When you say you copied the bbpress folder, can you detail which folder eg
bbpress/tempaltes/… etc.

Can you post the exact error message, and tell us what precisely you click to get that

eg I go into dashboard then click x, and then click y, andtehn I get “bbvbvbvb vbbvbvb error”

[inspirationally]

Admin side.
Theme side nothing happens (side is white…)

Something bad happens with my bbPress installation – first the revisions, now that 🙁

Hey guys, i would like to change my theme on bbpress, but everytime i follow the guides it doesnt seem to work.
I created a folder with my theme in wp-content/themes/*my theme*/and then copied the bbpress folder from the default folder into here as well.
but it keeps saying my template is missing in the themes section of my dashboard.

thanks guys, sorry I was out of town and could not reply, no I just wanted a redirect from the old structure to the new, we host on wpengine and the support desk there was able to figure it out for me, here is how they did it in case anyone else is running into a road block with this

[Robin W]

Sorry, but that’s not how bbPress works. it links the name with a user-id and the a user-id with a post.

My proposal is based on the hook mechanism proposed by WP and that bbPress use intensely, giving a lot of possibilities for (business) logic customisation. This is not related to the templates files in the theme, which are more related to the presentation (how the informations are displayed). Restricting the possibility to make a reply to the member of a group is a pure “business logic” requirement. You may find few explanations on how it works in the part 5 of the step by step documentation on this site.

You add the two functions in the functions.php file of your theme.
In the same file, add the following line, for instance after the two functions or at the end of the file:
add_filter (‘bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies’, my_bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies, 10);

This is the way you install filter under WP.

PS: you can replace the test: if (groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_mod ($user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) )

by this one, which is sufficient for your purpose:
if ( groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) ) return true;

The forums list display comes under the template

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

There are many hooks in this

Line 44 does the sub forum display

[Robin W]

Don’t think bbPress is designed to work that way.

[Robin W]

I use bbpress notify, but it would depend on quite who you want to inform and when

[Robin W]

Spam, or is there a real question here?

If so, can you explain what exactly what help you need related to bbPress.

“I needed to add the form, topic and forum manually [bbp-topic-index] [bbp-topic-form][bbp-forum-index] and have not found a manual solution for the login ([bbp-topic-login] didn’t work..))”

See the documentation for set up details including login in sidebar

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

and

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

for setting up menu and modal logins

As for your 404 error, I presume that the urls are correct, for instance

http://www.hightearecepten.nl/recipe/vijgencompote/

works with bbpress deactivated, but not when it is activated?

I’d check first whether there is a plugin conflict, and then a theme conflict viz ;

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

Check themes

If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

If it is Themeforest, I’d raise it with them, as it is a paid theme, and with over 1 million bbpress downloads they should have seen it, or know what to do. I have seen some comments that some themeforest themes do not support bbPress, but don’t know about this one.

Hi,
The menu options Forums, Topics and Replies appear on some of my sites in a multisite install, but not all.

If I change this in bbpress.php:

'show_ui' => current_user_can( 'bbp_topics_admin' ),

to

'show_ui' => current_user_can( 'manage_options' ),

I can see the Topics menu. Same if I change the permissions for the Forums and Replies menu.
Why should it be that the Forums, Topics and Replies menus are showing in some of my sites, but not others? I am administrator and keyholder in all of my sites.

I am using WordPress 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.9.1 and I’ve set up bbPress for Sitewide and Group forums.

[Elbrich]

After I have installed bbpress,

(which didn’t work directly
I needed to add the form, topic and forum manually [bbp-topic-index] [bbp-topic-form][bbp-forum-index] and have not found a manual soluation for the login ([bbp-topic-login] didn’t work..))

But anyway even having found solutions for that, the error:
404 Not Found
Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

occurs at other pages in my website. I use the FoodRecipes theme from themeforest. Maybe it has to do something with the theme lay-out? It only happens when I’m visiting the recipe link.

my website is http://www.hightearecepten.nl

I leave the forum for a day, I hope anyone can help me, otherwise I change it back to without a forum. Thanx

Thanx for the help!
Elly

Hello,

I would like to display on the front-end (over forum list on bbpress root page) the forum’s description (see here: http://i.imgur.com/o3c5iA1.png … to see what i’m speaking about).

I know there is a hook to put some content in this area “bbp_template_before_forums_index” but is there a function or a shortcode to get the forum’s description (http://i.imgur.com/o3c5iA1.png) ?

Thx

[stl99]

That’s great news dtbaker, this will be a great addition to bbPress!

Maybe a feature to select the “Best answer” or “Our Answer” (for admins) to display it on top of all replies (similar to a sticky post) would be a nice feature too?!

Cheers,
Thomas

I couldn’t find a working (simple) voting system for bbpress so I rolled my own:

Feature Requests

If it continues to work over the coming weeks I’ll clean up the code and share it.

Hi,
I use BP 1.9.2 and bbPress 2.5.3.
FOr work we use the forums in BuddyPress groups.
Our menbres should be informed automatically for each new topic or reply
FOr me it should be a “php function” bbPress or budypress
Do you know of a plugin (or a function php to add)
A+

[Stephen Edgar]

To achieve this you would just make an alternate CSS stylesheet based of the main bbPress stylesheet and enqueue it as part of your theme.

You’d simply use display: none for the bits you don’t need.

<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbpress-print-css" href="http://example.com/bbpress-print-css.css" type="text/css" media="print">

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.6 is also focusing on performance issues that we have found and will improve it’s performance, personally I don’t find it very slow at all, look at this site for a perfect example, that said we have found a few tweaks.

[Stephen Edgar]

See this thread on how one user did it for SimplePress:

bbPress SimplePress 5 Importer

Also a search with a few of these keyowrds: mod_rewrite, phpbb or vbulletin at Stack Overflow will give you some good examples to go by: http://stackoverflow.com/

[Robin W]

Great, glad you’re fixed, and I learnt some more about how bbpress works along the way, so was a good challenge !

[mshane8]

Hi Robin –

I am too far along. That is not an option.

Do you know where bbPress places the database tables. What is the default table prefix?

I am not sure why this is so complex. I have imported through WP/Dashboard/Tools/Import – Forums, Topics and Replies individually through xml files.

I have a static page that calls the forum index using the shortcode : [bbp-forum-index]

This page displays OK. It will show the # of topics but when I click on the forum itself it opens up the forum but shows 0 topics. All the topics, forums and replies are in the WP Dashboard assigned to the proper author.

[Robin W]

hmmm… not sure you’re going to achieve this without some major coding and probably wordpress rather than bbpress related for sign in part.

maybe try

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

You can post a ‘project’ on there and someone will offer to do it for you

Something is wrong when you try to use child theme.
I am using child theme of Buddypress default theme. I have:
plugin-bbpress.php in both folders (parent and child)
bbpress.php in both folders
and still I don’t have correct template.

I have id=”content” and id=”content-wide” in my theme, depends do I have 1 or 2 sidebars on that page. I’ve searched&replaced id=”content” in my child theme with id=”content-wide” and still on page there is id=”content”. I am guessing it loads some template from parent folder somehow.

Somebody has any idea what’s a problem here?

Thanks
