Is it correct that when the request is ?post_type=forum WordPress loads (through the function bbp_template_include_theme_supports()) the file page.php? It should not load archive.php or (better) archive-forum.php? Why this happens?

[big_ham]

There is nothing to work out IMHO. mjpg (posted above) has provided the ideal “Work Around” that I think is perfect. Use another plugin to augment this one and provide even MORE flexibility to your permissions.

Don’t ask the bbPress developers to take their time to reinvent the wheel when someone else has already done it. The Drupal community is excellent at referring to each others modules as “dependencies” for certain functionality.

WordPress has a ways to go in this respect, but I have to admit bbPress is better than any of the Drupal offerings when combined with a nice $40 theme purchased online. The phpBB –> bbPress transfer tools are also both quite useful. I just switched to bbPress and plan to be using it for a long time to come so keep it coming guys! Great work!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on that. I did exactly what you suggested, redrudolf, but all that did was create another ‘bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 by WordPress and bbPress teams’ theme. Thanks anyway.

I have been trying other things too but can’t seem to work out what I should be doing – I think I need someone to walk me through it step by step. lol

[briggsy326]

I’m something of a novice when it comes to bbPress, sorry to say. And although I have spent a fair amount of time searching for how to do what I want to achieve I can not find a way that I can follow!

I am using WordPress and have installed the bbpress (version 2.0.2) plugin and I want to alter the layout of it.

I was looking at this link: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/11/15/getting-started-with-bbpress/

and currently the layout I see very much looks like this:

http://media.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sm-bbpress-forums.png

but I very much want it to resemble this (not exactly):

http://media.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sm-bbpress-dropbox.png

Sorry if this seems like such an obvious thing to do, but I really am at a loss of where to start.

Thank you kindly in anticipation of any help.

This code is a little unsafe. It doesn’t filter out posts in hidden or private forums. Is this possible?

[Installation]

i have one xml sitemap wordpress plugin for transposh. but that plug in showing some style missing and include error, is the same style work for bbpress?

I was also searching for this plugin.

Hey,

In 2.1 bbPress can now parse YouTube links and embed them directly into the posts, which is a great feature.

However, I’ve come across one problem, the width of the videos.

The videos default to 640 width which is too wide for my content. In wordpress media settings I’ve entered that the content shouldn’t be wider than 500px but bbPress do not adhere to that setting.

Also, since the embed add width and height inline, I can’t change it with CSS.

The only workaround right now is to add &w=500 at the end of the YouTube link, but that’s not ideal for many reasons. First, it makes more complicated for my users to add video. And also, it means that if I ever change width of the forum in the future, 500 might not be the ideal width and I’d have to go over and change it all again.

Not sure if I should put this as a bug in the trac. I certainly don’t mind doing that but don’t want to flood it unnecessarily.

Okay, and just to make matters weirder, I could log into my WordPress install (same account/password but for some reason you have to login again when you go over to bbpress) on the same iPhone.

AND I could log into the bbpress side on a different iPhone (borrowed one from somebody). But on my own iPhone I suddenly can’t. And I’ve been doing it successfully for years.

And did you found something ?

An idea ?

Hi there.

I desperately need threaded discussion and I have installed the plugin for this, but it’s not displaying correctly The reply links for each post are there, but there’s no indentation.

I’m using WordPress 3.3.2 with BuddyPress and the Frisco theme, which is a child theme of BuddyPress Default 1.5.5.

Any suggestions?

Update:”I was then able to select the new forum page as the forum in buddypress and remove the notice.” – sorry this is wrong.

It was still causing the redirect problem so I had to select the buddypress page as ‘none’.

Which means I’m still getting the notice of “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums”.

[Nicola]

I installed BBpress via Buddypress – site wide forums.

I then set up up the slugs and the forum was working fine. I have a theme that already includes styling in the style.css file so customising colours and such wasn’t a problem. However I wanted to have the ability to add other content to the page which I couldn’t as the forum page didn’t actually exist in my wordpress pages.

I then noticed a message saying “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums”. After I created the page named forum and associate it with the forums, it stops working in the front end when navigating to my site and redirected to the homepage. So within the created Forum page I added this shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

I was then able to select the new forum page as the forum in buddypress and remove the notice.

The forum is now still located at mysite.com/forum which is great. I prefer this method I want to have the ability to add content to the created forum page as I said above.

