DA,

Looks like your missing the CSS. Check out the child theme functions.php to grab the code.

bbpress uses gravatars for forum icons. No additional plugin is needed.

I’ll do my best to keep things error free going forward.

Feeds are coming soon too, so be on the look-out.

Yep working great, no errors, no issues, it “just works”.

Was able to open my site’s doors to my first members today and the forum is seeing activity. No turning back now! LOL

Thanks again J3

Locate the function bb_insert_post in file functions.bb-posts.php, then find the line:

$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

The real (*cough*) IP of the user can be retrieved with this function:

function get_real_ip()

{

$ip = '';

$u = 'unknown';



if(($ip = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) && strcasecmp($ip, $u)) {}

elseif(($ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')) && strcasecmp($ip, $u)) {}

elseif(($ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) && strcasecmp($ip, $u)) {}

elseif(isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && ($ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && strcasecmp($ip, $u)) {}

else return $u;



return $ip;

}

The instructions r-a-y mentioned above worked.

I had at one point removed the Forum Base blug altogether. Putting it back as forum and creating a forum page using the shortcode created the page for the index.

Would like to know what other shortcode options there are??

thanks for the help. Good to have a forum index now to start building on.

” Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed. “

This is where I am at right now.

I thought I would try [bbp-forum-index]. I created a page Forum and used that code. I still got the same page as I did all other ways. Goes directly to one of the forums and then list the other forums below it. Says Blog archive across the top.

Now when I create /forums (note the s) that page goes to my home page and not a page at all.

I did a re-save of the permalinks and so on but still not seeing a forum homepage of any kind.

I can only guess that I have something crossed up somewhere beings others have this working.

EDITING __ I did not see the above posts prior to posting this. Going to review and make a change on my site and see how it goes. Thank you for the help.

@tooltrainer – unrelated, and fixed. Try the latest revision. Was a bug with subforums, categories, and topic/reply counts.

API Error Code: 191

API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application

Error Message: redirect_uri is not owned by the application.

I use Simple Facebook Connect and I get the following error info from Facebook when I try to login … Does anyone know why this happens? I have tried to fill it up that wants me to fill out the application but … yes it will as it gets (see above) and search or ask for help on facebook, one can not hope, yes, more or less.

Anyone know what I need to do to complete so it works with the Simple Facebook Connect

So far, so great!! I actually grabbed JUST the file with this fix in it last night and threw it on my production site. Fixed the problem immediately! Now we’re working on re-integrating a clean install of the latest bbP build into our theme, and making sure everything stays happy.

JJJ, you’re a star. Thank you again for being so willing to actually investigate and fix this issue, and quickly too!

Will let you know if I run into any issues with it but I’m very optimistic.

@RickLewis

In my case, for the forum index, I had to create a WP page with the same page slug as the bbPress forum base slug (located in “Settings > Forums”).

On that page, I used this shortcode:

[bbp-forum-index]

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be generated automatically by bbPress during activation. JJJ, can you confirm if this is the case or not?

[John James Jacoby]

@CrownOfMars – Try the latest revision and let me know if it’s fixed for you. Was a regression from fixing something else.

@Rick Lewis – You haven’t started over, because you still have a custom theme. It looks to me like you still have

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

in your custom theme, even though you don’t have any bbPress files in your custom theme to actually provide bbPress support.

Using the add_theme_support() method is what tells bbPress not to use its own internal files, and just let WordPress do its thing and figure it out. In that case, bbPress will follow the normal template hierarchy for WordPress (archive.php, index.php, etc…)

So you either…

1. Copy the bbPress files out of the bbp-twentyten folder into your custom theme and use the add_theme_support() method, which allows you to use page templates.
2. Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed.
3. Create your own completely custom method of handling bbPress, which is possible to do but way more work than it’s probably worth doing unless you need something *really* tricked out.

1. No, you should install it in a sub-directory like forums. If you install it in the same dir, then their might be conflicting urls.

2. You’d need to port the theme yourself. There is no theme compat. (Though the new under-development bbPress plugin has that)

3. If you don’t want anything of WordPress to be shown in bbPress (ie. by using WP functions), then no. It would add extra load.

Thanks bbklo. I think I must have misunderstood your original dilemma. The solution for me was to change the defined cookie path within wp-config.php from define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ) to define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpress’ )

Now I am no longer logged out when switching between the two. For a little insight WP & BB are installed at mysite/wordpress and mysite/bbpress

Anyway… thank you. I’m pretty new to this stuff but trying to wrap my head around it.

@jjj you mentioned above that you don’t need to create a Forums page?

From older posts I thought that was the only way to make this work and with that I also moved things around and added in the code you mention to my functions.php. While things seem to show up they do so just like CrownofMars with the Blog Archive thing.

I too had the forums/forum thing and believe I killed that by deleting all the slugs listed in the settings and saving.

My issue is I can’t get to my main Forum page at all. I keep getting either redirected to the stupid Group forum directory or the second forum I made and it’s noted a Blog Archive.

I think I am going to back track a little and retry things without moving template files around and so on. Maybe that was needed in an earlier version?

I would love to get my forum page looking like this http://archaudio.org/forums/. That one looks nice. I haven’t achieved that yet.
