@tonydes child theme

you put it either one i guess,

i copy most of my code into my custom css editor in my theme because it works automatically for me

but if i have to put the code into my bbpress.css in my child theme , i have to add !important alot

[Indrekkor]

So the post appears in “Activity”, but not in other views ? (general forum view etc.)

This is probably not a bbPress problem, but it is caused by a plugin you use for cacheing.

You could always turn-off whatever plugins you are using (not neeed for forum to lose functionality) and then see if everything is OK.

ok, so what happens at the moment is that the bbpress.php calls the footer.php at the bottom of it.

The footer in turn calls the sidebar (this is an annoying habit that theme developers have started doing, sidebars should be called in theme pages not in footers aggghhh!).

so what we’ll do in bbpress.php is simply take out the call to the footer, and put the footer code minus the sidebar into the bbpress.php

so in bbpress.php remove the line which says

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

Then put this code in it’s place

</div><!– .content-wrap –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_main’ ); // oxygen_close_main ?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_main’ ); // oxygen_after_main ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_footer’ ); // oxygen_before_footer ?>

<div id=”footer”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_footer’ ); // oxygen_open_footer ?>

<div id=”footer-content” class=”footer-content”>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘footer_content’, hybrid_get_setting( ‘footer_insert’ ) ); ?>

</div>

<?php get_template_part( ‘menu’, ‘subsidiary’ ); // Loads the menu-subsidiary.php template. ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘footer’ ); // oxygen_footer ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_footer’ ); // oxygen_close_footer ?>

</div><!– #footer –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_footer’ ); // oxygen_after_footer ?>

</div><!– .wrap –>

</div><!– #container –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_body’ ); // oxygen_close_body ?>

<?php wp_footer(); // wp_footer ?>

</body>
 </html>

Come back with what that does !

heres is a straight link to where you need to be, but reading the whole page isnt bad too

[Robin W]

ok, could be a number of issues

start with theme and plugin as 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 look at the documentation to see what else you might need to do

Hi!

I installed the BBpress plugin to my wordpress site http://www.wacky.no

I added a new forum (unable to see categories..maybe thats the problem?)
I added a new topic..

But when i save – and visit forum its only a black screen http://www.wacky.no/forums/forum/wacky-forum/

What do i do wrong?

[dice2dice]

I found a better solution that the one I was using whilst searching the BBPress Plugin forums. ‘bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab’ – works much better, though I can’t get it to upload images at present, but atleast there are other image embeding options for bbPress.

[dice2dice]

Sorry @netweb, I discovered your reply only this evening.

I followed the above instruction but it hasn’t resolved my issue.

Until a couple of months back, as soon as a member posted in a forum on my site they could see their post. Now they can’t unless they go to their profile and click on ‘Activity’.

The posts eventually appear but take so long that it completely stops the fluidity of conversations.

Has anyone else come across this issue and does anyone have any suggestions for how it might be resolved?

I have the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress. My website is http://www.whichinvest.com

Thanks

[dice2dice]

Hi,

The editing tools I have available to members of my site are the same on this forum, with ‘b-quote’, close tags etc.

These are confusing for members who are not technically minded.

Is there a better solution that perhaps looks more similar to Microsoft Word icons or something else that is easy to use?

I am trying to implement a search box inside a Buddypress group that searches on the contents of the Group Forum. I found some helpful instructions here

Basically, I pasted the following code outside the loop in the “content-single-forum.php” file. (Of course this was done to a copy of the bbpress file which I imported into my theme’s bbpress folder):

<h3>Search Forum</h3>
<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-searchform" action="">
<label for="ts">Search the support forum topics</label>
<input type="text" name="ts" id="ts" value="<?php echo ( isset( $_REQUEST['ts'] ) ) ? $_REQUEST['ts'] : ''; ?>" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

This code however, performs search only on the topics and not the replies.

