Hey,

For some reason, when I create a 6th forum under a category, it’s not shown. Posts from the forum still show up in latest posts widget and so on, but not in index anywhere.

I was using Human Test for 8 months on a standalone 1.0.2 forum and it worked fine for our small population (100 members). This week it suddenly stopped working and wouldn’t let anyone register.

I tried to post a comment over in the bbpress Plugin Browser forum in the Human Test section, but I can’t post any comments over there, for some reason, despite being logged in.

So I turned on Akismet which claimed it blocked 24 spams the first night, and counted 9 Hams. What the heck is Ham? And there appears to be no way to review the spams to check for false positives?

Plus, I got 60 new registrants in 8 hours, and Akismet appears to do nothing to mark the spammers. Their web site is kinda skimpy on bbpress details, though I have sent a message to Tech Support.

I don’t have an associated blog.

Will upgrading to bbpress 2 make the spam situation any better?

I’m building a site focused around bbpress 2.x. My users don’t Blog.

When users click on Avatars or the User name in the forums they have been getting “Page Not Found”, EXCEPT for the Admin. And from further testing, I’ve concluded that unless a user makes a Blog post, their Activity Profiles cannot be found.

This maybe old news, or just due to the way this Newbie put the site together, but my search of the bbpress forums only turned up requests for help with this problem, but no answers.

If there is another solution to making forum users Activity Profiles ‘visible’, I’d appreciate learning how to do so.

Hi, im testing bbpress. thanks

Ok! Good Bye!

I’ve been using Human Test successfully for 8 months with bbpress standalone 1.0.2. Today it stopped working, accusing all registrants that they are a bot.

I tried to leave a comment over in the Plugins forum in the Human Test topic, but I can’t post a comment there; clicking Add Comment does nothing.

What’s up with bbpress all of sudden?

[baldg0at]

Just checking to see if anyone can answer my latest 2 questions.

Thanks

My forum topics and replies show up properly in the activity stream on by buddypress site, however, when I choose Show New Forum Topics or Show Forum Replies to filter the activity – it fails to display the latest activity. The stuff it shows is three months old.

I’ve done a recount, but that didn’t fix it. You can see for yourself here: http://teatra.de/activity

You can see that the actual posts from the forum are getting added to the stream, just that you can filter the stream by them (its showing outdated stuff). Why isn’t the filter able to display the current stuff?

[mudechevy]

See the author box here: http://www.wisewahm.com/forum/topic/test-2/? It looks like I’m missing an opening or closing tag somewhere and I can’t figure out what file to check. I’m using bbpress & buddypress with the buddyboss theme.

[John James Jacoby]

You can use bbp_get_forum_last_active_id() to get the post ID of the latest topic or reply. From there you’ll have to use WordPress functions to get out what you need.

(This, of course, is assuming you’re using bbPress 2.0 or beyond)

I have spent countless hours trying to solves this but im still having no luck. I have trawled through google and the bbpress forum but can’t seem to find a solution.

While updating a website for a client they asked for buddpress to be removed as no one was using the social network side of the site, and a stand alone forum be put in place, hence bbpress.

I started off by removing the buddypress plugin and all it files, deleted the bb-config.php and dropped all the tables in the database with the prefix wp_bp.

I installed the latest bbpress plugin from within the wordpress admin and activated it, then created a few test forums and topics.

The forum displays fine when the default permalink structure is used however when I turn pretty permalinks on all the pages go to a 404 page not found.

I have tried adding Options +Multiview and Options -Multiview to the .htaccess. I have tried setting the bbpress mod_rewrite to true and false but still no luck.

I have also tried chmod 777 the .htaccess file.

Here is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

This is driving me crazy all my other custom post types work!

Any help is appreciated!

Hi everyone. I’ve seen this come up a lot after having googled these issues but didnt find a consistent answer (e.g. some were from like 2009-2010 dealing with older versions.

I’ve tried numerous things and I still get the common messages at the bottom of this post when going to Appearance/Themes from WP admin.

1. This was a clean bbPress plugin install, latest version, done just a few days ago.

2. Immediately after install, I saw the messages below when clicking the Themes link. I had not moved/changed anything. Seems this comes up, strange that the default bbpress plugin install creates these two error messages by default?

