Hi,

i plugged in bbpress to wordpress. i created some forums. i ve changed some of the slugs to my language. but i cant find a forum homepage to see all the forums.

for example

http://www.abcdef.com/forumlar/forum/bloglar/ with i can see one forum. but i cant see anything with

http://www.abcdef.com/forumlar/forum/ (says couldnt find it)

http://www.abcdef.com/forumlar/ (says nothing)

so what is the problem or that i am missing to do?

i use wordpress 3.4.1 with “pure line” theme

How are your permalinks setup in WordPress? Settings->Permalinks

[@comerecommended Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

I am having a similar problem. I’m using BuddyPress, and I want a sitewide forum (instead of forums tied to groups). I installed the bbpress it told me to (I guess it’s bbpress Community?), but I can’t figure out where the heck my forums are! I can’t seem to tie BuddyPress Forums to bbpress Community.

[@jarretc Participant 12 years, 5 months ago]

comerecommended – did you activate the bbpress plugin? I tried visiting both

http://comerecommended.com/community/forum

http://comerecommended.com/community/forums

and each time get an error saying the forums component isn’t setup yet.

[@comerecommended Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

I sure did. That’s part of the problem! (I meant to say that originally, sorry!)

You can see a forum here: http://comerecommended.com/community/discussions/forum/social-media/

Jarret

my permalinks set up is restinerest.com/the.title.of.page

i refreshed permalinks sections after i set bbpress up as it is suggested.

i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it. but then i had this problem:

i had two categories and each have two forums. at this new page it is shown

http://www.restinerest.com/forumd/ this is the page.

category1

forum1(0,0) forum2 (0,0)

category2

forum3(0,0) forum4 (0,0)

and i wanted that forums would be shown as one under the other one.

so do i have the theme compatibility problem or any other thing?

and why cant i reach restinerest.com/forumlar or restinerest.com/forumlar/forum even though i set the slugs up?

any help will be appreciated.

Same problem been trying to fix it in all possible ways.

i do have in httpd.conf AllowOveride All

permalinks are to “Post name http://localhost/sample-post/”

Still cant get to forums

just shows “The forums component has not been set up yet.”

Im running out of ideas, will try to do a clean instal for the 10 time

[@skyforger Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

F this aint working i give up.

[@arpnet Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

im about to go to phpbb

[@rr03 Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

i am still at bbpress:) so anyone has any suggestions for the problem?

[@skyforger Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

I wonder why it works for some ppl, i seriously tried all the solutions i found on the web.

[@rr03 Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

i start to build child theme now to copy the theme files of bbpress. hope that helps.

did you try what i wrote skyforger?

“i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it.”

[@skyforger Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

thnx trying out now

[@skyforger Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

Worked thnx a lot !

Such a simple solution wonder why it was not posted anywhere else.

Ok i see the forum main page now, but when i go to the sections:

http://localhost/forums/forum/general

opens blank page, not even theme is loaded

[@rr03 Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

dont know, i didnt see anywhere, too. just did it but i had this problem after which i mentioned before.

all the forums under the categories seems like this

category1

forum1(0,0) forum2 (0,0)

category2

forum3(0,0) forum4 (0,0)

i want to change them as

category1

forum1(0,0)

forum2 (0,0)

category2

forum3(0,0)

forum4 (0,0)

do you have any idea?

[@skyforger Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

is that just a formatting issue u want it to be vertical listing instead of horizontal ?

Also check this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-set-up-bbpress-and-buddypress?replies=12#post-92559

Dude is saying not to install bbpress throe buddypress but as separate from plugins list.

[@rr03 Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

i dont use buddypress but i kinda had solved the problem when i moved bbpress theme files to inside my child theme.

i still have a lot to figure out but i suggest instead of using shortcodes, move to theme files

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility in here it says how to do.

now i have access to all links.

Found this, which might be helpful to you! http://labsecrets.com/2012/01/23/buddypress-and-bbpress-forums-made-easy/

[@mikedonovan2011 Member 12 years, 5 months ago]

I’m kinda stuck on this forum setup. I have a new install of WP and BP. At first I thought I really just want one forum linked from the home page that each registered member can participate in. I might call it a network-wide forum. Is this possible?

(Now I’m starting to think that there should be group forums too. Otherwise what’s the point of groups? Perhaps I’ll try to get this going too. But one thing at a time.)
