At http://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ it says:

Upon activation, bbPress will make additions to three areas of the WordPress Administration Screens:

1. bbPress creates three custom post types and adds them to the navigation menu: Forums, Topics, and Replies. Use these menu items to create and manage your forums.

2. A sub-menu found at Settings > Forum. Customize these settings for greater control over bbPress.

3. A dashboard widget – Right Now in Forums – which shows recent bbPress-related activity. Use the widget to quickly monitor your forums.

I see items 1 and 2. But where might I find item 3? I don’t see it in my dashboard anywhere. I do see a few bbpress-related widgets available though.

Thanks for any pointers here.

Well, I tried installing it again, and this time it works.

Do I just use shortcodes from the docs to add links to wherever they are needed? For example, after re-installing it mydomain.org/forums is the forums (in fact it’s the forums from before I deleted them). But there is no UI to them. Should I just add a shortcode to a page which appears in the primary menu in the header to get going? Is that what most people do?

Thanks,

doug

Hello,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I having issues with finding “where” and “what” I need to be editing to fix my sites avatars from bleeding over the reply height.

I know this sounds hard to understand but here is a link to the issue at hand. You will see at the smaller responses that the avatars are too big or the grey background of the responses are too small depending on how you look at it

Here is the link:

https://www.synthetos.com/topic/cnc-build-using-tinyg/

One other side thing.. How do you remove the “tabbed” avatar responses? It makes it hard to read IMO.

Thanks for any help!

i dont use buddypress but i kinda had solved the problem when i moved bbpress theme files to inside my child theme.

i still have a lot to figure out but i suggest instead of using shortcodes, move to theme files

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility in here it says how to do.

now i have access to all links.

[AAShepAA]

Understandable question . Yes it is, and most all of the other admin links work fine.

[John James Jacoby]

You assumed wrong. That’s okay, because next you need to figure out which plugin isn’t working correctly by deactivating them one at a time and seeing which one stops the bad stuff from happening.

I have a hunch it’s the bbPress Admin Bar Addition one.

Ultimately, you just need to open the hood and start tinkering.

[AAShepAA]

Thanks John..

I am assuming you are referring to my bbPress plugins?? They are:

bbPress2 BBCode

bbPress Admin Bar Addition (Had to do this to even have access to admin)

bbPress Moderation

bbPress New Topic Notifications

bbPress Post Toolbar

bbPress Quotes

bbP Signatures

Again, I appreciate your help.

[AAShepAA]

Spence – I just abandoned the previous theme (after it costing me $35 I am now on a theme that supports the styling to my liking

Again, thank you for all your help!

Solution! Install ‘User Role Editor’ and set ‘read’ for Forum Participants.

i start to build child theme now to copy the theme files of bbpress. hope that helps.

did you try what i wrote skyforger?

“i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it.”

[Le Duy Quang]

Firsh read this article: https://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

Need a child theme without code? This plugin can do for you: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-click-child-theme/

Now on child theme create a file call bbpress.php

Code example:

<?php

get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary">

<div id="content" role="main">

<?php the_post(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'bb' ); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

– Duplicate page.php on your theme and rename it to content-bb.php

– bbPress call content-bb.php so you can customize for anything you want!

Hope this help!

[loicknuchel]

Yeah ! Well done Lynq !

I added add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); a the end of my theme functions file and I don’t have the warning anymore.

Now I hope bbPress plugin works correctly.

Thank you

PS: I can’t close this topic because I didn’t start it…

[Lynq]

If you are checking that you are on the current page should it be

is_page('126')

and not

!is_page('126')

Or am I not getting what is going on?

[Lynq]

Try adding in: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); into your theme functions file.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

I can’t see it, it is asking me to login

[loicknuchel]

Hi, thanks for your responses.

@Lynq : on line 357 I have :

356: if ( ‘bbPress’ == get_class( $bbp ) ) {

357: $bbp->theme_compat->theme = new BBP_Twenty_Ten();

358: }

I didn’t understand what it does exactly.

@Aadhaar Card : I have tested about twenty theme, for all I have the first error : Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84

The second error occur only when I use the “bbPress (Twenty Ten)”.

On line 84 I have : $bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;

Maybe the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); is missing anywhere… But I don’t know where…

[Parker]

That worked! Thanks!

Also, I see u created a account

Hi guys, I have a very strange problem with widget logic and bbpress.

I created a normal page (post id = 126) and added the shortcode: [bbp-topic-index] .

I now wish to not show any of my widgets on this particular page by using !is_page(‘126’) however this just doesnt work!

I try it on other normal pages containing text and no forum shortcodes and everything works!

Jarret

my permalinks set up is restinerest.com/the.title.of.page

i refreshed permalinks sections after i set bbpress up as it is suggested.

i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it. but then i had this problem:

i had two categories and each have two forums. at this new page it is shown

http://www.restinerest.com/forumd/ this is the page.

category1

forum1(0,0) forum2 (0,0)

category2

forum3(0,0) forum4 (0,0)

and i wanted that forums would be shown as one under the other one.

so do i have the theme compatibility problem or any other thing?

and why cant i reach restinerest.com/forumlar or restinerest.com/forumlar/forum even though i set the slugs up?

any help will be appreciated.

[Jarret]

How do you have your navigation configured? Looking at the source code, the News tab has a class of current_page_parent when trying to view the Events/Forums pages.

Are the Events/Forums pages child pages of the News page?

[Jarret]

Well you could use the Custom Menus feature (Appearance->Menus) and setup custom links to URLs for your forum. Then use the custom menu to display somewhere in your theme and the links would take you to specific subforums.

Unless I’m totally not understanding what you mean and if that’s the case, please let me know

[Jarret]

It is all good, maybe sometime in the future somebody will have this issue and find this thread and it will help them

[Miniflowers]

Yeah, we were never able to get things up and running as we had hoped, so we said “screw it” and migrated over to Ning. They seem to have everything we were looking for and it was set up in about 30 minutes.

[Lynq]

It looks like bbPress is checking if the current theme is compatible with bbPress.

On line 357 of your twenty ten them does it have: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); by any chance?

Good luck!

[terence.milbourn]

Hi guys.

This is the first time I have tried to get bbPress working and I can’t get this combination to show the actual Forums or Topics although it does work on on this website http://www.essentialoils.coop/community when I switch the theme to bbPress (Twenty Ten).

If I use [bbp-forum-index] on a page or even just the bbP native URLs it will show my entire forum index, but when I click on any forum, I just get a blank page from the Pixel Theme Studio’s “Zen Theme”.

So far I have created a new directory within my theme root called ‘bbpress’ and copied the files from bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/ to this new directory. I have also moved the root files out of /bbpress/extras into the root of my theme. Plus I have added add_theme_support('bbpress'); to my functions.php, but still nothing.

My theme just seems to see the page at http://www.essentialoils.coop/community as an un-ordered list.

What did I do wrong? What haven’t I done? What is it that Zen Theme needs to make it work with bbPress?

Any help at all would be much appreciated.
