hey,
i would like to show a list of the 4 or 5 most recent topics / replies in my header.
like title / author / time
i’m currently using rss, which doesn’t give me the author though.
also i thought there must be a much simpler solution somehow…
if not. how can i change the “Reply To:” in the rss feed, that is put in front of the topics if there’s a response?
thanks a lot for any help

Thank you in advance for your help.

I’m not getting anything to work to add TinyMCE buttons in my bbPress. I pasted Sunriseweb’s code in my functions.php. Nothing. I have updated WP and bbPress.

How do I force TinyMCE into “teeny” mode?

[Martin ( Martin_C )]

I’ve recently installed the bbPress plugin on AppGlobe. When testing the different settings, I greated a private forum. Should only be visible to administrators and moderators I thought, but it seems participants can both view and add topics to this forum.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong. The settings for this forum is:

Type: Forum

Status: Open

Visibility: Private

Wow. Stephen I just read your post about trying the past versions of bbPress to isolate the issue. I started at 2.0 and the redirects WORKED! I moved up each time my tests were successful. 2.0 – 2.0.3 work perfectly.

As soon as I upgrade to 2.1 and upwards, the redirects break again!

I think it is safe to say it is a bbPress issue. Hopefully someone can look into it 🙂 I will try to examine the redirect differences between 2.0.3 and 2.1 and will post if I find anything useful.

For now I will use bbPress 2.0.3 and hopefully the issue will get sorted 🙂

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi
New to Buddypress/Bbpress and trying to test it on a localhost installation
I have all the latests versions and the installation seemed to work smoothly
I have enabled both group forums and site wide forums (even though my problem is consistant even when disabling the group forums)

The problem:
I’be opened several forums from the admin panel but can’t find them on the site!
when I get on my Forums page (http://localhost:29138/forums/) I reach to a “Forums Directory” page with an ability to add new topic, and a list of topics (from the groups forums!?) but no track to the list of my desired site-wide forums.

I tried to edit the forums page and insert the forum index shortcode but it had no effect

any help would be appreciated

I have just been updating the bbPress importers to support mentions eg. @rossagrant over the past few days and have had ~500,000 posts go through the DB and test site and maybe 1% would have a quote or mention, maybe less, it’s still quite a few and I have don’t see any of the SQL errors you @mention.

Is your site title issue a URL that is displaying like this?
‘http://www.mysite.com/members/dave/’
If so it is because the URL is wrapped in single or double quotes and will be fixed in the next version of bbPress, if not could you give us some more detailed info, what it should be and what it is sending in the email.

Edit: Ha, I cant force the error in that URL above, does it look like the URL with the ‘& # 8217’ at the end like your first post here in this topic?

Well… in fact I had to do the opposite and force TinyMCE into “teeny” mode to make bbPress 2.2.3 with WP 3.5 and Ultimate TinyMCE 4.0.3 to work. The TinyMCE toolbar forced the entire editor table to be wider then the content area of my theme and it was getting hidden behind the right-hand-sidebar. This could be a theme incompatibility, but I’m guessing some issue with this combination of plugins and WP version.

At any rate I used the code in this thread to the opposite effect (I put it in my theme’s function.php file, although a plugin is the proper thing to do).

`
function marconf_bbpress_mceallow( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘teeny’] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘marconf_bbpress_mceallow’ );
`

[Lynq]

Hmm, not sure its a “really dirty grimy hack”.

Removing the sidebar means you no longer have access to it, should you require it on certain pages, or if like some themes you want to access it on topics so you can show latest discussions, but not on full forum pages.

Otherwise you have to go through and remove it from all bbPress template files, if you ever want it back, you need to revert that process.

Sorry guys, was just testing out how tweets look embedded in forums. Must be some custom stuff going on in the main post over in these forums as it’s not embedded correctly.

I’ve got a nasy little bug(ger). I’ve got a 3.5 WP installation with a forum using the BBpress plugin. Everything was running perfectly until I noticed that in my WP menus I could no longer drag and drop. I deactivated all plugins (which helped), reactivated them. So far so good. Then I noticed that my forums went funky.

The forum index works. I’ve got four forums, two public, two private. One of the forums works (one of the public ones), the other three give 404’s. The strange thing is that a newly created forum also gives a 404, but al subjects (or threads) work, also the threads in the malfunctioning forums.

So I thought: permalinks. Changed to default and back, no go. Edited the permalink of the forums manually to something ‘test’ (edit specific forum), no go. Edit the permalink for forums in the BBpress settings, no go.
Of course I also tried deactivating plugins again, use default theme, searched around a bit on the www and noticed people with htaccess problems. I’m sure it’s something there, but I can’t figure it out, especially not because one forum works and the rest does not.
Website monas.nl, see tab forums.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

[Stephen Edgar]

Ahmmmm… That was the theory…

I just tested this and if I create new parent categories and forums and move the topics to them that also trips this bug….

I will get back to you shortly 😉

Hello,
What is loop code for getting all forum topics?
I want to show latest post from forum in footer.

[Will Brownsberger]

Just wish to report that I have confirmed to my satisfaction that W3 Total Cache is not working with BBPress — using latest versions as of this date, January 8, 2013. I installed both in the last week.

I have an active forum thread going on my website and as I observe it carefully, I can see that new replies are not generating page refresh for the topic. So, an anonymous user coming would not see latest replies. So, either there is an incompatibility or W3 just isn’t working right, which is possible — see this comment on that plugin:

I am liking BBPress but lost some confidence in W3 total when it brought down my site fully on a minify error yesterday (nice enough to send me an error message but then everything went white and had to uninstall and reinstall to complete the fix). Now realizing that it is incompatible with BBPress, I’m going to have to pull it and try to run without caching for a while and see how it goes.

