I found something..
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action
Only trying to find where those functions are.. they aren’t in my functions.php
??
So they call a function by the plugin DO_ACTION PHP code but i can’t find the template that lists all those actions-/functions.
Just wondering
If i want to add bbPress to my own theme, this topic tells me to add the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); to my functions.php <– the functions of my own WordPress theme.
Because if you copy-/paste the files from the bbPress plugins folder to my wp-content > themes > theme folder it also has a functions.php file.
What about two functions.php ?
Hello there,
I think my question will be very easy for most people here but I am really having a hard time to make it work. I read your post about theme compatibility many times but I am still missing something.
I installed the bbpress 2.0 rc plugin in my wordpress 3.2.1 and I also looked over the internet for a bbpress theme (not sure if it is compatible with bbpress 2.0 though). What I did was:
First Time:
A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.
I copyied all the files from bbp-twentyten into the custom theme folder
The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.
Second Time:
A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.
I copyied the folder bbp-twentyten from “/bbpress/bbp-themes/” into the wp-content/themes. My custom theme was also the wp-content/themes
The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.
In both case I added the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
Can you please give some me some help cause I feel very stupid.

bbpress: 2.0-rc-5
wordpress: 3.2.1
theme: woothemes canvas 4.4.0
I think I have not understood how to add bbpress to my site correctly.
Thusfar:
1. Installed bbpress plugin and in forum settings, set Archives Slug > Forums base to “community”.
2. Created a page with slug “community” and added [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.
3. Using widget logic plugin, added some sidebar widgets to display on this page.
4. Visited /community page. My sidebars are not showing and looking at source code reveals page is using a forum archive template and not a page template.
5. Changed page slug to something other than “community”. The page then displays the sidebars I have set. However, the breadcrumb navigation still links back to the /community forum archive page without my sidebars.
How can I set things up so that the forum index appear on the page where I placed the shortcode and not on a different forum archive template page, and also have the breadcrumb navigation work correctly?
Thanks to anyone for any suggestions.
Just tested bbPress 2.0-rc-5 on WordPress 3.2.1. I assume this feature is to send emails to user that have subscribed or checked the “Notify me…” checkbox in a forum topic? I’ll try running a trace.
On another note: GREAT JOB bbPress!!! I’m liking the cleaner integration, and simple plugin installation of bbPress inside WordPress. WordPress is very refined and launching/integrating (read: seamless login/logout) with WP is fantastic. Thanks for working on this project!
Hello,
I’ve installed the plugin on my site, which has a custom theme, but after following the installation instructions found here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility, all I get is a blank page if I view the forum. So, I deactivated the plugin, deleted, and reinstalled. This time I DID NOT copy any files into my theme directory, just left it as is.
Now, If I place some shortcode such as [bbp-forum-index] on one of my current wordpress pages, it will show, but once I click on one of the topics, it brings me to the blank page again! I’m tearing my hair out here trying to figure this out..I thought it would be a lot easier as I work on WP sites all the time.
Here is the link to the forum that is blank:
http://foreverathletes.com/forums/forum/community-2/
Can somebody help me out? Again, I tried this route:
If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your “wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%” folder, and modify your style.css to make it a custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is. This is so theme updates don’t wipe out all your hard work later.
…But couldn’t figure out how to make the style.css work…I modified the style.css inside of the bbp-twentyten so that the Template name matched my theme name, but this did not work. Am I missing something here?
Thanks for the help.

