I have a forum with the latest bbPress called “Windows 8” and then when I tried to create a page called “Windows 8” and WordPress saves it a duplicate page, because of the forum with the same name. Is there a way to keep forums slugs away from WordPress?

Thanks,

@zaerl,

Thanks for your help,
I’m going to test it.. just a few minutes.

The problem here is that bbPress insert a FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) but WPML uses a JOIN in its tables. You can’t do that when you have a JOIN cause the correct syntax in that particular case is FORCE INDEX FOR JOIN. Try to replace the function “function _bbp_has_replies_where( $where, $query )” in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-replay-functions.php” with this: https://gist.github.com/3930162

Keep in mind that it’s not tested, I haven’t a WPML license. I do not know either if my reasoning makes sense at all.

This is a “quirk” we’ve seen before. If you have a minute or two to watch our latest video, we show you a very simple few steps that should fix this in a jiffy.

Update:

I think it’s very strange we can’t touch the defaul $slug with a custom page template!
This is totally not WordPress like.

Now i have to offer my page.php (default page template) to bbPress and make sure when i draft a new page inside my Dashboard i use a different (custom) page template to prevent my lay-out from breaking..

I tested to following:
Dashboard > New Page > Name it HELP > pick my custom Page Template with the bbPress forums index inside it > Saved it and it works 100%.

I don’t know if it’s a bug or glitch but this is totally not the way to do so, because the default slug keeps showing up in the breadcrumbs.

Hope somebody reads this..
Thanks,

Hello! I’m helping a friend with his website. He’s trying to make a community for investors. We’re having trouble with the bbPress forums. You can see that http://investorswap.com/board/forum/general-stock-talk/ works, but if you go up a level to http://investorswap.com/board it is showing the category and boards, but they aren’t clickable. I’ve never used bbPress or BuddyPress before this, so I’m pretty lost. Any help would be very appreciated! This is intended to be a site-wide forum and not group specific.

Using the latest version of WordPress, bbPress, and BuddyPress!

Thanks!

I have a custom WP_Query outside the main loop, in my header.php, and also another one in footer.php. On my Forums List page (the top/base level of bbPress that lists all my Forums), the custom WP_Query in both header.php and footer.php, no longer works. It shows another instance of the bbPress Forums List, instead of showing the correct content (as it does on every other page of my site, including all other bbPress pages). My custom WP_Query is
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'page_id' => 218
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();

the_content();
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

I also tried get_page, which also didn’t work.
$page_id = 218;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$page_content = apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
echo $page_content;

I tried using a bbPress ShortCode in a WP-Page called “Forums”, and then also without a page, just using bbPress Permalink “Forums”, without a wp-page and shortcode. Same problem either way.

Why would bbPress conflict with these core WP functions? And why would it happen ONLY on the Forums List page? I also tested this in TwentyEleven, and the problem is there too.

Hi there. The plugin is in advanced state of development. I’m testing it in very large (+10,000 auto-generated topics) env in order to ensure that it will scale well. It will be released in a few day as an alpha release on Github. I can publish it now if you want but I prefer to make some more tests.

I’m not using ck approach cause it generate problems with very large forum. Main functionalities are:

1. Users can mark an entire forum as read (use an AJAX call)
2. Users can mark a single topic as read (use an AJAX call)
3. Every visited topic is marked “read” when accessed via browser
4. Custom HTML class for unread topics
5. Custom prefix for unread forums title (“[unread] ” or similar)
6. Custom prefix for unread topics title
7. Template functions for checking the state of current forum/topic

These are the functionalities of the first soon-to-be alpha. I think that in future release I will add something like: custom loop for unread topic (maybe a separate page), count of unread topics, mark a forum as “always read” and other stuff.

Who is an adventurous can write me at za@zaerl.com, I will send you back the prototype.

Hello… using pagelines, and have installed bbpress. Forum seems to be working fine, but the alignment of the header text for the columns… e.g., topic, posts, voices, freshness… is off…not aligned horizontally. If you can let me know how to edit the CSS for this particular piece, I’d really appreciate it. Also, possible to change the column header text? If so, how? THANKS http://www.powelltatewptest.com.php5-22.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?forum=gear-swap Also, seems like the topic title is in the wrong place… should be left-aligned, then “started by” should go underneath.. just like this forum. Thoughts on how to fix?

