Yeah, doesn’t quite do what I need, although it helped me figure out how to undo exclude_from_search.

Thanks

Neolo7, try setting your permalinks to something other than default. You should at least have %postname%.

To add /forums/ to your menu, use the custom links option. Or create a page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, then add that page to the menu.

There is a glitch that is not bbpress related, but rather it’s custom post types related. If you theme relies on the class “current_page_parent” to highlight the current page, WordPress things any post type should keep your blog page highlighted, if you have one. Here’s a piece of code you can drop in functions.php to help:

// fix menus

function support_menu_item($menu){

global $post;

if (get_post_type($post->ID) == 'forum' || get_post_type($post->ID) == 'topic' || get_post_type($post_id) == 'reply')

{

$menu = str_replace( 'current_page_parent', '', $menu ); // remove all current_page_parent classes

$menu = str_replace( 'menu-item-169', 'menu-item-169 current_page_parent', $menu ); // add the current_page_parent class to the page you want

}

return $menu;

}

add_filter( 'nav_menu_css_class', 'support_menu_item', 0 );

Be sure to change “169” to the id of your menu item.

I figured it out. It had something do with me calling the_excerpt_rss in my header.php. removed it, works perfectly!

Is bbPress ever going to get as sophisticated and easy to use as WordPress?

[@tammyhart Member 16 years, 8 months ago]

I guess i was wrong, thought i was working, but it’s not. Does anyone know the proper tag for this?

[@tammyhart Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

thanks alot for having me look it back over. See, I haven’t yet pointed my site to my domain yet, http://www.tammyhartdesigns.com, because i want to develop this before i release it, so i have to use that weird address to see the site so far. So i was using the /~wwwtamm as part of the address, and putting it there. but I moved it to the directories part: ‘/~wwwtamm/wordpress/bbPress/’

and now it all works! thanks again.

sorry, the link to that would be http://www.blink.inkcheckhost.com/~wwwtamm/wordpress/bbPress

[@tammyhart Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

okay, i figured all that out, but i’m getting a cookie error when i try to go to a topic or forum. I know there’s somthing about cookies in integrating, but i just don’t understand what i’m supposed to do about that.
