Ok, sorry for that… Still, im am new to all this. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. But what exactly should i be looking for in the css code? I tried testing the default bbpress theme and the problem is not there… So yes, this is a theme problem… :/

[ochiba77]

I tried this with the latest version 2.1.3 and get erros. Anyone success with the latest version?

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress and set up a test forum.

When viewing the forum it show me a nice full-width page without sidebar, but when I click on a topic, bbpress redirects me to a full-width forum page with the sidebar under the forum (while it shouldn’t show up).

Has anyone an idea how I can fix this?

How it should be: http://www.gebetendoorhonden.be/forum/

sidebar showing (wrong): http://www.gebetendoorhonden.be/forums/forum/te-koop-aangeboden

btw: this also happens with standard wordpress-themes (twenty-ten). I select full-width page and when clicking on topics I get redirected to page with sidebar!?

Dear regards,
Bart

Hi Everybody, Guys !! ^_^
Please, I have a question.
My Forums shows me this message:

The qTranslate Editor has disabled itself because it hasn't been tested with your WordPress version yet. This is done to prevent WordPress from malfunctioning. You can reenable it by clicking here (may cause data loss! Use at own risk!). To remove this message permanently, please update qTranslate to the corresponding version.

The point is that: Even if when I’ve installed the bbPress qTranslate was not updated, so this message was right … Now qTranslate it is updated, but by the way bbPress doesn’t seems to see the change and it doesn’t shows me forum-contents by language.

The 1.st link in the message (reenable qTranslate) doesn’t works …
What to do, please, if I want to build a multi-language Forum ??

Another deal:
Why bbPress shows me this ugly editor ??

If I click on Visual then it is good, but the 1-st one is the defaul one …

THANK YOU !!
Pietro

The topic title “Navigating Through The Program” is a topic I created in the forum “New Members” of my site. I have a test username and have tried the role of User and Contributor and they can see the title of the topic, but when they click on the topic, only the reply is there and they can’t see the actual topic’s content which the Administrator wrote. How do I get my members to see the topics and posts? I only want them to see and reply on the posts and forums, as well as create their own topics and forums but not create pages or posts in WordPress.

[John James Jacoby]

Unclear why the theme would have BBP_Theme_Compat code in it? It certainly doesn’t come with the Toolbox theme.

I just tested bbPress 2.1.3 and:

* Works fine with Toolbox, out of the box.
* Works with with BuddyPress.
* Works fine without BuddyPress.

If you made modifications to Toolbox, or have some custom code in a child theme of Toolbox, that’s likely the cause, though I don’t see how 2.1.3 is the problem, unless you modified files in the bbPress plugin yourself.

I have tried many times to use the migration plug in and I cannot get it to work. So I have put an ad up on oDesk if anyone is interested in helping me out.

---

An aside:

I will save my long rant about how poor the documentation for this process is because frankly I am exhausted and exasperated. You guys work so hard and do such good work, but you drop the ball on the simple issue of documentation, so people’s experience with your amazing product (I’ve been using it for 5 years) is one of frustration and anger.

If you create a tool/wizard to help non-web developers use your complicated product you cannot assume they are web developers. Spell things out provide details.

For example: Don’t say “Database Server: Leave as ‘localhost’ unless your hosting provider requires you to use an IP address.”

Instead say something like “Database Server: This is the name of the database server where your OLD data base is located, normally it is “localhost” (no quotes), but sometimes it has a different name or you must provide the IP address of the server. This varies based on how the company where you host your website has things set up.”

Notice the details that a developer probably does not need, but the average user you created the wizard for will need and will get tripped up by.

I am a data scientists. I program all day and I have sent 4 or 5 hours trying to get the migration to work and still no dice.

BBPress Message Board Migration: Step 1 upgrade database
Fixed Price Project – Est. Budget $20.00 – Posted 13 minutes ago

Job Description
I have a site that is currently using bbPress 1.1-alpha-2539 and I need to finally move to the latest plug-in wordpress version. I need help with the entire process, but this ad is for step 1, migrating the database.

