Thanks although i did just find the setting in settings to make it show latest topics instead of forum list, so thats good.

I got the widget in sidebar to show forum list so that’s good.

There are just a few things i want to do now and that is:
Show a bar at the top of forum page to display create topic subscribe and favorite similar to here.

Also show the number of topics in a forum on the forum list in sidebar.

hmmm…my version works perfectly, one email per topic or reply.

bbPress uses WordPress to email, and the line in bbress notify is
`@wp_mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
`
Maybe that something within your wordpress/host setup is causing the issue (I suspect from yoru comments you already think this might be the case).

I’d suggest you do a test. in Dashboard>settings>discussion enable “email me whenever anyone posts a comment” and then post a comment to a blog (not bbPress). If you get more than one email, then it is not a bbPress problem, and try posting it to https://wordpress.org/support/ for help.

I set up WordPress on Microsoft Azure cloud and installed bbPress. Users can add topics and type in posts/replies and the correct number of posts/replies are displayed but the actual post/reply text does not display when users click on the topic title. Take a look: http://testgene2.azurewebsites.net/?topic=which-16s-rrna-primers-to-use

Any help or ideas are appreciated. I pretty much went with the defaults on installation and settings.

Hi,
I just followed the instructions to set bbpress in Italian but no luck, the basic page I created is still showing the headers in English (e.g.: Topis, Posts, Freshness, weeks, and so on).
I copied the latest .mo and .po from the development section and renamed them bbpress-it-IT.mo and bbpress-it-IT.po. Copied them as per instruction in the proper location. Was there anything else I had to do? I appreciate your attention, thanks.

EDIT: found the mistake, sorry, as you can see from what I wrote I used a dash instead than an underscore 😀 Sorry for the waste of time!

Hey guys. So I’m used to the regular forum format like phpBB and IP Board where it looks like this: http://imgur.com/XlyR6cc

So, where it says Welcome to IPS, that’s the category name.

Under that, you have News and Information, and Pre-Sales, those are your FORUMS.

Then you have a space underneath the categories as can be seen in the picture.

This makes sense because your CATEGORIES are SEPARATED from each other, and the FORUMS, are listed underneath.

The way bbPress it, you can click a category. This makes ZERO sense, there is NO reason to click on the category.

Also, as can also be seen in the picture, the amount of topics, and replies are to the right side, with the recent reply, time, latest thread, and time to the right.

This can be done by anyone with some moderate CSS knowledge and WordPress know how, unfortunately I possess little of both.

So I’m here for your help. Please share your wisdom with me and help me get this layout. This is a layout SO many people have asked for, yet I have found no tutorials on getting anything like this and it just astounds me considering how popular bbPress is, I don’t know why bbPress has a god awful layout.

Note: Please do not make any “well this is how bbPress is supposed to look like so you should deal with it” comments. I’m not here to hear that.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me achieve this. I really appreciate it.

I am posting a topic using this form, which specifies to post to post_parent ID 599.

Everything functions ok, but the topic will not show up in the frontend under the specified forum category.

It does show after posted, but in the backend. What am i missing to have it show up under the forum?

	$description = $_POST['description'];
} else {
	echo 'Please enter the content';

$new_post = array(

I am building an extension plugin for MailPoet to allow users to subscribe to a newsletter when they register on the forum.

I have my admin settings field shown in bbPress but I when it comes to saving the options I do not get the value I either entered or selected. All values save with a zero.

Can I have some assistants to get my custom settings fully operational.

I have my plugin available on GitHub as it is right now to show what I have done and for you to download and test your self.

I hope someone can help me correct this please.

Any help is most appreciated.

Thank you.

It’s picking up

some background from
.reply a {
background-color: #8A8A8A;
border-color: #FFFFFF;

from what looks
http://armada.sjebbe.nl/Discussion/topic/test-2/#3 line 57 possibly jscript related?, but something I think your theme is doing.

[Juicy87]

Hey all,

I’m trying to set up a forum using bbPress. I’ve come a long way, but I just can’t seem to get this strange background color removed.

As shown in the picture, there’s a grey-ish background color behind the avatar of people replying to the topic. The topic starter doesn’t have the background color.

Could anyone tell me how to remove this?

Now I’m getting a file doesn’t exist error, so it seems to be the file having the problem.

Warning: require(/site/folders/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /site/folders/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 314

Like I said, I’m running latest versions of all the systems, bbPress is the stable release 2.5.3. D:

[glyndavidson]

Thanks for taking the time to create a screenshot Stephen. Using the latest version of bbPress and TwentyEleven, I don’t have the Subscribe link.

Is it possible to provide an example of the <a href=""> tag so that I might hardcode it into a template?

