I’m doing a fresh install of wordpress and have come to find that

– the current version of bbpress is not working with the current version(s) of buddypress
– I also found that WooCommerce isn’t working with the latest version of buddypress but I’ll post that on the buddypress site.

When I mean by not working, it’s causing my site to go blank.

If anyone has a solution, please advise and I will do likewise. Thank you.

Hi there,

Just installed bbpress on http://www.blogging4jobs.com/forum but I can’t see the topic I posted in our “Off-topic” category called “Introduce yourself!”

You are using bbPress 2.5.3-5249.
Wordpress 3.8.1

P.S. If you notice an Internal Server Error just refresh, we’re trying to troubleshoot why this issue keeps coming up. Thanks

Hi guys,

My knowledge of HTML and CSS is limited. I know enough to make the changes, but with so many options in bbpress.css, I get lost. I’m currently going through the bbpress.css file and not sure where to find the section to edit the border on the main forum page. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Also, where would I edit the font color of the topic names?

Thank you,
Storm

Hello, for security concerns on creation of my site I renamed my wp-content folder to something else. Now upon installation of BBpress I don’t see any of the options in the dashboard. It looks like in the plugin itself its coded to search for wp-content. Is there a way to override this so it can find it and function properly?

Thanks for help.

I followed the steps from http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/ to migrate from Buddypress to bbpress.
At step 6 (Repair bbPress 2 forum relationships) I can’t tick any box. Despite selecting one by one I the box remains blank…
Please help ?
WP 3.8 buddypress 1.9 and bbpress 2.5.3.

Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress, I’m using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

I’m not sure why but the root forum page and profile page is just showing plan text.

These two page show up with just flat text.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/users/admin

While these pages (forum and topic) actually show up with the tables and so.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/forum/gays-of-youtube/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/topic/hello/

Also how do I go about removing the blue status bar and the share and infobar at the bottom?

Hello,
I am new to bbpress and trying to set up a forum for my website. I have major difficukties with the right sidebar. With the help of older topics and posts I wasn’t able to get the bbpress-sidebar with bbpress tweaks going but with the plugin widget logic I finally had success (partially).
The problem I still have is, that the chosen widgets do show on the default forum index page, but do not show on any further bbpress pages (forum, topics, …)
Can you help?

The link to my (german) website is: http://brasilien2014fussballwm.de/forum/

Thanks!

Hi, I’m trying to add the widget.php into my Child Theme, so I can make an edit…However, any change I make to the widget.php within my child theme, does not work….Is there a specific location within the Child Theme that I need to place the file in?

Any help will be greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Actually that was naive of me, and I now have figured out the problem, but not the fix. Here is what actually happens:

I upload items to website also, but sometimes in future the same exact item may be in the update, I would then end up with domain-name/item domain-name/item2 domain-name/item3 These are duplicates, I simply delete all these by running this code:

DELETE bad_rows.*
from wp_posts as bad_rows
inner join (
select post_title, MIN(id) as min_id
from wp_posts
group by post_title
having count(*) > 1
) as good_rows on good_rows.post_title = bad_rows.post_title
and good_rows.min_id <> bad_rows.id;

This is what is deleting all the forum posts 100%, checked and tested it. The only thing is, I do need to run this. Is there a way to exclude in this code bbpress posts, or something?

Hello Community, I have bbpress install on my wordpress localhost site to test some functionalities. Currently i have contango theme installed. My problem is with the search result of the forum. Search the forum with topic titles i have created result in a different display. The search result display only the first blog content of a newly installed wordpress and nothing relating to forum search.

Why am I not getting the forum search results page? but rather gets the normal wordpress search results page?

I am not a programmer but fairly understand the technical details. Can any one help me.

Hello,

I’d like to create a forum where people are able to moderate their own topics (i.e the topics they created). I’m looking for 2 features (plugins ?) :
– let people delete messages in the topics they created
– let people ban another member from the topics they created (or make the topic invisible for a list of members)

Have you heard of anything like that with bbPress ?
Thanks a lot for answers.

