You can choose the order than forums appear in by giving them an Order value. I usually give mine order values like 10, 20, 30, 40 so that if I add another forum later I don’t have to reorder them I can just add order 25 to put it in between 2 existing forums.

I don’t think there’s an easy way to have forums change order by activity but if activity is important to you then you should consider having Latest Topics as your default view instead of categories (like https://bbpress.org/forums/).

I use a fairly easy.
I think the issues but did not give a parent forum.
The call with shortcodes and thread id.

Also add this in the theme functions, which deletes the search path, so that it is more beautiful

function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
// Home – default = true
$args[‘include_home’] = false;
// Forum root – default = true
$args[‘include_root’] = false;
// Current – default = true
$args[‘include_current’] = true;

return $args;
}

add_filter(‘bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args’, ‘mycustom_breadcrumb_options’ );

content.php seems like a weird place to be swapping an image, is this a header image or something?

From the way you’ve worded it I think maybe you need an if else statement around the specific image?

if( is_bbpress() ) {

// bbpress image

} else {

// default image

}

Is that the issue? If not, could you describe a bit more what you’re expecting to happen and what is happening instead please? It could also be that you actually need a BuddyPress if call rather than bb.

I have followed this guide http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

to create a child theme containing the default bbpress theme files. It appears in my wordpress admin CP themes but I don’t see how this lets me apply it to only the bbpress.

If I were to make it active it would retheme my entire wordpress site.

[niuserre]

The breadcrumb uses the default Forum Index even if you use a shortcode to display your forum so it will always link back to the automatically created Forum Index.

If you only need the shortcode method because of the template problem then let’s fix the template so you don’t need the shortcode.

From: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

On a plain vanilla install of bbPress using a “normal” wordpress theme, the plugin looks for the following templates from the active wordpress theme and “injects” the forum into (i guess) the first one it finds:

‘plugin-bbpress.php’,
‘bbpress.php’,
‘forums.php’,
‘forum.php’,
‘generic.php’,
‘page.php’

I’m guessing your theme doesn’t have one of those so bbPress appears to be using some kind of archive template.

You need to give bbPress a theme template to hook into. In your theme folder (or in a child theme if you want to do auto-updates with your theme) create a bbpress.php template, you can probably just create a duplicate of one of your theme templates and change its name.

Here’s my bbpress.php template: http://pastebin.com/ZquKQfmw (Adept is my theme name, hence @package Adept). I took my theme’s full width template and duplicated it, called it bbpress.php then changed the header information. bbPress will figure out the rest.

[Calimera]

Thanks for your answer,but which css,where i can found ? css of bbpress ? this ?

httpdocs / wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css ?

[niuserre]

I’m just a user but I think you need to create a new template in your theme (or child theme) directory called single-user.php

If you have that then the user profile page will use that template.

You can find an example of this template in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras

To do this I would:

1. Create a child theme of my current theme if I did not already have one.
2. Create a sub-folder in there called bbpress.
3. Copy the single-user.php file from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras into my new /themename/bbpress folder.
4. Edit the file.

This template also calls other parts from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bpress which you might also want to modify, in which case you would also copy some other files across for editing. I think it calls content-single-user.php which then calls user-details.php etc.

I told them about those titles a month ago and thought it would have been fixed by now. It’s a pretty serious problem if you rely on traffic from the search engines.

[Unit9]

Yep – I’ve just installed an old version of BBPress and it’s working – I’ve got a default forum again.

It’s also fixed the bug where page meta titles don’t work on WordPress blog posts.

[elpju]

This is exactly what I’m talking about. I also remember having a default forum in a previous version of the bbPress plugin, but this may just be wishful thinking.

[Unit9]

I’d like this too. For some reason there was a default in my previous bbpress site, but in the latest installation, I have ‘No Forum’ selected.

Any way we can change this?

[b a]

Okay it was wordpress default editor.
if you see source here, bbpress forums loads the same jQuery UI

[Stephen Edgar]

I see you have changed your permalinks to ‘Default’ http://127.0.0.1/?p=123 and it now works:

http://ccnb.co.kr/?topic=%ED%95%9C%EA%B8%80%EC%9D%84-%EC%9E%85%EB%A0%A5%ED%95%9C%EB%8B%A4
http://ccnb.co.kr/?topic=11123

I presume if you change them back to ‘Post name’ http://127.0.0.1/sample-post/ they do not work again?

http://ccnb.co.kr/forums/topic/%ED%95%9C%EA%B8%80%EC%9D%84-%EC%9E%85%EB%A0%A5%ED%95%9C%EB%8B%A4

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress blocks shortcodes by default.

You will need to use this plugin to setup ‘allowed’ shortcodes:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

[Darcy Peal]

For some reason the default font colour is set to light grey.
I also could not find anywhere to change it.

Help please!

[CraigM1970]

Okay, I managed to work this out for myself eventually. It was quite simple once I realised I was dealing with the Teeny version. Doh!

For anyone else who wants to add the Visual editor and also have it only paste plain text from Word etc. here’s how.

