I’m working on a website that has the eShop and bbPress plugins installed. The eShop plugin alters the WordPress profile to include fields for the user’s address while this doesn’t happen with the bbPress profile. Is it possible to either:

1. Force bbPress to use the WordPress profile which has these fields, or

2. Code it so that the bbPress profile grabs these fields from the WordPress profile

I know a little php but both of these options are beyond my skills so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.

I made a terrible mistake. I allowed Buddypress to install bbPress for me.

Now I can’t find which CSS file handles the colour scheme. I’m using a dark WordPress theme so I need to adapt the background colours to it.

Can anyone point me towards the appropriate CSS file please?

Well I come here 1 more time because I really can not do more and I need a little help please.

I am using a child theme called Arras Classical Gamer. I test many times and try a lot of tutorial but is really impossible fix problem with bbpress.

You can see my website here http://www.site.teamcyanide.eu working perfectly with buddypress and pluging like BuddyPress Template Pack. That was my first hard mission but I do it well and everything work good with some change on CSS.

Now the only problem I have is that forum bbpress dont work good. For example I creat a forum called Starcraft 2 and when I clic on view look what happen:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/board/forum/starcraft-2

I create a category of Starcraft 2 forum and look:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/board/forum/starcraft-2/protos

So is simple, dont work but I continue looking here on forum and google then I try use Shortcodes from here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes, and look what happen:

http://site.teamcyanide.eu/example-forum

You can see ok I can fix the CSS to make it look better, but if you clic on forum or category continue with same problem, just test yourself and can see it.

So guys please, some one can tell me please what can I do for implement my forum of bbpress in my website?

I know on internet I have other forums and scripts, but I really love bbpress and all software make it by wordpress, buddypress, etc.

Someone have mercy on me and help me a little?

Thanks.

I’ve looked at solutions around here and found some that i thought would work but they didn’t.

This is a fresh WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress install. (Installed in that order)

When I installed all of the everything went fine(i think) until i wanted to access the site wide forums from the site.

When i click on the forums link in the menu it i get a red square that says “The forums component has not been set up yet.”

In Settings>Forums>Archive Slugs i get one error.

Forums base: Forums Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page

Other then that i’m not able to see the forum index (list of categories and their sub forums) even if i add [bbp-forum-index] to the forums page.

anyone got and idea of what’s wrong (except that i’m a complete beginner at wordpress).

How is bbPress for a forum just shy of 200,000 posts and over 16,000 members? Can bbPress handle the growth to 500k to 1 million posts? Are there any good plugins/mods that help sync user data and unify the experience?

I’ve installed your widget for my Twenty_Ten site, but when someone clicks on the Register feature, they get the WordPress login page with the message: User registration is currently not allowed.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

I am working on a wordpress template page.

i am trying to retrieve a list of topic threads and filtering by tag.

I can get topics without tag filtering by using something like this

$forumargs = array(    'post_type' => 'topic', 'numberposts' => 15 );

$mytopics = new WP_Query( $forumargs );



while ( $mytopics->have_posts() ) : $mytopics->the_post();

the_title();

echo '<div class="entry-content">';

the_content();

echo '</div>';

endwhile;

but when i try to filter by tag , it returns nothing.

$forumargs = array( 'tag'=>'mytagname', 'post_type' => 'topic', 'numberposts' => 15 );

i have seen that there is something called tax_query, but i cannot figure out if i can use that, or how to use it.

how should this work?

[Jared Atchison]

There isn’t really an “easy” way to do it. What I would do:

1. Register new sidebar for this, named bbPress widget area or something similar.

2. Use bbPress hooks to place widget area in bbPress template places you desire

3. Place bbPress widget into the new widget area.

4. Enjoy.

You’ll need to have a the basic understanding of WordPress to do something like this probably, not sure how familiar you are with it.

[Jared Atchison]

That sucks. If theme was done properly to begin with it wouldn’t have these issues – instead theme authors junk them up with function that change how the WordPress output is expected.

Depending on what theme you are using, sadly the best way is going to be to start going through you theme and temporarily commenting out functions that filter and/or change how the content outputs.

it’s not ideal but its just the way it goes when you are dealing with themes like this.

[Jared Atchison]

Removing the sidebar on for bbPress pages is going to likely come down to editing whatever WordPress theme you are using, there’s really no way for bbPress to handle that since there are so many themes out there and they all do things differently.

[Jared Atchison]

No, there is not – at least not at the moment.

You can go through the bbPress plugins on the .org repo https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress

[Jared Atchison]

It can certainly be done but requires a moderate level of PHP and WordPress knowledge. It won’t be easy to do if you are not familiar with WordPress and PHP.

[raphaelsuzuki]

Ok.

In the forum page you created, try adding this shortcode: [bbp-forum-index]

It’s not the natural thing to do, but will force WordPress to display bbPress.

[Jared Atchison]

If you edit the topic in the WordPress admin dashboard, you will see the topic ID in the URL.

