Hi, I just want to know how to make the user to register to create topics thats all
please send me the steps for that

[Hugo Ashmore]

@shameermohamed50 the Codex is your friend, do have a read of some of the guides there as they will answer a certain amount of your questions in setting up BP and bbP

[Shameer]

thats ok. If i give anyone can register, from where they will register?
How to setup that page ?

[bp-help]

@shameermohamed50
You need to go to dashboard/settings/general and click anyone can register. Then you can create a new test account and in either a different browser or chromes incognito window go to the site and log in with the test account credentials.

Hi, I have installed the forum. 1 more doubt. i.e. How can a user login or register?
How to try as a new user ?

[mayankj]

some buddy give code for add add friend on forum page

[valuser]

Many Thanks, Hugo.

After rechecking I am now down to just no sidebar control over activity page and group forums page. (though will need a little css tinkering which is no big deal) .

My resource to date is just https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-compatibility/ and this forum.

You say

Theme compatibility already provides for a custom bp version of page.php ‘buddypress.php’ in that you can specify named sidebars.

bit lost with that i’m afraid. It would be great if you could elaborate on that.

Looks like http://www.woothemes.com/support/ or the wordpress.org forums are good starting points.

[Hugo Ashmore]

Not really sure how this is relevant to this support forum, doesn’t sound BuddyPress related?.

[@mercime]

Haha, just found out the issue. I was making these topics “Super Sticky”

🙂 Marking this topic as resolved.

[fptcom]

Haha, just found out the issue. I was making these topics “Super Sticky” – didn’t know that meant showing up on EVERY single forum. OK fixed. Thanks for the help all.

[fptcom]

@mattg123 – everything is the original settings. I haven’t changed any settings. Everything is setup the basic way, I haven’t created any pages or used any short codes. I did try searching for similar problems on bbpress.org, but there is nothing there. I even disabled bbpress, deleted, re-downloaded, and re-installed it, and I am having the same issue.

[Shameer]

Thank you so much
I will let you know by today.

@shameermohamed50
I am here to help. I just hope I have given you a little more insight that will help you get the results you require. Have a good day!

[Shameer]

ok Thanks for your time. I will do these steps today evening and will let you know.
Sorry for disturbing you a lot 🙂

Thanks,
Shameer.

@shameermohamed50
Even after you install bbpress you will still need to configure it depending on if you plan on using group forums, sitewide forums, or both. Use this link which I had provided previously to get an idea of setting them up:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
After you get it set up you may still want to add the forums link to your navigation. The link has already been provided above. Please ready this material, it explains it much more clearly!

[Shameer]

ok
so if I install only bbpress, is that enough to create a forum ?
or something else i need to do ?

[bp-help]

@shameermohamed50
Something is getting lost in the translation here. I know there is a BuddyPress plugin hence we are in the BuddyPress support forums but you keep mentioning a “BuddyPress Forum Plugin.” If you want forums then you will need to install bbpress and use the links I supplied. You can get bbpress here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/
BuddyPress just adds the social networking side of things like activity stream, members directories, extended profiles, adding friends, private messaging etc. If you need to have a forum you will need bbpress. Please do not take this offensively but you need to have a clear understanding of what BuddyPress is and what bbpress is because as stated before as of BuuddyPress 1.7 you will need to install bbpress which is a seperate plugin if forums is a requirement for your project. Have a look in the codex documentation to get a better understanding. Do a google search for BuddyPress and another for bbpress.

[Shameer]

Yes there is a plugin. Please check this link https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/

Also from the link which you send now, I followed the same and i got 3 tabs, components, pages and settings. I didnt got any forum tab.
Also after installation the pages which i got is

http://1web.co/masjid2/activity/
http://1web.co/masjid2/groups/
http://1web.co/masjid2/members/

I didnt got any forum page as shown in the screenshot from the link which you send

Please let me know whether i missed any step.
Also please forward me the exact link to download and install the plugin which has all the features

Thanks,
Shameer

[mattg123]

@fptcom How have you set the forums up? Have you created new wordpress pages and used shortcodes? Also, If you’ve disabled all plugins minus bbPress have you posted/looked through http://www.bbpress.org for similar problems? A small note, I found setting up bbPress slightly annoying as well, have you messed with the basic settings etc?

[bp-help]

@shameermohamed50
The link I supplied above explains the creation of the page. You may also want to add that page to a custom menu:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/
As far as I know there is no plugin named BuddyPress Forum Plugin. As stated above I am assuming your referring to bbpress so use the links I have supplied and it should help you out.

[Shameer]

ok. I will do that. But in the site for the forum which page i need to display ?

[fptcom]

@mercime – Everything is the latest versions. I tried disabling all plugins (including BuddyPress) and just leave bbPress, and I also switched to twenty twelve theme, but I’m still having the same issue.

I’ll give you an example:

http://www.freepogotokens.com/forums/forum/rules-and-announcements/official-announcements/

That is the “Official Announcements” forum. But the RULES topic is in there, when it should just be in the “Rules” forum.

It gets even weirder in the “Introduce Yourself” forum, which is on an entire different category.

http://www.freepogotokens.com/forums/forum/new-members/introduce-yourself/

As you can see, there are topics in there that even say ” Started by: admin in: Rules ” and ” Started by: admin in: Official Announcements ”

Why would those topics be in there when they are clearly in different categories and forums?

Please post support questions for any of the plugins above at respective plugin’s forums.

[@mercime]

Whenever I make a topic in any given forum, it appears in every single forum

@fptcom WP, BP and bbPress versions? Have never seen the issue you posted above. Basic troubleshooting, change to twenty twelve theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress.
