bbPress.org

How can i get the same editor to work in Buddypress 1.5.6 group forums? I know about an editor for text comments. But I’m using Disqus for comments. Would the text for comments editor interfere with the fancy text editor in bbpress forums and disqus comments? It’s not really a big deal,but it would be nice to know and absolutely make my day. Hopefully this can become a new feature in the future.

Havent found definitive answers anywhere since most everyone who has tried to install a bbPress theme to a current version of the bbPress plugin for WP has discovered that the stock instructions on the bbPress.org wiki and elsewhere are outdated/wrong. If you are not using stock TwentyTen as your parent theme, bbPress theming is broken out of the box – you get a theme broken/not installed message from your admin panel.

When bbPress thusly reverts to its stock look it’s ugly, unusable, and broken. Currently my forums at txmma.com/forum do not work properly as a result. when you drill down and actually try to read a topic you cannot. no content comes up. That’s outside of the fact that aesthetically there’s nothing there you would want to use.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed a third party bbPress theme or rolled their own, with the plugin version of bbPress, when using a custom WordPress theme (i.e. not TwentyTen).

Copying the theme files as directed in the bbPress.org instructions is useless as many have discovered.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

I am using the members plugin with the role manager enabled. When I show the various roles under the users menu, it gives a count of their capabilities. When I select a role to edit, it shows the capabilities of the role–however, it shows fewer capabilities than the number shown in the count. The more capabilities the role has, the greater the number of hidden capabilities–for example, the administrator role has 93 roles in the count, but only 82 show up when I select the edit button for it. Is there a way to show the hidden capabilities? Why are they there? Is this something to worry about? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

hi all,

quick question. using content-aware sidebar, which seems to work well … except on the user page, where they can view/edit profile (/forums/users/), as well as the ‘tagged’ pages (/forums/topic-tag).

if its all the same, can i just remove the sidebar from those pages? in future releases, will there be any option to determine bbpress sidebars? it just seems relatively fundamental to determine what appears on a forum. thoughts/advice?

thanks!

Hi everyone

I used to have SMF installed (still does, closed it for “maintenance”). Installed the latest bbPress and WordPress 3.4.1

The forum seems to work fine, I cna post and see all posts when Im logged in as the administrator. I created a new common user and created a post but when not logged in or logged in as the new user (test) the post is gone (404. The requested page was not found).

I also have the stream as a widget and I can see the post and read it when Im logged in as admin but otherwise it’s gone.

I have been fiddling some with the slug names but I cannot see how that would mess things up (Forums base = forum and Forum slug = forums). I’d like to have the forum url to be mysite.pp.se/forum (tyrell-corporation.pp.se is my domain).

All help is appreciated

Hello all,

It’s been a while since I’ve used bbPress. I’m attempting to use v2.1 on a WordPress site with a custom template. However, when using bbp-theme-compat, the forum appears BELOW the sidebars. If I switch to twentyten, it appears ABOVE the sidebars.

Is this just a simple CSS tweak or do I need to try something else? Thanks!

Hi can you tell me whats the best way to rollback to a previous version of bbPress please?

I need to reinstall v2.0.3 from v2.1.

Thank you!

Hi all,

To help promote anonymous posters to post questions, I’d like to put up some sort of permanent notice information box above the forums to display said message.
Any ideas what file/code I need to be playing with, as a start?

I had just gotten bbPress 2.0 to play nicely with Magazine Basic… Now, nothing works.

Help?

Little background will help:

I started with a standalone version of bbPress, deeply integrated. I have made each and every update to WordPress and bbPress, now on current versions. I have other sites with WordPress and bbPress but this is the only one that is quirky and the only one that was standalone.

The issue: several plugins I install will not give me access to their admin/configuration page. Site says I do not have proper permissions. I have tried deactivating all plugins and only activating one of the problem plugins to no avail. I still cannot get access to its settings. I am at a loss. Too many users to start over.

Lastly. Is there a list of things I can delete from the old standalone installation? Tables from the database??

Thanks for any help.