Can someone suggest appropriate modifications to the code so that it searches on both topics and replies rather than just the topics.

Many thanks!

[Robin W]

it’s not taking

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
 display:none ;

}

try

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
 display:none !important;

}

[aussiestar14]

I changed
<div class=”bbpress-wrap”>
<div id=”bbpress-content”>

in my bbpress.php and added

.bbpress-wrap {
width : 100% ;
}
#bbpress-content {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 30px;
width : 100% ;
}

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
display:none ;

}
to my style.css

but still have the right sidebar below -.-
What did i do wrong?

[joejozwowski]

I’ve had a number of my users complain about this, so I would like to change it so that it redirects back to where you logged in. but I have no idea where to start.

I’m using the bbPress Login Widget in the sidebar for people to log in and out of their account

[Robin W]

What can I change to eliminate the sidebar remnants that remain?

The code in your style.css was supposed to do that ie

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
 display:none ; 

}

I cannot see the other sidebar on your site – have you cleared your cache/refreshed your browser, and if you can still see it tell me which browser (eg IE, Chrome etc.) and give me a specific url

We should be able to crack this one 🙂

[watstyl08]

OK!

I tried this, and I think we’re getting extremely close 🙂

Note that you also have to remove this code from your bbpress.php file

<div class="aside">
		
		<?php get_sidebar( 'primary' ); // Loads the sidebar-primary.php template. ?>

The only problem with my Forum now is that the “right” sidebar still shows up, albeit below the full-page forum. Check it out here –> http://www.ibeacon.com/forums/forum/ibeacon-com-forums/

This is my code for the full-page template

‘get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

</div>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_content’ ); // oxygen_before_content ?>

<div class=”bbpress-wrap”>

<div id=”bbpress-content”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_content’ ); // oxygen_open_content ?>

<div class=”hfeed”>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_entry’ ); // oxygen_before_entry ?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” class=”<?php hybrid_entry_class(); ?>”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_entry’ ); // oxygen_open_entry ?>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘entry_title’, ‘[entry-title permalink=”0″]’ ); ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php the_content( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘oxygen’ ) ); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<p class=”page-links”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘oxygen’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</p>’ ) ); ?>

</div><!– .entry-content –>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘entry_meta’, ‘<div class=”entry-meta”>[entry-edit-link]</div>’ ); ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_entry’ ); // oxygen_close_entry ?>

</div><!– .hentry –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_entry’ ); // oxygen_after_entry ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_singular’ ); // oxygen_after_singular ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!– .hfeed –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_content’ ); // oxygen_close_content ?>

</div><!– #content –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_content’ ); // oxygen_after_content ?>

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>`

What can I change to eliminate the sidebar remnants that remain?

[Robin W]

sorry, sorry – missed that bit 🙂

Ok will start typing again !

in your bbpress.php

change the lines that say

<div class=”content-wrap”> 
<div id=”content”>

to

<div class=”bbpress-wrap”> 
<div id=”bbpress-content”>

Then go into

wp-content/themes/oxygen/style.css

and at the end of this file put

.bbpress-wrap {
width : 100% ;
}
#bbpress-content {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 30px;
width : 100% ;
}

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
display:none ;

}

What this does is get bbpress to use the bbpress-wrap with a width of 100% instead of content-wrap, as content-wrap is used by the other pages and need to be 67%.

Then .bbpress #sidebar-secondary is set to display none, so that this disappears

Now if that all works, it is possible that an upgrade of oxygen will take out these changes, so you really need to create a child theme and put both the bbpress.php and the style.css changes in there. See

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Do come back if that deosn’t all work, without the theme I can’t test here !

I have just had a quick look at this and with a fresh WordPress 3.9.1 install and bbPress 2.5.4 with define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); I cannot see an issue, everything works as expected using both WordPress’ ‘Lost Password’ (https://example.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) or using the bbPress shortcode [bbp-lost-pass] on a page.

