Hello Stephen,

I added this code in my functions.php file and got two button but the toolbar is still not working:

I have only 2 plug-ins. bbPress and Aqua Verifier. I already deactivated the Aqua Verifier plug-in to see if the plug-in could cause the problem but it doesn’t. I think the problem is my theme I have created for my site but I can’t find an mistake in my code. I would be really glad if you could take a look on my code: http://snippi.com/s/r6mpul7

Hi Robin,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Issue 2 is resolved with your code.

As far as issue 1 goes – I disabled all plugins and it did not resolve the issue. So I went ahead and enabled twentyfourteen and it resolved it – Unfortunately that is not much good to me, as I need to continue using the theme I bought from Themeforest.

The theme authors general attitude when you post any issue with an external plugin is that they basically don’t care as its not directly related to in-built theme functionality or ‘we haven’t tested that with our theme so can’t comment on your issue’.

With the above in mind, could you suggest some way I could debug the issue myself and try to resolve it?

[Robin W]

On issue no. 1

the &#039 is the code for a quote mark ie the ones either side of this ‘word’

so something is displaying rather than interpreting this.

Not sure why, could ebe a plugin or theme issue

try

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.

come back and let us know if that helped.

On your issue no. 2, bbp-foums class does the overall border

	.bbp-header, .bbp-forums   {
	
border-top: 1px solid #EEEEEE !important;
border-top-left-radius: 10px !important;
border-top-right-radius: 10px !important;
}

fixed it on my test site

Hi Lynqoid!
We love the look of your BBPress theme. It seems many people are installing this different ways though. Some are using filezilla and others their WP theme uploader. The result is that some installs are working out of the box and some are not so could you please answer a few questions for us?
1. We are using the Dynamix Theme with a child theme we created. How exactly would I go about this install? Can you give us the step by step for all of us please? 🙂
2. Am I correct in understanding that this file only “themes” BBPress and not the rest of our theme?
Thanks for all your help.

Hi there,

I have the latest versions of WP, Buddypress, bbPress and rtMedia installed on a test site.
My theme is SocialBuddy.

When I have all 3 plug-ins activated and go to the Buddypress member profile eg. members/admin and press the Media tab which should bring me to the Media area it instead brings me to the bbPress user’s (Admin in this instance) profile page but keeps the pretty url as members/admin and not forums/users/admin/.

When I deactivate the bbPress plugin the Media tab works correctly…with no issue at all.

I’ve been in touch with both the rtMedia and SocialBuddy developers and they are unable to help.

Site is wp.photographyireland.net

Any advice?

Thanks
Mark

I posted about this issue that I had a couple of weeks ago without any resolution. So I thought I would start at the beginning. I installed a fresh copy of WordPress (3.8.1) with the default themes on a newly created directory. Second I installed BBpress (2.5.3) and kept all the default settings. Upon completion I added the BBpress login widget and tested the login function. When I do this it hangs up on /wp-login.php page with nothing but a single period on the page.

Is anyone else having this same issue? I need help!!!!

There is no real easy way to do this in bbPress 1.x and that is what you are using.

The latest version of bbPress is bbPress v2.5.3 that is a plugin for WordPress.

You should just delete the entire database and install WordPress then bbPress.

Hello, I’m having some tests in a site named ffffind.com
Now the only problem is, it looks like someone has breached into my wordpress account and posted 20K+ posts and topics inside the bbpress extension.

ffffind.com/forum/ is where the problem is at.
I am running the latest WP release as well as the latest BBpress release.

How do i delete all of the posts in one hit and renew all of the bbpress content?

[Tim Hardy RRC]

Is there a way to filter search results for non-logged-on users of the website so their results don’t display the contents of private forums which then go to a redirect loop when we try to follow the links?

An example from our testing site:

http://www.resourcescentreonline.co.uk/tim_play/?s=fisticuffs

The search results don’t include topics that have individually been made ‘private’ but I can’t find a way to set this to default for topics within a private forum – I can batch edit them afterwards but it would be good if, failing a solution to the search problem, this could happen automatically.

