Log into your WordPress admin, go to Pages, click Edit on the page you want, then look at the URL. The post=xx part will show you the page ID, which you can then use in your code:
if( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_page( xx ) ) {
// use get_permalink() to get the URL.
}
OK first read about short codes here.
Basically a short code is a place holder for content (html, images, posts, etc). When you place [bbp-forum-index] into the content of a page, it will be replaced automatically with an index of your forums in bbPress. Try it out and you’ll see what I mean.
Well some one has modified it. The theme you are using is not default Twenty Elevent. The HTML markup has changed a little and it’s causing the problem.
Switch to the default Twenty Eleven and see if that fixes the alignment. If it does, then add your colors back in.
Are you familiar with what short codes do and how to use them?
No there is not any paid support for bbPress. It’s all volunteer.
Can you provide a live URL? The problem should be able to be fixed with a little bit of CSS.
Only users with upload capability are allowed to embed images by default. I’d recommend that you install the GD bbPress Attachments plugin for this as it will give the option for users to upload images.
Can you please be a bit more descriptive of the problem? Is the problem that Forums/Topics/Replies don’t show up in the WP dashboard?
You can use the [bbp-lost-pass] short code to show a change/lost password form.
There is an option in Settings > Forums to allow/disallow annonymous posting. Set this so that users are required to login in order to post in the forums.
You can show a registration form with the [bbp-register] short code.
It looks like you’re using a modified version of Twenty Eleven. The widgets in that page template are supposed to be on the side, but the modifications made to the theme have broken that.
Did you do the mods or have someone do it for you?
There’s a lack of documentation at the moment because the site is being redone (slowly) and the individuals responsible for the majority of the documentation are also the main developers, who are busy writing code 
The location of the forums on your site depend on the settings you have set in Settings > Forums. Take a look at the documentation for basic settings.
You can also manually place the forums index on any regular WordPress page by using the [bbp-forum-index] short code. Short code reference.
Can you give a list of the active plugins you have installed?
How do users register? Default WordPress registration form or a plugin?
When you say the template doesn’t appear, are you referring to the Template drop down in the page editor?
Go to Settings > Forums and enable “Global Access” to see if that fixes the problem.
Yes, the option to disable Topic Tags removes the tags meta box.
Pietro,
Alright that is definitely a problem with your theme then. It sounds like the theme has not added support for custom post types to the background image feature. You should contact the theme developer and see if they can help.
I’ve just tested this on my local bbPress and only the first snippet is needed. The meta box was added automatically and everything worked fine.
It might be a theme conflict, have you tried switching to the default theme?
I don’t think ti’s accurate to say that 99% of the bbPress community uses child themes, at least not in the normal sense of the phrase.
I, for example, have copied the bbPress template files over to my active child theme directory for most sites. The site is running a child theme, but it is not explicitly a child theme for bbPress: it is a child theme of my regular theme that I have added full bbPress support to.
This question relates to BuddyPress, not bbPress.
You have posted on the bbPress forums. Please post your questions to the BuddyPress forums.
Looks like you have a 404 error. If you still have the plugin installed, make sure you have gone to Settings > Permalinks and clicked “Save Changes”.
Drop this code snippet into a custom plugin (you can use Pluginception to easily create one)
function pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe( $checked, $topic_subscribed ) {
if( $topic_subscribed == 0 )
$topic_subscribed = true;
return checked( $topic_subscribed, true, false );
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_form_topic_subscribed', 'pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe', 10, 2 );
Hmm, that’s strange. Could have been a random bug because I see people reply to their own topics all the time.
Anyhow, glad it’s working for you!
I’ve never tried adding featured images to forums, but the first thing that comes to mind is that you do not need to add the meta box. The featured image meta box should be added automatically by WordPress when you add support for the images.