Thanks again,

[Robin W]

possible conflict with other plugins or your theme

Try deactivating all plugins except bbPress and then add buddypress back and restest. if ok, the add other plugins back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

If no joy, then switch to default theme (eg twentytwelve) and see if it still is still there

Come back and let us know how you got on

[Robin W]

I’m sure there are plenty of highly active bbPress sites, with 20% of the world’s websites being wordpress they’re bound to be. That these people don’t come to the attention of a support site – and that this site only gets 20 queries a day – is surely testimony to how good the software is !!!

[sylcollin]

Just to be clear, both files are wrong (see below). They have the same behaviour.

I updated bbpress to version 2.5.3, and I still have the same issue.
I solved the other issues reported by whynopadlock.com. Only bbpress issues are remaining, here is what whynopadlock.com says:

Total number of items: 45
Number of insecure items: 2

Insecure URL: http://test.paulkampfstudios.com/training/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5.3-5249

I found about the chrome javascript console after, but it confirms what whynopadlock.com said.

The great thing about bbPress compared to other forum software is that you can get it up and running pretty quick, do some testing to see if it is worth while and if it isn’t just deactivate the plugin.

[Soprano]

Hello,

Recently I’ve been contemplating installing buddypress along with bbpress onto my wordpress. I want to make it a community that focuses on the same desire of self-improvement and spirituality.

I was fortunate to have a few traffic spikes and started getting 20,000 unique hits a day for a few months so I thought it would be a good time to try and capture this visiting audience somehow by motivating them to register and return to be active in a forum community to discus the topics of the articles that brought them there.

However, after visiting showcases of forum sites like http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100 and http://bbpress.org/about/examples/ I notice the majority of them, even ones with millions of members, seem quite inactive. The latest posts being a few weeks or even months old. Even these bbpress.org forums seem to only get about 20 new threads a day. I know facebook has taken away a large chunk of forum users who now prefer groups and pages.

I always wanted to create a forum community, but when I tried I failed due to lack of traffic to my site, and now that I do have traffic, it seems forums aren’t as stimulating for internet users anymore unless the niche of the forum is very specific. So is it worth going through all the trouble of setting everything up?

Thank you

[awasik]

I figured I would test out the process of signing up as a new user to my bbpress forums.

However, I never get the signup confirmation email. I have checked spam, everything.

Is there some setting somewhere that I am missing? Here’s my forum:

Thanks!!!!

[freiwerk]

Hi there,

I have a site using latest versions of buddypress and bbpress. My users can create groups that contain a forum. In addition I use the “group email subscription” plugin, to keep users in groups updated. This works as a charme.

However, some of the group users now want to have subforums in their groups, in order to have a better overview. As soon as we had created the subforums, we discovered a bug: New posts now dont show up in the activity stream of the group. In addition, it does not reset the “last active” flag of the group. Furthermore, and this is my real problem, the email notifications does not work anymore.

Anything I can do here to get subforums with groups working properly?

Thanks and regards!

Hello, I help run a university student organization WP site with Buddy Press. I’m getting a fatal error when trying to activate the plug-in. I’m using the latest WP, Buddy Press and trying to install the latest bbPress.

/site/folder/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 199

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_user_role() in /site/folder/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/update.php on line 355

Because Google searches are giving me nothing, it’s rather maddening. Thanks!

Hi,

I started a bbPress to test and i have a huge problem.

My theme have a few page templates, including full width pages and pages with sidebars. bbPress, in my case, uses full width for the index and a sidebar page template for the topics.

I want bbPress to use the full width template everytime, but i don’t know if the modification needs to be made to bbPress or my template.

Maybe someone can help me with that ?

Regards.

I don’t need their role or title. For some reason the avatars will just not come up in the loop outside of the mychild/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php files and mychild/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php. So it works fine on index pages.

I’ve tried all of the but nothing

Here’s what the code looks like right now:

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'topic', 'posts_per_page' => 10 );
			$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );?> 
			
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>

  <!-- pagination here -->

  <!-- the loop -->
  <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
   <?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 32 ) ); ?>
	
	<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_topic_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
  <!-- end of the loop -->

  <!-- pagination here -->

  <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php else:  ?>
  <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

This worked for getting the original post author, but I need the latest active poster to appear<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ), 32 ); ?>

Is there a wordpress function equivalent for this function: bbp_get_forum_last_active_id() that I can use with get_avatar() ?

What file do these functions reside in? Maybe I could copy the functions out and make new ones in mychild/functions.php or see if something wrong and replace the file?

Thank you for the help!

[shearamariz]

I have a concern to say… My bbpress installation is on the latest installation.
Okay here it is: Whenever I add a title that has a max length of 80, it still saves.
May you please check it?

Thanks.

I ‘think’ I tried that but will give it another test and report the results.
