Where do I go in to tell bbpress to pull bbpress.php and use it as the wrapper for all forums and topics therein. Please help!

Thanks in advance. Been working on this for a while with no luck.

I have spent countless hours trying to solves this but im still having no luck. I have trawled through google and the bbpress forum but can’t seem to find a solution.

While updating a website for a client they asked for buddpress to be removed as no one was using the social network side of the site, and a stand alone forum be put in place, hence bbpress.

I started off by removing the buddypress plugin and all it files, deleted the bb-config.php and dropped all the tables in the database with the prefix wp_bp.

I installed the latest bbpress plugin from within the wordpress admin and activated it, then created a few test forums and topics.

The forum displays fine when the default permalink structure is used however when I turn pretty permalinks on all the pages go to a 404 page not found.

I have tried adding Options +Multiview and Options -Multiview to the .htaccess. I have tried setting the bbpress mod_rewrite to true and false but still no luck.

I have also tried chmod 777 the .htaccess file.

Here is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .join-hello*

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*helloecoliving.com.* [OR]

# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule . – [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

</IfModule>

</IfModule>

This is driving me crazy all my other custom post types work!

Any help is appreciated!

I’ve seen this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and this is bbpress V1.1, so I don’t know if it is already solved. Maybe someone can give me feedback on this, so I can trac a ticket if it is still a bug.

The new WordPress.com startpage has tabs with some subpages, and this subpages have URLs like this:

http://de.wordpress.com/#!/topics/

bbpress is failing on the URL detection. Maybe you will see the problem in this post too. If not, here is a link for you:

http://de.forums.wordpress.com/topic/grosere-auswahl-an-bloggern-in-themen-erwunscht?replies=2#post-17127

Is this still a problem in the newest version of bbpress?

i’m sorry to post a thread here, but if any one can tell me how i can edit my signature will be appreciated.

hi~ bbPress is really great and I do love it. however, when i transferred my wordpress to a new server. something bad happen.

when I enable the bbPress, an error message shows up:”Warning: Creating default object from empty value in webwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-includesbbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84″

I guess it has something to do with this code ‘$bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;’

could anyone give me some instruction?

the theme i use is the default Twentyeleven Century.

thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,

I have forum (bbPress 2.0.2) where replay order is set to DESC (users wish) and if topic has more than 1 page, than links to posts are wrong because of pagination.

For better understanding, I’ll give you an example:

Forum has a topic which contains replays in 5 pages.

replay #xx in page 2 has link http://samplepage/forum/topic/TopicName/page/4/#post-xx , but replay #yy in page 4 has link http://samplepage/forum/topic/TopicName/page/2/#post-yy

As far as I understand, there is some problems with pagination in bbp-reply-template.php, but I don’t know how to fix it…

Also because of that, on submitting new replay in topic, user is redirected to wrong page of topic.

Any ideas?

Can someone please walk me through the process to adapt a theme to bbpress? I have been able to use the TwentyTen bbpress them successfully and I love it. But, I’ve tried just installing the plugin with other themes to no avail because the page templates do not show when creating a new forum page.

I know it involves copying the files from TwentyTen/bbpress but I am not sure where and what other steps are involved.

I am a newbie, but, I can modify css if needed.

Many thanks.

Bob

Hi everyone. I’ve seen this come up a lot after having googled these issues but didnt find a consistent answer (e.g. some were from like 2009-2010 dealing with older versions.

I’ve tried numerous things and I still get the common messages at the bottom of this post when going to Appearance/Themes from WP admin.

1. This was a clean bbPress plugin install, latest version, done just a few days ago.

2. Immediately after install, I saw the messages below when clicking the Themes link. I had not moved/changed anything. Seems this comes up, strange that the default bbpress plugin install creates these two error messages by default?

3. I’ve tried copying the files/subfolders from the bbp-twentyten theme to the root directory of my custom theme and adding **add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );** (minus asterisks) to the functions.php of my custom theme. That got rid of the first error message, but the forum appearance was screwed up and definitely not correct, and the second error message about a Broken Theme was still there.

4. I did not overwrite the style.css in my custom WP theme folder when I copied the bbp-twentyten files over. I assume I DO need to copy that stylesheet somehow, but how do I do it without overwriting my WP theme’s stylesheet?

5. I do have key master and file/directory permissions are fine.

6. Copying bbp-twentyten to the my-templates subfolder within the bbpress plugin directory (and of course bbp-twentyten was 755 I checked) still yielded nothing, the two messages at the end of the post still appeared.

Sorry if this is are common issues. I’ve tried some of the suggestions I saw in past posts and they are not working. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

ERROR MESSAGES BELOW:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

“Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description

bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.”

I am really impressed with BBPress so far however I’ve uncovered an annoying little problem that I just can’t fix.

Whenever I log out of either BBPress or WordPress I get redirected to a subdirectory on level down. My install is currently in a subdirectory while it’s being developed but the log out adds another subdirectory of the same name.

An example would be www.domain.com/dev

and when i log out i redirect to www.domain.com/dev/dev

If I deactivate BBPress this no longer happens so I know it’s something in the plugin. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Is there anyway to display within front-page.php who was the last to post in a category?

It works for topics, but not catergories.
