Yes, I know. I wrote this is in my first post:

I see this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and I know this is not the latest version running there.

Thank you for hoping with me …

[POS2012]

No problem

But again, YOUR question was regarding the http://de.forums.wordpress.com

I am a fresh user of bbPress, but as far as I can see that forum us the “old” stand alone version of the bbPress. At least the code says so in the RSS generator:

<!-- generator="bbPress/1.1-alpha-2539" -->`

In that case I am not the one that can help. I don’t even know who is leading the bbPress project

Hope you get the help you need from others here!

How to replace one string of text with another one?

Example, change ” :heart: => spade ” in each and every topic and reply.

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

Those two themes are presented as examples of what can be done, comment-style and bbPress-style. You can copy the template files in /templates to your child WP theme and modify them there if you want to override them.

You can use filters in your theme’s functions.php or a separate plugin with add_filter.

The filters that are available to date are:

$file = apply_filters( 'ucc_btr_template_redirect', $file );

Used in template_redirect to figure out which template file to use; checks child theme, parent theme, and then defaults to plugin template files. Override if you want to specify single-topic.php or twentyeleven.php.

$expires = apply_filters( 'ucc_btr_expires', 3600 );

Sets the cache expires.

return apply_filters( 'ucc_btr_reply_class', $classes, $class, $reply->ID, $topic->ID );

Add classes to the reply container.

return apply_filters( 'ucc_btr_in_reply_to_link', $before . $link . $after, $args, $reply, $topic );

Creates the “Reply to this” link.

return apply_filters( 'ucc_btr_cancel_in_reply_to_link', '<a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-in-reply-to-link" href="' . $link . '"' . $style . '>' . $text . '', $link, $text );

Creates the “Click here to cancel reply” link.

$include = apply_filters( 'ucc_btr_replies_template', STYLESHEETPATH . $file );

Override the template to use for comment-styled replies (replies.php).

Greetings,

I was wondering if there is a plugin or setting that allows you to convert RSS feed posts into Topics. I have another plugin that is a modal window that collects feedback and I would like each feedback post to be placed in a Forum as a topic. This is for the bbPress plugin for wordpress, not the standalone.

Thanks,

Andrew

I was experiencing a similar problem. Sometimes I couldn’t get the page to load at all. Other times the main page would load but other pages would not. I contacted tech support for my host (gator) and asked about increasing PHP memory. They actually came back with the answer that I was not using a theme which was 100% compatible with bbpress. Switching to “bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 by WordPress and bbPress teams” seems to have taken care of the problem.

I would suggest that if you are getting white screens on some or all of your webgsite after activating the bbpress plugin that the first think to do wo uld be to make sure you are using a bbpress compatible theme.

@Bluealek PM solution is already exist for bbPress plugin. Ben L. has converted bbPM standalone version to bbPress plugin’s version.

Hope, that what you’re looking for!

Hi,

I have recently setup a bbpress on my wordpress website, and everything seems fine, but the Tags are somehow not working. The problem is when I create a Tag from the front of the website (while creating a new thread) I then cannot see it in the panel administrator. Also, when I create the tag in the panel administrator I then cannot see the tag in the widget in the front end of the website. Do you have any idea what could be causing the problem?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

I’ve got some difficulties with shorcodes in my bbpress installation for wordpress. I have to use special shortcodes for card symbols (spade, diamond, etc.). Example, I use special format for posts, that changes :spade: into <img src=”dsewfwe” />. It works for posts and comments, but it doesn’t work for topics and replies

Any advice how to automatically replace a string with a different one?

Please help

I’ve just upgraded to wordpress 3.3.2.

And after this upgrade my bbpress forum dosen’t work(?) – or dosen’t show.

http://www.neworleanssaints.dk/Forums/debat/saints/ – is the correct parth… but it sends me to: http://www.neworleanssaints.dk/2011/08/19/saints/ …don’t know why.

I’ve checked the menu and forum (bbpress) and its all set up correct. But still i doesn’t se my forum. Any ideas?

[RideCBR.com]

I’m running WordPress, buddypress, and the bbpress forum plugin here: http://www.ridecbr.com

How can I add breadcrumbs (links showing where you are, and how to get back to the previous page, or the main forums) as well as a title for each forum topic.

When you click into a topic, shouldn’t it show you a breadcrumb list, as well as the topic title?