For inline editing have you taken a look at:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/
Scribu’s a master at this stuff and code is rock solid.
You can always check the file dates to see what files changed at:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
Best way is to try out the bbPress plugin for WordPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
It tries really hard to make creating a forum as easy as possible. Depending on your theme, it should integrate into your existing site without any issues. You will need to configure a few things, so read some of the sticky topics here and post up new topics if you have questions.
Hi guys,
I’ve already got a website which is going to have around 100+ pages when complete and I’m looking to add a forum. It’s a wordpress website. I was wondering whether I have to register a new url and link from my main website to a specific solo bbpress forum website… or can i just create it as an extension of my current website (that would be most preferrable).
this may be a stupid question but I am completely inexperienced with forums so I’ve decided the best way for a quick and efficient resolution was to ask
help would be sincerely appreicated

Install wordpress.
Search plugins for buddypress, install.
Search plugins for bbpress 2.0, install.
On the left hand panel under buddypress there will be an option for forums. Sync with existing bbpress install.
The only modifications I made was following your instructions in terms of copying everything from the bbpress default theme over to the WordPress theme folder. Then all I was editing was the css…
Where in the css would be the paragraph tags for users reply box?
Also the HTML Tags that users can use don’t function either >_>
Hi; just checked the translation of bbPress 2 over at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/ and it’s seemingly lacking these two strings:
“This category contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.”
“This category contains %1$s and %2$s.”
Adam – You can use a plugin for that with MultiSite.
* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/
That will let you set up a new user to be a specific role per site. As for EXTRA roles, you need another plugin, like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members to handle that.
create a login/register form for users who go to site 2. I dont want them using wp-admin as that takes them to the admin dash board when they sign in and unlike on a single (non multi site) installation of wordpress I dont know how to change the user settings when a user logs in or signs up as we discussed in: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-give-users-who-sign-up-forum-participant.
So I need something like buddy press where they sign in and are taken back to the forums and never see the admin pannel.
in a single (non multi site)install of wordpress I can go to settings and say any user who signs up is signed up as a forum participant and when they sign in using wp-admin all they see is dash board, forums and topics. which is ideally what I want…..
I really hope that made sense…..
testbp.org is a standalone installation not connected to anything. We use it to test BuddyPress, WordPress, and bbPress together in a typical hosting environment.
thats what I have as well. Is “post any html” lets test this jazz.
My login information which works here does not work there…..>_> I thought this login stuff was global across buddypress, wordpress (which it doesnt work there either) and here?
omg….Im sorry I meant BBPRESS…I was developing all day in buddypress hence why I said buddy press. any ways:
Site -> multisite:
site 1 = blog, regular wp-admin
site 2 = buddypress, buddypress sign in
site 3 = bbpress = no login?
i am wondering, as when i copied all the theme files like your sticky sais to for making bbpress integrate with your current wordpress theme, i saw some login, registration, forgot password and so on .php files. How can I use these to allow users to login on site 3, or to construct a form for signing up and logging in?
The concept of “deleting” is one we purposely prevent, to prevent permanent loss of data. If you want to delete it forever, you can do so directly or by making a plugin to do it. In bbPress 2.0, WordPress handles this for us the way you wish for it to.
Regarding posts bleeding into other topics, I’ve never heard of that happening before. Normally if you delete/spam the first post in a topic, it realigns the following posts properly.
Can you give me exact steps to duplicate the issue?
1. Do this
2. Do that
3. Etc?
Please don’t bump topics here. The forums do not move quickly enough to need it.
BuddyPress and bbPress both rely on WordPress’s users tables, and you should be able to use either one. It’s possible that BuddyPress takes over the registration though, so you might need to do some investigating/development to get it working how you’d like it to.
In my CSS (toolbar.css) all things are constrained to #post-toolbar.
It doesn’t do any resizing yet, and may never do. But the toolbar’s FAQ does suggest how to set a max-width using style.
I am going to make the CSS more customisable, just a tad.
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, there may be a WP plugin that fits your needs and will impact the bbPress plugin.
Thanks bro i kind of figured there is only about 3 plugins out for 2.0 so far i guess those will have to do for now
I suggest using the WordPress plugin version of bbPress, version 2.x. bbPress 2.0 uses the same WP theme your site is using. It can also import data from a 1.x installation.
This thread will tell you how to display forum content the easiest way. – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
This thread will tell you how to display forum content in a more customized way. – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility
If you are using bbpress 0.x or 1.x, create and use a my-plugins folder.
If you are using bbpress 2.x, use WordPress plugins instead of bbPress plugins.
