</div>

This the default site of my bbpress forums:

http://localhost/mysite/forums/

And I try to make page for forum using the short code [bbp-topic-index] :

this is the link:

http://localhost/mysite/forum/

and I try to edit this code above:

}else if(is_page('forum')){

/* Forum Page */

echo '<h1 class="page_title">';

echo 'Forum Support';

echo '</h1>';

echo '<h2 class="page_blurb">';

echo 'Press community';

echo '</h2>';

and it works fine only in page (forum) http://localhost/mysite/forum/

but when I click all the the content in the forums my Title and Blurb has gone.

WHat I want to do is my sub header page title and page blurb will appear in any page in forums.

ANYONE knows how to fix this or how to add code?

I’m just a beginners in wordpress

your reply is much appreciated,

Thank’s

Is there a way to allow my forum users to flag inappropriate posts and notify the admin? I am using WordPress 3.3.1 and the bbpress 2.0 plugin for WordPress.

Thanks!

[jamieskella]

I just can’t grasp why it’s working in WordPress and not bbPress. I’ve disabled the fancy editor and it still doesn’t work.

Any further ideas, jjj?

[tilly2012]

I installed bbpress as a plugin to my wordpress site. I can see that it’s there on my dashboard. I can create topics from my dashboard. I can even view a “PREVIEW” and it shows me the thread on my site with a certain url. ex: http://www.website/?forums

But that’s it!

I can’t access my forums from my website! I can’t see them! I don’t even know where they are!!!

HELP PLEASE!

[thetalltree]

Thanks John for the heads up. This is what I did:

1.) Open Wp-includes > kses.php

2.) Find the following:

$allowedtags = array(

‘a’ => array(

‘href’ => array (),

‘title’ => array ()),

‘abbr’ => array(

‘title’ => array ()),

3.) Remove:

‘a’ => array(

‘href’ => array (),

‘title’ => array ()),

I tried adding // but it does not work, so I removed the tag.

Not sure if what I have done is the right method, but it seems to work.

Yes. If you want to have tons of private and hidden forums, you’ll want to look into optimizing the core queries to not rely on meta queries. If you’re using public forums, you should be just fine.

If you’re currently using a caching plugin on the WordPress side, or thinking of doing it, some people have reported cache invalidation issues, namely that it’s not happening correctly. I need more eyes and input on that, or need to sit down and really experiment with what’s going on, to say for sure if it’s a bug or not.

[BlinkyBill01]

Howdy, again.

When I installed bbPress, I installed it as a plugin into BuddyPress/Wordpress. I really didn’t do much to edit it but I never ran across an Admin Panel for the bbPress plugin.

The only place that I see anything related to bbPress is in my WordPress Dashboard Settings > Forums.

I’m trying to set a theme for my bbPress and have no idea how to through the WordPress/BuddyPress integration.

[jamieskella]

Just to confirm, it does work in WordPress posts and comments.

[jamieskella]

I have auto-embed enabled in WordPress Media options, and in the Forum options, yet links are still not converted: http://pantheones.com.au/forums/topic/media-test/

Can anyone help?

[Jared Atchison]

No problem.

Go here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2

At the bottom you’ll see Download in other formats: Zip Archive (just click that).

You can go through all the releases at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

[glrberg]

I’m sure this is a stupid question, but I’ve tried and can’t seem to find an answer to is.

I have bbPress installed on a Genesis/Education theme. People can leave comments and I can moderate them. However, I can’t seem to find a list of the users anywhere.

I expected to find them under settings in the back end of the WordPress system, but they aren’t there.

Sorry to waste your time on this, but I haven’t been able to figure it out after quite a bit of research.

Did I miss something really simple in the install?

Thanks

[Jimfire]

Yeah, I’m getting that impression.

Can I make a theme for just bbPress without effecting my WordPress theme?

[tilly2012]

I installed bbpress for my wordpress site. (Organic Themes if it makes a difference) Then I saw this message:

Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

I don’t even know what that means and what to do.

Secondly, while I can locate “forums” on the left side of my dashboard and even preview when I make a thread I can not locate it in my website. I even create a new page titled “forums” thinking that would do the trick, but nothing. What should i do?

[Jimfire]

My original question was this: I have BBP 2.x. When my users click on “Forum” on my menu, I would like it to look like THIS forum that I am on right now.

I’m not a php coder and I haven’t figuered out how to make a theme just yet. I’ve only been at this for a little while.

I’m working on it, but I’m not there yet.

I’m running twenty-eleven with my WordPress right now. Does anyone know a painless way to get my BBPress to look like bbpress.org when my users click on it?

Tanks,

JIM

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t really understand the question. If you want to make a theme that looks like another theme, you make it. If you don’t know how to, you either learn how and hopefully contribute what you learn back to the community via the codex or forums, or you hire someone that already knows how to do what you do not know how to do.

Maybe I’m missing the point. I get that the documentation isn’t great right now, but it’s exactly the same as making a WordPress theme. The template files and their locations are already in the bbp-twentyten theme as an example.

Making an entirely custom theme is *not* a step-by-step paint-by-numbers thing. It’s not something anyone can teach you how to do, you have to learn it yourself.

[Jared Atchison]

jjj will respond when he has a chance, but I’ll say he does 3 different jobs so he doesn’t always have time to respond right away.

He is an Automattic employee where his full time role is head of “social”. bbPress and BuddyPress are his other projects that he does on the side.

