help with a bbpress.php full width template

Published on December 6th, 2013 by robgranholm

I’m using the Pagelines theme [before DMS] and they have a selector at the bottom of each page or post that you can select to make the page full width.

On forum pages, and individual threads, this option isn’t available. I know I can create a bbpress.php template which bbPress will look for, but I’m not sure how to deconstruct my theme, or set it up to be my default page, but minus the sidebar.

Help here would be much appreciated.

My page.php code doesn’t give me much indication as to how to craft this…


<?php
/**

New to bbpress and having issues with forums

Published on December 6th, 2013 by sallysqueak

Hi

Having never used bbpress before and being relatively new to wordpress, I’m struggling to get the forums on my site up and running.

Having spent 3 hours today just looking for the ‘forums’ tab, I eventually worked out that the reason I couldn’t find it was because in the latest version of buddypress (or bbpress?) there is no ‘forums’ tab – it is named ‘Groups’ instead! It seems the documentation on here is outdated and this has caused me no end of agro today aggggh!

Now I finally worked that out, and the forums option magically somehow appeared in my individual ‘groups’, I’m now unable to make a post in any groups, even when logged in as a keymaster!

Can anyone help me with this? I don’t even know where to find up to date documentation for this plugin now, everything I’ve read is outdated and has confused me. Can anyone point me in the direction of a place to find documentation for bbpress 2.5.1, when running with buddypress 1.8.1 on wordpress 3.7.1? Or just help me to get these forums useable!

Also, is there a way to allow forum users to add photos to their posts?

Thanks

In page JavaScript on the footer

Published on December 6th, 2013 by Stefano Lissa

Hi,

best practices about site speed optimization recommend to load the external javascript on the bottom of an HTML page.
I see that bbPress adds some “inline” JavaScript (for the widget or the editor), and this JavaScript requires jQuery.

Since that JavaScript is added in to the head it’s not possible to move the jQuery load on bottom of the page. Could you fix bbPress to add that Javascript on the footer so even jQuery con be load at the bottom of the page?

Thank you, Stefano Lissa.

Forum Page

Published on December 5th, 2013 by julieono

I just installed this plugin and I went through these steps

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and I can’t get the list of forums to show up on the forum page.

I named the page forum and then I also tried adding the extra code as outlined in step 2

but neither create a list of the forums that I have created. I have two set up.

http://massagepracticebuilder.com/forums/

This is one of the forums I set up just to test. http://massagepracticebuilder.com/forums/forum/diy-websites/

And why does that have the address forums/forum ??

I just went and followed the directions to set up a forum.
thanks
Julie

Members can't post on forum.

Published on December 5th, 2013 by Rachel Biel

Help! I’ve been at this for hours and am going out of my mind…

I have the latest of everything, bbpress, buddypress and have deactivated all plugins except for buddypress, bbpress, members and akismet. I actually even deleted and reinstalled buddypress, bbpress and members. I deactivated my theme and am using the default buddypress one.

The site is visually a mess: http://www.tafaforum.com/

I am the only one who can post on the forums. Everything was fine until yesterday when several plugins updated, including bbpress. I had also been mucking around with trying to get a tinymce plugin to work for the forums.

If I disable everything and just have bbpress, I can post (as a fake member). Add buddypress, and I get a “You cannot reply to this topic” message at the bottom.

I messed around with roles and have enabled everything possible that could contribute to this, but the one thing that I notice is that the members all have an author role for their wordpress roles (as I want them to post on our blog), and even though they all show participant for their forum roles on the Users Page, when I go into the settings for the roles, I only see the author role as having any users, not the participant one.

Yes, this could be a buddypress or members issue, but bbpress is the one that had the latest update, so I figure that the problem starts here. If not, please send me where I need to go….

Show Tooltip Preview of Thread when Hovering

This is NOT about previewing before posting. Wondering how to show the first X words of a thread as a tooltip when hovering over the thread link. Any plugins? Code?

Recent Replies defaults to first reply

Published on December 5th, 2013 by Toxed2loss

I’m running wordpress 3.7.1, using Twenty-twelve, and Bbpress 2.5.1.have my site is www.theholisticchatterbox.com If you go to this page and click on any of the “recent Reply” links, it will take you to the first page of the replies. You have to click on the page numbers above to get to the last page. It started doing this after the last update. How can I fix it? I’ve looked in the widget & appearance menus. I’ve removed it and reinstalled it. Please help?

Forum Search Bar Location

Published on December 5th, 2013 by mtraps

Hi There, Just installed bbPress and I love it, but one thing:

On the main front page of the forum where it displays all topics the search bar is at the bottom and I would much prefer it to be at the top. Which .php file would I need to go to, to fix this? Thanks in advance!