We’re running WordPress 3.8.1 and BBPress 2.5.3 (as part of a Commons In A Box setup) on an entirely custom theme.

If there’s any more information I need to provide, please let me know – thank you.

edit: glaring typo

I just did a test on my staging site, pagination gets the 404 error in main forum, in topic it works fine

Having issue with our site pages and BBPress. We are using WP 3.8.1 and the latest version of BB Press.

email: theig072@gmail.com
site: http://www.fretbuzz.com
site password: test12

We want to customize our BB Press page (title, maybe input a button or two… who knows) BUT there is no actual BB Press page to customize? The forum seems to be automatically created upon install. Normally we can edit any page by selecting “edit page” at the top of the screen and in this case, there is no edit page button because the page doesn’t exist.
Following? So the logical next step is to create the page right? Well… when we go to the backend of WP in the admin dashboard -> Settings -> Forums -> we read (about halfway down this page) this text:

“Forum Root Slug – Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”

So we created a WP Page named forums. (http://www.fretbuzz.com/forums/) If this page is created then the forums appear until we edit anything. We cant select any option or input any text or the forums do not appear. So we deleted the page and the forums appear again. Then we created a separate WP page and labeled it test (http://www.fretbuzz.com/test/) and then moved the forum root slug to it, the forums again appear but If we again try to put any button shortcode or text or whatever in the page then nothing appears. So this begs the question…. What are the shortcodes BB Press talks about in the settings panel? How do we customize our BB Press Forums page?

End goal = Create an actual page that hold the forum roots on which we can add a button or two (with maybe some text). With an actual page as the root slug, I have access to turn on or off options as well such as “ratings” and “Author Bio”, which is quite annoying on the forums currently.

Our theme (DynamiX) has almost 9000 support members and this is what one of the support moderators said:

“Hi Tad,
I am not sure if this feature works correctly as I have tested it with DynamiX and the standard WP theme and they both have the same results. It must be a feature of BBPress that does not work properly.
Tom”

This cannot be so…. Any suggestions. Any help is highly coveted. 🙂

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out how to get a specific forum to be shown on a page and to keep users on that page.

I’m using the following shortcode:

[bbp-single-forum id=9232]

This does the job of showing the specific forum on the page, but it when a user posts a new topic or clicks on a topic to read it, it takes them to the bbPress page:

/forums/topic/test-topic

Is it possible to keep the user on that page throughout the process? I have different forums for separate members (using the Groups plugin), and would like to control who can see what from that single page.

Thanks 🙂

[Apokh]

Okay I tested out both. The topic counter is really great. But with the user info thing, I´m not so happy, for the user will have to enter the Data (once again) there which is already present in WP somewhere. I´d prefer a slolution where I can get teh userinfo from WP for example the First Name and display it under the avatar…or above it.

[Mycelus]

Hey guys, so I dont know whats happening, Ive looked around everywhere but cant find a server.

I transferred from Goldsboro Web hosting (local NC based host) to Fatcow today. All my plugins work fine, but when I install bbPress, it gives me 500 internal server error when trying to get into http://www.skyforgelabs.com/wp-admin (thats my site)

When I delete the bbPress folder via FTP, I can get into my admin panel just fine

When I install bbPress via the WordPress dashboard, it gives me the 500 error mentioned above and stops me from getting into wp-admin

My site is hosted on Fatcow, and my friends site is also. He faced the same issue and was unable to get it resolved.

Im using the latest stable version of WP and bbP

Someone please help me out here?

[Lead As Love]

Hi @johnjamesjacoby . Would like to know why this was working with both pagination AND threaded replies before the most recent bbpress upgrade? We got spoiled by the awesome functionality. We had threading working and also pagination. Why did this change?

Also @johnjamesjacoby When I disable threading and allow pagination I have to go to the very last page of the topic to get the latest reply. This was also something I used to be able to control. Is there a way to get the most recent responses on the first page?

