I’ve also tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling bbpress, to no effect.

[krw1243]

I’ve tried themes that claim to be bbpress compatible, as well as twenty ten, twenty twelve, and twenty fourteen – all look the same.

I’m trying to add BBPress to my WordPress site, but after installation, my forum looks completely unformatted:

http://fortcollinsmodernquiltguild-fcmqg.rhcloud.com/forums/forum/fort-collins-modern-quilt-guild-forums/

I’ve tried removing all other plugins that didn’t come with the site, removing and re-adding themes, using the default themes, but it always looks like this. Is it supposed to look like this until I do something? Or is something else messing with what should be some sort of sane default formatting?

[Martyn Chamberlin]

Afraid I’ve already tried deactivating all plugins besides bbPress :\

[Robin W]

no problem, I remember my first time playing with FTP, which was only two years ago !

Great that you making progress !

the directory should be

wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/bbpress

[jtstables]

Should I use ‘bbpress’ie or should the directory just be wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress ? And should I use %your-theme-name% or should use my theme name, twentyeleven ? I am very confused and don’t want to mess this up.

I went to the link above on how to create a child theme but when I tried to follow this link,https://make.wordpress.org/training/modules-in-progress/child-theme-module/ it was a 404 error. So I’m going to try and change the main theme. I go to the Twenty Eleven theme directory on the ftp to make the ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress directory. Correct? Should I this be the exact name of the directory? ‘bbpress’ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

I have installed the latest version of BBPress on a WP Multisite install, on in its own subdomain, which I guess I could map with a cname if it would help solve this problem.

I did this so that I could theme the forums differently to the primary domain.

The url looks like this now… http://forums.domain.tld/forums/

Is it possible to run BBPress as the forums subdomain, and not the subdirectory?

[Robin W]

There are companies who do this for a fee for instance

Migrate Mingle to bbpress

(I have no connection nor have I used these people !!)

[Robin W]

ok, no problem, I can’t judge how technical people are 🙂

You can do this in your main theme, but you would do better to create a child theme

Don’t be intimidated, the following should explain

Functions files and child themes – explained !

when you get to

What is FTP and how do I access it?

To access your files, you’ll need an FTP client. Some host providers do with within their administration area, check with your host provider if in doubt

I’m pretty sure form memory that hostgator has an area that does that called c-panel, but check with them if in doubt

I am moderator on a BBpress forum that is being set up, I am trying to set up the forum topics, which I am able to do, however I cannot see how to set up sub topics.

I want to set up something like:

Your Music
Your video recordings
Your audio recordings

The user will then be able to post to the Video and audio topics.

When setting up the topics, I get the Topic Attributes options of the ‘forum name’ or ‘no parent’. I do not get any option to set the parent to ‘Your Video recordings’.

Many thanks in advance
Regards
Howard

bbpress wp4 fix2

[earthdog]

Hi All!

I need to decide if WP is the way to go or build something from scratch in Laravel/ASP.NET MVC.

I need to be able to:

-Each user will have its private area (more than one private forum)
-Will have to be able to tag/categorize their forum posts
-Need for a way to store bbpress content encrypted in db.

Virtually i need to be able to create a network of private diaries (of course it will not be only that but that is the core).

Should i go full custom?

Hi Guys,

I have been looking at other support avenues as I’m really struggling to get anyone to aknowledge my issue over in this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/notification-email-link-problems/

Are there paid support options or any other avenues anyone else can recommend?

Thanks

Steve

bbpress doesn’t do it’s own moderation

1. Do you have askimet running? This can flag users, and bbpress looks at this database.

2. What do you have set in Dashboard>settings>discussion in moderation and balcklists

[Robin W]

not sure why you’re posting this in bbpress support forum?

[Robin W]

ok,

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-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/content-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then change lines
<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

to
<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

and save

that should do it

I have one user on my BBPress application where all of his posts on a topic in a forum go to status ‘Pending’. Even if I turn off all other plugins this still happens. However, if I change his email then his posts are automatically approved.

How can I remove his email from the ‘blacklist’ if there is such a thing in BBPress. I

BBPress 2.5.3

WP role is subscriber and the bbPress role is Participant.

Above I’m using “author” in the generic sense of being the person who generated the content.

I can get in with my Admin, but all other can´t com in. it´s started after 25. januar 2015

i have:
PMPro bbPress
running with Paid Memberships Pro

[Robin W]

I have a problem with BBpress. Mmembers can´t login at my forum and see the post

you will need to provide more information to enable us to help you – the above is like saying ‘my car won’t start – what’s wrong?’

why can’t members log in, what are you using to log in, do they get this, if they do what error messages are they getting, how long has this been going on – always, just started, what else has happened to the site eg upgrades, additional plugins, new themes, can you log on? is it just one bbpress level or all levels etc. etc. etc.

[Editor Mike]

ah-ha, top man, not sure but this one seems the likely culprit:

GD bbPress Attachments version 2.1

[Robin W]

ok, have received the email, and the attachment settings are not part of bbpress, so they must be part of a plugin.

Do you know which one, and is it a forum specific one?

[Robin W]

bbpress will need to access the old database, so it will need the name, and within that database and ‘prefix’ which helps separate databases.

Is there anyone you can contact to find out that info, or where is the database at the moment?