What I want from you is a detailed step by step set of instructions for migrating my database to the new format. I am a programer and data scientist, but have no experience with the tech BBpress is built on, I have played around with the wizards found here:

http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

I am obviously missing something because they do not work for me. I will provide you with whatever you need so you can work out what the steps are, and I want you to provide for me:

1) First things first, before you start anything I want you to provide me with a back up of my existing database. If it makes sense to do this in multiple formats then lets do the top 3.

2) Start with the step by step instructions found here:

http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

This is not detailed enough because I cannot follow it a get it to work. So you are to add to these step-by-step instructions so that I can do the migration myself when the time comes.

You are free to create new databases as you test out the migration methods, but once you are done I want you to clean up after yourself leaving none of the new databases on my server.

Qualifications: You must know BBpress and WordPress very well, I want someone who can help me with this and other steps in the process (They will be posted to oDesk as new jobs, but I would like to work with the same person throughout the process.). I need someone who can customize or build plug-ins for BBPress if we discover there is a need for a functionality that is not available. You must also be good with databases and able to tell me how to purge certain records based on given criteria. I am also interested in integrating a Wiki with the message board, so your thoughts on that would be helpful too.

In your application please tell me about your experience with BBpress.

Thanks,

[dk9]

Hi, I’m trying to figure out what am I doing wrong. It is a fresh install of latest BBpress and wordpress. Installation went just fine. It is possible to enter a specific forum, but when i’m trying to access the forum root it shows me this 1 line instead of the list of the forums:
> סנטור › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness b mn 0 0 No Topics
Link the site: santur.co.il/forums
I got this feeling that its some small tick in a configuration file but i’m quite clueless on how to approach it. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks, Daniel

Hi! Like from object… can i change a reply to a topic?
– Latest bbpress plugin release and latest wp release 😉

• Thanks in advance, DarkWolf 🙂

[kannued]

Reread your message @netweb. I also installed the bbpress plugin, ver 2.1.3. It appears it may have worked, see below. It still says I have no forum parents, even though I have 5 forums. I can’t see anything when I go to visit site, as I still have 1 post as in the fresh default of WP. Doesn’t the bbpress plugin also convert the theme that I used into WP? Or now do I have to build my old bbpress theme into WP?

I have the same issue with bbpress, with latest wordpress and buddypress

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ___b7gQGU

Any idea? Thanks!

[eek]

I have installed bbPress, and I have search the forum everywhere and I have no such things as User Title in Edit Profile, neither in Profile, in Users in WordPress.

My question is, how can I change the Custom Title of different users, or of all. From “Key Master” to something else.

Also I have installed the “Add custom usergroups” plugin that’s somewhere here on the forums, but don’t have the slightest ideea where to select a group to a user.

Thanks.

[alexturn]

Is there a dummy content file anywhere to test the forums? I am making my own theme and could really do with a forum full of content!

Thanks

[bjj_pl]

Hi, does anyone know how to display latest topics on front page? To be more specific I want them to appear just like normal wordpress posts do. New topics are shown just like new posts. Does anyone know a aplugin that does that or any other suggestions? I don’t need another sidebar widget for bbpress plugin. I can do styling on my own but can’t handle with coding.
please help

[chibichiii]

Thnx this solved my can’t call upon latest topics issues. Is there a way to change it to unread topics?

Update: Okay too bad didn’t exactly solve the problem because as soon as you try to navigate the pages from the shown topics. Than you get a 404 error.

Thank you very much for the quick response. In the course of following up with your suggestion I discovered that my problem is actually not a broken process, but one that is severely delayed. I posted a test reply to a topic and then was called away for a couple of hours. When I came back the reply was there just as it should be. So the forum is working but suffering a lot of lag.

I can imagine that the issue causing this may fall outside of the scope of this forum, but if anyone is willing to suggest possible next steps to solve the problem I would be grateful. The forum is hosted with a major provider on a more than basic level service plan and does not typically suffer from lag. I do notice that when I save topics or replies it can take 10-15 seconds to process. That was not the case with the stand-alone bbPress we had.

[grex22]

AWESOME! I figured that was the issue after my testing yesterday — but couldn’t track down the query in core to fix it myself.

