OK first read about short codes here.

Basically a short code is a place holder for content (html, images, posts, etc). When you place [bbp-forum-index] into the content of a page, it will be replaced automatically with an index of your forums in bbPress. Try it out and you’ll see what I mean.

Hello, I’m trying to set a wordpress site, where for the forum, people fill a form : reach or propose a travel, place they live, number of seat in their car, and then enter the form that will appear with a css style and people can interact to it …
Any idea of how can I create a form forum like that ?
Thanks in advance,
Oli

Use bbPress String Swap plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

Only users with upload capability are allowed to embed images by default. I’d recommend that you install the GD bbPress Attachments plugin for this as it will give the option for users to upload images.

There’s a lack of documentation at the moment because the site is being redone (slowly) and the individuals responsible for the majority of the documentation are also the main developers, who are busy writing code 😀

The location of the forums on your site depend on the settings you have set in Settings > Forums. Take a look at the documentation for basic settings.

You can also manually place the forums index on any regular WordPress page by using the [bbp-forum-index] short code. Short code reference.

I am trying to get rid of the text: “Add this topic to your favorites” and “This topic is one your favorites”, as I am using a background css image instead.

The icons are working beautifully, bar the fact that the text comes up.

You will also notice that if you click the star to add it to your favorites, another star appears, which is a link to all your favorites. It appears the link to the forum favorites doesn’t have its own css class, which is why both are coming up as stars. I’d like to get rid of that.

Not sure if this will fit in with your plugin bbPress String Swap David, if you see this.

If you want to see this in action on my forum (still being built), log in at http://netballscoop.com/log-in/ with Username: testing and Password: testing. The forums are at http://netballscoop.com/forums and click on a single topic to see the favorites and subscriptions at the top underneath the title.

I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2.

How do users register? Default WordPress registration form or a plugin?

[infuri0us]

Hey guys, my website is alphaonegaming.com, and I have installed the bbpress wordpress plugin, but when I go to make a user registration page, the template for making it so does not appear. I am using the lucid theme by elegant themes if that helps.

[hixsonb]

I have WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress plugin version 2.1.2.

I recently used the migration tool to import the data from an old bbPress 1.1 forum. Everything seemed to go quite well. I did lose some topics but I can certainly live with it.

I have, however, noticed that the Login Notice “You Must be logged in to post a topic” is NOT showing when users are not logged in.

I can see the code (or what I think is the code) in the bbPress template but it just won’t show.

Yous assistance would be appreciated.

I found a solution, install simple local avatars plugin from wordpress repositories

Hi.

I have WordPress site with bbPress. Actually, after a user creates a new topic it goes to the new topic page.

Is it possible to force system to redirect to forum topic list page ? The action property of the tag is empty, so I don’t know where this submit is processed.

Thank you.

[Pippin Williamson]

Drop this code snippet into a custom plugin (you can use Pluginception to easily create one)

function pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe( $checked, $topic_subscribed  ) {

    if( $topic_subscribed == 0 )
        $topic_subscribed = true;

    return checked( $topic_subscribed, true, false );
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_form_topic_subscribed', 'pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe', 10, 2 );

I’ve never tried adding featured images to forums, but the first thing that comes to mind is that you do not need to add the meta box. The featured image meta box should be added automatically by WordPress when you add support for the images.

Just released v1.1.0 of my plugin!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

It add the previous/next string parameters for Topic & Reply pagination.
So this also very handy for changing this via bbPress main settings 🙂

Enjoy!

I know how to create child themes in WordPress, but given that bbpress uses a special theme within the plugins subdirectory I am confused as to where it goes. Can someone please tell me where to put it?

Does the child theme go in this directory?
/Clean_Test/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes

Or, here:
/Clean_Test/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress

Or, some other place?

[Pippin Williamson]

The taxonomy ID for tags is “topic-tag”. You don’t want to set the meta_key, however.

You can do it in a couple of ways. One is to use the “tax_query” parameter.

You could also pass a parameter like the following to your query:

'topic-tag' => array('tag-1', 'tag-2')

Does that help?

[Pippin Williamson]

There is an option in Settings > Forums to control which user types have access to post in the bbPress forums.

When a user is created in bbPress by registering, they are always added to WordPress.

[Pippin Williamson]

Are you using a custom background image feature from your theme, or the built-in background feature provided by WordPress?

[q5sys]

Current site:
Wordpress V 3.4.2
bbpress V 2.1.2
Buddypress V 1.6.1

Old site:
Wordpress 1 user
phpbb v 3.10 40 users

I converted my forums over to bbpress. Everything went fine.
All the threads and users where there.
I installed buddypress as well and that works fine.
buddypress automatically synced up with all of the existing users.

I’m building the site up though so the activity on the site is low. However I’ve noticed something. All of the buddypress features work perfectly. However with bbpress no one can post or reply. In fact the only way admin can do anything is to do so through the dashboard. If admin is broswing the forum he cant reply or create a new topic.
The edit box is there, but when you click ‘submit’ it just reloads the page and nothing happens. I’ve tried this with users at all levels.

I wanted to integrate bbpress into buddypress, but the only way I can do that and retain my existing data is to choose group forums with existing install, but that wont work because i dont have a bb-config.php

I have completely disabled buddypress and the problem still exists. Somewhere something in my bbpress configuration must be messed up. any help?

I’m trying to add featured images to forums. I have successfully filtered the register_post_type call like so;

/**
 * Add thumbnails to forums
 */
function ys_forum_featured_images( $post_type ) {
     $post_type['supports'][] = 'thumbnail';
     return $post_type;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ys_forum_featured_images' );

That did not, however add the meta box to the post edit page so I further used the following;

/**
 * Add featured image meta box
 */
function ys_bbp_featured_images(){
    add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Featured Image'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', 'forum', 'side', 'low');
}
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'ys_bbp_featured_images', 100);

The meta box then appears but in the image details I see the “Insert into post” button and “Delete” link but no “Use as featured image” link.

Any idea how I get that added?

The only thing I could find were these tickets talking about the link appearing when it shouldn’t:
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1633

I really hate to open a new topic since there seems to be several on the subject I have in mind. Which involves issues when trying to import a bbPress 1.1 installation to WordPress 3.4.2 using the bbPress 2.1.2 plugin.

I have read the other topics but I am still not getting something right or I am just overlooking a step.

As stated, I have a current bbPress 1.1 installation that is integrated to my WordPress installation.

When I fill out all the fields in the Import Forums section, it starts the process but I receive a message “No forums to convert”, “No topics to convert” and etc. However, there are no errors.

I looked in the WP_Options table for the bbp_converter_query option to see if it provided any information but that option was not there.

After everything completes, I do run the Repairs and Recounts to no avail.

Quite honestly, to me… it looks like the plugin is not connecting to the database even though I know the settings are correct.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks much,
Bert

I fixed it. The problem was the theme. Either I was installing it incorrectly and not properly activating it as a WordPress Child Theme, or the theme was simply broken. I installed a standalone bbpress theme here and it worked right off the get go. Topic can be closed.

Hey,

I have the latest version of WordPress and use Multisite installation with 30+ users. The multisite has 6 different blogs and one forum powered by bbPress.

According to the Dashboard of the website with bbPress there are 32 users on the fora. But when I click on the ‘Users’ Tab there are only 4 users…
Also users complain that they get errors while trying to start new topics…

Look here for a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/screenshot20120917at154.png

Also in the superadmin dashboard of the network there are only three listed users, but it says there should be 32…

Any idea how to resolve this?
