Running bbpress 2.5.4 on WP 4.0using Twenty Twelve default theme.

When users logout they get this message:
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

Also, when logging in, ALL users get
You are already logged in.

after pressing submit.

Both seem to be odd responses to the task that was just completed. Is this a bug?

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

This happens when you change bbPress settings. For example forum slug or topic slug. Right now this can be fixed by flushing rewrite rules manually. My plugin don’t add any rules and hooks on this event. I keep digging into bbPress.

[zimmermann.c]

BBPress members of group do not get any message when a new forum reply is posted, because the subscription check box is not displayed on the botom of the reply.
I have tried to use “bbPress auto subscribe for new topics and replies” without any result
The check box appears when I use “daily mail” instead of “all mails”.
Is there reason for that? any advise?

ok, we have two issues with wp 4.0

ISSUE 1

The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

The most often used is ‘postname’

This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

2. revert to 3.9.2

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

ISSUE TWO

The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

For the second, the patch in this plugin may help.

I’m sitting here on a beautiful sunny afternoon in Melbourne typing this on my iPad…

The above was line # 1, this would be line #3,
line #4,
line #5

line #7

line #9

line #10,
line #11,
line #12,
line #13,
line #14,

This “should” work fine and I’ve not heard of this before, can you test this with a WordPress default theme or two, Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Thirteen, I expect this to be a theme issue with whatever theme your using rather than a bbPress issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

The ----- is caused when WordPress has dropped it’s authentication session with MySQL.

As to further improvements, that is cool and would be great, using the same username and password here if you can create a a new ticket on Trac, our bug tracker here that would be great, if your familiar with SVN you can check out the source and upload a patch.

[coskel22]

Very bizarre – using theme Twenty Twelve, WP 4.0 and bbpress 2.5.4

all iPad users are experiencing an issue when creating a new post. At line 12 of a new post, the post window falls below the screen real estate and they have to wait for it to “bounce” to bring up more of the text field to type in.

Its only happens on iFroot devices such as iPad and iPod, not on Mac desktop users. Not to a specific browser, its happening across all browsers.

Hi all,

Hope you’re having a good day.

I’ve just finished building my first bbPress site and I wanted to get some feedback from you guys on what would make it better.

You can check it out here:

MMA Betting Tips

Let me know what you think 🙂

[Robkk]

what I’d like to do is by default show all existing (not just most used) topic tags when someone is creating a topic from within WP

so your saying the way how categories are displayed in backend you want for topic-tags in the frontend.

ive seen a support forum for one my themes authors site i was on have that kind of functionality (but they dont use bbpress), they use something custom.

i think how its done on their site is just some jquery , and kind of does the same functionality that the bbpress quicktag toolbar does.

like set up some a set of words then you click the button and it automatically inserts into the tag area.

but setting it up where all the tags show in the frontend would be difficult , it would probably need a hacked version of the topic tag cloud widget.

but yeah i just did a brainstorm/analysis on what you might need.

im not sure how to do this , as im very much confused by jquery and javascript

i would hire a developer to this kind of job.

that big green banner on the page says this

These pages are for bbPress versions less than 2.0. They are considered out of date and are here for legacy only.

this information is for the bbpress standalone software.

if you are using the plugin it is already integrated with wordpress.

[skyynet]

I’m about to setup my first wordpress site for my kid’s school.
There are two main topics I want to setup which are forums and galleries.
For bbPress I’d like to shar the user data with WordPress. Unfortunately I can’t find the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin, like it’s menioned at http://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/integrating-with-wordpress/

Has the way on how to integrate changed for wp4? Any hints on how to get this working?

Thanks!

[jeanflemming43]

I appreciate you making the extra effort to help me resolve this issue. I am new to WordPress, and I developed this theme from scratch my first. I noticed the sidebar was set to relative and will make some adjustments to ensure I fix the sidebar issue. I didn’t notice it until installing bbPress which is why I thought it maybe an issue with the page template being used. After trying to renaming and adding a copy of my page template file to bbpress.php, I did not notice a change. Again, thank you and I appreciate your feedback.

[Robkk]

there is alot of documentation talking about styling bbpress.

[shughey]

Robin’s last fix works, at least on my site. Using WP4.0 and bbpress 2.5.4, this plugin worked.

