page in question →　http://textfugu.com/bb/

On my forum page index, the pages for the next topics page aren’t going to the right page for the next page.

They go to http://www.textfugu.com/page/2/ instead of http://www.textfugu.com/bb/page/2/

I saw something about this that I think is fixed by changing forums → forum, or vice versa, but looks like my code for this was right, plus I have the most updated version (actually, this stopped working after I updated, it seems).

Anything else I should check / change?

Thanks much!

Ok, I’ve updated it to 0.3.0, you can get it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/ when that updates.

[elizku]

New here!

I got all the way through installation last week and testing of bbpress within a protected WordPress site, and love the forum – I so appreciate the simplicity and ease of the thing, esp. for someone who has little experience with this sort of thing.

My only issue at this point is that once anyone is logged in and posts a reply or new topic, the updated reply/topic displays fine UNTIL returning to the main forum page at which point it is necessary to log out and then log back in to actually see the updates. Again, I’m so pleased with the forum itself, but this may be the thing that keeps my boss from letting the forum go live

WP version is 3.1.4 and I’m using the forum as my home page of the blog. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks so much!

Do I need to remove “Disallow” from robots file then? How should this file look after I updated my pages with this code <meta name=”robots” content=“noindex, follow”/>?

Hi John,

You’re exactly right. I updated my Word Press after writing you and doing my changes and low and behold, the two functions that were missing are now in place. Thanks for commenting.

@Carsten.M – You need to use the numeric ID of the forum. I realize this isn’t the easiest for everyone, but it’s the easiest and fastest way to develop it for now. In the future we’ll open this up to other things and build a UI for it all.

@Nate – I updated the instructions at the top with more details. Give them another go. All you need to do is copy the contents of bbp-twentyten into your theme, and merge the style.css and functions.php files together so they fit what you need – this I can’t help with because it involves code only you probably know.

Are there known issues with translations in bbPress 2.0 beta 3b and WP 3.2 RC2? Got a fully translated language file, but still seeing a lot of untranslated strings. POT/GlotPress not up to date?

/edit found the updated pot. But still, GlotPress is not up to date.

[jobjorn]

You can find an old translation file here: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

It will cover most of the stuff in the latest 2.0 beta. I know Torbjörn Sjögren is working with an updated version, I’ll post it here when I’ve received it from him.

Hi,

I have a local version of bbpress running perfectly. However when I uploaded it to my live site it all sort of works except for the when you login to the bb-admin area.

When you login, that page gets stuck in a redirect loop between the login page and the admin page, and you can never access the admin area.

However on my local site you can login perfectly.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I’ve tried a different browser just incase it’s a cookies/session issue but its not al. Also the data base has been updated with what I think area all the correct urls. Is there something special in the db I’m missing?

Cheers.

master5o1 – i’m seeing a possibly related problem:

updated to beta-3 and now have a blank forums page. was fine with beta-2.

wp is unchanged at 3.1.3. am using a twenty ten child theme with the new bbpress files, page name is “forums” using the “Forum Index template”

and the following forum slug set up:

forums base archive slug is “forums”

single forum slug is “forum”

forum prefix is not included (button unchecked)

p.s. thanks sareiodata

[ideoplasm]

Tremendous! I just updated, checked it, and it worked! If only all prayers were answered as rapidly!

[Anointed]

edit the buddypress.css file line 1218

table.forum {

margin: -9px 0 20px;

width: auto;

}

If you are using a child theme then it is better to make the change there, as every time buddypress is updated you will loose the rule above.

[Malfunction]

Slightly offtopic, but the title fits the following question though:

Maybe a bit early, but is there a listing of 2.x plugins somewhere?

If not, maybe a sticky topic on here with a first post that gets updated when someone adds a new plugin or something would do? People can post their contributions in the topic then.

I search for them in this way at the moment: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress&sort=new

but I don’t know if there are more? A list would be nice?

[BaraBajen]

latest version, updated today

[kai920]

Good to hear – just updated to 3254 and I see Home > Forums > Forum Name breadcrumb

[DigitalGdn]

This is one basic feature that I wish was included as standard.

Only way currently is to use a plugin, there are three but none look like they’re actively being updated.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-visibility/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/

Not tested any yet, will be doing so soon. Zaerl is the most recent so that’s the one I’ll try first.

If anyone could feedback any experiences with using these on bbPress beta2 that would be great.

[John James Jacoby]

@Johnathan – Can you use a tool like Firebug or Inspector, and look at the hidden input fields in your reply form?

Should look like the following

<input type="hidden" name="bbp_reply_title" id="bbp_reply_title" value="Reply To: Updated to bbPress 2.0 pre-beta 2" />

<input type="hidden" name="bbp_forum_id" id="bbp_forum_id"    value="138" />

<input type="hidden" name="bbp_topic_id" id="bbp_topic_id"    value="439" />

<input type="hidden" name="action" id="bbp_post_action" value="bbp-new-reply" />

<input type="hidden" id="_wpnonce" name="_wpnonce" value="0b78bb87eb" />

<input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="/discussion/topic/updated-to-bbpress-2-0-pre-beta-2/" />

Also, some details about your configuration would be great. WordPress version, Multisite/single-site, custom theme/theme compatibility, etc…

OK, trying VERY hard not to completely panic here…

I updated bbP Plugin to beta 2 a few hours ago, thinking nothing much of it. I got called away for a while and just sat back down and went to look at the site – AND IT’S GONE!!

The bbP upgrade has DELETED my theme directory, and with it my entire site!

I do have a handy backup but it’s at least a week old, I might have a more recent backup as young as 24 hours but I’m going to have to go try to dig it out of my backup system.

If bbP upgrades are always going to completely overwrite the themes directory, this is a VERY bad thing!!

Back to trying to repair the damage fast. I hope someone can resolve this for future updates!

When I click on either subscribe or add to favorites, there is a noticeable delay before the text changes to subscribed or added to favorites.

This has lead me on a number of times to continue to click the button, not realizing that it is simply processing.

Strange part is this is on a dedicated server with basically no load, so I do not know why the delay is happening.

suggestion:

Some type of notification text saying it is being updated or something via popup, don’t really care what, just need something to tell the user that it’s working.

*If there is any way for me to ‘troubleshoot’ the delay, then I am willing to test to see why it is happening.

[dotaleague]

Can I please know when will 1.3 be updated. You released a new version of the wordpress plugin, but did not release an update for the stand alone forum.

Please update version 1.3 or tell me when is it going 2 be updated.

I’ve just updated to beta 1 to see if that would fix my problem, but it has not.

On my site, admins can create topics and edit them later no problem. Regular users cannot.

If I create a new topic as a normal user and immediately go to edit it, I get the breadcrumb navigation and that’s all. No edit box, nothing. Just blank where bbP should be.

Any ideas where to look to fix this?

Thanks,

Jonathan

@jerledb – Login/register are supported via page templates, there is a login widget, and eventually shortcodes too. A register widget is a nice idea but leads way to lost-password and activation widgets, none of which will make it into 2.0.

Spam isn’t really handled yet, since there’s no one spamming forums that don’t use software that isn’t released yet. There is a Trac ticket regarding Akismet integration, but either Akismet will need to be updated or a special version of Akismet to concentrate on post spam (which isn’t really a WordPress issue.)

Regarding IP addresses, there are WordPress plugins to help with this, and WordPress multisite comes with this kind of functionality baked in. Traditionally WordPress doesn’t handle spam at a user level, since registered users are typically already trusted to some regard. We run into this issue a little bit even here at bbpress.org. bbPress does log the IP address of every topic/reply that is created, so a plugin can use that to check against a ban list or something.
