ok, it’s working fine on my test site with bbpress and twentyten.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hello,
Thank you for your great plugin first of all.

I have one task and I hope you could help me to solve it. Is it possible to define in which forum (by forum ID) search form should search for results? Could you please explain me how can I achieve that? (I would like to make search on one of my forums (define that forum by ID), but not all)

Thanks.

I’ve tried to install the danish langauge pack to my forum.

i have tried to do:

How to use the language files

Rename each file of the files to bbpress-language_COUNTRY.extension

eg. bbpress-plugin-pt-br.po to bbpress-pt_BR.po
and bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo to bbpress-pt_BR.mo.
Note: Ensure you use the – and _ in the correct place per the above example.

still doesnt work.. can someone help me?

I think what you want is the template from my plugin bbp style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

you can install this plugin if you like, it has lots of stuff in it, but if you just want the styling above then download the plugin to your pc, and do the following

1. Create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

2. Find bbp-style-pack/extras/loop-forums.php and make a copy

3. Paste this copy into the directory called bbpress that you created in 1. above, so you end up with

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

4. Reload the site (don’t just refresh)

To stop using this just delete the file wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

[Robkk]

i think using a plugin like this will help

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

[Robkk]

download the forums.php file and insert it into your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

you can also use Robin’s plugin , it has the same file inside the plugin and it gives you options to style your bbpress installation better.

Did anybody find a way to make this work, I have a theme with exactly the same issue and cannot seem to find the correct page template to hook into. Is there another way to solve this? The forum main index and subsequent bbpress pages all display correct just minus the search box and login links etc. If I use the short code they do display correctly.

Hi all!

I’m totally green to BBPress and BuddyPress and I feel so out of my element. Hopefully someone here can help me!

I’m working on a new community-based website and I would like to set my forums up to look something like this:

http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums/

Multiple categories, with multiple forums, but I’m just not really sure how to go about this. They look weird when I set them up on my site and I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Is Tamriel Foundry using some sort of plugin to make their forums appear like that?

Hoping someone can help me.

How my forums look presently: http://screencast.com/t/S1Fmp8ZwD

Any help will be absolutely appreciated!

Hi,

I know this has been asked a million times so my apologies, but, is there a way to merge comments on articles into bbpress forum posts and replies.

aka Whenever an article is published a bbPress topic is made, and whenever someone comments on an article, it becomes a reply. So, people can comment on articles, and they can go to the forum and it will be filled with a mix of forum posts and comment posts.

thanks.

[weirdman]

thread can be closed now. had to run wordpress in order to use the bbpress.

Hi everyone

Most of our forum counts on the homepage are OK, but the first forum is displaying 8,343 Topics and 8,343 Posts. It should be more like 8,343 Topics and 40,000 Posts. I have tried using the repair function to recount the topics and posts, but it hasn’t helped.

I also tried deactivating all plugins except bbpress and switching to the 2014 theme. But the posts are still being counted incorrectly.

We’re using all the latest versions of WP, BBP etc.

Does anyone have any other suggestions that I can try? Thanks!

[mhairilongmuir]

Hi there,

I have been trying to follow the instruction on your page: http://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/

I searched online and via the wordpress dashboard for the plugin mentioned ‘wp modal login’ and I can’t find it?

If not, does anyone have the link for it, or instructions for another one that will work with bbPress? (I’m using the most recent version of WordPress, bbPress and Canvas theme)

Many thanks

[miglaraujo]

Hi there,

I’ve been working around bbpress for the past 5 hours, and i’m now using the plugin bbpress addition shortcodes to build my forum.

This is my forum:
http://invaderz.pt/community/?page_id=29

As you can see, i have multiple forum indexes, but they all have the same name. But i need them to have different names from each other.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thank you for you time,
Miguel

bbpress stores its role in the same array as wordpress roles

ie in

usermeta[‘wp_capabilities’]

and an entry looks like

a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

with admin being the wordpress role and bbp_keymaster being the bbpress role.

A pure wordpress user would look like

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1}

Now, and this is probably key, when a users registers they just get the wordpress role. When they then log on bbpress sees that it has no role set, so assigns the default role.

Now if emember is writing info to wp_capabilities, it could be overwriting part or the entire array (so by mistake deleting the bbpress role) or appending to it so that bbpress no longer sees it’s role. Then when the user next logs on, bbpress will see no role set, and set it back to the default.

This could explain why users would be going back to default

the try widget logic

Download “widget logic”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

This plugin lets you specify conditions for when widget items are displayed.

You would then put all the widgets for both the blog page and the forum page in one sidebar

Against each of these you then specify whether you want it to appear on the forum page, on any page with a sidebar that is not the forum (eg your blog), or on both forum and other sidebar pages.

you do this by putting the following code in the widget logic box that you will see appears against each widget

For a forum sidebar you put : is_bbpress() ie is this page a forum page
For any other sidebar you put : !is_bbpress() ie is this page NOT a forum page
For any item to appear on both, simply leave the logic blank.

Give that a try and come back and let us know how it works

Hey,

Nice plugin. Reduces allot of the headache when it comes to customizing bbpress looks 🙂

One thing I cant get to work around thou is the Forum Template Extras that comes with it. I followed the instructions provided, copied the code from loop-forums.php to my bbpress folder but for some reason the I cant see any effect of it on my forums :(.

[mhairilongmuir]

I am having the same problem – I have followed the instructions in the codex, and added WP Tweaks, but my custom sidebar for the forum page is not showing. When I go in and edit bbpress.php manually via the editor, the changes show in the sidebar. But when I try to do it via the widgetized area, the bbpress sidebar doesn’t show.

I also tried Robin W’s fix – moving the widgets out of the area and switching off the plugin etc, but that also didn’t work.

I am using a child theme of Canvas, and have also implemented the ‘Fix for BBPress and Canvas (5.2 and higher)’ Fix for BBPress and Canvas (5.2 and higher) –

[Robin W]

yes but you’ll need to do some coding

see

http://generatewp.com/shortcodes/

the code would go in your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

and the code you’ll be seeking to shortcode is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

in particular

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

[Seo45]

Hello everyone, I’m having a problem. I am using something called uerpro, and I integrated it into bbpress, but it now makes it where the profile links to the userpro profiles. This is what I want, but I was wondering if the things like: New posts, replies, signature and everything that was in the bbpress profile page can be put into the userpro profile page. It uses a single page as the template, so if there are shortcodes or something, that would be perfect. Thank you for any help!

[Robin W]

Long string in here on how to do it

Full page width with left sidebar twentyfourteen

with a link to another thread

If you fix, come back and confirm what you changed

[Robin W]

hmmm, not heard of this in bbpress, I’d suspect emember is having issues with bbpress