For example http://wptrunk/wp-admin/post.php?post=6&action=edit where the topic ID would be 6,

Dear Jaredatch,

Please read my first post, i would like to fetch RSS feeds to display in the sidebar of my BBPress forum and not the WordPress sidebar.

I’m using version 1.0.3

[Jared Atchison]

There is no need to bump your thread the within the same day of posting it.

There is an RSS widget built into WordPress, so I’m not sure I understand the problem – you should be able to just use it.

I have added a custom field to user profiles in bbPress however I am unsure how to do form validation other than javascript. I would like to do some PHP validation however the few things I have tried didn’t work.

If you fail to enter an email it will say “ERROR: Please enter an e-mail address.” after you have submitted the form. I want something like that.

I have tried:

$myErrors = new WP_Error();

$myErrors->add(‘id_error’, __(‘Test error.’,””));

bbp_add_error( ‘bbp_steamid_invalid’, __( ‘ERROR: The ID you entered is invalid.’, ‘bbpress’ ) );

I am not at all familiar with error handling in both WordPress and bbPress however I feel it is a must.

Any help would be must appreciated.

I just activated the bbpress plugin for my wordpress blog (i’m using latest version of wp and the twenty-ten theme).

I created a “test” forum with two topics.

I then created a new Page and titled it Forum.

I tried to get my test forum with two topics to show up on the new Page, but can’t get it to work.

I can see the Forum with two topics that I created when I click on View Forum button.

So, I guess my question is: How do I get a navlink titled Forum in my navbar and/or sidebar on my WordPress site?

What am I missing? I’ve searched all over with Google on this problem and can’t find the solution to my problem.

Here’s a little more info:

When I click on View Forum, and it looks great with the site’s theme here, the url is:

http://www.mydomain.com/forums/forum/test-forum/

When I click on the Page that I created called Forum, the url is:

http://www.mydomain.com/forums/

Thanks in advance for any help!

In WordPress, there is an opportunity to select the template for each page (dropdown on Edit Page and Edit Post pages).

bbPress forum root, forums, topics and replies are custom post types.

It would be good to see in bbPress the ability to set the default layout (wrapper) for each of these.

Dropdown (like the one on Edit Page page), wherein the admin can select the layouts from among the active theme’s layouts shall be ideal.

(I understand that if after this the admin decides to change the theme, (s)he will need to select the default layouts for bbPress custom posts again – just like (s)he needs to do so for normal pages and posts)

So, for instance, while the rest of my site may use 3-column (2-sidebar) layout, for forums, I may decide to go with a single-column layout.

hey Jon & Jim & JJJ & Jaredatch

did u manage to get something like https://bbpress.org/forums/ ?

what was shortcode or php code I can use to create it? My problem is that I can use it in the new page, but on custom homepage of my site – so I need php code (or wrapup php code with shortcode) that will display something like https://bbpress.org/forums/

your help is greatly appreciated!

– – – – – – – – – – – –

otherwise bbPress looks great and i’m looking forward to learn more about it and build some big website. previously i build websites with 750,000 visitors in drupal. but now trying to figure out myself how to use wordpress

[davidjeanneret]

Right – I rolled back the version on http://www.webay.me.uk where I’m moving the site from.

Then started doing all the updates to WordPress, themes and plugins one by one and checking if each update screwed it up.

Turns out it was the update to the theme (Desk Mess Mirrored) upon which I’ve created a child theme – totally messes over the forum base.

Any ideas why?

[davidjeanneret]

Hi there,

I’m just moving a site from standalone WordPress over to Multisite (not that I think that’s the issue)

Anyway the page generated by bbPress at my forum base is a bit messed up, see:

http://webay.hostingbydavid.co.uk/forums/

Also the page that you get to when you click on an author name is similarly messed up, see:

http://webay.hostingbydavid.co.uk/forums/users/david/

Any ideas why?

If I create a WordPress page with the shortcode to show the bbPress home, it that page will display nicely, but the bbPress breadcrumb will link to the Forum Base rather than my WordPress page.

Any clues how I can sort this out are greatly appreciated

This is all created and viewed whilst logged in as the Network Super Admin.

Cheers

David

Jim,

What I mainly wanted was a web page where the layout was similar to the bbpress.org forum and I wasn’t looking for the colours, etc, to look the same. I have found that a new theme isn’t required and instead I did the following:

1. Create a new page in wordpress

2. Create a layout using <DIV> tags and use bbPress shortcodes to specify where the forum components should sit

3. I then added CSS to the style.css of my WordPress child theme to control how the forum looked. For example, I didn’t want the forum navigation text or the text saying how many posts there are, etc, so I turned them off via CSS.

I’m not sure if that’s the best way to do what I wanted but once I “discovered” shortcodes this was all very simple and didn’t require a new theme or PHP changes, etc, so was fairly easy.

Let me know if you want any more details about what I did and I post them here.

Jon
