I’ve got almost the same problem as @Anointed here, no before and after option..

Sorry to say but this is typically WordPress development they output Page navigations in < .a href's.. just one after the other and you can only hope there is enough classes to list and style them properly.

I found this problem with WordPress the first time when i tried to apply Twitter's Bootstrap Page navigation to a WordPress theme.
This is how a page-navigation should look like anno 2012 in default HTML. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#pagination

not like this..

        <a href="#">page 1</a>
        <a href="#">page 2</a>
        <a href="#">page 3</a>

1) Create a bbpress.php file in the root directory of your theme (or archive-forum.php).

2) bbPress is a plugin and so every single function that are include()d are automatically available on the global scope. Take a look at the bbpress() function.

3) By testing. bbPress isn’t obtrusive and at 99% it will not raise problems.

It has been a week now.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this?

[Charly_ZA]

Thanks for the help but isn’t that just creating a link to the forums in the navigation bar? Is there a way to treat it like a page? Simple press does it like that. I don’t like simple press and I want to change to bbpress. I have it installed on my website at tbolmc.com/wordpress.

Hi everyone.

I’m developing a web site with multilingual support, using WordPress 3.4.2 and the Polylang plugin 0.9.4 . I’d love to add a forum to the site, so I downloaded, installed and activated bbPress 2.1.2 .

The first problem was that bbPress didn’t switch from one language to another, always keeping the default WordPress language. I solved this calling again bbpress()->load_textdomain() before loading the header template:

function cbp_bbPressTranslate(){
bpress()->load_textdomain();
}
add_action('get_header','cbp_bbPressTranslate');

This worked great, but soon other problem appeared. If topics and replies doesn’t have translations, they doesn’t show up. I can add translation posts for they from the admin panel, but of course my users can’t. I’ve isolated the problem to the Polylang plugin: switching back to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivating all plugins but Polylang didn’t do anything. Deactivating Polylang showed the topics again.

I’ve tried other multilingual plugins like xili-language, which works great with bbPress, but lacks of customizing menus panel, wich I need on my site.

Anyone can help me? Encouraging words will be welcomed too! 😀

I’m using the bbpress Login Widget in my sidebar but I’d like to move it to the top of the page outside of the main content area. I was thinking something similar to ebay. Can someone tell me where the code is for this widget or the best way of going about doing this? The site is http://retreadwerks.com/wordpressNew/

[Charly_ZA]

Thanks, when I go to mywebsite.com/wordpress/forums the page is white. I did copy the bbpress files to the forum folder. When I get it installed will I be able to change the colours to match my current template?

[LabSecrets]

The plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpvn-username-changer/

I’ve not used it lately, and it is over 2 years since an update….so please test it before on a demo site.

I suggest you merely use cpanel and phpmyadmin to change username for admin in row 1 of wp_users table…..be sure to backup your db beforehand in case something goes wrong 🙂

Cheers!

Nice to see your ‘ Posts-to-bbPress’ plugin at GitHub
https://github.com/nosecreek/Posts-to-bbPress

[Worthdesigning]

I am using Profile Builder. Excellent plugin for registration.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile-builder/

[cavenewt]

Anybody tried WangGuard?

[cavenewt]

Same question here–I have a standalone 1.02 I’d like to upgrade to v2. Don’t care about WordPress but bbPressv2 is strictly a plugin for WP, right?

[Charly_ZA]

Is there any way to create a navigation bar link saying forums on my website. I have installed bbpress but I don’t know what to do next. I looked at a few tutorials. My website is tbolmc.com/wordpress

[stickFinger]

think the WordPress Adminbar is now been called the Toolbar.

Yep

Another good example is ServerPress

Try to register at that site . All is done through frontend.

Still wondering if the guys here could spread some light on 🙂
Thank you Shmoo

Hi,

I discovered that (replies) pagination printed inside each topic on topic list does not work if the replies counts more than 1000 entries. This is due to the use of

$total = bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id );

on function

bbp_get_topic_pagination()

on bb-topic-template.php. The total from bbp_get_topic_reply_count is returned as a formatted number, for example 1,449 and passing this value to the core WordPress paginate_links() from general-template.php leads to empty page list.

The bbp_get_topic_reply_count() should accept a second parameter to stop the formatting.

Version in use: bbPress 2.1.2.

Have a nice day, Stefano Lissa.

Metadata for search engines?

Use a plugin maybe SEO by Yoast.

Else use Custom Fields.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields

[Shmoo]

Use plugins…

Block IP’s or entire countries like China , Russia and Nigeria if you run a website for a local flower shop in France.

Just search around on the internet en WordPress website there is so much stuff you can do.

[Shmoo]

I think what he’s trying to say that somebody is working on it.

This means somebody outside WordPress is making a replica because i can’t believe WordPress giving away the code to the same sites they own. Normally nobody would do so.

But usual it’s not problem to recreate them and make them look the same, it’s just somebody has to do it in there free time so it takes a little time to complete.

