Stephen, one more question. I’m not sure if this is bbPress-related or WordPress’ fault or just my computer, but I’m getting a lot of “blank” pages whenever I try to access a blog post or forum topic and I have to reload before it shows up. Is this a known issue?

Most likely you have downloaded the 2.4.x branch as noted above as it is at 0% as there are translations waiting for approval.

Download the .po & .mo from the /dev branch

Rename and upload both bbpress-nl.po & bbpress-nl.mo to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

I have some code to show the sidebar based on what page it is, and it works fine for the pages, but no sidebar shows on any bbpress pages:

if (is_page(79) || is_child(79) || is_ancestor(79) || is_bbpress()){
dynamic_sidebar(‘memberbar-sidebar’);
}

I am using WordPress: 3.6.1
I am using bbPress: 2.4

When i try to “Activate” bbPress it errors throwing

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes)

The error happens on all Admin pages, The bytes vary from page-to-page. I can’t figure this out! I posted in the “Installation” forum but had no help.

Hope someone can answer me fast! Thanks.

Hi,

I already bought the theme for WordPress and i dont like the stayl of bbPress. I thought that the special theme forbbPress. Now i have some problems with CSS. I do not know how to adjust.If i made that change in CSS it would change all everywhere in web site not only bbPress page, unless i use !important selector. I’m not sure hot to do thet… I was looking som tutorials but still…

Specifics on CSS Specificity

When Using !important is The Right Choice

Yep, I ran all the repair options per Buddypress’s instructions. I ran them a second time after I discovered this issue. I created that test forum after that point, so I ran them again just now for fun. Still no change. 🙁

The only next steps I can think of are to hit that ominous “Reset bbPress” button or dig up my backups and just try again.

[husdom]

Both buddypress and bbpress installed…

Setting>Forums>Forum User Settings>Auto Role – set to participant

Settings>buddypress>settings>Profile Settings – Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

After someone registers they are registered with – Site Role – subscriber and no forum role is designated.

Mr. Fox

[husdom]

Both buddypress and bbpress are installed…

The topic replies (bbpress forum) used to be broken down into pages and now they are not. Due to the individual pages previously being present I believe that I have changed a setting or something and can not locate it now.

Settings>Forums>Topics and Replies Per Page – is set to 20 per page.

Unfortunately the img-Tag does not work. 🙁

I’ve made edits to the core bbpress files – then realized I need to copy the templates in order to not have those edits overwritten when I upgrade. Core files I edited are: archive-forum.php and single-forum.php in my themes folder.

1 – Will those 2 get overwritten?
2 – If so, when I copy in content-archive-forum.php, content-single-forum.php and content-archive-topic. They do not have any effect on the bbpress display. I thought copying those files into theme folder bbpress would look at those files first?

[Morgensonne]

Hi 🙂

I have a layout problem with the bbpress-login-widget. See the screenshot.

Where can I increase the distance, so that “username” (here in German: Benutzername) is displayed in full. So the last letters are not seen. I suspect in the CSS, but I can not find the relevant code.

Thanks a lot for your help!

P.S.:
Ohh, the link to my screenshot is not working……….. (?)
Any help for me?

[Stephen Edgar]

WordPress themes are what you use with bbPress v2.x plugin

[FreeWPress]

I think David want a theme only for bbpress and not for wordpress.. He want to customize a layout for example… Is correct?

[joyceswiss]

I deactivated all plugins except bbpress, then one by one activated them. After I had activated all of them, my forums miraculously decided to work again! Thanks so much though Stephen 🙂

<?php st_last_poster_block ( get_the_ID() ) ?>

This function not exist in bbpress, it’s home made? you must to search in your functions lists..

We must to open this function to change a little parameter to remove reply to….

[Halo Diehard]

Topic 333 was the last Topic to be posted that will import over, but several Posts made after that make it from the next day, from that topic and others.

Yeah, once you directed me into my phpadmin, I looked at the tables of those posts (had never done that before) and they all look exactly the same. It must be another table that’s throwing the bbPress importer off.

Edit: I just noticed they’re in a weird order:

331
333
—————————————
332
335
336
337

The two above the line will import over, nothing after will. Notice how “332” is under the line, even though it would fall in between Topics 331 and 333. Not sure if it’s a clue or if this is totally normal.

[Stephen Edgar]

Those links in your post are for the old bbPress v0.9/1.x

You want themes that support the bbPress 2.x plugin search the WordPress Themes:
https://wordpress.org/themes/search.php?q=bbpress

You will also find that many themes that don’t specifically mention bbPress will also work due the the theme compatability built into bbPress.

Find a great theme that you like at give it a go and see what you think, I expect you will be pleasantly surprised.

[Stephen Edgar]

Excellent, glad it got there eventually 🙂

[Nick Ottens]

I’m afraid the converter got stuck again. It did work – up to a point. I had to go about it very slowly though, converting 10 rows at a time and giving ample delay, so it took me several days to process. I’m quite sure that’s because of my host and not the converter. The converter seems to work. I’m extremely grateful for that. It was the oldest content I wanted to preserve anyway, so I’m glad that’s done.

Thanks again for your great help, Stephen!

[Stephen Edgar]

I can see all topics and replies just fine in the backend and in the database, though it’s confused me that posts seem to be saved in the wp_posts table, not wp_bb_posts. I also can’t figure out where the new forum gets saved, because it’s not in wp_bb_forums, nor do new topics appear in wp_bb_topics. Anyway, they appear in Buddypress activity streams, and I can edit them in the backend, so it seems they’re just not making it to the page.

This is correct, bbPress plugin 2.x no longer stores the data in the old BuddyPress DB tables, each type is a WordPress custom post type ‘forum’, ‘topic’ & ‘reply’ which you would see in the wp_posts table.

After the import did you run the repair tools?
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
If not (or even if you did) it would be a good idea to run each of these.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d suggest disabling all your other plugins to make sure there is no conflict:

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

That said I think it is more likely a theme issue, what happens if when using Twenty Eleven/Twenty Twelve/Twenty Thirteen themes? Does the issue still persist?

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t seen this behaviour before and I can’t think of a reason right this moment why it would do that, needless to say if you can reproduce this by doing what you outlined above create a ticket on Trac with these steps so we can easily reproduce the issue and we can take a closer look.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

Run each of these repair tools one by one:
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

• Recalculate the parent topic for each post
• Recalculate the parent forum for each post
• Recalculate private and hidden forums
• Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
• Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic

If this still does not fix the issue please cteate a ticket on Trac so we can look further into this.
