[GHC_33]

I almost have this forum completed, but the profile page just doesnt look good using WooThemes Canvas – Theme.

Also the css for the original post is different than the reply posts. Its adding buttons to links, quotes, and the avatar.

Any idea of how to solve this? Ive searched and searched all night, but I cant find a solution.

Here is my test site.

Oh, this is if I’m using the bbPress “integrated” with BuddyPress. As in I installed bbPress through BuddyPress. It seems this muddies the waters a bit. I think I’ll just wait

[root@test plugins]# find . -name bbpress

./buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress

./bbpress

./bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress

./bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress

[root@test plugins]# ls buddypress/bp-forums/

bb-config.php bp-forums-bbpress.php bp-forums-loader.php

bbpress bp-forums-bbpress-sa.php bp-forums-screens.php

bp-forums-actions.php bp-forums-filters.php bp-forums-template.php

bp-forums-admin.php bp-forums-functions.php

[root@test plugins]# ls bbpress (this is a svn sync)

bbp-includes bbpress.php bbp-themes index.php readme.txt

OK — I did all that and can see the plugins/bbpress folder in Filezilla. The problem is, I can’t see it in the “plugins” page on WordPress to activate it, and the site is otherwise not recognizing it (pages I had with shortcodes aren’t working).

Sigh. I’m testing it on wavychick.com, which is a dev site for my dev site, if that makes sense.

Hi guys,

I installed the latest version of WordPress, then used the ‘Plugins’ search to install BuddyPress, and then within the /Forums/ section I installed bbPress.

Everything is working wonderfully, except when anyone posts on the forums it doesn’t update their activity feed:

http://buddypress.p-h1.com/community/topic/this-is-my-first-topic/

And here is the admin activity page:

http://buddypress.p-h1.com/members/admin/

Is there anything I can do to fix this? It’s the one remaining piece of functionality I’d like to be working.

[Jared Atchison]

2.1 can be downloaded by going to this page https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin and clicking download zip archive at the bottom of the page – is this the one you downloaded from earlier?

Keep in mind that 2.1 is not quite final (although stable from my testing) so it would be wise to do a backup before the upgrade if you are doing it in a production environment.

I’m actually the author of bbPress Genesis Extend. If you are using 2.0.x you actually dont need Genesis Extend (unless you want some of the new features) because bbPress 2.0.x has limited Genesis compatibility built into it.

This jacoby wont answer simple questions, but responds to the slightest insult. LOL

whatever bud, the plug in is full of headaches and ya know it.

I am having some problems generating a forum index page.

Once I created my forums I thought that by adding the url http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/ to the menu I would be in business. Going to the url shows a featured article and the bbPress sidebar, not a forum index.

Since I did not get a forum index I created a new page and named it Forums. I then pasted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] into the body of the page and nothing changed. The same results were displayed as if I did not have a page. Almost seems like bbPress ignored my page.

Here is the link to the page…

http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/forums/

The next thing I did was to create another page and name it “Test Forum.” I inserted the shortcode and this page displayed a forum index for me.

http://cyclistzone.com/vozcycling/test-forum/

The problem I am having now is that the slug “test-forum” only relates to this page and not to any of the forum pages because the slug “test-forum” does not exist in the bbPress settings. Those settings use the slug “forums/forum”. If I change the “forums” slug to “test-forum” I end up back to my original problem.

I would like to leave my slugs defaulted to their original values. I just want a forum index page using the bbPress slugs and have a bbPress sidebar.

This is probably simple, but I have not figured it out yet, so I hope someone can shed some light on what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,

Rhek

In theory this should work with bbPress as well, but it has not been confirmed or tested.

I continued to do some tests but continues to do the same. I have asked in the support forum wordpress theme, but nobody has any idea. So I’m giving up, I do not know what else to do.

Hi there,

We just installed bbPress 2.0.2 on the latest version of WordPress. Everything is working great, except that when someone subscribes to a topic they never receive the email notifications. Regular WordPress notifications (such as new user registration) work fine. Any idea what’s wrong? The only other plugins we have are small things like random quote widget and weather widget.

Thanks!

