What I'd like to do is enter some intro text however if I enter it under the page in WordPress it doesn't come through. I tried adding <? the_content() ?> on the archive-forum.php page that I pulled into my theme here:

<h1 class="entry-title"><?php bbp_forum_archive_title(); ?></h1>
<? the_content() ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>

</div>

But that seems to pull the content from the last listed forum.

Any way to do this?

I'm running bbPress 2.1 (plugin) and put on my blog's sidebar an RSS parser from forum. Problem is: when it gets an answer, the label starts with "Anwser to: Topic title" — in my case, since my site is Portuguese written, "Responder a: Topic title".

I want to change this "Responder a:" for something shorter, like "Re:". Do you guys have any idea where I change this behavior?

Can be maintaied down to the topic level:

Or how do you manage the topic view customization for adds or layout with a given theme?

Thanks and greetings.

The timing is quite ironic seeing as the codex was released just today, so some things may have changed. If so let me know and I'll update the video.

I have already created 1 website with bbpress, talkbeautyskincare.com and for some reason, sidebar displays below the main content, this is after I added the bbpress files into a child-theme. I just want to know my best bet to tackling this, because I would like to start a community that could help each other out on my ideas.

Thanks so much for your help

Now what? I go into my admin panel of the site, and go to themes, and see these errors:

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

2. Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

bbPress (Twenty Ten)

The parent theme is missing. Please install the "twentyten" parent theme.

Where do I go to activate the new theme? Am I putting it in the right place?

Site is running the latest wordpress and the latest bbpress plugin.

Please help.

Thanks and god bless.

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 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.

The data is submitted fine so the user gets an email. But I am not sure where to start with actually telling them that everything went right, or redirecting to a different page saying that their registration has been received and they should check their email.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress Plugin. The rest of the theme works fine, I am not using 2011, and have followed the instructions for turning my custom theme into a bbpress compatible theme. Just having this one issue now.

Thanks :)

Is it possible to do what I am trying to do? If so how do I do it? Seems like I need to be able to tell the reply form page the Topic ID and Forum ID but I don't know how to go about it. Can you help me?

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks in advcance.

In my page.php template, I reset the while have posts query.

Ideas?

I’m working at a wordpress project that is structured as follows in a multisite configuration:

1) main site, single language, heavily customized with post types, loads of content, no forum, one webshop
2) secondary site, simpler setup, relatively little content, no forum, no webshop, multilanguage (WPML)
3) third site hosting a forum only and no other content; forum interface will be multilanguage (like site #2)
4) fourth site, reserved to admins only, single language, possibly a forum, to manage content and carry on project management tasks and discussions, etc.

- all sites would be in the same domain (ie http://www.domain.com/ = 1, http://www.domain.com/2, http://www.domain.com/3 etc)

- sites #1, #2, #3 would be seamlessly integrated in the frontend. However content displayed changes, since #1 has very different contents meant for users in the main language, while #3 is just a forum. Site #2 is intended to provide information and basic contents to international users, while the forum would provide a common space for discussion, being the interface translated.

I want a multisite setup so users can keep their logins, cookies, across the sites, yet at the same time make some order to admin the different areas.

Now… it is clear to me that WPML I can take care of the translation part. However, what I’m really clueless about is how to seamlessly integrate the forum part. Since mine is a community-type website, I want to have community features… Buddypress seems to offer a more complete solution for this than bare bbpress. I don’t want users to create their blogs or groups. But it would be nice to have better profile pages, private messaging, set their own display pic, and so on. Features that bbpress lacks or are not natively integrated (I come from a bbpress 1.0 experience and while I love it for the theming possibilities, plugin wise was badly supported).

So what I would really like to know… Does it make sense to run BuddyPress on site #3, activate only modules for member profiles, forums and activity streams?

Will the activity streams report activity of these users on sites #1 and #2? (would that include creation of new articles, posts and content by admins and authors? or just comments?)

Will the users be able to login from site #1 or #2 or #3 and kept logged in without any weirdness happening when navigating through the sites and performing actions?

Can authors from #1 and #2 link their profiles to profiles found in #3 Buddypress rather than using author.php? Same for registered users that post a comment on #1 or #2, can they have a link directing to their Buddypress member profile page/activity stream?

Being site #1 only in one language for both content and interface, what if user jumps from #2 or #3 to #1 and then back to #2 or #3, would his languages preference being persistent?

Thank you!

