My new forum is not showing a sidebar as the other pages in my network blog install is doing, correctly. Any tip on how to remedy this?
I also get this but not sure if it has anything to do with the sidebar not showing.
“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”
Thanks.
I’m trying to make my forums’ home page display what you get when you put in a page. I am editing “archive-forum.php” to do so, since the result will be a more fleshed out version of archive-forum.php anyway.
“Echo do_shortcode” doesn’t seem to work in the .php file, and I’ve been screwing around with this and trying out different strings of PHP code for about six hours straight.
In reality, I will be showing two different categories with the [bbp-single-forum-id=$forum_id] code, each with several forums in them. I’ll have to add some extra divs for the names of the categories, but I can do that myself.
Whatever happens, I don’t care if I use a shortcode or if I use PHP; but if POSSIBLE, I’d rather not add anything to my functions.php. But I’ll do what I must.
Thanks in advance.
I’d like to have the topics have the newest replies at the top, rather than the oldest as it is by default.
Fixes I’ve found here say to edit the topic.php file, but I don’t have a topic.php file.
I also search for the code and can’t find it in any of my files.
Which file in Twentyten do I edit, and what lines?
Thanks!

BTW, This did not work for me.
“Find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).”
Should I be editing page-create-topic.php, form-topic.php, single-topic.php… or what?
I’ve found 3 different fixes here for hiding the topic tags input field, but nothing works for me.
____________________________
Here is the input on the page:
<p>
<label for=”bbp_topic_tags”>Topic Tags:</label>
<input type=”text” value=”” tabindex=”103″ size=”40″ name=”bbp_topic_tags” id=”bbp_topic_tags” />
</p>
____________________________
Is this the CSS file I edit?
wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-twentyten > css > bbpress.css
____________________________
Here is the tags area there:
div.bbp-breadcrumb,
div.bbp-topic-tags {
font-size: 12px;
}
#content div.bbp-breadcrumb p,
#content div.bbp-topic-tags p {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
div.bbp-topic-tags {
float: right;
}
____________________________
Although on the web page, as you can see, there are underscores, not hyphens.
I’ve tried div.bbp_topic_tags {display: none;} etc. to no avail.
Please explain clearly for this non-coder how to hide the input.
Thanks!
As I’m sure many of you have noticed, bbPress is often the subject of spam attacks. Usually these attacks are done by humans so it’s hard catch them automatically.
However, you can help us!
When you see a topic or reply that is spam, please tag it spammer. This will make it easier for us locate and nuke the spam instead of combing through everything manually like we do now.
Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone else confused by the 1.6 beta – forums setup ?
Using WP 3.4, BP 1.6 beta
I’m trying to get sitewide forums working.
In wp-admin: Settings-BuddyPress-Forums
I see buttons to install: Group Forums and SiteWide Forums.
I have installed SiteWide Forums and activated it.
So why does Settings-BuddyPress-Forums still have an install button ?
And do we really need a separate bbPress plugin for site-wide forums?
I can create a new forum in wp-admin
I created a page “…com/forums”
I’ve assigned it to Discussion Forums in bp-settings – Pages
If I go to that page, I get this
“The forums component has not been set up yet.”
And the Forums link does not show up in the main nav.
In Settings- Forum -Archive Slugs – Forums base is set to ‘forums’ shows this warning:
“Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page”
If I set it to ‘forumsbb’ – the warning goes away.
If I go to Forums in wp-admin and view the forum, it takes me to
“…com/forumsbb/forum//test-forum/”
But the Forums link is still not in the main nav.
And goes to /forums still gives me
“The forums component has not been set up yet.”
How to correct those issues ?
Is there any way I can set the entire forum to be available only to users that are logged in?
If not, I would manually check is_user_logged_in() but I am not sure what file I can add it that it would effect the whole forum section.
Thanks.
The problem that I am having is that once you make a forum post from the frontend and you decide you want to edit that post, the title/permalink of the post will not update/change for some reason.. I am pretty sure this is a long term bug in bbPress that no one has yet fixed/patched because I could not imagine this being by design as it makes it very difficult for the admin if users want to change the titles/permalinks of their posts because they would need to be edited via the backend. The title of the post changes but not the permalink.
Hi,
Installed a bbPress the permalink is http://www.mudomain.com/topics/topctitle1 is fine but if i am changing topictitle1 : to topictitle2 url is same http://www.mudomain.com/topics/topctitle1 no change in url
I found the bug reason its taking link title of topic which is considered as revision.And title is updated as per the post id and not in the revesion.
Is any solution for this?
Can I adjust the colors for TinyMCE for bbPress?
I’ve got dark text on a dark background. I tried adding this to my child theme style.css but it doesn’t look like it has helped.
body#tinymce{height:140px;border-right-color:#aaa;border-bottom-color:#aaa;line-height:1.5em;color:#F5FAFF;border:solid 1px #555;background-color:#333;padding:5px 3px 3px 7px;}
