I also tried all the “forum wrappers” in the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ and it didn’t work.

[shootingtime]

While redesigning my website, I can not get the custom sidebar to work in the bbPress forum.

Plugins I have installed:

-Custom Sidebars

-bbPress WP Tweaks

Theme: Smart Mag
Forum URL: http://shootingtime.com/test2/archery-bowhunting-forum/

This is how I got to where I’m at:

Attempt #1

1. I assigned bbPress to use the forum root slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/

2. I created a page with the url slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/

3. With the ‘Custom Sidebars’ plugin, I created a sidebar called ‘forums sidebar’.

4. I checked the box entitled ‘Allow this sidebar to be replaced’ on the sidebar named “main sidebar”

5. I went to the forum page (with the url slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/) and selected the ‘forums sidebar’ from the custom sidebar options

This did not work. I tried it with another individual page and it did work so I assume it’s a bbPress specific problem.

Attempt #2

1. I installed bbPress WP Tweaks

2. bbPress WP Tweaks gave me a widget called “bbPress sidebar” so I customized it.

It didn’t work.

I went to the forum page and selected “bbPress sidebar” in the option field. This didn’t work either.

There is one way I did get the forum index page and the custom sidebar to show up at the same time. It happened when the url slug was different the the bbPress forum slug and I used the bbPress shortcode for the forum to show up. When I clicked on a subforum, the custom sidebar disappeared though.

Please someone HELP!!!!!!!

Thanks

Hi,

I have translated bbpress into Chinese with poedit application. Could anyone help me to upload .po file to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects?

thanks

Robin W: I tried de-activating all the plugins, and it is BuddyPress (Version 2.1.1) which is causing the problem. Now what should I do about this? BuddyPress itself recommends bbPress to use it as forum, and not their plugin itself is not compatible with bbPress.

Hi there,

Ive been searching all over the internet to find out how i can change the sort order of the forum root page to display topics alphabetically. It would almost seem to me that his is a problem someone may have encountered before but to my surprise I could not find anything, except topics on the sorting of forums.

I realize the core functionality that needs to be changed is in the loop-topics.php template, that ‘orderby’ value in the wp_query array needs to be changed to ‘title’ and the ‘order’ value to ‘ASC’. When I change the ‘orderby’ value to ‘title’ directly in that file, the sorting does change, but for the life of me it will not reverse the alphabetical sorting order when ‘order’ is set to ‘ASC’?!?

And perhaps any ideas how can I allow the user choose between date and alphabetical sorting? It would seem this should perhaps be an option in bbpress?

Site is redflagclient.co.za. Check under Find Client, demo login:

Username: demo_user
Password: password

Any tips would be much appreciated 🙂 Thanks guys

these features you listed from what i can tell aren’t that bad im sure a developer at jobs.wordpress.net could develop this

1. there is already a mobile device layout created from the bbPress stylesheet , but its not that great but it does the job. You can improve the layout with bbPress but that requires a lot of modifying bbpress templates in your child theme.

1.1 It should be not ZOOM in when I push to post a topic\message answer

please explain this so i can know if its a bug or not

[NewCo]

Actually I think my mind generated an Idea)

1) Mobile app which is loading a mobile version of bbPress
1.1 It should be not ZOOM in when I push to post a topic\message answer
1.2 Keyboard should be like a bottom-tasbar in windows) when pusing at “typing area”
2) https://wp-push.com/extension/pushover-notifications-for-bbpress/ not sure is it possible to word with another app rather that PushOver….

[Robin W]

ok,

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.

[Robin W]

I’ve just added a shortcode to one of my plugins that lets you custom list forums

bbp additional shortcodes

[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’] Displays the selected forum indexes – see the site for details

[love11a004]

Sorry for the late reply. I somehow had lost my login to bbpress.org forums.

[love11a004]

Robin W: The problem was even before installing wp4 fix. Even after installing wp4 fix, it didn’t help.

[Robkk]

you can disable the search form in settings>forums in the backend dashboard of WordPress so that you wont have to use the CSS anymore.

and unless you already did you could remove the code that renders the title in your bbpress.php file.

if you haven’t created a bbpress.php you should

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

if you still need help copy the first half of the bbpress.php file you have in a reply here.

[Robin W]

As you no doubt already know, this is just a warning message, and bbpress say it is an issue with wordpress, and are waiting for wordpress to fix. Also as you know (but for others reading this), turning off debug fixes this.

