I was able to get this to work using a custom page.php file, some sql to pull the data and a truncate function to minimize the number of characters replied. You can view the result of my work at: dev [dot] silverdoctors [dot] com/topic/testing-topic/.

The final thing that would be really cool is to have the ability to have a jquery loader that when a button is clicked, would load, lets say, 10 more recent site-wide forum replies. Or even better yet, a jquery function designed to automatically load new content at the bottom of the screen (by appending to a DOM element) when the user scrolls beyond the element, much like Facebook does with their status updates.

Do you know if anyone has ever done something like this with bbPress? Would you be able to guide me as I go through with this next step of adding the jquery?

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately I’m having another minor hiccup in my bbPress 2.1 implementation. I’ve done some fairly heavy modifying of bbpress user profile pages, and somewhere along the line I have induced wordpress to flag profiles as error-404.

My site homepage is http://tamrielfoundry.com, which can be accessed using username=test and password=test.

My own user profile page http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/atropos/ works just fine, no 404.

A different user (who has not made any posts, which could be the cause) gets error-404 as a class in the body declaration. http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/blade/

Regardless, the fact that this content is getting flagged as 404 doesn’t seem to affect the page actually displaying the relevant content, however obviously it would be preferable if I can get the site to recognize user pages for existing users as non-404.

Let me know if I can provide any relevant info, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am still having this issue, unfortunately. Although I worked out enough of the technical details of bbPress 2.1 to port the plugin/templates/css over to the live (development) site.

If it would be helpful to see what I’m talking about you can access http://tamrielfoundry.com with username: test, password: test.

The bbpress CSS + some other scripts are being loaded in the head site-wide, and I can’t figure out the correct conditional syntax to remove them unless is_bbpress() is true.

I’m using BuddyPress on a MU environment.

Originally I installed forum in a per group mode. I found the topic organization to be confusing in the group mode, and so now I would like to reinstall the forum with the site-wide option. How do I do this?

I’ve tried to use the graphic interface to uninstall groups and install sitewide – but that didnt work, the group forum would continued to get re-enabled.

So here is what I’ve done so far:

1) I’ve deleted from the database all the tables related to the bbpress.
2) I’ve deleted the bb-config from the root.
3) I’ve edited the group-metadata and group tables to remove references to forum.
4) I’ve deleted the bbpress plugin from the file system.
5) I’ve edited the Settings/Forums to not use groups.

So now after trying to purge all remnants of the forum and then trying to reinstall it – I no longer have a functional forum.

In BuddyPres/Forums, I see the button that says “install site-wide forum” but when I click on it I see a message that the latest version is already installed.

When I try to view my forum, I get a blank page:

http://bhaktiwriters.staging.wpengine.com/forums/forum/bhakti-writers-forum/

When I try to view a new topic, I get the following error:

http://bhaktiwriters.staging.wpengine.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in /nas/wp/www/staging/bhaktiwriters/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php on line 137″

I’m playing with this on a staging site, so I can demolish everything and start from the point of a working group-forum.

So, any idea how I can convert from group-forum to site-wide-forum? I don’t care about loosing data.

Thanks!

I use bbpress for site wide forums and for buddypress group forums. It works fine. Didnt install buddypress’s tweaked version.

I set the number for both topics and replies at 5. But cant navigate to the rest of the topic list and replies.

Hi. It’s been less than a day, on a weekend. I kindly ask that you please dial back your expectations.

That said, I can’t duplicate what you’re experiencing, and it would be a great help to have more information to assist you. What theme are you using? Did you customize it? What plugins are you using? Have you tried disabling them to see if there is a conflict?

Pagination, and adjusting the values, works fine. I’ve set them to ‘5’ at testbp.org so you can see for yourself:

3.4.1 + 2.1 Hi, not sure if this is a bug or feature but when a user is creating a new topic the post does not show up aferwards … only for the admin. So this seems a right problem but I test it with all set to public. When the creator clicks on edit the post content shows up again … wired.

UAM – user access manager plugin deactivated and problem gone but that is not a solution. Any idea how to fix it?

Why is the topic body missing on the single topic view for all but the admin??? Please help.

Thanks and cheers, alex

First you set the posts globally to 15, as suggested above.

Then you will need to setup a custom list for the front page. Is it the latest 5 topics you want on the front page? If so you could do something like this.

(If my answer is not correct it’s too hot to read again!)

[atomnet]

The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

Yes 🙂

[Lynq]

Do you mean like one of the following?

In the sidebar a list of recent topics on bbPress.
A bbpress post inside the loop of your homepage posts.
The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

All the best, Lynq.

[Buovjaga]

Yes, I’m trying to locate some blocking replies to send to netweb for testing.

