I am wondering if someone can tell me why the reply to this test topic I made in a forum is all scrunched up. any reply made to any topic in any forum is all scrunched up while the initial post is well formed.

I have a single install of bbpress, no other plugins and i am using a theme in which I placed: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); in the functions.php file. When creating a forum and testing it out I am taken toa page where I get a 404 error….

this theme is a wordpress theme. I managed to get it to work….No not really. the forums do not seem to work properly with ordinary wordpress themes. is there no smooth integration between the two?

[Jared Atchison]

Alright, marking this as done.

Latest round of commits fixes everything, including pagination. Enjoy Genesis goodness.

//edit: i cant spell >_<

[Jared Atchison]

Patch update. Still needs testers

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622

[kevinvaughn]

thanks JJJ… with this info I have continued to test and found that it is in fact working correctly

[Adam]

So I have bbpress 2.0 rc4 installed.

I also have buddy press 1.5 (the latest build from trac) installed.

How do I keep the discussion forums enabled in buddypress and use the forums of bbpress like how you guys have the sample site set up?

What are the steps?

[Jared Atchison]

Glad you got it figured out

For anyone who stumbles on this topic: the plugin linked to above has been tested with Genesis 1.7.1, WP 3.2.X, bbP RC 4, and *several* Genesis themes – so far I have found zero issues.

The patch still needs more testing and tweaks, however. That’s next.

@WebEndev:

I am so sorry for you! I hope I could help you out soon. I got mine working with Jared’s plugin patch – I just experimentet with his code line for the layout option and have all working like I want it.

My above report you quoted was regarding the patch from John for bbPress core which was not working at that time (or the last time I tested it a few days ago…). So I am sorry if you got confused because of my report…

Please have also a look here and especially for Nathan’s posts:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622

I hope this helps a bit right now. I am knee deep in important client work and might get back later here on…

Right now the patch is pretty much what the plugin is – just cleaned up and in a patch form. It needs further testing. The sole purpose of the patch/plugin is to help provide a few fixes so Genesis/bbP will have limited out of the box support for each other.

It doesn’t make any changes to the template files or the way they operate.

[Adam]

Not understanding this….. (bbpress 2.0 rc4)

1) I installed the plugin.

2) I don’t have twenty ten installed and I got the error “bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.” This should be updated to use the latest version of WordPress theme 2011

3) Installed twenty 10

4) returned to themes.

5)bbpress theme is not showing its preview .png file most themes show.

6) Activating bbpress theme gives me:

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

The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.

-> NOTHING was touched or changed. All I did was install bbpress plugin and install the twenty ten theme.

So I thought, what the hell lets create a forum and go to it:

1) forums

2) new forums

3) new: Test

4) Publish

5) view ->

This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.

What am I doing wrong? Why is this not working at all?

Clicking the subscribe to topic will bring you to the same or the latest topic you have posted or commented into and it is not located at the top of every topic you are posting.

[Adam]

So I installed the new plugin to test it out on a local host. How do you set up the “This forum is for this site on multi site feature? and Why do you have the option to allow anonymous people to create threads and topics?

Would it also be possible to do something like:

mainsite.come/multisite1/forums

Where multisite is a blog and a series of forums? when this is tried on a local host site I get a white page when visiting multisite1 and only by disabling the plugin do I get multisite 1 and its contents back.

[Adam]

I would do the codex as Jquery did their documentation IMO, wordpress pages/posts. Easy to set up, easy to edit and change, and allows for people to comment saying what changed, how to use or provide feed back.

Gets the community involved. Thats how I do documentation for ruby based projects.

Any ways,

can you explain (since I am not testing this plugin till its 2.0) finished, how we will set it up for multi site to only use with ONE site? will it be done via the dash board?

[KRCSC]

Hi chaps, just a quickie: is there any snippets of code I can use to display the latest posts (and decide the number) on my static and custom front page here: http://www.krcsc.co.uk. Am using BBP 2.0 but can’t find any php on it – any ideas?

[ready_paul]

Hi all,

I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.

This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.

I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.

Here is the issue which I need help with:

With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.

