Yes. So my site has 3 set sidebars, not including bbPress sidebar when bbPress tweak is activated. These are:
*default sidebar
*building sidebar
*health sidebar
I can create any page and apply any of these sidebars without issue. As soon as I use the permalink \forums and the forum is used, then no matter which sidebar I select for use on the page, nor whether I use bbPress tweak, only the default sidebar is used.

I appreciate the help and I will undertake or answer any further questions you have, but not for some time. I’m guessing you guys are based on the US but it’s pretty late here so I best be off. Look forward to nutting this out further in the morning.

Thanks,
Brenden.

	if( is_page() || is_bbpress() ) {
		if( is_page_template( 'templates/template-blog-large-image.php' ) ) {
			travelify_theloop_for_template_blog_image_large();
		}
		elseif( is_page_template( 'templates/template-blog-medium-image.php' ) ) {
			travelify_theloop_for_template_blog_image_medium();
		}
		elseif( is_page_template( 'templates/template-blog-full-content.php' ) ) {
			travelify_theloop_for_template_blog_full_content();
		}

Hi, i have a wired problem.
When i have bbpress activate, my page works fine.

but when i deactivate the bbpress plugin, my mainpage stop working,
and i get a php error in logs

[10-Feb-2015 10:47:43 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function is_bbpress() in /var/www/clients/client3/web3/web/wp-content/themes/travelify/library/structure/content-extensions.php on line 65

Locate the form-anonymous.php file within templates/default/bbpress and remove the following paragraph.

<p>
<label for=”bbp_anonymous_website”><?php _e( ‘Website:’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></label><br />
<input type=”text” id=”bbp_anonymous_website” value=”<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” size=”40″ name=”bbp_anonymous_website” />
</p>

The website field should now disappear 🙂

Hi folks,

I could really use some help! I’ve installed bbpress and it’s beginning to look good, but I’m having some problems with the table alignment.

My theme is responsive but for some reason, the individual forum columns (ie freshness, topic, etc) aren’t holding their shape at all and keep running over onto the next line, making the forum look very messy on mobile.

I have access to the CSS file but can’t figure out the code I need to make sure that the columns remain ‘fixed’, regardless of the screen size/orientation. Here’s a link – I would be very grateful if you could give me a hint as to what I need to change. I’m running wordpress 4.1 and the latest version of bbpress.

Thank you!

Welcome, and I wish everybody wrote such a clear problem definition !!

Ok, what we need to do is to get bbpress to use the correct template/part of template that has the sidebar setup you want.

This is always that hardest part of getting bbpress working, as theme authors do like to make complicated themes !

First can you tell me what way bbpress is working in step 3 below

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

ok, so

twenty twelve theme without bbpress.php works
twenty twelve theme with bbpress.php doesn’t work
twenty tweleve child with bbpress.php and twenty twelve parent without bbpress.php doesn’t work
twenty tweleve child without bbpress.php and twentytwelve parent without bbpress.php doesn’t work

Is that correct? or if not can you test each of the above

[BrendenW]

Hi Guys,

Sorry in advance as I am going to be a pain in the ass here I bet, as I have very, very limited experience with wordpress or any website building for that matter; however, that’s marginally more than anyone else in my company so I’ve been saddled with the duty of getting it all set up and running.

Prologue
I have decided to create a forum and have downloaded bbPress for this. I needed to make certain things private and downloaded bbPress private to help with that. I wanted to make custom sidebars and downloaded bbPress tweak for that feature.

We had the website made by an external company, they created it on wordpress and created a custom theme with a lot of templates within the themes. Call be cynical, but I think it was to try and squeeze us for every cent by making us come to them for any minor variation.

Situation
Despite all my attempts through every simple way I could think of I can not get my forum to show a custom side bar. The forum itself though is set up as I want it and more than workable, it’s just the aesthetics of having the right sidebar.

Troubleshooting Undertaken
* I started with all three plugins activated and created my forum and created a page could forums. So the permalink was set up. The sidebar was not what was expected. I have tried using every default template and every sidebar that my site has to no avail. Sidebar stayed exactly the same as it was.
* I went in to the setting of bbPress Tweak and selected the different .php files, only the bottom 3 were in bold and when I selected the 2nd or 3rd from the bottom nothing happened. When I selected the bottom one, the side bar moved from the side to underneath and the forum went to full screen width.
* I deactivated bbPress Tweak and tried again, nothing new happened, same old sidebar.
* I decided to change the permalink away from the slug to see if when it was just a standard page if I could change the sidebar (to try and see if it was a bbPress forum problem or a theme template problem). The sidebar changed to what ever I wished it to be and I could change from sidebar to fullwidth as I pleased.

