If you have BuddyPress installed, this should work: mysite.com/members/wordpressusername/

If it doesn’t work you can just go to a forum thread and click the link to the profile of someone who has made a post.

Hey all! We have just released bbPress Notifications, which will make your bbPress give all your users private messaging, global notifications, google search integration and friend requests, along with @user mentions, and a slick navigation system.

I’d love it if we could get feedback, and reviews, positive and negative.

I want to display in WordPress search results page – 10 or less found results from BBPress (plugin) forums. I know that BBPress use custom post types (forum, topic, reply) but I don’t know how to do it. I try with WP Query, but it didn’t show nothing. I don’t want to override BBPress search page and functions, I just want to show some results in WordPress search page. Is this possible?

Thank you all in advance.

Here is the query I try:

<?php 
    // The Query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( array (
        'post_type' => array('topic', 'reply'),
        'posts_per_page' => 10,
        's'=> $s
    ));

    // The Loop
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post();
            echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
        }
    } else {
    // no posts found
    }
    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

I use the ‘Recent Topics’ widget.
There is an option you can tick to show the topic author. I have this option ticked but the author does not show.

Wordpress Version 3.6.1
bbpress Version 2.4

I’ve installed bbpress and really love the plugin. However I’m having issues with assigning roles to users.

I’ve created a user (Subscriber or Editor) and wanted to assign the bbpress role of Participant. When I assigned the user this role it doesn’t however appear in the dashboard. It only shows the profile and not the “Topics” & “Replies”.

I’ve disabled all plugins that are related such a “Members Plugin”, “Admin Editor” and “CMS Pods – component user roles”. I’ve had no luck of making these menu appear in either the Subscribe account or the editors account.

When I select moderate role, it works perfect, but the participant doesn’t work at all. Any ideas or Solution as to why this happens?

My Forum is public and set to open for the public viewing.

Any help would much be appreciated.

Thanks

This past weekend we spoke with John James Jacoby on our WordPress Weekly podcast. John is the lead developer for both the bbPress and BuddyPress plugins. We had the pleasure of chatting with him about his new job at 10up as well as everything that’s going on with bbPress and BuddyPress these days.

During our interview we asked John if he knew of any bbPress or BuddyCamp events in the works. He said that he didn’t know of any coming up but would love to see a bbPress camp organized, perhaps in a more central midwest location. The question is: Is there enough interest to warrant a bbPress event or perhaps combine it with a BuddyPress event?

Head on over and read the full post and vote in the poll 🙂

Is Anyone Interested In a bbPress Camp?

Hi guys,
i have problem with the links (Topics started, Replies created, Favorites, Subscribtion, Edit) in the user profile site – they are wrong or something else o:-) (my english is little bit bad) 😉
What can be the problem?
Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t tested this myself but there are a few themes out there that support WordPress, bbPress, BuddyPress & WooCommerce so I would think that a few people have this up and running pretty much out of the box.

Your main issue I would start looking into would be managing your users and user profiles.

A seriously quick search for ‘WordPress & bbPress’ revealed this:

http://docs.woothemes.com/document/product-support/

[Stephen Edgar]

I also saw watched this stream from WordCamp SF 2013 and it looks quite cool.

The features as you mention @sadr share some similar goals I agree. Some people say why run a forum at all these days, why not just a blog with comments and a good theme. I think the same approach should probably apply here for O2 also. What does O2 do for you that a WP blog or bbP forum does not and will it fit my needs better than the current solutions available.

I would also love to see these same features you mention available either in bbPress or as plugins, sadly my coding skills just aren’t there to contribute such awesomeness. 😉

That all said if O2 is a plugin for available in the WordPress plugins directory I would hope O2 has support for custom post types then why would it not work with bbPress? (hack, hack, hack, see slide 62 “Template compatibility is hard”)

And I’ll leave with this:

Getting bbPress working there would be a very different project from what we’re doing with o2.

[Stephen Edgar]

In a short answer no, bbPress uses the ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ slugs (or your alternate via bbPress settings) to tell WordPress that the content is from a custom post type ‘Forum’, ‘Topic’ or ‘Reply’.

[Stephen Edgar]

Sure is possible 🙂

Take a read of this to help you on your way https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Make a category (forum) called ‘Fruits’ and then make your sub forums ‘Apples’, ‘Oranges’ etc
Make another category (forum) called ‘Vegetables’ and sub forums ‘Potatoe’, ‘Carrots’ etc

Create a WordPress page for each of your categories ‘Fruits’ and ‘Vegetables’

Use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] bbPress shortcode on each of these pages with the forum_id of each category.

[Stephen Edgar]

I don’t think things have progressed much further than what you have found thus far. The best place to keep track of this would be to subscribe to the bbPress Trac ticket #2191.

