Hello, I am using the latest version of bbPress (2.3.2), buddyPress and WP 3.5. In the settings-forums, I cannot get the check box to use the fancy editor to stick. I click it on, hit save, and when it refreshes the box is un-checked and not working. I tried to switch to the default themes and it still doesn’t work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hey BBPress!

I was wandering if ya’ll can help me out with this. So I have my theme styled so that each Forum gets its own background through the style.css file using the following lines:

.postid-17 {
background: #000000 url(http://alysiaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/alysiasea.jpg) center top no-repeat fixed;
}

where postid-17 is the correlating WordPress post associated with the Forum.

The problem now is that when you visit a Topic within the Forum, the background goes back to the default image :/

I am thinking that there should be a code to pull the topics Parent Forum “postid” and then force the background to the topic.

I hope that makes sense. I can dig through code, but I am not so skilled with writing my own yet.

Thanks in advance for your help.

WordPress and BBPress are running the latest versions:

Site – htp://alysiaworld.com
Theme – Twentytwelve

Update:

I’ve figured it out.

Part of it was my theme using the post_type_archive_title()

Part was needing to set a filter:

function test_support() {
  return 'Support';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_forum_archive_title', 'test_support');

And part of it is needing to modify the default bbpress theme by placing it in my own theme directory, and modifying the hard-coded instances of Forums and Topics.

A future enhancement / feature would be some sort of an options file to allow this text to be modified in one place somewhere…

I can confirm this issue, and I believe it to be a bug with how forum threads are looked up. Perhaps one of the team here can confirm the issue?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a thread using greek characters
2. Right click, and “copy link” then paste in new tab. This WORKS.
3. Now copy the URL directly out of the address bar and paste in new tab. This DOESN’T WORK

The difference I’m seeing is that the outputted forum URLs are encoded using lowercase a-f characters, but if you copy from the address bar (depending on browser or OS) the encoding letters are A-F uppercase.

For example:
ce%bf – accepted by bbPress and given the correct page
CE%BF – goes to 404

Normal WordPress pages can handle either just fine.

I’ve tested this for a bit and got the same results in both Chrome and Firefox on OS X. It really looks like a bug where bbPress can’t tell the difference, or it’s not an exact match. Either way, this could be a big issue! To users, the links look exactly the same, and they can have issues sharing links.

Thanks! Hoping to get some more feedback here.

Best regards

Hi, actually I’m trying to develop a WP plugin that will do almost the same thing you were trying to do.
But, my lack of knowledge and the lack of documentation (I can’t find it!) aren’t helping me very much.
This is what I have actually:
https://github.com/maisdesign/MDPostEforumsCreator

As you can see in my index.php file that is here:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Post And Forum Creator by MaisDesign & Stestaz
Plugin URI: http://maisdesign.it
Description: You give it a title and it automatically create a blank post and forum with that title, that's it!
Version: 1.0.0
Author: MaisDesign & Stestaz

*/
/* Documentazione:
	Quello che sto cercando di ottenere è di svolgere tutto in una sola pagina, sono certo che non serva richiamare BBHOST e compagnia bella per inserire un cavolo di articolo ma sono le 2.20 AM e non so più che pesci pigliare!
	In fondo a questa pagina troverai del codice commentato, se ci sono bestemmie nei commenti lasciale dove stanno, sono di buon auspicio :-P

	wp_dropdown_categories('orderby=name&hide_empty=0&exclude=1&hierarchical=1');
    echo '<input class="subput round" type="submit" name="submit" value="Post"/>
</form>';
};?>

My plugin is almost complete, what I can’t understand is How to create also a forum with same title of the post created by the form.

Is there anyone who can send me to the right direction? Thank you.

[gowdemon]

That is pretty cool. I am new to bbPress. Do i just upgrade to the latest version automatically, just like WordPress?

[Shmoo]

Check how much Plugins and stuff you have going on at your WP website.

Lets say you have a Sidebar at the page that also has to query for, latest Blog Posts, Comments, Topics and Replies than it all takes a lot of performance.

Hey

I installed bbpress on my page
http://sofafootball.com/forum/

However, as you can see it looks lifeless and i’d also like it to be slightly bigger and increase the font size.

I’ve looked around everywhere on the editor and i cant find a way to edit the appearance. Please can someone help me.

Using the latest version of bbpress and WP.

Cheers

Hi All,

Sorry if this has already been covered, if so just point me in the right direction.

