There is also a patch here (see the attachements section of the ticket page below) –

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1181

But I haven’t tried the patch myself.

To fix this you will need to remove the raquo characters from your core rss.php file. Then your RSS feeds will work again.

It looks like this bug was introduced in changeset 2323

this feed is not standard in bbpress, but maybe it’s quite easy to add this function (will check this tomorrow)

[Don Spark]

thanks guys, that worked

jQuery is already bundled with bbPress (and WordPress), so you can just use

<?php bb_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>

in your theme’s functions.php and it’ll automatically be included in your header.

Same applies for WordPress, but using wp_enqueue_script instead…

But to answer your original question use <?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?> to output the template directory or <?php get_bb_active_theme_uri(); ?> to return it as a variable.

Thanks, but that did not work. I allready had bbpress-integration installed.

What did you mean by “get the info”?

I copied your code into the config-files. Nothing changed.

Any other ideas?

It says that its not supported in my country. What a host? Can you provide an alternate method? I would like to read it.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

try 755 not 777. you should always use a more tight permission

[gerikg]

or https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-posts/

[gerikg]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-573

I think you can just change UNREAD to NEW.

Hi folks,

I would like to know how I could get bbpress to show a little status update in my titles. So people can see which posts have just been opened.

This is what I’d like to accomplish: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions!

[gerikg]

change the folder permission to 777, happened to me

Hi all,

Just started my first bbpress forum at

http://ohlonecenter.org/forum

I created a directory inside that directory called

my-templates

and uploaded three themes from

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

guangzhou-bbpress

onvertigo

the-hybrid

The css does not kick in when I make the switch in the dashboard to another theme. I just see all my forum content stripped of css.

In the dashboard theme selector, I do not see the pic for the themes I uploaded, just the text and a space for the pic.

thanks,

Don

Hello!

I am working on a bbPress theme which can be seen at http://bbpress.ashfame.com/

I have a problem that when I click the “Add new” link on the front page, the page is broken in markup (also returns invalid markup – http://bbpress.ashfame.com/?new=1 )

Which template file does it use to generate?

And the login code doesn’t spit out the code in the sidebar when on register page ( http://bbpress.ashfame.com/register.php ) or on lost password page ( http://bbpress.ashfame.com/bb-login.php )

[gerikg]

Install this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/ get the info

example

define( 'COOKIEHASH', '1111' );

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.website.com' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

put it in your wp-config.php after <?

then put it in your bb-config.php without the cookiehash line.

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.website.com' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

Ok, so in my ignorance, I changed something, thinking I’ll be able to fix it if something went wrong.

Well something did go wrong.

Yes, that’s right, I can’t fix it

I wanted to change the URL from /bbpress to /forum.

So I did, in my cPanel File Manager by manually renaming the dir. Anyway, I don’t think that worked. So I changed it back, so that I would be able to do it via the General Settings section.

So I changed it there, and now nothing works. Can’t open admin panel, can’t look at old topics…everything just pretty much 404’s.

I’m guessing I’m going to have to manually edit or php file? I was going to try that thing in the tools section to do something with the db, but as I can’t get there…

So yeah, help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

P.S It’s nice forum software.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I think you have installed bbPress again by using wp_ as a prefix

take a backup and try this :

change to bb_

and then open bb_usermeta table and see if the bb_capabilities of your user (check with user id) is a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} via phpmyadmin

if you have got the admin access back now, then you can delete tables starting with wp_

Hope that helps

Hello bbPress Community,

There is a Problem with the login integration between my WordPress 2.8.4 an bbPress 1.0.1 installs:

Users registring on WordPress exist as users on bbpress.

Users logging in bbPress are logged in in WordPress as well,

BUT Users logging into WordPress don’t logg in to bbPress?

Everything else works fine, as far as i can tell.

I noticed that the last number from the wordpress_logged_in_ cookie is different from all the other cookies:

wp wordpress_logged_in_b9e4100f9ddb8ade6a4b50cd6a25bf22 Jan%7C1251890826%7Caea7ac79b7c18706a58b93d3d209bad8

Could this be the Problem? If so, where can i change this?

Both Logged_in_salt in the backend panels and (BB_)LOGGED_in_KEY in the config-files of bbp and wp are the same.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks, Jan

I used this plugin for that: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

Works great!

Hi,

I ve just installed a bbpress forum and successfully moved the posts from an old forum that we had.

However, I would like to change a bit the appearance of the forum.

I’d like to reduce the number of the posts in the latest discussions around to 10 posts and i would also like

move the latest discussions in the bottom, under the Forum part.

Could you give me any tips how I could make that.

Thank you in advance,

Dinos

Hi Everyone,

I’m an idiot, and I just managed to screw up installing bbPress so badly that when I tried to visit my site (http://www.incorruptcorpses.com), I was instructed to install WordPress (which I did). Now, instead of having my semi-completed design (which is backed up) and the many, many posts which are a part of my thesis research (which are lamentably not backed up), I have that stupid little white-and-blue “Welcome to your new WordPress!” page. So it seems I’ve managed to delete my old WordPress account or magically disassociate it from my URL. I think. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Here’s a play-by-play:

I’m using Webhostingpad as my host. When installing bbPress, I first tried the database name and password I use for actually logging on to my file manager/cPanel, then I used the database name and password listed under MySQL in my file manager/cPanel. Both worked. I would bet the problem lies here. But I really would just love for someone to tell me that I can retrieve my posts.

Then, since I didn’t have any of the cookies stuff set up, I did that in my wp-config.php file. Then I copied and pasted into the bbPress installer.

Then it didn’t work.

Then I tried to look at my site for some reason, and couldn’t log in.

I deleted all the changes I made in wp-config.php, to no avail.

Is there anything I can do???

Thanks!

Maria

@eclipsenow – There are a few one-click WordPress plugins that offer basic forum capabilities, I believe – here’s one of them:

http://simplepressforum.com/

They aren’t usually pluggable… but you can get very simple forum capabilities with theme and cookie integration with these plugins.

[eclipsenow]

It is SO sad that bbpress isn’t a one-click install plugin for WordPress. I want a forum that clicks into my main CMS quickly, that automatically reports latest posts to the *website homepage*, that automatically integrates user permissions etc, and that works with similar User Control Panel and information for all areas of the CMS.

I want a blog that can automatically send posts/articles to the forum (the way bbsyn USED TO before support for it was dropped) where the comments can enjoy the full power of a forum.

And I want it all in a few clicks.

Only Joomla seems to do that with it’s 2 highly supported “fully loaded” forums. (Forums that have all the options already in them, and that don’t need basic things like email-notification added on.)

[maxbmx]

it works fine for me
