Hi,
I installed bbPress for my site which uses hueman theme.
But when I create the forums page including bbPress shortcode, the layout of the forums page is quite messy. But for another theme thentyfifteen, bbPress works fine.

What can I do to solve this problem with hueman theme?

This is the forums page: https://trainsova.pitt.edu/forums

[aluser]

where am I wrong?
How do I select the type of page?

forum
sub-forum list
Mice list of sub-forum
and topic-post

<!– IF HAVE A PASSWORD–>
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘protected’ );?>

<!– IF NOT HAVE APASSOWORD –>
<?php else: ?>

<!– => LOOP CATEGORY –>
<?php if ( bbp_is_forum_category() && !bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<p>ITS A MACRO-FORUM (category)</p>
<?php include “common/forums_category.php” ?>

<!– => LOOP FORUMS –>
<?php elseif ( bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<p>ITS A SUB-FORUM</p>
<?php include “common/forums_topiclist.php” ?>

<!– => LOOP TOPIC OF FORUM –>
<?php elseif (!bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<p>ITS A TOPIC LIST</p>
<?php include “common/forums_topic.php” ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

sorry for my unfamiliarity with php and bbPress …
thank you

Template hierarchy in detail

This page is a great initiative to make explained each part.. but for me still has a problem…

I can’t identify those parts in the layout… could someone do a visual scratch for elements over some “twenty” template?

I really, really appreciate 😉

Hi guys and gals,

I’ve searched up and down for this and haven’t been able to find anything.

Is it possible to set up bbPress to show the latest post/reply when you click on a thread?

Currently, if I have say 3 pages, clicking on a discussion will take me to the first page and the first post. I’d like it to take me to the latest reply in the thread when I click on the thread topic.

Possible? Thanks for any help on this!

Hi. I have just converted a PHPBB v3.1.10 to BBPress using the 2.6 alpha version. I am unsure whether the user passwords are converted or not.

In the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/phpbb/ it says “Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.”
However, in the importer it says “Non-bbPress passwords cannot be automatically converted. They will be converted as each user logs in.”

I don’t know if they have been converted or what is meant by “They will be converted as each user logs in.”

Can you tell me what the status of the WP User passwords is and what the users can or need to do?

Cheers

WordPress 4.6.1, bbPress 2.5.10, sorry, no link because the forum is closed

With Auto-Embed enabled, some threads won’t load at all or need as long as 20 min. to load.
I created a test thread and found the problem occurs when there are links to other threads within the forum. Although I only created three messages which all contain nothing but a link to another thread within the forum, the page has to load 250 MB of data and hundreds of www-embed-player.js. Also, more than a thousand recourses are loaded (well, one of the linked threads has lots of embedded YouTube videos).

When Auto-Embed is on bbPress shows the topic of the linked thread instead of the link, which is good. But it seems that everything from that linked thread is already loaded and I’m not even sure that if those linked threads contain links to other threads as well, that those are not loaded, too.
I’m don’t know why it is loaded, because it is (of course) not shown. If Auto-Embed is off, everything is fine.

Is there something we can do about that behavior? What we need, are YouTube and especially SoundCloud files that can be played from within the thread and links to other threads that won’t load the complete content without showing it.

Any ideas?

I can’t recall where I had found this code, fairly certain on the forums here, but here is a pastebin of the code:
http://pastebin.com/J9whPuCV

It shows category forums and then any forums beneath it, up to one level. It isn’t the entire hierarchical display but could be modified somehow, I would imagine, to show more. How I’m not sure.

You will want to place this file in your child theme in the themes/childtheme/bbpress directory; you’ll want to name the file loop-forums.php

Note: I did change the names of my forum’s columns to Topics, Posts, and Recent, for what its worth.

Hi all i’m new to bbpress. I read lot of docs but i was unable to solve this issue

I’m setting up a forum for my website, i installed bbpress, created a forum, created a page with bbpres shortcode and now i’m able to see forum root clicking on the link in menu.

I can create discussions from backend but when i try to create a new topic from frontend, logged in as admin, i got “you don’t have permission to post”.

How could it be?

[kentwest]

Usually:

– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership

But as mentioned, I’ve also tried it with all but bbPress deactivated. No difference.

– Check email
– Childify Me
– Huemon Addons

have also been installed, but they’ve been deactivated for a while. I’ll try uninstalling those.

Okay, those three have now been uninstalled. Now I only have the following three plugins installed:

– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership

and of those three, only bbPress is Activated.

No difference.

