bbPress.org

I have a WP 3.4.2 multisite subdomain installation, with buddypress and bbpress. However, my bbpress is activated locally only on a subdomain, where I have a couple of forums. Since upgrading to 2.2 (actually, I didn’t detect the problem until 2.2.2), my menu forums page no longer shows a directory of my forums. The menu is set to http://subdomain.domain.com/forums/. What changed and how do I get it back to showing the links to the forums when the menu item is clicked (like it did before the upgrade)?

WordPress Version: 3.4.2
bbPress Version: 2.2.2
Theme: Custom Community

Hello, I am considering changing my site from phpBB3 forums to bbPress to better integrate with my WordPress home page.

I’m attempting to Import my forums into my test site, on another database, to test bbPress’ “Import Forums”. I’ve filled out all the necessary information, but the first time I ran it I got messages at the bottom that 0 Members had been imported 0 posts, etc all the way down the line. I tried running it again and I get this message:

“Fatal error: Class ‘Example’ not found in /homepages/33/d410891000/htdocs/THEMETEST/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 1291”

I’ve attempted to reset the process by choosing to Purge Previous Import and save, then Start Over and save, but I continue to get the same message when I try to import.

I tried to resolve this on my own, but I searched for an hour online before I even found that bbPress has an importer built in! Unfortunately stuff from the last five years had priority in the search. Also, I could not find a search on this site, so I started Googling “bbpress.org import forums” but still no answers, so any help would be appreciated.

One more thing: I don’t have so many members that I couldn’t create their accounts myself if I *had* to, so if anyone knows of an easier way to just import the forums and posts, that might work.

Thanks in advance for your time.

To add standard wp post_tag support for BBPress – Post Type – Topic… I added the following code starting about line 557 to bbpress/bbpress.php


// Topic Taxonomies
$post_type['taxonomies'] = array(
'post_tag'
);

// Register Topic content type
register_post_type(
bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
apply_filters( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', array(
'taxonomies' => $post_type['taxonomies'],


To get the topics to show on regular wordpress tag pages I used the snippet from Justin Tadlock edited for tag pages and post type topic.

After limited testing, everything seems to work as I wanted – bbpress topics show up on regular post_tag archive pages – as long as the tag is added to the topic from the Admin side.

Because I know enough abut wordpress to occasionally be dangerous, my questions:

1. Is this a bad idea for some reason I don’t know about?
2. Provided it’s not a terrible idea, Is there a way to future proof this hack? I tried creating a bbpress directory in my themes main directory and adding the edited bbpress.php there, but it didn’t work.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,

JW

I’m trying to understand if/how it is possible to call BuddyPress functions outside the forum (in a regular WP page). The Codex isn’t of much help…

I am trying to create a latest topics list and a forums list on regular WP pages (home.php, index.php), etc.

Thanks for the help !

Dear community.

I have spent the last few (5) hours reading the various posts, trying to get bbpress to integrate with my custom WP theme. Unfortunately, I don’t have the knowledge (or enough) to figure out how to make the two work together.

Info
Wordpress: 3.4.2
Site link: http://www.restorationcoach.com/restoration_coach/forums/
Using this theme: http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/39849.html
bbpress: 2.2

My main issue seams to be css related. I think bbpress is and the theme are sharing css files, causing a funky appearance. Overall forum function seems to be working fine.

So far I’ve done the following.

Completely removed bbpress and installed new 2.2 version.
Read: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ (this is for customizing the bbpress theme, if you want? And if you don’t, then leave the install as is?)
Watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB2Oodx2GJw (not sure if this applies with 2.2)
Switched to Twentyeleven: Looks better, side bar is missing, and footer contact form, map and links are over top one another.

I can see in firebug where both style.css and bbpress.css are being used to style the forum. Most specifically #page-content ul li. This, I believe, is causing the issues but not quite sure how to fix it.

Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Hi,

I would like to ask – is there any function that returns the current forum description. By “forum description”, I mean the string that you can specify in WordPress GUI when creating new forum.

Thanks!

The latest update make all the “forum” content from my forums disappear. How do I rollback to previous version?

There is filter called twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size in user-details.php. Is this intentional, or should it be like bbpress_author_bio_avatar_size?

OK I upgraded to BBPRESS 2.2 and now I have this issue.

How to I get rid of the HOME/FORUM text kicking my FORUM to the right?