I also went through using the bbPress login widget with custom pages for ‘lost-password’ and ‘register’ using both http:// and https:// as the URL’s in the Widget and again everything worked as expected.

I’d any other plugins you may be using that change any of WordPress’ login/authentication to narrow down the issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is not a bbPress or even WordPress issue 😉

“Whatever” plugin you have to control access will be what it is, just start deactivating all your plugins one by one until you can access the site 🙂

WordPress 3.9.1 running a slightly modified Twenty Ten

The EcoPsi Journal & Forums
http://ecopsi.org/journal/

I was up working at around 4am and saw a checkbox for locking the site down and now I can’t remember where that was. I don’t actually even remember if it was even in bbPress although I don’t remember WordPress having that feature but that may be because I’ve never thought of looking for that feature. Anyway, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me the most likely place to open my blog and form to the public. Right now you can only see the landing page and have to register if you want to see more of the site.

[kopperwoman]

I’m having a similar problem to dustinarmstrong. But its not exactly the same.

I’m trying to fix a broken forum set up for a client. I did not do the forum installation (he did it himself) AND the forum is installed on a live site that gets lots of web traffic so I don’t want to do anything that might impact the website overall.

Here’s my situation:
1) BBPress was installed (I don’t have details about when and how),
2) a page was created with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on it
3) the forum didn’t work, so my client contacted me to fix it
4) I went into settings > forums and changed the forum root slug from the default “forum” to “travel-forums” (the name of the page where the shortcode lives. The error message “Possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug” showed up next to the slug field after saving the settings.
5) I also changed the single forum slug from the default “forum” to “travel-forums”. The error message “Possible bbPress conflict: Forums base” showed up next to the slug field after saving.

In my case, the forum page DOES show up at http://foobar.com/travel-forums but it is empty except for the welcome text that I had entered into the forum main window. (So it just says “Welcome to our forum” without any of the discussion topics showing up.

Also, I have the “Recent Topics” widget enabled on my sidebar and my three test discussion topics DO show up there. When I click on any of them they take me to the correct URL but the pages are blank. So, for example, when I click on “test topic” in the widget I land on http://foobar.com/travel-forums/topic/test-topic/ and the page displays the topic header “Test topic” and the topic question “what do you think about travel?” but it doesn’t display any of the posts.

I’m not sure if this behavior is related to the slug conflict error messages or if something else is wrong.

I’m trying to follow the advice that Stephen Edgar gave.

First up, I think this is probably true in my case:

most likely you have something else either titled or using the slug discuss and this includes any items in trash as even though they are in the trash they still reserve that slug and it is not released until the item is removed from the trash.

This is probably a stupid question but How do I empty the trash to make sure that the old slug is removed?

Second, I’d like to try this:

To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

but since my website is live and has been for a long time (and has lots of blog posts using the custom structure already) I’m concerned that this could permanently break the existing links. Any thoughts on this?

[Stephen Edgar]

There are the two cases:

1. If you enter a ‘moderated keyboard’ that is included in the ‘Comment Moderation’ section of WordPress’ Discussion settings then the topic or reply will be marked as pending (See screenshots below). Currently no notification template is displayed that will notify the user that there topic or reply is waiting in the moderation queue, this will be fixed in bbPress 2.6

2. If you enter a ‘moderated keyboard’ that is included in the ‘Comment Blacklist’ the topic or reply will NOT be created and a generic message is displayed “Your topic cannot be created at this time.”

[rzelnik]

@wplove3268, I know that this is out of scope of the bbPress project, but IMHO the sender address should be configurable within the WordPress core. The current impossibility to change the sender address doesn’t make sense to me.

Anyway, maybe this article will help you:

I have the Reply Threading checked and it is not working. It seemed to work right at first but when I erased some nested posts for testing the functionality didn’t come back. In addition I can start a whole new topic and the replies do not nest.

I have switched themes to Twenty Fourteen and that did not fix the issue.
