It’s just the shortcode forum when I post it into a page: http://www.bookkus.com/test-forum/

If I use the other forum it looks like this: http://www.bookkus.com/forums-2/

[Lynq]

To get the latest discussions on my forum I added it into the top of loop-forums.php this could be a good place along with loop-topics.php

good luck!

[Bookkus]

I am having some trouble with the layout of my forum. Once I add the shortcode to a new page the layout goes very strange. I have tried going to full-width with no result.
I am using custom community theme. My buddypress, wordpress, and bbpress are fully updated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Still won’t work.

I went back to the twentyten theme for further testing and found that after removing the entire bbpress-functions file the quoting feature still worked. So my problem from what I perceive isn’t in the functions? Now I’m confused.
I’m going to take a fresh GD BBpress tools plugin download again and see if that works.

I am owner/Admin, but I cannot post a topic. bbPress says I do not have permission to do so. I also signed in as a test user and still not able to post.

I have made sure I turned off all plugins to test. Then turned back on only a few. I have checked and made sure that “Member” is the default “registered user” and the the Member profile had post topic capabilities still no go..

I switched to default 2010 theme ands still a no go – I am in but forum says I am logged out. In each theme – the login does not show me as Admin or Owner.

My traffic has slowed way down because of this and I just found it! Still have lots of people signing up but it appears that no one can post. I suspect user roles issue, but I have changed everyone to “Member” and still a no go.

I am desperate! Any help is appreciated. Shep

Forum is at http://www.stratoliner.me

HI,

My my name is E.J. and I’m enjoying your product!

After updating to that latest version of WordPress and bbPress, I began to experience truncations in of replies to the topic threads in my forums. Everything was working well before the upgrades but now it appears that it’s not calling the proper CSS styles to the reply areas after the initial post, perhaps there’s a conflict with the theme styles. . . I’m not sure.

If there’s any advice you can offer I would greatly appreciate it.

…………………………….

Here are the stats to my site::

WordPress: 3.4.1

bbPress: 2.1 – bbPres Default -/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat

(Theme) Custom Community: 1.819.1 by Themekraft

…………………………….

You can see an example here:

Yesterday I offered to help write some copy for bbPress.org, so this is the first of many such posts in a series of sorts as I work my way through the pages and contents in question.

Today I’ve been looking at the examples page. This page is not linked to yet, but we’ll sort that out once we’re happy with the page itself.

Also, down the line bbPress should simply have its own “flavor” on the WordPress Showcase site, coupled with a custom page on bbpress.org that pulls information from there, much like how the BuddyPress showcase probably already works. But since that might take a while (all I know is it’s beyond my capabilities) I figured a static page would serve as a good substitute in the meantime.

Styling

I realized that a common question that’s going to be popping up as I work on these pages is “Changes to bbpress.org vs Changes to my article formatting“. So when I give this feedback, know that I probably have a reasonable workaround for it in mind already if you don’t agree with the proposed changes.

• Page headers – Either make them take charge of the page (more prominent than h1) or don’t show them at all. One of my favorite examples of a beautifully dominant page title is WooThemes’ Optimize.
• On my test site (also where my images are currently loaded from because I don’t have that privilege here yet) I used captions to achieve some simple compartmentalization. It seems the bbpress.org theme doesn’t have any styling for captions yet. Furthermore, on hover they expand slightly instead of highlighting in some other way (e.g. a shadow overlay), making the content below shift downwards slightly, which looks weird.
• The showcase codex page should be retired.

Your input is most welcome, including my choice of “featured” items.

I think the difficult part about sidebars is knowing what the sidebar is called or what ID it is.

You could probably add this into your functions file if you know the id of the sidebar you want to hide, I haven’t tested it though.

Worth a shot!

It looks like this is my solo topic.:-) So I continue contributing. Here is my progress in resolving the isue described above.

I have created bbpress-extras directory in MYTHEME directory. All files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras were copied into this directory. Than I edited bbpress-functions.php (copied to MYTHEME directory). Following code looks to be promising

function bbpress_custom_template() {
if ( is_bbpress() ) {
require_once ( 'bbpress-extras/page-front-forums.php');
exit;   
}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'bbpress_custom_template');

This is the result: http://poradci-sobe.cz/forums/

This looks like this is the way how my custom template files can be stopped to be ignored by bbpress. At least the first file I am testing – page-front-forums.php. I will try to make the condition more precize and to create special condition for each template file I want to use.

Does anybody know, why this approach creates as many forum lists as the number of forum is?? Each forum lists is the same except forum name is different. I would expect there will be only one forum lists without any name.

