Well… that sucks. Then why is there an “order” field when you create or edit a forum/category? Also seems a little odd that they let you put things into a category, and then just shuffle things around. Makes no sense to have categories then.

If there is no way to sort the fields (either by modifying the query, or by using some code to tell the site what order to put them in)… then, does anyone know how to hard-code the forum page (without messing up the rest of the forum functionality)?

So I finally found this after a lot of searching the WP codex and comparing the code between the two plugins.

The setting to change is in jigopress-admin.php and your looking around line 40 for the position marker.

I changed mine to 90 so it sits at the bottom of the admin menu – and doesn’t conflict with other top-level menus items

I couldn’t however find a way to move the “products” and “orders” menu items down to sit with the jigoshop menu.

Everything now works and is present in the menus – albeit not if a very good order.

The advice above is informative – but not vary helpful if you actually want to fix the issue.

If anyone can shed more light on this issue, it would be appriciated.

With thanks

I would do the codex as Jquery did their documentation IMO, wordpress pages/posts. Easy to set up, easy to edit and change, and allows for people to comment saying what changed, how to use or provide feed back.

Gets the community involved. Thats how I do documentation for ruby based projects.

Any ways,

can you explain (since I am not testing this plugin till its 2.0) finished, how we will set it up for multi site to only use with ONE site? will it be done via the dash board?

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress already does do this, yes.

The process isn’t being sped up, other than 2.0 being close to complete. What would help is having more developers contribute to bbPress core, and if we had a codex where members could contribute documentation.

Once 2.0 ships I’ll be looking into how to best setup a codex for us.

[John James Jacoby]

This is a new one. The topic tags are updated on each reply with the contents of the input box. This is by design but will only result in empty tags if you reply to a topic with the tags input empty, so that forum members can self-police them. They are replaced as easily as they are deleted.

One current drawback is if you trash or spam a topic, it could leave empty tags behind. I’d maybe open a ticket for it, and I can look into it further. Right now I can’t reproduce the bug, but that doesnt mean it isn’t one.

I’m trying to make a really simple install of bbPress 2.0. I am using modified bbp-twentyten theme files with my WordPress theme. I have disabled topic favorites and subscriptions and would now like to disable all the user profile pages.

I realise that this will make it impossible for users to quickly review all the posts from a particular user, but this isn’t important to me. How can I remove this functionality — or at least remove the profile link every time a username is displayed?

I hope there’s an easy way to do this

I have bbPress as WP plugin. The integration is seemless, but I want the forum to appear on a page without the sidebar. Otherwise the replies become ridiculously long.

Any workaround for this? A shortcode maybe?

[Escalibor]

To make the page wider for the forum I put the following code in my themes page.php:

<?php if ( strpos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], ‘forum’)) {

?>

<div class=”art-content” style=”width: 800px; margin-left: 99px;”>

<?php

}

else {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’);

?>

<div class=”art-content”>

<?php

}

this just looks for the string “forum” in the url, and if found styles the content such that it is 800px wide. Otherwise, it just uses the default width. It works, but may not be the best solution. Any other thoughts?

[folgerj]

Well so far it seems that way… and you’ve done a bang up job on it.

What else can I do to try to break it?

[John James Jacoby]

Awesome Good to hear it. Should be pretty stable for many Novembers to come.

[folgerj]

Well if I had half your talent I would… might make me millions.. but after the fall foliage season is over if you want more info on this I’ll be glad to sit down and try to be real specific in what it should do…

If not I’ll do as I do now and make sure I’m subscribed to each topic and that way I get an email. I can’t tell from the dashboard under topics which one is which and the same for replies.

So if I go in from the back end (dashboard) I will spend quite a while trying to locate a specific reply to edit or answer.. So I always go in through the front end and reply to the person that way.

I just would like to have unanswered replies (by me) to be more evident.

Oh and I think I need to thank you since in some part, that your bbpress has helped me hit the 10,000 view mark (started the site this past April) and I beleive I’m getting great SEO from the forum…

Did I mention I’m running this in prime time? I sure hope it doesn’t break before November…

[monkfish13]

I have this problem, but for the life of me can’t find anything to do with the term menu_position or custom post types to fix the conflict ?

