I am quite sure all of this hase been fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3

You can download the beta from here and test it to make sure 🙂

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

[Erlend]

I’ve encountered this on both Windows 8 with Chrome and Ubuntu 12.10 with Firefox (screenshots). I can’t test on Safari. Also your first test post does not contain a bunch of text, the second one does. Test it with the first one.

[Erlend]

Running it through some tests now. I had this problem in v1 as well, with longer posts displaying weird:

This is on a vanilla site without any other plugins than bbPress. And at first I thought this was only with images, but it appears this happens to all long posts.

Its a bit hard to see what changes you made… If you think others would benefit from this create a ticket in trac and add your code as a patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

I’ve updated the first post…

[Darren1981]

Can you link us to your site ? Im not sure i understand what exactly you have done.

[djes]

I’ve slightly modified the bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php file to have an option to show latest posts, not only replies. Curiously, it was half implemented, but not ‘usable’. I don’t know if it has already been done elsewhere as it’s my first post here… Here’s the file, as I can’t post code on the forum %( : http://pastebin.com/PYkmNqQC

Hey all..

Rather new to BBpress.. Now what i want to do seems so easy with other forum software so i don’t see why i am struggling to get my head around this.. Anyways what i want to do is this:

– mysite.com <– Showing a few "Latest news" posts and other custom stuff including "Recent Forum Topics" etc etc
– mysite.com/forums/ <– Custom Forum Page, basically i want to display several forums under a few different "Forum Categories" like using a header image / background for each different category

I would also like to use forum icons.. (not really worried about "Topic Icons") I basically want a layout that looks like the following:

=================================
Category Title #1
=================================
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
=================================
Category Title #2
=================================
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
=================================
Category Title #3
=================================
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]

Sorry for the lack of detail lol.. Anyways… What is the best way to create a custom forum page like displayed above ?? What template should i edit as the main /forums/ Template ??

Really do appreciate any assistance on this one.. I am even willing to release a complete WP with full BBpress support if anyone can help me get this configured as i need / as stated above.. If any exp BBpress coders can assist me with this when i launch my project i am more than happy to give your service a plug / backlink from my website.

I am trying to launch my project in about 2 weeks.. Now as i am losing a lot of time with this i am opening to hiring someone to assist me if no one is kind enough to help me out for free.

Regards, Darren

Can you create a ticket in trac please: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
(Use the same bbpress.org user/pass to log in)

It will be much easier for us to track this there rather than here.

Also include as much information (Your URL structure for your site etc.) as you can and steps to reproduce the problem so we can setup the same to test it.

[Darren1981]

Hey all,

As the title suggests… Would it be safe to begin working on my localhost using BBpress 2.3 Beta 2 and then update to 2.3 Final once it becomes available ? I really have no reason for this but am aware 2.3 brings a lot of new changes and i really don’t want to start digging into templates for the current latest stable version only to update to the new version and have to edit a bunch of templates again..

I am looking at getting my project live within 2 weeks give or take a few days.. will 2.3 Final / non Beta be out by then ?

Any advice on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Darren

[Yakir Gottesman]

The latest in both.

This is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3, you can download and test it from here

Hi,
I’m having problems getting my forum members to see my forum and the latest posts. I had set the forum to private, but that turned out to force members to log in to see the forum (most of my members don’t have one).

So I set the forum to public. The forum is now visible when I’m not logged in. But now I discovered NEW posts won’t show up unless I’m logged in! The same happened to a forum member who does have a WP login.

The posts in question are set to public. The site can be found at here.

Please, I’m looking for any solution that’s not time consuming (I’ve spent too much time trying to get this forum to work already) and I know next to nothing about code, so that wouldn’t be a viable option for me. I hope someone can come up with a solution that finally gets this forum going.

Thank you.

I just set up a test site with WP 3.5.1, then added bbPress 2.2.4 and then added BuddyPress 1.6.4. I’m using site wide forums.

Plugins:
Alismet (not activated)
bbPress
BuddyPress
Custom CSS Manager
Hello Dolly (not activared)
PlugNedit (not activated)

Since this is new I don’t mind removing plugins (including bbPress and BuddyPress) and resinstalling. I don’t care about Custom CSS Manager, so it can go if needed.

I did notice that the directories “forums”, “forums/forum” and “forums/topic” were not created.

Could it have been the order in which I installed bbPress and BuddyPress?

Mormally I’d start from scratch, but after spending the last two weeks upgrading forums, etc software on multiple sites and then doing a server upgrade in order to run WP I’m a bit tired of looking at my computer 🙂

Thanks in advance!

hi, i really need help. i am very new to wordpress and bbpress. i installed wordpress today and installed bbpress.

i did downloaded your theme and placed it in wp-content/themes/my-theme

in wordpress -> Appearance -> Themes. it says

“Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
my-theme Stylesheet is missing.”

my test site is http://therightclique.sg/jeepforum/forums/
can anyone guild me to create a proper working forum?