Please help!! I’ve posted 2-3 times with no responses in the past.

Thanks for your help in advance.

[Jaja..]

Yeah you can do a lot.

Use the WP Template Name function.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

Create your own template files and build your own (bbPres) code inside them or leave them very default and use the Short Tags you’re using with ID’s right now.

If you can select the bbPress templates when adding a new page you can also make your own page templates.

Just select new page and pick a template from the right-side (template)

At http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin there are plenty of items listed as “Waiting”

e.g. Polish, Romanian, French and Czech have 0% translation completed, but almost 100% strings in “waiting”.

So how do we move strings from “waiting” to “translated”?

[Torsten Landsiedel]

The topic title in bbpress rss feeds is “(author) on (title)” which is really bad, because I can’t sort on title anymore. This is sort by author, because the author is the first string in the title.

And it is redundant, because there is a author field which I can see in my feed reader.

Maybe you can change this to “(title) – (author)” (or similar) …

I see this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and I know this is not the latest version running there. So if this is changed in the latest version, just tell me!

Thanks in Advance!

Kind regards

@Jaredatch,

What’s the best and worst difference between the two, Vanilla VS bbPress.

I have been testing and building bbPress a few times locally but it has never gave me that final push to go live with it, I just don’t trust it..

Every website i make i pick WP as my default CMS because i truly 300% believe in the product it has made my life so much easier. While 3 maybe 4 years ago i was always scared of the word CMS i loved Static content and doing lots of work.

bbPress never gave me that final push of confidence that it could be the Tool you need.

Example, i help solving a lot of questions on the Dutch WordPress forums and all new users i can tell what the power of WP is and all it’s Easy to Use features like the Menu system (my fav.) but when somebody asks me if i know a good forums software i always end up saying bbPress BUT i don’t know if it’s for everybody.

There is still that level of difference. While a user don’t understand why. a plugin = a plugin they can activate and it should work.

[Jared Atchison]

If you don’t want to use WordPress my recommendation would be to check out Vanilla

[busterbox]

i jus dont want to use wordpress but i am using wordpress in one of my site and want to create sumthing else

[SK]

You can change the look of it with CSS and by editing template files. I can’t comment much because the link you provided http://fotosputnik.com/wordpress returns 404

[wizardregis]

When users use the WordPress toolbar (black bar at the top of the screen) and go to new > reply they can see topics that belong in hidden and private forums in the dropdown list to the right. They can also post the reply to those topics.

The user role can’t see the forum in the forumlist, nor can they access the forum or any of the topics directly.

I’m using the 2.0.2 WordPress plugin and Members role manager plugin.

[purplesea]

I’m new to wordpress and bbpress.

I’m trying to build up my company site with wordpress and I need to have two different forums with different templates.

So I installed bbpress and I created two different pages in wordpress and in each page I used shortcode “[bbp-single-forum id=$post_id]” to create a single forum page.

Each single forum page should use different template or theme, but I couldn’t find any way to use different templates for different forums simultaneously.

Does anyone know if this is possible to do with bbpress?

Thanks in advance.

[grahamgrocho]

Hm. OK.

Is there any way for me to just make the plugin bbpress look like the standalone? I really can’t stand how going to http://fotosputnik.com/wordpress is the way to browse to my forums, etc. And they look like blog posts, etc.

As opposed to my phpbb3 forum: http://fotosputnik.com/phpBB3

I much prefer a traditional message board but this wordpress/bbpress plugin does not seem like the right answer. The bbpress plugin did, and I much prefer it over phpBB3, but I can’t seem to transfer my phpBB3 database into the standalone bbpress w/o totally messing it up. Transferring to plugin version worked just fine though.

[pagal]

@POS2012 bbPress.org/forums using standalone cms version which is much better and more comprehensive then current bbPress plugin.

I can design a custom bbPress theme like bbPress.org/forums layout for you.

Contact me via http://scr.im/pagal

Thanks!

[POS2012]

Yes, I understand that the surrounding layout (WP theme) can be changed, but I would like a forum set up that is more like this one.

So I am more thinking of the setup of the forum that is “rendered” inside the WP layout’s page.php.

[SK]

Check out free ones here: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=bbpress

You’ll have to search for paid themes on Google.

But really, almost any WordPress theme should work with bbPress
