[Halo Diehard]

Finally got it sorted and was able to convert the phpbb3 forum into my local bbPress forum! I did indeed find an error involving the portal that was hitching me up on installing on my local server, but there is a possibility that I was making another mistake: I may have been telling the importer that the table prefix was phpbb3_ instead of phpbb_, since there are tables of both and I did not know that. I’m not sure if I was doing that or not.

So now do I export my bbPress tables from my local site using mysql and import them into my live site’s database?

[bbp-fan]

No, unfortunately not. 🙁 Also not with ! important.
Although these are exactly the two titles that I want to enlarge! The only that works is the solution with inherit, but that just increases all fonts in the forum and I do not want that. It also destroys the layout. I’m certainly not a CSS professional, but I have changed so much and it all worked. Why does this one not work?? I really do not understand what’s going on.

Is there any way to ask one of the bbpress-people?

[Peter Hardy-vanDoorn]

WP 3.7.1, BP 1.8.1, bbPress 3.4.1. Forum is within a Group.

I’ve recently been seeing Internal Server Errors when trying to make new forum posts and replies. After clicking the Submit button it takes about 40 seconds and then the error appears. Interestingly, the UTL in the address bar changes to that of a recent post.

I have checked the server logs and see these 2 lines:

[warn] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
[error] Premature end of script headers: index.php

This is a recent development and, to the best of my recollection, I haven’t changed anything.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Ok, open content-archive-forum.php

Sorry i understand what you want.. h1 title before id bbpress is made by wordpress, is title page, i think you find it in your page template!!

[squid1974]

Following is my loop-forums.php – I still don’t understand where the title is coming from…

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>

<ul id="forums-list-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" class="bbp-forums">

	<li class="bbp-header">

		<ul class="forum-titles">
			<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?> </li>
			<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php _e( 'Topics', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
			<li class="bbp-forum-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
			<li class="bbp-forum-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
		</ul>

	</li><!-- .bbp-header -->

	<li class="bbp-body">

		<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-forum' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

	</li><!-- .bbp-body -->

	<li class="bbp-footer">

		<div class="tr">
			<p class="td colspan4">&nbsp;</p>
		</div><!-- .tr -->

	</li><!-- .bbp-footer -->

</ul><!-- .forums-directory -->

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_loop' ); ?>

Not for this version.. for future version mybe.. I have made a function to rewrite title.. bbpress is not seo friendly for users… it generate duplicate pages!!

[squid1974]

Hi all,

I can’t find where the title output is coming from. I want to wrap it in a <h1>. In the default templates it starts with <div id="bbpress-forums"> and the title’s output is before that. But where is it coming from? I can’t find it.

[john_ggg]

Hi! You put in a great deal of efforts to this job! Well done!

[Lynq]

You would have to customise your theme to do so, but the data is there so you should be able to get something similar.

Have you got custom theme files for bbPress or are you using the bundled theme?

[P4p3Rc1iP]

I’m quite new to WP and don’t know anything about PHP, so please don’t mind me asking stupid questions…

Anyway, so I’ve installed the bbPress plugin, set up a forum, etc. and now I want users to be able to register and post. When users click the register button and fill in their details, they’re taken to domain.com/wp-login.php which displays just code.

When they refresh the page they get a login screen, but they’ve not received a password. Users are created and visible in the admin panel.

Do they not get an e-mail because the page wp-login.php page is broken or the other way around? Or is it something entirely different? I’ve searched around for a while but nothing that seems to answer my question.

Site: http://convoy-games.com/index.php/forums/

Don’t mind the theme/layout/colors. Wanted to get functionality before visuals.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

suggest you uninstall bbpress and then re-install it.

Come back if that doesn’t work

[Sculp]

Hi Robin, Nothing….

I just installed BBpress.
After installation, open the dashboard -> plugins -> BBpress settings or About (both not working)

Screen display: You don’t have permissions to access this page

Because of this error, I tried to install bbPress Admin Bar Addition 1.7.1.
It’s on the server now, but this program is also giving this same permission error…

Hello,
I’m trying to do the convert from mingle to bbpress. I found the post

Importing Mingle Forums into bbPress?

Which Stephen Edgar was assisting someone on and was able to get it to work. I put in the information to start the convert and got this error:

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘\”wp_forums_\”forum_forums AS forum_forums LIMIT 0, 100’ at line 1]

I’m not a database expert by any means and I don’t want to screw up anything. If anyone could help me with getting this done I would appreciate it very much. Mingle is slowing down my site and I need to get to something better.