[nosdk]

I’ve just installed bbpress and it looks great. I seem to some sort of problem. When some post a reply to the first post i looks strange…

LINK: http://www.neworleanssaints.dk/Forums/emne/test-trad/#post-3573

WordPress vers: 3.3.1

bbpress: 2.0.2

[harnold007]

My installation instructions.

1. Installed plugin and activated in WordPress.

2. Copied the contents of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/ into my themes root folder /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/

3. Modified bbpress.css in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/css/

4. Put in this line in my header.php <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/css/bbpress.css”>

5. Modified my page.php in /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/ (please note if you have any other pages using page.php in your theme modifying this file will also modify those pages utilizing this wordpress page template). I modified it so my forum would be full width without the sidebar. This will vary depending on your theme.

6. Created my forums in my wordpress admin panel under the forum section.

7. Tested, everything is working great!

[Jared Atchison]

It looks OK to me but I rarely mess with stuff like this.

If your site is still under development, you may consider upgrade bbPress to 2.1 (currently in testing). It has some new theming features and auto-detection in place.

In 2.1 it should automatically find those files without needing to put anything in your functions.php.

If you do choose to try 2.1, since it is “beta” at the moment make sure and back up everything first just to be safe.

I would like to moderate all forum posts before they are published..

We all know the amount of spam out there and how this can impact the image of a forum. People can get offended, they can click on bad quality links, search engines could penalize your site cause of the presence of bad outgoing links etc. etc. The simple solution would be to have an option to moderate posts before they are published.

But surprisingly enough, it is not there and there seems to be no way to activate such a feature except if you are some coding genius. No pugins (that work with the latest version) or any simple workaround or am I missing something?

Is there any way this can be achieved or is this an impossibility for someone whoz not too good with coding?

[chuckingit]

Hi Jaredatch – thank you for looping back to me and your links … i did indeed read in a post by John James Jacoby about security issue(s) so i can appreciate that … i also tested the plugin you mention but it kicked out errors which i posted in the WP forums so perhaps the plugin author will have info or fix down the road ..??..

in a bit of thinking outloud and in the for-whatever-its-worth depts … the first time i saw shortcodes work in a WP forum solution was with Simple:Press plugin … i was actually suprised that shortcodes did work and then i got excited about using them – e.g., wrapping some forum content so that it was public, while other forum content reserved to be private and require login … also, the audio shortcode to play clips within forum posts, all of which was cool … thus not sure if Simple:Press introduces security issues by allowing shortcodes or not ..??..

my only problem with Simple:Press was / is that it was too much configuration (in turning off stuff) and i liked the clean, minimalism inherent in bbPress … and now that it is plugin and works within WP, means i’m throwing my hat in this bbPress forum ring and look forward to seeing it’s ongoing growth …

in the meantime, i’ve had to rethink my shortcode issue – namely media files … e.g., where do i put these files in WP if i don’t want to create a post for them, but have them referenced from within forum posts … which lead me to discover a really cool program, open source, and share as fyi in case others might be interested …

the program = http://ajaxplorer.info … it comes with a bridge for WP so user accounts can be shared by both … it is a file manager of sorts for your web site that makes it pretty easy to keep files private or make them shareable … i’m almost done testing this and i’m pretty sure at this point that it will be my go to tool to upload media files*, then create the shared-encrypted links, then put those links into my bbPress forum posts … thus keeping my forums to mostly text, yet linking out to media files as need be via using Ajaxplorer …

lastly, i just wanted to go on record with BIG gratitude for all the hard work your bbPress team does in helping the rest of us in the WP worlds have really nice forum solution – Kudos to you and your seed – and i hope the Divine blesses you all for i certainly feel blessed / lucky to have tools like bbPress and forums like this for knowledge sharing – THANK YOU!

cordially, chuck scott

*yes i know that i could use WP Media Gallery but that gets a bit unruley since uploads are stored in blog-id-year-month folders … thus if i had ten pop tunes i wanted to upload to server, easier to create a dedicate library system with folder called music and subfolders under that … then it is easier to add new files to those folder collections versus having to track down different folders and try to remember what is in the 2011 folder vs 2012 let alone what blog-id it might have been uploaded under but i digress …

FOLLOW UP:

This may help someone. I had not deactivated all the plugins from both bbPress installations. When I did, it imported, with a few errors as it did create by users and users meta tables. Fortunately I had done my own backup of the database. So, I pulled those two sections of the backup and imported them back into the database. Users, meta, and login are now working.

