Just to show the people who can code..

This is what I would like to do with a little bit of CSS and JS without adding my own <textarea> and BBcode buttons.

Real Pixels

The default toolbar buttons are positioned at the top of the <textarea> and with a little bit of JS I can hide it by default and let it pop-up when text inside the <textarea> is selected.
Right now I have to delete everything thats default and create my own <textarea> + BBcode buttons.

Read it here..

bbpress and child theme

You need to follow the path inside the files until you find <?php bbp_freshness_link() ;?> inside all the bbPress templates files.
Files are located inside the bbpress folder.

[Shmoo]

Copy and paste the template files you would like to edit from the bbPress plugins folder to your theme folder.

The Forum ‘ home-page ‘ is known as an Archive template.

archive-forum.php

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / archive-forum.php

Copy it to your theme folder.

wp-content / themes / [ your_theme_name ] / here

screenshot! – Remember don’t Drag-/Drop it over but Copy-/Paste it.

Please ask your question at the BuddyPress forums. This is bbPress only.

https://buddypress.org/support/

[Shmoo]

You can’t really create a Child Theme for bbPress only.

But if you like to work with the Child Theme idea – I personally think it fails big time but some people really like it then just create a Child Theme if you would do the WP way.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

After that you simply add a folder called bbpress inside your Theme or Child Theme folder and copy-/paste the files over from your Plugins directory to your Theme or Child Theme directory.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / All those files are general Theme template files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme folder

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / All those files are bbPress (forum) templates files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme/bbpress folder.

An image will show you better..

Ow ‘ include_home ‘ will hide the very first and ‘ include_root ‘ will hide the Forums root.

So hide both and make two custom links before the Breacrumbs, one Homepage link + one Custom

[Shmoo]

If the link will always be the same you can remove the Root and manually add a custom one.

This is default.
<?php bbp_breadcrumbs(); ?>

Remove the Root.
<?php bbp_breadcrumbs( array( 'include_home' => false ) ); ?>

Than add your custom link before the Breadcrumbs tag.
<a href="google.com">Google</a> <?php bbp_breadcrumbs( array( 'include_home' => false ) ); ?>

Something like that ?

[Shmoo]

Sorry, I need to close a few Tabs in my editor because I was looking inside the wrong template.

This gets the login form.
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

And of course that file is located where it should be:

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / form-user-login.php

Duh, stupid me!

[Shmoo]

First of all you should go to this location:

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css

Copy-/Paste the bbpress.css file into your Theme’s folder.

Like so:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / css / bbpress.css

When there is none css folder inside you theme folder just create one.
What you’ve done right now is created you’re own custom stylesheet for bbPress that can’t be overwritten by software updates.

What styles you have to change I can’t tell from looking at your picture, but it’s pretty easy to find them.
Make sure you have a Webkit browser installed on your computer ( Google Chrome is reallt the best for this ). View your website and right-mouse-click on the element you would like to change and pick the option ” Inspect Element ” ( I think it’s called )

Now you have at the bottom all the style , there’s also a location + line number where to find the elements inside your bbpress.css file.

Look at this video for some instructions.

It’s not that difficult.

[Shmoo]

Go to the next path.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Copy the BOLD file into your Theme folder inside a new folder called [ bbpress ]

Like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Open the new ‘ content-archive-forum.php ‘ file and remove the following lines of code and save the changes.

<div class="bbp-search-form">

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

</div>

[Shmoo]

You can find the Widgets of bbPress right here.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / includes / common / widgets.php

Thats the file you need to have. By default I don’t think you can drag your Widget-code out of there and start using it inside any other WP project. You probably have to add and redesign it to make it work.

[Shmoo]

The first block goes inside your functions.php i guess,

And all others you have to add where to show – inside your template files. example loop-single-forum.php

That fie can be found in your bbpress plugins directory.
wp-content / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / ** here **

Don’t edit files from the bbpress folder inside your plugins folder because those will be overwritten when bbPress updates.
Just copy files that you need to edit towards your theme folder just like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your theme name ] / bbpress / ** here **

[Shmoo]

Nice website, looks pretty.. only ‘problem’ it took about 12 seconds to load the pages.

[Shmoo]

Tried this but it doesn’t work..

<?php
if ( is_singular( bbp_get_forum_post_type() ) || bbp_is_query_name( 'mac' ) ) {
	include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/page-one.php');
}
else {
	include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/page-two.php');
}
?>

[Shmoo]

Just test this..

Copy the following file into your Twenty Ten Theme folder.

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/extras/archive-forum.php

And inside that file delete this line <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Hope that gives you an idea.

[Shmoo]

I believe..

Above the checkbox you just unchecked is something called Archive Slugs Change the forums name and save.

[Shmoo]

Go into your WordPress back-end and in the left-side menu go to: Settings > Forums >

When you’re on the Forums page you should disable the ‘ Single Slugs ‘ checkbox.

the one that says… ” Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended) ”

Have you tried to include a Soundcloud link inside a blog post?

If you use WordPress 3.5+ it should embed automatically, if it works on blog posts it should also work on topics.

If not try this Plugin.

Comments + replies are almost the same.

It’s difficult to judge from an outside of view but I visit one of the larger bbPress driven websites on a daily base and have my doubts on some parts.

http://www.onemorething.nl/over ( almost 3 million posts )

Those guys have upgraded bbPress V1 -> bbPress V2 about 4/5 months ago and still are fighting troubles + losing people-/visits because of it.
I can’t tell if it’s ‘sloppy’ bbPress Core or less quality developers who have messed things up.

The website + community runs pretty fast on a good server and most of the trouble their facing are custom build features…

[Shmoo]

I think it’s this one.

solved

[Shmoo]

Please stop bumping this topic.

Nobody can help you.. Go to the WordPress support forums there is much more traffic.
Maybe somebody over there can help , else it’s just not possible and you have to pay somebody to do so.

Good question i would like to know also.

I doubt somebody has figured it out because i see this happening al the time at bbPress and WordPress forums.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2jdgbiu.png

For now:
Add the tagged words that clearly have nothing to do with your support-forum like Abercrombie, NBA, Air Jordan and stuff like that to the WordPress settings blacklist.

[Shmoo]

Look at the Widgets maybe you can drop a Login-/register Widget in the sidebar..

[Shmoo]

Create a new page and use the [ shortcodes ]

Step 4:

The code is a bit messy.
Here is the code in Pastebin.

Change the default to the NEW and you’re done.
