bbpress != wordpress

If your a programmer, you should read up on the codex, if not I do not recommend to do this yourself. I would recommend rehiring the designer/programmer (if he has the necessary knowledge).

This has almost nothing to do with bbPress, as it uses the info from wordpress.

Here’s a page about it.

Hello,
I am having issues getting the BBpress forum to display in any sensible manner
At one point i made a category and used it as a page, this at least looked reasonable but didn’t allow for sections to be created. I am currently using the shortcode “[bbp-forum-index]” and now the catagoriess seems to show the sub forums. but they are all bunched together with a (0,0) next to each of them
Is there a way to split this up or create a proper forum layout?
my forum page: http://watracing.com/?page_id=132

I am new to BBpress

I get this issue because the BBP Threaded Replies plugin automatically de-activates the Fancy Editor.

bbPress Threaded Replies is incompatible with the Fancy Editor; enabling threading will automatically disable the Fancy Editor.

I’m not sure why they did that, but I was able to get around it by adding remove_filter('bbp_use_wp_editor', '__return_false'); to my theme’s functions.php file.

[mjjinvincible]

I just put this filter inside bbpress-functions.php, but it seems not to be executing the function… could you please help me? I’m stuck…

add_filter('bbp_plugin_dir_url', '_bbp_plugin_dir_url');
function _bbp_plugin_dir_url($plugin_dir_url) {
	return str_replace("/home/content/12345/html/content/plugins", "", $plugin_dir_url);
}

Thank you!

[knsheely]

I am also having this issue. I assume it has to do with this option being ‘disabled’ as mentioned in the plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab.

I tried installing that plugin and enabling but the editor still doesn’t show up. Anyone have any information about this?

I am currently using Simple:press and want to convert to bbPress. I have both installed on my WP, and I downloaded simplepress.php and uploaded it onto my server in the file/directory suggested from this site (wpcontent/etc)

I followed these instructions: http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

And when I hit “start’, I get this:

“Repair any missing information: Continue

Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
Starting Conversion”

(Obviously in reverse order).

WHat am I doing wrong? I have the updated versions of both forums and of WP (3.6).

Hi,

I’ve added the Dutch translation (po and mo files) for bbPress. However on my forum page the search box is still in English (Search…). This should be in Dutch as well (Zoeken…).
Can anyone help me please?

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi there,

I have bbPress installed and am using a custom theme, and my search fields are not working. When I search for text, the page grinds for about 30 seconds, then returns hundreds of boxes that say “Apologies, but no post could be found matching your criteria. Perhaps searching will help.”

See screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4962474/forumsearcherror.JPG

I have scoured the forums looking for this issue but can’t seem to find any results. Assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We are starting a private forum, only for employees
of our company.

BBpress has been translated (to Polish) and with most of sentences
translation is working just fine but there are some words/sentences
that still appear on the site in English.
It all seems fine in language files.

Any idea?

Hi.
Somehow I managed to make my submit button disappear, while adjusting my child theme. Now it’s not possible to create a new topic nor reply to existing topics. You can submit by hitting return, but of course this is not very handy.

If I change to the parent theme the button is visible. But surely, I want to keep my child theme.
I’ve gone through all the adjusted css and it doesn’t seem as if any buttons has been set to “display:none”.

Can someone please tell me how I get my submit button back?

You can view the test forum here

I’m using WordPress 3.6 and bbpress Version 2.3.2
My child theme is based on Magazine Basic

Hi,

I’ve been trying to update the format of the last update text on my forums. so instead of saying ’20 hours, 45 minutes ago’ it would just say either ‘1 day’ or ’20 hours’ or ’45 mins’ depending on what is the most relevant.

I’ve searched extensively but been unable to find the answer. I did find this link but the info seems terrible old and I was unable to the ‘front-page.php’ file mentioned. Maybe this was in an older version of bbp[ress?

Any help greatly appreciated.

[aeiou12345]

same me. I want to plugin support “Next/Prev Topics in bbpress plugin in for wordpress”. Please.

[SickSquirrelTwo]

WordPress with bbPress. Just got this post:

Clicking the link to go to page 2 of the General Discussion forum or the Introduce Yourself forum directs one to page 2 of the Favorite Cuisine thread (which actually has no posts).

So I went to check, and he’s part-right. General Discussion is fine but Introduce Yourself takes me to another forum but not the one he landed on. I tried five times and always the same one came up.

(I left, tried again and realized the topic it goes to is up on page one in the first ten posts. Page two should bring up the eleventh post).

I checked the topic I landed on and all settings are fine in the admin area.

(I won’t post the URL as it isn’t for all ages) but any idea what could be wrong?

BBpress 1.2 doesn’t install. I download it from the legacy page, upload, but when it starts installing it reports a lot of missing files. It is searching for files that are present in bbpress 0.9. Can you link a download that has not this error?

[Bencuri]

How can I load XML backup to bbpress 0.9?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

… or words to that effect. I had it and another error.I panicked but could not log in here to post (the “lost password” link never showed up) so Googled the error; it brought me back here! But I read the first thread in the search results and it ed me to a plugin conflict with Spam Destroyer. Deactivated it and viola! People have been telling me for weeks that they posted but I could not find anything.

I’m used to phpBB and the “new posts” button. I had to go through more than two dozen topics in the sidebar to look for new posts. This feature would be nice for those using bbPress and WordPress.

This is a thank you for the help and a suggestion

Hi,

I am currently looking into an issue, for which I didnt find any solution:

Since I am using the WordPress backend for profile editing, i dont want to give the user any access to the build in bbpress profile page. How can I disable this? I think the easiest way is to disable the link from the user name, but if you have a better idea i will be glad to hear it 🙂

Any input is much appreciated!!

So on reddit.com there is this nice thing where posts that are links lead you out of the site, while text, video, and image posts can all be viewed right on the homepage.

For those not familiar, here is a photo of it…

See the little “Aa” box and the other little camera icon box? Those can be clicked to expand the text and image content, respectively.

Couldn’t something like this be achieved with custom post types for BBPress? Anyone know of a capable plugin?

[SidianMSJones]

Always great to see more improvements. Thank you team.

[jameswordpress]

I solved this after a quick search of the code. I updated the following file:

/bbpress/includes/forums/template-tags.php

updating the line:

‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 50 ),

to:

‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 64 ),

[jameswordpress]

Hi there,

I’ve just installed bbpress 2.3.2 and I’m looking to display 64 forums. Unfortunately there appears to be a 50 forum display limit. How can I override this limit and show all the 64 forums on the front page?

When users register to my BuddyPress + bbPress site they are not being assigned the default role I have selected for them in the forums settings. It simply does not assign them any role.
I have to go in and manually assign them the role or use the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” tool.

Any idea what could be causing that? I have all other plugins disabled with the exception of: Custom Login 2.0 which just themes the existing wordpress login and registration pages.