I still have a problem with the admin side of things though. When I select “Forums” – it gives me this incorrect link http://stratoliner.me/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=forum when it should be http://stratoliner.me/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum. The first errors with insufficient permissions and the latter goes to the forums.

I have disabled any and all plugins to test and I still get the first error!

I sure could use some help.

[harnold007]

I changed bbpress.css in folder /bbp-theme-compat/ which I was able to get it they way I want it to look.

However, it is using my wordpress default page theme. I would like it to use a full width page theme that I have.

Example it is using:

<div id=”main-wrapper”>

<div id=”main”>

<div id=”post”>

<h3 class=”section-title”>testing 2</h3>

<div class=”post-entry”>

// Then it goes to the forums tag

<div id=”bbpress-forums”>

Also, under the default page theme it grabs the sidebar, which I do not want it to do.

If someone can please point me in the right direction on changing the wordpress page theme that is being used for the forums. Thank you!

[areaphoto]

Thanks for the response. I will go and try that now. I have installed and began testing on a subdomain to use TwentyTen. The particular theme I am currently using states it is compatible. I understand though that there could certainly be some bugs associated. I will update with status of TwentyTen.

[AAShepAA]

I have a successful, running “stand-alone” but integrated bbPress installation that has been up for about a year or so.

I just installed the plugin and activated it but I get the “insufficient permissions” error when I try to click on “Forums” in admin although I have created a test forum.

When I go to Admin>Settings>Import/bbPress Standalone Importer – it doesn’t do anything – just sets there. It is trying because when I go back to it – I am asked if I want to continue the old import.

I don’t know if this makes any difference – but my old installation is under mainsite/forum and the new – seems to be in mainsite/forums

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[ZikRasta]

But that does not solve my problem!

I had to disable my site can not provide an operational service!

I work on this installation of wordpress to find a solution : http://rootserv.fr/?topic=test

I contacted support WPbakery

And they lead me to you! Cool their support!

[John James Jacoby]

* Taxonomies don’t have metadata, to allow for topic & replies counts or latest content

* Comments don’t allow for attachments without some major work

* The API for custom post types is farther along, more robust, and provided a relatively quick head start (see above)

[Martin]

I actually would prefer to add some placeholder test between the Forum Title and the breadcrumbs.

Any ideas where this stuff is output?

The unfortunate part is it’s likely to be overwritten on any and all plugin updates though.

[ddlg2007]

Well I come here 1 more time because I really can not do more and I need a little help please.

I am using a child theme called Arras Classical Gamer. I test many times and try a lot of tutorial but is really impossible fix problem with bbpress.

You can see my website here http://www.site.teamcyanide.eu working perfectly with buddypress and pluging like BuddyPress Template Pack. That was my first hard mission but I do it well and everything work good with some change on CSS.

Now the only problem I have is that forum bbpress dont work good. For example I creat a forum called Starcraft 2 and when I clic on view look what happen:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/board/forum/starcraft-2

I create a category of Starcraft 2 forum and look:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/board/forum/starcraft-2/protos

So is simple, dont work but I continue looking here on forum and google then I try use Shortcodes from here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes, and look what happen:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum

You can see ok I can fix the CSS to make it look better, but if you clic on forum or category continue with same problem, just test yourself and can see it.

So guys please, some one can tell me please what can I do for implement my forum of bbpress in my website?

I know on internet I have other forums and scripts, but I really love bbpress and all software make it by wordpress, buddypress, etc.

Someone have mercy on me and help me a little?

Thanks.

[lusitanoflickan]

Now it works perfectly when I am at the forum page, but it still looks the same on the topic pages http://demo.agxe.se/forums/topic/test-topic/

What do I add to the CSS to fix this side too?

Thank you so much for your help!

[Jared Atchison]

You are close. bbPress does not use the tag taxonomy, that is strictly for posts.

You’ll need to use tax_query as you mentioned. This is untested but should give you a general idea

$mytopics_args = array(

'post_type' => 'topic',

'numberposts' => 15,

'tax_query' => array(

array(

'taxonomy' => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(),

'field' => 'slug',

'terms' => 'you-tag-slug'

)

)

);

$mytopics = new WP_Query( $mytopics_args );
