css is actually the easiest in my opinion

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

[gold1]

I added the shortcode [bbp-register] for a new register page but when I click on register I end up on a page saying:
Leave a Reply

and a button saying post comment. I have no idea what’s wrong…

bbPress Version 2.5.4
bbPress WP Tweaks Version 1.3.1
wordpress Version 3.9.1

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

bbPress permalinks by default is:

• /forums/topic/TOPIC_SLUG/
• /forums/forum/FORUM_SLUG/

How to replace topic- and forum- slugs to their ID’s?

• /forums/topic/TOPIC_ID/
• /forums/forum/FORUM_ID/

I need this because I have cyrillic letters in topic names (and slugs).

Current link:

http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/Пустая-страница-1?replies=3

After copy and send on Twitter, Facebook..:

http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/

I try fix it and write rewrite rule (and flush, yep).

add_rewrite_rule('^/forum/topic/(\d+)/?$','index.php?topic_id=$matches[1]','top');

But after visiting /forum/topic/814 (814 topic id is exists) redirect to home page happening.

#1 – ok if it worked with the twentytwelve theme, then we may still be able to help here, but try their support forum first, and if you don’t get help, come back and I’ll see what we can do. We can usually get you working with most themes !

#2 Don’t worry we all started not knowing, but as long as you are willing to learn and put a little effort in, we can help. So first of all we need to create a child theme to go with your parent theme. This will let you make changes without losing them on upgrades. Start by following this guide

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Then come back when you have a child theme, and I’ll explain further 🙂

[Kris35]

Can I ask, how do your members register on your WP BBPress website? Do they both come with this function?

Thanks.

[Robin W]

Guess i have done something wrong?

probably not !

Ok, we need to eliminate other plugins and your theme

Plugins

As a test, 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, test by switching to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

#1 is related to your theme I reckon. Try as a test switching to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it disappears. If it foes come back and we’ll try to help further.

#2 see https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

[Robin W]

Yes maybe plugin or theme

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and profile information 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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

come back and let us know the results

Use CSS to make bbpress look like your theme

[Robkk]

posting this because why not

If I understand it, it is supposed to be under other bbPress settings,

settings for the plugin are in the discussion settings

Hi

I’m looking to find a way to get email notifications sent out to participants following the moderation process.

I’m using the bbPress Moderation and the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugins.

My ideal would be that the moderators would be alerted when a post needing moderation arrives (which I can do through bbPress Moderation) and then for participants/subscribers etc. to be notified once the post has been moderated.

Is there a way that this can be done?

[lemonbars]

Hi all, I’m looking for a bbPress theme for Spin, but can’t seem to find any. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some ideas of what I would want to concentrate on if I wanted to make a bbPress theme look the same as the free WP theme Spin? Thank you!

[SharRakorR]

Hi, can please someone help me with Topics for Posts plugin and bbPress? I can’t see any settings or options regarding this. If I understand it, it is supposed to be under other bbPress settings, but nothing is here. Or is any other way how to change comments to bbpress topics? Thank you in advance.

[NickUdd]

Hi,

I have followed the guide http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ and have tried both method 1 and 2 ([bbp-forum-index]) but I only get some text on my forum start page http://sfithailand.se/forums/ (same on both methods)?

Permalink is set to post name

The actual post looks fine I think http://sfithailand.se/forums/topic/bra-hemsidor-for-foretagande-i-thailand/

But my forum url looks distorted even though the output looks ok? http://sfithailand.se/forums/forum/byrakrati-och-myndigheter/

Forum root is using slug /forums/ and forum slug is /forum/ Why do I need both?

Guess i have done something wrong?

1./ Lack of Support – check out this topic, not one reply as I waited for several days. In the end I had to do it myself on hope and lucky for me I puled it off. I hope this improves.

i saw this and had no idea what you were talking about, and i didnt have a correct answer, and since you solved it you could share so that people in the future that came across the same problem can find your topic and help themeselves in the future.

2./ Lack of dedicated Styles and themes.

envatos support forum theme-is actually a wordpress theme in whole on github, idk if copying templates will work because this relies on 5 other plugins also

https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte

I might make a better mobile responsive forum theme in the future and post it on github

here is how my theme kind of looks like , the bbpress theme i will post on github will be loosely based on this

My Forum Layout (in progress)

It was impossible to find anything like a normal forum from Invision, Vbulletin or PhpBB.

what would you like specifically like other forums??

[Robkk]

i use three of these ten plugins

[pfswss]

I’m curious to know what are the best or most favored plugins everyone uses?

[pfswss]

I was excited to find a wordpress forum that had good reviews and seemed the best solution after comparing a few.

I’m happy I was able to import my old PhpBB forum without much problems due to what I believe is an improved importer.

but I’m disappointed with 2 things:

1./ Lack of Support – check out this topic, not one reply as I waited for several days. In the end I had to do it myself on hope and lucky for me I puled it off. I hope this improves.

2./ Lack of dedicated Styles and themes. It was impossible to find anything like a normal forum from Invision, Vbulletin or PhpBB. There is nothing available that can make your forum look like those types of forums. There is one very basic template thing that does not do much but that is it from my many hours of research. Even the Themes section has nothing at all basically. I was expecting to find many dedicated BBPress themes. The good thing is most new themes will work with BBPress but they all look the same, simple with no organization etc.

Despite all this I am excited to have moved my PhpBB forum to wordpress and I can now make use of plugins etc.

I hope in the future BBPress improves these 2 issues.

[Robin W]

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Swedish_Soul]

I’m having major issues getting bbPress to work correctly.
Forums as well as forum topics do show up but replies to the same does not. Is this a known issue? I haven’t been able to find anything about this specifically.

I would like to incorporate custom avatars to my bbpress project, they have to be only uploadable by the admin, so users cannot upload, just pick from a set of them, And the admins have access to developer ones which no-one else but people on the highest roles can access, is there a plugin that allows me to do this?

An example of a site that does this is Bungie.net

[NewUser123]

I have setup up a forum (on localhost) using bbpress where users that register through buddypress can actively participate. I want to customize the information and add fields that would be displayed under the avatar when users post on forum topics.
How do I go about doing this?
Is there some kind of plug-in that would help?
Haven’t found much on my own any help would be highly appreciated!

[Doug Smith]

I am importing a large bbPress 1.2 forum into the current version. All is working well in my test run except everyone’s favorites are gone. Should favorites be imported or is that just not part of the importer? Thanks.

[Pavle123]

Hi guys,

Which plugin is the best for social login/registration for my BuddyPress and bbPress powered website?

I want to be able to allow members to login and new users to register fast with their social network accounts.

Seen a bunch of plugins, but want to know which plugin is light and works best with BuddyPress and bbPress.

Thanks.
