HELP! I have been searching everywhere for help on how to do this, and I can’t seem to find anything that actually helps me. I have a forum made, but I really want it to show up in the navigation bar as a ‘page’ so the public can easily access it. I am using the ZeeStyle theme, WordPress 3.4.2, and bbPress 2.2.

I am pulling out my hair because I’ve been looking for days on how to do this and nothing has helped. If someone out there can help me, I will jump for joy and be extremely thankful!

Oh, and please try to give me the simplest way possible, because I am new at this website making thing!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Thanks for the reply however I don’t have such dropdown. The only dropdown I see is the default WordPress role dropdown and not one specific for bbPress.

Hi Stephen,
and thanks for answer.
I’ll try the solution proposed in that thread (I tried to look out before post here but without a search function I wasn’t able to find out that thread) even if seems more oriented on SP 4.+ and BBPress 1.+, hope that works anyway.
In any case if, as you say, isn’t so difficult to adapt the existent importer (and seems that there is enough need of this), what about someone skilled, to integrate this feature to the “native” function?
I’ll update with results of the operation.
Thanks

Hi, I’ve done searching and couldn’t find anything related specifically to my issue with bbpress… I’m running the latest bbpress with WordPress 3.4.2 for my forum on my blog.

My forums are located here: http://wrtapps.com/forums/
The problem is the title of the forums page below the menu bar. It shows the title as “General discussion” which so happens to be the last forum page I saved in my dashboard. Previously it was showing the title as “Troubleshooting”… How do I change this to a custom title?

Thanks!

Widget and shortcode are not so “themable” like I would. WP_QUERY is right, but then I cannot use bbp_* in my file.

What I want is use every BBP Functions inside my, eg, single.php: show author, show forums, show topic simple calling bbp_**

How bbp_has_forums() works? It loads the functions ouside the BBP pages?

Regards, Francesco.

I noticed a recent bbPress update touted improved Multisite flow support – any progress on this issue?

Doesn’t look like it from my initial testing, but fingers are crossed hoping something official is in the works.

Can anyone tell me to go about creating additional fields for my users to fill in upon signing up? Right now users only seem to need to provide a name and an email address. I would like to create a database of users’ addresses, phone numbers, profession… things like that.

So how to I make it available for users to add this type of information when they sign up?

I’m using the most recent versions of WP and BBpress as of Nov 27 2012

Thanks in advance for any help.

When new forums are created, they display with an attribution to the forum creator. That is not something I want for forums; topics yes but not forums. Is this being done by bbPress or is it my theme (Genesis – News) doing it?

[Stephen Edgar]

There currently is not a ‘native’ Simple:Press import tool for bbPress 2.x

If you are comfortable with databases you could try ‘rolling your own’ by modifying the ‘example reference template’ for the bbPress 2.x import tool. You just need to match the correct database tables and field names in the ‘from’ sections of the template. The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/

Also there is this topic thread that a few have had success with converting Simple:Press to bbPress https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/v2-simple-press-importer-and-first-thoughts/

Have a read of these three pages from the docs:

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

Hi, I am having a problem with bbPress since 2.1 with the translation.
Some parts of the plugin dont get the correct translation like:
– Admin area
Forum => All Forums
=> New Forum
Topics => All topics
=> New Topic
Replies => All Replies
=> New Replies

“Replies Created” in user profile

Widget in admin area:
Discussions Users & Moderation
1 Fórum 3 Usuários
1 Topic 0 Hidden Topic
0 Replies 0 Hidden Reply
1 Topic Tag 0 Empty Topic Tag

The other parts are fine, but these dont load the translation. Any help?

Thanks

So I just installed the latest bbPress 2.2.2 and see that all my users have no role set for the forum so I then proceed to use the remap tool to set them a default of participant. This all worked fine however, it also switched my admin account to participant also instead of keymaster. So my question is how do we apply the keymaster role back to the admin?

[Halo Diehard]

Well, I’ve created a page and am using the shortcode and it seems to bypass the issue. For anybody having this layout trouble, the shortcodes can be found here:

I too am having problems

Ive installed bbpress2.2.2 onto my self hosted wordpress site and cant get the forum page integrated, I can use an url redirect but I need a sidebar to show user login/registration.

any assistance ?

[rsanchez1]

It will not override your front page. It will add new pages. When you install it, you can check the Forum Settings page to see the slugs for the pages it will add, and change them as necessary.

Hi all,
the new BBpress version is quite interesting and I’m evaluating to pass a Simplepress 5.1.4 forum (with 60k posts) to BBPress 2.2.2 but cannot find an importer/migrator.
Did I missed something or it doesn’t exists? and, in case, any advice how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

Mac

Also, will my current sidebar and header still be used/integrated with this?

[blakeab84]

Hi, I have an existing wordpress blog and I would like to have bbPress integrated with it. Meaning, I would like to install the bbPress plugin and it not effect my current them. I would like to just link to the forum where my existing users can user their already made usernames and passwords on the forum. When I install this plugin, will it make a new page or will it over-ride my current front page?

I’m a bit confused and I’m not wanting to mess anything up, but I would really like to integrate a forum for my members. Thanks.

[psiggy]

Hi all!

I would like to ask for help. My forum is displaying list of topics at the main forums page. Exactly as it’s done here on bbpress.org. Difference is, that pagination links on bbpress look like: “http://bbpress.org/topics/page/2/”, while the same in my case would look like: “http://bbpress.org/forums/forum/forum-2/page/2/”.

Any ideas how can I fool the pagination links?

[plannerguy]

@JJJ – need help in the same regard.

I’m using amember and not s2member – and I need to block users from bbpress when their subscription becomes inactive (which means they are assigned a WP role of “amember expired” by amember).

Will JJJ’s code or tzelding88’s code above achieve this? Will it sustain mapping so that when a user’s WP role changes, bbpress’s role changes as well?

Many thanks.

Hello,

Could someone help with a solution to this eror?

I have last versions of Buddypress and bbPress running on WordPress 3.4.2

Every time I submit a new topic or a reply to an existing topic in bbPress forum I get ‘Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects wordpress’

I couldn’t find any answer/solution to this problem.

Thanks

Ok , so it’s a bit of physician heal thyself but here’s how I fixed in case other people are having the problem.

I found this:

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

which shows how to create a custom bbpress.css in 2.0 and later.  Then I changed line 62 to be:

list-style-type:   inherit /* was ‘none’ */;

(basically took out the none override for basic list elements).

Seems like overkill to have a complete copy of bbpress.css just to change one line but I could not find another place to override it.  Tried playing around with trying a skeleton bbpress.css that @import’ed the default one but didn’t have much success with that.

Anyways, issue has been resolved, thanks!

regards, Paul

bbPress is now a plugin for WordPress. That means that it doesn’t run without an install of WordPress.

As for the design; that’s entirely up to you. You can go with the default bbPress styles, use a WordPress theme that overrides them or apply your own CSS and make the forums totally original. I recommend having a good read of the bbPress 2.0+ documentation.

[John James Jacoby]

“Member” is a role created by BuddyPress when activating the old forums component. It’s possible it got wiped out during an activation or update process.
