OK, but bbpress is running with
Custom root slugs to prefix your forums and topics with. These can be partnered with WordPress pages to allow more flexibility.
how I can find my page ID because forum based is “discussions” and I don’t have page name with “discussions”
Thank’s for help

… might not be to use bbpress at all.
I have a standalone bbpress that I would love to import & integrate. I assumed that the “forum” would be a category on my wp install, and the topics subcategories, and the forum posts seen as wp posts and comments.
This would allow my wp site to act as neither blog nor forum but a truly integrated website, with everyone acting like an author, and a central way for me to control the content flow.
But from my explorations I discovered that it doesn’t work this way at all. Forum posts are not wp posts, there’s still 2 separate systems in this “integrated” model. So the comments on my wp install have a different codebase than the comments/replies in my forum, for example.
I’m considering totally tricking out one of the many form plugins (Gravity Forms, etc) to create “posts” in the “forum” category in my wp install. So the whole concept of the forum is nothing more than having logged in users create guest posts in a truly integrated wp install.
Just curious if anyone has done this — I can’t be the first guy to think of this idea. The biggest drawback so far is that i would need to find a way to import the posts in my old standalone forum to become posts in my new setup.

I gave up, and never solved it.
no, there is no file like that.
Do you have a single-forum.php file in the theme?
No, there is not a bbPress version of 2011, but Twenty Eleven is fully compatible. I’ve used it several times.
I downloaded new twenty eleven (it’s for wordpress only, there is nothing about bbpress support) and it’s still the same, you can see it now. Is there twenty eleven made by both bbpress and wordpress teams just like twentyten?
Thanks! I hope we can reslove the problem soon
Log into your WordPress admin, go to Pages, click Edit on the page you want, then look at the URL. The post=xx part will show you the page ID, which you can then use in your code:
if( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_page( xx ) ) {
// use get_permalink() to get the URL.
}
OK first read about short codes here.
Basically a short code is a place holder for content (html, images, posts, etc). When you place [bbp-forum-index] into the content of a page, it will be replaced automatically with an index of your forums in bbPress. Try it out and you’ll see what I mean.
Well some one has modified it. The theme you are using is not default Twenty Elevent. The HTML markup has changed a little and it’s causing the problem.
Switch to the default Twenty Eleven and see if that fixes the alignment. If it does, then add your colors back in.
Hello,
I want to add a link with the “pagetitle” of bbpress forum page.
bbpress is running in a wordpress page but how I can find it? where it is?
I want to past a simply code as
if ( !is_user_logged_in()&&is_page('???') ) {my link...
thank you for helping.
WP: 3.4.1
bbpress: 2.1.2
theme: Frisco for BuddyPress
Hi there!
So, I have installed bbPress to do forums on my site, howtosurvivehosting.com. However whenever I try to create a topic, it says that the page does not exist. Please can someone tell me why this is and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance
If you need any css files or other I can copy the code here.
only colors of the forums were modified to fit the website, nothing else. The problem occured even before any modifications were made. any modifications made to both bbp and wo are only changed colors so i think thats not the prob. Can you help to reslove the problem? thank you
Is this plugin BBpress compatible? I am trying to use it to set forced_root_block to false, but it seems to do nothing. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
I’ll update this topic when it’s available. Until then, assume it’s not.
For what it’s worth, bbPress.org uses less than 500 extra lines of HTML and CSS to look how it does compared to an out-of-the-box install. Pretty minimal planning and effort goes a long way.
I appreciate the links. I am not very techie though and its kinda like hieroglyphics , I dont speak that language. Also I have found other non bbPress stuff without any instructions only statements of what can be accomplished. I am not trying to bash or be sarcastic I am somewhat limited by my lack of technical computer knowledge.
No there is not any paid support for bbPress. It’s all volunteer.
Can you provide a live URL? The problem should be able to be fixed with a little bit of CSS.
Only users with upload capability are allowed to embed images by default. I’d recommend that you install the GD bbPress Attachments plugin for this as it will give the option for users to upload images.
It looks like you’re using a modified version of Twenty Eleven. The widgets in that page template are supposed to be on the side, but the modifications made to the theme have broken that.
Did you do the mods or have someone do it for you?
There’s a lack of documentation at the moment because the site is being redone (slowly) and the individuals responsible for the majority of the documentation are also the main developers, who are busy writing code 😀
The location of the forums on your site depend on the settings you have set in Settings > Forums. Take a look at the documentation for basic settings.
You can also manually place the forums index on any regular WordPress page by using the [bbp-forum-index] short code. Short code reference.
@Danwp23 Hello, I was having this same issue when I came upon your post. I had not tried changing the permalinks yet but did and had the same successful result as you (no 404). I changed the permalinks back to the post name structure then changed the theme package under the forum settings to Twenty Ten instead of bbPress Default. Refreshed the forum page and IT WORKED! The only conclusion I can make is there may be a issue with the bbPress Default theme package and some custom themes. Let me know if this works for you, hope so!
Apparently not, and I have the same question. How do I get the forum to appear anywhere on my website, since every theme maker says they’re bbpress compatible???
