Hello,

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2047
As requested, I move the discussion here.

[fxsiteworks]

hi all,

wondering if anyone has had any issues with using bbpress with the wpml plugin?

whenever the wpml plugin is activated, the forum links in the sidebar menu of wordpress admin disappear. if you deactivate the plugin, they re-appear.

Ive also raised a ticket with wpml but though it cant hurt to check here too.

thanks in advance
Gerry

How can I select what page bbpress uses for it’s template? It’s currently using page.php and for whatever reason it’s not displaying anything except the description:
(have had to remove the link as it’s getting bombarded…)

If i remove page.php from my template then it works (I assume it’s reverting to using index.php)

can anyone help?

I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.2.2

Thanks,

David

Actually, ironically, and very anti-climatically, I found a plugin that handles all this.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-with-ajax/

Enable the registration checkbox in the widget, and you can use a widget to register. In plugin settings, you can set the post-registration landing page for each multisite site.

Biggest plugin donation, ever! (Well, from me at least).

I submitted a ticket to bbPress.trac.

I am using bbPress 2.2.2 on WordPress 3.4.2. My permalinks are set to /%category%/%postname%/ and bbPress base is default. Another words, I didn’t change any permalink structure in bbPress.

And I am see the issue on http://domain.com/forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

I cannot reproduce this, what versions of bbPress & WordPress are you using?

What are the permalinks?
– ‘TEST’ /forum/test/
– ‘FORUM’ /forum/test/forum/

Hi folks,

I’m using BBPress over at raisingharmony.com/forums/. It is a premium content area, meaning you can’t access the forum without proper login credentials. I would be happy to provide some if it would assist in troubleshooting. My trouble is that when people checkmark the checkbox that says, “Notify me of follow-up replies via email,” they aren’t getting the email.

Couple of notes:

(1) I’m using WordPress 3.4.2.
(2) I’m using BBPress 2.1.2.
(3) The PHP mail() function works just fine on the rest of the site.
(4) My only modification to the plugin is that in the /wp-content/plugins/forums/bb-includes/bbp-common-functions.php file, I’ve updated the bbp_check_for_floodI() function to return “True” every time, but this shouldn’t be affecting the email functionality in any way.

Just googling around and looking on this forum, it looks like other people have complained about this 13 months ago, but nobody ever posted an answer other than, “Cool, it’s working now.”

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Martyn Chamberlin

I hope this is what you are looking for:

Open your WordPress dashboard and go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Menus’ and under ‘Custom Links’ add a link to your forums eg. http://example.com/forums with a label ‘forums’ and click ‘Save Menu’

[John James Jacoby]

It’s Genesis that’s doing it. It automatically adds author data to all WordPress posts. @jaredatch has a Genesis compatibility plugin to help take care of some of these known behaviors.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks Michael, this will be fixed in the next release.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, could you please submit a new ticket over in trac with some details of your multisite setup and steps to reproduce this.

[Stephen Edgar]

Ooops! My bad. you will see the new ‘Change forum role to…’ feature once WordPress 3.5 is released.

Glad you got it sorted though.

[Theatreadmin]

HELP! I have been searching everywhere for help on how to do this, and I can’t seem to find anything that actually helps me. I have a forum made, but I really want it to show up in the navigation bar as a ‘page’ so the public can easily access it. I am using the ZeeStyle theme, WordPress 3.4.2, and bbPress 2.2.

I am pulling out my hair because I’ve been looking for days on how to do this and nothing has helped. If someone out there can help me, I will jump for joy and be extremely thankful!

Oh, and please try to give me the simplest way possible, because I am new at this website making thing!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

[royho]

Thanks for the reply however I don’t have such dropdown. The only dropdown I see is the default WordPress role dropdown and not one specific for bbPress.

[vdek]

Hi, I’ve done searching and couldn’t find anything related specifically to my issue with bbpress… I’m running the latest bbpress with WordPress 3.4.2 for my forum on my blog.

My forums are located here: http://wrtapps.com/forums/
The problem is the title of the forums page below the menu bar. It shows the title as “General discussion” which so happens to be the last forum page I saved in my dashboard. Previously it was showing the title as “Troubleshooting”… How do I change this to a custom title?

Thanks!

[frenzis73]

Widget and shortcode are not so “themable” like I would. WP_QUERY is right, but then I cannot use bbp_* in my file.

What I want is use every BBP Functions inside my, eg, single.php: show author, show forums, show topic simple calling bbp_**

How bbp_has_forums() works? It loads the functions ouside the BBP pages?

Regards, Francesco.

[fuzzybee]

Apologies that I sounded impatient and impolite.

I will do the CSS (and JavaScript?) tweaks myself.

Thanks!

See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2047

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a read of these three pages from the docs:

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

[Shane Gowland]

You can use the shortcode in the PHP template files with the do_shortcode() function.

echo do_shortcode('[bbp-topic-index]'); would do the trick.

Of course; there is a performance overhead involved with making WordPress parse the shortcode before displaying the content. Using WP_Query and creating a custom loop would be the ideal method, but it’s also much trickier.

[Shane Gowland]

In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings -> Permalinks and press the ‘Save Changes‘ button. (You don’t need to actually change anything, just re-save them)

I too am having problems

Ive installed bbpress2.2.2 onto my self hosted wordpress site and cant get the forum page integrated, I can use an url redirect but I need a sidebar to show user login/registration.

any assistance ?

[rsanchez1]

It will not override your front page. It will add new pages. When you install it, you can check the Forum Settings page to see the slugs for the pages it will add, and change them as necessary.

[blakeab84]

Also, will my current sidebar and header still be used/integrated with this?
