Yeah that didn’t work because it only deals with bbPress’s internal breadcrumb plugin…. You can see exactly what I’m looking at on my site here.

I already have the breadcrumbs turned off completely for the bbPress internal bit. Just not sure why another plugin would render bbPress’s index page twice and no other pages.

[NovaSev]

Well – and this is cutting it down as simply as I can possibly make it – I want to add either bbPress user info to the WordPress user’s pages or wordpress user info to the bbPress user pages. I want to make it so anytime someone clicks on a name there is only one single profile page for that person through out the entire site instead of having one for my wordpress site and one for my bbpress forum area.

Having issue with our site pages and BBPress. We are using WP 3.8.1 and the latest version of BB Press.

email: theig072@gmail.com
site: http://www.fretbuzz.com
site password: test12

We want to customize our BB Press page (title, maybe input a button or two… who knows) BUT there is no actual BB Press page to customize? The forum seems to be automatically created upon install. Normally we can edit any page by selecting “edit page” at the top of the screen and in this case, there is no edit page button because the page doesn’t exist.
Following? So the logical next step is to create the page right? Well… when we go to the backend of WP in the admin dashboard -> Settings -> Forums -> we read (about halfway down this page) this text:

“Forum Root Slug – Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”

So we created a WP Page named forums. (http://www.fretbuzz.com/forums/) If this page is created then the forums appear until we edit anything. We cant select any option or input any text or the forums do not appear. So we deleted the page and the forums appear again. Then we created a separate WP page and labeled it test (http://www.fretbuzz.com/test/) and then moved the forum root slug to it, the forums again appear but If we again try to put any button shortcode or text or whatever in the page then nothing appears. So this begs the question…. What are the shortcodes BB Press talks about in the settings panel? How do we customize our BB Press Forums page?

End goal = Create an actual page that hold the forum roots on which we can add a button or two (with maybe some text). With an actual page as the root slug, I have access to turn on or off options as well such as “ratings” and “Author Bio”, which is quite annoying on the forums currently.

Our theme (DynamiX) has almost 9000 support members and this is what one of the support moderators said:

“Hi Tad,
I am not sure if this feature works correctly as I have tested it with DynamiX and the standard WP theme and they both have the same results. It must be a feature of BBPress that does not work properly.
Tom”

This cannot be so…. Any suggestions. Any help is highly coveted. 🙂

showing twice is the way bbpress likes doing it !

You can turn off the forums root slug in settings>forums

or play with this code

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Don’t know how the latter would work with your plugin

[Robin W]

start by looking at

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robin W]

If you’re ok with editing file, then the template file being used is

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

Create a new directory in your theme file called bbpress and copy this file to there.

bbpress will now use that file instead

You can then edit out the notify – starts around line 155

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out how to get a specific forum to be shown on a page and to keep users on that page.

I’m using the following shortcode:

[bbp-single-forum id=9232]

This does the job of showing the specific forum on the page, but it when a user posts a new topic or clicks on a topic to read it, it takes them to the bbPress page:

/forums/topic/test-topic

Is it possible to keep the user on that page throughout the process? I have different forums for separate members (using the Groups plugin), and would like to control who can see what from that single page.

Thanks 🙂

I’m having an issue when using Atahualpa theme, where user profiles are not displayed correctly, seemingly being shown as excerpts.

I have posted on the Atahualpa forum, where they acknowledge it is a theme issue, but cannot offer a solution.

Thanks, I’ve updated the codex, as I say it doesn’t like switching between visual and text, and alters the code if you do. Sop thanks again it should now read correctly

[Apokh]

Okay, one more try now 🙂

There is one thing I want do do, so I have 2 questions according to that:

1.) (how) is it possible (I guess it is) to get WP userdata for display in bbpress? Lets say the First Name of the WordPress User Information.
Must be something get_userdata( <strong>bbpressuser</strong>) ?!

2.) As I learned, the Userinfos (Avatar, Role etc) of the Reply must be somewhere in loop-single-topic.php – but I really don´t find it.

Thanks in advance. Hope someone can help with that for the german forums (i´m from germany) are really dead :/

Best regards
Apokh

It’s a nice site; no worries about the ad, but I would be curious to see what that code does to an out of the box version of bbPress. It should get it pretty close; I just use a lot of ‘Inspect Element’ clicking to figure out what might be broken and tweak it. The main issue with bbPress and Pinboard is to do with the .onecol format, which for some reason is broken. Just an FYI, I’ve also modified the header.php file and the search.php file in Pinboard to move their built-in slider up to the utmost top of the page, so I can use it as a banner. It doesn’t quite work on my forums page, because that’s actually in a sub-category but in the blog section it slides. Just to explain why that may look different.

One other thing of note: in building my site I did a multisite install with three different instances of Pinboard running different sections. This allows me to keep the (1) Board, (2) Blog/Gear Reviews/Podcasts/Videos, and (3) Photoblog separate. The photoblog has like 1700 images so I didn’t want those mixed in with general purpose posts, and in order to make the board work with the CSS tweaks above, I had to set it up as a multisite so I could configure the other sections differently, get away from a one column layout, etc. The good news is in a multi-site the user carries their logged in status and identity from section to section regardless of which blog they’re in.

Would a membership plugin assist?

If the each forum is protected by a different membership level, only “members” could see the member-specific forum.

The membership plugin I’m using protects bbPress Forum pages.

[Mycelus]

Hey guys, so I dont know whats happening, Ive looked around everywhere but cant find a server.

