Add the following code to your functions.php

function forum_icons() {
	if ( 'forum' == get_post_type() ) {
		global $post;
	    if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
	    	echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail',array('class' => 'alignleft'));
	 }
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_forum_title','forum_icons');

Hope it helps 😉

Good day!

I’m unable to create group forum from the buddypress group admin page. Below it says “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/stigafnx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 308”

I have disabled buddypress own forum, and also choosen Group Forums Parent.

Can you please advice?

Thank you

I am using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress. After I installed my bbpress, created categories and forum and created a link to the index it won’t move up or down. I click on the link and it takes my to a page that doesn’t have a bbpress sidebar but it has a wordpress sidebar. I can’t move up or down in my forum. I read somewhere that my theme may not be compatible with bbpress WP Tweaks. Also, not all of my forum is showing. Where it say freshness is being squeezed to the left of my screen. How can I get all of my forum to show up on one page,how can I get my forum to move up and down and is there a way to have my forum show up in a separate window or page. In otherwords, I don’t want my wordpress sidebar to show up on my bbpress forum page.

That is the default configuration of bbpress, you cannot omit the /topic/ as it will always coming back and besides that points to a discussion or specific topic of the page. According to my friend from seo gold coast Australia, it is part of the systematic method for bbpress to have that one.

Have the same problem,I was attracted by the title!

BBpress has reduced the text editor to a minimal one that is really sub-par, in my opinion. I would really like to use something like a TinyMCE version that works for all of the users. There is this one, set up for bbpress, but only authors and above see it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

We are an arts org and we need to have good ways to share visual content. I loaded GD BBPress Attachments which is fine for uploading images and docs, but you can’t insert them into the text: http://www.dev4press.com/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

I found this one: http://premiumsoftware.net/CLEditor/Index, but it’s not as nice as the TinyMCE ones that I’ve used and it shows the bbpress one (the minimal one) right above it, so that is confusing, too. Do you have any recommendations of what would work well for us?

Site: http://www.tafaforum.com/
We’re using the latest updates of bbPress, etc.

I’m pretty savvy (even though I don’t write code) and I don’t even know what “ol” means, much less the other artists who are using our forum…

[Rachel Biel]

I have a problem and I don’t know if it is related to BuddyPress or BBPress and it’s made it very confusing for our users. The same thread shows up in the three pages: Activity Streams, Group Home Page and Group Forum Page. I have deactivated the sitewide Forums as I think it is confusing enough without it. So, we are focusing on having Group topics and discussing within them. But, because the thread shows up in all three places and can be replied to in any of them, one would think that the replies would follow through on all of the pages where the thread is displayed.

I think that this might have something to do with nested replies. They show up on the Activity Streams (if one replies on that page) and on the Group Home page, but they don’t follow through on the forum. You can see it here: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/blogging-general/ Members are supposed to register their blogs on the Topic page of the forum: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/blogging-general/forum/topic/register-your-blog-here/ Most did not understand that they should go to their page and just added their blogs to the Home page of that group. I replied with “Added” for the ones that I added to the RSS Feed (http://www.tafaforum.com/tafamemberblogs/) But, my “Added” reply does not show up on the Forum Topic version of the same thread.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? It makes things very confusing.

I don’t want to mess with code so if you have suggestions, please make them for what can be done within the BBPress or BuddyPress options….

I’ve been digging around in the code and it seem like it’s impossible to make a user type that can view a forum but not post in it. Am I missing something?

It seems like a user’s ability to post/reply is global. Is there any way to quickly accomplish this?

My goal:

A user type that can view public and private forums, but only post in public.

I was originally attempting to add a new forum type, but quickly realized it was out of scope for the timeframe I’m looking to accomplish this in. That said, regardless of whether or not I add a new forum type, or repurpose existing types, I’m at a brick wall if there’s no way to check posting privileges in an individual forum. Has anyone tackled this issue already? I love the simplicity of bbPress and really want to avoid having to use a more fleshed out forum package, but this is a very necessary feature.

[Yoav Rheims]

Is that the solution?

[yanseo]

+1 for this as I’m also trying to remove the avatar from the same line which I know how but editing the core file isn’t advisable.

Have you found the right way to do it via function that will overwrite the bbpress template-tag function?