Conclusion
I am left to believe that it must be a problem (problem isn’t the right word) with bbPress loading a specific template/sidebar. I don’t understand why bbPress tweak is not able to overwrite this though?

Any help would be of great assistance, though as mentioned to begin with, I am very new to all this so you may need to dumb down the help if you can.

Hi there,
have seen some other posts but still having serious problems. Have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress but users are not receiving notifications when subscribing to topics or forums. Have tried the patch in 2618 but still not working.

Kind Regards

KatieKat

[markf1]

so just to be clear and re-cap.

When I left everything the same, with bbPress.php in my child theme, and the default/unchanged twenty twelve parent theme, then activated the twenty twelve theme – the forum links worked and the problem went away.

Switch back to child theme and problem resumes.

Add bbPress.php to Twenty Twelve theme and then activate Twenty Twelve – problem remains.

thanks for your ongoing help!

Hello. I’m new to bbPress and to WordPress in general. I have installed the bbPress plugin and am trying to set up the bbPress user profile to do a few things below.

Is there a plugin or collection of plugins that you can suggest to help me do these things? In general, I’m not comfortable editing code.

Here’s what I’d like to do:
1. Alter the bbPress user profile page–adding new fields, editing existing fields and removing fields
2. Add a link to the bbPress Login Widget for users to edit their profiles (instead of clicking their names…clicking their names doesn’t seem obvious to me)
3. Completely hide any backend/admin type stuff from non-admin users so that they never leave the frontend part of the site

Thanks

[markf1]

Hi robin,

I put my bbPress.php into the Twenty Twelve parent theme, activated the twenty tweleve theme, and the forum links still do not work / problem remains with that config.

I tried the above with also removing the bbPress.php from my child theme. still no joy.

I tried the above with my child theme activated. continued no luck.

I made a page with the short code. links don’t work, problem remains.

Thanks for your continued help!

[Robin W]

no can’t tell you why you have jumps – again I suspect spam filter taking out commenst – do you run askimet?

At least, for each topic the number for the first message should be #1 no?

no, bbpress is using wordpress post numbers. Everytime a post, page, comment, forum, topic or reply (and any other custom posts) are created or media item (eg picture) is uploaded, a wordpress post number is allocated.

Hence you could easily get large gaps in the numbers.

[Robin W]

ok, two thoughts

1. if you put your bbpress.php into the twenty twelve parent theme, does it work ?- that will eliminate that file

2. can you create a page and put the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in it and see how that page works or not

[David13_13]

Hello

I have found this great plugin but I have an idea for improve his effectivity:

Now, if only ONE user report a message, that message will show the “this message has been marked as reported” message. The ideal, in my opinion, will be that you could choose how many reports are necessary to show that message. For example: only if 3 users report a reply it will show the report message.

Anyone knows how can be made?

Thanks in advance

Same issue. Deactivating all plugins except bbpress and changing themes does nothing.

The above errors are what I saw this morning. I deactivated all my plugins and narrowed down the two that when amr plugin and bbpress plugin are both activated i get the 500 error. the 500 error does not show when on or the other is deactivated.

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Here is another thread about it- very recent

Email notifications not working; looking for help

[Robin W]

Hey really pleased – I started learning bbpress when I was asked to convert a Snitz forum in an access database to bbpress – it took me 17 attempts before I got it all working, with numerous resets and deletes in between, so I know the bizz you get when it finally works !

Hopefully it will all settle down now !

[milenushka]

As I just said in another thread about this issue-

Just tested and no emails here either. This is strange cause I subscribed to one of the buddypress forums and I am getting emails when new topics are being posted.
Are they using another version of bbpress?

[markf1]

Robin,

I deactivated all the Plug-Ins except bbPress. No change, problem remains.

I switched to TwentyTwelcve theme and is whacked out the site but.. the forum links do seem to work.

So it appears that my child theme is somehow causing this. Maybe link styling/css? Or maybe something in the functions.php?

I’m unsure of how to trouble shoot this. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Springgg]

I did it!
The missing thing was “_”… When I used “wp_” as the Table prefix, it worked!
On the other hand, the process drove my host crazy and I hope that bbPress itself wont prove to be (how they like to put it) abusing the resources…

[Robin W]

Not sure if you mean a theme.

bbpress uses wordpress themes.

If you want to style your forums use

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

[Robin W]

bbpress uses custom post types, so forum posts will take the next number available in wp-posts list, along with posts, pages and other custom post types.

I’d suggest that if you’ve seen a big jump, then you spam filter is probably working hard, and that the missing numbers are spam comments in wordpress.
