In reply to: Adding custom fields in user profile
If you’re reasonable at php, download a plugin I wrote for adding town and county to bbpress, and crack this open.
It has the code to add two fields (town and county) to profile, which displays under the avatar on topics and replies. But you can alter and use this code to add any fields the users profile so that they can edit and update.
In reply to: Changing "Forum" on Main PageThere are probably much cleverer ways to do this but find the following file
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php
On line 19 you’ll find the following
<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>change the ‘Forum’ to whatever you want it to read.
If you just change it in this location, it will be overwritten each time bbpress updates.
What you really need to do is to put it into your theme – see
item 3 for how to do this, and part 2 of the guide (go to the codex home for this) discusses how to set up a child theme
In reply to: How do my users create a topic?No problem !
In reply to: How do my users create a topic?create new is at the bottom of a forum page – not always that obvious
I created a page titled “add new topic” with the content of
[bbp-topic-form]– the shortcode for creating a topic.
I then use a text widget in the sidebar with the content of
<a href="/add-new-topic/">Create a new topic</a>the “/add-new-topic/” is the permalink to the page.

In reply to: bbpress and buddypress – Current VersionsGreat, glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: bbpress and buddypress – Current VersionsGreta, thanks, and let us know what buddypress says !
In reply to: How to change border on main forum page?look at
and see
for where to put the changes if you’re not certain.
In reply to: bbpress and buddypress – Current VersionsSuspect you have a conflict somewhere. bbpress and buddypress will work, so it is something else.
Suggest you start by disabling all your plugins, and switching to a default theme. Add bbpress, buddypress and test that works (it should). Then add woocommerce, again it should work. Then switch to your normal theme, and test again. If that all works, then add back the other plugins one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
In reply to: Form To Forum PostSuspect that not a lot of bbpress people will have done this, and probably none that view this forum.
Basically you just need your form to save the relevant bits to the database as a forum entry.
I’d start by looking at how an entry is stored in the database, and then get your form to do this for you.
In reply to: Topic Thumbnails?Great, glad it all worked !
If you’re not using a child theme, then any theme upgrade may overwrite your functions file, so keep a note of the final code you used, as you may need to add it back.
In reply to: Topic Thumbnails?Yes, No particular point that you should insert it – I’d put it at the end.
In reply to: Topic Thumbnails?Ok, I cracked that code open, and think that putting in the following will work
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'assylumn_insert_thumbnail' ); function assylumn_insert_thumbnail() { echo('<a href="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture.jpg">') ; echo('<img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail" width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture.jpg"/>' .'</a>'); }Obviously you’ll need to change the URL to your image
You’ll need to add this to your functions file, if you don’t know how to do this, come back !
In reply to: Topic Thumbnails?which plugin are you referring to? That would be a good starter
In reply to: Private: appended twice to forum titleThis plugin might let you change the words
EDIT: Robin, I removed the code you posted as it was not really what was needed, check the plugin below. Cheers, Stephen
In reply to: change forum sidebarGreat to hear you’re fixed !
In reply to: something wrong in bbPress installationcan you see “forums” in the dashboard?
Could be theme or plugin conflict.
Try switching to a default theme (such as twenty twelve) to see if problems remains.
Then try disabling all you plugins, and if that fixes, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue
In reply to: How to add new forum roles?Try using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
I haven’t used it myself, but others have with success
In reply to: Couple of hints for theme developersMarkic,
Thanks for posting these – I’ve added them to the codex documentation at
as items 6 & 7

In reply to: Plugin Update 2.5.3Try switching to a “default” theme (such as twenty twelve) and see if it goes away.
If not, try disabling your other plugins and re-introduce one at a time to see if there’s a conflict.
shmoo,
don’t think there’s any conspiracy to keep this stuff secret, rather that the clever people who write this stuff are generally the same type of people who hate documenting – they enjoy the code and getting it to do stuff, not the this is how I did it.
I’d love to see a crib on the structure of the bbPress plugin – a list of the directories and files, and a description of what each file did – eg loop-single-forum.php does this, and content-single-topic does that etc. but unless I do one, don’t think it will happen.
I’ll try to unravel the filter side of the plugin at some stage !
best explanation I know is here :
I plan to write some bbPress specific documentation for this when I get my head around it enough to pass it on (I am relatively new to wordpress as well).
In reply to: Email notificationsyes, I use the bbPress Notify plugin which does both topics and replies
In reply to: Help with bbpress InstallI’m afraid that I am a bit lost, because I’m not sure what you are showing me under this link.
However if you want to remove parts of the breadcrumb you can add a function to your functions file
eg
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() { // Home - default = true $args['include_home'] = false; // Forum root - default = true $args['include_root'] = false; // Current - default = true $args['include_current'] = true; return $args; } add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options' );If you want to lose the breadcrumb all together you can use
function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) { return true; } add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');Otherwise come back and explain a bit further about what your link is taking me to eg is this a page and what is the content of that page