/*  Enable visual editor on tinymce in bbPress  */

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

/* Enable TinyMCE paste plugin */

function bbp_add_paste_plugin($args) {
  array_push($args,'paste');
  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'teeny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_add_paste_plugin');

/* Enable paste_sticky as default */

function bbp_myformatTinyMCE($in) {
	$in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
	$in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
   return $in;
}
add_filter('teeny_mce_before_init', 'bbp_myformatTinyMCE');

[Angel Candelaria]

Hi @lomyn.

On the bbPress install package, there should be a file called bbpress.css (under bbpress/templates/default/css). Just extract that file from the package, add the code at the end of the file, and copy it to your theme’s css directory.

[Button9]

I am also using Customizr and having the same problem plus some more. When I set the permalink to .forums it doesn’t matter what I write on the page the following strange text just shows (and no bbpress sidebar):

Forum

.
Search for: Välkommen! › Forum Forum Topics Posts Freshness 1. Grundutbildning 0 0 No Topics 2. Vidareutbildning 0 0 No Topics 3. Skoning 0 0 No Topics 4. Smide 0 0 No Topics 5. Hovsjukdomar 0 0 No Topics 6. Journalföring 0 0 No Topics 7. Övrigt 0 0 No Topics

If I change the permalink .forums to something else and write [bbp-forum-index] the forum shows up nicely but together with my default sidebar. I am using Instant WordPress to build my site locally and I know that there are some limits due to that, for instance I can’t write any posts in the forum. Maybe all these problems will be solved when going online?

[freshwater]

this worked for me. i have WP 3.6 and plug in BBpress. in WP go to Settings>Permalinks i changed from “Default” to “Post name” and now my links are working fine.

[CraigM1970]

Wordpress 3.6.1, bbPress 2.4, Buddypress1.8.1 Site is http://www.thedoctorwhoforum.com

I’m using the visual TinyMCE editor on my bbPress Forum pages and also on my normal WordPress blog pages.

Some users have issues with spans and other code being copied in when they paste. I have been able to stop the pasting issue on the blog comments with the following code which added the paste plugin to TinyMCE:

function myformatTinyMCE($in) {
	$in['plugins'] = 'inlinepopups, paste, wordpress, wplink, wpdialogs';
	$in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
	$in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
   return $in;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'myformatTinyMCE' );

However, it doesn’t affect TinyMCE on the Forums. They seem to be separate. I instigated the visual editor on the bbPress topics with the following code:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor($in) {
  $in['tinymce'] = true;
 return $in;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');

I’ve tried lots of different things, but I can’t seem to affect the bbPress TinyMCE the same way I can the blog TinyMCE.

For example, this didn’t work:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor($in) {
  $in['tinymce'] = true;
  $in['plugins'] = 'inlinepopups, paste, wordpress, wplink, wpdialogs, tabfocus';
  $in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
  $in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
 return $in;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');

Anybody any ideas how to add paste to the plugins and possibly add paste_text_sticky etc as well? I’m a bit new at this.

Thanks.

[benjito]

I seem to have the opposite problem to everyone else and i can’t get the “bbPress WP Tweaks” forum sidebar to display instead of the default one. (yes i have reset permalinks, yes i have added widgets to the sidebar).

Every forum page continues to just show the default sidebar.

I am using the Customizr theme and suspect this may be the issue? Can anyone suggest anything else obvious i may be missing?

I also have a separate issue with the “forums” landing page which may be linked.

[BuckyOHare]

I figured out how to do this and more, unfortunately I have found little documentation about using the extras folder in the BBPress template files and how really wonderful they are for advanced customization without the use of additional hooks.

EXTRAS Folder located at:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras

To increase the amount of items you can customize in your bbpress theme, copy pages from out of here and paste them into the folder:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

In this case I needed to customize the individual topic page titles so I copied single-topic.php from out the extras folder pasted it into the bbpress folder. Then I opened up my theme’s page.php file and compared which style, entry-content, and container tags needed to be pasted into the single-topic.php page. I then exchanged bbp_topic_title() for bbp_forum_title() and styled it with my default WordPress styling tags and placed the topic title below it in a smaller more reasonable font than my site’s default .entry-title style.

The end result is the topic page displaying the forum name up at the top in the site-standard page styling with the topic title below it in a smaller reasonable font, as topics are generally WAY LONGER and should not be styled with the site’s main title styles by default.

[BuckyOHare]

The problem is topics tend to be much longer than forum names or general pages on my wordpress site and need to be styled differently than a default .entry-title css. I imagine this could be done with a filter or by altering a core file of bbpress. I don’t know how to create a specific filter for this job though.

If I can’t do that then I’d like to be able to at least not display the topic title on the topic page but I can’t seem to differentiate .entry-title css from any bbpress specific page title attributes and end up just altering all wordpress page titles in the process.

[Kaliceos]

In my test install with default theme, I don’t see any div in replies, only paragraphs. So I guess it’s true 😉

[Haris Zulfiqar]

This has been a long standing issue.

The problem here is that, in the user profile favorites page, only topics that are created by the user and marked as favorite shows up. Any topic that is not created by the user and marked as favorite will not show up in user profile page.

Is this by design or is this a bug?

I am using WordPress default theme with only bbPress plugin.
