I am also using Customizr and having the same problem plus some more. When I set the permalink to .forums it doesn’t matter what I write on the page the following strange text just shows (and no bbpress sidebar):

Forum

.
Search for: Välkommen! › Forum Forum Topics Posts Freshness 1. Grundutbildning 0 0 No Topics 2. Vidareutbildning 0 0 No Topics 3. Skoning 0 0 No Topics 4. Smide 0 0 No Topics 5. Hovsjukdomar 0 0 No Topics 6. Journalföring 0 0 No Topics 7. Övrigt 0 0 No Topics

If I change the permalink .forums to something else and write [bbp-forum-index] the forum shows up nicely but together with my default sidebar. I am using Instant WordPress to build my site locally and I know that there are some limits due to that, for instance I can’t write any posts in the forum. Maybe all these problems will be solved when going online?

this worked for me. i have WP 3.6 and plug in BBpress. in WP go to Settings>Permalinks i changed from “Default” to “Post name” and now my links are working fine.

[freshwater]

i have the same problem. i’ve used the EXACT same word/string “AIRE” for example in multiple category child levels. i’d guess this is the problem bbpress should internally modify to make category names unique (at give me an error message when i attempt to create a category child which name already exist (but in a different category/forum path).

Hello, I’ve added a plugin into my wordpress (phpScheduleIt)and its interfering with this plugin. It is coming up with a message saying

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_query_var() on a non-object in /home/guildfor/public_html/wp-includes/rewrite.php on line 47

Any idea how I can solve it?

I have the latest virsions of WordPress and bbPress.

Wordpress 3.6.1, bbPress 2.4, Buddypress1.8.1 Site is http://www.thedoctorwhoforum.com

I’m using the visual TinyMCE editor on my bbPress Forum pages and also on my normal WordPress blog pages.

Some users have issues with spans and other code being copied in when they paste. I have been able to stop the pasting issue on the blog comments with the following code which added the paste plugin to TinyMCE:

function myformatTinyMCE($in) {
	$in['plugins'] = 'inlinepopups, paste, wordpress, wplink, wpdialogs';
	$in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
	$in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
   return $in;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'myformatTinyMCE' );

However, it doesn’t affect TinyMCE on the Forums. They seem to be separate. I instigated the visual editor on the bbPress topics with the following code:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor($in) {
  $in['tinymce'] = true;
 return $in;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');

I’ve tried lots of different things, but I can’t seem to affect the bbPress TinyMCE the same way I can the blog TinyMCE.

For example, this didn’t work:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor($in) {
  $in['tinymce'] = true;
  $in['plugins'] = 'inlinepopups, paste, wordpress, wplink, wpdialogs, tabfocus';
  $in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
  $in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
 return $in;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');

Anybody any ideas how to add paste to the plugins and possibly add paste_text_sticky etc as well? I’m a bit new at this.

Thanks.

Problem solved when upgrading to latest WordPress (2.6.1) and bbPress (2.4). I have WPML too.

Great work , thanks.

[WordProSystems]

thank you!! that video was incredibly helpful!! i got my forum up and going, still trying to figure out how things work. I also downloaded the bbpress tweeks plugin you suggested. i cannot seem to get it to work though. what steps do i need to do to have the members log-in section in the sidebar?

[palmakan]

Thank you freewpress.

I went to line 1089 of style.css in wp-content/themes/picochic

It had the follow in

#content {
float: left;
#max-width: 67%;
max-width: 68%;
#margin-left: 15px;

I added the width in to make it this.

#content {
float: left;
width:68%
#max-width: 67%;
max-width: 68%;
#margin-left: 15px;

Yet it is still the same in bbpress Forums page (when you click forums from my main menu)

Any other ideas?

I have Genesis 2 and a responsive child theme. In my case, the forum index is working, but I, too, get this mysterious image thumbnail and cannot – for the life of me – figure out why it’s appearing. I looked at the code on the page and tracked down the image in my media library but have no idea where the instructions to display it on the page are coming from. If you ever figure it out, please let me know!
If it’s any help, the index appears to be using an ‘archive’ css of some kind. I am wondering if there was a setting at some time to have an image header that has since been deprecated in my theme but has resulted in errant code haunting me?

I want to create a custom landing page which displays my forums.

I have created a page with the bbPress shorcode [bbp-forum-index] which works fine.

However, the breadcrumb “forums” link goes to a different page which contains a load of text jibberish!

I changed the forums slug in the settings to my page (and updated the permalinks) but instead of the breadcrumb link going to the page with the shortcode, the page itself gets over-written by the text jibberish.

