Thanks Jared you have no clue how good it is to have you on my side on this one hahaha

I saw You and John write that exact answer on another post and my lack of knowledge in actual hand PHP scripting cause me to kill my site wich is about 70% bbpress i killed my functions.php so i had to download a new version of bbpress and replaced the files i touched with new ones.

I am positive (*crosses fingers*) that this do_shortcode script will work for me.

Main Issue: I have NO clue where in the functions.php to put it, can you give my sad non PHP reading butt an example of where it should go or would you like me to post my functions page here.

One more question:Do you mean my wordpress theme folder or my bbpress theme folder.

As always Jared you my friend are the freaking man and thank you

[DarwinsDream]

Wow i had no clue anyone was here in this bbpress forum, seems like everyone is posting on this topic. There are other topics going too guys. Like one’s that haven’t been addressed in 5 days… just saying

John?

Jared?

Anointed?

Can someone please take a look at my most recent topic that I posted. While waiting for an answer Ive crashed my site twice(worse than i ever had before) bringing it back twice and then rebuilt it totally again once in about 48 hours. I really need some help. I soooo don’t want to do a complete redesign in a new platform, but that is an option that has crossed my mind. I’m so happy with my wordpress/bbpress site. But I need to get this video player working.

Hi There,

I am running the latest wordpress

site url is: http://www.climberism.com/forum-page-tst/

We have an iframe setup in the url above pointing to the bbpress forum we have installed. It is the only way I can get it to work with my wordpress theme. Anyway, is there a way to stop the iframe refresh from always going back to the same page? ie. if you’re in the “gear talk” section and refresh you just get dumped back to the main forum page.

If anyone has any ideas, that would be awesome. Thanks.

Dear all, I have a wordpress website and in website have a bbpress forum. I want comment in a topic of website sort by post date desc but reply in a topic of forum sort by post date asc.

I was config “Setting -> Discussion: Comments should be displayed with the newer comments at the top of each page” and add filter:

add_filter( 'bbp_has_replies_query', 'bbp_reverse_reply_order' );
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {             

            // Bail if no query
if ( empty( $query ) ) return;

            // Change the order
$query = 'ASC';

            // Return the adjusted query
return $query;
}

BBPress order reply when query the replies by post date asc but when paging the replies is sorted by post date desc on a page.

Please help me resolved this issue. Thanks!

Use add_submenu_page( ‘themes.php’, … ); See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_submenu_page.

I cant get my jwplayer shortcode to work in bbpress. I am aware of the shortcode issue in bbpress. But I need all shortcodes to work in bbpress. Security is not an issue at this point.

I tried the (get_shortcode)code in the theme fuctions.php file with no result. Not really sure if I was supossed to put it in the wordpress theme or the bbpress theme. Maybe im writing the code in the wrong spot, I’m not the strongest on php my strengths are html, css, and design. This issue has been a thorn in my side for about a week. So if anyone can tell me exactly where to place the–

add_action( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

php script so I can get this thing flowing, I would def owe you a buck.

also i get an error when i try and install shortcode whitelist and bbcode

When activating the bbPress plug-in, bbPress automatically injects itself into the WordPress standard menu.

Is it possible to remove this link from the standard menu?

I’m using qTranslate on my WordPress installation and the link to bbPress that bbPress injects into the WordPress standard menu is not compatible with qTranslate.

I would like to add a standard custom menu link to the forum and remove the automatically injected link to the forum.

Is this possible?

Edit: Found a solution to this problem myself.

Hashbang urls are now handled in BackPress trunk as of https://backpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/350

And so work on the WP.com forums and anywhere else where a bbPress install pulls it’s BackPress external from HEAD of trunk/includes

[demonboy]

May I ask:

I am looking at simple:press versus bbPress. So I am interested in: WHY would you like to go for bbPress over simple:press?

I can answer that. SimplePress have just started charging for their support! My wife was encouraged by the developers to use their new version 5 when she was looking for a forum plug-in to her WordPress blog. Just when she was up and running they started charging and coincidentally she developed a bug in her forum at the same time after an update. She did not even receive notification that this was going to happen. I’m pretty disappointed with them for not telling her this was in the pipeline because she would have taken this into account and we’d have gone for BBPress in the first place.

She is so desperate now she’s almost at the point of paying for the support to sort the problem out but I would rather manually migrate to another forum just on principle.

We have tried contacting the developers at SimplePress but they are not interested.

@jjman – you can use this plugin to add a button for emoticons to the editor.

Using wp 3.4RC opening localhost/wordpress/forums results in a fatal error: “Forums

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded” pointing at different files/lines. Opening a specific forum through localhost/forums/forum/forumname or a topic through localhost/forums/topic/topicname seems to work properly.