Forum Section

• Added Forum Display Order using wbb1_1_board.sortOrder
• Added wbb1_1_board.boardType and callback method callback_forum_type where category =1 & forum = 0
• wbb1_1_board.isClosed & callback method callback_forum_status where closed =1 & open = 0
• (Are the above values correct for these DB fields? I have guessed these ;))

Topic Section

• Changed callback method for Topic Language from callback_topic_reply_count to callback_topic_language
• Added topic author ip
• Your SQL join for the topic content looks good

Reply Section

• Fixed ‘Reply parent forum id’ (we need the ‘parent forum’ here not the first ‘post id’, the inline docs were not very clear here)
• Removed ‘Reply Unregistered Author name’ (See #2347for more info)

User Section

• Added ‘User Signature’ wcf1_user.signature

Generally cleaned up the code and inline docs to match the other importers.

Hi, I’m thinking of a website entirely implemented in wordpress that has a section in which the user can identify and from there you can access different pages and also to an online store WooCommerce. If the user would not have to buy anything to be re-identified.

All this I can integrate bbpress?, I need some additional plugin?

Thank you!

Xavier.

Hi Guys

I know WordPress to a reasonable level but am completely new to forum building and BBPress. I am hoping my question has a simple answer and is probably me missing something very simple.

I have set up the forum for a charity I am working with, its installed fine and we have some test topics up and running. No problems.

The installation provides me with a forum address of http://mydomain.com/forums/forum/forum-name which is fine.

All I want to do is basically add some notes/welcome message and an image just above where the forum starts but I dont seem to be able to do it. When I go into my form and add in text or an image, in the same way you would add to a page/post then save it, nothing appears?

Any ideas at all how I can achieve this? Should this be happening in the way that it is?

Many thanks!

Justin

[palmdoc]

Hi I am not denying search engines nor changed the site address yet I don’t have notifications when the user is mentioned in the forums with @username
It’s working in the Activity stream though.
Anyone else have similar problems?

Buddypress 1.8.1, bbPress 2.4 and WordPress 3.6.1

Hi!
I’m using pretty permalinks on my WordPress site and has been working hard with the SEO on the site.

One thing I can’t seem to solve, although I have been googling and searched this forum for days now, is how to get rid of the /topic/ and /forum/ parts of the permalinks when using bbPress.

Is it even possible?

The ideal setup for me, that would also reflect how the rest of my site is set up, would be something like this:

mysite.com/forums/name-of-the-forum-topic/name-of-the-thread

Is this possible to accomplish?

Thanks a lot for a great plugin!

// Jens.

I went to clan.wolflan.com and your source code looks like some paragraphs were added by your editor as I see some <p> and </p> in weird places. What software did you use to edit loop-single-forum.php or your functions.php ?

I was not able to check because some of your forums are private, but what’s the html source code for the list of subforums ? (I mean in the browser) Is there a <br /> between the list of subforums ? Because, when I watch your screenshot, subforums are not separated by a comma, so I guess the function did his job, but your code may be broken because you used WordPress editor or an other editor that deleted the <br />.

Anyway, in your case, the simplest solution may be using some CSS. And as you said, simple stuff first ! You wouldn’t need to change any php template. You may try something like that in your style.css or Custom CSS if you use Jetpack :

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
  display: block;
}

If it works, I don’t know what was the problem with the bbp_list_forums() function, but you will not need to use it and you can delete the custom loop-single-forum.php that you copied to your theme’s directory if you had not made other edits.

[Beau Lebens]

Yes, except that I work at Automattic (we run WP.com), so we can run whatever we want on WordPress.com. Getting bbPress working there would be a very different project from what we’re doing with o2.

[Erlend]

Thank you very much for chiming in Beau. Your points make sense, except the first one has me a bit confused. o2 is going to be a plugin, like bbPress. So isn’t “WordPress.com runs WordPress, not o2” just as true?

the code will be open source, so you’re welcome to take pieces and apply it to bbPress as well.

I sincerely hope that will be feasible. Excitedly looking forward to seeing o2 in action!

[Beau Lebens]

I suppose there are a few reasons for this, but the most immediate are:

• Our primary goal is replacing our own internal communications platform (P2). That runs on WordPress.com, which runs WordPress, not bbPress (this is probably the biggest one).
• We (the team working on it) are more natively WordPress developers than bbPress specifically.
• Quite simply, we didn’t really think about it until we were already well along the way building it for WordPress.

There are no plans to do anything related to bbPress, but the code will be open source, so you’re welcome to take pieces and apply it to bbPress as well.

[Travis S.]

My goal is to make multiple forums (around 10 when its all said and done). Each forum will be for different subjects but all related with each on a different page.

Per example… one forum will be on a specific fruit. So apple, oranges, etc. but would all fall under the umbrella Fruit (not my actual plans, but this was easier to explain).

Is this possible?

I’m currently running one bbpress install on the twenty-13 theme. I know there is a shortcode to show specific topics on a page, but I want each forum to show on just one page.

Note: ive been on wordpress.com for a little while and started over on the .org. So I’m completely knew to screwing around with php files. Not asking you to hold my hand through it all, but clear directions would be great. Sorry if this question is a repost and/or very basic and im just over thinking it.

Thanks in advance,
