I already searched for my problem but couldnt find any working solution for my bbpress 2.0.2.

Since there is no direct link for users to change their profile (not good), therefore I am searching to generate a link to put in a header or so.

I only found solutions for older bbpress installations with user id (number) but in the new bbpress it looks like you need userNAMES.

Can somebody paste me a working php code to display a profile-link? Thx!

In which file i find this?

bbPress 2.0 introduces a radical new approach at integrating robust new functionality into existing WordPress themes. If you're an average user looking for a turn-key forum solution, this works out pretty awesomely - If you're a talented developer trying to beat your own drum, it's all probably a little bit confusing.

Theme Compatibility

bbPress comes with a child theme of TwentyTen, titled (you guessed it) bbPress - TwentyTen. This theme includes all of the custom bits that bbPress needs to function, broken up into template parts to allow them to be used in several places, like template files, shortcodes, and widgets.

1. MOST COMMON - If you're using any other conventional WordPress theme (TwentyEleven, BP-Default) and find the default template layout of bbPress acceptable, you don't need to do anything at all - it should just work.
2. DO NOT put any custom themes in "/bbpress/bbp-themes/" as they will get wiped out when you update bbPress.
3. CUSTOM - If you want to build your own theme or make changes to the existing template files, you'll need to do the following:
   Copy Files
   • If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you'll want to copy the contents of the "/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten" folder into your "wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%" folder, where %YOURTHEMENAME% is the name of your custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is. This is so theme updates don't wipe out all your hard work later.
   • If you are the author of this theme, then you can copy all the files *out of* the "/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten" folder into the folder of your theme, and make your own edits from there. The files to copy include the single-*, archive-*, page-*, and anything in the subfolders.
   • In neither case should a new folder with the name "bbp-twentyten" exist. You are not copying the FOLDER, you are copying what's IN the folder.

   Add Theme Support

   Now that you've got the files copied over, you'll need to tell bbPress that you are in control of the theme situation. You do this by adding this to your functions.php file:

   add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

   By doing this, you're telling bbPress that your theme has its own template files to handle all of the new functionality that bbPress adds. This method gives you a single on/off switch to either use the standard theme compatibility, or use your own.

In the future, specialized template compatibility themes can be created either as plugins or child-themes to work like "add on packages" to existing themes, without requiring elaborate edits to existing themes, moving files around, etc...

Shortcodes (as of May 23, 2011)

Whether you rely on theme compatibility, or decide to go the custom route, we've included a few standard shortcodes to let you output specific forum content on any post or page in your forums. This is accomplished within an output buffer, so they won't interfere with any of your existing page or post content. Note that if your theme specifically removes the shortcode functionality, these will not work, and will instead the actual text of the shortcode will appear on your site.

• [bbp-forum-index] - Show the root forums
• [bbp-single-forum id="A forum ID"] - Show a specific forum
• [bbp-topic-index] - Show all topics
• [bbp-single-topic id="A topic ID"] - Show a specific topic
• [bbp-topic-tags] - Show all topic tags
• [bbp-topic-tag] - Show topics of a specific tag
• [bbp-topic-form] - Show the new topic form
• [bbp-reply-form] - Show the new reply form (not commonly used)
• [bbp-single-view id="A view slug"] - Show the topics of a registered view

In the future, we'll be adding more shortcodes as the needs arise.

That's it for the first round of explanations. I'll edit this post as more questions and answers come through.

i'm working on customizing a bbpress installation with the twentyten bbpress theme and want to set it up so on the main "Forums" page there is a Recent Activity column that displays information about the most recent post -

1. the topic the post was made in
2. the poster
3. the poster's avatar
4. how long ago the post was mad

i have edited the loop-forums.php file to add the additional "Recent Activity" column to to the list of Forums - now I just need to figure out how to pull those pieces of information into the column.

i have created a placeholder column in loops-single-forum.php file where the information will be pulled, i just don't know how to get it in there - i imagine there are existing functions i can call to pull this data, i just don't happen to know what those are or where to find them!

any guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

I want to get this result with bbPress:
http://blogame.com.br/forum/

############################################

With the default structure of great forums:

Category 1
- Forum 1
--- Subforum 1, Subforum 2, Subforum 3
- Forum 2
- Forum 3

Category 2
- Forum 4
- Forum 5
--- Subforum 4
- Forum 6

############################################

With a "friendly space" between category 1 and category 2.
Because there are many forums.

I Would like a theme that had it, I do not need to change anything, just add the categories, forums and the Subforums in admin panel WordPress.

Tks.

I run bbpress plugin 2.0.2 on one of Template Monster premium themes. WordPress 3.3.2.

I did not do any modifications to bbpress themes (To be honest, I don't quite understand it) I just installed the plugin, activated it, setup and voila - everything works but this one issue. I suppose it uses the themes css - I like the simplicity of it and I'd rather keep it this way.

So there you go. Please help. Let me know your price before hand. If you feel more comfortable, we can do it through freelancer of elance.

Thanks

Could somebody please help me with this? I'm going crazy!

I have a new site we are working on and I have a CSS related question for you all. I do have a web developer who is much more experienced with CSS, however, I was hoping you all could at least point me in the right direction so I may have something to show him when we start the design process...