[chrismanson]

Hi all,

I’m very new to bbpress forum – had just installed the latest version but am having some layout/format issues with my forum (i.e. no space in between some words)

1) Title of latest topic is appearing in the “Freshness” column (beside the timestamp)
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/

2) When user click to view the list of topics in this forum, again, title of the latest topic appears at the top of the page (where breadcrumbs are supposed to be)
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/forum/ask-propertyelite8/

3) No space in between topic title and “ReplyTo” when user click to reply
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/topic/career-path/

Hope to receive some help from you gurus! Thanks!

I have a breadcrumb plugin, it’s all working quite well other then one thing:

With the bbPress forum it shows my “Forums” slug twice. Both link to the Forums index page, but it’s weird to have it double it’s self. Any ideas? I don’t have this issue with the plugin on anything else.

Using latest of WP and bbP – website is http://www.novasev.com

I’m trying to figure out a few things – I’ve done a search and read through a couple dozen or so items without much luck.

I’d like to incorporate some more info into the bbPress user profiles – I know I can probably do this using the $curauth params but want to make sure. I also want to make authors/contributors/etc link to the bbPress profiles as well. Is there a quick piece of code I can use to do this within my WordPress theme files?

I have this function to return an author profile page when the name is clicked on:

function new_comment_author_profile_link(){

    /* Get the comment author information */
    global $comment;
    $comment_ID = $comment->user_id;
    $author = get_comment_author( $comment_ID );
    $url    = get_comment_author_url( $comment_ID );

    /* Return the default WordPress comment author link if comment author is not
    a registered user */
    if ($comment_ID == 0){
        if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
            $return = $author;
        else
            $return = "<a href='$url' rel='' class='author-url'>$author</a>";
    } else {
    /* Return the link to the comment author's profile page if otherwise */
        $return = '<a href="'.home_url().'/?author='.$comment_ID.'">'.$author.'</a>';
    }

    return $return;
}

Can I plug in some line/piece of code to direct it to the bbPress profile instead? If so, what piece?

Wordpress & bbPress are latest versions – website is http://www.novasev.com
Appreciate the feedback.

I’ve done a test install.

Links like this are breaking (I’m getting ‘Page not found):
http://www.mydomain.com/forums/forum/forum-name

I have run all the recounts.

I suspect the way the slugs work has changed.

On the working site, the settings are:

Archive Slugs
Forums base: forums
Topics base: topics

Single Slugs
[v] Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug
Forum slug: forum
Topic slug: topic

The test upgrade site has this:

Forum Root Slug
Forum Root: forums
[v] Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug
Forum root should show [forum index]

Single Forum Slugs
Forum: forum
Topic: topic

Any ideas?

Thanks

[Robin W]

suggest you try:

Repair Forums

Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forum and run one at a time

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Hi

I have roles setup in wordpress which i would like to display in the forums in place of the bbPress roles.

Or is there a way to create new bbPress roles with the titles I want then have the roles synchronized with wordpress?

eg.
Wordpress –> bbPress
Guest –> Guest
Builder –> Builder
Moderator –> Moderator
Admin –> Admin
Co-Owner –> Co-Owner
Owner –> Owner

Each role has different capabilities but i would like them to show as different roles on the forums as the titles link up to our small gaming server.

WordPress Version: 3.8.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.3-5249
BuddyPress Version: 1.9.2

Testing Website: http://bob1nz.com

[Liberty]

Ok, test forum is open: http://plusthemes.de/support/forum/test

[Robin W]

ok,

What I’d suggest you do is look in the main theme for a 404.php, and edit this to give a login link.

(If it doesn’t have a 404.php, then copy a page.php or index.php file across to your child theme and rename it 404.php. Look for the “loop” part of the code, and put the stuff in there instead)

You could then edit this file to have a link to your login and some different text.

So for instance if the 404.php files says “oops sorry this link appears to be broken”

you could amend this to :

This page cannot display. This maybe because you are not logged in. To login click here

or however your users login on.

They will probably go to the home page once logged in, so having the relevant posts in say the sidebar (eg latest topics widget) will let them quickly navigate to the post.

If any of the above not clear, please do come back.