Basically, I theming my bbPress and it’s all going great, except I need to do some work on the template-tag.php files found in ‘includes/users’, ‘includes/topics’ etc… and I obviously don’t want anything to be overwritten by updates…

I already have the template-tags file working fine in my theme’s ‘includes/common’ folder, but just can seem to get the system to actually see that I’m using other folders.

Do I need to declare the folder structure somewhere? What is it that I’m missing…?

I’m using the latest live versions of bbPress and WP and the folder structure I’m using is:

themes >
mytheme > bbpress-functions.php
bbress > loads of very well named template php files
includes >
common > gets seen just fine…
users > nothing working from here.
topics > ditto…

Many thanks for any pushes in the right direction…

Thank you, Sam. Members wasn’t activated when I tried to edit the forums. My blog guy is working on it now. I gave him the URL off that plugin.

Once he tests and I see I can hide forums with Roles allowed, I will buy your program. The alternative is public forums but password-protect two of them. But that just ties up resources as the cracker bots try to get in.

[SickSquirrelTwo]

I Installed the latest WP then next-to-the-latest bbPress.

I imported my db from phpBB. There should be a Private forum available only to those I allow, and a Hidden forum with the same setup.

I can’t figure out how to hide these from all except those who have permission (Roles set via Members plugin).

Or, if they must show, can you recommend a password protection plugin? This way they need credetnials to get in.

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

I login and everything is fine until I try to hit the forum index then I’ve lost my session. I’ve tested on FF and chrome.

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

I have a goal to vertically display in bullet format the last 5 latest forum topic titles with reply count and last reply date.

I took at stab at it and here is the pastebin: =>

[DNBrawler]

Normal members are having problems editing their replies or threads. It seems like (I’ve tested it) the edit button disappears after some time. HOW DO I MAKE IT STAY 100% FOREVER?

[sertefi]

Hello,
I replaced the front page of bbpress by displaying the archive of topics. but the topics are displayed by DATE whilst I am having 2 sticky topics (forums rules) that I want them always to be on the top of the archive page.
now the latest topic is on the top and the sticky are on the bottom.

is there any solution for the sticky topics to be always sticky whether in their forums or the archive of topics?

Thanks for the help.

I have raised this in the WordPress forum because I assume it may have a general answer when an installation screws up the system.
I uploaded the bbPress folder as instructed for a first install.
Got “Fatal error”. So I deleted the folder and re-uploaded it. I have now done this three times on two separate days. I have meanwhile also uploaded a Log in form widget which is happily working.

Yet again, after uploading after third attempt:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/aconbury/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php on line 304

Earlier, second attempt I got:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/aconbury/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php on line 866

Only way back into wp-admin is to delete bbPress YET again! Would welcome any ideas.
Bog standard set up, host thirty odd sites but never a WordPress one!

Latest version of wordpress (three days old) and yesterdays bbPress)

Michael,

There is a Simple Machines package called BlogBridger, which allows you to migrate Simple Machines users to WordPress. I’ve not used it specifically to migrate users, but I’ve used it to sync logins between SMF and WP and it will create the WP account based on the SMF login, which sounds like what you want.

As I recall it took a little tweaking to get it to work properly with the latest SMF, but it wasn’t hard. Certainly worth you taking a look.

I have installed the bbpress latest version 2.3.2 and added the bbpress forum search widget in side bar.

When i used to search the forums, I am always getting the below error message as search result.

“Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.”

I tried with “http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/” and “http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-bbpress/” plug-ins but the result is same.

Please suggest the solution to overcome this issue.

[Vanilla_Bing]

Funny that. We got the same double-separation and missing menu on our end, but its the latest of our mysterious problems preventing rendering the forums on our website at all. (They used to work fine, but they first stopped showing on the site, then the menu too.) Disabling other plugins doesn’t fix this, apparently.

[barrowr]

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the advice. I tried that and it had no effect. I actually commented that whole section as a test and no change. Is this the right code snippet to make this change?

Thanks

Rob

[Shmoo]

Just test this..

Copy the following file into your Twenty Ten Theme folder.

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/extras/archive-forum.php

And inside that file delete this line <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Hope that gives you an idea.

[canutedechou]

But with the wordpress code wich soundcloud gives you it doesnt
I update to the latest wordpress version coss i read that there was a better soundcloud integration, but that code in particular doesnt work.