I encourage you, when you have time, to listen to a recent interview with jjj http://wpcandy.com/broadcasts/community-interviews/002-john-james-jacoby – you’ll get an idea of just how much work he has on his plate – frankly I don’t know how he does it.

Both bbPress and BuddyPress are maintained by volunteers like jjj and myself. We contribute and help out as much as possible, but ultimately projects that “pay the bills” come first.

I’ll let jjj give his point of view, but I can tell you with 99% certainty that there is no easy way to make bbPress 2.x look like bbPress.org – they are simply two completely different platforms. bbPress 2.x was a total rewrite of bbPress, from the ground up, so that bbPress could be a plugin instead of a stand alone install.

And yes, when bbPress.org is upgraded – whenever that time comes – it will adopt the new bbPress 2.x look. I understand that some people like the 1.x look better however that all comes down to personal preference – personally I like the 2.x look but that’s my preference.

Googling for bbPress themes and plugins is hit or miss but is going almost be a miss if you are using 2.x. It’s been out only a year, so the vast majority of what you find is going to be for 1.x. Recently there has been quite a few nice plugins popping up that are for 2.x – you can find these in the WordPress.org plugin repository

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress

bbPress is actually quite well documented, however right now most of the documentation is in the actual code. Writing up documentation takes a lot of time and effort – WordPress.org codex is a perfect example – it’s fantastic but it is also maintained by 100s of contributors.

I’m sure jjj could spend some time writing documentation, but then none of the bugs that come in would be addressed in a timely manner, none of the features that people are constantly asking for would ever get written. Every comes down to volunteers – we just don’t have enough. Anyone with a user account can write and contribute documentation for bbPress so i think it’s unfair to expect jjj to do that on top of the dozens of other things he already does.

I do know that when 2.1 is released, which should be fairly soon, we are going to add some stuff to the bbP codex, however it’s night going to be something that appears overnight.

I’m not sure what you mean by “better standard theme” – the theme that ships with bbPress 2.x works well – the one that ships with the upcoming 2.1 is even better. Logistically it’s impossible to ship with a bbPress theme that fits everyones needs and works with all WordPress theme, but we try to make it as compatible as possible.

bbPress does a lot of great things “out of the box”. However it comes to a point that when certain customizations are needed you are either going to have to get your hands dirty with code or hire a developer to assist you – and that’s just the nature of the beast – for any open source project.

If you are looking for a forum application that has 100s of contributors, many of which focus on the project full time, then unfortunately bbPress may not be the best fit for you. Vanilla, phpBB, along with others are some great alternatives.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress uses WordPress’s user profiles code, so any new fields you add to the dashboard profile (with a plugin or otherwise) should be mirrored in the theme. If you need an easy GUI to create profile fields, try BuddyPress.

There are a bunch of examples on how to do this with WordPress. Follow those instructions and you should be fine.

[John James Jacoby]

To answer your question, you’ll need to put a custom filter on WordPress’s kses. A Google search should help you tremendously. If you’re not a developer or not comfortable diving into the code, you’ll want to spend some time learning, or hire someone to help you.

[Aahan Krish]

I just installed bbPress 2.0.2 forum plugin for WordPress, and would like to change the text of link Home to iGeek (or anything else, for that matter).

So the breadcrumb Home › Forums becomes iGeek › Forums (or something like that). How do I do that?

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress 2.x = WordPress plugin.

bbPress 1.x and 0.9 = Stand alone installs.

bbPress.org will eventually (hopefully sooner than later!) be upgraded to 2.x as well.

[dorsetjon]

Thanks, I’ll have a look at themes.

I know my way around wordpress and was confident I could accomplish something with bbpress but am rapidly losing faith given the lack of documentation and examples for bbpress!!

Given how good the bbpress site looks, if that is done with a theme then it would be a good idea to make that theme (or similar) available. Even better if bbpress used something impressive “out of the box”.

I’m off to find some themes…

[Aahan Krish]

Yeah. Jon, I am a newbie too, but since I know my way through wordpress, I am confident that I can accomplish something with bbpress.

That’s exactly what I am talking about. Search for bbpress themes. You might end up finding something with features closer to what you mentioned or better.

Any theme that looks better than the default bbpress theme will make you happy for the time being, until you know your way around bbpress.

That’s a starting point. Enable the new theme, start changing the look with CSS, make it look your way. That’s what I was suggesting. Sorry if I didnt catch your point still.

[Aahan Krish]

@thetalltree : Take a look at the forum index of bbpress.org, and you’ll notice that there are at least 2 spam posts. SPAM! And what’s even more alarming is that they are still there!

Take my advise, ask elsewhere. (Try asking on wordpress.stackexchange.com)

My $0.02!

[tilly2012]

I downloaded the bbpress plugin for wordpress. Now I’m receiving this message: Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

How do I fix this?

[Rambomst]

I am having an issue getting custom profile fields to work.

I have used the following code as a wordpress plugin and a bbPress plugin:

function set_my_profile_info_keys($myarray) {

$myarray = array(

‘testfield’ => array(0, __(‘TestField’))

);

return $myarray;

}

add_filter(‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘set_my_profile_info_keys’);

However this doesn’t show the field on a users profile to allow them to edit it. I have also tried other variations of this code I have found on this forum and others but to no avail.

Any help getting this working would be much appreciated.