How close is 2.2 to release? Would you be nervous upgrading a 2.0.2 install to 2.2 at this point?

Thanks for the update on this, JJJ

I was making an edit in WP using the editor tool and now I’m getting this error

 I tried copying over the files it mentions as well as the header.php file I was editing but no luck. I can still see my site and everything seems to be functioning fine I just can't get to the backend WP version 4.2.1 (i think) bbpress - the latest retreadwerks.com/wordpressNew/

There is not currently a shortcode capable of doing this.

HOWEVER!!
There is a way of accomplishing this and so much more with a plugin.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/network-latest-posts/

If you have ever had to deal with multisite and switch_to_blog() before, then this plugin is going to blow your mind away. Hands down my #1 rated plugin of the year 🙂

[mrmonkey3319]

I love the layout: http://bbpress.org/forums/ The forums on the left, and a big Latest Topics are on the right. Tags and such in the left too. I keep reinstalling my bbPress but no matter what I do, I cannot get my forums to show up like this. See here:

http://covenantvoice.com/forums/

I just want to fix the layout. Any idea on what I’m doing wrong? I’m using the very latest bbPress, 2.1.2.

@John

First I want to thank you for bbPress as I use it a lot. 🙂

I had same question like OC2PS from long time and after reading your answers, I still feel an urge to take this discussion ahead. IMHO what OC2PS suggested is intuitive.

With references to your answers:

> Taxonomies don’t have metadata, to allow for topic & replies counts or latest content

(Not one of best suggestion) Taxonomy-meta can be stored in an extra mysql-table. I wish like many other this to be part of WordPress core though (ref)

Once we accept overhead of extra DB table, other things seems easy.

> Comments don’t allow for attachments without some major work

Comments already have commentmeta. May be we can use it to store array of attachment_id.

Off-topic – By the way I did not find attachments support in bbPress out of the box? I am using a bbPress plugin for that. Am I missing something here?

> The API for custom post types is farther along…

Agree. 🙂

Post-revision is an example which I guess used internally to track edits to replies.

==

While the outcome bbPress is good in reality, it just feels off-beat to have 3 custom-posts.

IMHO, going with 1 custom-post+commets+custom-taxonomy way might have made themeing part easier…

[Keith Kelly]

Is there any shortcode that would allow me to display a forum from one of my other sites on a multisite installation?

I was hoping to display the latest topics of a forum from site “X” on site “Y” because they share interests. I am hoping to do that with shortcode and not a theme change because I am using the same theme across all of my sites.

[matrixd]

Hi zaerl, I have send you an email (studiomatrixdesign AT gmail.com) for a plugin testing!
Thanks

[lucianoippolito]

Hello,

I have bbpress and buddypress installed in my site. I have “user groups” turned off in buddypress and “enable group forums” turned off too in bbpress.

Despite this I still have a Forums link (which belongs to group furum) in my user activity page menu (not the site-wide activity page), this page is showing links to my activity, my profile, my messages, my friends, my forums and my configuration.

Why is the forums link showing in this menu if I have group and group forums disabled? It should not exist.

Besides this, this Forums link is linking to a wrong url, it is linking to luchotv.com/forums and the group forums page I have set for this is luchotv.com/foro-grupos in the buddypress pages configuration.

In fact this page (http://www.luchotv.com/foro-grupos/) shows the group forums info and I think it shouldn’t even exist.

I am running the latest versions of everything.

Please tell me how can I fix this problem?

Thank you,
Luciano

Hello,

I have a dev version of my website so sorry but you have to enter the password and the username: dev/dev1234

My problem is with the profile page, if you check it you can see the header with the AMS name not fits perfectly. So I want to change. If I change it the header is change every post page.

If you check the css classes you can see the following: post-1693 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-vice-city tag-evfordulo tag-focimdal

I don’t know why but the profile page get the latest posts css classes. Why?

The posts url: http://dev.codenamegta.hu/2012/majamihiroz-vice-city-focimdala/

The profile url: http://dev.codenamegta.hu/forumok/tagok/ams/

How can I disable the redirection after the registration? It’s very annoying if the user the a login registration form with different design.

Thank you very much!
