12+ hrs i cannot get this to work help plz

Dear bbPress-Team and community,

I’ve been trying to install the bbPress Plugin to my WP. I tried to do so on my local machine first, and all went fine. When I tried on my web server, everything went fine until I activated the bbPress-plugin in the wp-admin plugin section. WordPress responded with a blank (white) page, and afterwards, I could not even access /wp-admin/ (also responding with a blank screen). When removing the bbPress directory from the plugins directory, everything is fine again. /forums/ responds with the usual 404 in either case.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to my server’s error logs. Do you have any ideas what could be the problem here? The major difference between my local machine and the web server is that the latter cannot connect to the outside world via http – maybe this is mandatory?

Btw: I have double-checked the requirements, my webserver configuration seems to be okay for bbPress:

WordPress 3.3.1

PHP 5.3.2

MySQL 5.0

I’d be happy about any hints which might help to trace down the problem.

Thanks, best regards,

Peter

I am a novice setting up a page for a nonprofit. Unfortunately we don’t have money in the budget to get a pro to set this up.

I have downloaded and installed, set up forums and still cannot see it on the live webpage.

Is there an easy fix for this?

I am beyond frustrated.

I’m working on a site that has an issue with the bbPress forums in internet explorer. What is happening is the text area for both replies and topics is not showing up when using internet explorer.

The link to the forums is here: http://www. silverdoctors. com/sd-reader-forum/ (minus the spaces I purposefully put in, obviously).

I think this is a javascript issue, but I’m not certain. I also don’t understand why it’s only occurring in IE and not in Firefox.

I’m using WordPress 3.1.1 and bbPress Version 2.0.2.

I have no other plugins other than bbPress activated.

I did revert the theme back to 2012 and the issue was no longer present. If this is an issue with my theme, I understand this might not be the forum to ask the question if someone could delve into it to try to find the problem, but I’m stumped with the issue and am hoping some of the great bbPress minds can help me resolve the issue.

Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

I love the start page of this forum. Can I get the page template?

I’ve installed bbPress on my wordpress-buddypress site.

The forum base is: Forums

when I install just bbPress, and use this as a base, I can navigate to www.url.com/forums and it displays the forums properly

I also would like to add it to my navigation. I add a page titled “Forums” at www.url.com/forums and add it to my navigation menu list.

then when I navigate to this page, it displays it as a default buddypress page, without the forums, it highlights it in my menu when it is the current page.

I then add the shortcode:

It still shows up in my navigation, and goes to the correct page when clicked, which now shows the bbPress forums. However it now does not highlight the “Forums” tab when it is on the “Forums” page.

Is there an easier way to associate bbPress’s “Forums” with WordPress’s “Forums” so that it will display properly in the navigation menu?

Thanks.

Also when on my “Forums” page, the breadcrumb reads “homepage title>forums” I would like it to ready “Blog title>forums”. Any ideas how to do this?

Edit: Turns out the “Forums” page only works properly in the navigation as soon as bbPress is deactivated. With bbPress activated, the “Forums” item in the navigation is not highlighted when the page is being viewed. Shortcode in or not.

Edit: I’ve fixed the problem by making a custom template which adds the shortcode via <?php echo do_shortcode(“

Any ideas on the base slug modification?

BBP currently tries to add all its forum stuff to any activated WP theme by using the page.php template. I think it would make a lot of sense if it followed the standard template hierarchy for custom post types.

Usually, if you have a custom post type – say ‘product’ – you can override the template for that kind of post by making a specific template for it (i.e. single-product.php).

However, as far as I can see, BBP doesn’t allow this. If I create a file called ‘single-topic.php’, BBP doesn’t use this for displaying single topics. Instead I’m locked into using page.php. That’s annoying if I want my pages to have a sidebar, for example, but my forums to be full-width.

This is such an obvious feature (in my opinion) so that it is clear on forums who are the admins, moderators, and members.

I decided to see if I could work out how to add it to my forums using my custom theme for bbPress 2.1.

I managed to get it to work after a bit of experimentation and many errors by adding this:

<?php

$reply_user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();

global $wp_roles;

$reply_user = new WP_User( $reply_user_id );

$roles = $reply_user->roles;

$role = array_shift($roles);

printf( isset($wp_roles->role_names[$role]) ? translate_user_role($wp_roles->role_names[$role] ) : false);

?>

into loop-single-reply.php.

Hope this is helpful to anyone else trying to do this.

I believe it was a feature on the standalone version of bbPress so why was it dropped on the plugin version? Is this likely to be re-added at any point?

Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. So I made backups of my htaccess, and config file. Deactivated my plugins. Deleted all folders except my-plugins, and my-templates, htaccess, and config file. Then I uploaded everything, in auto for binary and ascii. When I go to my page, I get a white page. I type in bbpress.php and index.php, just white. Now what?

So I just started working with bbpress, and wordpress for that matter. Now I find the profile page not great, it shows stuff like subscribed topics / favorites topics / created topics. I don’t really want any of that.

I have been digging through the files, but I am unable to find out what file actually outputs this, I have a understanding level of php, so I should be able to edit it, if I could just find it.

Thanks
