Any updates on the status of 2.1? The way it deals with theme compatibility is great.

I installed the 2.1 beta on a test site using harnold007’s directions (I wish he’d tell us what the modifications were in steps 3 and 5!)

When I tried to change themes, or even to deactivate 2.1 I got this error. Anyone know how to fix it?

Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in /homepages/6/d396770293/htdocs/Clean_Test/wp-content/themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 32

Hi,

I am testing bbpress 2.1 plugin, and topic tags seems to be an unnecessary feature,

How to disable / remove it completely? (tags are so out of fashion these days)

It would be nice if in the future version there was a tick box in forum settings to turn it off

Hi – I have a wordpress blog (installed on my own mySQL Database/webspace) and have added bbPress as it seemed the best forum plug in I could find. I am using the theme Graphene. These are all the latest version as of 19/04/12.

I have created a blank page called Forum which, when the menu item is clicked, forwards to the bbPress forum main page and which appears on the top menu, along with Home and Blog.

Here is where things get difficult…

I would like for the ‘Forum’ menu item (page_item_419) to be highlighted when I am in the bbPress Forum but currently, when I am in the Forums it is the ‘Blog’ menu item (page_item_146) which is highlighted.

Any idea what I need to do? I am not a great deal of coding experience so go easy on me

Many thanks

I forgot to mention that I’m using the latest stable release of bbPress, version 2.0.2.

You can try forumconverter plugin…some people have had some luck with it…downgrade to v2 or RC before importing, though…you can upgrade to latest version after the import…

You could set a fixed width on the table rather than a percent, to make sure it doesn’t go any wider…

table { width: 535px; }

Edit: I did test in firebug and adding the width onto the table seemed to be fine, you may want to use the actual classes though, like .bbp-replies etc…

[Ben Hayes]

Ah OK, I think I see that you have implemented something like this in version 2.1

I just tried to install the latest 2.1 beta version but I got an error from WP saying “Could not install this plugin as it has an invalid header”

Not sure if this is just not a feature, a bug, or an issue with my installation or theme.

When a user posts a reply to a topic that is multiple pages long, it appends the post ID to the URL but still brings them back to page one of the topic.

For example, if I post to…

mysite.com/forums/topic/test-top/page/14/

after I am redirected to…

mysite.com/forums/topic/test-top/#post-223774

So then I have to click back to page 14 and scroll down to see my post. Is this normal behavior or is my forum not appending the page number when it redirects me after posting?

When ever I try and post a URL, such as – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJC28DUQcZs&feature=g-vrec&context=G2026267RVAAAAAAAABg – I get the following error.

feel free to register an account at http://www.CrankyOldMen.com and test it out. I have tried 3 accounts so far and they all do the same thing.

Things I have tried already:

– turn off all non-core plugins

– switch to default theme

– sign in and post with accounts of varying privileges

– tried posting from my Android Phone and Tablet

Thank you. I was able to change the color of one box, now yellow,

using the following code.

#content div.bbp-template-notice.info {

background-color: #FFFFEE;

border-color: #FFFFEE;

}

But I can’t figure out the coding using Firebug for . . .

Gray topic box color . . .

Gray author/post box color . . .

Also I am unable to double-space between paragraphs as the bbpress forum does.

Thanks for your suggestions and help . . .

Hey jaredatch,

url to the test forum is: http://www.climberism.com/forum-page-tst/

When users login and click-through to their profile, there is a tabbed menu in the upper right hand side of the screen. I’d like to bring that into the header so it is displayed on every page of the forum. Essentially, I’d like to ad to the tabs. exp. photo tab, conditions tab, etc.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

Everything looks ok, its just your theme isn’t playing nice with TwentyTen.

Personally, since your site is under development, I’d recommend giving bbPress 2.1 a test run using the new bbP Compat theme (instead of the TwentyTen one).

bbPress 2.1 can be downloaded on this page, where it says download zip archive – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

If you do choose to try 2.1, keep in mind that it is still under development, so you should make a backup of your site before installing.

[Jared Atchison]

Trunk is simply the latest development version of bbPress. So if jjj committed a patch last night, it’s not going to show up in the latest *stable* version – it will be in trunk.

You can download trunk via a zip file or through SVN – SVN is better because then you can easily sync it down the road.

Make sure you are grabbing the plugin trunk and not 1.x trunk.

Greetings from Vancouver, B.C.

I’ve installed the BBPress plugin and want to modify the ‘light blue’ and ‘yellow’ text block colors on the following page.

http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums/forum/test-forum

I followed plugin >> bb press >> bbp-twentyten >> css >> bbpress-rtl and bbpress.css

Using Firebug I located in the css where (I thought) I would modify the colors but when I looked in both bbpress-rtl and bbpress.css there was no matching code, at least that I could find.

Same for . . .

http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums

which I want to modify the header to match the rest of the website.

Any suggestions would be grateful . . .

[MaTaX91]

so did I do something wrong when I checked out the latest using my svn thing?

[MaTaX91]

what is truck? I used tortoise svn to get the latest files? I used the url on the download page, did I do something wrong?

[thedzigner]

I just wanted to add to this, because I’m getting the same problem.

If I make a topic ‘super-sticky’ it works as it should, i.e. it appears at the top of all forums.

However, as soon as I ‘close’ the super-sticky topic, it only appears in the forum where it was created.

I also tested this with twenty eleven theme just to make sure, and the problem persists.

Any help greatly appreciated.

[MaTaX91]

am I missing something here, I fixed the error I stated above but I don’t see any class on the forums that contain subforums, and I did the sub-version thing with the latest version. Is there something I need to add somewhere?

[MaTaX91]

yes I did but I’m having some weird problems with the layout, might be my error, I’ll do some more testing first before I make a new post about it.

Thanks John!

I created a forum that is intended to be only visible to logged in users who have been elevated to a higher access role (“Members”). http://ctos-toa.org/wp/

I use the User Access Manager plugin to designate the roles/groups. When logged into the site in Admin, everything works fine (user can have access to all forum topics and post). When not logged in at all, it is fine (users can’t access anything).

However, when a user is logged in as a “member”, with bb_participant access, the forum topics do not show up in the right column widget of the home page, and when they click on Forum page, it says “Oh bother! No new topics…”

If this is a question for the UAM plugin developer, I will go there. I am new at WP, so am just not sure and would appreciate any advise.

If you need to login as a “Member” to see what happens, use test:

user name: erica

password: test

Its looks great in your screenshot for sure – unfortunately I have tested on various machines all with the same result.

I fear that I have reached a dead end here – I may ask over WP forum – and see what can be done.

I’m on the latest version of Chrome (OSX) and it looks fine.

Hi all. I’ve read that there is no way that the main page of wordpress can be the forum itself, but i wonder if I can take the code of the bbpress that hanlde all the forums and insert it as an include into the wordpress index.php. if that is posible an some one help me telling me which part of the code is the one I can copy to call the forum and topics in to the very front page.

I’ve seen i can show all that in the sidebar, but i would like to make it the main page like the forum page with the latest topics, most comented and most visited.

Thank you
