Sad panda indeed
Ah well, at least I’m not alone in this issue. I hit a few bumps in trying to implement BuddyPress, and felt like I was alone in my issues.
It’s a sort of strange consolation to know you duplicated my problem.
Check out https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-topics-replies-custom-post-type-architecture – should explain it
Where is bbPress’s style sheet?
Simple question, yes, but after having looked through all the child theme stuff, I’m expecting a very complex answer.
I’m simply trying to change the size and shape of the login widget’s text fields. It’s not fitting in my theme’s sidebar. (The theme that I use is Dandelion v268.) This has turned into a long-winded goosechase of installing and uninstalling theme files, templates, changing obscure comment fields, etc. I simply want the style sheet and change bbp-username’s style. That’s all. Help?
I have WordPress with bbPress 2.0 installed as a plugin. I’m looking for some basic functionality:
1. The ability to upload an avatar from the front-end, so the WordPress back-end can remain hidden
2. Topic and forums icons that can change depending on whether the user has read the topic(s) yet
3. Signature and custom bbcode support.
I can’t seem to be able to add any real functionality to bbPress simply because bbPress isn’t the stand-alone version. There is no page to activate bbPress plugins that I downloaded, so what do I do? Without plugins, bbPress is nearly useles…
Created page – support – and assigned it as the forum base. Then added the short codes:
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-topic-form]
[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]
[bbp-topic-tags]
And get a fatal error when trying to view page http://blog.webactivedirectory.com/support/
Created a new page customer-support with the same short code and renders exactly as planned. http://blog.webactivedirectory.com/customer-forums/
Switch the forum base to “customer-support” on the settings page and that page has fatal error and support page renders correctly.
I played with the short codes and pages do not get fatal error when only using:
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]
But the page does not render correctly.
Am I missing something completely?
You’re wrong.
They are most certainly related. Most likely that your install thinks it lives in a different directory, .htaccess rules, rewrite rules, or something similar.
Your feedback is appreciated. It’s not new information, though – and it doesn’t really help us do anything differently to improve your experience here.
Making bbPress easier to use has been the primary goal of its past 2 years of development. The number one tag on these forums is ‘integration’ and it’s because a majority of users want bbPress to work seamlessly with WordPress. Given the constraints of WordPress’s templating engine, we’ve done a great job with bbPress 2+.
Had you tried to use bbPress in 2008, you probably would have completely written it off; you *had to* go into the code and make edits to configuration files, it was part of the connection process and there was no turn-key solution.
Right now, as long as your theme is behaving:
* Install bbPress
* Make some forums
* Go to yoursite.com/forums/
* You now, have forums
* Optionally make login/register/lost-password pages, configure widgets, etc…
If you have BuddyPress installed, if your theme isn’t playing nicely, if you have a page with the slug ‘forums’ already for some reason, if you have anything more complicated you have to go hunting around for solutions. bbPress can’t predict every situation, it can only work with WordPress core files. If you’re experiencing one of these complications, it’s unique to a small subset of users and you (or someone you hire/know) is the expert in your installation.
You say you don’t want to look at code, and you’re not a developer; that’s okay. The problem is that bbPress isn’t going to be exactly what everyone wants, and why plugins exist. If you decide to dive into the code, it’s been painstakingly documented to read like a book – top down, left to right – with hints, direction, and pointers to connect things together in plain English.
In terms of staff on these forums, we are a volunteer staff of mostly Jared and myself with others that come and go as they can. When a topic goes unanswered, it’s because we just don’t have the time to take away from other things to help that day. Being disappointed is understandable; the only way that improves is by becoming familiar with the project and committing to time towards it.
bbPress, the project, has been around since 2005. bbPress, the plugin, since 2011. It’s born again, and new. No better time to get in on the ground floor of something awesome.
Sorry you’re unhappy. In the future it would be great to have more specific things we can address. General happiness isn’t really what we supply here.
I just installed the bbpress plugin in my wordpress site. I can see the bbpress settings page. I created a Forums page on my site, and added a forum to the bbpress Dashboard forum page. Now, how do I actually see the bbpress forum in my site’s Forums page? When I go there, the page is empty? What am I missing? Do I need to add some code to the Forums page to get the bbpress forum to show up?
Hello,
Install 2.1 version on few days back and it works good and used my custom theme without any issues.
But when i saw the Titles in the forums
its outputs before like…
Forums – site name
Forum: (forum name) – site name
Topic: (topic name) – site name
1) So what i want is move them to right or complete remove the later two, can some one point what to edit to achieve this.
2) And want the members to img code so image displays when topic is submitted, how to achieve this, what should i set default user to?
3) So if i use the admin account to post in forums it uses admin username directly in url, so how to hide this out… so as not to give out the admin username
Thanks John!
You´re right, that´s pretty deep in the core. Though from a SEO perspective it´s also a nightmare to start a project with URLs you have to rewrite later
– Let me know if I can contribute in this special case, the project itsels made huge steps forward – thanks for your work.
Don’t worry about defaults.bb-htaccess.php. It’s part of the version of bbPress that you’re using.
No idea what your ‘data folder’ is, so can’t say for sure if it’s correct or not.
And no, I can’t really just fix your problem for you.
You’ll have to do some digging. Searching for something like “apache htaccess redirect” should be all you need to do.
I don’t think it’s the theme you’re worried about, I think it’s the content. Which, won’t show up until there is some, just like your blog.
Make some forums, then go to yoursite.com/forums. There they are.
Topic: Redirect no longer working
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
I have a website built in Ruby on Rails. My site has a webpage, located at “example.com/communityboard”, that you can use to enter a separate Community area. The community area is built with bbPress.
I want users who type in the URL “example.com/community” to be redirected to “example.com/communityboard” . It used to work this way, but for some reason, the redirect no longer works in any browser but IE.
We accomplished this redirect by placing an index.html file in the /community folder where bbPress had been installed. The entire code for the index.html file reads
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://example.com/communityboard">Back when we built the site, I was told that a meta refresh redirect using an index.html file was the best option. The redirect had to address ONLY a single page (http://example.com/community) and not all of the sublevels of the community bb (which lives at http://example.com/community/index.php). Otherwise, the community bb and all of its sublevels would be redirected.
So… my questions:
Why is the meta refresh redirect not working anymore? How can I fix it?
Do the shortcodes have some how to limit the number of topics that can be shown with the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode ?, per example i have a page where i only want to show the last 5 topics not all of them.
Thanks!!
