Hi John, yes I did.

[John James Jacoby]

Did you create any forums?

[efioanwan]

Hi, I have just downloaded bbPress. To test my forum, I created a topic and then attempted to reply to it but I get the error msg that the Forum ID is missing/not found.

What is a Forum ID? And where can I find it? What should I do next?

This is kind of urgent, please. Someone help?

2.0.3. bbPress 2.1 will be out soon? Do you have a changelog I can look over? I’m excited to see it.

Also, I’m putting my site on hiatus. I’m tired of it for a while. But you know what I would like to do? I’d like to help with bbPress. I think the total integration with WordPress that bbPress has is one of the best things ever accomplished for the blogging platform. I would love to assist, do some testing, give some of my thoughts, help promote bbPress, and even help with some new features that I have been hoping or wishing I could see in bbPress’s future.

I don’t know how much help you guys get, but it doesn’t seem like a lot. I wouldn’t ever want to see bbPress die. I want to help, if I may. I know very little about PHP or HTML, but every coder should have a team, to help with the things that coders aren’t best at. I want to help!

Hi all,

Is there any way to display the latest posts in a specific forum on a regular WordPress template page?

Thanks.

Hi there everyone,

I am new to bbpress and am currently developing my latest project (a premium forum skin / themes project).. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any feedback / thoughts.

(1) – Is it possible to display certain forums / categories to certain user-groups ? I would like to hide / make private forums for customers so only they can see their threads / staff replies.

(2) – How and where do i start editing css to blend the forums to match my website / can i create a custom bbpress style (if so how ??) Really in need of some help here.

A huge thanks in advanced for any help here, i am really looking at implementing this asap, currently weighting up using bbpress or a 3rd party script like Xenforo or something similar however the more scripts i need to bridge the messier / more long term work will be required (updates etc).

Regards, Darren

I just updated to the latest WordPress and also the newest bbPress plugin. It broke my custom theme so I went to the stock TwentyEleven theme with no modifications to bbPress.

All is OK (working) – except that I have no sidebar on my /Forums page. How can I add that so that my widgets show up? Must be simple but I just can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks ahead of time for any help offered.

Have successfully integrated bbpress 2.0.3 into twentytwelve responsive theme that was updated with WP 3.4. (Had to start again, as WP 3.4 broke another theme.) I am using it with WPMU Membership plugin and that works too. The membership is private, access to the forums shows up in the menu when a user has logged in, members are added manually.

The one thing I have not been able to do is to format (CSS) the bbpress user profile/account page. And if I enter a full path to a user account into a new browser that has no users logged in their information shows up and can be edited!!! (example: http://mysite.ca/forums/neighbours/test-user/)

This is a cross post with WPMUDEV, as their membership plugin is involved, but I am asking if there is something I can do with bbpress files to make the profile pages more secure and properly styled. Can I somehow forward the user profile to a page I can format better? Please advise. The security issue troubles me most.

Hello,

I installed bbPress no admin in a WordPress 3.4 site, I created a test user (Subscriber) and still does take the user to WordPress backend. There is anyway to troubleshoot this plugin?

Thanks,

[shanebp]

Anyone have any ideas?

Same post is here…

http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/1-6-beta-forums-setup/

Anyone else confused by the 1.6 beta – forums setup ?

Using WP 3.4, BP 1.6 beta

I’m trying to get sitewide forums working.

In wp-admin: Settings-BuddyPress-Forums

I see buttons to install: Group Forums and SiteWide Forums.

I have installed SiteWide Forums and activated it.

So why does Settings-BuddyPress-Forums still have an install button ?

And do we really need a separate bbPress plugin for site-wide forums?

I can create a new forum in wp-admin

I created a page “…com/forums”

I’ve assigned it to Discussion Forums in bp-settings – Pages

If I go to that page, I get this

“The forums component has not been set up yet.”

And the Forums link does not show up in the main nav.

In Settings- Forum -Archive Slugs – Forums base is set to ‘forums’ shows this warning:

“Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page”

If I set it to ‘forumsbb’ – the warning goes away.

If I go to Forums in wp-admin and view the forum, it takes me to

“…com/forumsbb/forum//test-forum/”

But the Forums link is still not in the main nav.

And goes to /forums still gives me

“The forums component has not been set up yet.”

How to correct those issues ?

Hi

I installed the upload avatar plugin, but I can;t see how to use it. I activated it. I noticed my test account pulled my gravatar, is this why?

TY

[John James Jacoby]

I need more specific information to be helpful. Also, the visual editor isn’t built into the template files, so they should not directly be the cause.

I run bbPress 2.1 at testbp.org with the visual editor on; so something else must be up.

[Reflecting]

I thought that the latest version of bbPress resolved the issues that cropped up with the WordPress 3.4 upgrade. However, some of the admin on our site are still getting the following out of memory error message when trying to add a new post to our site http://www.optionmillionaires.com

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 15466496) (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/optionmi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-template.php on line 558

At first I wasn’t even able to install bbPress, but our web host increased our memory limit to 64M, and I thought everything was fine. I was able to add the forum, several related bbPress plugins, and have been adding forums and topics today. However, I just got word from two of the admin that they received the above message when attempting to post. It eventually lets them, but there’s obviously something going on. Any ideas on a fix?

I’ve been using the 2.1 releases for a week or so now without much trouble. I upgraded to 2.1-r3967, and I started noticing some design issues. My CSS was no longer being completely recognized; some things were, others weren’t. It seems similar to another issue someone else was having with some template files not being recognized.