If it’s taking 15 seconds to do add a reply or a topic you most definately have a plugin or theme manipulating post queries, most likely pre_get_posts filter is running in a plugin, maybe a theme.

Please disable ALL our plugins and test the speed again please.

If the speed remains the same, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme.

You’ll also notice here on bbpress.org it does not take 15 seconds

When I first installed bbPress, I found an item in the WordPress Dashboard that said “Forums”; I clicked on that, and then on “New Forum”.

I typed in a title, and a brief blurb in the content box, and then clicked on “Publish”.

I then, in the WP Dashboard, clicked on Appearance/Menus, expanded the “Forums” category, found my newly-created forum, and added it to my menus.

Then when I load my site in a web-browser, and go to that menu item, I got a forum page where I could add entries, which result in what I posted above.

Hi, I’m pretty new to everything and I’ve been pretty much enjoying the first couple of days.
One thing that I’m trying to accomplish with bbpress is in the threaded replies section and its’ layout.

this is how a new topic currently looks – it keeps the author avatar separate from the content(this is mainly in order to maintain a decent readability-level on mobile devices)

The reply section also behaves the same until I enable threaded replies but
when threaded replies is enabled, it loses that layout(probably because of how my bbpress css is currently setup)

I would like some help to achieve the same ‘author-content-separated’ layout in the threaded replies.

I hope I have given enough detail for everyone to understand my situation 🙂
I’m currently using all the latest versions of everything.
My theme is twenty-fourteen and I am working with a child theme

something is broken !

can you tell me how your page is set up?

see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

and which of item 3?

[heideli]

I habe disabled all plugins but bbpress and bbp private groups, and it still doesn’t work. I cannot create new topics.

I am no developer, so am totally at a loss.

[heideli]

Hello,

I’m using WP 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.10 with bbp private groups 3.2.6.

When starting a new forum I cannot create new topics. I have no idea what’s wrong because I never had problems before and I didn’t change anything. Any idea would be appreciated, thank you!

[kentwest]

Caveat: I’m new to WordPress, themes, CSS, and bbPress.

I’ve got a website that seems to be working properly (using the hueman theme (well, actually, hueman-child)), and have installed bbPress, and created a forum page, but the form is cluttered. It looks like:
instead of like how the documentation shows it to look:

I’ve deactivated all my plugins except bbPress, and have tried all 6 or 7 of my installed WordPress themes, but nothing seems to help? Suggestions? Thanks!

bbpress has no special entries, so yes this should work fine – as long as it copies the database – everything should be fine

[hughman]

G’day;

I have spent a lot of time reading and trying to understand the various confusing and sometimes contradictory comments made about whether or not bbPress is a responsive design or not.

As best I can figure out from that material, bbPress is not a responsive design. Rather it relies upon website themes being responsive. However, even if a theme is responsive, that does not mean that a bbPress forum will be responsive.

People have posted information about lots of problems they have had trying to use a responsive design forum with bbPress. Some people have also posted various technical workarounds to at least some of those problems (which I can’t understand).

So, the bottom line for an ordinary person like me, is that there is no point in using bbPress as a responsive design forum.

Have I understood the situation correctly?

Cheers,
Hugh

I will be moving my website to a new host, it will keep the same URL, but not the same password/username/hostname for mysql/the database.

I’m using akeeba to move my wordpress site where I’m using bbpress as a plugin, complete with wordpress’ databases.

Does anyone know if bbpress will be fully moved and operational using this method? Akeeba should (I think?) move bbPress’ databases, but is there a place where I’ll have to change username/password/hostname for mysql in bbpress?

(Alternatively, is there a simple way to backup all the content on the forum and import them on the new webhost after doing a clean install of bbpress in case akeeba doesn’t take care of things?)

Hi All. Needed this exact behavior as well. It really should be the default behavior. But if you don’t want to hack the core here is the code to place in your functions.php or custom plugin:

Just for reference, the site linked to in this discussion seems to have figured out how to get the reply form to appear directly under the intended reply.

[Milan Petrovic]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to use bbPress conditionals when bbPress is used for group forums? None of the bbp_is_ functions is working outside of the bbPress templates, and the point of the conditional functions is to have them work outside of the bbPress own template so that some other piece of code knows what is the page context. I am trying to use these functions inside the page BODY.

So, how to determine which forum is loaded as group forum, which topic is currently displayed, and anything else related to subpages for edit of topics and replies?

Milan

[r-a-y]

The reply form showing directly beneath the reply should be fixed as of:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2971

Edit – Haven’t tested with TinyMCE though.
