Kindly help me. How to filter the topic using the custom fields.
I have created the custom fields using the GD Custom posts and taxonomy tools. I need to filter. I have followed this step but its not working.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I used Theme test drive plugin and found out:
TinyMCE works on Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve WP themes, but I can only use the “text” tab buttons. In fact there’s no “visual” tab at all.
When I switch back to WildCommunity (my current theme), I see this blank area with no buttons at all. Visual and text tabs are useless.
By the way I can type inside the blank box but text is white and I need to select (highlight) it to see what I wrote. If i hit “post” I’m perfectly able to post a topic. Text and links look fine. No problem. Now THAT is weird!
Any clue?
I have seriously looked everywhere and I am not sure what else to do. I am somewhat a noob to bbPress but not at all to the wordpress way of things. Iam a freelance developer. For the life of my I cannot find how to remove the subscription link from the pagination. The best I could do was float it to the right of the page, I do not want to display:none it because I want it show on replies. If anyone knows where I can remove this I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

PS here is a link to where I would like it removed:

Oh, WP 3.8.2 and BBPress 2.5.3, thanks!
Thank you, where do I insert this code though. I’m new to this whole wordpress thing.
For the topics archive showing all topics, you can use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] on a normal WordPress page.
“All replies” is slightly different. You could use the Recent Replies widget (https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/) if you had a page with a widget for the content but if you wanted a proper archive page, I think you’d have to make a new template for it. I think it’s one of those things that if enough people ask for it, it might get prioritised for future versions but that’s just a guess. If you are comfortable making page templates, I can post how I did a “latest posts” page (posts = new topics + replies).
I’m not sure what part of the menu you mean, I’m sorry. Do you mean how “support” (with a link to /forums) is highlighted above even when you’re on a topic page? They use a custom nav file:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-nav.php
If I were trying to replicate that, I would use jQuery to add the current-menu-item class to the top forums list item – not that it’s is the right way to do it, it would just be the easiest for me to do and to maintain. You’d need to add it to a javascript file in your template or make one and then include it. If you’re interested, I can post that code – you will need to add a custom class to your forums menu item too.
Sorry, I know that wasn’t too terribly helpful!
I want to keep my menu navigation to present that they’re under the current page(menu), but bbpress doesn’t keep highlight on the menu to show the state when they go to individual topic or reply page.
I would have wished that bbpress topic or reply would have a WordPress Template page to be linked like as a normal wordpress sub-pages so that I don’t need any workaround in the first place. In other words, all the bbpress topics or replies must be only displayed on the page that admin users created.
created WP page slug: forums -> topics (all topics here) -> replies (all replies here)
Anyway for now, how can I make the menu like this site?
This is community software – why not get involved and crack open the plugin, see what it does and add it to the core bbpress software
To get started and learn about how to create a patch that is in the format we use here (and the entire WordPress Trac ecosystem) here are a couple of docs to get you on your way:

