In reply to: Can I use my normal wordpress shortcodes in bbpress?
No, you cannot use shortcodes within bbPress.
This is more of a security issue than a technical issue, you don’t want users adding login shortcodes and the like into the content.
There is a ‘bbPress Shortcode Whitelist’ plugin (It’s in the wordpress.org plugins repo) that will allow you to ‘whitelist’ a list of short codes so you can use the ones you approve.
In reply to: Delete user but not their posts@leanderbraunschweig Feel like creating a ticket on Trac, I never did 😉
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Add it as an ‘enhancement’ type ticket with the component ‘users’ and leave it in ‘Awaiting Review’, add a bit of the detail of what is outlined above though the general consensus of the feedback above and we can start working towards adding support for this into bbPress 🙂
In reply to: How to get subforums URL ?Take a look in
includes/forums/template.phparound Line#676 atbbp_forum_get_subforums()In reply to: Replies not showing up in forumThis is a theme issue, your theme isn’t letting bbPress inject it’s template styles.
Ceate a file in the root of your theme called
bbpress.phpand putting the following code into it<?php /** * bbPress wrapper template. */ get_header(); ?> <?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>In reply to: Static Page link within breadcrumbAwesome 🙂
Cool, clear as mud 😉
In reply to: Static Page link within breadcrumbIssue: Within Forums, to the left of “> Forums” – which I think is a breadcrumb – is a hyperlink, that when I hover over it it goes to http://www.paulgarth.name (ie the static page called “Welcome to the web-site including Value Propositions”
This is because you are using a static page for your front page set via:
Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading Settings -> Front page displays:If you change the title of that page, that will become the title of that first breadcrumb link.
In the vast majority of cases setting that page title to what you have set it to is not required, rather you should set it to ‘Home’ or ‘Front Page’ or similar, then within that page using a H1 or H2 header add your text “Welcome to the web-site including Value Propositions”
If you set the ‘Group Forums Parent’ when you open any of bbPress’ group forum you should be redirected to the forum inside the BuddyPress group.
Thus if there are no bbPress ‘standalone’ forums and only BuddyPress Group forums there should not be any confusion.
i.e. No confusion if your not confused by my description above 😉
Ha! I just found some replies in the spam queue 😉 Unspammed, those words and abbreviations you used starting with a capital
Mare very common spam words, I’m not typing them either in case it flags me as spam, anyways, restored and sorry about that 🙂In reply to: Displaying photos in a forum postDoesn’t this require the person to put the image somewhere – ie on Smugmug – and then use the IMG tags to reference that image?
Yes
I was looking for something that allows you to just decide to show a photo in a forum post and upload it then and there to the site and have it display inside the post.
For this a common a plugin is this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
In reply to: Formatting toolbar disappearedIt’s all good… My testing of Firefox 29, Apache 2.x, and bbPress 2.5.4 here with Twenty Fourteen and things work perfectly.
Also what I meant by TinyMCE plugin is there are quite a few plugins that enhance/modify/tweak the TinyMCE, ‘TinyMCE Advanced’ and ‘Ultimate TinyMCE’ to name just two.
Anyways when/if you have another look at troubleshooting this just ask away any Q’s 🙂
In reply to: Replies shifted and cut offYou’ll have all sorts of shiny new and cool things when you do 🙂
Check your web hosts support and FAQ section, they should have some pretty good docs on how to backup your WordPress site and your database. They might even have those fully automated and implemented for you so you only need to confirm the backup is there, it is current, and it has all your content that you expect to be.
In reply to: Auto activate BuddyPress Group ForumsThat’s a question for http://buddypress.org, the bit you are are after is within the BuddyPress side of things, it can be a fine line between these though 😉
In reply to: Problem with permalinks after bbpress-update to 2.54Cool, glad it made some sense 😉
In reply to: Formatting toolbar disappearedAre you talking about the bbPress toolbar when creating a topic or reply?
What happens if you switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme?
Have you disabled any TinyMCE plugins?
Have you tried disabling all your plugins except bbPress to see if the issue is resolved?
