No styling in forums – BBPress 2

Published on August 9th, 2011 by Matthew.S.

Hello All,

I am not sure if this is expected behaviour. I have spent all day looking for an answer. Which does not mean that I did not miss something. :)

My forums are at www.weekendbrisbane.com.au/forums

I have followed bbpress theme compatibility install, and believe I have done it correctly. Created a child theme, copied files over to the child theme, inserted the functions.php and add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

I have also created a page at www.weekendbrisbane.com.au/forum, (<–no “s” on the end) and used the shortcode

. Which appears to work, until you click on a sub forum or topic. Also, using breadcrumb to move back to forums takes you to “forums”

So my questions are

1. Is this expected behaviour for the default “/forums” page or have I missed an installation step?

2. If I missed a step, is it possible to point me in the right direction? It would be appreciated

2. Or if it is expected behaviour, do I need to create pages for every topic and forum created? Which I am guessing is not the case.

couple of extra notes

– I have also created a page “forums” with slug “/forums” and added

which appears to be ignored completly.

– If I change the template in “/forum” to bbPress – Forums )index, I also loose style formatting.

PS. I may be batting out of my league trying to install bbpress in beta version. But I like the looks of it and would be great if I could get it to work on my website.

Thanks in advance for any help.

some sections won't use templates

Published on August 8th, 2011 by Jared Atchison

I’m using the latest build of bbPress and Genesis (1.7.1). For the most part things are going smoothly, however there is one thing I have not been able to figure out.

I am using the default setup of bbPress and it’s running off of bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten theme (I have not installed or moved a bbpress theme inside my child theme directory).

Here’s what I don’t understand…

When viewing a specfic forum or post, such as http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/forum/sufferers-corner/ things work fine, as expected.

*However*, when trying to view the forum index (http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/), user profile (http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/users/allabout/), and some other sections the page just shows what looks to be a dead loop.

After a little poking around, it almost seems like bbPress isn’t using the template file at all.

For example, on this page http://allaboutdryeye.com/forums/users/allabout/, the corresponding template file would be /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/single-user.php right?

I’ve tried editing the file (for testing purposes only, of course!) and echoing test lines, however they don’t show. It’s like some of the template files aren’t being picked up at all.

I have no idea what is going on. I’ve been beating my head against the wall on this one. WP_DEBUG turns up clean.

Any clues?

bbPress Plugin

Published on August 8th, 2011 by GillesC

WP Multisite 3.2.0

Installed BB Press plugin v 2.0-rc2.

Everything went smoothly except that when I try to go to the first forum I created (/forum/test/), only the header is loaded.

Any idea?

I am trying to find out which page gets loaded when trying to view a forum but can’t seem to figure it out…

TIA

Add overlay to images in replies

Published on August 8th, 2011 by ratsoid2

I was trying to include Lighbox Plus in BBPress and my friend Dan made this functions, so that all the images and links to images will work in LP (or any other overlay image plugin that uses classes).


<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.bbp-replies a').each(function(){
var ext=(jQuery(this).attr('href').split('.').pop()).toLowerCase();
if(jQuery(this).children('img').size()>0&&jQuery(this).attr('rel')=='nofollow'&&!jQuery(this).children('img').hasClass('avatar')||(ext=='jpg'||ext=='png'||ext=='gif')) jQuery(this).addClass('cboxModal');
});
});
</script>

Add this in header.php. Instead of “cboxModal”, replace the class with the desired one (WP-prettyPhoto for example).

Crazy Problem with my BBPress – WordPress Integration

Published on August 8th, 2011 by doctorfalken01

Dear friends,

I have a problem with the integration of WordPress and bbPress which is driving me crazy. For a couple of weeks, new users can not post on the forum. (“Old” users can do it without problems)

One problem is that there`s no error message. When the new users click on “New Post” seamlessly access the page to create the new post (? New = 1) but thereĀ“s no form!

I have also installed Buddypress. I disabled BuddyPress and the problem continues. Has anyone had any similar experience? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone want a custom bbPress plugin made for free?

Published on August 8th, 2011 by Ryan Hellyer

I’m meeting with some IT students tomorrow who will possibly be working on projects with me as part of their course. I was thinking that maybe they could make some simple widgets for the new bbPress plugin.

Are there any simple plugins/widgets that bbPress users would like built?

More information is available on WP Tavern:

http://www.wptavern.com/forum/plugins-hacks/2294-free-wordpress-plugin-development.html

And I’ve posted some of the current suggestions on Google+, none of them are bbPress related (yet):

Thanks for any ideas you guys might have :)

bbPress 2.0 spam comment overview missing

Published on August 7th, 2011 by Thomas Clausen

I had a (good regular)user keep posting af reply to a topic, but he didn’t see the comment. Fortunately he wrote me, and I found it marked as spam (several times) in the database.

That must be three problem:

1. The user wasn’t notified that his comment was marked as spam

2. The user had a bunch of approved comments, so this shouldn’t happen should it?

3. I couldn’t see this anywhere in the WordPress backend

How to Install

Published on August 6th, 2011 by ufpst

Hi there,

I’ve added bbPress as a plugin to my WordPress install.

I’ve also created a page called ‘Forum’. I’ve created two forums, but the only way I can get them to display is to view them directly from the admin panel.

How do I make these visible from the forum link on my page?

With thanks,

DC.

Is there documentation on the bbpress 1 to bbpress 2 upgrade process?

Published on August 6th, 2011 by sdiggles

I noticed that BBPress 2 is a WP plugin, where the first was a standalone. Is there documentation for the upgrade process? Can you still have separate themes?

Any documentation or information on the latest would be great but I can’t find anything on the site.

Thank you!