If you want it to disappear whilst you are developing (and so need debug on), then go to

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/sub-actions.php

and comment out/change line 147

_doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, __( 'The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().', 'bbpress' ), '2.3' );

to

//_doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, __( 'The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().', 'bbpress' ), '2.3' );

and change back after developing as well as turning debug off for the production environment

[Robkk]

see if its a plugin or theme issue

@nishant2hit

use this plugin instead and see if it works

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

[Robkk]

hmm i thought they would have bbPress support since they have the sister project BuddyPress supported shown on there site, well at least they could implement it in the future though.

and well you could use a normal web browser/WordPress app in view site and go to the regular WordPress dashboard on your site and edit the bbPress settings that way.

like i said you can receive push notifications to your phone with pushover and the plugin mentioned above or hell you can use IFTTT and bbPress’s RSS feeds for its custom post types too.

with the search from XML-RPC i think you would need some custom development

you can go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or any other freelance websites.

if you do get this all set up like you want , can you please post a topic in Pimp your press cause i would like to check out the results.

[Robin W]

The template you’ll want to alter is

loop-single-reply

Would take a lot of altering

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

[Robin W]

This is an error in wordpress and awaiting their fix

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412

Switching off debug fixes it, but appreciate that it is annoying !

[Robin W]

Forums are stored in the database, so you will not find them using ftp

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.

like I understood Appressor and ReactOS is the same company, and they provided me with that answer:

“We presently do not have any sort of bbPress support built into Reactor, but I can put it down as a feature request. Do note that I can’t guarantee that it’ll be implemented, and if it is, I can’t give an estimate for how soon.”

So does it mean that I need a hire a developer ONLY for my purpose?

ps: I installed a JetPack and didn’t see anything new into settings-forum as well

Hello,
I have been trying to implement a function to my bbpress forums but am not sure how to do so. I believe I have the correct script though I do not know how to implement it.
My goal is to start a timer on the topic once a new topic is created.
The script that I was informed should work is
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
var timerID = null;
var timerRunning = false;
var now = new Date();
var hours = 0;
var minutes =0;
var seconds =0
function stopclock ()
{
if(timerRunning)
clearTimeout(timerID);
timerRunning = false;
}
function showtime ()
{
if(seconds>=59)
{
seconds=0;
minutes=minutes+1;
}
else
{
seconds=1+seconds;
}
if(minutes>=59)
{
minutes=0;
hours=hours+1;
}
var timeValue =zeroPad(hours,2)+”:”+zeroPad(minutes,2)+”:”+zeroPad(seconds,2);
document.getElementById(“timeDisplay”).innerHTML=timeValue;
timerID = setTimeout(“showtime()”,1000);
timerRunning = true;
}
function startclock()
{
stopclock();
showtime();
}
// End –>
function zeroPad(num,count)
{
var numZeropad = num + ”;
while(numZeropad.length < count) {
numZeropad = “0” + numZeropad;
}
return numZeropad;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload=”startclock();”>
<h2 style=”color: #000000; margin: left;”>
Processing Time :: <span id=”timeDisplay”></span>
</body>
</html>

It might have been already reported to you, I would like to post another vote to get rid of the following message:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3547

which starts showing up when bbPress is activated and WP_DEBUG is on in /wp-config.php. It does not seem to break functionality of bbPress, but it is very annoying, when one tries to debug other stuff.

Thank you very much.

[Robkk]

test this out cause im not entirely sure , but install jetpack if you havent already on your site and download the WordPress app from Google Play and connect your self hosted WordPress site to the app.

can you see any settings for bbPress in the app dashboard?? like settings>forums??

just so you know this only allows you to manage your site from the dashboard in the app, nothing frontend. If you want a custom app i highly recommend Apppressor.

if you feel like you need to hire a developer go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or any other freelance website for custom development.

[Robin W]

@cbsy lots of ways to achieve this – two below

1. Look in

Dashboard>settings>forums>Forum Root slug, and see what ‘forum root’ is set to

The create a page with this name on it – so title the page this

The in that page write whatever intro you want, and then put

[bbp-forum-index] at the bottom of the content

bbpress will then use this page as your forum root.

2.

Add the following to your functions file

add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'my_intro' ) ;

Function my_intro () {
Echo '<div class="entry-content"> Here is my intro text. This is lots of writing to introduce the forums and make people read this stuff </div>' ;
}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

If you hit prolems or need further help, just come back !

[NewCo]

thx for the answer. I have an idea:

Is it possible to modify – https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android and make some changes like add a FORUM button? and create a functional using XML-RPC for BBPress…

if yes here s some questions:

Does the BBPRESS – SEARCH available from XML-RPC?

ANYBODY want to spend 1-2 days to make that stuff, may be open source?
