I’m reading a lot, some people say it’s possible with simple local avatars plugin and a hack. But, there is a way to make it clean? I want my users can upload their profile images from their bbpress profile area.

Thank you in advance.

WP 3.9.1, bbPress 2.5.3

In WP admin, there used to be tabs for forums, topics, etc., in the sidebar – but now they are all gone. This might coincide with recent update to WP 3.9 or 3.9.1

Also, I am unable to create topics in the frontend. Not sure if these two issues are linked, but they seem to have started happening around same time.

I don’t know what caused this so unable to provide steps to reproduce as yet.

Anyone seen this sort of thing happen before?

ok, try renaming your themes’s page file as per

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

Apologies, this should be fixed for the next release of bbPress:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2518

Solved:

In Windows bbPress was reporting $content_dir with double slashes // (ie: c:/www/wordpres//) so the content_dir was not being properly string replaced with the content_url()

Solution:
Line 168 & 237 of template-functions.php added this to correct for double slashes:
$content_dir = str_replace( ‘//’, ‘/’, $content_dir );

Thx for the info but how do i get it displayed on the frontpage not as a menu link but the same as bbpress.org. Is it displayed in a widget area? or …

[Robin W]

suggest its a plugin issue – seems to have been found before

first entry missing on single topic page // visible only for admin

and when coding a plugin recently I had exactly the same issue, but as I’m now old and brain going I cant remember how I fixed it, but I did!

It is related to filters applied to bbpress functions – it may be in bbp_has_replies, but somewhere if you mis-filter for replies only, then the resultant wp-query doesn’t have the topic post_id to display as it’s been filtered out.

Anyway one for the plugin author I’m afraid !

[Robin W]

I presume you mean the profile in the toolbar?

If so, I turn the toolbar off for all users apart from admin. It is ugly and takes away from your theme.

You can then put it as a menu item see

Turns out to be some kind of permission error. I see this in the Chrome console. Will look into it further.

Hello,

I’ve installed bbPress 2.5.3 onto WP 3.9.1 but am not seeing any css stylesheets loaded for bbPress. Even when switching to the Twentyfourteen theme the forums are completely unstyled.

Has anyone come across this issue? Looking at resources in the chrome console I can see that bbpress.css is not being loaded.

Actually, there is a link to the topic by default, in which case it’s the number in the top right corner of the reply.

Here on the bbPress support forum, it’s the time stamp to the left of the reply, underneath the user’s profile information.

Linking to replies, posts, etc. like it’s done here is fairly common practice throughout the web, although not at all intuitive in my opinion.

@landshark I wouldn’t say you were being ignored, we are all volunteers here and if and when people have the time to help others they do, myself included.

What is the BBCode for images on your SMF forum?

bbPress converts these default BBCode [img] to `<img src=”…”>
[img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img]
[img=http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif]
If you have any custom BBCodes this will not work and you could either fix this in your SMF forum before importing or if your comfortable with MySQL you could update these in your database directly.

1.: Move post count under rank (red arrow).

bbPress does include post counts at the moment, in bbPress 2.6 it will though.

You must be using a plugin for this or a custom theme with bbPress support.

2.: Move date of creating a post upside (blue arrow).

Same as above

3.: Translate “reply” – it is translated in language files but it is still in english. All other words are fully translated in my language. (red square).

This also could be an issue with any custom plugins or themes you are using.

Disable any plugins except bbPress and switch to a default theme eg Twenty Thirteen and let me know if you still see ‘reply’ as untranslated.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try making a single sidebar eg sidebar-bbpress.php and call that from your bbpress.php file and use bbPress conditionals

bbPress Conditional Tags

eg

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_single_topic() || bbp_is_single_reply() ) : ?>
...primary sidebar code here...
<?php else : ?>
...secondary sidebar code here...
<?php endif; ?>

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like ‘however’ all the things on your site are working it is making the topic ‘private’

The good thing is we will have this fixed for bbPress 2.6

Details are here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

WordPress: 3.9
bbPress: 2.5.3
User Access Manager: 1.2.5.0
Theme: Twenty Eleven (no mods)

I don’t know whether our use of UMA is relevant here. We have a group in UAM called “Panel” and all of those users have the “Forum Role” of “Participant”

I have set up a forum “panel Discussions” which is restricted to the members of “Panel”:-

and in it a topic “Panel **********************”:-

When I’m logged into WP I can see the forum and the topics:-

And the topic thread shows as I would expect:-

Users that aren’t logged in cannot see the “Panel Discussions” Forum as I would expect:-

And as expected another “Panel” member can see the “Panel Discussions” Forum:-

.. and the topics:-

However when they open the topic “Panel **********************”:-

The initial Topic intro is not visible.

Can anyone help please?

Hello,

I’ve created two sidebar widgets to use with bbpress forums (v. 2.5.3) — one for the landing page and the other for bbpress interior pages (forums, topics, etc.). I made a page called bbpress.php (copied from my index page) and have put that in my child theme. From that page I’m calling the bbpress sidebars I created.

The problem is that I can only call one of them — the secondary widget. The widget I created for the forum homepage (which is what I was assuming bbpress.php is) doesn’t appear when I call it (defaults to another sidebar I have set up on the website for page.php).

http://innovativeapprenticeship.org/community/

Does anyone know how to set up two sidebars for bbpress, and the template files from which I should call them?

Thanks, Cheryl

I know there is a search function in bbPress which allows forum wide search. I also tried “bbPress Search Widget”, it has more settings, but it’s also a forum wide search.

Is there any plugin allows me to create an individual forum search?

Thanks,
Darren

Hello.

I made some changes in localisation (via Codestyling Localization plugin) and suddenly disappeared all my BBPress widgets from administrator’s widget menu.

Please help.

Please, how to redirect all normal wordpress profiles to bbpress profiles?

Thanks

Unites States and it’s territories and then one for “international” to start with.. so I’m looking at 57ish. If I get lots of members outside of the US I would eventually split the international section up as well (I don’t necessarily foresee this). I’m looking into doing what I need with s2member conditionals now. I’ll have to have people choose their state, then generate different paypal buttons for each one so they’ll get a proper s2member conditional and then I’ll set up a forum page that uses shortcode conditionals to show them just the forum I want them to see. I’m not sure this will integrate perfectly with my bbpress/buddypress setup (I’m concerned about the activity pages and such) but we’ll see. I’ll definitely watch for updates to your plugin–it sounds perfect for when it’s got an unlimited number of groups.

[Stephen Edgar]

There is this plugin https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter/

Though it has an outstanding issue that makes it not currently working 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

The bbPress shortcodes are:

[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

I suspect some of your issues are more WordPress related rather than specificly bbPress

Have you tried copying and renaming your full width page template as per

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

[smashthegame]

Hi there,

I’ve started using your bbPress plugin for wordpress. I’ve followed every instruction I could find to disable the sidebar and have a full width page on the forums page. I’ve tried nearly everything including some css posted in another thread, using a full-width page template and commenting out get_sidebar() from every file in the extras folder.

Please help! I don’t want to have to delete my forum data and start all over again simply because I can’t get a sidebar to disappear. This should be a simple excercise.

Cheers
-STG

Within the default bbPress you cannot do this – forums are either visible or not depending on whether you’re logged in, and you cannot assign users to forums

However the following plugin allows you to assign users to one of up to 8 groups, and have multiple forums belonging to those groups, so should probably achieve what you want.