I transferred from Goldsboro Web hosting (local NC based host) to Fatcow today. All my plugins work fine, but when I install bbPress, it gives me 500 internal server error when trying to get into http://www.skyforgelabs.com/wp-admin (thats my site)

When I delete the bbPress folder via FTP, I can get into my admin panel just fine

When I install bbPress via the WordPress dashboard, it gives me the 500 error mentioned above and stops me from getting into wp-admin

My site is hosted on Fatcow, and my friends site is also. He faced the same issue and was unable to get it resolved.

Im using the latest stable version of WP and bbP

Someone please help me out here?

[Liberty]

I have made some changes with bbpress.php file but the editor still not working. Now I’m pretty sure that the bbpress.php file is not the problem. I have no idea what the problem could be. 🙁 😀

I’am using these files for my theme:

• index.php
• bbpress.php
• style.php
• functions.php

Could this information help to solve this problem? Do I need a page.php file?

[Lead As Love]

Hi @johnjamesjacoby . Would like to know why this was working with both pagination AND threaded replies before the most recent bbpress upgrade? We got spoiled by the awesome functionality. We had threading working and also pagination. Why did this change?

Also @johnjamesjacoby When I disable threading and allow pagination I have to go to the very last page of the topic to get the latest reply. This was also something I used to be able to control. Is there a way to get the most recent responses on the first page?

[ZachMatthews]

Sure, you can get pretty close just by mimicking my settings and dropping my custom CSS in.

Install the Pinboard Theme and the BBPress plug in, then in your admin page go to Appearances/Themes and choose Pinboard to modify.

Pinboard is built with an admin section for you to add custom CSS to, which is great since it essentially takes the place of having to go through and tweak the crap out of a child theme.

In the Appearance/Themes section, choose Theme Options, then in the tab at the top choose Layout. Set the layout for 2 Content columns, 2 Boxes Sidebar columns and 4 Footer columns, but keep in mind that out of the box BBPress is broken with Pinboard. However, I have a ton of CSS tweaks that fix BBPress on Pinboard, and you’ll want to cut and paste those in to the “Custom CSS” box at the bottom of the layout page. Once you implement those tweaks you should have a workable version of BBPress that you can further tweak.

That’s pretty outstanding, any suggestions for a new person to bbpress how to set up a style like that?

[chrismanson]

Hi all,

I’m very new to bbpress forum – had just installed the latest version but am having some layout/format issues with my forum (i.e. no space in between some words)

1) Title of latest topic is appearing in the “Freshness” column (beside the timestamp)
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/

2) When user click to view the list of topics in this forum, again, title of the latest topic appears at the top of the page (where breadcrumbs are supposed to be)
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/forum/ask-propertyelite8/

3) No space in between topic title and “ReplyTo” when user click to reply
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/topic/career-path/

Hope to receive some help from you gurus! Thanks!

[webbud65]

I’ve done it all.
It looks more like a problem with pagination or display limit because I have 101 forums regions and only 49 or 50 are displayed.
Perhaps a change in script on the forum bbpress loop or a hidden option in the settings panel?
What do you think?

[NovaSev]

Just tried using the $curauth params within the bbPress user-profile.php, didn’t work out so swell. Little lost on this one so any help would be appreciated. Even if I can do this in a reverse way – where the bbPress profile will link to the WP profile instead. Either way works for me.

I guess a simple question would be – the bbPress default template php files are located in the plugin directory … if those files were in the theme folder would bbPress pick them up that way?

[NovaSev]

I have a breadcrumb plugin, it’s all working quite well other then one thing:

With the bbPress forum it shows my “Forums” slug twice. Both link to the Forums index page, but it’s weird to have it double it’s self. Any ideas? I don’t have this issue with the plugin on anything else.

Using latest of WP and bbP – website is http://www.novasev.com

[NovaSev]

I’m trying to figure out a few things – I’ve done a search and read through a couple dozen or so items without much luck.

I’d like to incorporate some more info into the bbPress user profiles – I know I can probably do this using the $curauth params but want to make sure. I also want to make authors/contributors/etc link to the bbPress profiles as well. Is there a quick piece of code I can use to do this within my WordPress theme files?

I have this function to return an author profile page when the name is clicked on:

function new_comment_author_profile_link(){

    /* Get the comment author information */
    global $comment;
    $comment_ID = $comment->user_id;
    $author = get_comment_author( $comment_ID );
    $url    = get_comment_author_url( $comment_ID );

    /* Return the default WordPress comment author link if comment author is not
    a registered user */
    if ($comment_ID == 0){
        if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
            $return = $author;
        else
            $return = "<a href='$url' rel='' class='author-url'>$author</a>";
    } else {
    /* Return the link to the comment author's profile page if otherwise */
        $return = '<a href="'.home_url().'/?author='.$comment_ID.'">'.$author.'</a>';
    }

    return $return;
}

Can I plug in some line/piece of code to direct it to the bbPress profile instead? If so, what piece?

Wordpress & bbPress are latest versions – website is http://www.novasev.com
Appreciate the feedback.

It seems that I got the bbpress import from phpbb to work with all the topics and replies. The problem is that the users are imported wrong so the topics are credited to the wrong user. I went through other forums which said it was a WP United issue but I do not have this installed.

Please help. I see some suggestions of writing a MySQL query which I see are back from 2012 so they are not working for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks for doing this for bbPress as well. I hope we get some great feedback.

May I suggest that a more granular approach would yield better information? I’m thinking of something like:
http://www.wpsymposium.com/voting/

Or a uservoice type feedback system where people can suggest ideas and others vote on them.

While trac is great for measuring feature requests and bugs, it doesn’t measure intensity, immediacy and importance weights which users may attribute to individual features or bugs.