Hi,
I am using the latest version of bbpress.

When I post youtube videos using the embed code (iframe) in a bbpress post, the video does not fit within the width of the textbox.

How can I make the youtube video responsive so that it always fits within the post and resizes itself with the correct aspect ratio?

[Salvatore Formisano]

Hello everyone,

as per subject I think I might have found an issue with the topics pagination.

Here are my steps to reproduce:

1) Install the bbpress plugin
2) Create a few topics, enough to have some topics pages to test. For my example I have 48 topics.
3) Go to the forum settings admin page and set the number of topics per page to a low number. I set it to 5
4) Go to the wordpress reading settings admin page and make sure that the “Blog pages show at most” number is *lower* than the topics per page number you defined during step (3). In my case, I set it to 10.
5) Finally, reach the forum topics page, e.g. http://yourwebsite.com/topics (url may vary depending on your forum settings), and start browsing page after page

When I follow these steps using the specific numbers I mentioned, as soon as I reach http://mywebsite.com/topics/page/6 wordpress loads the 404.php template.

As far as I can tell, this is what happened:

1) Up to page 5, everything was good: I saw the right topics and the right number of them per page (i.e. 5)
2) Under the hood, on the other hand, WordPress was paginating using the “Blog pages show at most” number as reference.

Proof of point (2) is that I had 48 topics, which at 10 items per page would give you 5 pages. And WordPress returned the 404.php template on page 6.
When “Blog pages show at most” is equal or smaller than “topics per page”, this issue does not present itself.

If this is in fact a bug, I guess it could have gone uncaught because there’s hardly anyone around who would display less topics per page in their forum than posts per page in their blog.
In case nobody else manages to reproduce this, I’d be happy to share more details about my setup, although it is pretty basic.

Thanks.

So I believe I’ve figured out a really simple solution to this all. My particular issue with the plugin in question in this thread is simply that it relies on users clicking a link to mark a post as read, which isn’t all that intuitive in my humblest of opinions.

Using a built in BBPress function `echo bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );` and some CSS, we can easily style unread threads.

`echo bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );` links to the latest reply in a given thread. So something like myforum.com/forum/topic/post-name/page/10/#postid-12345

When a new reply is created, that last bit there becomes #postid-12346 and is therefore a new URL, so browsers will treat it as an unvisited link. Therefor, doing something like this gets the job done:

`a:visited {color:red;}`

For anyone who’d like more detail, I’ve written a complete post on exactly how to do this: http://clicknathan.com/web-design/bbpress-read-topic/

It only involves changing one BBPress template file in your theme & adding a single line of code to your style.css file.

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you referring to Mingle Forums?

If so I could not repro this with bbPress 2.2.3 and Mingle Forums 1.0.33.3

• WordPress Role = Administrator | bbPress Role = Keymaster
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Moderator
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Participant
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Spectator

The above was all I tested but each works as expected:

[BenRacicot]

Hey!
Thought I’d ask here why on earth I (anyone) can’t see the discussion going on in my topics? I just see

“This topic contains 4 replies, has 4 voices, and was last updated by Ben Racicot 21 minutes ago.”

But only a reply field and none of those posts (that I did while testing) are shown? What am I missing? Thanks.

[Aneox]

When bbpress and mingle active in one time, forum access deny(error 404) for Participants and Moderators. Keymaster and Spectators works well. It doesnt depend on the theme.

Ive done a lot of work to customize mingle for my WP. But now i need a forum. Please help.
WP 3.5, mingle and bbpress latest versions.

Hi,

I posted this under an existing thread but there was no response, so I assume it wasn’t seen.

I set up two private forums with my WP blog, following the Getting Started steps. Everything looked great (mostly). Then I created a category (also private) and made it a Parent to the forums. I ordered the forums #1 and #2.

As soon as I did that, the forums ceased to be visible as a list on one page, though they briefly had been. I have to click on them directly (from the edit page) to see them. My members need a direct link to access them.

I changed it back to how it had been, so they could access the main forum through the navigation bar (I created a menu button). But this morning, when I went to check this in Theme 2012, I saw that they again had the category as Parent and were ordered. Like I hadn’t changed them. I don’t know what that’s about.

Btw, I’ve set this as private b/c I didn’t see a way to have people log in, so this would only be available to members. Don’t know if this is part of the issue.

I have the latest versions of WP (3.5) and bbPress (2.2.3). Find my site here.

It’s been rather difficult to work things out, even following the steps you provide, especially regarding this parent issue. Then today I made a reply to a thread and it refuses to show up, though it’s in the list of Replies on my dashboard. I know that’s a separate issue, so I can make a separate post for it.

Thank you for your time.

1. Download the latest version from the theme distributor

2. Connect to your site via FTP

3. Upload the theme to wp-content/themes

If you are not familiar with FTP, then you can

1. Go to Themes
2. Click Add New
3. Click Upload
4. Choose the .zip you downloaded and click Upload

[Mantzer]

Hey
I have an author page that is different to the default bbpress user page.
However I’d like to show the last forum topic a user started as well as their latest reply on that particular page. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot.

[Pippin Williamson]

Are you not running the latest version of your theme?

[Starejosel]

Does anyone know if TinyMCE Advanced works with WP 3.5 and BBpress 2.2.3?

Thanks!

Martin