I changed "<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>" on file loop-single-forum.php to:

<?php

$before = '<ul class="bbp-forums">';
$after = '';
$link_before = '<li class="bbp-forum">';
$link_after = '';

if ($sublist = bbp_forum_get_subforums($forum_id)) {
echo $before;
foreach ( $sublist as $sub_forum ) {
// Get forum details
$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
$title = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );

echo $link_before . '' . $title . '' . $link_after;

if ($sublist2 = bbp_forum_get_subforums($sub_forum->ID)) {
echo $before;
foreach ( $sublist2 as $sub_forum ) {
// Get forum details
$permalink2 = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
$title2 = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );

// Build this sub forums link
echo $link_before . '' . $title2 . '' . $link_after;

}

}

echo $after;

}
}

echo $after;

?>

So my question is, Is there any way to do that little easier ? Or someone who is looking in the same issue and want give a hand to clean up this code.

A example of the struture I'm looking:

TEST
-TEST_CHILD_1
-TEST_CHILD_2
--TEST_CHILD_CH1
--TEST_CHILD_CH2
-TEST_CHILD_3

Any help will be aprecieted. Thank you.

Whilst viewing a user's profile, I'd like to simply display topics and posts by a given user. I tried lifting this bit of code, but it returns nothing.

Idears?

<?php bbp_set_query_name( 'bbp_user_profile_topics_created' ); ?>
<div id="bbp-author-topics-started" class="bbp-author-topics-started">
	<div class="entry-content">
		<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started() ) :
			bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics' );
			bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics' );
			bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics' );
		else : ?>
			<p><?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You have not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user has not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
</div><!-- #bbp-author-topics-started -->

Thanks! :)

Let's say, for example, the main forum view.

Right now, it's based off page.php in my child theme, and is taking the title of the last forum, and using that in the the_title() tag I have for the page title.

On other "pages" I this makes sense; it's getting the title while in the loop.

For the bbPress forum page, it's wonky.

So, I want to make a main forum-view specific template file... but I'm unsure as to the best approach when I'm running a child theme for Buddypress.

FWIW, all forum's are being handled by bbPress and it's default template files.

Thanks!

The idea is when a user is reading a Topic, they can click a button to directly message the person who created a particular topic or reply. I'm thinking it would fit somewhere under the avatar.

I have a plugin called cartpauj PM which can accept the user ID via a GET variable in the URL.

The trouble is I can't seem to find my way through the many layers of template files and functions to do what I want.

The bbp_get_reply_author_link function seems to be closest to doing what I need but I don't want to edit that directly and screw up any potential updates in the future.

Any tips?

I am currently running WordPress with Weaver theme, and wondering if bbPress can directly utilize that theme, as that would be one of the big thinks I'd be seeking to achieve by moving from phpbb to bbpress...

I can't find or figure out the conditional tag for the bbPress plugin. I have a three column theme and want to clear the left sidebar so I can widen the center column where the forum lives.

I use a blank text widget to keep the column from disappearing on other pages, but it's a problem on the forum page -- I think I've sort of bandaided myself into a corner.

Is there a list of conditional tags specific to the bbPress plugin? Or maybe is there a better way to manage widgets?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am assuming the forum's widgets are taking up the space right of the forum. I don't need them and rather the forum took up 100% of the available space.

I see there are additional templates for bbPress. Does this hold true for the plugin version? If so, how can additional templates be selected since this is not an option in the bbPress settings.

I am not a programmer but can following directions. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm new to bbpress. on forums and topic page, the notice displays the avatar of last posed user. I want to remove it also I want to highlight the author name by using PHP not CSS.

please help me.

I am making a website about bbpress and wordpress and want to have the same look and feel as these websites do (small header with name and the 'tabbed' menu on the right etc. etc.)

Is there a theme which comes close to this lay-out which I could build upon? Or is the theme wordpress.org or bbpress.prg uses available for download somewhere?

thnx!

I am trying to integrate bbpress into my current wordpress theme. I followed all of the steps in the bbpress 2.0 compatibility thread, but didn't have much luck.

I added the support for bbpress in my functions file, and copied all of the content of the bbpress twenty ten child theme into my current theme, but still didn't have any luck.

I am beyond lost as to how this works. I understand the support in the functions, and even copying over the file and the CSS, but I don't know the specifics. for example:

can that bbpress twenty ten theme be implemented into ANY wordpress theme by copying those files over?
And what do we range in the CSS? Am I supposed to merge the CSS files from that child theme, with my current one?

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse or anything, Just looking for some help! :)

Thanks!

What I want is to personalize bbPress. For example, I want to show all posts, with a function to filter by user, area, etc... Is this possible ?

thank you.
