Hi John, firstly, thanks so much for the work you’re doing. I think BBPress is a great product.
I’ve just installed Beta 3 and am getting the Forum breadcrumb link not working issue. I created a Forums page on our site and added the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to the page. The page address is “?page_id=155”.
For the uninitiated, could you please give a dummies version of what I need to do to get the Forums link pointing back to that page.
Thanks heaps
Try this in your template’s topic.php:
<li><?php printf(__('Started %1$s by %2$s'), bb_datetime_format_i18n(get_topic_start_time(array('format' => 'timestamp'))), get_topic_author()) ?></li>
You can use “timestamp” but then you need to convert it from a Unix timestamp using bb_datetime_format_i18n.
Hope that helps.
Chris
Only noticed this since my test site got beta3 the other day.
http://beta.tartarus.co.nz/ is the WP, and /forum/ is a page that uses the [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-forum-index] with default templating (ie: not Forum Index template).
I’ve got three screenshots which show the bbpress plugin settings for the slugs, the /forum/ “Recent Topics” page, the forums slug /forums/ page when you click Forums in the breadcrumb, and my work around to make it behave how I want it to behave (see the urls too).
So 1.png is the /forum/ page.

2.png is the /forums/ slug page as WP/bbp naturally does it.
http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/2.png
3.png is done using /forums/index.php to redirect to /forum/.
http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/3.png
If I made the /forum/ page slug be forums then it would show blank page probably because bbpress is getting in there first and showing the forum slug page which is blank -_-
I think that if bbpress returns a blank page, it should tell WP that it hasn’t found anything and for WP to continue to look for the page. But I don’t know how the plugin works much atm.
This seems to be resolving well. 
And here. Update to beta-3 and suddenly Forum Index doesn’t display anything.
To clarify, this was a page with the template “bbPress – Forums (Index)”.
Adding a new page with the same template also failed to show the index.
However, adding the shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]
to the page content makes the forum index appear again.
I’ve been a little out of the loop so I don’t know if this is intentional – maybe the index template isn’t the way to do it now and we’re supposed to use the shortcode. Using the shortcode does have the advantage of being able to add text before and after the forum index. Other template pages seem fine though.
In any event, it’s simple to fix.
The email notification reply link is fixed in Beta 3. Thanks. A new bug though: that link only works if the reply is on the first of many pages.
For example, the latest reply was emailed to me with this link: http://devpress.com/forums/topics/new-design/#post-2119
Pagination puts that reply on page 2 which means that link doesn’t actually take me to the reply and I have to go to the next page manually.
This is the working link: http://devpress.com/forums/topics/new-design/page/2/#post-2119
Also, that link actually has another bug report 
@Fartlek – The Akismet integration was largely contributed by cnorris23, and Nightgunner5. Props to them
DKB, doing this across multiple domains would be even awesomer! To enable something like this, can I get freelancers to do it for me for reasonable money? Or would that be so expensive that I’d be better of doing it myself. You say consult the docs (and thanks, Gautam) but I must stress I know nothing about codey stuff! Can anyone suggest a reliable WP/bbPress freelance coder?
Hi there,
first of all: thank you for this great Forum-Plugin!
I’ve got the standard installation by now and the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id="testforum1"] isn’t working for me.
Has anyone any idea what’s wrong?
[bbp-forum-index] on the same page works perfectly .. but i only want a single forum.
Thank you!
Originally we /really/ wanted a sexy p2 style theme for bbPress 2.0, but we scrapped it to focus on getting the foundation solid first. Long term we’d really like to have something ajax and fancy, so if any talented theme dev wants to step up and help build one, that would be swell.
@Patrick – Known issue. Will be fixed in Beta 3.
@lamo21 – Doing it wrong. Check translate.wordpress.org for bbPress 2.0 translations.

… a few details on adding function support would be welcomed.
Is “fi” the exact language code you have set in your wp-config.php? It’s not “fi_FI” or “fi_SF” or whatever it might be?
I have the same problem right now with bbPress 1.0.3. If you’re interested, you can put this piece of code before the “if ( $relevant ) ” line:
<?php
foreach ( $relevant as $elementKey => $bb_post ) {
if(!($bb_post->post_text)) unset($relevant[$elementKey]);
}
?>
This deletes the relevant posts which are already in the recent posts, and so are broken.
Yes, you can get the standalone version to use the WP user tables and then also integrated the cookies for single log-on. Please consult the docs.
There are 2 ways of replying to topics in the bbPress plugin:
1) To go to the themed page and reply there in the box under the topic-creating 1st post. This works fine, but there are no buttons to easily embed images in your replies, so you have to create your html in a separate editor then paste the code into the reply. And worse, there is no upload buttons (I want my users to be able to upload images/vids to post into their replies).
2)You use the grey panel at the top with ‘Add’>’Reply’ and it takes you to the white, unthemed, admin-looking area (what is this area called please, just so i now!?!), where you do indeed have access to embed and upload buttons WHICH IS GREAT AND DOES INDEED UPLOAD AND EMBED….but, despite choosing the topic it is to link to in the top right dropdown named ‘Reply Attributes: Parent Topic’, doing it this way results in an orphaned reply which sits somewhere obscure on my webspace and does not appear under the topic it was meant for.
Is there a way to solve ‘2)’? Or will my users who i want to be able to put images and stuff in their topic replies have to stick to pasting in code? Have i broken my admin-looking area making it unable to link replies to topics? Could a conflicting plugin have caused this?
Please help!
Is <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?> working for everyone else. I can’t find any other complaints about it.
The action is being called in archive-forum.php and should output the latest topic replies in chronological order of freshness.
http://devpress.com/forums/ <– no forum index appearing.
Hi there,
but still any help on why the [ ] tags aren’t working
my plugin uses html tags and not BBCode.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "your-htdocs/forums.example.com"
ServerName forums.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "your-htdocs/example.com"
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
on *apache-config-dir*/sites-available/default (*apache-config-dir*extrahttpd-vhosts.conf on windows) (or somewhere else)
Is it possible for some one to show me how to do site integration with php
sudocode:
If (!loggedin){
echo “Login”;
}else{
echo UserId;
echo Username;
echo UserDisplayName;
}
I want bbPress to do all the authentication I just need to know how to pull that information. Or at least the userId. and I need this on the server side so I can do some other stuff. Thanks
@anointed a how-to guide on theme forum integration would be very helpful, thanks in advance if you publish one.

I’ve now installed the Zaerl editor which works, and the normal html tags are working for images and text effects.
My question isn’t as urgent anymore, but still any help on why the [ ] tags aren’t working will be appreciated
Hi
I’m putting together a forum over at http://forum.photoguides.net
It’s yet to be launched and I’ve been having some trouble with plugins.
The plugins Allow Images, BBcode Lite, BB WYSIWYG Editor don’t seem to be working.
Take a look at http://forum.photoguides.net/topic/test-thread where I’ve tried some tags. When logged in and with the reply form visible there is no editing panel for the wisywyg plugin.
These three plugins all seem to be correctly installed in the my-plugins folder and are active. I’m assuming that because all three aren’t working, there’s some fault with the setup of the site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Ash Davies
