I’m using the latest build of bbPress and Genesis (1.7.1). For the most part things are going smoothly, however there is one thing I have not been able to figure out.

I am using the default setup of bbPress and it’s running off of bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten theme (I have not installed or moved a bbpress theme inside my child theme directory).

Here’s what I don’t understand…

When viewing a specfic forum or post, such as http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/forum/sufferers-corner/ things work fine, as expected.

*However*, when trying to view the forum index (http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/), user profile (http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/users/allabout/), and some other sections the page just shows what looks to be a dead loop.

After a little poking around, it almost seems like bbPress isn’t using the template file at all.

For example, on this page http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/users/allabout/, the corresponding template file would be /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/single-user.php right?

I’ve tried editing the file (for testing purposes only, of course!) and echoing test lines, however they don’t show. It’s like some of the template files aren’t being picked up at all.

I have no idea what is going on. I’ve been beating my head against the wall on this one. WP_DEBUG turns up clean.

Any clues?

WP Multisite 3.2.0

Installed BB Press plugin v 2.0-rc2.

Everything went smoothly except that when I try to go to the first forum I created (/forum/test/), only the header is loaded.

Any idea?

I am trying to find out which page gets loaded when trying to view a forum but can’t seem to figure it out…

TIA

You’re probably right about it being a bridge too far for this project, but since you asked what kinda plugins people would like to see, well.. That one for sure

There’s a forum signature one already:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/

As for an avatar plugin:

BuddyPress as mentioned and I’ve seen some others been mentioned in these forums too, but I didn’t test those.

There’s also an UBBcode/toolbar plugin but that’s about it I think.

[pimarts]

If I find the time I’ll see if I can test on a brand new install, but I don’t know if I’ll have that time.

Any idea what else could cause it?

Either way, it’s not really an issue for me for me at the moment, since it’s working now

PS > Lots of updates yesterday night, nice one!

Ok, just updated ro RC2. It’s a great plugin, and it helps me a lot. There is one issue however. The feeds do not work as expected.

Also, I cannot change my password here. I had another account here and lost my password. I requested a password change email and got a message back that I am not allowed to change it. I posted on facebook and did not get a reply to that topic. I made a new account now, but this should really be fixed.

So now to the feeds. I can use feeds by adding a /feed to the end of the URLS, but this does not work as expected and not as it did in the Version 1:

When subscribing to the forum feed, I would expect that I should get a feed of the posts in the forum. Instead I get a feed of the Subforums in the forum. See here:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/ is the URL

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/feed shows me the subforums in the order of the latest entry there. I want to see all feeds however, and had that in the last version. Clicking on the link provided does not bring me to the latest post, but to the subforum, where I then have to search again for the latest post.

Now let’s say I want to subscribe to a subforum only:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/feed does not show me the lower subforums or the topics. Its simply empty.

So let’s go to a forum that has no subforums, but posts in it:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/access-user-rights-etc/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/access-user-rights-etc/feed/ is empty too!

So as a last resort, I want to subscribe to one single topic:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/topic/conection-issues/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/topic/conection-issues/feed/ works normally. The others do not however.

As an admin I need to know about the new topics posted and AFAIK the feeds are the best and intended way to do so. Please please fix this!

“Where can I contribute translations

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/”

I was willing to translate to Spansh, since is my mother language, and I need it. I translated a few things and realised that it didn’t work, they need to be aproved to be downloaded. Then I saw this:

Language % Translated Untranslated Waiting

Spanish (Spain) 0% 0 706 818

Almost everything has been already translated, but is not aproved. I’ve been reading and it might not be perfect, since some words are still in english (for instance Topic instead of “Hilo/Tema”), but it would be great to have access to that translation. There’ll be time for future improvements, I am the first one interested.

So, who’s in charge of it?

Thank you.

PD: I need it for this http://www.opes.es/ new website. I got a translation file but is not completed. I am also looking for a guide to develop a plugin using the rewrite module, since the dynamic tests are now created using ?ID=x …

I noticed that BBPress 2 is a WP plugin, where the first was a standalone. Is there documentation for the upgrade process? Can you still have separate themes?

Any documentation or information on the latest would be great but I can’t find anything on the site.

Thank you!

[peaceharbor]

Yea, I tried installing bbPress 2.0 as a plugin through WordPress. How do I merge my old bbPress with the latest version? Looking at the new ReadMe file, it wants me to upload the new version in my ‘wordpress/wp-content/plugins’ directory and not where I currently have it installed which is in the WP root directory.

[peaceharbor]

I have installed the latest 3.2.1 version of WordPress, and it is a private site/blog that requires all users to register before they can access the site. I could desperately use the bbPress forum, but I need the same security features as my site. I’ve installed bbPress 1.0.3 to my WordPress directory, and have enabled this forum to be a Private Forum by using the ‘private forums’ plugin.

