In WordPress, there’s a chance to pick out the template for every page (dropdown on Edit Page and Edit Post pages).
bbPress forum root, forums, topics and replies are custom post varieties.
It would be smart to check in bbPress the flexibility to line the default layout for every of those.
Dropdown (like the one on Edit Page page), whereby the admin will choose the layouts from among the active theme’s layouts shall be ideal.
(I perceive that if once this the admin decides to alter the theme, he can got to choose the default layouts for bbPress custom posts once more – similar to he has to do therefore for traditional pages and posts

I have a custom wordpress theme for my company’s blog to match the styling of my non-wordpress company website. I came across bbpress and wanted to integrate it into my wordpress company blog.

I followed this tutorial for a basic forum setup:

http://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

My Parent Theme: XX

My Child Theme: XX-bbpress

I created my child bbpress theme and imported the necessary templates as suggested, however, I am baffled by what I observed when I visit the blog landing pages:

I went into WP-ADMIN and activated the child theme. When I visit:

http://www.companydomain.com/blog/forums

– I can see the default forum layout

but when i vist my blog

http://www.companydomain.com/blog

– my blog page is completly blank

I’ve disabled all but the bbpress plugin. WP_DEBUG doesn’t show any errors when I visit my blog page either. HUH?

Am I missing something? Thanks!

Hey guys,

Ok here is what the Developer of the plugin hat told me. Does this help? I tried this fix and it doesn’t work but it is a step in the right direction. And would also help me get around. The shortcode permissions issue I believe.

“

Hi,

I’m the developer of the wordpress plugin.

One thing to note is that the JW Player tag is not actually a shortcode but a filter that is applied to post content. Using a filter was necessary to support the syntax needed to customize the player. However, it has the unfortunate side effect of making stuff like this more challenging. The filter function is called “jwplayer_tag_callback” and is applied to “the_content”.

So in your case I’m hoping the following would work for you:

<?php

add_filter(‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

add_filter(‘entry_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

add_filter(‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

add_filter(‘entry-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

?>

If not, we can work on another solution.

Thanks.

Are you trying to sell me on the whitelist plugin? I lready tried that about 3 weeks ago. It wouldn’t install because of a fault error. I don’t have time to try and make non working plugins work.

I have multiple video plugins that work fine on my site already… maybe you should have checked the links……..

My issue is that EVERY plugin offered for wordpress merely links to offsite content. Requiring my site content to be dependent on data from another website.

As a web developer this is unacceptable. And is RULE #1 with developing a website.

Also plugins such as shortcode white list are bandaids to the real issue. I am looking for a solution not a bandaid. Bandaids cause issues down the line.

Hey,

I tried the last few days to figure out, what I did wrong. On my test version of WordPress I installed bbpress for development. Everything is working fine there.

For the customer, I installed the latest WordPress 3.4 Release Candidate. But when I tried to call */forums, the request slows down and All I get is the theader element. I can get to single forums, topics etc, but I cannot see the whole forums.

Any Idea how to solve this?

[zeaks]

I wasn’t sure where to ask this. I want to put a note above or next to where it says “Reply” and “Topic Description:” for posting instructions. Anyone know what files I need to edit, or some sort of function I can use?

I did this with wordpress comments EX: Use “< code > to display code in your comment” above the comment box, using a function, no idea how to do it with bbpress though.

[Lynq]

I am using jQuery Mobile on my wordpress site which works pretty nicely (I still have some work to do on it).

You could look into that, you would need to do some customization to get a forum working though as of course width can be restricted on mobile devices.

[zeaks]

This is probably a stupid question, but I can’t figure it out.

What is the proper way to post php and html code into a bbpress 2.0 forum post? I tried using < code > but when posting some html, it’s not displayed, tried using the little like on wordpress.org but that didn’t work either.

Tried registering, and it does redirect me to some other weird site (which I assume is the main one on the network.)

I bet it’s WordPress redirecting, since it expects the root site to manage all sign-ups. Could probably use some help figuring this out and fixing, since you have an installation exhibiting the issue already.

[Jared Atchison]

What version are you running?

I believe this is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.1

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1645

If you don’t have anything in your forums yet I’d give 2.1 a try and see if that fixes it.

[eric_holmes]

Hello Everyone,

We have a WordPress install on our internal server. Let’s say this is the address:

http://192.168.0.5/wordpress/

When either logging in, or out, it duplicates the subfolder in the web address to this:

http://192.168.0.5/wordpress/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?settings-updated=true

I have double checked the URIs in General settings, both are correctly set to http://192.168.0.5/wordpress/. All page navigation works fine.

I have confirmed that this is a plugin issue, because I disabled bbPress, and the login redirection works fine. There must be something wrong with the login redirection script that is duplicating the subfolders.

Any idea of whether this only affects localhost servers, or if it will prove to cause problems when hosted on a live site?

Thanks in advance

[operative_me]

I’m just doing this as a favor to a friend, but there’s some problems with adding bbpress. I have tried FTPing the files up and installing using the built-in wordpress installation process, to no avail. In both instances, adding BBpress makes the entire front page of the website blank. It’s a pretty frustrating process. Uninstalling fixes the problem with no information lost.

I should note that this is a multi-site install, and I’m trying to install it only on a single site within that network (the idea being to have only a single forum common to all the sub-sites).

[wpmhweb]

John thanks for your reply!

