Hi I’m really keen on this layout rather than the default Forum index layout in bbPress.
I have created the loop-forums.php with the code and placed it in the bbpress folder of my child theme (I am using Buddyboss)
However having done that, my Forum index page still remains unchanged
The page just has
[bbp-forum-index]
Advice much appreciated
I’d like to thank @peterwsterling for modifying the plugin to allow a custom shortcode setting and make it compatible with WP Polls.
You’re a genius!
Pete I’d really like to use both.
Is it difficult to edit the plugin code and change the short code name?
Unfortunately, @peterwsterling it does not work when WP Polls is also installed. I hope you can reply. I also sent you feedback via your website.
Hi @peterwsterling I just bought your plugin and will test it out. Hope it works and does not conflict with WP Polls!
Hi @peterwsterling
I’m keen to get your plugin but I am also using WP Polls for blog posts and pages and in fact WP Polls can also embed in bbpress posts (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-polls/installation/) though Polls can only be created by Admins from the backend
WP Polls also uses the short code poll but in a different format
[poll id="2" type="result"]
But I like the concept of users being able to create their own polls in forum posts so I’d be keen to get your plugin provided it doesn’t conflict with WP Polls. Hope you can confirm.
Thanks
Hi @teppom
I tried it with my childtheme (Buddyboss) and I am getting blank page on my forum.
Not sure what the problem is.
Thank you @satrya. Works perfectly!
The bug is still there for 2.5.2
Hmm thanks for the headsup. Just tested subscription on a sub-forum and no, no email notification.
Not possible – closest is the opt-in Forum subscriptions with 2.5 or the New Topic Notifications plugin which requires one to add email addresses manually.
OK there was a similar question in the Buddyboss forums and if you are using the Buddyboss theme, it should be put in the bbpress subfolder (copy to child theme if not there) in the oop-single-reply.php file after the
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>
Now a further question – if I want to replace the Real Name displayed with only the @username, what should I do?
Thanks!
@howar31 how do you do a batch edit?
Same issue for me on inability to change a public forum to private or hidden
Just to add, I am using the new topic notification plugin which works fine.
Sorry that should be Buddypress 1.8.1
Gosh the fix sounds complicated. I’ll wait for the official bug fix 🙂
Hi I am not denying search engines nor changed the site address yet I don’t have notifications when the user is mentioned in the forums with @username
It’s working in the Activity stream though.
Anyone else have similar problems?
Buddypress 1.8.1, bbPress 2.4 and WordPress 3.6.1
@Tecca – I tried but it doesn’t display the @username. Where exactly in the loop-single-reply.php does one put it? Sorry noob here.
I am pleased to report I managed to successfully upgrade to bbPress from legacy forums
The proper code to put in the Forums page is:
[bbp-topic-index]
You did put [bbp-forum-index] in your Forums page did you not?
I mean all plugins disabled except Buddypress and bbPress.
Gee, am I the only one with this problem?
