Hi there!

i have a question:
this is my site: http://www.hiphopsardo.it
is it possible to create for each sections a discussion on bbpress?
For example:

Discografia http://www.hiphopsardo.it/discografia/ (custom post types) -> create for each a forum discussion here: http://www.hiphopsardo.it/forums/forum/discografia/

same for the other menus: Artists (custom post types), Recensioni (posts) etc…

i’ve tried the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” but it seems to be limited only to normal posts and you cannot divide the discussions per Category…

do you guys have any advice how to make it?

Thanks!
Andreas

In one of the topics for posts files there is a statement that defines what post types it works for.

Updated: in index.php look for
```
/** Only process for post types we specify */
		if( !in_array( $post->post_type
```
and you can add your custom post types in there

ok got it! since i am not that much into codes,

could you please tell me where i have to add the post type if the post type is “release” for example:

/** Only process for post types we specify */
if( !in_array( $post->post_type, apply_filters( ‘bbppt_eligible_post_types’, array( ‘post’, ‘page’ ) ) ) ) {
return;

thank you very much for your help 😉

Wow, this thread is so close to answering the question I have. I feel like I should just ask my question here instead of creating a new thread.

I am using custom post types for lessons and want to use bbPress to run the comments. I settup the array / plugin as listed above and it works great.

But is there any way to have comment threads posted to specific forums?

So, custom post type ‘business’ gets a thread in the Business Forum and the custom post type ‘creative’ gets a thread in the Creative Forum?

Is this possible?

Thanks guys

Yes, similar to what happens in wordpress.org/support/plugin/?
