Hi all

I just add bbPress to my website running Deadline theme and with small tweaks all looks great! Except homepage – I want main area in the middle of the homepage to look like http://bbpress.org/plugins/ – showing new, latest and most viewed posts from my 4 forums. How can I do this?

Pleas note I can not use custom page, but have to add code to the existing homepage. I tried few versions, but didn’t get exactly the same results. All I was able to pull is 4 posts with code: <?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/content’, ‘archive-topic’ ); ?>. But that is obviously not what I need. Is there a simple way to get results like on http://bbpress.org/plugins/

I am not coder (obviously), but can do all CSS work without any issue.

I hope this is not repeated questions, but I tried to find solution and no luck.

Cheers & Thanks

Dean

Dear,

Is there a way or plugin that fetches an RSS feed from external websites so that i can display the latest posts from different external blogs in my BBPress sidebar?

Thanks!

Just migrated from standalone to plugin a couple weeks ago and this one has me stumped. I’m having issues where the freshness time doesn’t match up with the latest reply time.

http://ragbrai.com/forums

WP v3.3.1

BBPress v2.0.2

From what I can see the freshness time is based on the topic’s ‘_bbp_last_active_time’ meta tag.

On my forums, using the ‘Route Announcement Party – Who’s In?’ as an example, you can see the freshness date is way off when you compared to the time of the latest reply.

Currently the ‘_bbp_last_active_time’ meta_key has a value of ‘2012-03-08 08:51:03’

From what I can tell that meta_key is set based on the post_date of the topic or the post_date of the latest reply of the topic with a status of publish, right?

The latest published reply for that topic has a post_date of ‘2012-01-26 08:13:57’

The only post in the database with a post_date of ‘2012-03-08 08:51:03’ is a reply to a different topic and it has a status of ‘spam’

Maybe something went wonky with the import from stand alone.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this?

Hmm, I’m out of ideas then. It works on both of my test installs

[jamieskella]

I’m running the plugin branch, 3785, downloaded on Friday the 2nd in Australia (Thursday the 1st in the USA).

I’ll do an upgrade to the latest build and see if that fixes it.

[Jared Atchison]

Are you running a copy of 2.1 from less than a week ago, there were a few oembed tweaks pushed (namely the setting not saving correctly).

I just tested it using a youtube url in the WYSIWYG and HTML editor and both are rendering the video for me.

[Jaja..]

Yes , WP Super Cache is it called it think.

[Jared Atchison]

Are you running a caching plugin on your main (blog) website?

[Jaja..]

Hello,

I’ve been following some discussions on here about some problems and my main focus was on the Cache problems.

At this moment i’ve got a Blog and would like to add a support forum.

What would be the best option to go with?

(1) Just activate the bbPress plugin on my main (blog) website.

(2) Install the bbPress plugin on a Fresh and new WP install inside a directory-/folder.

I’m running WP SuperCache on my main (blog) WP install.

(1) http://example.com/ <– WP install – my blog

(2) http://example.com/<forums>/ <– a NEW WP installation only for bbPress

The reason i would like option 2 better is that i don’t have to activate a Cache plugin for the forums. It’s mostly all text content , no images so WHY Cache a forum?

What would you do and why?

[jamieskella]

I have auto-embed enabled in WordPress Media options, and in the Forum options, yet links are still not converted: http://pantheones.com.au/forums/topic/media-test/

Can anyone help?

They are two different versions of bbPress, which is primarily why they look so different.

The lastest version of bbPress is 2.x while bbPress.org is running (I believe) 1.x.

I am having an issue getting custom profile fields to work.

I have used the following code as a wordpress plugin and a bbPress plugin:

function set_my_profile_info_keys($myarray) {

$myarray = array(

‘testfield’ => array(0, __(‘TestField’))

);

return $myarray;

}

add_filter(‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘set_my_profile_info_keys’);

However this doesn’t show the field on a users profile to allow them to edit it. I have also tried other variations of this code I have found on this forum and others but to no avail.

Any help getting this working would be much appreciated.

I have to agree with thruxton, this all may sound like elementary settings to you tech guys but to a newb…its wierdly complicated to set up.

I have a Themeforest template I installed my self on WP in less time LOL.

I also agree that bbpress looks like a great set up, and still very much want to run it. Im not a quitter

so far I set up a forum page, made 5 topics with test text, added a link to my menu’s and sidebars (all while signed in to my WP site) not my bbpress persay…thats my issue, I cant seem to set up this log in page, I have no clue what this URI is

instructions say “make a log in page” yet there is no such thing in BB as a “page”.

So I then made a WP page and called it forum. and the log in shortcode worked! except it would let me make a log in??

Then I wondered how the BB forum I previously made with 5 topics, was to get linked up with this new WP page called “forum”

I bin up one side and down da udder with this thing, couple hrs a night after work for the last 3 days!! geeeez I feel re taw did

There…I feel better now that I vented…wife doesn’t wanna hear it

[ExtremeSoccer]

When I login with my test account and go to edit profile it takes me to the user profile in wp-admin.

In there it shows buttons for Topics and Replies. How do I remove Topics and Replies from that?

My bbpress site is now being tested by joe public.

Every time one view’s a forum category and then chooses a forum from that category, it automatically takes them to a forum under a different category.

For instance, if I view…

Forums, North East, Country Durham, the breadcrumb trails shows that’s where I am, but when I click on the “schools” forum the breadcrumb trail changes to show I am in the schools forum but under a different category – and it’s always South West, Devon!!!

Why do all my forums default back to South West, Devon ??!!

When they were created, I chose the correct hierarchy and can view this is still correct from the Forum, All Forums in the dashboard.

You can see the issues here… http://lifeafterlondon.com/?page_id=973

I would really appreciate someones help with this – THANK YOU.

@OC2PS

I was testing and got the same error message using the standard upload (didn’t use the plugin you have listed) but after I clicked on Installed Plugins and went back to try it again, it went through fine. At that point, I see two bbpress installs listed with the 2.0.2 version active and 3786 inactive.

Very strange.

[intimez]

I’m testing with the following:

wordpress3.3.1, buddypress1.5.4, bbpress2.1r3786

After activating buddypress and then going all the way up to the forum part, what exactly is the step to get it configured? I do not want to use Group Forums. I click on Install Site Wide Forums it tells me it is installed.

This was a problem before the 2.1 beta so …

What is being done in the 2.1 beta that addresses this?

How should users configure it via upload if they are not using plugin search?

[Regis Fortes]

I had the same problem. It seems the environment variables used at the function bbp_logout_url inside

bbp-common-functions.php was not working well at http server here or are deprecated. So, I changed the line <$redirect_to = home_url( isset( $_SERVER ) ? $_SERVER : ” );> with this one <$redirect_to = $_SERVER.$_SERVER;>. I do not know if this fixed the problem definitly , because i am testing yet, but the redirect error stoped to occur.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m I really can’t say because I use SVN to sync up with the latest version. Maybe jjj will have some input.

[hock88]

Thanks for the quick reply!

Will try it now.

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

There is a “Recent Activity” widget that comes with bbPress – typically I just use that

[hock88]

Hi jaredatch,

Thanks for the reply. BTW do you have any suggestion or recommendation to share?

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

Should be fixed if you get the latest 2.1 download. Again, thanks for reporting and props jjj for the quick fix.

[kannued]

Thanks jaredatch! Found the plugin.

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress has a widget that can show the latest activity (you can set how many).

I would suggest creating a new sidebar area, place that on your homepage, and then use the bbPress activity widget in it.
