Hi Scheena,
I did it with the following piece of code:
<div id="recent-topics-block">
<?php
if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'latest-topics' );
?>
</div>
You would probably have to look into either, building your own plugin to create the widget (Which you could do quickly by replicating the bbPress widget code) or customize the bbPress widget.
This could also be achieved with css, by having a fixed height and width and then adding overflow hidden, but you would have a little difficulty with the … part.
Good luck!
Hi ! (sorry for my english…)
I would like to use BBPress topics for post plugin, but when i install it all the previous wordpress comments i had in the post are not shown anymore. Only the new comments created with the plugin are shown.
Am i using the right plugin ? another one would do what i need ?
If not, Is there a way to keep those comments in my blog posts and also a way to automatically create topics in the forum using all the old wordpress comments ?
Thx for your help.
Hey, so i have looked for quite a while but couldn’t find anything on this…
So regarding the BBPress widget “Topic Lists” where by it lists (in my case) the 5 newest topics made on my forum. I have made a custom background image for this, but i get a problem when a topic is a long length and it carries on over to 2 lines.
Basically i need a way to limit these topic lengths just on the widget to something like 10 characters long and then “…” so they will stay on 1 line.
Is there a way to do this quickly and easily? I am very new to this, but i am picking things up fast!
Thanks in advance!
bbPress Version 2.0.2
Education Child Theme
I found a solution but am not wild about the method.. In form-topic.php I replaced “bbp_title_max_length” with the desired number of characters, “126”, and that did the trick. I just don’t understand why editing the default characters of bbp_title_max_length didn’t work on its own.
Hi there infolotnicze, Lynq and jareddatch!
bbPress most certainly works on Go Daddy 4GH hosting. 4GH Hosting is a grid based hosting solution, different from our previous standard shared hosting product.
Instead of many users sharing the resources of one server, we not have a cluster of several servers behind a load balancer and a filer that allows for immediate scalability, improved speed and performance.
Please do not hesitate to contact Go Daddy support if you have any questions.
What version of bbPress? What Genesis theme?
@Gautam
1. When creating a post or page I create a relation to a topic-tag, and then use that topic-tag as a “forum” and linking/fetching it on thepost or page itself. Is that what you are saying ? So how could I create a relation from post/page to topic-tag when posting ? Could there be a way to enable topic-tags for the standard post-type perhaps so a meta-box would occur beneath the standard post tag ? Or should I just create another custom taxonomy ?
It is a very good solution, Gautam. Beautiful and simple. Thank you.

Yes, I know. Thanks.
@Lynq
That is an alternative solution, but as pointed out not what I am looking for.
@To the thread
Just to make it clear – I dont want an entire bbpress-installation for every post or page. But some kind of automation, so I would not have to insert a forum manually by shortcode. It is just another way of commenting more focused like in the bottom of amazon.com when you are iewing a book for example.
It is not a big problem as such. But it is obvious to replace the wordpress-comment system which is totally hopeless and lacking for a blogging platform. It is amazing that wordpress doesnt have any creative thoughts on commenting. WordPress should have invented disqus – not disqus. Disqus is really useful – but disqus takes control from you. P2 has some, sure.
Thanks for any input,
Jacob
Lynq and Jaredatch
I think you’re missing his point. He wants an entire forum. Yes a FORUM, not just a topic, created for each post.
An entire bbPress forum.
So that people, within it, can create multiple topics for each blog post.
Ahem.
Although Lynq, I have to say, your profile pic is super fun/cute and romantic. (granted, I don’t know which half of that you are… i’m guessing the non-upside down one.)
I know this is pretty old, but just in case someone else is looking, use the filter hook ‘bbp_get_topic_pagination_links’ to alter the output.
Thanks for the response, Jared. I’m using both BuddyPress and bbPress.
Two things I like to try when attempting to find a problem with bbPress is to:
Switch to a default bbPress theme, like twentyten.
Go to settings > Permalinks and update my permalinks again.
The second one fixes a few issues and the first one lets you know if it is a problem with your template, or a problem with your data.
Good luck!
Are you using BuddyPress or just bbPress?
It should work but historically GoDaddy is not a great host for WordPress sites in general due to speed issues, so I’d use a different one.

Personally I’ve always had good luck with HostGator.
So it looks like the Genesis Connect plugin only impacts buddypress pages… Is there any other file I need to edit in bbpress besides core-functions.php?
wp-admin/nav-menus.php on the left I have options to drag into my menus
Custom links
Pages
Categories
But not forums.
On another site I have the same set up and forums are an option to add to the menu.
Any ideas. Latest version of both bbpress and wp
I changed the default length of forum topics (bbp_title_max_length) in bbpress’ core-functions.php, but it seems to have no effect on the length of topic titles. What I’m wondering is if there is some function in Genesis Connect that may be overriding this change, or something else that may be conflicting? Or any other suggestions? Thanks!
I have hosting with a similar company, they seem fine but my traffic is not very large at the moment.
As with all websites, it will depend on the amount of traffic you receive and the level of hosting you purchase from Godaddy.
When I enable the wordpress plugin, I get the following warning:
Warning: Creating default object from empty value in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-akismet.php on line 693
I think it might be an Issue with PHP 5.4
I have running debian with PHP 5.4.0 an Apache Webserver

I’m using the latest version of bbPress at http://www.mrhensler.com/forums. The forums show up fine, but when I click on them it just takes me to a blank page with a “comments are closed.” Message. Any ideas?
Hello there,
Will bbpress work ok on Godaddy Web Hosting? Will this forum gnerate too much load for a cheap hosting like this?
Regards,
I’m trying to create the author.php file inside wordpress to display user’s profile, latest blog posts and user’s forum activities. Using the snippet below just returns empty data for each user. I’m sure I’m missing something in the snippet and hopefully someone could point me to the right direction.
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' );
// Subscriptions
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'subscriptions' );
// Favorite topics
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'favorites' );
// Topics created
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' );
?>
Thanks.
You can look into something like http://pippinsplugins.com/mark-as-read-for-wordpress/ however it will require some moderate tweaks to work with bbPress I believe.
