Showcase – WardenGamers.com

Published on October 28th, 2013 by ndugger

There’s still plenty of work left for me to do, but I figured I’d share anyways.

WardenGamers.com

It’s a community with its own game servers that users can chat, play games together, etc. I have also used BuddyPress for the private messaging system, but I might even switch that out. I’ve made a few modifications here and there to get the forums to display like your traditional forums do, and I’m quite happy with the result so far.

Let me know your thoughts!

Changing forum colours

Published on October 28th, 2013 by fpats

Hi, i’ve set up my theme which is a deep red and installed BBpress successfully, which of course is all grey. Everything works great but the colours are a mess.

Is there a quick & easy way to change all the colours or does it involve changing 100s of lines of CSS ? A plugin maybe?

I tried installing some themes from bbpshowcase.org but none of them seem to work.

thanks alot

bbPress Post Toolbar plugin–Smiley organization?

Published on October 28th, 2013 by RealitiesCrossed

I’ve got the bbPress post toolbar plugin installed to bbPress on my WordPress site, which is a private roleplay site for myself and a couple of friends…but two out of the current three of us are feeling a bit OCD about the arrangement of the smilies.

We have emotes I have created and/or some I have gotten permission to use that represent each character we play with, a full range of emotions, hug emotes etc. for each character, which right now is probably 60 odd smilies, all characters combined.

I have worked out how to arrange the names of the smilies in the package-config file to keep the characters relatively organized, but I’ve tried adding line breaks between each of the character sets and all that does is break the entire website down until I remove them, I can’t seem to edit package-config outside adding new smilie codes without crashing the site…but what I would love to know is this:

Is there a way that I can insert line breaks or separate the smilies into tabs somehow by character rather than having them all smushed into one big group?

edit: WordPress 3.6 and bbPress 2.3.2 are running on my site, I haven’t gotten around to the WP update and refused to upgrade bbPress because a plugin I was using was incompatible with the new version and I didn’t wish to break it.

Migration from bbpress 1.x to 2.x and permalinks

Published on October 28th, 2013 by

Greetings,

I’ve migrated my bbpress install to from 1.x to 2.x (latest) and I didn’t noticed that there was a “change” in the permalinks structure.

Now google webmaster tools is complaining that I have a lot of 404 errors.

With bbpress 1.x the the “dots” where removed from permalinks, after the migration the “dots” where converted from “.” to “-”

Topic name: “Example 2.6.1”
old permalink: /topic/example-261
new permalink: /topic/example-2-6-1

The problem is that now, even if I fix the permalinks to behave like they where in 1.x, I will have 404 errors for the new items already indexed. So, is there any way to “redirect” the “old” permalinks to the new ones?

At this moment google webmaster tools is reporting 2.133 404 errors

Thank you!

"Hack tool, please contact support"

Published on October 28th, 2013 by Nick Ottens

I tried logging onto my bbPress forums from a mobile device just now and it gave me just a white screen with the following text: “Hack tool, please contact support.” I asked me host about it and they suggested I try bbPress so here I am. Anyone had the same experience? Anyone know what it’s about?

I managed to log on on my PC and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

Freshness of the forums list as a normal date

Published on October 27th, 2013 by baylock

Hello,

I read a lot of questions around here related to the change of the freshness to a simple date.
But each one of the answers are related to a forum posts lists.
What I want is to display the last post date in the freshness column of the forums lists.

How would i do that?

I believes this has something to do with this line:
$time_since = bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum_id );

Or maybe this one:
apply_filters( 'bbp_get_post_time', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );

But how to get the normal date from that (d-m-Y), it’s a mystery to me.

Thank you for your help.

Theme issues

Published on October 27th, 2013 by tansu

Hello,
I am very new to bbpress.
I have successfully convert my 54000 user vbulletin forum in to bbpress. Also converted more than 1 gigabyte contents database without issues. There were some problematic turkish characters but i solved that issue too.
But, i am sure it was a very well written document about how to modify and adding new themes to bbpress, I understand completely nothing from them. I also read forum topics about the issue, but most of them pointing the links where the docs are.
I also tried copying folders and files in to wordpress themes directory or my theme’s directory, nothing is happening. Most probably i did not understand anything from the docs here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Can someone please explain to me what to do like explaining to an idiot.Assume my wordpress theme’s name is “wptheme” and please direct me into it by real examples like: Put your wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/bbpress folder to wp-content/themes/wordpresstheme folder. or whatever is true 🙂
Best regards

Posts not showing up for guests?

Published on October 27th, 2013 by Center11Forward

Hi,

I am having an issue with my BBpress installation. For some reason, all posts AFTER the original post in a thread are not showing up to guests – They seem to display fine to logged in users…

Any idea on how to resolve this?
