[janoochen]

Another options is to place all the content of page-front-topics.php to front-page.php.

[CrownOfMars]

I’m wanting to change the default page.php being used. I found this earlier on in this thread.

add_filter( ‘bbp_template_include’, ‘foo’ );

function foo( $file ) { return ‘page-forums.php’; }

This is no longer working. It worked perfectly on a previous site but not this current one. I get the following error:

Warning: include(page-forums.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsspawp-includestemplate-loader.php on line 43

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘page-forums.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.;C:Program FilesxamppphpPEAR’) in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsspawp-includestemplate-loader.php on line 43

The page-forums.php file does exist so that’s not the problem. Any ideas?

[master5o1]

I’ve asked for hosting and it’s approved. I removed the zip because i need to figure out which one of my copies is the best to put into the browser.

Currently I’ve just been editing the live plugin on my Tartarus test site, and then copying to test-and-edit on a more default WP+bbP on my dumping ground.

Tartarus = http://beta.tartarus.co.nz

dumping ground = http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/

[John James Jacoby]

You should get this into WordPress Extend. If it works as advertised, it could be quite popular.

[abdessamad idrissi]

thanx man I searched before but with wrong keywords

[spunkygidget]

Did you ever figure out how to move from Community Server to BBPress? I’d like to do the same.
