I am going to create a widget that shows local events, which are sorted by the date of the events. So I need to sort the topics by topic names but not by when I publish it, for example
[8/22/2014]event1…
[8/25/2015]event2…
[8/26/2014]event3…

But right now there is no this kind of choice for BBPress recent topic widget.
This can be done in wordpress post widget, but I prefer to use BBPress to publish this kind of Events.

I don’t know how to get the wordpress version, but I have the version number for BBPress, which is Version 2.5.4
My website is http://www.ezthelife.com/
Please see the second column on the top, that is what I want, but it is wordpress post widget not BBPress topic widget .

Please help me, thanks a lot.

I have a weird bug going on with my Static Homepage.

We are using the plugin called Store Locator (http://wordpress.org/plugins/store-locator-le/) to show office locations. It’s a fairly simple plugin called by a shortcode in a page to display a map and list of offices.

When I installed bbPress in addition to this Store Locator plugin, my static homepage was no longer working and my homepage reverted to a generic list of recent posts. (The static page was set in all settings correctly).

This happens on every theme, including twentyfourteen, only when both plugins are activated at the same time.

Is there any hook or reason that these two plugins would affect the static homepage?

Thank you!

So basically on the forum, when someone clicks edit my profile at the top of the page, it goes to the backend. Even though, it would be preferable to go to the front end.

I would not let users see the toolbar, this is really just for admins.

You need to disable the toolbar – add this to your functions file

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

then put the profile into your menu

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Thanks Stephen Edgar for the help, in request by him, I am posting this here and starting this new topic:

disable front end editing

So basically on the forum, when someone clicks edit my profile at the top of the page, it goes to the backend. Even though, it would be preferable to go to the front end. Currently, the only way a user can go to the front end is by clicking their name next to a post or in a topic/replies sequence.

I am using the mesocolumn theme and am new to wordpress. site: http://www.astronomertalk.com

I also moved template-full-width.php, to my child theme, and called it bbpress.php. After doing this, nothing has changed except now the forum specific sidebar, that came with the theme, does not show up.

Source code from bbpress.php:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Full Width
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_content' ); ?>
<!-- CONTENT START -->
<div class="content full-width">
<div class="content-inner">

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_blog_home' ); ?>

<!-- POST ENTRY -->
<div id="post-entry">
<section class="post-entry-inner">

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<article <?php post_class('post-single page-single'); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<h1 class="post-title entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<div class="post-content">
<div class="entry-content"><?php the_content( __('...Continue reading', TEMPLATE_DOMAIN) ); ?></div>
<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div id="page-links">&after=</div>'); ?>

</div><!-- POST CONTENT END -->

</article>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'lib/templates/result' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</section>
</div>
<!-- POST ENTRY END -->

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_home' ); ?>

</div><!-- CONTENT INNER END -->
</div><!-- CONTENT END -->

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_content' ); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thank You,
JB

This is the HiddenCity website that I want to rebuild completely in WordPress/bbPress.
http://ecopsi.org/

This is plain a vanilla copy of Twenty Ten theme modified with the bbPress forum plugin.
http://ecopsi.org/journal/

I started out with html/css/javascript to skin the domain it’s loaded on. With WordPress added on a few years later and the bbPress added last year. To say the least I am not happy with the result. My work is conceptually flawed and poorly executed. The only good thing is that I learned a lot about WordPress and bbPress.

With the 2015 presentation of a rebuilt HiddenCity website I intend to adopt the style of Montezuma theme while keeping the data and livery (colors and logo). The following link is an example of how I want the prototype bbPress forums on my personal site to look except with the Montezuma theme. After I’ve got it worked out on my personal site I’ll use what I’ve learned to upgrade the HiddenCity site.
http://cultivators-forum.com/forum/growers-forums/

This is the only part that I’m not sure is possible. I want to make the following modifications.

• forum topic to be the posts
• categories to be forums
• comments are replace by replies to the post

In this case the the beginning of the last three or four replies showing with the topic again which appears as a post. The unregistered User can only see a static page and a forum for newcomers. I shouldn’t have to do anything to the Montezuma theme aside from the mods needed to make WordPress/bbPress execute the list above and tweak its colors to match the corporate livery of The HiddenCity Foundation.

Thank you.

PS — I don’t mind compensating someone for their time and attention in order to get this done.

Hi folks,
As you all know, the plugin bbP Signature received it’s last update almost two years ago. I’m not actively updating the plugin, though I recently stumbled upon a WordPress mailing list thread regarding abandoned plugins, and I thought of writing this post.

If any of you guys are looking forward to contribute to the plugin, I can provide you with commit access, so that the plugin is live.

The source is also available on GitHub, so you can even make pull requests.

Hi, How do I make my forum fill the entire page? Right now it only covers around 50%. I have used widget logic to hide all the widgets and I have also done some research on this and tried editing the bbpress.css file but nothing works. Any help is much appreciated.

Heres a link to the page with the problem

WordPress 3.9.2
bbPress 2.5.4

Don’t use bbPress login widgets or shortcodes then, use whatever is supplying that form instead, essentially we are all just piggy backing the standard WordPress login form.

