Hey, thanks for the reply, I did try changing the time zone, it didn’t work and I don’t think it has to do with this because its counting from the moment a post is made like this “5 minutes ago”, like in this forum, except it starts counting from 8 hours, so if I made a post now it will show that this post was made “8 hours ago”, 1 hour later it will show “9 hours ago”

Thanks 🙂

@kizzywizzy, BP 1.6.2 use wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.8.3

@gorod, it seems that you installed bbpress as standalone forum plugin instead of using Group Forums. Anyway, both can be used, the only thing to take care of, is the forum base name. BP Group Forum use “forums” by priority, even if you use bbPress as plugin. So if you use bbpress, you have to rename the forum base name to something other as “forums”. See “forums > settings” to change this.
Here’s a video for more explanation: http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/
and something older, but good to understand on how all this works, on the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums-v1-5/

Sorry i meant to have 1 but i guess i forgot about that other 1.

[ProgramerJutsu]

I guess i will have to deal with my static links until i can figure out how to refresh the data.
Or until i create my own forum platform. haha

[ProgramerJutsu]

Well Poopie

@sureshkutti Did you go through the steps posted here? https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

If not, how did you install your group forums and your sitewide forums? Which did you set up first? What’s the slug/URL of your Group forums? What’s the slug/URL of your Sitewide forums?

As for the Anonymous posting you set up in Sitewide Forums, best place to troubleshoot that would be at https://bbpress.org/support/

Hello Hugo,

The BP-centric plugins installed are “BuddyPress Registration Options” and “BuddyPress Login Redirect”. Might they be disallowing public access to the forums/groups? How to disable the disallowing feature?

[Hugo Ashmore]

This is not default behaviour, you must have third party plugins at work, as I can’t see any groups listing. If you have added plugins you need to be aware of how they will affect your site, if you haven’t got plugins  doing a walled garden sort of privacy management then you have something odd going on.

[Hugo Ashmore]

You trouble shoot ‘Intenal Server Error’ messages as the phrase suggests at the server level, you look through your error.logs for some clue as to what was/is  happening

Sorry to bump up this thread, but I would like advice from the BP gurus on accessing forum posts without the need to log into the site with a username/password. Currently, whenever the URL of a forum post is given in any public site such as Twitter, you are redirected to the log in / account-creation page. For example, here is an example of a forum post that a user wanted to provide URL of, but couldn’t:

[enquirer32]

Surely… there must be some kind of fix for this. I’ve tried everything – created new pages, reinstalled etc etc. How could I troubleshoot this otherwise? Thx

[kdforf]

yes i am coding my own theme but by default they didn’t show up and i found code in this forum and i used that but comments are not still showing up!

@harvey1233 please keep to one thread for the same topic. Closing this post in favor of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/currently-attempting-to-create-a-forum-on-my-main-page-and-unable/#post-149606

[ProgramerJutsu]

Forum index: front page. (so people can see forum categories)

i had something like it when i copied the source html but it didn’t update and was not formatted correctly
Like this:
Main page ——————————————– search bar
Menu: Main page: About: Forum Index: Blogs: Members: Groups : Activity
Forum:
Forum topics:

I just responded to your other post so that post now makes a little more sense 🙂 I’d first say no need to do multiple posts – having one thread where people can look and help you is far easier for all involved. So, you want to show your forum latest entries on your front page or you want your forum to be your front page? I ask as the two things require different things.

[Tammie Lister]

It’s a little hard to know what you want / are aiming for as you seem to have something in mind but aren’t providing a link or exact question. If you can describe what you are trying to do and even link to what you want or have achieved – it’s far easier to help you. Many on here would love to help but can’t without knowing more information.

[edpitts]

Mine is showing 6 hours ago for a forum entry I just entered.

[ProgramerJutsu]

WOW this is frustrating…
The only appearance that looks right is when i copy the source html. If i can manage to get rid of the div/sidebar correctly.

It doesn’t update though, =(

Still cant figure out how to get it to work though buddy press settings

[ProgramerJutsu]

Still having issues with this Forum: Index -> main page

[ProgramerJutsu]

K, I’m doing it the way you said because when i update my files in buddy press the html that i copied stays the same.
Props xD

[@mercime]

Ah that would work

Sure it would and you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

[ProgramerJutsu]

Ah that would work. Check out my front page though. it seems to work flawlessly, i only have 1 forum though.

I was trying to do that earlier but i wasn’t able to figure out how to apply the forum to the front page,
thanks for helping

[danbpfr]

yes it’s weird ! Did you asked on the bbPress forum ?
The doc is relatively poor, but you can read here:

[@mercime]

what worked for me was to copy the source code of my forum page and slap in into the home page

@harvey1233 If you want your forum index page as your home page:
1. Create a new empty Page named “Blog” or “News” or whatever you want to represent as the list of new Posts in your site.
2. Go to wp-admin – Settings > Reading – Front Page Displays > Choose Static Page.
3. For Front Page – select the name of your Forums page
4. For Posts Page – select the name you set in #1 above.
5. Click on “Save Changes” button on the same panel.
