I am running the latest WordPress and bbPress. Few days back everything was ok. But somehow I am noticing that when making new replies, it’s not showing up in frontend single topic display. It’s showing up after few hours I guess. But it’s normally showing in admin area. There is no caching plugin installed.
Some weird behaviour:
1. The reply count is showing on topic list page. But not showing on single topic.
2. Showing on widget, but their order is not right.
Not sure whats coming wrong.
Hey everyone,
I converted my vbulletin forum to bbpress and everything works fine except the redirection of the old urls part.
I want to redirect old vbulletin urls to the new bbpress ones using .htaccess but i have no idea how to do it. I’m still new to URL redirection.
Old vBulletin URL:
http://www.forum.site.com/showthread.php?80-post-title
New bbPress URL:
http://www.site.com/forums/topic/post-title
Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it.
Hey all,
I thought I would have a go at creating a quick and easy theme for people to get started using bbPress. This was built fairly quickly using one of my other themes (which are based off the default bbPress files).
If you want to check it out then have a look at: http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/content/bbpress-theme-invision-or-phpbb-feel or check it out on github https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs.
The theme allows you to get more of a phpBB or invision look to your forum. It uses the functions I posted previously on bbPress.org along with some css to get the forum looking nice by installing the theme. The forum should be pretty fluid so it will fit any width of site.
Good luck, I hope this helps!
In any theme file (preferably header.php), how can I check if the current page is a bbp-user-page, the pages that show info regarding the bbp-user. Using bbp_is_user_home() I can see if the current user is on his user-page, but I need to check if the user-page is current regardless of who is viewing it. Anyone know how? Thanks
Hi, I’ve got a bug to report.
You can point to a user page that does not exist and you will be sent the same profile overview / edit except all the details are blank. For example; http://www.teamolympia.eu/forums/users/asdhas1asd
I’m running into an odd problem, I need to apply some custom changes to the base forums page/index, which would be easy except for this issue: If I try to get the url, title, or any value of the index page, it uses all the values from the last Category in that forum. To further clarify, if my 4 main categories of my forum index are:
– Forums –
Basketball
Football
Volleyball
Tennis
And on this index page wherever I use echo the_title();, it will show “Tennis” instead of “Forums”. It does this for ANY wp variable/function etc. The Forum Index simply uses the values of the last category. If I change the order of the categories, or add a new forum, the forum index values will change to the last descending forum. This is making it impossible for me to print specific information out on the forums index page.
Anyone have any idea what the issue is that’s causing it? I’ve played around with permalinks, pages, posts etc… it always does the same thing.
I’ve seen this in several topics, but wasn’t sure if its the same thing I am looking for, but how do you hide the editor until its inside a post? Like to create a “New Topic” button on the sidebar, then that opens a post page, and then if you are in a topic it will allow, but if just browsing the main forum archives / subforum archives / grandchild archives it does not show the editor. Is this possible?
All I want is a way to print the name of the parent category for any given bbPress page from the header.php file of my theme.
I need something as simple as:
echo forum_name($forum->forum_parent);
Although that doesn’t work for me. Anyone know how to get the parent name? Thanks!
Hello.
Before I install bbpress I want to check out some common things:
1. Is there any reputation or award system? I found only solution for buddypress not for bbress – https://bbpress.org/plugins/?ps=award
2. Can registered bbress users comment usual WP posts?
3. Is it possible to check any statistic of each user post number last day\week\month
4. Is it possible to make custom post types? For example to collect specific statistic or to use different page templates for each of them?
5. Is it possible to manage URLs? For example I don’t want to have *forums* or *post* in URL etc.
Thank you.
Is it possible to have an email notification go out to all existing forum members for each new topic, once that topic is approved by forum moderator?