[Lynq]

if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'post_parent' => $postmeta["forum_id"] ) ) )

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );

You see the part about $postmeta["forum_id"] you need to grab the post meta data with <?php $meta_values = get_post_meta($post_id, $key, $single); ?>

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

Then once you have all the post meta data in an array you can grab the forum ID and put it in the arguments.

I’ve followed bbPress’ development off and on since it first came out (aww, when it was a wee thing). It’s made many, many functional improvements since (good job, everyone!), but it’s lacking in the documentation department, and documentation is what has always made WordPress so great and accessible. For bbPress to really become a part of WordPress, even just as a plugin, the documentation needs to be better.

After so many years in development, I expected there to be more documentation when I gave bbPress a try this time around. Instead, there was a lot of teeth grinding and guesswork on my part, mainly because there’s so much conflicting information about how things work, not to mention all the old information that’s no longer relevant. But I did figure it out (screenshot of my work to prove it!).

I know bbPress 2.1 is in development and (may be) coming out soon with many new bells and whistles in regard to themes, but I feel for anyone struggling to get the current version to work. As such, I wrote some documentation. Which may or may not be placed in the wrong location of the Codex because there were no instructions for it, either, that I could see. (Sorry, admins!)

bbPress is still geared to the web-savvy at the best of times, I’d say, so I didn’t try to go into minute detail with all my instructions; rather, I tried to make it clear what should be done for the current version. I hope it helps someone!

[DarwinsDream]

Thank you Key Master Wish I was the damn gate keeper cause then i would understand what’s going on here. lmao!!!!

Here is my issue at hand and then I guess I will have to decide whether or not to move forward. I am trying to make a media sharing site that is merely a “forum” of my site ( http://www.soundhampton.com/the_knowledge_forum ) to lead traffic back to my business site ( http://www.soundhampton.com ).

I was going to use bbpress for the forum side but the more I try and implement it the deeper I get into issues that take me months to figure out. Every issue I have been able to handle except this one.

John I totally under stand why shortcodes are not allowed. It makes complete sense. I read up on the security issue post you wrote about from day one of this media player issue and did not take your advice now…. here I am.

To be honest I kind of always knew that even if I did get the shortcodes to work. I would have to make changes in the future to secure my forums from shortcodes.

so, moving forward

Can you guys suggest a proper media sharing community plugin / addition to wordpress I can even point the URL to a different folder. Now Im just rambling.

I have no clue how to build a plugin

[John James Jacoby]

If you’re using the bbPress plugin for WordPress, it will put its data in the same database tables as your WordPress installation.

There is an “uninstaller” in development, but I suspect most people won’t ever want to completely destroy all of their data.

The only security concerns would be the ones you create, like allowing them to be Editors or Admins. The default user role prevents Subscribers from doing anything malicious.

[wpmhweb]

Hi,

I am really looking forward to include bbPress in my WordPress site, but I have these questions that right now is stopping me from doing it: Is safe to install bbPress in the same database that WordPress is running on? There is a clean way to automatically uninstall bbPress in case something goes wrong? Is there any security concern letting visitors register right into WordPress?

Thanks,

[DarwinsDream]

wordpress 3.3.1

with sliding door theme

bbpress 2.0.2 as plugin

default theme

[John James Jacoby]

Clearly links that don’t function isn’t normal; if everyone had this issue, 200k other bbPress users wouldn’t be using bbPress. Sorry if bbPress didn’t do what you expected, but it’s working great for many others.

Overall, it sounds like your theme is the culprit, and that you don’t like the way it looks. That’s a design decision; one that you will need to solve on your own if you don’t like the default styling.

bbPress has never tried to be exactly like “all the other forum software.” The philosophy is to be the smallest and simplest to use, and I think it accomplishes that pretty well inside of WordPress. If it’s missing things you wanted or expected, you are free to build those things yourself.

Thanks for the feedback.

[Jared Atchison]

What version of bbPress/WordPress are you using?

[DarwinsDream]

nope nothing man. I have longtail looking at this issue too, but something tells me they are going to blame bbpress which is crap but we know the way plugin developers are.(no offense to you at all Jared)

longtail was like have you tried disabling bbpress yet ?

*palm to face and shakes head*

I don’t think they get it….

such a weird issue, is there a way to just load the plugin in bbpress and make the plugin think it is wordpress?

[DarwinsDream]

k, I switched to twentyeleven theme and disabled all my plugins except bbpress and jwplayer for wordpress. I verified the div of the bbpress content box with firefox inspect element and put extra code in my functions.php to compensate for missed div tag code in the functions.php. here is what i put on top on functions.php as an injected php script within functions.php

<?php

add_action( ‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

?>

<?php

/**

* slidingdoor functions and definitions

blah blah blah php blah blah blah

then also a double attack at the end of fuctions.php is here

}

endif;

add_action( ‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

—funtions.php ends here–

-I see other plugins intereacting fine with short codes ie [video] in my bbpress forum but not [jwplayer] can i attach this in css ?

-Is there a very messy way to go about this and edit every file in my bbpress plugin folder?

-Am i better off installing bbpress as stand alone instead of plugin?

-I’m I going about creating a media based user interactive site the wrong way when choosing wordpress w/ bbpress?

I’ve literally spent 90% of my time just trying to get what I want to work and edit it so its all tight. This issue is a brick wall and everything is stopped until this issue is resolved. So really am i just going nuts trying to reinvent the wheel?

Thanks guys…..

The fix it for payment offer always stands until its fixed. That goes for everyone not you Jared But feel free lol
