Oh right, gotcha.

Yeah, the v2 bbPress forums look nowhere as good as the standalone ones.

I thought something might have been fixed in an updated bbPress release – not to be

[tnwinn]

I’m also getting all kinds of page errors with the current set up (like here: http://www.gogo-gringo.com/forum/rants-amp-raves/recommendations), and it jumps back and forth btwn my old standalone (…/forum) and my new forums (…/forums). I think I’m in over my head on this one. ?

[tnwinn]

Anointed, thanks for the response. I’m not seeing a DL link at the bottom of the page you sent me though ? (I’m not super dense, I swear )Cheers.

My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I’m looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. infrared Stationsgoing on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.

I installed WordPress, and then BuddyPress. As far as I know, BuddyPress comes with bbPress 2.0.2.

In BuddyPress’ components, the “Discussion Forums” component is NOT ticked, it’s off.

Instead, I have a bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on the wordpress’ list of plugins. I unfortunately don’t remember if I installed the plugin, or it got installed as I installed BuddyPress.

My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I’m looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. going on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey everyone, I’m having a bit of trouble with my query. I’m display forum posts on the home page of my wordpress site so they kind of look a bit like a blog post. What I’m having a hard time figuring out is, how can I exclude spam, hidden, and closed topics from veiw on that page.

Basically, I only want to show open topics on the home page, the part o the code in question is…

$bbp_loop_args = array(

'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),

'orderby' => 'date',

'order' => 'DESC',

'post__not_in' => bbp_get_super_stickies(),

'posts_per_page' => 10,



);



if ( bbp_has_topics( $bbp_loop_args ) ) :



if ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();



global $more;

$more = 0;



get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );



echo '<ol class="other-recent-posts">';



endif;

endif;

I’m able to exclude super-stickies easily enough, but excluding hidden, spam, and closed topics is eluding me.

Anyone out there have any Ideas?

To be the truth, there aren’t latest completed bbPress documentation except the code itself (along with description on each code or function).

Since you are programmer that already satisfy your need IMHO.

But I found a documentation at http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress-plugin/

What I want is to personalize bbPress. For example, I want to show all posts, with a function to filter by user, area, etc… Is this possible ?

I think you can, but I’m not really sure since I haven’t do that yet.

Hi, I was having the same problem with my forum menu. The blog menu was highlighted as active. The code you posted fixed it, so thanks a million!

Is there any code I can add, so that the individual forums and topics menu also make the forum menu item active? At the moment when I click into a forum or topic, the menu isn’t active.

Thanks!

Hello, I would like some feedback on a small issue I have been having where when the user submits their registration they are not notified that their form has been submitted successfully, rather the same page just reloads.

The data is submitted fine so the user gets an email. But I am not sure where to start with actually telling them that everything went right, or redirecting to a different page saying that their registration has been received and they should check their email.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress Plugin. The rest of the theme works fine, I am not using 2011, and have followed the instructions for turning my custom theme into a bbpress compatible theme. Just having this one issue now.

Thanks

Hello all, I just had a quick question that has me stumped. I have a new site (so no other plugins to mess things up) and while the forum will show up the main forum page won’t work. I tried shortcodes and more but for whatever reason the main forums page won’t work.

The individual forum will show up at

http://happyimprov.com/forums/forum/improv-exercises/

but when I want to display the index at

http://happyimprov.com/forums/

it won’t display.

Help please.

[Hedgehog84]

Bump!

If my question is not clear, please let me know.

I’m running the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress (3.3.1 & 2.0.2).

[Themes Community]

I believe only digging into database that can solve your problem. By accessing database your can find your email (located at *_users) as it default wp users table.

Hi everybody,

I just converted my phpbb3 forum to bbPress with these details:

topics: 1.290

posts: 25.800

members: 7.960

Now the really annoying part comes up. Anaylzing the source code with firebug I discovered the reason for the slow performance: There are too much queries executed! I disabled all plugins and removed all widgets (using bp-default together with bbpress / buddyPress). Still the amount of queries executed rises from 60 to 222 executions (forum view / topic index / reply) taking up to 3 seconds to execute.

I just went over to testbp.org/discussion and annalyzed the code seeing:

<i><!– Generated in 1.506 seconds. (184 q) –></i>

So looks like a normal behaviour. Tried also w3totalcache and that works fine for logged-out users but once I enable w3totalcache for logged-in users then I get strange outputs.

Does anyone have experience with a forum in the size stated above? It looks like I need to get a fully cached bbpress working to consider switching to bbpress but after spending days of work to convert and design the new website I am afraid that I will get stuck now.

If someone here has experience then please give me a shout! I really would like to use the wp / bbpress / buddypress combo but the slow performance won’t let me use it for now.

No issues with 2.1 on my site – and the approach is much better Just saved me weeks of work – and i’m using it on a live site against recommendations (watch out, we have a bad ass over here)

Thanks for responding.

Will there be possibility to add classes like in WordPress post_class().

I know that bbp_topic_class() is using post_class() via bbp_get_topic_class() already, but I would love to see simple solution to add custom classes to row of topic, something like bbp_topic_class(“my custom classes”) or with compatibility bbp_topic_class($topic_id, "my custom classes").

[Themes Support]

Use bbPress Post Toolbar at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

[Andre]

The support warning means the theme doesn’t natively support bbPress. You can add support or use shortcodes and still use bbPress. Here’s a link to shortcodes you can insert in a page. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

I don’t understand your question about plugins.

[techguard00]

hi, what version of PHP is that wordpress using?

I look forward to your help here with our respective issues with bbconverter.

Neolo7, try setting your permalinks to something other than default. You should at least have %postname%.

To add /forums/ to your menu, use the custom links option. Or create a page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, then add that page to the menu.

There is a glitch that is not bbpress related, but rather it’s custom post types related. If you theme relies on the class “current_page_parent” to highlight the current page, WordPress things any post type should keep your blog page highlighted, if you have one. Here’s a piece of code you can drop in functions.php to help:

// fix menus

function support_menu_item($menu){

global $post;

if (get_post_type($post->ID) == 'forum' || get_post_type($post->ID) == 'topic' || get_post_type($post_id) == 'reply')

{

$menu = str_replace( 'current_page_parent', '', $menu ); // remove all current_page_parent classes

$menu = str_replace( 'menu-item-169', 'menu-item-169 current_page_parent', $menu ); // add the current_page_parent class to the page you want

}

return $menu;

}

add_filter( 'nav_menu_css_class', 'support_menu_item', 0 );

Be sure to change “169” to the id of your menu item.

@Rastarr – Your site is looking much better than mine but i’ve noticed you have one of the same problems that I do– the weird numbers ( i.e. (3, 4),). @ Anointed – any idea how to solve this?

Just a note… I installed ver 2.1 (over the 2.0.2 install) of bbPress and I’m getting the same error.

[jcarlson1701]

Hello.

I just installed the bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on my newly installed WP 3.3 site. Upon activation of the plugin I get the error:

“add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead”

I assume that this is an incompatibility with the PHP calls from the plugin to WP since ver. 3.3 depricated a lot of old PHP scripts.

Is there a way to fix this or at least have WP stop complaining about this?

Thanks!
