Hi, all. In the BBpress plugin for WordPress, the default theme does not contain log-in and profile links at the header of every page. How do I add this? Thanks!

Edit: Also. How do I add the latest discussions to the home page?

Hi,

I have the same problem that I don’t want to show on the frontpage the whole tree of forums, sub-forums and sub-sub-forums.
Just one level at the same time and when going one level deeper then also only one level.
I have read already nearly all topics about this on bbpress.org and on Google.

Unfortunately all of the topics are 2-5 years old, most of the pastebin-links are not working anymore and besides this even the structure and the names like front-page.php are not the same anymore like in the old topics.

So: I am using WordPress 3.4.1 with the Skeleton theme and bbPress 2.1.2 and the default theme bbp-theme-compat.

In which file or files do I have to change what to hide the sub-forums at least from the frontpage or even better at every hierarchy-level?

Thanks!

Hi, I used Byethost’s Free Hosting:

• PHP: 5.3.14
• WordPress: 3.4.1
• Better WP: 3.4.2 *
• bbPress: 2.1.2

I’m trying to activate Better WP and bbPress My website link

If I activate Better WP before, bbPress after so I coundn’t go to Dashboard (Blank page)

If I activate bbPress before, Better WP after so get this message:

> Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 50331648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/vol14/byethost3.com/b3_10883728/htdocs/epub/wp-admin/includes/schema.php on line 527

I used one of the other solutions but dont’t successfull:

> 1. Try adding this line to my wp-config.php file: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
2. Try adding this to an .htaccess file (because I don’t have access to PHP.ini): php_value memory_limit 128M

What additional information do you need? And do you have any ideas how to solve it?

I have a login box now in the header of all pages on my site but if the form isn’t filled out and you click submit it doesn’t display an error message, instead it takes you to the wp-login page. How do I avoid that? Is there something I can add to the shortcode that will require information in the form?

Its the ‘WP-Markdown’ plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-markdown/

Hi guys, you know the editor we use on this site to be able to start new topics and add replies, its not the same as the editor you get on the standard installation of BBPress (that one looks like a fancy wordpress editor) what im after is finding out what bbpress.org actually use as there editor because on this one you can hit the link or image button and a window pops up where you just simply insert the link and boom it works right in the post

(like this>)

and the post preview just underneath is uber handy!!

Can anyone shine any light as to what bbpress.org use themselves?

Cheers
Steve

I am wanting to change the post count instead to a reply count, same as the current bbPress forum does. How would I go about doing that? I have tried to google and search through these forums but unfortunately haven’t found the answer yet.

I am using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and my forum is currently in test mode at netballscoop.com/forums

I would like to install bbpress on a wordpress site I am trying to build- all static pages, so all loged in users to the website domain and sub domains (not multi site) have access to the forum and public viewers of the site do not know the forum exists. Also, the forum should not be indexed or published on the internet.

[thefairystamp]

I can’t belive, that this is acutally no out of the box function for bbpress / wordpress – but I have really big issues, with having certain forums or topic just accessable for certrain user groups.

It seems impossible, to create something, like user-groups, only roles can be done – thats okay. But Even with the Members Plugin, where I can create certain roles, it is absolutely impossible to specify, which user-role has access to a forum or topic.

Ex.: I created a user Role, then I created a forum, and I set the User-Role I created to be the only User role, that should have acccess to it. If I set the visibility to public, everyone could see it, If I set it to private, only logged in users could see it – everyone.

Isn’t there ANY way, to let my customer

• create User Groups (or roles)
• apply them to users
• and specify at each forum OR Topic, which user role should have access

We really need this! I know that this is possible with BuddyPress, but with my years of WordPress Experience, I have still no clue how to make a hole BuddyPress Site – there is no satisfying documentation about it. (as well as with bbpres.. btw..)

Hello guys,

I am running wordpress 3.4.1 and bbpress 2.1.2..
The Add this topic to your favorites and Subscribe button works well for Administrators but not for Authors
Author clicks those links, the span goes red color and happens nothing..
Would anyone suggest me what may be causing this?

Thank you!

Hi there, can any kind expert help me out? I’ve been doing lots of trial and error but I still can’t figure out the solution:
When I set my bbpress forums to wordpress home page, the page layout gets messed up
i.e. http://semjunkie.com/
If one goes directly to the forum page, the page layout displays how its supposed to
i.e. http://semjunkie.com/forums/

I really want bbpress to be on the home page though, is there anything I can do to make it display correctly when its set to static home page?

Hi

i use worpress 3.4.1 and I installed bbpress 2.1.2 on my site karnhack.com.

I have the permalink activated (I have tried to reset it) and the wordpress page is named karnhack.com/forum-test

When i click the forum “provaforum” bbpress opens the contents out of my site and ignores the permalink /forum-test/

Could someone help me? thank you very much

When a user login to the the site, they are automatically logged out out when the forum is visited. The only exception is the ‘admin’
I really need a fix to this issue.

I’m using the latest version of WordPress, and my site is http://www.cvshore.com; bb version is 2.1.2

[Stephen Edgar]

No, you do not need BuddyPress installed.

Is the bbPress plugin activated on your plugins settings? (if it is deactivate it and reactivate it)

There are three new menu items on your WordPress navigation menu. These are:

Forums – create and manage your forum.

Topics – topics are created within forums, they are the issues that are being discussed.

Replies – replies are made to topics, this is the actual discussion.

You should be able to see your forums at http://yourdomain.com/forums/

You can also create a standard WordPress page and add a shortcode eg. [bbp-forum-index] (This will Show your entire forum index) to the page content.

You can then add either to any of your main WordPress menus for easy navigation.

netweb, thanks for your reply. I had previously looked at the bbpress getting started page, but did go back again per your suggestion. Unfortunately, I am unable to apply anything past the installation. I did not install BuddyPress – do you have to install BuddyPress in order to get bbpress to work?

When I go to my WordPress dashboard “Pages/All Pages” there is no sign of any forum page – I suspect that this is probably closely related to my problem, which is that I don’t have any idea how to “connect” bbPress forum pages to my WordPress blog (e.g. for hyperlinks). I am assuming that the primary purpose of creating bbPress was to make it function effectively and somewhat seamlessly with WordPress – but I can’t find anything that tells me what the developers have in mind for that?

Thanks for your help and advice

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress does allow shortcodes for security reasons, you should look at something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

To order your replies in reverse order add the following code to your themes functions.php file.

Bingo! as soon as you said “conflicting” I knew it was the wordbooker plugin. Wordbooker integrates wordpress with Facebook.

But that for sure has to be a bug. Is it bbpress bug or Wordbookers bug? I don’t want to compromise between those two but if I have to choose I choose to have a forum.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try this and post the link back here:

• Create a WordPress page eg. bbpress-test would be http://pedalterapi.net/bbpress-test
• Add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to the page https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Does this now include the forum description?

If you want further granular access you should use a plugin to control the access privs:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/ or
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/