Hi everyone!

I’m using bbPress (last version, with lastest WP too in a single site) and have the General Forums activated (not the group ones). I activated the option to use the WP WYSIWYG visual editor for the comments, which had a black background and a white text color. Usually it worked very well, but one day (too far ago), the color of the text changed to gray (check the image below).

I don’t remember changed anything on the code. Maybe it was a plugin update or something like that, but I couldn’t change it back.

Thanks!

I have a WP blog for which I needed a forum and bbPress was my choice. However, the WP theme I am using for the blog has a get_posts() query on the sidebar to display the 3 latest blog posts. Now after installing the bbPress it shows only the bbPress forum topics, since that is the latest 3 activity on the site. How do I stop bbPress forums topics form showing up as posts in the sidebar?

[sethshoultes]

This was a test.

[David]

Apologies; I haven’t had a change to test this yet. Home with two sick kids, then got sick myself. I’m going to try to knock this out either tomorrow or Friday.

[ThePhat32]

I just changed the theme and it seemed to work with my test account. Seems I will have to talk to the theme makers and see if they can fix the issue. Thanks for the heads up 🙂

[creditrepair]

I do have another question, however.

I just put in some test forums and topics.

When I go to http://www…com/forum nothing is there. It just blank.

However, if I go to http://www…forum/%5Bname of any forum] it will show that forum.

Why does the home page of the forum “…/forum/” not show all of the forums in the forum?

Thanks,

Robbie

I am using the latest wordpress and latest bbpress.

I can recreate it. It was the first thing I did before posting here in fact :P. Being a software dev it was step 1. I created a new user account the same as all my users, I made a post on a forum and also tried replying to 1. I then clicked the edit button, it opened the edit form which showed all of the wordpress posts. When I use my Key Master account, I don’t see this, I am able to edit properly. Same goes for my other admins who have been editing there posts

Are you using the latest versions of bbPress/WordPress?

I’ve never heard of this happening at all since 2.0 has been released. I have no cluet what’s going on, but we’re going to need a lot more information.

Can you duplicate this?

We need to know the steps taken to “break” it. Specifically, what “edit” link did she click? On what post? When it took her to the edit page, what was the full URL? That sort of information.

You need to ask the user for step by step direction on how this occurred. We need to duplicate it to see if it is indeed a real bug or just something breaking on your site due to a theme/plugin conflict. 🙂

Hello,

I am just wondering if this is how it suppose to work. I was testing the user’s page in bbpress and I update my bio and when I hitted the update profile button it seemed that it worked ok. Later on I was in my WordPress user profile when I noticed that most of my settings were reset to defaults. I shouldn’t updated my profile through bbPress? Or there is a bug?

Thanks,

PS: I am using WP 3.4.2 and bbP 2.1.2

Hi Guys,

I have no idea what has happened to my forums – they were up and running fine for a little while but have recently fallen apart on me.

Am running the Pagelines Framework, latest versions of BBPress, Buddypress and WordPress.

Have tried deactivating recently installed plugins with no success. If anyone could suggest what may be going on that would be greatly appreciated

Apologies in advance if I have not provided enough info – if you need anything else, please just ask. I am new around these parts 🙂

Hi,

how do I exclude addthis from my forum posts. There are no addthis checkbox in the post area so I suppose that I have to put some code in the bbpress forum template?

Best regards Claes

[Jared Atchison]

Sorry I misunderstood what was going on, thanks for the link. First make you are running the latest version of bbPress, then switch bbPress to using the bbp-theme-compat theme instead of bbp-twentyten. See if that fixes it 🙂

If it doesn’t then we will have to start making edits to your site theme.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m sure this won’t help, but just out of curiosity are you on the latest version of WordPress/bbPress?

[Flight777]

Thanks for the anwser. Yes I’m using the latest version. The compat theme does form to the two column lay-out (normally not visible on the other pages, only used for the login part of the forum). TwentyTen does not: http://www.verantwoordnalaten.com/versie2/forums/topic/test/
