I guess my question is: how do you have them behave like the do here?

Where any tags entered into the tags field are simply appended to a topic, and previous ones remain untouched?

My assumption is that I'm doing something wrong, but it appears to happen on a fresh install with the default template.

But it isn't happening here! I can add tags and the previous ones remain, so maybe there's a but in the default template, but not in the core?

The next poster's message (regardless of user role) overwrites my tags or erases them all together.

In fact, every post overwrites the previous tags.

Que? Have I setup something wrong? This happened in a fresh install with the default template too.

When someone simply wants to return data, (a list of tags or the subscribe link) it would be nice to have the bare minimum returned (text with at most, an <a> tag). Minimal markup will just make for cleaner, easier to assemble themes.

That did the trick!

I didn't need to add the function in my case, the shortcode worked using a php widget plugin.

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Add this to your text/html widget box:

[bbp-topic-tags]

http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-add-shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets

I figured that you'd be able to override default bbpress pages with custom pages containing shortcodes and changes to the permalink structure.

I haven't been able to achieve this and I'm struggling to find information on the logic behind all this.

I'm using the Kakumei blue theme and it displays too many "hot tags" on the front page. I'd like to limit it to about the 10 or 15 most popular, I think it's around 100 now or something.

Here is a live sample of it: http://christengine.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any recent development on this issue?

Thanks ahead of time!

I think I am having trouble because I originally installed bbPress separately, then added the plugin when it became available. I'm not sure what to do.. it is all a big mess :(

for your second question, have you try using bbpress shortcodes?

Because User(User group) wasn't given "unfiltered_html" capability.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#unfiltered_html

'span' => array(
	'class' => array ()),

I allowed "span" tag and "class" attribute successfully.

'code' => array(
	'class' => array ()),

"class" attribute was removed.

I modified /includes/kses.php in the WordPress.
I placed fllowing code in the definition of $allowedtags.

'pre' => array(
	'class' => array ()),

Nevertheless, "class" attribute was removed.

So, <pre class="value">my code</pre> was replaced with <pre>my code</pre>.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

1) Where can I find documentation specifically about the plugin, or does everything (plugins and widgets) that works with WordPress and bbpress also work with WordPress and the bbpress plugin?

2) I would like to be able to display not only the root forums, but also the subcategories - in order and indented. I am currently using the bbpress forum list widget, but it doesn't appear to be able to display the root forums with subcategories indented underneath. It only show root forums, or everything all mixed together.

When I go to view a single tag, it shows all 3 topics which is incorrect and would seem to be a bug.

Can anyone else confirm.

Point taken. I've been a bit harsh on the Dev guys which I shouldn't have been. The system obviously does work fine as plenty of people use it. I'm just not very technically minded.

Good luck with the project, I'm sure it will be a success.

I'm not bashing SMF, the point is bbPress is brand new. The devs are creating a new product from scratch. You get a product, or documentation. It all takes time. Resources are finite.

It takes time to grow everything out. If more people don't volunteer their time, it is what it is. Do you have any idea how many people have worked on something like SMF? Or how long it's been around?

I'm not knocking anyone here, it's just good to have realistic expectations.

Suspect that for every user that manages finally to find the solution, have half a dozen that just think - Sod it, doesn't work, waste of time, delete.

Maybe it's some kind of elitist coder thing? If you can't fill in the missing technical details you can't join the club?

I've gone over to SMF, Simple Machines Forum purely because they do indeed have clear documentation and installation instructions. I have confidence in the team behind the script because they are thinking of the end user and not just the code. I suggest that if you want this excellent addition to wordpres to be the roaring success it deserves to be, you do the same.

Good luck with the project.

A slug is part of a URL, so Ithen visited domain.com/forums and it worked.

So I added a link to my menu for that URL, and I was done.

Basically, whatever you set the forums slug to, yu add to the end of your URL, and there's your forums

In the backend "ifc" correctly shows that only 1 topic has this tag. This doesn't seem like a db issue since it's correct in the backend...?