Thank you,
Scott

I was also using a Child Theme of Woothemes Canvas Theme. In my case, it was resolved using the following (I found this solution in this site – http://www.pootlepress.co.uk/2013/06/65-tips-tricks-and-css-tweaks-for-woothemes-canvas/):

Fix for BBPress and Canvas (5.2 and higher)
———————————————

Matty Cohen from WooThemes provided the fix for this one 🙂

Add a file called “bbpress.php” into your child theme. This file can be downloaded here: https://gist.github.com/mattyza/1b01583441b11c8d04d0
Add the following code in the designated area of your “functions.php” file: https://gist.github.com/mattyza/f210cadb7f70188d513d

I’m having some issues with this plugin. Hopefully someone here can help.

I’ve installed on a local installation, using Instant WordPress.

I’ve read everything on here about this error and it’s all about ports but I do not know how to make a change to a) Instant WordPress or b) bbpress to fix the issue.

My error is ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

Yes. Yes I am.

Can anyone offer some insight? Explain it like I’m 5, because the existing answers do not seem to work for me.

I have the most recent versions of WordPress and bbpress installed. I can create forums and topics with the WordPress dashboard, but not replies. I cannot create forums, topics or replies using the plugin at all.

Thank you!

[bbp-fan]

I just found this old post:

Font (text) is so small, how can I fix it?

If you follow the link
http://hearthstone.no/forums/
then you will see what I want to change in my forum.

The first forum there is called: “Hearthstone Beta” = forum-title
I would like (for me) a larger font.

If you click the forum “Hearthstone Beta”, you come to the list of topics. Look for example Topic “turnering”. This is the topic-title, for which I also want a larger font.

But only for this two titles (forum-title und topic-title), not for the rest of the fonts like it is on this site.

[bbp-fan]

Hi Robin,
no, unfortunately, that also does not work. It changes the title in the blog, not the bbpress-forum.

It’s absolutely crazy.
I just made ​​some changes to the existing CSS in my child-theme to see if the css file is ever used. But EVERYTHING works. Only with these two bbp-titles (forums und topics) nothing works.
I’ve just tried the following:

. bbp-forum-header a.bbp-forum-permalink,
. bbp-topic-header a.bbp-topic-permalink,
. bbp-reply-header a.bbp-reply-permalink {
font-size: 18px;
}

Nothing happens.
But: Somewhere the size of this fonts must still be defined!! (???)

Apparently no one of the bbpress programmers reads here in the forum. Too bad. 🙁
I give up now.

Thank you, that you were so kind and patient!

[Sculp]

Dear All, I’m new here, and this may be a wrong topic.
But I have installed bbpress 2.4.1 and WP version 3.7.1
After installation I can’t open the bb-press settings, because it says:

Je hebt onvoldoende rechten voor toegang van deze pagina. (dutch language)
translation: You don’t have permissions to access this page.

But i’m administrator! What should i do?
Your prompt response will be appreciated.
Thxs!

[bbp-fan]

Hi Robin, thank you for your patience!

I have a child-theme in wp-content/themes/myTheme. Inside is MY style.css. Here I have copied all the passages from the bbpress.css that I wanted to change. It has always worked fine! Just changing the font size in the forum-title and the topic-title is ignored. Despite !important.

You also can check a topic-title in bbpress with Firebug. I did ​​it like this: highlight the topic-title, mouse-click (right) and then check by Firebug.

[Robin W]

ok, would be worth a double check with firebug as to which css is being used.

is it definitely bbpress.css? and on what directory are you using it (ie is it the default directory or a copy you have made, and if the latter which directory have you put it in?

[inthedistance]

Hi all,

I created a new WP site with a new bbPress install (all updated), and imported the .xml files for the forums, topics and replies, and successfully mapped them to existing users (also imported).

When I view the forums now, it says something like:
– (blue) This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by ** 6 months, 2 weeks ago.
– (yellow) Oh bother! No topics were found here!

When I create a new topic in the forums, it displays fine.

What do I need to do to get the old topics to display correctly?

Many thanks,
Matt

[Stephen Edgar]

That theme you are trying to install ‘Static-Blue-BB’ is for the old standalone version of bbPress and will not work with the current version of bbPress 2.x Plugin for WordPress.

bbPress now use’s your WordPress theme, i.e. your ‘main theme’, if you want to tweak the templates of your theme click the ‘themes’ link at the top of this page and follow the link there.

[Stephen Edgar]

Closing this topic as it relates to the old standalone bbPress v0.9/v1.2x version of bbPress.

None of this information is valid for the current bbPress v2.x Plugin for WordPress.