What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
Note: Please don’t bump old topics, create a new topic please, things change and most of the time the issue will be a different issue.
In reply to: Topics and Replies Not Showing Up@charris25 Going by the screenshot you posted I doubt we can be much help here, you should contact support again, I noticed you said you asked above and then 8 hours after said you had no reply, maybe give them some more time or maybe there is an answer now from the question you posted.
In reply to: Replies not showing up in forumSome more information would be helpful, a link to your site, what version of WordPress and bbPress are you using etc.
Note: I split this from the other topic, no sense bumping old topics for something that sounds familiar but 99% of the time never is…
In reply to: bbPress – iThemes ExchangeTell them to set WP_DEBUG to false in their wp-config.php
define('WP_DEBUG', false);and troubleshoot what the other plugin and/or theme is causing this issue, this is not a bbPress issue per se, it is another theme or plugin doing_it_wrong.In reply to: Replies shifted and cut offFirstly, you should update WordPress to v3.9.1, if you have some reason you must remain using the 3.7.x version upgrade to 3.7.3.
That said line #1198 of your style.css has the following:
.hentry { border-bottom: 2px solid #f7f7f8; margin-left: 120px; padding-bottom: 15px; position: relative; }You will need to override that for your bbPress forums with a custom entry in a child themes CSS.
eg.
#bbpress-forums .hentry { margin-left: 0px; }In reply to: Full Width for bbpress forums root page@robin-w wrote…
Good to have someone who is an expert on css on the forum – my css is rubbish !
Mine too 🙂
Only create “BuddyPress Group Forums”, don’t create other bbPress forums and also make sure you have the BuddyPress Group Forums Root set in Settings -> bbPress (The last setting of that page)
In reply to: Forum subscription subscribes to all forumsI can’t reproduce this using bbPress 2.5.4, BuddyPress 2.01 and WordPress 3.9.1 with the Twenty Fourteen theme.
In reply to: Problem with permalinks after bbpress-update to 2.54Everything here is working and is expected behaviour for bbPress.
You are correct replies no longer have a title, the slug of a reply is now the reply ID.
You would typically only notice this working in the backend by not seeing a reply title in the ‘edit reply’, yet when you look at the list of replies in the backend just like bbPress you will see all the replies have a title, this title is inherited from the topic title.
The key thing here is that when viewing a single reply on the front end it has no context without it’s parent topic. We also encourage the use of the vast majority of bbPress via the front end and not the backend, the backend is really only meant to be used if you cannot do something via the front end, we try to make everything work via both interfaces but due to other issues further upstream in WordPress Core we can’t replicate all the functionality we implement.
As you stated via @JJJ until WordPress 3.7 replies had to have a title, this imposed some limitations on what we could and could not do with replies, further to this change in bbPress there will be even further enhancements coming to bbPress, maybe 2.6, if not 2.7 due to this new found freedom and functionality we have with our replies.
As I continue reading the previous page I knew this was coming 😉
Why do I want this?
1. permalink without reply-title, but only with reply-ID is not good for search engines.Neither is duplicated content, previously if your topic URL was
/topic/topic-title, then your replies would be/reply/topic-title-1,/reply/topic-title-2etc, similar content but not the same content, now each reply has a unique URL.2. if I open a reply-post in the admin area, there is no title “reply to: …. (topic title) …” (the title bar is empty) and I do not know to which post this reply refers. This is not good for handling the forum in practice.
This is one of those things I just mentioned above, about working via the frontend vs the backend and until the updates upstream flow from WordPress Core this field will remain empty until we can actually hide it completely. You should be editing replies via the frontend, moderators and users all use the frontend to perform all the tasks required. I’m only a moderator here on bbPress.org and can perform any task bbPress needs just fine, it is the preferred experience as just because you can do something in the backend does not always mean you should.
Apologies that I only saw this this morning, crazy week last week.
In reply to: Capability needed for subscription notificationCan you create a ticket on Trac please and we can take a look.
In reply to: Problem with permalinks after bbpress-update to 2.54Apologies, I’ve only just seen this now, I’ll have another read of this after I have had a coffee or two later this morning.
