bbPress.org

I’ve just installed bbPress and have come across a bit of an issue. Hopefully it’s something I’ve done wrong rather than anything else 🙂

The forum will display fine – I’ve set up a default forum, topic, etc – except for the forum root page. That appears as blank.

I’ve kept everything as default so the root is ‘forums’. Here it is… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/

Blank page. Not even a 404. No, I don’t have any posts or pages set up with the same name. I even changed this to another name and still got the same.

However, a direct link to the forum I set up works… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/forum/test-forum/

Anybody have an idea what the problem is?

Thanks,
David.

I just can’t figure it out with the templates noomatter how much I am googling as I am new and can’t get what exactly the problem is. I have followed so many different tutorials, but well, they didn’t lead where I want.

What I have:
a website running localy with a child theme of twentyeleven with a sidebar.
After installing bbpress, the the default forum page ‘sitename/forum’ was well visualized, but the sidebar was empty and the forum did not have full extent.
I wanted to add text before the forum itself as well as create a new sidebar and so created a new page ‘sitename/forums’ choosing ‘Sidebar Template’, with text and then shortcode

. Also created a new sidebar an registered it. Searching for changes created bbpress.php which is simply my index.php (as I can’t find any php file named template.. just sidebar.php, which is not the one I want.). Also tried to make same php as template adding * Template Name: Forum Template to be able to chose it from dashboard.

Now I have:
*default forum page [sitename/forum]- that has a view as I want, till the moment I click on the topic that gets displayed as page per whole extent while also showing the bbpress sidebar = overlapping.
*created forum page [sitename/forums] that I indeed want to have, that has this overlaping problem, and not displaying the bbpress sidebar instead the usual one.

Checking with firebug it is clear that on default forum page, articles are presented as forum pieces, but in the created forum page they are simply presented as articles.
So I suspected I should change smth here instead of the content calling smth different.. <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
However it just looks like nor my created template, nor page bbpress.php is understood as bbpress page.. (as my sidebar is checking that and so it does not appear).

If someone could direct where/what to read or try out I would really appreaciate,
Thanks in advance,

I want add new forum type. It is “section” in my case. But i can’t find the file where is defined the other types. Help, please!

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out with BBPress installed and activated on my latest WP 4.4 installation.

I’ve successfully activated BBPress but i doens’t display in my dashboard .

Is it a known issue ? It worked fine with WP 4.3.1

thanks a lot !

Hi,

Is there a way for registered users to post something ANON and yet their topics can be viewed by the public? Its somewhat like a confession page.

Thanks!

Hello,

When I create a new Topic or reply, bbpress is creating another topic or forum as duplicate and the wierd part is the name of duplicated topic/forum is just (0).

I am using BPtoolkit only.

Do you have any idea why I am facing with that?

My WP version is 4.4, bbversion is the latest one.

This is really a bummer for lot of my users. After hours of research into the codes, I just found the ticket, addressing why <li> breaks the site (being an invalid HTML).

Sorry for this bump(ish) post. Is there a temporary workaround or fix for this? For now, I’m planning on putting up a custom notice, advising the participants not to use </li><li> the wrong way.

Also, I’m curious how bbPress (this forum) handles this.

Edit: I think the issue is self-explanatory here.

can anyone knows or is it possible that i can know who sees the new topic that I’ved post in a group forum? like (Seen by )and if you hover it the list of people who seen it will appear?. just like on facebook. even just a simple one, as long as i will know who sees it., please.. anyone?

Hello

I built my forums by using this hierarchy: categories>Forums>topics except for one forum that I built as:
Categories>parent forums>child forums>topics
Parent forums fall under categories and child forums fall under parent forums. Topics fall under child forums. I want it this way.

On the child forums page that I linked with topics I get this message: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” Well, I know but site visitors don’t know this and I don’t want them to know this.

I believe if we make the hierarchy like:
Categories (Parent to parent forums)
Parent forums (Parent to child forums)
Child forums (Parent to topics)
Topics

Users should not get a message saying: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” on the child forums page.

Please advice. Am I doing it the wrong way?

I appreciate your help specially moderators.

I am trying to figure out a way for users to delete their own posts, while not logged in. Is this possible?

The site for scheduling referees for sports. Referees go to the site to post games that they cannot take, once taken they fill out a form on the site to indicate which ref took the game.

The problem is that the people posting do not log in, once they find a new ref, they need to be able to delete their thread. I have tried many different things I’ve read and I haven’t been able to find a solution.

Thanks for the help!