[Lynq]

@golfer300 You will need to put the contents of the zip file inside your theme folder, once you have done this you should see a bbpress-functions.php inside your main theme directory. For this theme to fully work you will need to have the wordpress classes attached to the body tag.

@akgt I haven’t tested it using buddyPress, let me know if you use it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Good idea re: resyncing the database. I don’t think this DB was maintained properly and upgrading from phpbb 2.x to 3.0.11 may have introduced some errors.

Does phpBB now have your “50K+” posts after the repair or still ~27K?

Unfortunately, the outcomes were all the same. the import seemed to hang, although it did get further this time (converting forums 100 – 199)

You only had ~10-15 phpBB forums when I looked earlier and it now looks like you have removed phpBB from your site so I can no longer confirm this.

The last message you should have seen during the import ‘forums’ step should have been `(converting forums 0 – 99)` before it moved onto the next step `Calculating forum hierarchy (0 – 99)`.

I used the stop/start suggestion, let it run for an hour, and it seemed that everything was imported.

Why do you presume that? Did you see your 50K+ posts somewhere?

Then when you go to view a forum or category or topic, and most of it is missing. Most recent posts were from 2004.

I stated in my previous post any counts you see before running the repair tools will be inaccurate.

This was before running any repairs. Running the repair functions depleted the counts further.

I’ll reiterate this again, any counts you see before running the repair tools after the import is finished are inaccurate and should not be relied upon.

The repair tools nor any part of bbPress will delete content from your WordPress database unless you explicitly do this via ‘forum reset’ or ‘purge previous import’.

I’m not sure I can troubleshoot this in time for my client’s deadline but if further suggestions or upgrades come up, I’m game for trying them out in the future.

At this stage yours is the ONLY phpBB forum that has NOT been successfully imported, there are virtually no future upgrades planned for the phpBB importer because they are not needed as it has thus far worked with every single phpBB import that I have been asked to test or help out with.

The output of the converter should be similar to this (They should match your phpBB stats to the nearest 100)
Did the import end up looking like this below? If not which step did it stop at?
`

`

As I stated in the comments of the review you posted for the bbPress plugin at WordPress.org I am more than happy to take a look and help you get it imported.

If there is a bug with the importer and why your phpBB is not playing nice like all the other phpBB forum imports I can write a patch to fix it but I will need accurate detailed information from you to do this.

Cheers,

Stephen

@ashenkargmailcom – I did make ‘some-sort’ of progress on this today, taking a previous multisite install (wp 3.5.1) and then running the latest bp + bbp ‘trunk’ (bp 1.7 beta2 & bbp 2.3 beta1). In this test I had:

a. Buddypress network activated
b. bbPress only activated in the root (site 1 in my case of a 3 site multisite)

The inability to create group forum topics persists with the default buddypress theme, my Genesis Theme (Agency running Genesis Connect) HOWEVER, creating new topics (w/in group forums) does seem to work if I activate the twenty-twelve theme OR activating the genesis theme (agency) without Genesis Connect. I’m still not 100% sure what this means, though it leads me to think the the issue may not be in the database (which is where I previously thought the malfunction-at-the-junction happened…).

In a second test, I did this:

a. Buddypress only activated in the root (site 1 in my case of a 3 site multisite)
b. bbPress only activated in the root (site 1 in my case of a 3 site multisite)

& any theme (genesis w/ genesis connect, buddypress default) will allow the full creation of group topics. The same applies (as Fee) pointed out above if both bp & bbp are network activated. The only unworkable situation (for me) seems to be bp (network active) & bbp (single (root) site active).

Still not resolved (to my liking) but perhaps eliminating some variables…

[Lynq]

With anything like this I recommend just playing with it. If you can setup a local installation of wordpress and bbPress then you can mess about as much as you like, you generally find out a lot of cool stuff doing that.

Or if your site is just a test at the moment, add it and see what happens!

Good luck.

[Alexander]

@jeffacubed Thanks for letting me know. I’ve already tried to latest bbpress and buddypress trunk but the issue persisted. If I can be of any help with the testing – just let me know. I’m eager to get this issue resolved. Thanks

[Hesam]

I found the solution here:

No more Ultimate TinyMCE buttons in fancy editor after latest 2.2 update.

Thanks guys.

[FlipFlop]

Hi guys,

I’d like to alter the ouput in the Freshness column, as you can see in the code below, bbpress knows the latest forum post in any one forum and links to it if you click the Freshness link, in this case ‘4days 2 hours ago’. Instead of it outputting 4 days 2 hours I’d like it to show the title of the post.

I think I need to edit the bbp-header but I don’t know where to find this.

Can anybody help me do this please?

Thank you!

Hi,

Our groups page is not listing anything past page 1, have had a look but can’t seem to find any settings that may be affecting it? Would anyone have any idea how, where or why this is happening? Just updated to latest version of Buddypress so know it’s not that, and all the groups are visible when logged in as admin.