I am looking for JJJs answer saying “this is a very poor solution”. I am trying my best. Sorry for that.:-)

hi,

i’ve just installed bbpress 2.1 on a test site and am loving it. great job and many thanks to all, especially (of course) jjj.

so far the new theme compatibility seems to be working just fine (and MUCH easier to set up) with my simple twentyten child theme.

however, there are very weird problems with the mobile theme from the wptouch pro plugin (for example, with wptouch pro switched on, the blog is displaying forum topic titles without any blog or forum content). what makes this especially weird is that i did have wptouch pro working with bbpress 2.0.

i’ve asked for help on the bravenewcode support forum, but they don’t offer official support for wptouch with bbpress (although, as per usual, emilio is willing to a look)…. so i thought i’d ask here too as wptouch mobile theme plugin might be something of interest to bbpress users and some of you may have a suggestion.

thanks for any ideas to try…;

[John James Jacoby]

John, my site was running fine. The only thing I did was pdated bbPress and now the whole site is down. I am at a loss as to where to start looking. I am using a child theme.

Could be anything. Plugin conflict, theme issue, etc… Will need tons more information. I’d suggest reverting bbPress back to an old version if it’s critical to get your site back up immediately, and doing a bit of testing to figure out what the incompatibility is before updating.

If it’s a bbPress bug, clearly we want to fix it so no one has the same issue in the future.

[Martin]

Oh power to you for being so incredibly helpful, Lynq.
I tested it out on my local machine and that works beautifully – THANK YOU!

Interestingly enough, all that other stuff didn’t make much difference, other than turn the brackets and commas that are the counts after the sub-forums into numbers. I reverted back to the default loop-single-forum.php to return to the correctly format.

Just waiting for the cache CSS to deploy but it is going to work now.
You’ve been extremely patient and instructive so again, heaps of praise to you, mate.

[Anonymous User 5853594]

Nice job on the upgrade JJJ!
I like the new look of the site and forums, and I agree with Erlend to include the latest blogpost on the frontpage.

[viktora]

Hi Syndicate, the troubles are not things pushed together (will be resolved later by styling). Trouble is that the root template files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras are ignored moved into wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/. This bahaviour was tested on page-front-forums.php file. Compared to file bbpress-functions.php which is not ignored if moved to wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/. Than, it is not clear to me what to do with directories /css and /js from bbp-theme-compat if I want to use them in my custom theme.

[Erlend]

Loving it!

Some “could be nice”s:

Frontpage: I think the 1-3 latest blog posts ought to be shown prominently somewhere on the front page.

Forum: Have you considered using the excellent WP Markdown plugin for this forum? I find it to be a really clever, future-proof alternative to bbcode.

Looks great! On the forums main page though it says “Forums” at the top instead of “Latest Topics”.

[StudioManager]

Well i am more than willing to test any fix 🙂 just point me to the file 😛

Hi guys

Just to add to my latest reply above, I started a conversion with row limis = 100 and delay time = 1 and it was succesfull up to the lines 700-799. The conversion cannot pass that point. Whatever I do. It hangs always at 799.

Thank You

Hi all. I have successfully implemented BBPress 2.1 on my WP with custom template. Now, I am trying for almost one week to customize the default bbpress theme. Based on the description here I have
– created the bbpress directory like “wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/bbpress”
– copied all files from “bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/” to the new directory above (I have checked that the all modifications of these files in my theme are visible on the website front end
– as part of my testing I have moved the root file page-front-forums.php out of /bbpress/extras into the root of my theme

BUT – no change on the forum front end (mywebsite.com/forums) – the system shows the forums as content of page based on the page.php template file (including left and right sidebars), the page-front-forums.php file is ignored. What is wrong?

BTW, the new forum design here is really great! Could you publish the template files used pls?:-)

Hey guys, today I installed bbpress on my wordpress blog. But I suddenly face a problem. After i entered mydomain.com/forums i say all the categories. Then when i click on a category it opens a page with this write :

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/mileyray/public_html/wp-content/themes/especial/libraries/breadcrumb.php on line 88

the line that it underlines is: echo get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, $markup, FALSE );

I’m using the latest version of wordpress 3.4.1

Please help me! Thx in advance.

I want to run a contest where a random topic created during a specified date range wins a prize. Is there a plugin that can pull a “random” topic out of the database?

[ryanburgeriowa]

I want to show latest threads from our bbpress installation in the first forum on our homepage http://www.3xwrestling.com/new in a widget if possible and also on http://www.3xwrestling.com/new/3xw-interact/

Can someone please help me on how I do that integration between wordpress and bbpress.
