I already have Buddypress installed on my wordpress theme. After I install bbpress, I can’t access my dashboard anymore. When I click on dashboard I get this message:
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.
How do I fix this?!
Is it possible to limit posts to people who log in? I have installed the plug ins but have not set up the forum yet….
Good Day,
Please forgive me for being a complete Village Idiot in regards to WP + bbPress…
I am working on a 2nd site, it’s in development right now. I have BuddyPress installed and inactive, bbPress 2.1 RC 2 installed and active (working well so far, I might add).
I am also using the Custom-Community-Pro theme by ThemeKraft because the young lady that will manage this site is even more clueless than I am and needs the easy CSS updates this provides.
Per the below (copied in the text I’m referring too at bottom of post), I thought with 2.1 we no longer needed to make child themes, etc., for bbPress to match our WP theme. Am I missing something (most likely)? Do I need to still create a child theme or follow the other directions below on making bbP match my site seamlessly?
Again, my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere…
Thanks and Regards ~ Alisa
Codex Home → Theme Compatibility
As of 2.1, bbPress has built-in theme support. All required elements such as front-end editing are included. This means that all functionality will work, even when a theme has no specific bbPress coding.
All bbPress compat can be overridden using a theme or another plugin. Check bbp-theme-compat template wrappers for what a normal theme should include.
To customize bbPress::
Create a new directory within your theme root called ‘bbpress’ for example: wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/bbpress
Copy any files from bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/ to the new directory within your theme
Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in the theme
You can completely disable the included front-end elements by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php:
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
My @mentions are not working anymore. I have had literally thousands of @mentions on my site, and never had a problem. Now it’s not giving any member a notification when someone @mentions them.
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?
If you go to your profile or the activity stream and type in @admin I get a notification.
Do it on the forums, no notification.
I recently installed bbPress and BuddyPress and thought that it would look like this forum… help! My forum can be found here: http://www.mykidlist.com/forums/
Right now it takes up too much room vertically and the columns are too skinny. Can someone please help me?
I have a Buddypress site which I wish to take advantage of the sitewide forums facility.
I have done what I imagine to be all of the necessary setup required but still users cannot create new forums, replies or topics.
If anyone wishes to see my setup who may have some suggestions for me the website is www.socialmummys.com. The test account is Username: test Password: test. The tab to click on is sitewide forums.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How can I change the width of my topics and forums? I want it to go across the entire content area, but keep the sidebar on the right.
Also, I want to put a disclaimer about the forums, sticky on the top… what is the best way to do that? I tried making a forum called *read me* and added the topic “disclaimer” but the actual disclaimer doesn’t show up underneath the topic.
Here is my forum: http://www.mykidlist.com/forums/
Thanks!

The bbconverter is drastically improved and much faster in v2.1 RC2, but when importing from my bbpress1 install (> 360,000 posts) it always fails at some point by just stopping, and when I try to refresh the page it sends me back to the login screen.
My question is how to “resume” the import/convert process after leaving the dashboard and coming back. By checking the “restart” option it sounds like it will resume, but both with it checked and unchecked, when I start it over, it tries to re-import everything again and appends each forum with a /forum-name-1/ slug.
Is there a way to tell it to just import “replies” at this point? I’ve successfully brought over the forums and topics, but each has just the original post.
*Alternatively*, is there a way to reverse it so that the import starts with the most recent posts/replies/etc?? The 360k posts go back several years, and even though it times out on me, if it were importing the most recent first I’d at least have the last few months and my users would be much happier.
Hey I keep hearing that no one should have an admin account created or in use if you care about security issues so I want to delete my admin account and use another account as admin. The thing is, I already created the forums with the admin account.. what is the best way to go about this? Should I..
1: Delete The Current Forums and Just Create Them Again Or
2: Edit Via MyPhpAdmin and Pray Nothing Breaks?
Thanks

I’m running SVN builds of bbPress 2.1-rc2 and Buddypress 1.6-beta1
Some forum posts go through just fine. Others log in the Buddypress activity stream, but disappear and never show up on the forum. I’m going to go through my Apache logs to see if I can figure out more about what is happening. I’ll gladly open a bug in Trac, but first I want to make sure this is a bug and not something in my particular site config.
What can I do to help troubleshoot and vet this issue?