3. I’ve tried copying the files/subfolders from the bbp-twentyten theme to the root directory of my custom theme and adding **add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );** (minus asterisks) to the functions.php of my custom theme. That got rid of the first error message, but the forum appearance was screwed up and definitely not correct, and the second error message about a Broken Theme was still there.

4. I did not overwrite the style.css in my custom WP theme folder when I copied the bbp-twentyten files over. I assume I DO need to copy that stylesheet somehow, but how do I do it without overwriting my WP theme’s stylesheet?

5. I do have key master and file/directory permissions are fine.

6. Copying bbp-twentyten to the my-templates subfolder within the bbpress plugin directory (and of course bbp-twentyten was 755 I checked) still yielded nothing, the two messages at the end of the post still appeared.

Sorry if this is are common issues. I’ve tried some of the suggestions I saw in past posts and they are not working. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

ERROR MESSAGES BELOW:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

“Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description

bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.”

I can’t get Human Test for bbPress to work on my site. I have uploaded the plugin and activated it, but I can’t see any change on the registration page. What is wrong? Is there any other good alternative to this plugin that I could try instead?

Thanks a lot!

Ok, I tested now on the test-server.

Write my experience here for you who wonder yourself:

I have Wp lasest installed

I had installed and tested bbPress 2.1 the last week

I now installed BuddyPress as a plugin and did the installation without activating the forum.

Then did go back to the BP settings and activated site wide forums. Then voilá the forum was integrated part of BuddyPress.

Way to go!

I am having an issue with the width of posts in a topic.

The first post displays correctly, but all consecutive posts are all too narrow.

You can see how it goes wrong via this link:

http://waterstadtoren.nl/forums/topic/test-topic/

Can someone tell me where and how I should fix this?

I did a clean “install” to no avail, this problem seems to stem from the original unedited files.

[POS2012]

Is this a plugin I can test now, or “in the works”?

[POS2012]

Tested on WP lastest + bbPress 2.1

I can verify that the plugin mentioned above works.

[POS2012]

May be you can use this plugin (have not tested it myself):

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/peters-login-redirect/screenshots/

[POS2012]

It is the same as to register in WordPress.

http://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?action=register

When registered in WP they can participate in the forum. At least my test forum works like that.

[POS2012]

Have you done anything else than installing bbPress 2.1?

Any configuration?

I have tried to paste YouTube original URL and the short embed URL, but none of those are working. I’ll do some more testing with turning off different plugins to see if that affects it.

Thanks for clearing it up

[brianrubin]

OMG YES PLEASE!

[Silversurfing]

I am having the same issue with Oxygen. You can see it here:

http://englishintirol.com/ESiT/full-width-test/

Tried the ‘.bbp-forums .hentry . . . ‘ as suggested above, tried playing with a variety of table settings, with no result. I’ve looked in Safari Web Inspector which suggests it could be in bbpress.css, tried playing around with bbpress.css as a result, also with no joy. Any help would be appreciated.

[Torsten Landsiedel]

Yes, I know. I wrote this is in my first post:

I see this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and I know this is not the latest version running there.

Thank you for hoping with me …

[sagajagds]

Please test it. It’s new code with a new approach, so I’d like to get some fresh eyes on things right away to avoid a long beta period like 2.0 had.

Is it possible to insert a search form in the forum header? I have tried to create it my theme’s searchform.php with these code :

<form id=”search” name=”searchform” method=”get”>

<input type=”search” id=”ts” name=”ts” title=”Search Topics” placeholder=”Search Topics” />

<button type=”submit” value=”search” id=”searchsubmit”>Search</button>

</form>

<form id=”search” name=”searchform” method=”get”>

<input type=”search” id=”rs” name=”rs” title=”Search Replies” placeholder=”Replies” />

<button type=”submit” value=”search” id=”searchsubmit”>Search</button>

</form>

The first one search for topics when in a specific forum (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/forum/test)

The second one search for replies when in a specific topic (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-test)

The problem is, I just want the first one to appear in “/forums/forum/test” and the second one in “/forums/topic/this-is-a-test”. Where should I insert those codes?

Or do anyone here have a better idea to make a search form? I tried to make a bbpress search-by-categories page but I’m kinda stuck.
