Good news! 🙂

I have just found out that the web server to which I move, if I have my bbPress finished, PHP5.3 has running. So it is unnecessary for me to make changes. I install your plugin when I’m away from the test server. That’s ok.

Thanks for this plugin, Robin – und your great and kind support!!

I wonder if i could add a function that displays a topic starter label for any topic author in a topic.

It would be cool so that say 5 pages in a topic, you could always know who started the topic if they kept the conversation going.

I know the function would most likely be put in a theme functions.php but i wonder if it could go into loop-single-reply.php

I feel like the function would use the topic started by function, mainly get_topic_author

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

IT would be a nice feature to have

any help??

“Still working on the forums page and ultimately would like more control over the breadcrumb, like changing the Home URL, or removing Home alltogether, in which I’ve used another plugin to turn it into a dash.”

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

on the forum display, still think given that it says “continue reading” I suspect that your theme is treating this as a post, and just giving what it thinks is an ‘excerpt’.

Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 
 */

get_header(); ?>

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

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Trying let Bbpress’s permalink use /%post_id% .

[janfeng]

@robin-w I want to Bbpress’s permalink use /%post_id% ,

Like : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1532/

Not a : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-use-post_id-how

T_T…

[janfeng]

@robin-w Thank you for your reply.

I want Bbpress always use /%post_id%/, without affecting wordpress set (Because my wordpress set to /%postname%/).

My situation is quite similar with aisajib. So bbpress must be set to /% post_id% /, but wordpress unaffected.

Sorry for my English, I hope you can understand what i mean.

‘I have the theme setup running on two domains, the one i use for testing, the funny thing is when posting on that site, the first post of the thread is shown.’

This would tend to suggest that something is different or not set the same. Are both on remote servers, or is one on a local PC running wamp or mamp?

Not showing a topic is a common symptom, but with many different causes, so there is no one solution.

There are a number of things you can try.

Resetting permalinks – sometimes fixes – 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.

Repair Forums – Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forum and run one at a time.

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.

Let me know what works, I am using this plugin:

Thanks for your reply @Robin W 🙂

I got stuck at the first part, cause when trying to start a topic i noticed that the first post of the thread does not show. I can see many have this problem, but no solution for years, can this be true ?

I have the theme setup running on two domains, the one i use for testing, the funny thing is when posting on that site, the first post of the thread is shown.

I have tried resetting bbPress, but that didn’t help, any suggestions ?

I am using the latest version of WP and bbPress. While writing in a topic how can you add colors to text and align the text? I did not see them while editing.
Thank you.

First, not sure what’s the best way to proceed with updates at GitHub. Could you create a pull request, shall I fork your own repo or create a new branch, or simply update my own master ?

if I understand correctly is that I could choose the ‘Sun Dreesses’ forum to be the default forum selected when clicking ‘New Toipic’ from the WPS forums hopme page it will default to showing the ‘Sun Dresses’ forum as the destination for my topic unless I select another forum?

Yes, the form will default to that category in its dropdown list of categories. It’s of little use, and as you stress, we can ignore this. I was only clarifying forum vs. categories in WPS, and why we can drop callback_forum_type() in your update of the converter / importer.

I haven’t tried the WPS groups but I will create one and see what we can (or cannot) do with them.

I considered that the content could at least be imported, then the admin would do whatever he wants to with that content. But maybe the groups ownership and membership will be impossible to mimick at bbPress level solely, so it’s better to avoid importing rather than making public content that was private to begin with…?

I’m adding a Users section to your own version of the converter module (based on other converters available). If we want to import user-related settings, like forums/topics subscriptions and favorites, is this possible ? WPS uses usermeta, and I would assume bbPress does so…?

Your last comment about attachements and avatars is well noted, I’ll check what could be done outside of bbPress.

[janfeng]

Wordpress use /%postname%/ and Bbpress use /%post_id% , how ?

[tonytomov]

Hello,
I have a very old Simple:Press version – 4.3.1.
I want to migrate to bbPress, but not sure if this can be done.

Is this possible?
Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards

My forum page shows my forums correctly, but I want to make the column title say Tournaments instead of Forum. How do I make this change?

I’m using bbpress 2.5.3, wordpress 3.9.1

@jeremyers1 Have a look at your themes support site to seee if they support bbPress, if you cannot find any mention send them an email or post on their support forums.

[Stephen Edgar]

And also you module works with polylang. So for all who need Multilanguage forum bbpress and polylang is perfect solution.

Thanks for this, I’ll rember this for the next person who asks 🙂

I updated the bbpress.php file: https://gist.github.com/ntwb/1d884eb7bb889906285d

Thank you very much. You were right. Problem was my mistake “-” instead od “_”.

Thank you very much. I will make a donation, since your module is perfect and also your help was so prompt.

Update problem is fixed using Stephen’s original solution, lol.
I was using a mac text editor that was adding additional characters to the bbpress.php after I was saving. I edited it directly in the ftp program!!

[Stephen Edgar]

That is a little disappointing 🙁

If you look at the HybridCore 1.5.5 included with the Spine 2.0 theme there is full support for bbPress built into HybridCore and for whatever reason Spine is not taking advantage of that functionality.

I just downloaded Spine and tweaked the index.php and bbpress.php files so bbPress will work with your theme, I haven’t the time to fully test if ‘everything’ works but it looks like it does. Both files go in and replace any files of the same name in the root of your theme folder e.g. /wp-content/themes/spine.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/1d884eb7bb889906285d

You could also create a WordPress child theme to put them in which would be a little cleaner and save any pain during theme upgrades. I would expect themehybrid.com to have some tutorials on this so you can get some value for your $29 investment 😉

(Ignore some of the oddities you see in these pics,

All they told me was that the theme does not support bbpress and I’m out of luck : (

Hello,
To start with, I’m on bbPress 2.5.3 and WP 3.9.1
I currently display a list of topic titles (say 5) from a particular forum on my homepage using the bbPress Recent Topic widget that comes along with the installation.
I want to show the most recent topic from this forum and the first reply made to it on my homepage. Any thoughts or inputs will be helpful!

Thanks

I’ll try to take a look at this this week, there are a couple of ‘gotchas’ when running bbPress in WordPress Multisite. I’ll try to document said findings on the codex and create/update any tickets on Trac.
