Since there’s no Advanced (or similar) Forum I guess I’m supposed to post it here.

I already asked my question here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/66098/only-display-forums-with-specific-taxonomy-bbpress#comment87342_66098 but apparently not much of the bbPress community hangs there.

Apparently my real question in that ticket wasn’t explicit enough so I’ll try to formulate it as clear as possible:

I’m working on an extranet for my company. I’ve added a filter to the WP core query to only show CPT’s with a specific term added to it (from my Client taxonomy, it’s the client’s user nicename). The thing is: this filter doesn’t work for bbPress forums.

I want to add a separate forum per project (ie Client X with Project Y) and clients are only allowed to see the forums that have their specific term attached (so Client X can only view the Client X forums). Unfortunately bbPress still shows all forums on the Forums page and that’s what I need to filter.

I’m sure there is a way to accomplish this, so I’m hoping someone here can push me in the right direction.

No one can help me?

For some reason I did not see replies to this thread so I’ve not been back until now.

Thanks matthiaswh. That solved the problem. And since it’s a membership site for a very small class with only 20 participants at a time, it won’t be a problem for us.

Also for those asking for more details. I originally solved the problem by going back to the previous version of bbpress. Recently I needed to upgrade bbpress to the latest version again because another plugin would only work with the most recent version.

We use imember360 for our membership system and our theme is Twenty Ten.

Not really a plugin per-se, but I’ve created a Python script to archive bbPress content to a mailbox.

The export process is detailed in an article.

hello, I have problems to recognize the new theme bbpress I uploaded to the server, I have installed wordpress 3.4.1 and use the theme goodnews. by default appears to me bbpress bbpress compact and TwentyTen theme.

I downloaded other themes but does not recognize the dropdown menu of settings bbpress

what other options are there?

If you grab the latest v2.1 branch of bbPress from Trac here that fix is included

I would suggest you simply append it to the content of the lead topic.

I want to customize a topic that is closed. It was easy to find the css class for a topic that was closed, but I cannot for for the life of me find what php file is executing that class. I want to add an extra column with the string “[Resolved]” next to the name of the topic to make it more intuitive for my users. The website with an example of a closed topic is: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/forums/forum/submitted-features/

I am running Wp v3.4.2 and bbPress v2.1.2

[judy1950]

I have a WordPress site (3.4.2) which uses a premium theme that I want to keep. I just activated the BBPress plugin (ver 2.1.2) and created a forum and topic etc. The forum and topic pages appear and look ok, but I would like to customize the template and css that is being used in this. I am finding BBP documentation on this somewhat confusing.

My Plan: I will create my own BBP template based on page.php from my main theme and modify the layout etc.

To implement this new template I create, I am guessing that I can replace $new_template (shown below; code taken from bhp-template-loader.php (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes) with the name of my new template, such as “bbp-new-page.php”). Is this correct?

// bbPress template file exists
if ( !empty( $new_template ) ) {

    // Override the WordPress template with a bbPress one
    $template = $new_template;

And to modify the css, I can simply hack “bbpress.css” (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/
bbp-theme-compat/css/bbpress.css)?

This approach seems really hacky/inelegant however.

On a slightly separate note, it appears that implementing the steps for theme-compatibility (http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility) are necessary only if you are going to use a single (custom) theme (or child theme?) for both WP and BBP?

Finding it a little confusing to untangle the methods and their purposes in BBP theming.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Dead link.

I should mention that having to go to a forum, then a topic, then a post, then clicking on the username from there is not intuitive and a poor workaround to getting to the bbPress profile.

[on3advertising]

There is a common disconnect between the WP user profile and bbPress. It’s not integrated. Right now if the user registers with the bbPress registration, then logs in, it takes them to the WordPress profile page. This isn’t good for branding. First of all, it takes them ‘out’ of the site into a WordPress profile (confusing them right off the bat), which has the WordPress logo and WordPress backend style. At this point, a non-WP user doesn’t know what to do to get back to the site.

Is there a clean, easy way to redirect the “Profile” link back to the bbPress profile and prevent them from ever hitting the WordPress brand? The site needs to feel consistent and well-thought out without this random user flow.

The website I’m working on is: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum

Hello:
I’ve just started using wordpress and needed a good forum. I opted for BBPress and so far works fine. I am just tweaking it a bit and would like to disable the Reply to: in the Topics section. My particular test site will not need this and I wish to keep the area tidy.

** I posted this in WordPress (Plugins & Hacks) but didn’t get any response. Not sure if I was in the wrong place? **
Thanks

netweb, that was the other widget I tried. I created a support topic on that one as well. Both widgets behave identically., which lead me to believe it could be a bbPress specific issue.

jared, thanks for the ticket reference. I hope they come out with something soon. Right now, I can’t figure out a workaround.

[nbtetreault]

Thx. It’s what I was looking for.

I was confused because I didn’t found any bbpress theme to “install” and test.

[modemlooper]

I’m working on BuddyPress mobile and BP uses bbPress. You will be able to use BP mobile if you only have bbPress installed.

[Kr3m1in]

Is there anywhere I can change the WordPress theme’s page template that bbPress uses for all forum pages? Here’s what I’m talking about:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18187962/this.jpg

I need to use the template “page without sidebar” rather than the default template.

The goal is to get rid of the sidebar here and expand the forum to the width of the page: Forum

I ended up using tinyMce Advanced and it worked perfectly! Thanks for helping me out.

Noone? :/

Hi, im having a problem with BBPress. After a user posts a Reply to a topic or create a new one after the user clicks in post button the user is redirected back to the home page of my website insted of keeping on the thopic.

How can i fix it?

[Tanya]

Thanks @Ronelico. I will have a look at these 🙂

[Ronileco]

In BBPress 2.0.2 version I had to integrate the native editor by myself but in the latest BBPress you can use any tinyMCE editor enhancer to change and customise the editor.
Take a look at those WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/

This will change all tinyMCE editors on the site, but you can create a dedicated editor for the forums comment.

Thanks Pip. Starting to make some progress. I’ve been playing around with some other filters and beginning to explore, I can see how to manipulate various components of a post.

But I’ve hit a brick wall, do you know how to insert something between the first and second post for example?

My goal is to inject a “dummy post” which had the same template as a normal post but contained my own message.

Many thanks.

[kiwichick]

In case anyone else is looking for the answer to this, the delightful Pippin directed me to a free plugin that works with Restrict Content Pro to allow this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-content-pro-bbpress/

Hey,

I’m running Version 3.4.2 of WordPress, with Version 2.1.2 of bbPress.
When I’m logged into the site as a Forum Participant, I can see the forums and topics, but when I actually click on the topics to view the content (i.e. the actual topic post and replies), all that appears is “This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by…” as well as the “Reply” form underneath that. The actual posts and replies don’t appear.

However, when I’m logged in as an administrator, I am able to see everything (it all functions normally).

Do you know why a normal forum user can’t see posts and replies? How can I go about fixing the issue?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Laura.