[Stephen Edgar]

Download and install the bbPress Genesis plugin, that should fix things for you.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[Stephen Edgar]

First up, a clarification on what you are calling posts; are you inferring users in the back end editing WordPress blog posts? That is sort of how your last reply reads to me. bbPress uses Forums, Topics and Replies and it can get confusing if these terms aren’t explicitly used at times 😉

When in the back end and you try to restore a trashed topic by clicking restore indeed you will see that error, it’s a know issue and will be fixed in the next release. The workaround is to use the “bulk actions” and select the checkbox next to the topic or topics to restore, select “restore” from the bulk action drop down and click apply.

If you are seeing that error in the font end it shouldn’t be doing that and should work as expected when restoring topics.

Either/or try the same again with a new admin/key master user and see if you can still replicate the issue.

Hi
I am using the latest wordpress and bbpress
i have my own login form, (for people to upload images to their portfolios) how do i synchronise bbpress with that form rather than having to have 2 login forms which seems silly
Thank you in advance

I am attempting to use the shortcode [bbp-forum-form] to allow users (keymasters) to be able to add new forums as needed. I set up a new page and added this shortcode. The page looks great and the shortcode pulls up the form to add a new forum (as desired). However, when I test it by filling out this form and clicking submit, nothing seems to happen. The page does seem to refresh but a new forum is not added.

Am I missing something? I am new to bbpress so perhaps I just missed a setting somewhere? I am running the latest version of WordPress (3.9.2) and bbPress 2.5.4. My site URL is http://wwcustomercare.azurewebsites.net.

Thank you in advance for your help!
Lora

[Robin W]

you’d do better to just steal the replies widget I wrote for private groups

download

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

and then open up and edit

includes/pg_forum_widgets.php

line 464 onwards has the replies widget, I’m pretty sure that lines 539 to 542

//PRIVATE GROUPS Get an array of IDs which the current user has permissions to view
        $allowed_posts = private_groups_get_permitted_post_ids(new WP_Query($query_data));
        // The default forum query with allowed forum ids array added
        $query_data['post__in'] = $allowed_posts;

is all that’s added to the orginal code, so remove those lines.

and line 574 contains the size

you can just fork all that to the end of the file into your functions file

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you have registration enabled?

WordPress -> Settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php)

Membership Membership Anyone can register

A link to your site or some screenshots would also be helpful…

Just wondering what the future of bbPress holds?

i wanna bring a cooler look to it. or a bunch of ideas to add on to the look.

as for bbpress community i hope more people help out.

BuddyPress is a far more popular plugin than bbPress, more people those days need community functionality attached to their WordPress sites than support forums

forums arent for everyone

if you look at the bbPress trac it say 64 closed tickets for a very long time.

they can take their time. also i bet more bbpress core developers wouldnt be a bad thing and also just help on trac topics are cool too.

[Robkk]

I posted the same question on the WP Support Forum, after the reply from Robkk, no response at all so far…

no you have a reply

you havent responded yet though…

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-wordpress-installation-mess-up-my-existing-website

Is there anyone who could tell me how can I change(add) a site header img for the theme twenty twelve specifically?

you should take that , or anything else about twenty twelve to twenty twelve theme support

https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentytwelve

[Robin W]

yes it should be as bbpress just uses wp_query once args has been parsed.

see

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query dates are quite a way down

untested but something like

$week = date( 'W' );
$year = date( 'Y' );
bbp_has_topics( array( 'year' => $year, '&w' => $week ) );

would do last 5 days

[Stephen Edgar]

Ahhh… Now I’m looking at the theme…. <- That part of your previous post I inferred you were ‘looking’ at your theme and had found ‘something’ that a change you made had reverted the bad behaviour.

I’m still seeing the page so that makes two times more than the past few days, it ‘could’ be just one of those things that by deactivating one of those plugins and then reactivating it again has fixed whatever, rare, but has been known to happen in the WordPress plugin world!

Hi,
I am using BB press 2.5.4-5380 in WordPress 3.9.2. The running theme is SCRN 2.1. My problem is that since last 1 month or so, any new topic that is created does not show the content of the new post (topic), just the topic title. All other replies to that can be seen, however.
At the backend everything is visible but at the front end the problem remains. I tried updating the theme but it did not help, tried removing the associated plugins like bbPress Email Notifications, GD bbPress Attachments but that too did not help.
Since I am relatively new to WordPress and know little of html programming, please help me accrodingly.
Thanks

bbPress is a WordPress plugin thus bbPress uses WordPress for it’s users.

You can use bbPress shortcodes or widgets depending on your site structure so uses do not need to go near or even see the backend of WordPress:

[Robkk]

Can I have my own user registration process?

if you mean moving the registration form to the front end by using a plugin like theme my login then yes

theme my login

https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

[Robkk]

they register through your wordpress site through the wordpress registration

The search function on the forum does not work, it just redirects to my homepage with no results.
It would be nice to have all search integrated into the main search function of wordpress, but the only plugin I can find hasn’t been updated since 2011.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m working on adding this to the next release of bbPress https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2589

[omg123]

thanks

that was very helpfull