I waited a day or two and upgraded to the latest version and was still having this happen. Tried switching between the Twenty Ten and theme compatibility theme packages, and neither really changed the situation. No matter what, the CSS of the theme-compat was being used. Went in and deleted bbpress.css from bbp-theme-compat/css, and it’s fixed the problem entirely. So, something may be up with that, I think.

I’ve been searching the forum looking for solution but can’t find a straight answer.

I tried to post an embed youtube video but it doesn’t show the entire frame. The Post Content does not have enough room because the Author section is taking too much space and wanted to adjust it.

Like I wanted it to have a separate line. The Author can be on top and right below is the Post.

Any solutions that might help? Thanks!

[Anonymous User]

Here are the details:

website.com is setup for multisite with just one add-on site website.com/kittens.

Now when test registering a user for website.com everything works as normal. User is registered, receives activation email and can login.

However, after logging in the user and attempting to post a bbPress topic the following message is received:

“You cannot create new topics at this time.”

My initial thought was “Okay, 3.4, probably some hiccups to still be worked out with all these variables and all the plugin authors making the mad dash to fix unforeseeable issues that arise.”

However, after further investigation I realized what the issue was that the test user failed to be registered as website.com’s user and instead as some sort of pseudo network user hence not having the right privileges.

Thanks, Bryan

I’ve got a reasonably complex set of plugins myself.

I’ve upgraded to WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.03 with minimal issues.

I’d suggest that you’ve either got a plugin conflict and/or a theme that isn’t 3.4 compatible.

Your first port of call is to revert to the bog standard WP theme for testing and then if that doesn’t resolve things, start by disabling plugins.

And then report back here

[CoryN]

I installed the plugin, and made a forum to test it out. It says it was created and shows the link I should see it at, but when I click ‘View Forum’ wordpress gives a 404 error and the page isn’t found. Same when I manually type it in.

What could it be? I’m sure it’s an easy fix, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

Thanks for the help!

[TFUME]

I originally noticed this on my own theme which has some homemade plugins and such which I thought might be causing this so to be sure I downloaded 3967 from Trac and put it in a fresh WP3.3 install.

I then copied /bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten into the themes folder and made it a child theme of twentyeleven called bbp-child-test, after activating bbp-child-test the same happened. So to answer your question bbp-child-test is the current active theme.

archive-forum.php

archive-topic.php

ALL the page-whatever.php files

single-forum.php

These are all called by bbp as expected

single-topic-whatever.php

single-reply-whatever.php

single-user-whatever.php

These are all ignored in favor of page.php

[rmazereeuw]

Upgraded to new WP with no issues. Tried to upgrade to latest bbpress from within the plugins admin page, and get the error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

[Garbonso]

Ok .. I guess I just don’t understand exactly what is supposed to happen?

I created a New Forum. And a New Topic. Where does the forum show up?

Here is the landing page for it I guess …

http://www.shiftisgoodweb.com/living-solid/forums/

Here is the Test Topic

http://www.shiftisgoodweb.com/living-solid/forums/forum/test/

I just don’t get what I am looking at?

I figured it would be more of a list of forum topics that you can go in and read and reply to and what not.

Am I just completely missing something here?

Thanks for the replies OC2PS

[TFUME]

Is it just me or is 2.1 ignoring certain template files when using bbPress as a child theme?

To illustrate I added a backtrace to the top of form-topic.php.

When viewing a forum, template file single-forum.php is used as expected (Bottom up #:

#7  bbp_get_template_part(content, single-forum) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-contentthemesbbp-child-testsingle-forum.php:25]

#8  include(C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-contentthemesbbp-child-testsingle-forum.php) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-includestemplate-loader.php:43]

#9  require_once(C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-includestemplate-loader.php) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-blog-header.php:16]

#10 require(C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-blog-header.php) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comindex.php:17]

But then if you go into a topic and click EDIT, page.php is used to display form-topic.php even though template files single-topic.php and single-topic-edit.php both exist (Bottom up #13):

#12 get_template_part(content, page) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-contentthemestwentyelevenpage.php:22]

#13 include(C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-contentthemestwentyelevenpage.php) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-includestemplate-loader.php:43]

#14 require_once(C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-includestemplate-loader.php) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-blog-header.php:16]

#15 require(C:xampphtdocsdomain.comwp-blog-header.php) called at [C:xampphtdocsdomain.comindex.php:17]

Or am I missing something?

[enderandrew]

I’m testing 2.1 from SVN and it is working well. I had to fight with the templates and my theme to get it to display properly, but that was an issue with the theme, and not bbPress.

The only “bug” I’ve encountered so far was that wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/css/bbpress.css was loading even if I had a bbpress compatible theme with everything in my child theme and I was loading css/bbpress.css from my theme. So I was loading bbpress css twice.

I put: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); into my functions.php and that stopped. And then I removed the call to css/bbpress.css and instead just integrated into into my style.css which I prefer. When possible I like to combine the css files and reduce http get requests.

[enderandrew]

I disabled every plugin that ties into the admin bar other than Buddypress and I still had the issue. I can try disabling that as well. I’ll do some testing today and see if I can determine if it is a plugin conflict.

[Milan Petrovic]

I have seen that. But, as I say, all plugin features work fine (including toolbar integration) and nothing is broken in the WP with, tested with WP 3.4 Final and bbPress 2.1-r3920.

Please test it, and let me know.