Thanks!

[Nate]

Days have gone without any admin addressing, well, anything, and even more days allowing spam to clutter the forum. If you’re going to let bbPress die, at least have the good nature to let everyone know. In the meantime, hello Vanilla ~

[peter-hamilton]

This is the single most important update/plugin I am waiting/hoping for.
Would make bbpress more like the VBulletin and IPBoard.

AM still looking to solve this.

[januzi]

Hi

I’ve got a problem with custom functions. I would like to modify tag link, but I can’t find proper file to put add_filter in. I tried functions.php in the:
template directory, bbpress/, bbp-themes-compat/, bbp-themes/, bbp-twentyten/, but with no luck. I also created my-plugins/plugin.php but where do I find that plugin in the wordpress admin menu?

Second question: is that bbp_get_tag_link or something else? I can’t find proper documentation for that.

[jperater]

I have Mystique theme 3.3.2 and I wanted to install bbpress on my site http://nikolaandi.com/

When I created a forum in bbpress, it just shows blank page. Is this an issue with bbpress compatability on the theme? I have bbpress 2.3.2.

Thanks

[henryclarke10]

We are considering using bbPress for a project. Is it possible to setup nested comments similar to the following example, ideally using bbPress settings?: http://screencast.com/t/pHi1Hjka

Hi all,

I wonder to know how to add the featured image on the blog index. I searched for previous enquiries about that subject but not found an answer.

The forum page where to add the featured image: http://www.battlefield-france.com/beta/forum

Thanks for your help!

Why hasn’t anyone gotten back with a suggestion at least lol? I’m having the same issue. bbPress is supposed to create three custom post types to get the user started creating a forum, and I don’t see the three either. And it isn’t just a theme issue. I’ve installed on three separate themes and it has always failed to produce the three custom post types.

[hans.azhar]

any example?

[Cory]

We started a forum on a WP blog using custom post-types as the forum posts, giving users front-end access to a post box. We’ve decided to move to using bbPress for the forum.

We have two instances of WP. One currently using the custom post types, and another we’re developing with BuddyPress and bbPress. When it’s time to switch to our new system, we want to keep the conversations that were created in the custom post types, and convert them to bbPress topics.

I’ve found a few plugins that claim to convert posts to bbPress topics, but the primary issue I’ve run into is that these scripts and/or plugins do not bring the post’s comments along as well.

I need my custom posts and comments to become bbPress topics and replies.

Looking at the plugins, it seems I just need to change the post types in the database to the correct types (eg., ‘custom-post’ and ‘comment’ into ‘topic’ and ‘reply’). If we get into the database to make those changes, should that work? Or is there something further we need to do?

Other ideas?

[Hansaplastique]

This “topic” was also discussed in an older (2 years old) Post.
But no clarification how “safe” it is to remove the mod_security rule for particular bbPress links (which ones, anyone?).

[Hansaplastique]

Since bbPress sanitizes a post, is it save to disable the mod_security rule (for forum pages only) concerning the SQL injection rules?

(what do you do on this forum?)

[Hansaplastique]

Alright found the cause of this issue: mod_secure is catching it 🙁

Any way to make this work without compromising security?
(ie. the bbpress.org server seems to be fine with posting this)

[jralston]

I am attempting to import bbpress 1 forum into the new bbpress plugin on a new site using the Import Forums tool in WordPress. I successfully did this in a test – once. I tried to do another test and haven’t been able to do it again successfully. When I start the conversion I get the yellow box at the bottom “Starting Conversion” and the turning wheel… the wheel keeps turning… an hour later, it’s still turning. It’s not progressing. I have to quit out of it. There is no new data in the DB. What is the issue here?

[nolimit966]

Hi there,
I am new to BBPress & would like to know the answer to a few questions please.

1: My current WordPress website uses a 3rd party plugin called “Capability Manager Enhanced” which allows my visitors to register to access specific content. I have created and named these user catagories:
Light
Standard
Professional users

I have created 3 forums on BBPress with the name names – Light, Standard and Professional customer forums. Will it be possible to use a 3rd party plugin to only allow specific user roles to access one of these forums?

Thank you

[daivdwhite]

It just a plugin for WordPress!