You need to edit the file called tabbed-login.php found in the Tabbed Login Widget plugin not the Bbpress plugin.

Hello!

I’m trying to activate bbPress on my website, but it’s not activating. I already installed bbPress without any problem, but when I click ‘Activate’ in plugins, It’s showing a white screen with only the url. How to solute this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and the main links within the admin (Forums, Topics, Replies) have disappeared.

The forum itself is working properly, I can get to the edit screen for each existing post by going to the public side of the site and clicking “edit page”.

I tried refreshing permalinks & going into the bbPress settings and re-saving them.

I had a similar problem on another site with different custom post types, the fix was to set
‘public’ => true when registering the post type.

Could this be the problem here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Better hook it to bbp_new_reply_pre_set_terms here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/replies/functions.php#L371 and return the $words array after joining in the supplied $terms array. Similarly for topic.

I’d also suggest to have this at the very beginning:

if ( !bbp_allow_topic_tags() || !current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags' ) )
return $terms;

Hi bbpress Admin,

I am having a problem with the bbpress pagination.
Especially when I call the shortcode [bbp-topic-index].
The thing is it must be showing all the posts and yet when you click the 2/page 2 you are redirected to a 404 error.

I hope someone could help me.

Thanks.

Another issue:

If you turn off threaded replies, the ‘reply’ link still appears on the right side for each reply. If you click it, it reloads the whole page!

If you turn off threaded replies, the ‘reply’ link should be removed.

This is pretty much covered in (I think) https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2509

Okay as the title says I need a little help finishing a small bbPress plugin.

Right now it checks each topic content against the bbPress topic-tags created from the back-end ( only those are assigned not empty tags ) and if there are matches between the tags and content it echo’s those matches found.

The only deal-breaker here is how to add those matches found the $word Variable to each topic tags when you create a new topic or edit a topic fron the front-end.

I believe you have to work with those two actions:

add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',  'function_name', 10, 5 );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'function_name', 10, 5 );

But how do you make the connection to the database table or how it’s called.

This is the code I already made.
http://pastebin.com/d7ZEifNb

This Plugin was an idea because of this topic.

Opinion: Tags in bbPress, do you like it or frustration to maintain?

Some help from anybody who knows PHP and creating WP Plugins would be very cool.

Thanks..

Hello,

I have tried several plugins in order to enable sharing/ social media buttons on the individual Forum Posts such as this one: http://www.hereismyidea.com/forums/topic/tracking-my-workout-and-fitness-levels-in-gyms/ – but the sharing buttons never show up.

What plugins do you recommend that I install in order to display the sharing buttons in a decent location for the user to use? Thanks

WordPress 3.8.1 running Oenology theme.
bbPress 2.5.3
buddypress 1.9.1

Actually, just found out how to “fix” this … but not sure of the impact.

In file bbpress/includes/replies/template.php there’s two places –

Around line 174, I’ve remarked out the IF statement –

// Set posts_per_page value if replies are threaded
$replies_per_page = $r['posts_per_page'];
/*if ( true === $r['hierarchical'] ) {
	$r['posts_per_page'] = -1;
}*/

And around line 250, I’ve made the IF never be true just to try it out –

if ( true === $r['hierarchical'] & 1==2) {
	$walker      = new BBP_Walker_Reply;
	$total_pages = ceil( (int) $walker->get_number_of_root_elements( $bbp->reply_query->posts ) / (int) $replies_per_page );
} else {
	$total_pages = ceil( (int) $bbp->reply_query->found_posts / (int) $replies_per_page );

And that works. But what’s the impact of doing that beyond fixing what I wanted? Am I missing something?

[jslom]

I take it no one has done it with bbpress or has an idea what to do..

Guess I’ll switch to a different forum.
