I’m in the same camp as @Nova; I’ve got custom taxonomies that I want to be included with forum posts.

In the meantime I’m just creating my own post type “discussion”, i.e. faking a forum with wordpress posts.

(the trick there is to find/create a view where posts are sorted by “last comment”)

Did you figure anything out? (Nova or anyone else…)

+1. Forum theme for mobile needed quite badly.

Lynq and Jaredatch

I think you’re missing his point. He wants an entire forum. Yes a FORUM, not just a topic, created for each post.

An entire bbPress forum.

So that people, within it, can create multiple topics for each blog post.

Ahem.

Although Lynq, I have to say, your profile pic is super fun/cute and romantic. (granted, I don’t know which half of that you are… i’m guessing the non-upside down one.)

@tooltrainer

Any progress on this for bbP?

I know BuddyPress has a great plugin for this:

BP Unread Posts

Thanks,

WHOA. Face melting idea.

I could see it being good for blogs who post infrequently and get tons of traffic. Every post is so monumental it gets its own FORUM… this would be like… for the UN or the White House or something.

I’m in jest — anyone who gets more than 100 comments per thread might want this; 10-20 responding topics with 5-10 comments each…

I hear you… comments/replies can be spammy and dumb dumb… but, I mean, here’s the thing:

Once a user creates a topic, then all the conversation that follows in that forum will be, likewise, comments/replies. I.e. similarly unfocused and not very constructive. So I’m not sure that what you’re proposing solves the problem you’re presenting.

Also, forum topics are easier to skim the entire content of, forums not so much. And people want to skim blog comments.

That being said, I’m still smiling thinking about how epic it might be to spawn entire forums from single blog posts. (though I can’t claim I’d use the plugin if it were made)

Here’s the page I have that code on:

I’m having a bit of trouble with this as well. And I too am on a BP install, though it would seem to me that it shouldn’t matter.

I used it like this:

- [bbp-login]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id="35"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id="link"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag $id="35"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag $id="link"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$topic_id]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=35]



(this is when I found the codex file for bbpress shortcodes at https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ and formatted accordingly)



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$35]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$tag_id]

And I got no forums rendered. Very confusing, since the last two were copy paste from the codex.

Gadzooks! It seems to me that’s critically important I can’t really use bbpress until something like this comes along

Help?

Great thread on how to have registered users be able to view hidden blogs. Thanks for this, antonchanz.
