[Buppha]

I don’t understand why I have posted in this forum before, but somehow my post has been deleted? Now I try to post it again.

I have buddypress version 2.2.0, bbpress version 2.5.4, and wordpress version 4.1. I don’t understand why on some forums I can post topics, and some can’t? For example, I have created 2 different forums which are Beauty and Healthy Food, the problem is that I can create topics in beauty forum, but not in the Healthy Food forum? So, I don’t understand why? I thank you in advance!
The forum that I can post topics is: http://buppha.com/forums/forum/beauty/
The forum that I cannot post topics is: http://buppha.com/forums/forum/forums/healthy-food/

bbpress uses your wordpress theme for styling

you can also look at

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

and

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/

[Robin W]

ok, I can your issue

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

Hey,

Thankx allot for posting. Am using a child theme so that its easy to modify bbpress and buddypress.

I did as asked, bbpress-> loop-single-forum.php and changed the size = xx part to even down to 4 but unfortunately it still looks the same as it did before :(. I even tired increasing the size to see if it works but no result to that either. 🙁

I am about to setup my first bbpress forum, it will be kind of basic, but I was just wonder if anyone could suggest some good themes to use.

Thanks in advance!

[weirdman]

only want to install bbpress… any guide how to do it ?

[Robin W]

ok, if you have ftp access then…

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Then look at line 74

<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

The ‘size’ => 14 is the avatar size, so reduce this to what you want.

@korobochkin, The official bbPress repo links are as follows,

SVN:
https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org

Git:
git://bbpress.git.wordpress.org

I was able to pin it down a bit more. I discovered that this was happening only when the woocommerce shop page was set as Front page in the WordPress Reading Settings. How come? Beats me, but when I selected another page as front page the Forums shows up. Beside that I have a topic out at Woocommerce that the pagination is not working properly. When the shop page is set as front page, the second and any other product page I want to go to takes me to a wrong page. So it looks like it is a permalink issue caused by one of the plugins.

However I definitely want the shop page as my front page. So I had to find a work around. I downloaded a page redirect plugin called Page Links To, created a new page and named it Start. There is no content on that page, I only set the redirect. Selected this page as the static Front page an it all works.

I have my shop page at front, the woocommerce pagination works and the bbPress forums are showing.

Of course the real issue is not solved so please do investigate and let me know.

[Fluvervius]

Anyone know if this still works with the newest versions of bbPress and MyBB?

[cman18]

I think this plugin does this backwards.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

Looks like it has something to do with comments and forum posts not exactly what Im looking for.

The way Id like this to work is when I create a post on my blog, a forum post will created as well.

Thx

while activating the BB Wysiwyg Editor.

any idea what to do ?

Edit 1: worked it out. its activated but its not showing anything 🙁

But then how on earth do all these other massive BBPress installations (like the one we’re on right now) cope?

[–Q–Shadows]

Hey,

I meant adding a background similar to that we have here on bbpress.org forums (boxed up), the code u gave me just adds an ugly green background – http://imgur.com/ps2CL3l

So, I’m creating a website, looking to have a nice forums section, And of course I install the bbPress plugin onto my wordpress site. Here’s the problem. Once I do this and activate the plugin my main navigation menu becomes erred out with the following error displaying:
“Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /misc/39/000/056/879/2/user/web/hubhao.com/wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php on line 403”

So, when I disabled the plugin my main navigation menu went back to normal. What’s going on here? What can/should I look at to fix this issue?

Thank you Robkk,

The bbPress is working perfectly in my child theme without having a bbPress.php file included in the theme at all, so I’m happy with it all now.

I guess I mis understood the codex instructions or more likely was trying to make things more complicated than need be (i specialize in that).

your reply helps me understand how it should be done. thanks!

[–Q–Shadows]

The title says it all.

The miniture avatars that appear in forum index or New Topics page along with the author are being displayed too big as shown in pics here – http://imgur.com/RsoPg6f & http://imgur.com/TY8qULe

However the image displays proper within any reply.

Would really appreciate if someone could solve this issue.

PS> I initially had this issue when using bbpress with WP User Avatar plugin, but then I removed it and went with BuddyPress and I still seem have the same issue.

Thankx in advance.

Regards.

[SGMAX]

Thanks! This helped. It was actually a plugin that somehow conflicted with bbPress.

[Robkk]

this might work

[Shaped Pixels]

Thanks for the plugin info…although this is something that bbpress should change (correct) without using any plugin. When one logs into the admin (dashboard), they should redirect to the dashboard, regardless if bbpress is installed.

[Robkk]

yeah WPML and bbPress have some compatiblity issues

you should also search the WPML forums and post to the WPML forums if you need some support from them.

[Robkk]

@smwln

usually creating the bbpress.php file and removing the about author code should fix it
