bbPress.org

I tried a couple ways to put a comment form shortcode in my topic post (works outside of BBpress) but not inside. I also would like to have my topic/replies show in reverse order. Instead of default of newest to oldest I would like the most current reply on top… I don’t see an easy way to do this. I’m not using a totally compliant theme (weaver pro) since I’m about the blog more than the forum but it seems to work well enough… http://jeff-foliage.com/forums/topic/2012-fall-foliage-reports/ is my site and most recent post.

WordPress: 3.4.1.
BBPress: 2.1.2.
Site: http://www.prototype-gw2.com/forums/
Happens with default themes as well: Yes.

Hi, I`ve set up a BBPress install without much trouble, however there is some odd behaviour with private forums, namely they keep disappearing when I make changes to the forum. I use the recent topics widget, and the forums and posts are listed there as they should.

My setup is the following: 1 private category with 2 private forums. If I make 1 forum public I still can not see any forums. If I make 2 forums public I can see both forums.

Now if I make the category public and each of the forums private I can see the forums, however this time it says 0 topics and 0 replies and Freshness is “No topics” in the header. The topics and replies for the forum name is still correct though.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in the permission system? If so, is there anything I can do to help resolve it?

I am establishing a new forum on my blog now. But I cannot get the forum page with [ppb-forum-index] to look the way I want. It now looks like this:

http://pedalterapi.net/?page_id=630

But I want it to look like this:

http://pedalterapi.net/?post_type=forum

How do we align the submit button when writing a topic using the bbpress forum.

website is: www.sarenosolutions.com/forums.

where will we code the plugin to do fix this?
Tks

I just started creating a site. installed bbpress. added some categories and forums…not done yet. There is one category with around 64 subforums. when looking at the page i can only see 50 with nowhere to move to the next page or to view more.

Everything should be the latest versions. Only downloaded and installed 3 days ago. Still using default twenty eleven theme.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

im a user of bbpress, thx for your work.

http://www.*****.com/topic/123456/

many thanks

Hi all,

thanks for making such an easy forum solution, I’ve been quite pleased with how much functionality comes right out of the box.

Though I am getting confused when it comes to best practices for making some typical theme customizations so that I can keep a custom look with future updates of bbpress.

At this time, I am really only trying to change font styles and sizes and some of the coloring and minor layout items with how the forum renders to match my custom wordpress theme (built off of HTML5 boilerplate).

I’ve reviewed:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-0-theme-compatibility/ &

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

but, I don’t feel like it helped and am not sure if things have already changed since those have been written. either that or i am just lost in the number of files that seem to control the theme in bbpress with the added bbp-theme-compat files.

For instance, i am told to copy over everything from bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress directory, yet none of those files include the bbp-theme-compat/css files. which is what I will probably doing the most modification of (right?)

Then it says to copy over the bbpress/extras directory (optionally), but all I can find is the bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras directory, is this what was meant?

Again, really just want to make minor style changes that universally affect the bbpress fonts and colors, yet still want to specifically target those bbpress items.

Might increase the complexity of the customization, but right now just want to start small and use bbpress best practices so that I don’t lose my customization when upgrading anything.

thanks

When creating a new forum using the bbPress plugin, I am able to preview it, which shows it using a link such as “http://support.website.com/wordpress/?post_type=forum&p=58&preview=true”. However, after publishing and attempting to “View Forum”, I get the following 404

Not Found

The requested URL /wordpress/forums/forum/knowledge-base/ was not found on this server.

I have enabled permalinks, as you can see.

I don’t believe this has anything to do with any other plugins I am using; however, I am willing to post what those are if necessary.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Has nothing to do with bbpress, but why does every initial post in a new subject always have a date of 42 years, 7 months ago? It seems quite odd; and, makes it difficult when searching on a subject or keyword to know whether the topic is timely or not.
Thought I’d just ask…..

Totally new to bbpress and buddypress; very experienced in WP.
One of our sites is a public site that services a new interest group. There is an informal small number of people (a fraction of total visitor population who visit the WP site) who are very active in developing the group and expanding the geographical adaption of the subject of the website. They interface with municipal departments, community events organizations, the educational community (public and private), etc; all of whom will be invited to participate in this private forum.
The Goal: We need a separate forum for this group where they can communicate within on each persons results and ideas on a number of projects. We don’t care if these people are already registered users of the WP site. In other words, it’s just fine if the forum is ‘stand-alone’ with it’s own registration. It does have to be private however; i.e., the opening home page needs to be a log-in page not showing the forum(s) content, and access is only available to registered users who will be added by the forum administrators only.

Not being at all informed on either bbpress or buddypress, and not finding the answers I need after many hours of reading through both the bbpress and buddypress sites, I installed bbpress in a subdomain to the WP install. (I used the Simple Scripts install from the hosting company we use, so I’m assuming that it was not a plugin install, but instead a full bbpress install; which appears to be working fine – just not provding me with the secured login we need.)
So the Questions: Is bbpress the right choice here, or should I be looking at something else? If something else, I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