It actually looks like the bbPress sidebar is loading into the main content field, though i don’t know why or how to fix.

Page with shortcode > activenaturalist.org.uk/anforum/
Forums breadcrumb text jibberish > activenaturalist.org.uk/fmsforum/

If anyone thinks this post looks familiar it is because i posted about something similar in the past then went under siege from a Chinese bot, the website has only recently been allowed back up by my host.

WP 3.6.1
bbPress 2.4

[benjito]

I seem to have the opposite problem to everyone else and i can’t get the “bbPress WP Tweaks” forum sidebar to display instead of the default one. (yes i have reset permalinks, yes i have added widgets to the sidebar).

Every forum page continues to just show the default sidebar.

I am using the Customizr theme and suspect this may be the issue? Can anyone suggest anything else obvious i may be missing?

I also have a separate issue with the “forums” landing page which may be linked.

[jralston]

I need some assistance please. I have looked all over the web and I have not found any information on how to get breadcrumbs to appear for bbpress installation. All is working fine for me so far. I am using plugin-bbpress.php as my template. There is already <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> in that template but no breadcrumbs are appearing. Using the latest 2.4 bbpress plugin. Help?

[Xevo]

bbPress is just using WordPress’s custom post type function, so you can just use the standard loop that you use for Worpdress and edit it to only load the forums custom post type.

Hello there,

I am tearing my hair out to try and change the with of this forum block (area in white) on my site. It is far too small and want it to be wider.

http://khalsaspad.com/forums/

If one then clicks on “Traders talk forum” the width changes to a wider width.

If you then click on “Trading rules and motivation” it changes to a different width again.

How can I change the change the width of the area in white on all the forum blocks to be nice and wide?

I am using bbpress 2.4 and WordPress 3.61 with the picochic theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hello there!

There has feature of Page Attributes and we can choose [full width page (no sidebar) on Pages & Post. but cannot do it on BBpress Forum.

So How can I do it on the bbpress Forums?

thanks

[Xevo]

This is not loaded by bbPress, probably some other kind of plugin or theme doing this.

[Xevo]

If it is a paid plugin they should be offering faster support in my opinion.

I had the same problem with a plugin a while back too, unfortunately it’s not a problem that bbPress has to resolve. In my case I just rewrote the other plugin.

[Xevo]

You can edit the theme files and remove it from there.

Here’s more info about editing the bbPress theme files.

[Xevo]

You can find your answer here.

[meganode]

@tecca can you explain more in depth what i should do if i don’t have the bbPress.css in my theme? Copy which file and where do it put it in my theme files? thanks for helping – i’m new.

[BuckyOHare]

I figured out how to do this and more, unfortunately I have found little documentation about using the extras folder in the BBPress template files and how really wonderful they are for advanced customization without the use of additional hooks.

EXTRAS Folder located at:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras

To increase the amount of items you can customize in your bbpress theme, copy pages from out of here and paste them into the folder:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

In this case I needed to customize the individual topic page titles so I copied single-topic.php from out the extras folder pasted it into the bbpress folder. Then I opened up my theme’s page.php file and compared which style, entry-content, and container tags needed to be pasted into the single-topic.php page. I then exchanged bbp_topic_title() for bbp_forum_title() and styled it with my default WordPress styling tags and placed the topic title below it in a smaller more reasonable font than my site’s default .entry-title style.

The end result is the topic page displaying the forum name up at the top in the site-standard page styling with the topic title below it in a smaller reasonable font, as topics are generally WAY LONGER and should not be styled with the site’s main title styles by default.

I’m a administrator on my site and I can’t change my own role on bbPress forums, when I go to users > my profile in the dashboard there is no option to change my the role, but the option is present on all the other users, what’s wrong? running last version od bbpress, buddypress and wp.
disabling all the plugins changes nothing

[BuckyOHare]

The problem is topics tend to be much longer than forum names or general pages on my wordpress site and need to be styled differently than a default .entry-title css. I imagine this could be done with a filter or by altering a core file of bbpress. I don’t know how to create a specific filter for this job though.

If I can’t do that then I’d like to be able to at least not display the topic title on the topic page but I can’t seem to differentiate .entry-title css from any bbpress specific page title attributes and end up just altering all wordpress page titles in the process.

[tc2013]

Also FYI, I just downgraded to bbPress 2.3.2 and everything works great. Seems to be some kind of issue with 2.4.

[tc2013]

I have the exact same problem – WP 3.6.1, bbPress 2.4. Any edit or reply to topic loads the whole post html into the window. Also have tried deactivating all other plugins etc. with no results.

Can anyone help us with this issue? Pretty frustrated at this point..