But maybe i’am mistaken and WordPress is giving you this layout by default inside bbPress.
Maybe instead of the Twenty Ten option.

And last, bbPress.org is running on WordPress + bbPress version 2.2 this version hasn’t been released yet and don’t know why the team would do so or tell people that they do. It’s against WordPress ‘thinking’ they never tell people to use development software (code) on Live websites. Always test it on local websites.

You can find stuff about bbPress version 2.2 and up on this website.

I think the WordPress Adminbar is now been called the Toolbar.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Toolbar

Read and searsh a bit i think it’s very easy to add a link and remove stuff from this Toolbar.
there are filters i believe you can add to your functions.php to make this happen.

• There is also a plugin for locking members from going to your back-end made by @jjj

[Shmoo]

That’s very strange looks like the WP Loop is going somewhere through the sidebar.php file.

Make sure nowhere in the file is this code also look in the footer or other files that will be used.

( without the * )

But why would you copy stuff form the archive-forum.php template to the page.php template ?
page.php is used to generate a default WordPress page.

bbPress has it’s own Custom Templates
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Those can be found in the extra’s folder. For example if you copy page-front-forums.php from the extras folder to your WordPress theme folder you can find it while adding a new Page inside the WordPresss Dashboard.

Just: Add New Page and in the sidebar on the right side you can find an option the select a different Page Template.
Pick the new bbPress page template and name your page like Support of whatever the title or (url) of this page has to be and Save it.
Visit the Page and all the forums will show on that new page.

Now if you like to add some WordPress (blog) stuff to that page copy it from whatever WordPress template inside the page-front-forums.php

Make sure you delete the sidebar() code that i showed above out of that template.
Thats the logic way of working i believe. Don’t touch the page.php because it’s a default WordPress template for making new pages on your website.

Hello all. I am a complete newbie here so plz excuse me if I ask a totally naive question.

We have a test wordpress 3.4.2 multisite/subfolders:
http://multiroot.com, http://multiroot.com/site01, http://multiroot.com/site02, etc
The live site will also be using mapped domains: http://client01.com, http://client02.com etc

The multisite will be packed with plugins, themes and hopefully sites, 🙂
So, we want to have the bbpress v2.1.2 installed in a subdomain (separate single wordpress site) on a db of its own, handling all the bbpress plugins and themes. http://bbpress.multiroot.com

The question is this: Can we have users that log (in/out) to their sites be automatically logged (in/out) the bbpress forums as well and vice-versa?

If yes, how can we do it and what possible plugins (maybe) to use to synchronize this kind of behavior between the two databases?

Bonus question. After logging in could they create forum/s that can be linked to their sites -mapped or non mapped? (I don’t even know if this “sounds” right).

Thank you in advance,
marikamitsos

I, like most people using BBpress, have had an issue removing the sidebar from my new BBpress forums. I tried editing template files, adding files into my theme’s root, commenting our sidebar commands and whatever else has been recommended on these forums. Not to say those don’t work – I just couldn’t figure them out which is most likely due to my complete lack of php knowledge. I’m posting this for those of you like me, who have no idea how to do those fancy things.

Here’s how I removed my sidebar:

First, I copied over the CSS folder from my BBpress plugin folder /bbp-theme-compat to my theme’s root folder. (From your server root it should be wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/)

Then, I found the CSS class my theme was using to design the main content of my wordpress blog (should be a style.css file in your theme’s folder). Mine happened to be #main_content. Next, I found the the sidebar CSS in my theme’s style.css file which was simply #sidebar.

Note: I found the CSS class by right clicking the main content area of my website (where posts show) and selecting “Inspect Element”.

After finding those I created BBpress specific classes and pasted those into the bbpress.css file now located at {you_theme’s_root}/CSS/bbpress.css.

Here’s what I pasted in:

.bbPress #sidebar { 
width: 0px;
display:none; }

.bbPress #main-content { width: 940px; !important } 

Most likely you won’t need the sidebar’s width attribute but I added it in just in case.

And finally, after hours of trying to figure this out I went to my BBress forums page to discover that the forums fit perfectly into my theme without any sign of a sidebar.

I hope this helps!

I’m new to bbPress, using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2. What I’d like to know is how I can add metadata to each forum. For example, I want to show a description for a forum in the forums list. Is there a way to enable this with bbPress, or a plugin that does it?

[Callum Macdonald]

Has anyone found a working solution to this? I’m considering migrating my WordPress plugin support from comments on a WP post / page onto a bbPress forum (so the history is searchable). If such a thing doesn’t exist, I’d need to create it, because the history is what’s really valuable.

I had a quick look at the basic format and it doesn’t look all that complicated. Each forum, topic, or reply becomes a new entry in wp_posts with some extra metadata stored in wp_postmeta for things like the commenter’s name, email, url, and IP. I reckon the core logic would be pretty straightforward, my biggest question is how to kick off the import process.

Anyone with development experience interested in collaborating? Or got any existing code to share?