Theme : Method (mysitemyway)
Plugins: bbpress 2.5.4, buddypress 2.0.2, admin bar 1.0, cms tree page view 1.2.30, Random Text 0.3.0, Smooth Scroll Up 0.8.4, Tweetomatic Pro 1.0, Widget Shortcode 0.2.3.

Thanks Robin.

Hi,

I have been tasked with creating a site with a forum on it, i have chosen to do so with WordPress. I have installed WP 3.9.2 and BBpress 2.5.4. I then created at page where users can log in, but when they try, they get redirected to http://www.ellevej.com/wp-login.php with the message HTTP 403 – forbidden.
When they refresh this page, the standard WP login form shows, and they are now able to log in through that form.
I have used the shortcode for bbpress login [bbp-login], as i dont want a sidebar on the site.
Do any of you have any suggestions as to why this happens?

[nwcountry]

this example?

http://www.seniorforums

It doesn’t need to be full-screen though. I just want a simple forum, although I do want to be able to have some color, and some control. I have a host, and have downloaded WordPress (to Hostgator) and now I have added the plugin for bbpress. I am just a bit leary of what I am going to “get”. I would love to just install a vbulletin template, but looks like folks are having trouble uploading forum templates from other sites etc.

Thanks in advance for any help;) denise

PS I don’t plan on any other content, and don’t plan this as a business, just a site for seniors so they can visit and have a place to go online:)

[Robin W]

I guess I’m asking what folder and file contains the page template for http://www.paraquadaccess.com/forums/forum/forums/

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

I used IE – all I saw what that the sidebar was consistent between the site and forums and topics. Since you didn’t detail exactly what was different between the pages, I may not have seen the error !

[pazzaglia]

OK, cannot go back to edit my topic – basically I turned off all of the plug-ins and still could not see the content of the topics. But I put on WP’s default 2014 theme and I COULD see the topics.

So— I suspect it’s my old-a** bbpress non-supported theme. For those of you who found fixes for your themes, can you tell me what you changed and what file you changed it in? I know all themes will differ but it will give me some place to start to do the fix myself.

Thank you!!!

[pazzaglia]

Like many others, my bbpress forums broke when I upgraded to WP 4.0 – all of the topics were still listed, and the pages were there, but you would only see the top of the topic with voice/post counts and a form to reply. The entire content of the topic is missing.

I’ve been following the discussions here and I have none of the plug-ins that appear to be creating the conflicts. I’m not using s2member, SearchExclude, or Ravanassi plug-ins.

I am using the following plug-ins:

I’m running a premium theme (with expired memebrship -so no updates and no word from the original author whether the update would even cure the problem as the themes do not support bbpress) – however I can get in there and dig around the code, if needed.

Any help would be appreciated!

So far- I’ve rolled back to WP 3.9.2 – but, obviously this is not a viable long-term solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

L

[Robkk]

a thing you could do is hide the search button and add a placeholder so users know what it is, and also make it kind of like wordpress search in terms of looks.

copy form-search.php into your child theme and overwrite the code with this.

<?php

/**
 * Search 
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-search-form" action="<?php bbp_search_url(); ?>">
	<div>
		<label class="screen-reader-text hidden" for="bbp_search"><?php _e( 'Search for:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
		
		<input type="hidden" name="action" value="bbp-search-request" />
		<input placeholder="Search the forums" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_search_terms() ); ?>" name="bbp_search" id="bbp_search" />
	</div>
</form>

Please share!

bbPress really deserves a better GUI (also for mobile)!

Kind regards

[Robkk]

as it seems that everything has to be changed to make it responsive

not really bbpress is technically responsive , its just the tabled layout of the title , stats , and freshness needs a better look for mobile.

There seems to be a 10px padding on the left where the search button half hides under

well i fixed that by floating the whole search form left instead of right. but i dont know how to fix this at the moment, id have to fiddle around with your sites css in my browser to find whats causing it.

the forum table aligns there but there is a large space on the right which is where the sidebar that has diplay:none on iphone – so i suppose need to make the forum full page without sidebar in iphone view.

well normally themes have there sidebar display under their main content when it reaches a certain width. Check out and see if your theme is suppose to do this normally.

I also see there is more than one style sheet

bbpress.css is the main one you have to edit , (put it into child theme in a css folder, wp-content>yourtheme>css)

bbpress.min is the minified version

bbpress.rtl is the version of bbpress.css that users from area that read right to left use.
