yes use the shortcode

[bsp-display-topic-index]

available in

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

once activated see settings>bbp style pack> shortcodes for a full explanation of how to use this

[Robin W]

forums should be fully functional for logged in users, so your issue should not be there !

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

A request for guidance from a bbPress newbie, who has searched for help and tried various plugins but not found a solution.

I am setting up a WordPress site (V4.2.2) with bbPress (v2.5.7). I want most forums to be browsable by registered logged-in users but not by the public. A logged-in user should be able to subscribe to a topic without admin approval, so they can contribute and get notified of new discussions or comments.

If I make the forum Private that seems to stop unsubscribed but logged in users from seeing the forum. I need something like a ‘Logged-in users’ permission.

Any guidance on how to set this up will be much appreciated – thank you.

I followed the advice under: Using bbPress Forums with BuddyPress Group Forums

It is possible and quite powerful to use both bbPress sitewide forums as well as BuddyPress Group Forums. A few caveats apply in order to ensure an easy setup:

1. After installing and activating bbPress, please go to your admin dashboard under “Pages/All Pages” and find any page using the slug of “forums”.

2. If such a page slug exists, as would be normally be the case if you first installed BuddyPress, it is recommended that you delete this page so as to free-up the use of the “forums” slug for bbPress.

3. Be sure that you also empty the trash of this “forums” page to free-up the slug.

4. You can then create a new page slug for BuddyPress Group Forums, using a different name. Eg: “Group Forums”.

5. After creating a new page (Eg: “Group Forums”), go into Settings/BuddyPress/Pages and choose this new page to act as the placeholder for BuddyPress Group Forums

6. Finally, go to Settings/Permalinks and click “Save” to ensure that you update your permalink structure

All was going well until I got to Step 6 and when I saved it crashed the wp-admin. I have spent two days attempting to fix the problem to no avail.

I have to turn off User Groups in Buddypress to get bbpress to load. When I turn on the User Groups and set the Group Forums at Settings/BuddyPress/Pages it crashes. Then I have to FTP Delete the bbpress and change the settings back in order to reload bbpress and take another run at it. Something is wrong.

I am using bbpress 2.5.7, BuddyPress 2.2.3.1, with the BuddyBoss Theme and Child Theme and WordPress 4.2.2. All other plugins are deactivated.

Any suggestions?

Hi!

I am planning to create a new forum website using bbPress. I want to change / add / remove topic headings. Since, I am yet planning I will use latest versions of WordPress and bbPress

eg;

instead of : Topic, Voices, Replies, Freshness

I want : Posts (Number of replies to the topic) Views (number of views) Posted By (Name /username of topic starter) Latest Reply (latest reply by + minutes ago)

I even want to add a few more headings like catagories

Thanks a lot for the help 🙂

[fouldsy99]

New user:

I’ve recently installed bbpress on my wordpress website.

The freshness/voice columns look out of shape, how can I fix this?

Here is the link: http://worldinsport.com/forums/forum/sports-general/

Many thanks

The plugin comes to wordpress org! Checkout https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/

Right now without auto flushing rules 😭

[DevynCJohnson]

@robkk , thanks. Actually, I had written some code like that for my website late last night. The result can be seen in action at http://dcjtech.info/forum/articles/operating-systems/linux/ . I even figured out how to migrate the bbpress-simple-view-counts data to my implementation. The migration was easy (a few SQL queries via phpMyAdmin) and not at all complex as other developers thought (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sync-with-simple-view-counts).

Hello!

First, I want to say how much I appreciate the BBpress platform. I’ve been using it for over a year now and it has served the site well.

I have ran into an issue where every single comment ever made on posts now appear below the forums. I’m completely baffled as to how to handle this. It does seem to be a theme issue as this does not happen with the TwentyFifteen theme. Is there a way to remove showing the comments altogether on any forum page (which is preferred actually).

