What version of WordPress are you using? I suspect something in your theme is attempting to access a $post variable that’s been unset as part of bbPress attempting to work its magic.

You can tell that it’s using the page template, since you have some hard-coded author information in there. It’s probably something in your theme that’s trying to access something that no longer exists.

using the short code [bbp-forum-index] on a page in wordpress and for some reason it show 3 of our 4 forums and duplicates one of them. We have 4 forums (For Sale, For Rent, Rules, General) and when you load the page that has the short code [bbp-forum-index] you see (For Sale, For Rent, Rules, For Sale). I have tried deleting all forums and recreating and still get the same error. However, if you go to the system created page http://sitte.name/Forums you see the correct listing. I would use that as the forum start except I do not know where I can edit that page and its Page Name always shows the last forum created instead of ‘members forum’. Anyone seen this before? I have tried searching the forums for this condition but have not had any luck. Thanks in Advance

Thanks for posting the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. I was wondering how come my forums never did show up on the forums page created.

And I used this advice of yours …. nothing happened

My friend’s website is

http://www.theReviveChallenge.com

I have created a username and password for you to see the forum

username jared

HI Jared,

This seems to be the issue I am facing as well for my friend’s website http://www.revivechallenge.com

Entire website is in black and she wants to stick to albiaza theme, however when we go to forum, the links are red (which we can dead with)

But background and text are white and one cannot read the text unless you hightlight the area.

I am not a ‘programmer’ so to speak, are you able to guide me as to –

1) which file will the above code go in?

2) Do I copy paste or do I edit these values in existing coding in that file?

I am familiar with GoDaddy FTP service and know how to get to files and directories and edit text if need to but unsure about where should above text go.

I know … I am very novice so ANY guidance you can give will be very amazing and much appreciated.

Thanks

Szebastian

See forum here:

http://www.beecavenews.com/bee-cave-forum/

1) How do I remove “Started By”?

2) Why is “Voices” and “Posts” not aligned?

3) Why is there so much vertical space?

I used the bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] code. This also looks the same when I use the standard [bbp-topic-index]. And it looks this way with and without my custom css to change look and feel.

Thanks,

Cory

HI,

I am having the same problem:

I am running bbpress 2.0.2 under BuddyPress and although my permalinks are nice and pretty :

Code:

/%category%/%postname%/

The permalink used in the breadcrumbs is this:

http://www.foodiesplace.com/?attachment_id=431

(no idea where it got this from since the page does not exist)

The breadcrumb link should look like this:

http://www.foodiesplace.com/en/facecook-forum/

Any ideas anybody?

Thanx

[Richard Vencu]

in my case I went to page.php template and replaced this

comments_template();

with this

if (!stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/forums/')) { comments_template(); }

where forums is my forums base

[Havardo]

I am trying to hide some forums from some users.

This does seem to work, using the “members” plugin and by giving access to private or hidden forums.

However, if I use the shortcodes together with forum categories, only the categories are visible and not the actual forums.

Any ideas how to resolve this would be highly appreciated.

[unholyfruitbat]

Oh, this is if I’m using the bbPress “integrated” with BuddyPress. As in I installed bbPress through BuddyPress. It seems this muddies the waters a bit. I think I’ll just wait

[root@test plugins]# find . -name bbpress

./buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress

./bbpress

./bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress

./bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress

[root@test plugins]# ls buddypress/bp-forums/

bb-config.php bp-forums-bbpress.php bp-forums-loader.php

[Jared Atchison]

Yep thats correct. You can pick and choose the args if you don’t want to reset all of them.

function custom_forum_breadcrumb( $args ) {



$args['sep'] = ' | ';



return $args;



}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb_pre', 'custom_forum_breadcrumb' );

[Matthew Simo]

I made a filter that set’s the before, after, sep & root_text for the breadcrumbs. Take a look, writes over the ‘bbp_get_breadcrumb_pre’ filter found on line 1553 of bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php

// Change bbPress bread crumb separator.

