use this plugin add your PHP code snippets to it.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
they use the regular WordPress registration
which is http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register
or you can put the bbPress shortcode [bbp-register] into a page for a frontend form
here is the rest of the supplied shortcodes
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
if you have the slack interface up , go to the channels section and browse them til you find #bbpress
or you can go here
https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/bbpress/
Dear robkk thank you for your reply..
I just realize that the “to” field has the noreply address because the users addresses exists in the bcc field… maybe… I will investigate this one…
How can I get in contact with developers..?
I joined the “Making WordPress” team in slack but how can I join the bbPress team in slack?
Best regards
Andreas
Thank you so much, should this code be in the bbpress setting or the wordpress settings? thks
Problem solved it was a wordpress super cache, i for to deactivate that one
I’d like to edit my forum homepage to show the latest posts (much like this forum), as well as the main forum topics, but what is the name of the file actually controls the display of the forum homepage? I can’t believe I’m asking this, but I just can’t figure out where it is!
And are there conditionals you can use to target different pages – similar to wordpress is_home() is_archive() etc – and if so, is there a list of them somewhere?
Thanks for any help at all.
maybe this guide will help you with understanding.
Functions files and child themes – explained !
but you can also put any PHP code snippets in a functionality plugin like this one
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
bbPress doesnt have themes anymore , it just uses WordPress ones.
you can customize it yourself to look kind of like that though , either following this
codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/
or using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
you can also post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and hire a developer to develop this for you.
the plugin only affects the normal WordPress search i think so just use the normal WordPress search for your site.
and disable the forum search in settings > forums in the back-end of WordPress
but like i said before you would have to probably enable each post type to be in the regular WordPress search.
add this to your child themes functions.php or add it to a functionality plugin.
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );
when your done make sure you have search custom taxonomies in the search everything plugin settings maybe even the search every tag option too.
Robin – I think you may have misinterpreted my last response or maybe I worded it funny. My bbPress search function is not return results.
Take a look for yourself:
http://www.ohio-offroad.com/forums
Enter “Track” or “Trail” words that are used quite a bit. The only return you will get is my latest post which does not have these words. It does not return the 15 or so topics/replies that have this word.
My standard wordpress search works as it should but the forum search does not.
Hello all,
I need to import in mass members but from other sources. I have a csv file. I am under WordPress 4.1.1. and last version of bbPress. I thing that i’ve tried 10 plug in since since morning without success. The last i was hoping to save me is “buddypress members import”. I’ve bought it 5 hours ago and still not have any confirmation mail neither download link to test it. Please do you have any advice for me that i could import my members ? thank you very much in advance for any help. Ann
here is the list of all bbPress shortcodes
codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
you could develop/hire a developer to use something like this
<?php wp_get_current_user(); ?>
codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user
an alternative would be to use #3
codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/
Redirecting back to the default wordpress login pages is a common complaint , but there are better plugins that handle frontend authentication then the default bbPress ones , id say maybe use another plugin for frontend authentication.
other than that its not a total issue, those default WordPress login pages arent just for admins they are suppose to be used for all your users.
the default from name is wordpress , you can customize it with filters though.
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'your_email' );
function your_email( $original_email_address )
{
return 'your@email-address.com';
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from )
{
return 'Your sites name';
}
@2cats
my reccomendation would seem tiresome especially since you would have multiple users , an other suggestion i can provide is to post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and see if a developer can create something for you.
1. you can add a custom link to your forums in the menu section of your site.
2. Well since bbPress is a WordPress plugin most of the Content Management is done through the WordPress back-end. To manage the users in the back-end of WordPress you would have to go to users > all users. For them or you to edit their bbPress profile they could go to the front-end by defalt should be yoursite.com/forums/users/username/edit/.
to manage bbPress specific settings go to settings > forums in the back-end of WordPress.
if you need anymore help come back.
@teamoo
i think just like the standard WordPress search form the bbPress search form only searches title and content but only for bbPress custom post types (forums,topics,replies).
both searchforms arent that great by default but you could enhance it with this plugin
For a more enhanced searchform for bbPress ive seen users use this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/
i have also seen a site just use the google custom search engine provided by google to search through their site.
But to use this properly you would have to allow bbPress custom post types to be searchable in all your site search.
hmmm.. I have been playing with my car’s engine, and now it makes a funny sound – can you tell me what I have done wrong?
Sorry, I’ll try to help but hopefully my silly sentence above will help you understand why this might be difficult.
bbpress doesn’t have a theme, so do you mean you have been changing the bbpress plugin, or making changes to your wordpress theme?
Solved!
Deactivated Role Editor plugin.
Installed and activated Members plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
(Permissions changed with Role Editor remained.)
Added, for Author role, with Members plugin, the following permission:
read_hidden_forums
That seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps other people with the same problem while bbPress developers don’t fix the bug.
Hi,
I have downloaded and installed bbpress plugin and I have created a forum with multiple topics and replies from my wordpress dashboard. However, I am unable to do any of this from my forum page directly. I have looked in the common functions php file and can see that there is a filter for reverse proxies as i thought it might issue as I have seen this whilst searching posts for a solution. I am using Mamp and running server on port localhost:8888. Can anyone help me solve this issue please. My website is not public at the mo but i have tried to open the ports to my machine in the hope that you can access it. here is the url: http://88.107.65.111:8888/brighton-and-hove-school/wordpress3
Many thanks
Billy
Like Dropbox https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions
we would like to include a button at top right of forum page to post a question or idea.
Topic options would be provided as a dropdown list for the user to select from.
The user would provide title of question or idea and more details if required.
Title and topic would be required fields, more details would be optional.
Like this: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/new
Is this possible with shortcodes or can some tell me how to accomplish this. Our wordpress version 4.1.1 and bbPress version is 2.5.6
Thanking you in advance for any help
We would like to have our forum looking like https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions.
That is:
A link to view All Topics at the top of page for each Forum followed by
Links to Newest, Recommended and Following topics.
Can anyone tell me how to do this.
Wordpress version is 4.1.1 and bbPress is version 2.5.6
Thanking you in advance.
I use wordpress 4.1.1
bbpress 2.5.6
Yes, this is very strange.
I’ve placed the link for my forum and for my “test” topic below. I’ve been searching with the word “Wellsville” as that is unique to topic below. All it returns is the newest blog post which does not have Wellsville in it anywhere.
My standard search within WordPress works as it should. Should the bbPress search be limited to the forum? That would be good.

Good day house, please can anyone help me with this, i have created a forum using bbpress but when user click on register, the register page opens but once you fill your username and email, the wordpress admin page opens saying check your email for your password.
Please i don’t want the wordpress login page to show to my user when they subscribe to my forum and secondly when the password is being sent to the user via their email, the sender ID is wordpress, is there no way i can customize the sender to be my site name?
Thank you
