Copy whatever template your theme uses for the full width template eg page-no-sidebar.php to bbpress.php in your themes folder 🙂

I’ve been using WordPress for a long time but I’m new to bbpress. I’m trying to figure how to add sidebar to my forum so that users can login or check out the latest posts from the forum. Hence I’ve decided to create a page with -forum slug so It won’t overlap default -forums slug of bbpress. I added the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to that page and edited. Everything was working fine until I clicked on any of the forums I created. It redirected me to a page with -forums slug and breadcrumbs was on the same direction, as if shortcode was just a decoy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very successful at altering bbpress files as I wanted. My question is about those slugs. Is there any way to override bbpress’ own page system and force it to use the page I inserted the forum code.

Thank you

I’m using WP 3.3.2 and bbPress 2.2.3.
I’m having the problem that the “link” button is not working when posting a new topic or reply.
Instead the screen is partially blacked out and increases in “blackness” when pressing the button more often.
Everything else is working great. Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks

Nice, and this bug https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2468 is also very annoying for working forums, the ux is terrible.

Hi Guys,

I am running on a clean install of WordPress 3.4.2, and am trying to use the BBPress forum plugin (version 2.5.2). However when trying to load the forum page from my site I get the following error.

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Post’ not found in /home/content/44/10795544/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php on line 375

I have spent ages googling, searching this forum, but I cant find any answer that help me.

Please can someone tell me how I can fix this error? It is preventing me from using BBpress.

Thanks
Panda

Thank you. I did finally figure this out, sort of, though there are very few instructions about this anywhere. I had some problems with it, so I am only about a 1/3 done. I started with importing the forums and the users which went ok.

But when I imported the topics, every topic came in with the wrong field entered for the associated Forum Name, they were random words from the content. I had to go through and re-associate all the topics with the proper forum by hand which took hours.

I want to use a new name for the forum, so I associated each topic with the new forum name. The topics are now all in the new forum, without replies which I haven’t imported yet, I can see them when I view the forum. But inside the dashboard the topics all appear to be still under the old forum name, not the new one. I think perhaps this must be what the forum repair tool will fix?

But I am not sure whether I should import the replies first and then use the repair tools or just make sure the topics are fixed now before I move on to importing the replies, I don’t know how bbPress associates the topics and replies together, are the replies going to look for the old forum name? At some point I want to delete the forum with the old name, but I want to make sure that I am not mistakenly corrupting anything. I really really don’t want to spend several days fixing the replies by hand.

I found the “empty the forum and get rid of everything” choice. So that will be a good backup plan if I mess this up.
my best

Hi Steven,

It sounds like you implemented something I’d like to have too for my bbPress forums.

Please let me know if you’re interested in helping me to implement this on my website.

Many thanks in advance for a speedy reply!

Cheers,
Thomas

The only fix in bbPress 2.5.2 is for BuddyPress notifications issues see #2495 for more details.

[John James Jacoby]

Use WordPress’s Importer. bbPress works just fine with it.

Hi,
I currently have a WordPress installation at website.com/blog/, and a bbPress forum at website.com/blog/forum. Ideally I’d like to have the forum at website.com/forum. Is this possible? I’ve tried a few different rewrites in my Apache site configuration but haven’t managed to get it working.

Best regards,
Sam

Hello, I’m also have this problem with my Forum Index Page. I’m using bbpress 2.5.1 and am using the Child Theme Configurator Plugin to make a child theme. But I still only get the bullet points without any formatting. Could you please help?

My site is: http://www.nippoz.com/forum-index-page/

[djneonc]

I am also having this issue. It just started and all of my admin profiles have the highest level of permission. I’m also running Buddy Press and Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP).If i can not resolve soon I will need to stop using BBPress. We have to launch soon.

Hii…I have read some posts regarding this, however I seem to get an error message when I attempt to upload an image. (An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.)

I am trying to add a Forum ICON to bbPress…I came across this article (http://www.kristarella.com/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/) — and it seems to work in the sense that it adds the option to include a “feature image” to my forum pages…however, when I attempt to upload an image I get an upload error each time.

Is anyone familar with adding a Forum ICON to bbPress??…any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

[Aqeart]

Thank you for this amazing addon.
I’m sorry but I really don’t know how to get this code working. I tried to copy-paste the first github file to my bbpress-functions.php, however my website got crashed due to a string error. Can you please explain a beginner like me how to do that from scratch?
Thanks!

I want to export a bbPress 2.5.1 forum from one WP installation to another WP installation on the same server into a currently installed bbPress 2.5.1 empty forum.

When I look at the import tools, I see that there is no selection for bbPress 2.5.1!

I am at a loss how to accomplish this, can anyone provide some help?
Thank you, Matoca

Hi…Hopefully someone can help me figure this out…i am fairly new, so please bare with me. 🙂

I have researched this heavily & come across a few topics – yet there has been mixed opinions on a solution….I am trying to figure out how to create different Forum Sections to my site…a perfect example of this is: http://loreschool.com/forums/ and http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/

By default, it seems BBPress only allows you to create (1) forum index…but, how can I create another section to split up the forum into categories – such as in those examples above?

I noticed a Ticket for this feature was created 15 months ago…but unfortunately it keeps getting bumped & not included into BBPress….this is such a common & familiar feature in popular forums, I am surpised it is not already part of BBPress..

Any help & response would be greatly appreciated…Thank you!

Hi Stephen – I wanted to come back and update this thread with a SOLVED notice – At the end of the day the solution was simple – don’t upgrade to Kunena 1.6 – upgrade to Kunena 1.7.2 instead!! I spent weeks looking for solutions but the fix took only a few minutes when I made the decision to skip multiple versions. bbpress is working with 7500 old posts seeding the new forum

Anyway for anyone else following who has the same issues – upgrade to a later version that is still capable of working with Joomla 1.5.

A huge thank you to Stephen for taking the time to work with me on getting this migration happening

Cheers

Ater installation yesterday no problem. I could see ‘forums’ in the left balk of WP (dashboardbalk). Today no longer.
I removed BBPres and installed again. Without any luck. It is stil not visible on the left site of WordPress.
Any idea?

Hey, I’m no expert in using bbpress and buddypress and so I’m facing some problems with integrating bbpress to my buddypress.
I already have a css for my buddypress group forums. Now my Question:
Is it possible to use this stylesheet for my bbpress forum? or are there other solutions?
I want my group forums to be displayed on ONE site but still separated. So each group should have its own “directory”.
Any Ideas?