I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.

The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.

Any help appreciated.

Paul

Here’s my dilemma:

I need to add a forum section to one of my sites ASAP. I have experience using the stand alone version of bbPress as I use it for two different sites and I feel comfortable using it. I’ve been testing the plugin version, which looks great but honestly I don’t have the time right now to look into it very much and I’m feeling a bit frustrated trying to make it work as I want to.

My question is: Should I go with the stand alone version until things are stable enough and then migrate to the plugin version or am I getting myself into more trouble in the long run?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys ,

I couldn’t install v2 rc4 in my wordpress (latest version with mysql5 and php5). I have this error:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php on line 1572

Any chance to resolve this problem without increasing my php memory? I just increased it up to 40MB with php.ini because of other plugins and my host (1&1) told me that 40 MB is the max they allow.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I´m testing bbPress 2, it works fine, but when I enter at the forum instead of appearing on the screen with the threads posted’ll stop at the desk with a summary of threads, etc..

Someone can tell me how to make upon entering the forum leads me to the threads published directly, bypassing the desktop? The theme is Andreas 09 Ciberpress.

Thanks and greetings.

Dear bbpress Experts,

How can i get the latest discussions in a topic but only for that category were the topic is in?

Lets say a have a topic in category games, then i would like to show the latest games category topics in the sidebar in that topic.

I have searched the forum and Google for this but still not come up with a solution…

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance.

[enderandrew]

Out of the 67 plugins that come up, some go back to 2009, such as this one.

So I’m not sure it is safe to assume they all are designed for bbPress 2.0.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/

Since many of the plugins don’t specify, and there isn’t a list here, I guess I’m going to have to go with trial and error.

[John James Jacoby]

Working on getting a copy of Genesis to test with.

[John James Jacoby]

I promise if you are using BuddyPress 1.5 and bbPress 2.0 in an unmodified, vanilla installation, they work seamlessly together once you decide which forum setup to use. You can even use both of them, like I have setup at testbp.org, provided you change the bbPress 2.0 slugs in Admin > Settings > Forums.

If you need support for your site specifically, please make your own topic so you do not pollute other peoples conversations with your questions.

[Jared Atchison]

Genesis has 2 functions that I have determined are causing the problems.

http://pastie.org/2469242 (/genesis/lib/structure/post.php lines 101-143 (as of 1.7.1))

The first function is the post image function. Users have the ability to automatically set image thumbnails to appear on the archive listings. However if they turn this on, when you go to a bbPress archive page a random image from the media library ends up on the top of the page. This is turned of by default in Genesis, but is widely used.

The second function is how Genesis displays post content. You can see, depending on how the user has Genesis configured, it uses the_excerpt or the_content_limit – which results in a dead loop.

The other things I did such as remove the post info/meta, breadcrumbs, etc are just purely cosmetic. They aren’t *needed* per say, but it can look screwy if they are outputted on some of the forum pages.

As long as Genesis is forced to always use the_content and the post image option is nuked, everything should always work smoothly.

If you want to explore the option of a core patch I’d be more than happy to help you with a patch and testing

[John James Jacoby]

So by removing all of the Genesis actions, bbPress is able to do what it needs to without any kind of conflict? Seems pretty straight forward. I could transform your code into a bbPress 2.0 core patch, but I’d be flying blind not having a copy to test with.

I would literally be taking exactly what you have and making bbPress load it like it does the Akismet and BuddyPress extensions.

Plugin sounds cool and gave it a shot.

My site has 40k members and I noticed it wanted to check and ‘clean’ my users when I ran the wizard.

Not only was I not happy about it sending current user information for testing, but I noticed it would take hours to finish… not good…

I cancelled it and upon running the plugin again, it said it was reporting back a couple of users. It did not show me which users, and why they were being ‘reported’. That I was really unhappy with.

Finally, I noticed you made changes to the ‘users’ menu adding in the ‘wangard status’. It is not sortable… not friendly for large user db’s.

Suggestion:

A way for large existing sites to install the plugin without running through current users.

*They’re on my site so I trust them
