Getting the entire bbPress installation into the same directory

Published on October 3rd, 2013 by Holly

About a week ago, I asked how to change the directory of the forum I’m setting up in dev. At the time, I had a bare install, and the response I received seemed to meet my needs.

However, this simply moved the index page. At this point, my database guy has started importing the data from my existing phpBB3 forum, and what seemed to be an elegant fix has left me with the same problem I had before. The index page looks great, but when you click through to ANY category or forum, the board immediately takes you from:

Home/Classrooms/Forums

Which is the setup I need, to…

Home/Forums

Which is going to dump my signed-in students outside of the classroom when they use the breadcrumbs.

Basically, I need to find a way to have my forum and topic posts and their hierarchy recognize the Classroom page as their parent. Or something that will give me the same result when my users try to navigate the breadcrumbs back to their classes.

Problem with email alerts for new replies when SUBSCRIBED to a topic

Published on October 3rd, 2013 by palmakan

Hello all,

I am running wordpress 3.61 with bbpress 2.4.

My readers often subscribe to topics and receive all email notifications when anyone posts in the topic.

Yesterday when I was posting it suddenly stopped sending email alerts to readers but just for my replies. Everyone else was getting them including me for all others. Later it started working all by itself again.

This morning the same thing happened. It just affected my replies as everyone else including me were getting everyones replies on that topic.

I searched for the problem and I just could not find it.

Then I looked at my replies to see if there was some connection between yesterday and today.

Then I noticed both times it was after I made 2 very quick posts in succession within a minute or so.

Is this some anti spam kicking in built into wordpress/bbpress. It cannot be my webhost as bbpress is using the same SMTP server throughout for all and teh email alerts carry on working for all, just they do not get any for any further replies I make in that thread for a while.

Any help appreciated as this is indeed intriguing.

Email notifications using SUBSCRIBE button erratic.

Login Logout Updates Problem

Published on October 3rd, 2013 by dexterindustries

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this: I (as admin) and other non-admins can’t seem to see fresh contents of the forum without logging in and logging out.

For example, if I reply to a post on a thread, I can succesfully post with no problems. However, to be able to see the updated thread, with the post I just made, I need to log out and log back in.

I have WP 3.6.1 running.
bbPress v 2.4
bbPress Custom Reply Notifications 1.0.1
” New Topic Notifications 1.1
” Notify 0.2.1
” Threaded Replies 0.4.3
” Signature 1.1

My site is www.dexterindustries.com/forum

(Also a note of thanks: this is an awesome piece of software and was super-easy to get going. Thanks for making it!!)

My sidebar is missing from the forum page – how do I add it?

Published on October 3rd, 2013 by Deadfate

I am using bbPress Version 2.4 and WordPress 3.6.1. I am using the Twenty Eleven theme v1.6.

On my page http://www.deadfate.com/forums/ I don’t have the sidebar that displays on every other page on my site. How can I add that? I am new to using wordpress so the more details the better.

Thanks in advance.

How to change name in cookie crumb

Published on October 3rd, 2013 by Deadfate

I am using bbPress Version 2.4 and WordPress 3.6.1. I am using the Twenty Eleven theme v1.6.

On my page http://www.deadfate.com/forums/ the cookie crumb says “About Us>Forums”. I want to change the ‘About Us’ to ‘Home’. The About Us already links to the homepage, but the text is wrong.

How can I change that?

Thanks in advance.

forum only visible when logged in / widget also?

Published on October 3rd, 2013 by schampf

Hi,

I have installed bbPress and I was wondering …

– I only want the forum to be visible when a user has logged in, so any one except anonymous can see the forums… (i mean the page where you can actually see the forums & topics ..)

– I also want the widget with the forum categories to be visible only for the logged in users (I’ve done this with dynamic widgets)

– and finally I want the menu-item that points to the forums also only visible to any one except anonymous …

– the contents of the forum should not be indexed by search engines, i think i can do this with robots.txt?

thanks !

Display topics in order of creation (not freshness)

Published on October 2nd, 2013 by Cory

I created a page on our site and I’m using code from the “Newest Topics” template to make this page generate the most recent topics.

But this shows me the most recent activity, not the most recent topics. So, any topic that gets a new response then becomes the most recent topic, even if it was started a long time ago.

What I WANT to show are the most recently started topics, like the Newest Topics widget shows. Is there an adjustment I can make?

Can I include a new query in my page template that will order them differently?

Is there a different template for this altogether?

WP_Post Error When Forum Opens

Published on October 2nd, 2013 by nathan1342

I’ve installed bbpress, WordPress 3.6.1 and 2.4 for bbpress, and when I goto open the forum i get this error “Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Post’ not found in D:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-test\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\core\theme-compat.php on line 375”

Anyone encountered this before and know how to fix it? I’ve searched the forums but came up empty.

Thanks!

Regular Topics Not Showing But Sticky's Display

Published on October 2nd, 2013 by Frank_F19

I just installed bbPress and I’m having this odd issue where sticky posts will display but regular topic posts will not.

For example, if I have 3 topics and one is sticky it will say “this forum contains 3 topics” but only the sticky topic will display.

I’ve tried posting topics using different accounts (both administrative and regular) with no luck. Any idea why only sticky topics would display?
