Is there a way to change the page template the forum loads in?

Hey folks,

How do I allow guests to post attachments with the GD ATTACHMENTS PLUGIN?

It let’s me (admin) do it, but when I sign out, it doesn’t?

WordPress Ver: 3.5.1
bbPress Ver: 2.2.4
———————-

I can add Forums and Topics in the frontend page but can’t add “Replies”…

To analyse this issue, I did the following things.
1. Deactivated plugins other than bbPress –> No change
2. Switch the theme to Twenty eleven –> No change
3. Change the web brouser from IE to Google chrome –> No change
4. downgraded WordPress ver. to 3.4.2 –> No change
5. downgraded bbPress ver. to 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 under WordPress Ver.3.4.2 –> No change
6. downgraded bbPress ver. to 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 under WordPress Ver.3.5.1 –> No change

Therefore I think the rootcause is in bbPress itself.

I really need the help from the people who know a lot on bbPress as soon as possible.

Hello, I am using lates bbpress 2.2.4 plugin with wordpress 3.5.1, php 5.4.3 & php 5.3.2.
This plugin is showing me many issues specially for user pages (profile, edit, etc.)
I am using twenty twelve theme, very little customized.

1) I wanted to set a different sidebar for bbpress forum pages than other wordpress pages, so I checked and found the default template used by bbpress is ‘page.php’. I copied it, renamed to ‘forum.php‘ and added a new dynamic sidebar and commented default sidebar. It worked fine and now I can set any widget to this sidebar. I have checked that either I place ‘forum.php’ or ‘forums.php’ both working fine similar. Not sure which one is more correct.

2) On the bbpress users pages the profile content and edit form is not displaying full in widht cutting as its width overridden by sidebar, breaking layout. The content area ‘primary’ div is given a width in theme and having ‘secondary’ as sidebar. All other contents properly adjusted on every bbpress pages, but only this bbpress user profile edit page have the issue. The form should also be adjusted within the content area. Ex. url: http://mysite.com/forums/users/testuser/edit

3) Now, suppose to fix the issue mentioned above in point 3), I want to remove sidebar from users pages and give the primary content area more full width, how I can do it? One way is to forcibly hide the sidebar with css and make primary content wider with !important. But I want a way to change user pages template. Is it possible to have different template for user pages than bbpress other pages? I found that users pages also generating using ‘page.php’, in my case ‘forum.php’ template now. I tried alot by copying and changing ‘page.php’ to ‘user.php’, ‘users.php’, etc. but its not working. Please let me know how can I set user pages to use a different template file and rest bb pages use my forum.php or forums.php whatever.

4) For any user when I click ‘topic started’ or ‘replies created’ link, both show counts properly but the table didn’t appear. I checked in firebug, it present there but hidden somehow. Same issue mentioned here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-topics-or-replies-posts-not-being-displayed/ , I tried with the same thing, but till now no proper solution there. Please let me know proper way to fix it.

5) If suppose I want to completely hide the user-profile links on all bbpress forum/topic authors, on all bb pages, I mean want to display only author gravatars and usernames but want no link on them, so other people cannot go to their profile pages, how can I do that? A little help given here http://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/show-the-author-but-hide-its-link, but its not working properly. But I think it can be done with right filters in the same way. Please let me know with sample code.

6) Used the official facebook plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/ , and displayed the like button, like box for my facebook page using it in my site footer, header etc. But I found that on the user pages like edit profile, profile view etc. facebook widgets are completely disabled and not visible. On other bbpress forum pages they are displaying well. I checked with page source and found even facebook sdk is not embeded in page source. Their must be an conflict on bbpress user pages with facebook sdk which stopping it to be enqueued. This need to be checked and fixed.

These all issues mentioned here are serious issues with bbpress specially for user pages and must be solved and have proper solutions.
I dont expect from a single person to answer or fix all of above points, but hope different people will help me for different points (just mentioning points in their replies).

Further I expect from bbpress authors to work on these issues and release a fixed version. May be some of above points just because of lack some documentation, so they can mention some solution in its FAQ itself, so people having same problems can get help without searching or posting here in forum.

This is with bbpress 2.2.4. If I switch to default settings under permalinks, all is well. I want to use Day and Name option, but when I do this I notice that attempting to go to a sub forum under a category would return a file not found error.

So I looked at the URL’s and I am getting:

http://mysite.com/site-forums/site-forum/support/bug-reports/

However when I delete the /support from the URL string and use this:

http://mysite.com/site-forums/site-forum/bug-reports/

Everything works and the correct forum is displayed. Is there somewhere I can edit that will take the forum parent topic out of the sub-forum’s URL?

Hi there,

Is it possible to make a disclaimer pop-up box appear before a user is able to post a new topic or reply?

As I am using bbPress with Buddypress, I would like my users to be reminded about whether they are in a public or private group, just before they submit their post. I was hoping there could be something like a privacy disclaimer that would pop on the screen, that users have to tick and agree to.

If in a public group, the disclaimer would say:
“You are about to post in a public group. Your content will be visible to all users”

If in a private group, the disclaimer would say:
“You are about to post in a private group. Your content will be visible to all members of this group”

Is something like this possible? Thank you

I have a forum section that’s already populated with quite a few posts. Thing is it would make a lot more sense for this forum to be part of a new group I’d like to make for it. So how would I go about associating an old forum with a new group, instead of creating a new forum for that group?

I basically want to do what I can already do for old group forum imports with “Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships” in the Tools section, except now I want to “Create new Group Forum relationship”.

It’s possible feed the newest topics?

My forum base is: http://zombeats.es/comunidad/

I’m trying but I cant not. (with URL-BASE/topics/feed and others methods)

I Have different forums and subforums inside

I want have this result!

Hi,

I’ve just installed bbPress on WordPress, but the weird thing is that I don’t even see the Forums tab, which should allow me to create forums. Tried to find what it could be already, but unfortunately without any luck.

Could someone help out?

Thanks in advance.