Where do you look and what do you need to change ?

It’s it an amendment to the code ? or is it a field the database ?

Help would be much appriciated.

With thanks

Makes sense. You should build it

[Gautam Gupta]

When you delete a user from the WordPress administration panel, there is an option to either delete all of the users’ posts or switch their author to some other option. You can use the former option to remove spammer users’ posts.

As to the no right click and also the no dragging an image off to the desk top.

I have a lot of photography on my site and while the measures I take only really keep the honest people honest since it those folks who grab my pictures to put on their blogs and pages… I like them to at least ask or rent the image..

But I do not care if you see the source for the page and I will deactivate the right click protection if that helps you out.

I feel it has to do with a third party toolbar for bbpress. This allows images to be uploaded (and as a photographer I desire this function and I want my users to be able to upload what they see on their touring around New England) When I take the pictures out of a topic it fixes the topic.

But I feel because the images are too large (I’m going to recommend he look to force the image to resize to the window)

I have turned off the disable on right clicks so feel free to see what is going on.

You may say and rightly so that this is the toolbar person’s responsibility to fix and I’m sure he will but I thought it should be something you knew about that way you can look into it and see if there is some code that you need to fix on your end to ensure that third party writers can’t upset the CSS with their code efforts.

Hi chaps, just a quickie: is there any snippets of code I can use to display the latest posts (and decide the number) on my static and custom front page here: http://www.krcsc.co.uk. Am using BBP 2.0 but can’t find any php on it – any ideas?

[Anointed]

This actually is being caused by your themes stylesheet.

Specifically line 647

.ind-post, .hentry {

float: left;

border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;

margin-bottom: 10px;

padding-bottom: 10px;

width: 100%;

word-wrap: break-word;

}

The float: left is causing the problems. Removing that will fix the forum problems but could potentially cause other problems with the theme. (I didn’t check)

I also added the following rule:

.bbp-topics {

clear: both;

width: 100%;

}

*that only takes care of this one table. You will probably have to go through and fix the rest. Once again, I did not check, but the css above should point you in the right direction.

[iSixty]

I am a relative novice, so forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place. I searched and didn’t see an appropriate topic.

On my bbPress Forum page, I have used shortcodes as follows:

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

bbp-lost-pass]

[bbp-topic-index]

The topic index overlays other text on the page, specifically, “Viewing 2 topics – 1 through 2 of 2.”

The url is http://bulimiatips.org/forum-2/ if you wish to see what I am talking about.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it?

Thanks.

[folgerj]

Ok… I now have everything back to normal… I had a Map from another site displaying on one of the topic posts. Once I got rid of that the topic margins went back to normal. But why did it take from to 24 August till this afternoon to melt down on me…

You would think that it would have gone then… but it waited until today… That is strange if that is what really caused it…

Thoughts?

Thanks for a great product…

[folgerj]

I just noticed on of my topics is running the words off to the right and under the side panel. I would assume this is one of my plugins but it only happens on two of the topics. Foliage reports http://jeff-foliage.com/forums/topic/foliage-reports/ and http://jeff-foliage.com/forums/topic/favorite-foliage-routes/

The rest of my topics both with and without pictures all line up on the right side and don’t slide under the side panel…

Any ideas? do you think this is a plugin causing problems and most importantly has anyone else seen it?

I’m running the current beta RC-4 and I’m working in Chrome and Firefox and IE9 and all show the same thing and the box for the posts are running out of room…

[Gautam Gupta]

If you have the time to properly integrate your themes, go for the plugin. If not, then standalone and migrate later (only if you’re integrating the user tables if you have a WP blog).

[ready_paul]

Hi all,

I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.

This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.

I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.

Here is the issue which I need help with:

With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.

I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.

The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.

Any help appreciated.

Paul

[jabbamonkey]

Yup, I’m not logged in.

What are the other short codes?

[travis.hill]

A side note to this:

Make sure you, as a registered user, are not logged in when trying to view a register page. It’ll redirect to homepage if you are.

[travis.hill]

I used CSS to modify the image size, but there may be a better way.

.bbp-reply-author img	{

height:50px;

width:50px;

}

Change the height & width to the desired size.
