Copy the template files to your themes root: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Found answer in shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Daniel J. Lewis]

I’m also interested in this, especially with allowing my forum members to use some BBcodes, like spoiler, b, i, and others. (I transitioned from a phpBB board, so I want to make a smooth transition for my users.)

I’ve been looking for a plugin to do this, but haven’t found anything. I’m thinking of making a simple plugin to do this by popping up a window (via jQuery) that will take the content of their post editor and display it with my CSS and processing the shortcodes. It sounds easy to me, but I could be really wrong.

The widget called bbpress topics views list has some links broken and I have no idea how to fix it. Some links work others are returning no results when they should be

the links that are working and not working are as follows
Most popular topics – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/popular/
Topics with no replies – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/no-replies/
Topics with most replies – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/most-replies/
Latest topics – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/latest-topics/
Search Results – Not Working (not sure what this anyway) – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/search/
New posts since last visit – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-visits/
New posts: Last day – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-day/
New posts: Last week – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-week/
New posts: Last month – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-month/

As you know these links are integral to communication so having them returning no results when there are plenty of replies on my site is infuriating.

Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

Hello,

Just installed bbpress for the first time. I am unable to find the ‘forums list’ page. Nothing shows up in menus, page templates, or accessing the root url directly (domain.com/forum/).

Do we need to create a custom page and loop through the custom post type ourselves? I assumed this would come out of the box :/

Thanks!

I would like to know the same…

[irperera]

guys

I’m new to bbpress, my problem may be simple to other, but its twisting my mind.

anyways

once bbpress is installed, you have the links for forum at domain.com/forums, which shows all the categories. i would like the sidebar to be a different one from the default one. how do i go about doing this.

i cannot get the sidebar to change at all.

thanks

Ian

So is this a problem I am having or an actual bug?

[markusloffler]

Hi all,
I installed the latest version of wordpress and then bbpress on top of it.

How do I install themes, like the ones that can be found here: http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes/page/2? I searched through the web, but I couldn’t figure out how.

[home1985]

If yes, could you please kinldy provide some information to us?? Thx

[Zachary DuBois]

So, I am just noticing that when you post to a forum on another site on your activity isn’t updated. Also, your topics aren’t shown on your profile if you made them on a different site on the same network.

My problems:

• Activity isn’t updated for new topics and replies made on other networked sites.
• On your BuddyPress profile under forums, it does not show topics you have made on other networked sites.

Any way to fix these? Or should I submit a bug report. I just want to make sure it is a bug.

[Daniel J. Lewis]

I figured this out. I had to add this in my bbpress_functions:

function my_topic_class($classes) {
	$classes[] = 'test-class';
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','my_topic_class' );

[Daniel J. Lewis]

This was never quite answered. How is bbpress.org running a page that lists all the threads in order of freshness?

Hi;

I have a theme WP 3.51 which uses bbpress 2.3.2 for the group forums and I would like to modify the GUI for the forums : how change and customize the look for the group forums in my theme (modify the css, javascript of bbprees).

Regards;

[Koen]

Hi bbPress people,

I’m currently working on a designers portal. I’ve installed buddypress and bbPress and made a forum. But when I click on the Forum tab in a group I only see “This forum contains 2 topics, and was last updated by”. How can I make it look normal (like here; a list)?

Thanks for your help!

Is it easy for you to summarise what “extra” you found out that would help others searching this forum in future?

[Zé Fontainhas]

From https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2151 ,here’s a quick hack to turn bbPress activity recording on, on sites that have the Discourage search engines option checked. Put this somewhere in functions.php or in your own plugin’s code:

<?php

add_filter( 'bbp_is_site_public', 'yourownprefix_enable_bbp_activity', 10, 2);

function yourownprefix_enable_bbp_activity( $public, $site_id ) {
	return true;
}

?>

[Zé Fontainhas]

I was having the exact same problem, and yes un-checking Discourage search engines from indexing this site, does make bbPress activity start being recorded.

As to why this is so and if the behaviour is intended, your guess is as good as mine. If it *is* intended, I am extremely curious to know the twisted logic that dictated this implementation.

[Marcin Biegun]

1. create bbpress directory in your theme directory
2. copy there loop-single-forum.php from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
3. add wherever you wish the image to appear:
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post_id, 'full'); ?>

[Erlend]

Today I had a guest post published on WP Tavern which is largely about bbPress. It also talks about functionality like @ddean ‘s Topics for Posts plugin.

Dear Automattic: You Are Losing The Debate

[Xarcell]

I think I figured it out on my own…

[Xarcell]

There are several tutorials on ow to create your own bbpress theme to work with your wp child theme, but none of them work. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me how to do it?

I’m planning on making a WordPress theme that also works with buddyPress and bbPress. However, I cannot figure out how to create a custom bbPress theme that will be installed with my WP theme.

Thanks.

@aaclayton – currently using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/

yes this plugin does add a meta key to each post for tracking unread status. Do you know of a better plugin that does this in a more elegant fashion?