bbPress’ SVN repo URL is https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk
Everything was working fine few days ago. But from yesterday any topics i create or my members doesn’t go under forum. I tried again and again but no luck. I upgraded my wordpress to 3.8.2 and installed nextscript snap plugin couple of days ago. I tried deactivating snap, but that doesn’t solve the issue. I’m not sure what to do now, i asked few of my buddies, their bbpress is working fine with with wordpress 3.8.2, any suggestions are appreciated.
Wordpress Version: 3.8.2
BBpress Version: 2.5.3
Forum Link: http://www.nullnix.org/chat-boards/
From bbPress.org:
bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true, 'size' => 100 ) );
To set a good expectation, these forums move relatively slowly. If you’re anxious about replies to this topic, tick the “Notify me” box and you’ll get an email when someone replies without the need to bump the topic.
WP Symposium, so still for WordPress
@oldkcole you have moved to a different type of forum as in outside WordPress [scary thought…] ?
@a42 I have decided to move to a different type of forum as I have realised by reading past threads that questions and issues raised are not well addressed, and in some cases not answered at all. I assume bbPress needs to updated to be compatible to the new version of WordPress.
@vinaunder It is going blank due to the plugin causing issues with the new version of WordPress. Go to your FTP manager, and save the plugin on your computer and then delete the plugin on ther server. You will be able to login into the dashboard. That was my issue in any case…
I have the same problem, though it happened after I updated WordPress to 3.8.2.
I would like users to be able to create a topic inside the applications forum, once the topic is published only the user who made it and admins can view it.
After some more searching I’ve found;
http://codecanyon.net/item/bbpress-private-content-wordpress-plugin/6390878
This is essentially what I would like but to do, but would have it auto enabled inside the applications forum.
Start here https://codex.wordpress.org/Editor_Style
Then here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_editor_style
There are also quite a few WordPress plugins that will do the ‘PHP’ part for you, creating the correct functions and the like and you then just add the CSS you want.
Hey guys, I’m going to be changing the bbPress editor color scheme to work with a dark theme, and I’d like to know where the correct place is to do this? Where is the original css for the editor? Where would I put the “child” css? (if it’s different than the css folder in my theme)
I’ve been searching the forums, ‘net and files and can’t find it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m using the most recent versions of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress.
Hi, i have recently been put in charge of fixing a website and i wanted to add a forum, bbpress seems perfect. So i get to installation, it goes through fine. But after installation, there is nothing that shows that i have it installed, the only indication is that is in my installed plugins. There is no place were i can insert the forum into my site or even view any options for it… Please help 🙂
I am using v. 3.8.1 wordpress and bbPress v. 2.5.3
Hello,
I’m working on re configuring an existing site that has a WP blog and a BBPress forum. One of the changes I’m doing, is making replacing our existing CMS with WordPress. I’ve changed permalinks to ‘Post name’, great.
The problem come in now that I’m trying to create a new WordPress page with the name ‘page_name’ with the url “http://www.mysite.com/page_name” however, there is a forum with the name ‘page_name’ already with a url of ‘http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum/page_name’ that seems to be consuming the permalink that I am trying to set for the page.
Is there anyway to configure BBPress to not consume the ‘/page_name’ permalink when it’s URL is ‘/forums/forum/page_name’
I would like the ability to make topics in a certain forum only visible by their author and the moderators.
I have been messing around with;
http://wordpress.org/plugins/members
http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions
but cant seem to get them to function properly for topics. If anyone knows a way to do this I would love to know.
Hi,
I think I have some theme compatibility issues with my freshly installed bbPress. I’ve just installed bbPress to my new WordPress site, and when I’m trying to open the forum index page, it will show only a mostly blank page with my theme’s top menu. However, the title of the page and the body part of the HTML source seems to be OK – my body tag looks like this:
<body class="forum bbpress single single-forum postid-30 logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support">
I’ve tried to use [bbp-forum-index] shortcode in a page, and it shows the index, but of course I can’t use the forum in this way neither, since if I try to navigate to one of my forum topics, it will also show the blank page.
I’m using Academica theme (the free one), but I’ve found a solution for an other theme (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/) and it seems that fixing my issue would evoke some PHP coding, which I’m not so familiar with. So if you have some tips or solutions, share with me, I’d be very thankful. 🙂
Thanks in advance! 🙂
Ohh, and here is the link to my only forum: http://homeschooling.hu/?forum=probaforum
…and to the page with the shortcode: http://homeschooling.hu/?p=38
ok, you have several routes to go
If you think you will be making other changes, then it may be worth you reading this
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2
but if you just want to get this going then download this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/
and then put this code into it
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
color: blue !important ;
}
a:link {
color: blue !important ;
}
Obviously you can change the blue to whatever, or use hex codes to get any shade you like

Come back if that doesn’t work, and I’ll try to help further
I also search for the solution for a while. I have not found any real “group” solution directly for bbPress. However, I came up with couple other solutions. I list them below in case others need them:
1. Use BuddyPress: BP is for group management with much more functions. It works great with bbPress (prob same development team). BuddyPress group users management is quite powerful. There are 3 levels of group: public, private & hidden, and 3 level of user role for group: admin, mod, member. I also suggest to add Invite Anyone plugin, so group member can invite others without “friends” limitation.
2. Use Membership from wpmuDev. This solution is similar to s2member. You can control every piece of accessibility on your site through user subscription. The subscription can be set to free. But it’s a bit too complicated for just one simple purpose.
I’m a bit baffled as to why this 3 month old ticket is sitting here all lonely:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2498
bbPress.org and buddypress.org both have this functionality so the devs already have this one figured out. Right?
There’s also this plugin which provides the same functionality:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/
which can be integrated into core following the wordpress development model of features as plugins.
Unless I’m off my rocker again, and missing something… in which case please take pity on me and set me straight!
