Does this go into the theme style.css the bbpress.ccs style? And do I just copy and paste said code?

[Robkk]

@aaronos

I just checked your site , and I see you basically just copied and pasted the example template and created a bbpress.php from it.

I told you it is not that easy, that’s why your pages look a little off.

If you still need help with this then reply back.

With another theme BBpress works well. I’m trying to find the error with the current theme, could be some js error?

[Robkk]

@david13_13

Try posting a reply to that topic in another theme and see if it works.

If it does there is an issue with your CUrrent Theme.

If it still does not work , deactivate all your plugins except bbPress and see if you can post a reply again.

[Robkk]

This is planned for a future release , I think the next big release??

You can track the progress here

Thanks a lot Robkk

With bbpress-wp4-fix now I can see topics created but still the button for submit replies doesn’t work…

The other plugin seems like has no effect.

@david13_13

Try these plugins one at a time and see if it fixes the issue.

I found something awhile ago , sorry I forgot about this topic.

i cannont seem to find the code i used though.

But you can just use this plugin instead , it should do the same thing.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-popular-topics/

The shortcode is something like this for that plugin.

[bbpresspopulartopics qty = 5]

bbPress is inheriting some CSS from your theme that is suppose to be for the WordPress comments.

try this custom CSS to fix the issue

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  margin: 0px;
}

Hey bbpress people. I am having a trouble with my forum. The replies look like they are getting cut off. The original is fine. Take a look for yourself. Here is the URL of an example thread. http://www.calledoutracing.com/forums/Topic/cadillac-ats-choices/ . Please help me fix this. I cannot change my theme as it would hav a huge impact on my site. Thanks.

I’ve searched but not found a solution. I’m running the current version of WordPress on a multisite network with a new install of bbPress.

I’m the superadmin of the network and everything works great. However, when I try to give access to another user and give that user a keymaster role the links in the admin bar for Forums, Topics, and Replies is missing.

So far I’ve tried running the repair tool with no change. I can even access the tools with the login that doesn’t show the admin bar links. The forum is located here: q4intel.softwiredweb.net.

Hello to all

Could anyone say me why is not working “Submit button” of BBpress in my theme and why I can’t see manually created topics from the admin control panel?

The web is: http://probando555 DOT esy.es/forums/

Thanks a lot

I’ve been using bbpress plugin to set up forums for my website’s users. Originally there is no function when it comes to ‘counting views’ of each post. So I added some codes according to this website’s advice.

It works fine with general(sitewide) forums but when I made a group(buddypress function) and tried to integrate it with bbpress forum, the view count php code does not work in group forums. (Still, it works perfectly fine at sitewide forums)

this is my code right now (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php)

<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count">
    <?php 

if( !function_exists('get_wpbbp_post_view') ) :
// get bbpress topic view counter
function get_wpbbp_post_view($postID){
$count_key = 'post_views_count';
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==''){
    delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
    add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0');
    return "0";
}
return $count;
}
function set_wpbbp_post_view($postID) {
$count_key = 'post_views_count';
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if( $count == '' ){
    add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '1');
} else {
    $new_count = $count + 1;
    update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $new_count);
}
}
endif;

if( !function_exists('add_wpbbp_topic_counter') ) :
// init the view counter in bbpress single topic
function add_wpbbp_topic_counter() {
global $wp_query;
$bbp = bbpress();
$active_topic = $bbp->current_topic_id;
set_wpbbp_post_view( $active_topic );
}
add_action('bbp_template_after_single_topic', 'add_wpbbp_topic_counter');
endif;

echo get_wpbbp_post_view( bbp_get_topic_id() ); ?>
</li>

looking forward to your template or codex changes

I just updated the codex article and put an example template to look and study off of.

It is not just copy and pasting the template into a file and it working, you have to study it and read the comments in the code and find similarities in your index.php file. Then you can create a bbpress.php file from your index.php file.

If I add the short-code to a custom page using the page.php code it works

Yes I know but it is just that page, you need all of the bbPress forum pages. Using shortcodes like that means you would have to put a topic shortcode for every topic you have in a bunch of pages. And that is not what either of us are looking for , right??

It doesnt matter if the default forum uses index.php or page.php – it doesnt work.

Yes it does, and you have to edit the new bbpress.php file.

I have sequentially copied pages.php and index.php and made them bbpress.php and each time I can see that the default forum is using it, and each time it doesnt work

Its not as easy as just renaming it.

So i guess I need a generic index.php that will work (which I think you said you were producing) OR some workaround so the generic forums page doesnt appear in the directory path

Was busy with other stuff , but yes i uploaded an example template to look over and compare to your index.php. You cannot just copy and paste , you have to look at the simple code and read how it works in the comments i left in the code.

Hi,

I am using BBPRESS for my website, I checked this option from backend:

“Embed media (YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) directly into topics and replies”

but only administrator can embed youtube and other embed just reflect the IFRAME code.

can you help what I am missing, I need it to be allowed for CONTRIBUTORS to embed the youtube embed code.

Thanks Sanny

[aaronos]

Hi there – thanks so much for your help so far. I did some more tests and I just cant get it to work (so looking forward to your template or codex changes.

To summarise:

1. I was only using WPtweaks to tell it which page to use as a template but no matter which one I told it to use – it didnt work. Have since de-activated

2. If I add the short-code to a custom page using the page.php code it works

3. It doesnt matter if the default forum uses index.php or page.php – it doesnt work.

4. I have sequentially copied pages.php and index.php and made them bbpress.php and each time I can see that the default forum is using it, and each time it doesnt work

So i guess I need a generic index.php that will work (which I think you said you were producing) OR some workaround so the generic forums page doesnt appear in the directory path

Using the newest versions of wordpress and bbpress 5/26/2015

[vpontin]

Hi all!

After some search here on support forum and in bbpress itself (v2.5.7, wordpress 4.2.1), i dont find anything about this (only Multsite-related, which isn’t my case).

My question is: Is possible to bbpress use forums.example.org instead of example.org/forums ? I want to setup a small website consisting of a forum and a portal (blog), and i want to know if this is possible.

Thank you in advance

[TallSam]

I’d like to have my bbpress sidebar on the right rather than the left, how can I do this? I’m using the travel blogger theme.

Thanks,
Sam

Hey @robkk –

We’re off the “staging” area now, so I’ve got the bbPress installed at:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/

The RSS feed for everything in the forum (new topics, replies, etc) is:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/feed/

However, when I try to do the /discuss/topics/feed it just says “comments on …” as if it would only be showing a comments feed. Nothing shows up there?

[Emineminero]

good, i will try using gd bbpress attachments. Will see how it goes.
Thank you!
