Hello

I am testing bbPress and WP Symposium.

http://www.virtualolivia.com/forum/

http://www.virtualolivia.com/forums/

My question is how can i set up same template from bbpress in my main site on forum same like.

http://pl.forums.wordpress.org/

I mean on left side some information below tag cloud etc …

I am waiting for quick replay,

[Mycelus]

Nope, it remained the same, and btw, I’d be more than happy to beta test. I finished the HTML and CSS courses on Codecademy and am moving onto PHP. I won’t be able to help code really, but I can definitely test and report bugs.

[Stephen Edgar]

@mycelus Can you test the following for me to see if it fixes the isssue

In your themes folder `/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php’

The current code is:

<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count">
	<div class="topic-reply-counts">Topics: <?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></div>
	<div class="topic-reply-counts">Posts: <?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></div>
</li>

Can you change it to:

<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></li>

<li class="bbp-forum-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></li>

Does that look better now?

(I don’t have the time to fully test these ‘style’ updates, I am mainly adding the functionality for forum subscriptions)

maybe a plugin or theme conflict

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

Check themes

If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

[Stephen Edgar]

Nothing in particular except to say that if Phorum has weird/custom BBCode that they won’t be converted standard BBCodes like [b], [url], [img] etc will be converted.

Also I don’t think the passwords will be converted so it is just a matter of the user requesting a password reset to get up and running after the conversion.

I’d also suggest you do this on a test server (local or remote) to get used to the process before you try this on your live server, that way any bugs issues etc will be sorted out first.

Are you talking thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of posts?

[Robin W]

quite possibly a plugin or theme conflict

@magic-komplex You can find the latest German translations for bbPress here (Both ‘de’ and ‘de formal’)

[Magic-Komplex]

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of bbpress and now I’m searching for German language files for this version. The latest version I could find was 2.0 or 2.1, but that one didn’t work, actually there’s nothing translated at all, except from some parts within the backend.
I just need a translation for the front end, cause most of my users don’t speak English, I’m fine with English within the backend.
Any help would be highly appreciated and sorry if this is the incorrect forum for this request.

[Robin W]

so when you are doing all this testing, has the w3 cache plugin been deactivated? and have you then cleared your browser?

As SE says working on say twentythirteen with just bbPress as a plugin works, so if this is not working for you, then you will need to look to your host provider for help.

WP 3.8.1 – SP 5.4.1 (but also isn’t working with 5.4, i just upgraded when trying to fix this) – BBP 2.5.3
I’m working on a duplicate copy of my wp db (I always do a test run before working on live site).

However I just noticed this error in my php logs:
“PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class bbcode in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/parser.php on line 979” while reading response header from upstream

So I think some other plugin (or maybe wp itself?) is declaring that class already. I’m going to debug this now.

[Stephen Edgar]

I made the importer with SP v5.1.4 and every now and then upgrade to the latest just as I did earlier.

I’ve got nothing else that comes to mind at this minute, it’s quite late here so I’ll take a closer look in the morning.

A couple of things will help though, what versions of WordPress, bbPress and SimplePress are you using?

[matrixino]

I tried leaving only 1 forum group (seems like I need to have at least one) and disabling all plugins, still no luck. I’m trying to upgrade to latest 5.x version now and see what happens :\

Edit: Nothing, still stuck there after upgrading. Is there a way to have a verbose output to see exactly where it get stuck?

[sanjaynegi]

Here are the answers…..

1. Yes bbPress is fully working, except that when i go to Dashboard>replies i get an internal server error mentioned above.

2. this is an old installation, few days back it was working fine from 10 days back i am getting this error in Dashboard>replies.

3. This error is always been there.

4. Nothing has changed on the site except i installed some plugins i needed.

5. I am running these wordpress pulgins are BackUpWordPress, bbPress Genesis Extend( beacuase bbpress has problems with genesis framework and it helps), bbPress Moderation, Broken Link Checker, Contact Form 7, ContestHopper for WordPress, Eggplant 301 Redirects, Genesis Simple Edits, Google Analytics for WordPress, Jetpack by WordPress.com, Nofollow for external link, SEO Friendly Images, W3 Total Cache, WordPress SEO, WordPress SEO News, WP-No-Tag-Base and Google Publisher Plugin.

6. Yes using W3 Total Cache as a caching software but i don’t think it is the issue.

7. Yes this problem is also there with ALL plugins except bbPress deactivated AND a default theme such as Twenty Thirteen installed i still get this error? and the default theme i used is Twenty Thirteen.

Thanks for your help…..

ok, lets see if it is a conflict problem

Check other plugins

Check themes

[Stephen Edgar]

I was on Simple:Press v5.3.4 and have just now upgraded to v5.4.1

Tested the current bbPress v2.5.3 import using the SimplePress5 importer and everything worked fine.

Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No reply_to parents to convert
Converting replies (0 - 99)
No tags to convert
No super stickies to stick
Calculating topic stickies (0 - 99)
Converting topics (0 - 99)
Calculating forum hierarchy (0 - 99)
Converting forums (0 - 99)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (0 - 99)
Converting users (0 - 99)
Starting Conversion

This is the SQL query that runs the step you are stuck on:
SELECT post_id AS value_id, meta_value FROM sp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_forum_parent_id' AND meta_value > 0 LIMIT 0, 100

This shouldn’t really cause any issues, worst case scenario you no longer have your forums grouped in their previous hierarchal structure.