All the integration with WP & bbPress works correctly, and the current users that have already registered with my site already have access to the forum. However, any new users need to register through my WP site, NOT the bbPress forum.

In short, how can I redirect the registration link on the forum to that of my WP registration page?

[pmcdonald]

Thanks. When I returned this evening the database was magically populated with the bbPress tables. Any idea why I would get that kind of error during installation, then somehow it fixes itself? I’m assume it’s fixed anyway, I haven’t yet taken it for a test run but should be OK. Very strange.

[inexpert]

I’ve been dealing with Wordperss for the last few months. I liked it and decided to use it as CMS for my web page, as you can see in:

http://www.opes.es

First of all, is in spanish sorry. But as you can see on tests you can search for tests and complete them. Then forum topics(bbPress plugin 2.0) topics are created linked to the question.

Anyway, I would like to find something like a guide with the basic instructions about creating custom posts, and to rewrite the information I need to pass as parameters. Now, as you can see in the website, the test id for example is send to the web as a get parameter without been rewrited(?ID=x). Not pretty at all, and apparently not good for search engines.

Thank you all.

[pimarts]

Thanks a lot for that reply, going to test it out in my beta enviroment right now

Hi Everyone,

I am newbie in WP, I have just installed and integrate WPMU3.2.1 and BBPress1.0.x. The steps as bellow:

– Install WPMU on vitural host: http://wordpress-mu/

– Install BBPress is subdomian: http://wordpress-mu/forum

– Config bbpress and wp follow guideline.

After install completed I test on FF3, everything works well:

– Login in to wordpress and switch to bbpress: the cookies are sync..

– Logout from bbpress (also clear auth cookies of wp)

– Login from bbpress (also sync cookies of WP)

But I meet one issue on IE(GChrome) brower:

– When I login on WP and Switch to forum then signle-sign-on work ok. When I click logout on BBpress then It does not work.

– And I cannot login on BBpress. (cookie is not set)

After debug I found the cause is the cookies are not set.

function set_auth_cookie( $user_id, $expiration = 0, $expire = 0, $scheme = ‘auth’ ) of Class WP_Auth. (class.wp_auth.php)

At line 273 of file class.wp_auth.php

setcookie( $_cookie, $cookie, $expire, $_cookie, $domain, $secure, true );

Dedault $domain = ‘.wordpress-mu’: with this value the login does not work on IE.

when I set $domain = null then the Login work.

Please help me to solve this issue!

My english is not good, expect everyone to ignore.

Thanks & Best regards,

Pham Tuan Anh

It’s hard to know for sure how a service like Akismet is working. I can look at stats, but I can’t examine the rejected posts. All I can say is, there is no spam.

Anyone here is welcome to test the (v2.0-beta-3b) forum using Akismet. Try to spam it.

I’m having the problem “click ‘Avatar’ in profile, go back to home page” problem as well.

I’ve narrowed it down to the bb_auth call in the avatar-upload.php file line 7. The cookies – at least for me, an admin – seem wrong. I’m going to clear my cookies and try it again. I’m also going to test with a different user – not an admin and see how that goes.

Hello,

For what it is worth I have the same issue on this combination:

BBPress 1.0.3

WP: 3.2.1

bbPress Integration Plugin – latest from wordpress plugins repository as of 7/25/2011

Any ideas on where I should start?

The bbAdmin user can post new topics, forums, replies, etc however any other user type does not have an option to add a new topic or reply to existing topic, but they can SEE topics, forums and posts made by the bbPress admin.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

Also is it possible to install the bbpress in root and then wordpress in a foldr below that and integrate both..?

Please help..

Thanks in advance.

Soba.

also – just to add one more piece of information – I saw in another thread that it was suggested to run tools -> recount. This had no effect. It said:

Counting the number of topics in each forum… Complete!

Counting the number of replies in each forum… Complete!

Counting the number of replies in each topic… Complete!

Counting the number of voices in each topic… Complete!

Counting the number of spammed and trashed replies in each topic… Complete!

Counting the number of topics to which each user has replied… Failed!

Removing trashed topics from user favorites… Nothing to remove!

Removing trashed topics from user subscriptions… Nothing to remove!

Recomputing latest post in every topic and forum… Complete!

I have written a converter for phpBB (prob an older version) to bbpress (the native Word Press version, Version 2.0-beta-3) for a client. Imports everything but the private messages at the moment. phpBB usernames had to be massaged to have spaces and punctuation removed.

This would not be free, but inexpensive, shareware prices. But a few beta testers to see if it might be generally useful would be nice. Contact me if interested.

[pimarts]

I wasn’t asking, I was telling the topic starter

Anyway, is that link to the plugin on the download page new?

[chrishajer]

@pimarts, that is correct, running the old plugin version here.

You can download either version here:

https://bbpress.org/download/

[pimarts]

Just to be sure: This forum runs the stand-alone version of bbPress NOT the WordPress plugin.
