bbPress.org

This may or may not be the right forum for this, but technical support seemed the wrong place. Anyway…

I have a template I am using for my website called Habitat (http://www.kriesi.at/themes/habitat/). It allows me to create a new page and use the template in full width without the sidebar. Now… I -can- use shortcodes to put my forum in a new page and set the template without the sidebar, but I cannot find a shortcode for the forum root (I have three categories) and each subsequent link click takes me to the /forum URL and plops the sidebar back in.

To whit, I cannot find an option anywhere in the bbpress plugin that allows me to set the template to use.

Anyone shed some light on this? TIA.

I have just installed bbPress through my local install of WP and I cannot seem to find where the forum resides on the front-end. I have 2 forums (each have 2 topics) which i created through the back-end. Am I doing someone wrong? Must bbPress be used with BuddyPress?

Please help!

Also… I am very familiar with WP, just never used bbPress, thanks!

Hi everybody

Any help will be appriciated

We’re using WordPress 3.2.1, BuddyPress 1.5, and bbPress 2.0 and seem to have run across an issue with the forum home permalink not being correctly set, or so it seems. Perhaps I’m missing something . Any help is greatly appreciated!

The Code

We’re attempting to simply output the basename of the permalink and use that in an IF/ELSE statement using the following to generate:

<?php

$gettheslug = basename(get_permalink());

?>

The Problem

For the purpose of this post, we’ll say that we have bbPress set to http://site.ext/community/. We need to grab ‘community’ from the URL, which is what the code above ‘should’ do, but doesn’t. Instead, it’s grabbing the basename for the last forum we created and continues to update as we create new forums/categories.

To get the basename, we’ve simply echo’ed out $gettheslug in the header. This works for all other areas of the website, except with the bbPress portion which is what’s so confusing .

Perhaps we’re doing something wrong, perhaps I’m doing something wrong. As above, any help is much appreciated.

Hello

I am in the process of making the switch from phpBB to bbPress (once the importer is out of beta). My two questions: how will the current catalog of bbPress plugins work within the new bbPress 2.0 (WordPress plugin)? How are they installed?

I searched for this info here and could not really find a definite answer.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been resolved somewhere else, I’ve tried searching the forums and haven’t found anything.

My problem is that I’ve installed the bbPress plugin into a clean install of wordpress, and when testing it tried a simple JavaScript insert. Open script tag, alert “Oh Dear” and close the script tag.

When I posted this, it went through. The page alerted the text. Each time the page loads, it runs the JavaScript.

So, my question is: Is there a way of stopping this? I’m pretty new to WordPress and *very* new to bbPress, but have been loving what I’ve been seeing so far. I really don’t want to have to try something else when this solution seems to tick every box but this.

Hi,

On the site I look after I’m having an issue of forum posts coming out blank. If I look at the database rows for the blank posts, they all have <br /> as the post_text.

I have not managed to replicate the issue myself, nor see any pattern as to why it’s happening.

I’m using:

WordPress MU 2.9.2

BuddyPress 1.2.3

BBpress 1.0.2

Any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks!

I’ve installed the bbPress plugin and activated it through WordPress 3.1. I’ve created a New Forum and published it. However I can’t see it on my blog site – thruxton.yogaha.com. I then created a page called Forum – but this didn’t show the new bbPress forum page. I can view the bbPress forum page I created – looks ok – but I don’t know how it gets shown in the Menu? Any help please? Thank you.

I know bbPress is all about basic, clean and minimalism code but not adding an unique class or ID to a sticky topic or a closed topic is a huge missing part i think.

(the function works just no way to style it)

Will the bbPress (2.+) version be the same as the bbPress (1.0) version?

Without 25 different must have plugins is just not worth installing it?

Don’t get me wrong, i love the option to add plugins that can make bbPress do more advanced functions, but a feature like sticky and closed topics should be styled in the core files not by a plugin.

Not talking about lock icons , stars icons and different forum icons just a light gray or green background would be nice to have out of the box.

I was attempting to import bbPress 2.0 (tools –> import –> bbPress Standalone) and something bad happened. Immediately, I was locked out of WordPress and cannot log back in.

I get “ERROR: Username Invalid.” Basically, it’s saying that my username doesn’t exist anymore.

I think it’s because when the bbPress was migrating the forum usernames, it caused an overwrite in the WP-Admin usernames, because of the cookies and master keys used in bbPress. How do I reinstate my admin username?

I have a backup file and I have myPHP via Hostgator. But I have no idea how to reinstate any of this. Please help me, I’m freaking out!