JJJ: does this logic mean it skips the first post in topic: LEFT JOIN phpbb_topics AS topics USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id != topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 470, 1

I think if this is true, I can’t just look at my phpbb_post row 470 in phpmyadmin, but would have to run a modified query to display the exact offending post.

[Stephen Edgar]

Create a page (or edit an existing page) and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to that page.

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[andersvinther2]

I’ve noticed that the main forum url (http://bbpress.org/forums/) shows Latest Topics….

On my site it shows the list of forums.

Is that easy to change?

I haven’t been able to find any settings for this 🙂

Hello,

I’m have a little bit of an issue with both TinyMCE & the Password Strength Indicator in user profile editor. Both of which seem to be invisible – space for them in the CSS has been provided but nothing displays. Are they supposed to be installed separately?

I’m running the latest version of WordPress & bbPress

[chintan1205]

Great work James ! one more small thing would like to bring to your notice, Under Admin page of user having capability as Forum moderator (twenty Eleven theme 1.4) no topics or replies are shown, though one test topic is created count for All(1) Published(1). Once again Great Job.

[viktora]

No John.:-) I was using multiple methods for displaying my forum just for testing purpose. Now, the status is that I do NOT have any page with shortcode. I just modified the Forum base slug to /discussion/. Suddenly the historical /forums/ forum base slug started to work in the way I expected and the new slug /discussion/ works in the same wrong way as /forums/ did before.

Couple of questions:
Why is the /forums/ slug working after it was modified in the admin area (forum base slug)? It should not be visible at all.
Why is the new /discussion/ forum base slug ignoring page-front-forums.php file? Compared to the /forums/ slug which accepts whe template file ok.

Hi,

I seem to have successfully migrated my bbpress database (1.1) into the latest (2.11) wordpress plugin version. The problem is I dont want the wordpress “site” at all – just the forum (as it used to be in its standalone version – accessed via a link from my main site menu).

In addition I can only access the forum at present via the dashboard and ‘view’. It does not appear as a menu command on the wordpress “site” or anywhere else on that page. How does one find the forums at all on that “home” page?

What I am trying to do is recreate what I had before (with custom template too) under this new setup. I would not have moved to Wpress but was forced to as the bbpress 1 forum is getting chinese spammers every day and the registration approval plugin doesnt work at all.

I hope this is clear enough for some good help/advice! I cannot find any good simple steps to convert the one into the other. Do I have to base my entire site on WordPress now (will have to junk wpress if I am forced to do that!) or can I recreate what I had before when bbpress was a standalone forum?

Thanks

Patrick

[Stephen Edgar]

Try creating a page called ‘forum-test’ and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

[viktora]

Hi John, this is what I did when using the shortcode in my page created with slug /forums-test/. It worked well. But what if I do not want to use the shortcodes? The /forums/ page is ignoring my customized page-front-forums.php. I tried to edit the page slug from /forums-test/ to /forums/ but the system is insisting on slug /forums-2/ (created automatically by the system). How should I make the bbpress to use my customized page-front-forums.php file on /forums/? Ideally without shortcodes?

I tried to change the slug for

I have done the latest posts thing fairly quickly, this would be the same for creating a widget I believe.

http://pastebin.com/AyyyQVVV

Displays the latest 5 posts.

Hi I have a couple of queries I hope you can help with..

I would like to add a widget into my sidebar that displays the content of the last few posts created on any of the forums on the site. The wordpress widgets Latest Posts and Latest Comments don’t work and the existing bbpress ones don’t contain the actual posts. I have read various posts on this and I think I may have to write something myself to do this. However I wanted to check first if there is another way of getting this from bbpress other than creating a new widget?

The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this? Thanks 🙂

[auco]

Hello,

since the update to bbPress 2.1 I get the following PHP error msg, when I am posting a new message. The message is posted and everything is fine, except for this error to pop up:

http://www.mydomain.de/blog/forums/users/auco/
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-content/plugins/
bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php:1012)
in /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

I already followed this post from 4 years ago: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages/ and the relevant informations on codex.wordpress.org. I also made sure I’m running the latest stable PHP5 version.
Of course I’m also running the latest WP and have as few plugins as possible.

But I really can’t figure out how to suppress this message.
Any help is appreciated.

[pinkdreambox]

Hi, John thanks for the reply.

I noticed the url for the user in bbPress is support/users/test (support is the forum base) but like the question when clicked the Favorites in bbPress it will take me to the BuddyPress powered 2nd site and show Page Not Found.

Is there a redirect I can do to make users see their bbPress profiles and manage the favorites and subscriptions on the main site.

Will Favorites and topic subscriptions from bbPress be integrated with BuddyPress in 1.6?

Best regards,

[John James Jacoby]

Don’t see any obvious reason there would be any conflict. There isn’t over on testbp.org. Most likely something with the theme isn’t cooperating.
