im wondering how to recover the admin password, i lost it and im stuck,

thanks guys, sorry for the off topic post, seems like you guys know how to get around bbpress

Hi Gautam – thanks for your response.

Below is what is at the top of my custom theme’s style.css – I did compare it to the default (kakumei) theme to be sure something hadn’t changed there with the new version of bbPress, but this should be working. It was working fine before the upgrade, but after the upgrade bbPress no longer ‘sees’ the two themes in the my-templates folder (the other is a testing theme I occasionally use to test new things). It does find the my-plugins folder just fine, just not the my-templates.

/*

What version of bbPress are you using ?

What version of WordPress are you using?

Are you using “deep integration”?

That said, I’d hardcode them if I were you. Given that you know you’re going to be on your forum page, and therefore dont need to having anything dynamic or highlighted, you can just hardcode it to work.

Not an ideal solution, but its one that you can control completely

Good Luck

I’m sure someone with more CSS knowledge than me will be able to fix it using this additional information. Thanks for posting it.

Ok, so I noticed a small bug when posting this (because I went to edit and the edit link is tiny).

Line 99 of the stylesheet has “font-size:0.8em” (which seems accurate) but according to Firebug it thinks that the 960 reset is loaded afterwards as its loaded via 3 different @import commands (fyi – madness) because of how the browser handles loading of child stylesheets (it’s not concurrent). The 960 reset states that “font-size:100%” for everything.

So firebug, and chrome tools will all show that they’re applying “font-size:100%” which in essence they are, they’re just applying 100% of the 0.8em.

EDIT: ok, so a bit more investigation turns out that “em”s were decided to be used for some of the links and things on the left under the avatar, while “%”s were used elsewhere, and “px”s were specified for other text – so its really a bit of a mish mash that has high potential to look different on every system (especially as the css reset is loaded 3rd or 4th by the browser); compunded by a choice to use different looking fonts per system.

On line 103 of style.css we specify the font for the actual forum post text:

#bborg-discussion #thread div.post {

font-size:12px;

}

Now according to Firebug and chrome dev tools the font-size:12px is scored out (as if it’s being overwritten) because the reset is loaded after. But if you click on it in firebug to actually disable it, hey presto, the font actually grows to the default size.

Oh and more of an FYI as to why it’s hard to debug, after we apply our reset and our styles, we then have this added by the 960’s text stylesheet that will mess with the base units:

body{font:13px/1.5 Helvetica,Arial,’Liberation Sans’,FreeSans,sans-serif}

We basically play about with the font-sizes all over the shop in the stylesheets, and the fonts used too (i can see about 10 fonts listed).

[kevinjohngallagher]

Thanks for that Chris, v helpful.

Your text seems a tad bigger than mine but I think i might have found some of the issues.

1) The stylesheet specifies “Lucida Grande,Tahoma,’Bitstream Vera Sans’,Arial,sans-serif” and I’m not sure it was tested on all of those fonts.

There’s quite a large difference between the way Lucia Grande and Tahoma look on windows (and people with Safari on Windows can now have Lucia Grande; but its not there by default), and at 12px and above Tahoma and Arial start to look differently too…

2) In comparing what I can see on the forums and your screenshot, I’m getting 2extra words per line.

Either way, it’s a drop in text size of a considerable amount. And a drop in the amount of space that the text is given in comparison to the old theme (not that an increased avatar doesn’t help the conversation but…)

3) On the forum listing, since last week, some of the text has been of a bigger size than others. Specifically:

#bborg-discussions table td div {

font-size:14px;

}

Edit: I have no extrnal css stuff going on, which i put down to laziness

Here’s a screenshot of this page in Firefox 3.0.19 on Ubuntu. Looks the same to me with Chrome on Ubuntu and Chrome on XP as well. Not sure what’s causing the problem for you. I can’t replicate it.

Screenshot is 1.7MB

Were you using an external CSS mods with the old theme that might be affecting the new theme?

