Thanks netweb for the advice. Unfortunately I have no idea how to modify the file 🙁

Thank you.

Concerning the issues they’ve been missing since the day I installed BBpress.

[johnjack]

Evening All
The bbpress plugin for wordpress is amazing! Big thanks to the guys who put it together.
I have a small issue that I am sure is more a newbie thing rather than anything big.
My forums are showing as post on my blog site rather than using the ‘page template’. I can use the shortcode to make certain section initialy show on a page however when ever you click on a topic it takes you back to a post template (with all the post written by, tags etc etc).
Is there anyway to make the plugin use a page template rather than a post?
I am using the Arras Theme at the moment (which could be part of the problem)
Any help would be fab

Thanks

JohnJack

From what you have described you would be better off using a support ticket system instead of a forum. There are a number of really good ticket systems available for WordPress and they do pretty much exactly what you are asking for. Better to do that, than to try and shoehorn bbPress into doing something it was never designed to do.

[John James Jacoby]

Anything is possible.

You’ll want to research WordPress login plugins, if you want more control over the login page than what bbPress provides. You can use the login form shortcode, but that won’t prevent people from navigating to wp-login.php directly.

Here is that the special forum for users of bbpress?

Hello everyone!

I put my question differently:

Why any visitor can open a topic and write a response, while only REGISTERED users (username + password) will have access to the box for reply notification by mail?

To date, no response obtained in any forum, and no plugin found …

If anyone can help me …

Hey guys,

I have a premium theme currently installed on my site and I would like to add a bbpress forum to it.

I would like to however make it so no one ever needs to see the wp-login.php.

How do I do it so whenever someone clicks on login or register, they see a custom page with the relevant fields?

I want to do something similar to http://www.swnk.org/forums/

They have it integrated beautifully, EXCEPT when you click on login and it redirects you to wp-login.php which I don’t want. I want an error to pop up immediately (maybe with ajax/javascript?) so users are never ever sent to wp-login.php.

Is this possible? Thanks guys.

[Anointed]

Anything is posible, but NO, out of the box there is no way to achieve what you are after. Meaning the needed logic is not built into bbPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Looks good…

Are the ‘missing pagination’ and ‘missing text when editing a reply’ custom template issues or do you think they are bbPress related?

[Anointed]

The theme on this site is a custom theme, though with a little css work it can be done. Meaning there is nothing on this site that is ‘ultra’ custom which would require difficult programming levels. Pretty much a basic understanding of css and a little bit of html and you can easily get it to look like this. But NO, out of the box it does not look like this.

[Gary3000]

This has been asked several times, and the answer was that it’s a custom theme they created just for bbPress.org, and that it may at some point in the future be released publicly.

[Anointed]

There is not currently a shortcode capable of doing this.

HOWEVER!!
There is a way of accomplishing this and so much more with a plugin.

If you have ever had to deal with multisite and switch_to_blog() before, then this plugin is going to blow your mind away. Hands down my #1 rated plugin of the year 🙂

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to JJ and to say thank you very much for all the help you have been.

I’ve got to say, that JJ really went out of his way this week in helping me with my installation of bbPress. I’m talking a level of help that I would never expect from anyone and it was greatly appreciated.

To many times, especially in this forum, there are just a lot of unhappy people leaving mean messages as they are frustrated with their individual issues. I wanted to take a moment out of my day to publicly say Thank You for all the hard work you do on these forums and this software. There is no way bbPress would be anywhere near what it is today without you and I for one appreciate the hard work you put into this.

Just know your hard work and dedication to this project is appreciated.

I’ve removed all the breadcrumb calls in every template file but they still show up. I can’t use the filter because I have the call in header.php. Any idea why this isn’t working? For now I just solved it with CSS, but would like to know where the hook is.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-home, 
# bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-root,
# bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-separator,
# bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb-current { display: none; }

I love the layout: http://bbpress.org/forums/ The forums on the left, and a big Latest Topics are on the right. Tags and such in the left too. I keep reinstalling my bbPress but no matter what I do, I cannot get my forums to show up like this. See here:

http://covenantvoice.com/forums/

I just want to fix the layout. Any idea on what I’m doing wrong? I’m using the very latest bbPress, 2.1.2.

I was thinking the shortcode could include the site id. Something like this:

[bbp-single-forum siteid=2 id=32]

I am not sure if that is possible.

Hi guys,

We’ve recently switched from phpBB3 to BBpress and so far so good. I wanted to personally thank everyone on these forums for their tutorials and hacks that have helped us create the forums we were looking for. I also want to thank all of you that have worked on the BBpress plugin itself. It was difficult at times switching from phpBB3 and customizing BBpress but it was definitely worth it. Our site still has a few bugs like missing Pagination on the Topics pages and missing text when editing replies but those should be fixed soon.

You can check out our new forums at http://ShadowedMare.com/forums.

Thanks again! You guys are great!

[glimmerguy]

I have the same issue. The sidebar is cutting off all the RH text of people’s forum posts plus hiding the all-important Submit button. What were once very robust forums in Drupal are now dead in the water in WordPress due to this issue.

I want all the forum pages and posts to be full-width, like the main forums page where I placed the short code. I’m willing to pay someone to help resolve this, since I don’t know how to do coding or create child themes, and can’t use the Genesis plugin since I’m not using a Genesis framework. Any links anyone can point to for help? Thanks. (By the way I now see that this very forum suffers a bit from the same issue—the message box is cut off on the right and the green Submit button is partially cut off—but at least people can see it.)

We are adding forums to an existing site rather than having a site that is 100% forums. I already have a breadcrumb set up for the main site but the forums don’t show up in them. Since the bbPress breadcrumb functions are significantly more complex than the simple breadcrumbs I currently use I decided to use bbPress’ crumbs in place of the main one. I have successfully modified the function to include category and single page data in the crumbs (without having “forums” as the base) but the blog root disappears. Help? Here’s what I added to ** Current Text **

// Category Page
if (is_category() || is_single()) {
    the_category(' » ');
    if (is_single()) {
        echo " » ";
        the_title();
    }

That omitted the blog root from the crumbs, so I tried this, which didn’t work either.

if (is_category() || is_single()) {
    $pre_current_text[] = '<a href="' . trailingslashit( home_url() ) . '">Front Row</a>' . the_category(' &raquo; ');
    if (is_single()) {
        echo " &raquo; ";
        the_title();
    }

I’m not really sure what I’m doing here. I’m no function whiz.

Hi locomo,
Do you know if there is a bbpress hook that you could add checked to that field?

UPDATE: After making sure it wasn’t a plugin-compatibility issue, I refreshed my permalinks via the instructions here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-not-working/.

And it worked!

[ashleyschroeder]

I’m having this exact same problem, too. Only, for me, this issue has appeared out of nowhere on an existing install. I’m running bbpress on another website and compared the backend settings; it’s working on one site, but not the other.

[Stephen Edgar]

Nice work, thanks for sharing it.

[kristinachilds]

I’ve installed this plugin and the admin side works perfectly. I am able to create forums, topics, replies, etc, however it doesn’t not show up on the actual site. At all. Even when I click the “preview forum” or “view forum” buttons, the browser tells me that link doesn’t exist. It’s a 404 error.

I’ve checked all the settings and they are all public and seem to be correct… Though as an admin I should be able to see them all anyway.

I’m on WordPress 3.4.2 with bbPress 2.1.2