On our main bbPress page, which lists out the active forums, we have a column called "freshness" with either "No Topics" if no one has posted or it has the number of days since the last post and the last author. The problem is that it's pretty visually ugly to see the spacing between "No Topic" and then the spacing between the column which has an actual post with the number of days of freshness and the author.

What I am trying to do is if there is "No Topics" to increase the column size via CSS to make it the same size as the columns who have actual posts with a freshness date and author pic.

I am attaching a screenshot of what I am trying to do. I ran firebug and I see the CSS but I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to modify it.

Thanks!

Alex

I have made a custom theme for my site which is working with BuddyPress and I want to add the forum but do not like the current theme of it. So is there like any theme out there for free which only covers the forum as I want to keep my site theme just change the forum theme.

Thanks

function forum_post_thumbnails () {
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'forum', 'topic', 'reply', 'post', 'page' ) ); // Posts and Movies
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'forum_post_thumbnails');

But it didn't work. Any ideas on how activate it?

Thanks

For example, here's a hierarchy:

Home > Forums > Category1 > Subcategory1 > Forum1 > Subforum1 > Topic1

If someone tries to look at Topic1 or any of its parents, I need to check to make sure they have access to Category1.

Access is managed by s2member.

For typical wordpress posts, I attach this filter, run a wp_query, then detach it:

attach_s2member_query_filters(); // only fetch content the user can access

If that query is not empty, then I let the user view the page they're trying to look at. If it is empty, it means they don't have access to any posts and so I redirect them.

But I don't know how bbPress works well enough to figure it out.

It seems I need to

1. Find what the root category is
2. Check if the user can access the root category
3. If so, allow access to whatever they're trying to see. If not, redirect or give an error message.

Any ideas on how I can do this?

I installed bbpress and I really like it.

I found that there is an alignment issue that is caused by the return of the bbp_reply_class function for the default theme bbp-twentyten.

I noticed that others were having the same problem.

So I fixed it in my version and would like to submit my bug fix...

How do I go about doing that for this project. I have never contributed a patch to an open source project before but would like to submit this bug fix.

Thanks for your help.

I do WordPress & bbPress. I'm available this week. Let me know if I can help you.

I had somebody ask me if it's possible to make the text box larger on my forum (http://ovcboards.net) but wasn't even sure where bbpress pulls that information from to edit it. Any idea?

Thanks!

About us › Forums › Privat: Our association

"About us" being the title of the page set as our start page in WordPress. Shouldn't this be the website title instead? How can we change it?

Thanks.

I've added bbpress forums to my WordPress account without any problems, but I want to use a different image header for the forums than for the rest of the site. In which file does bbpress pull the header from my site, and is it simply possible just to plug in a different image into the code instead of it finding my regular header?

Forums are at http://ovcball.net/forums/

Thanks!

In the German Forum bbpress unfortunately I found nothing about this problem ... I want to delete the numbers behind the forum (post number / number of subjects). Where can I find this code?

Thank you in advance!

I've tried numerous things and I still get the common messages at the bottom of this post when going to Appearance/Themes from WP admin.

1. This was a clean bbPress plugin install, latest version, done just a few days ago.
2. Immediately after install, I saw the messages below when clicking the Themes link. I had not moved/changed anything. Seems this comes up, strange that the default bbpress plugin install creates these two error messages by default?

3. I've tried copying the files/subfolders from the bbp-twentyten theme to the root directory of my custom theme and adding **add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );** (minus asterisks) to the functions.php of my custom theme. That got rid of the first error message, but the forum appearance was screwed up and definitely not correct, and the second error message about a Broken Theme was still there.

4. I did not overwrite the style.css in my custom WP theme folder when I copied the bbp-twentyten files over. I assume I DO need to copy that stylesheet somehow, but how do I do it without overwriting my WP theme's stylesheet?

5. I do have key master and file/directory permissions are fine.

6. Copying bbp-twentyten to the my-templates subfolder within the bbpress plugin directory (and of course bbp-twentyten was 755 I checked) still yielded nothing, the two messages at the end of the post still appeared.

Sorry if this is are common issues. I've tried some of the suggestions I saw in past posts and they are not working. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

ERROR MESSAGES BELOW:

"Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress."

"Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
bbPress (Twenty Ten) The parent theme is missing. Please install the "twentyten" parent theme."

Is this possible?

And sorry for my bad english, i'm swiss ;-))

Even it would be better to get (0, 0) directly in the columns of Topics and post.

Any help in this matter will be appreciated

It works for topics, but not catergories.

I'm trying to import the BBPress theme into my main theme, Vithy. I've tried it once, it did not work at all. The only thing what occurred is that the whole website was blank except for the header.

I've followed the manual how to do it the right way but still having issues.

This is what i did:
1. Moved all of the files including folders from "bbp-twentyten" to "wp-content" -> "themes" -> "vithy" .
2. Added "add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );" to functions.php

No result. Am i missing something? I have already changed some looks of the default theme.

To view my website (its hidden, you need to log in with this normal user)
address: http://dutchlimitsstudio.com/wp-admin/
user: public
pass public@user

I've already put everything back to the default folders like it was! So it isn't done yet!

I need the title forum and then their topics, please if u know how can i do it.

I'm using a theme called Oxygen and the normal theme for bbpress.

Here are some screenshots to help explain more clearly (if I'm allowed to post links).

I realise it might be the theme and not bbpress but was hoping someone had an idea of whether this was handled in bbpress' css.