Has anyone had this same issue? Is there a way to simply have the comments not show up at all in the forums? Is there code that I can place in my functions.php that will make them not appear in the forums?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. As of now, this issue is causing some confusion and making my pages extremely long.

Hey Rob,
Yes – thank you. Dan has been very helpful. At this point, I think it’s becoming more of a preference question … as I am struggling with what path to take.

We definitely already have sitewide forums w/ vBulletin, so we could easily just keep WordPress as our blog and use site-wide forums w/ bbPress. The thing I feel like I’m missing there is the added sense of community that can be built via the “add friend” type thing you get w/ BuddyPress.

Beyond that, my biggest question is the use of Groups in BuddyPress. My concern I expressed in the other thread was that you can get the discussion happening inside a group (via the comment/status system) that is NOT part of the forum, and vice-versa. So, discussion is not happening in the same place. The big idea we had was to bring it all together.

I suppose the simplest idea would be to not enable groups, and use site-wide forums … but if not using Groups, I’m not sure what other big plus there is to BuddyPress.

Again – I realize at this point, it’s all subjective and preference. I’m enlisting some beta-testers to hit our staging site from our existing forums to see what they like/dislike.

[Hope]

Actually I already added ‘style’ to ‘span’, I added the paragraph ‘p’ as you mentioned but still the same issue!

Here’s the part of the HTML page that is treated in the function but still HTML tags appear in the post:

<p>
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color:
<a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow" href="http://localhost/wordpress/forums/search/?bbp_search=%23000080">#000080</a>
;”>
<em>
<strong>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">test</span>
</strong>
</em>
</p>

Again, have I missed something?

Thanks for your help
Hope

its all self explatory really.

you can test them out by creating a test page and putting each shortcode into it to see what it does.

if you need help finding ids of bbPress post types install this plugin, then look in the certain post types section.

like say forums , you go to the WordPress back-end and go to forums> all forums and you will see all the forums post id to use for these shortcodes. It would be close to the same procedure for topics and replies.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/

[Robkk]

i tried to make this and failed at it.

you can look for tutorials on the web for creating this type of thing like this.

bbPress Recent Replies Shortcode

or you can hire a developer to create this type of functionality for you.

if you need to post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

sorry for the late reply and nope i don’t have a quick fix

you might need to hire a developer to fix this for you.

if you want to share what the issue was you can do so here, and see if its a bug that needs to be reported for anyone else in your situation.

[Robkk]

i dont know what to tell you.

you might need to hire a developer to do this for you.

[Robkk]

hire a web designer

post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

ahh i get what you are saying now.

maybe when we get @mentions and its notifications and that might be sort of what you are looking for.

im not that great at developing with php but im learning.

you could post a job at this site and hire a developer so they could create whatever you want though.

this might help you.

[Robkk]

I’d set these to show short excerpts only

is this an option in your themes settings??

but im going to assume your theme thinks bbPress is a blog post , adn that you should create a bbpress.php file and remove any unwanted code.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

this plugin will help you find the right file to copy to create a bbpress.php file.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

[Robkk]

bbPress shouldnt have comments??

if you havent already create a bbpress.php file and remove any code for WordPress comments.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

this plugin will help find the file you have to make a copy of to create a bbpress.php file

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php and remove any post meta code like by (author) published (post date)

basically your theme thinks that the bbPress archive page is a blog post so it structures it like so , it keeps the forum limit low as if it was an excerpt.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

this plugin will help you find the file you would need to copy and create a bbpress.php file from.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

[Robkk]

you can use this as an alternative if you want.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postviews/

you would have to put this code somewhere in your loop-single-topic.php file in your child theme.

<?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>

Maybe replace voice count?? or create a new column?? or just like simple view counts has like this.

function rk_bbp_postviews() {
  if (function_exists('the_views')) { 
	
	echo the_views(); 
  
  }
  
}  

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by', 'rk_bbp_postviews' );

heck you can even use jetpack for post views.