Hi,

Is there a resolution to this? I’m having the same issue and I want to install a lightbox feature into the BBpress and without the /plugins/bbpress/my-plugins path I’m lost on how to make this work.

I’m using bbPress 2.0.2 with WordPress 3.3.2

I’ll keep looking at the other topics as I see that this thread is 11 months old at the time of this posting.

Thanks for any help in advance.

bbPress is now just a plugin.

Once you install the plugin and activate it, then you will see all of the forum options down the left hand side.

It adds custom post types and works inside wordpress rather than alongside it.

Good luck!

[sxalexander]

This is a bit late, but I think there’s another way to solve this.

I think the most WordPress-y way to accomplish this is to add the following to your theme’s /functions.php:

add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));

This will add the featured image metabox to all forums. See here for more details:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_type_support

[New Joerg]

As long as the forum is visible, it seems to work. Once the forum is set to “private” entries are only visible to admin. Registered users can’t even see their own posts. This remains true even when the forum will be switched back to “public”. The forum is here: http://zukunft-stadtbahn.de/forums/forum/redaktionsbesprechung/

It is public and anonymous posts are allowed.The basic settings were not changed. WordPress 3.3.2 and bbPress 2.0.2. Grateful for any help.

Hi Jaredatch,

I tried to add the code in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

But the message still appearing.

“Ce forum contient 5 sujets et 8 réponses, et a été mis à jour par”

(it s in french).

I added the code like that:

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_single_forum_description’, ‘ja_return_blank’ ) );

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_single_topic_description’, ‘ja_return_blank’ ) );

function ja_return_blank() {

ja_return ”;

}

?>

Just before the ?>

I’m using Genesis WordPress Theme.

I also tried to add the code there:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

Same problem a white page.

Hi ! (sorry for my english…)

I would like to use BBPress topics for post plugin, but when i install it all the previous wordpress comments i had in the post are not shown anymore. Only the new comments created with the plugin are shown.

Am i using the right plugin ? another one would do what i need ?

If not, Is there a way to keep those comments in my blog posts and also a way to automatically create topics in the forum using all the old wordpress comments ?

Thx for your help.

@Gautam

1. When creating a post or page I create a relation to a topic-tag, and then use that topic-tag as a “forum” and linking/fetching it on thepost or page itself. Is that what you are saying ? So how could I create a relation from post/page to topic-tag when posting ? Could there be a way to enable topic-tags for the standard post-type perhaps so a meta-box would occur beneath the standard post tag ? Or should I just create another custom taxonomy ?

It is a very good solution, Gautam. Beautiful and simple. Thank you.

@jaredatch

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-topics-for-posts-forum-for-post-in-stead-of-topic/

Yes, I know. Thanks.

@Lynq

That is an alternative solution, but as pointed out not what I am looking for.

@To the thread

Just to make it clear – I dont want an entire bbpress-installation for every post or page. But some kind of automation, so I would not have to insert a forum manually by shortcode. It is just another way of commenting more focused like in the bottom of amazon.com when you are iewing a book for example.

It is not a big problem as such. But it is obvious to replace the wordpress-comment system which is totally hopeless and lacking for a blogging platform. It is amazing that wordpress doesnt have any creative thoughts on commenting. WordPress should have invented disqus – not disqus. Disqus is really useful – but disqus takes control from you. P2 has some, sure.

Thanks for any input,

Jacob

It should work but historically GoDaddy is not a great host for WordPress sites in general due to speed issues, so I’d use a different one.

Personally I’ve always had good luck with HostGator.

[eternal noob]

Hi, Gautam.

Could you write a couple of more lines – Im not sure I understand. But actually, That would a bit like hypercomments – If one could only make topics as comments and then the topics up for discussion would be fetched back by shortcode. Are you thinking about the way wordpress supportforums are working now ?

Thanks.

When I enable the wordpress plugin, I get the following warning:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-akismet.php on line 693

I think it might be an Issue with PHP 5.4

I have running debian with PHP 5.4.0 an Apache Webserver

I’m trying to create the author.php file inside wordpress to display user’s profile, latest blog posts and user’s forum activities. Using the snippet below just returns empty data for each user. I’m sure I’m missing something in the snippet and hopefully someone could point me to the right direction.

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' );



// Subscriptions

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'subscriptions'  );



// Favorite topics

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'favorites'      );



// Topics created

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' );



?>

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

You can look into something like http://pippinsplugins.com/mark-as-read-for-wordpress/ however it will require some moderate tweaks to work with bbPress I believe.