But now the forum page seems to have added in the share and twitter plugins and I’ve no idea how to fix this! please help.

yes, i searched for new plugins that help me to keep my previous as well as new comments.

Pull up the functions.php in you *WordPress* theme (not bbPress theme) – place that snippet at the very bottom. Right before ?> if your file has it.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress out of the box will not support [shortcodes] so JW Player will not work in forum posts.

If you want to enable [shortcodes] in bbPress topics & replies then give this a try.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

And then install a ‘whitelist supported’ video player eg.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/

[DarwinsDream]

Thanks Jared you have no clue how good it is to have you on my side on this one hahaha

I saw You and John write that exact answer on another post and my lack of knowledge in actual hand PHP scripting cause me to kill my site wich is about 70% bbpress i killed my functions.php so i had to download a new version of bbpress and replaced the files i touched with new ones.

I am positive (*crosses fingers*) that this do_shortcode script will work for me.

Main Issue: I have NO clue where in the functions.php to put it, can you give my sad non PHP reading butt an example of where it should go or would you like me to post my functions page here.

One more question:Do you mean my wordpress theme folder or my bbpress theme folder.

As always Jared you my friend are the freaking man and thank you

[DarwinsDream]

Wow i had no clue anyone was here in this bbpress forum, seems like everyone is posting on this topic. There are other topics going too guys. Like one’s that haven’t been addressed in 5 days… just saying

John?

Jared?

Anointed?

Can someone please take a look at my most recent topic that I posted. While waiting for an answer Ive crashed my site twice(worse than i ever had before) bringing it back twice and then rebuilt it totally again once in about 48 hours. I really need some help. I soooo don’t want to do a complete redesign in a new platform, but that is an option that has crossed my mind. I’m so happy with my wordpress/bbpress site. But I need to get this video player working.

Hi There,

I am running the latest wordpress

site url is: http://www.climberism.com/forum-page-tst/

We have an iframe setup in the url above pointing to the bbpress forum we have installed. It is the only way I can get it to work with my wordpress theme. Anyway, is there a way to stop the iframe refresh from always going back to the same page? ie. if you’re in the “gear talk” section and refresh you just get dumped back to the main forum page.

If anyone has any ideas, that would be awesome. Thanks.

[sonld89]

Dear all, I have a wordpress website and in website have a bbpress forum. I want comment in a topic of website sort by post date desc but reply in a topic of forum sort by post date asc.

I was config “Setting -> Discussion: Comments should be displayed with the newer comments at the top of each page” and add filter:

add_filter( 'bbp_has_replies_query', 'bbp_reverse_reply_order' );
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {             

            // Bail if no query
if ( empty( $query ) ) return;

            // Change the order
$query = 'ASC';

            // Return the adjusted query
return $query;
}

BBPress order reply when query the replies by post date asc but when paging the replies is sorted by post date desc on a page.

Please help me resolved this issue. Thanks!

Use add_submenu_page( ‘themes.php’, … ); See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_submenu_page.

I know.

[DarwinsDream]

I cant get my jwplayer shortcode to work in bbpress. I am aware of the shortcode issue in bbpress. But I need all shortcodes to work in bbpress. Security is not an issue at this point.

I tried the (get_shortcode)code in the theme fuctions.php file with no result. Not really sure if I was supossed to put it in the wordpress theme or the bbpress theme. Maybe im writing the code in the wrong spot, I’m not the strongest on php my strengths are html, css, and design. This issue has been a thorn in my side for about a week. So if anyone can tell me exactly where to place the–

add_action( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

php script so I can get this thing flowing, I would def owe you a buck.

also i get an error when i try and install shortcode whitelist and bbcode

When activating the bbPress plug-in, bbPress automatically injects itself into the WordPress standard menu.

Is it possible to remove this link from the standard menu?

I’m using qTranslate on my WordPress installation and the link to bbPress that bbPress injects into the WordPress standard menu is not compatible with qTranslate.

I would like to add a standard custom menu link to the forum and remove the automatically injected link to the forum.

Is this possible?

Edit: Found a solution to this problem myself.

Hashbang urls are now handled in BackPress trunk as of https://backpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/350

And so work on the WP.com forums and anywhere else where a bbPress install pulls it’s BackPress external from HEAD of trunk/includes
