Hello,
I have searched both here and on WordPress.org for how to use shortcodes and still can’t seem to get it right.
I have a custom WordPress theme that is based on the stock twenty-eleven theme. I have created a child theme in order to add styling for my BBPress forum.
I’m hoping to mimic a style similar to the forums here on bbpress.org with the forum listings on the side. Am I correct this can be accomplished? If so, where do I include the shortcodes?
Thank you in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I’ve been attempting to import an existing standalone bbPress install into the plugin version without success. The existing forum is integrated with WordPress. According to the dashboard, it has 31 forums, 6,693 topics, 42,525 posts, 2,545 tags, and 2,711 users.
I set up a test install on my local computer with MAMP Pro, and brought the database and files over. All bbPress plugins and all plugins in WordPress except bbPress are disabled. I bumped up the memory and time limits for PHP.
It chugged through about half of the forums and their topics then just stopped without any error message. I thought this might be PHP timing out or running out of memory so I bumped max_execution_time and max_input_time to several hours and memory_limit to 2048M and tried again. It stopped at the same place with these settings.
There are no relevant messages in my php, mysql, or apache error logs.
I did a repair and optimize on the database tables then did a re-count of all items in the old bbPress forum and tried again. It was very close to the same result with only stopping a few posts sooner.
I looked in the database and checked the message it stopped on and the next numerical topic id messages and didn’t see any odd characters in the post content or title.
One other thing I noticed is that when I went back to the import screen it recognized that I had a partial import with the message “It looks like you attempted to convert your bbPress standalone previously and got interrupted.” I used the “Continue previous import” button but it started back at the beginning again. I’ve also tried the “Cancel & start a new import” button with not change in the results.
Any ideas where else to look, things to try, or additional information I can supply? Thanks.
To show the graphical smilies you must first allow graphical smilies in WordPress. Do that by going into Settings > Writing and ticking the “Convert emoticons like
…”That will allow standard WP smilies and show the smiley panel on the toolbar. The custom smileys is an option in the toolbar settings page.
I’ll look into where a relevant action hook is for the comments section as well as the id/name of the comment postbox. But I’ll really only be able to test this for the TwentyTen, TwentyEleven and BuddyPress default themes at this time.
I am running earlier version of bbpress and being the bbpress 2 is releases as a plugin of wordpress. Is the core forum supported anymore ? or any suggestions
@suziwilson – The way that BuddyPress integrates bbPress, into WordPress, is by taking over the installation and administration of bbPress completely. That said, if you are using BuddyPress to manage your forums, you do not have access to the bbPress admin area any longer.
If you previously had bbPress setup without BuddyPress, there is a large possibility that you will want to go back to the old setup you had before. BuddyPress currently ties forums into BuddyPress Groups, so they work a bit unconventionally compared to your normal support forums.
Very soon you will be able to install a new version of bbPress totally outside of BuddyPress, and they will work transparently without any additional setup, as two separate WordPress plugins rather than having bbPress be tucked away inside BuddyPress like it is now.
I know it’s all really confusing right now, but it won’t be soon.
That’s the risk when you run software that didn’t have a proper release yet
Proper documentation will come in time, I have no doubt about that.
If you were running the plugin that’s in the wordpress repository at the moment (beta2b or something) you might want to change that with the one in trac (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin) that has some fixes in it.
I don’t know if they’ll fix your problem though. I never had to add any code to my functions.php to make it work and while I do have a message in my dashboard “Theme does not natively support bbPress”, it works pretty good
Why not go the official way? https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin
Here it looks like the plugin is 100% translated in swedish

Topic: bbPress 2.0 – Feedback
So 2.0 beta has been downloaded over 15k times, which is awesome. Feedback has been coming in steadily, and I’ve been holding an official RC because of a few odds and ends that are taking some time to figure out. Hoping to get some feedback on a few specific things:
Page Templates
The way WordPress works, page templates can work automagically if the template name matches a page slug. This is really convenient as it automatically acts like a page template without setting it, but can get in the way if you want to use a specific page slug and not have bbPress take it over. Example:
page-user-register.php
If you made a WordPress page with the unique slug ‘user-register’ WordPress would automatically use that template file for that page. So far I’ve purposely picked unlikely template names so they wouldn’t collide with existing slugs. But, if that same file was renamed to:
page-register.php
…all it would take is making a “Register” page and bbPress would automatically have a sign-up page with no shortcodes and no more work. The adverse to that convenience is if you want to customize your sign-up page beyond what bbPress provides, you’re looking at a totally custom theme.
This works with any template file in the root folder of a theme, so there are lots of possibilities. My goal is to satisfy the majority, so I’m thinking of heading in this direction and renaming the template files.
Multisite
At the moment, multisite integration works great, if you want to have individual bbPress forums with their own authorized users per forum. If you want to have all users have access to all forums in a multisite install, you’re currently out of luck. With multisite there are endless configuration options, and I see the use case for all of them.
Which do you prefer as the default? Users can access all forums, or users can only access forums for which they have a role on that specific site?
Search
Right now there is no interface for searching the bbPress 2.0 integrated forums. The original implementation got negative reviews because search results were site wide, showing blog entries, topics, and replies.
It’s currently possible to filter search results by post type (topic/reply) but most WordPress themes assume the search results will come from posts or pages, and as such aren’t styled to look like forum results, which is really confusing to the person performing the search. It’s also confusing to have multiple search boxes, or to need to pick what results you’re looking for.
How do you think it should work? Should forum results appear in your existing blog search? Should they be separated? Should there be some kind of ‘smart search’ that knows where the request came from, and only shows results based on the type of content you are looking at (blog/forum/other)?
Settings
The WordPress mantra is decisions over options, but creating something as large as a discussion forum within WordPress is going to come with at least a few settings. I think our settings page is starting to get out of hand. Should we break the one page up into a few, or leave it as 1 page with all options?
That’s what’s on my mind. If you’ve been using 2.0 for the past few weeks, your input would be much appreciated so these last few ends can be tied up and we can let this ship sail.
First off, I’m sorry to start a new thread here. I commented on one here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/about-search-field-in-bbpress-20-beta-3 but unfortunately it got closed, so I can’t comment on it.
John James Jacoby told me:
This has been covered in these forums a few times already, which may or may not be an indicator of how little the search functionality gets used.
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575
But since I actually commented on a thread regarding the issue, it should tell John, that I actually did a search, and I had actually sought for about 30 minutes before writing the question. And a googlesearch also shows me, that it’s the only place linking to the tracticket: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575
Having said that. When I paste the code it just generates an error and the code in the trac ticket should be this instead:
function my_add_bbp_to_search( $post_type ) {
$post_type['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $post_type;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );Unfortunately I haven’t figured how to solve these two issues:
– have pages in search results (I always only get one page shown)
– show both forumposts and blogposts in search results.
So any thoughts on these issues would be great.
OK, I created a regular ole WP page and put the shortcode for showing the forum index in that regular ole WP page. Hit publish. I can see it. Great!
Is there a way to get it so it doesn’t have the WP sidebar and looks more like a forum usually looks? Not like it’s inside WordPress, in other words? I am thinking this may be where implementing “forum themes” comes in? If you have a link explaining this, I’d sure love to see it. Thank you so much, again, for taking a moment to help the clueless.
One thing I notice, too, is that there are references everywhere to the “bbPress admin” area and I only see an area in WP’s normal “settings” area and it doesn’t have anything like “bbPress integration” or any options like that. ?? I do see a message on my WP dashboard, “Theme does NOT natively support bbPress.”
