bbPress.org

I have a technical issue and its saying that I can’t post a topic in Buddypress???? Not sure what to do…. when I click “support”, it gives me a 404 error and says the page can not be found. In the same page there is a “Create A Topic” link but when I click it, it says that I can’t create topics at this time.

Clean wordpress, buddypress and bbpress install (again) and I still can’t get a ‘forums’ tab on the site.

I know this is an extremely basic step, and I’ve spent hours and several re-installs to attempt the ‘forums’ or ‘forum’ or ‘board’ or anything tab to link to a sitewide forum.

I’ve never understood the heirarchy of wordpress (obviously) but I seem to always manage. This one is really has me. I can directly navigate to it in the browser but all I can ever get is a blank page when any tab might appear.

I’m also aware that this isn’t listed in the bbpress codex since I’m sure it’s on page 2 of beginning wordpress.

Any help? Many thanks in advance.

Perhaps my brain is just fried, but when I search for bbPress themes, TONS of stuff comes up, but is this all mostly for an older version of bbPress that wasn’t a WordPress plugin?

I’m trying to replace a Vanilla Forum’s installation, but so far the process hasn’t been super-smooth.

I’ve found a few standalone wordpress themes that are aimed at bbPress users, but I want to integrate bbPress into my current site. Typically, I’d find a theme that is “close”, and then dig through it to make it fit within my site.

Am I approaching this the wrong way? I feel like there’s something simple I must be overlooking, as every other forum has had a simple theme installation process.

My website is amanofreason.com. I would like people to have the option to sign up as member in the forum section but I do not want it to be required for them to be members to post. Does anyone know any good plug-ins or ways to achieve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, our bbpress sitewide forum has WYSIWYG editor on it, but when I go to the private group forums, there are not option to Bold, Italic, Link, attach a picture or anything. Is there anyway I can extend this functionality to the private group forums? Private groups are where people would communicate most in our situation.

Any help would be appreciated.

My site is amanofreason.com and I have created a forum. However, I can only access that forum through the search bar. I would like to link my forum to a specific WP page to make it more visible and easier to access. Any help on how to link the forum and the page together would be much appreciated.

I’ve just released the new Dall’Uva Forums for Italian wine, food, travel and culture on our website at dalluva.com.  I’ve integrated it into the site with Buddypress and the Woocommerce plugin (using the Woo Themes Whitelight Theme).

Have a look sometime.  http://www.dalluva.com/member-area/forums/

I just noticed a rather annoying problem for bbPress users try to post a new topic to my Forum.  Here’s the sequence of events:

• A registered user tries to create a new topic by typing in their topic text in the editor window
• The user forgets to enter in a Title for the topic
• The user clicks the Submit button
• bbPress redisplays that Forum page with the error message

  Your topic needs a title.

• The text that the user had previously entered has vanished.

Now, granted the user can click his Back button and get back to the text he entered, but not all users are that enlightened.  They simply get frustrated that all of their text has disappeared, likely giving up or at least irritated at my Forum.

Any idea why this is happening? I can’t tell if this is a bbPress problem or a WordPress problem.

Thanks.
Michael

I am pleased to release this clean theme for non-tech people.
It is basically bootstrap child theme and bbpress styling of default bbpress template.
I have hard time to figure out new bbpress plugin and theme. Now I have some clue…with lots of googling. One thing I couldn’t do is “Previous/Next Topic” navigation while seeing single topic.

Please refer here to download theme.
WordPress Bootstrap + bbPress

Any suggestion welcome.

Hi

I can’t seem to get my forums working. I’ve downloaded a modified twenty eleven theme that is already set up for BBPress, and have downloaded and activated the BBPress plugin. I’ve created the forums page and create a forum, which appears to all users when not logged in, but as soon as they log in and click on the forums page, they get the “Well this is embarrassing…” message. What am I doing wrong?