function filter_bbp_breadcrumb( $args ) {



$my_args = array(

'before'  => "n<div class="subnav bbp-breadcrumb ">n  <ul class="nav nav-pills ">n    <li>",

'after'   => "</li>n  </ul>n</div>nn",

'sep' => is_rtl() ? __( "</li>n    <li>", 'bbpress' ) : __( "</li>n    <li>", 'bbpress' ),

'root_text' => "Support"

);



$args = wp_parse_args( $my_args, $args );

return $args;



}

add_filter('bbp_get_breadcrumb_pre', 'filter_bbp_breadcrumb' );

OK — I did all that and can see the plugins/bbpress folder in Filezilla. The problem is, I can’t see it in the “plugins” page on WordPress to activate it, and the site is otherwise not recognizing it (pages I had with shortcodes aren’t working).

Sigh. I’m testing it on wavychick.com, which is a dev site for my dev site, if that makes sense.

[Jared Atchison]

All the plugins on bbPress.org are for bbPress 1.0.

The plugins for bbPress 2.x go on WordPress.org.

Eventually the plugins listed here will be archived to help with the confusion

[Jared Atchison]

You will need to do it using FTP.

1. downloads zip from link

2. unzip (will be a folder called trunk)

3. rename trunk to bbpress

4. access website via ftp, delete current bbpress folder in wp-content/plugins

5. upload new one

[Jared Atchison]

Yep, you can do that with the plugin – just make sure and upgrade to 2.1 before you install it. After that just head to the Genesis settings

[Jared Atchison]

Yep! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

[unholyfruitbat]

Is there a plugin that you know of that lets you post an image without attaching it? Like the bbcode [img]?

[Jared Atchison]

You need to adjust the way your theme handles elements that have the reply class.

This will get you started

.bbp-replies .reply {

float:none;

margin:0;

}



.bbp-replies .reply a {

background: none;

padding:0;

font-size:13px;

}

Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.

The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it.

[frank8265]

unzipped foldername is “trunk” which i renamed to bbpress.

Downloaded a zip file from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

and it had a different content then the “trunk” folder.

Uploaded this one and it worked in wordpress.

However, the initial problem from this topic still remains, also in version 2.1

[Jared Atchison]

What is the name of the new folder you are moving into the plugins directory. What’s inside it.

Sometimes it may unzip as bbpress-r238787/bbpress/ so I just wanted to make sure that’s not the case.

Inside the folder should be all the normal contents of bbPress. It should work fine on multisite without any issues.

[Jared Atchison]

Just delete the bbpress directory in your plugins folder and replace with the new one. You don’t need to do any uninstalling in WordPress, no.

I am having some problems generating a forum index page.

Once I created my forums I thought that by adding the url http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/ to the menu I would be in business. Going to the url shows a featured article and the bbPress sidebar, not a forum index.

Since I did not get a forum index I created a new page and named it Forums. I then pasted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] into the body of the page and nothing changed. The same results were displayed as if I did not have a page. Almost seems like bbPress ignored my page.

Here is the link to the page…

http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/

The next thing I did was to create another page and name it “Test Forum.” I inserted the shortcode and this page displayed a forum index for me.

http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/test-forum/

The problem I am having now is that the slug “test-forum” only relates to this page and not to any of the forum pages because the slug “test-forum” does not exist in the bbPress settings. Those settings use the slug “forums/forum”. If I change the “forums” slug to “test-forum” I end up back to my original problem.

I would like to leave my slugs defaulted to their original values. I just want a forum index page using the bbPress slugs and have a bbPress sidebar.

This is probably simple, but I have not figured it out yet, so I hope someone can shed some light on what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,

Rhek

Thank you John, I use bbPress 2.1 and using Shortcodes actually improve something. The list of forum looks better. But still not working correctly, you can see it again in http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum.

I know no one will take so much trouble but if you want I can give you access to the web or create an instant portable wordpress (http://www.instantwp.com/) with themes, plugin and everything ready to see what errors have. If not, nothing happens, I understand that you do not waste time on this with me.

John thank you very much for your help, really appreciate it