[cloudadmin]

Hi All,

I am in the process of getting at WP theme applied to bbpress and so far have had some luck..The headers and Footers are visible to the most part.

However the menu items are not coming across from the WP menu system.

Site: http://www.cloudosity.com

bbpress: http://www.cloudosity.com/forum

I get the two hard coded menu items but it looks like none of the WP variables can be called from the bbpress page. I am using get_header(); to pull in the header but the WP header code such as <?php echo $page_menu; ?> does not appear to work.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible to resolve?

Thanks,

David

Please paste the first 8-10 lines of your theme’s style.css here.

[batrachoid]

Love the new look and the fact that _ck_ is around but damn my avatar is ugly that close up.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Is there any update on the insanely small text?

It appears (according to firebug) that the font size is set to 12px, but then it’s been made smaller by some later style. For me it’s currently looking like a 8 or 9px font size (which is incredibly difficult to read since we dropped the amount of space the text is in by almost 40% to 540px).

The margins and spacings look a bit weird/forced as well, almost like it’s using the old version of the 960 grid.

Also, as soon as the discussion includes more than 2 posts, 20-30% of the screen becomes useless whitespace.

Anyway, I’m testing this on Firefox3.6, latest Chrome and Opera 10 on Windows 7 and vista – and my iPhone.

Thanks,

Kev

P.S. The blog section’s a total disaster area also, good thing it’s not been updated in over 4 months now – otherwise people might look there for info!!! haha, don’t worry, thats not likely.

[TrishaM]

I’ve just upgraded to newest version 1.0.2 and now can no longer access my “my-templates” folder with my custom theme files. In addition, it thinks that there are three versions of the default kakumei theme even though there is only one instance of that theme folder in the bb-templates folder.

It won’t even recognize my custom theme if I put it into the bb-templates folder – although the theme has worked perfectly before the upgrade, I have no way to choose it now.

I’ve searched for hours and cannot find any fix for this (and yes I did make sure that my permissions are set correctly to 755). I followed the upgrade instructions to the letter.

Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution?

[JCrosby]

OK thanks. I have unmodified the config file. The phpbb folder is directly above it.

So if I go 2 directories deep for setup, can I specify the URL of bbpress once it is installed?

[Ben L.]

bbPress looks in its folder and the folder directly above it for a config file. If you move bbPress out of the phpBB folder or move bbPress into something like [phpBB folder]/bbpress/test/[bbPress folder], it should work. Don’t modify the phpBB config file.

[JCrosby]

I am currently running PHPbb in the root directory, but want to install bbpress as I have used WP for years and love it.

I want to be able to import current posts and users from phpbb, so to keep it ‘easy,’ I installed a new directory and new db for bbpress. I go to that URL, and get the installation start page. On the second page, I get this error:

Oh dear!

An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.

The config file is NOT in this directory, it is in the root (for phpbb). I tried editing in the info directly into the config file, but then the db can’t connect. I went through these steps, but no luck. How can I tell phpbb what db to use?

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

Not going to happen for WordPress 3.0. I wouldn’t plan on it any time soon.

[chrishajer]

They’re included in the 1.0 branch. I suppose it depends on the template you use to display the avatar.

[Marius-]

I want BBPress to be a standalone program. But I want it to be possible to include it as a page in WordPress.

[Marius-]

Is Avatars integrated as basic functionality?

[Anonymous User]

I would love to see bbPress as a WordPress plugin.

[vpsBible]

well, I guess the title is sufficient!

any news gratefully etc, thank you.

This is one of the most important thing of GPL (the famous “free as in freedom” and not “free as in free beer”.) http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

[Gautam Gupta]

Please download the plugin again and upload it properly in the plugins directory. As you can see on the trac, there is an includes folder in the plugin – https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/after-the-deadline/tags/1.6

[Ryan Hellyer]

You are totally incorrect.

There is nothing in the GPL license which prohibits you from selling GPL licensed themes.

WordPress.org even has a page dedicated to promoting the sale of various GPL themes … https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/