The only other thing I can think of is maybe a SimplePress plugin/extension may have modified the database setup beyond the basic ‘out of the box’ setup I use.

You could also try reordering your SimplePress forums to force an update of their values in the database. Also try removing the forums from the groups and delete the groups. You can easily add the groups/categories again on the bbPress side once the import is completed successfully.

Help! My forums are not aligning properly. Has anyone had this problem, and any ideas what could be causing it? I’ve tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins… take a look here:

https://kimtest2-diamondrock.rhcloud.com/forums/forum/test-forum/

WP v. 3.8.1
BP v. 2.5.3

Thanks if you can help…

Ok, I am also confused !

If http://www.techgreet.com/ is your site, it seems to be working fine on the client side, I can access and see the forums.

So for the server error – when exactly do you receive this error?
Are there particular actions that you take to create this?
Have you contacted your server administrator, and what did they say?

for the tab error – I presume this is in the dashboard?
Have you just installed bbpress, or is this an old installation?
What else has changed
What other plugins are your running?

It may be a plugin or theme conflict – not sure whether you tried deactivating all plugins except bbPress viz

So it turns out it definately was the MailChimp plug in.. I disabled a few of the checkboxes.. it got better but was still buggy.. then I disabled it all together and ran it through a series of posts and tests, log ins as admin, log ins as a user.. seems to be working fine .. so far.

It sucks though because I was really hoping to use that Mailchimp plug in to build our mailing list.. now I may have to do it manually.

[Stephen Edgar]

You should be able to do most of this debug testing in under 5 minutes, this is the quickest and most effective way of troubleshooting. Once you determine what plugin or theme is causing the conflict then you can either choose to not reanble it or renable it, then do some research with the plugin/theme author to try and get the issue fixed.

[Perpetual Frustration]

Im guessing its that nasty MailChimp Lite plugin.. I’ll be checking later tonight.
I had tested this when I originally installed and didnt have these problems.. or at least I think so. I only installed Mailchimp in there a few days ago.

I’ll disable it bit by bit in hopes its not totally useless.. *sigh*
Whenever that control strip starts disappearing over top in admin mode.. its always a conflict.. so I still have hope…. those forums are a major part of that site.

Can’t switch the theme at this point.. t’would be suicide.

[Robin W]

elegant – depends !

If you simply alter this file then on any bbpress version update you’ll lose the changes, so make a note of them.

There are alternatives

1. Add the css styling change to the style.css file within your child theme.

If you have a child theme, then this is ideal, as neither plugin nor theme update will affect your change. Simply add the code below to your style.css

/*Styling for forum description */
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content {
clear:both !important;
margin-left: 0px !important;
padding: 0 0 0 0 !important;
	}

2. If you only have a main theme, then consider using a child theme – it’s quick and easy to create one, basically it’s just a theme that you create that says “use this main theme, but then add these bits”. Google child theme video and you’ll get loads of help.

3. Add this to the style.css in your main theme
But you’ll need to keep a note of it for theme upgrades, so this is really no better than changing in the bbPress template, and neater to do it in bbPress than your theme

4. Make a directory called css in your theme (either child or main) and copy the bbpress.css file into it. Then make changes there. this then won’t be overwritten on upgrades, but you will not get the benefit of changes to the default bbpress.css that may be in upgrades.

Overall 1. is by far the best choice, as you keep the code no matter what happens. Otherwise keep a note of your changes (which are fine, and are what I did to test prior to putting the end result in my style.css), so that you can replicate them on upgrades.

I have done a little more investigation (with a slightly different configuration). I created a new “test” topic as one user. I logged out and logged in as a different user and attempted to respond to the test topic and I received the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_notifications_add_notification() in /nas/wp/www/staging/cbblogers/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php on line 124

My configuration was:
bbPress v2.5.3
buddyPress v1.8.1
Wordpress v3.8.1
site url: http://cbblogers.staging.wpengine.com

Thanks much,

@1lizcollins

Don’t know why it happened. try Dashoboard>tools>forums.reapir forums and run one at a time to see of this fixes your links.

It could also be worth checkint that you haven’t got a plugin or theme issue, although neither would cause a plugin to disappear.

@adenslayer

This seems to be a known issue with this plugin viz :

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpsc-support-tickets-bbpress-conflict?replies=1

I see you’ve also posted to the plugin site, so hopefully the plugin author will come back to you.

[Robin W]

Can only suggest you try the following to see if they are causing issues

I can’t see anything obvious that is wrong….

Your not using the latest jQuery, your using v1.10.2, you should be using v1.11.0

I would double check your code in any functions.php you are using for your theme, make sure you are using bbPress v2.5.3.

I’d also suggest strip out all the JavaScript (stickUp.js etc) and the jQuery bits as @Lynq wrote above and get back to an extremely basic header.php, footer.php and bbpress.php (or index.php, page.php etc) and verify everything is working then add back your JavaScript bits one at a time.
