WordPress runs post slugs through a sanitization filter to make sure there are no collisions. As such, no two slugs can be the same, regardless of the type of content that it is.

[Lynq]

No problem at all, I didn’t like the formatting either lol.

[Jarret]

Made a few edits to use syntax highlighting and section headings, hope you don’t mind!

[Jarret]

Yeah, had to help with that just last night. I checked your doc page though regarding bbp_list_forums and the formatting is a bit off making it hard to read for those still learning.

[Lynq]

Awesome, it works!

[Jared Atchison]

You should be able to login here https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin/ with your bbPress username/pass.

Then just head to pages.

[Lynq]

I am probably being stupid, but I can not see where I can contribute on any of the codex pages?

[Lynq]

Ooooh, cool!

Can we create more documentation? I notice the same question on the forums over and over again about the bbp_list_forums, removing the commas. I was thinking about explaining the bbp_list_forums function for templating?

[Jared Atchison]

Yep! Anyone can login and edit that page or contribute to other pages on the codex

[Lynq]

Is there any where we can go to help contribute to the list?

[Lynq]

I am sure there is a better solution, but you could use something like

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' );

Then use some css to remove everything except the avatars.

Hi fritz, et al…

Fritz… I have no idea what you are talking about.

None of our videos stop halfway and you never have to pay to watch any of them?

I suggest you try again and also checkout archives, google, or even our YouTube or Vimeo libraries (“labsecrets” is the name), and you will find hundreds of full length, all free videos.

Cheers!

This will give you more control over creating a theme which looks like Invision or PHPBB.

You will have to customize your theme as well to make sure it is compatible.

[Lynq]

I just commented out the sidebar from all my bbpress template files, worked perfectly.

[Fritz Colburn]

Yeah.. he’s done a video on the subject that stops half way through and requires you to pay to join labsecrets to see the rest.. Tell the whole story dude. Half of an answer is not an answer it is part of the problem.

[softechnos]

Did you add this in the main theme or in the bbpress twenty ten directory?

[Arun Singh]

Hello,

I think there is some issue with the download links for bbPress plugins ( Hopefully all of them), they are reporting 404.

Kind Regards,

Arun singh

Did you have a company convert over to bbPress from vBulletin or did you do it yourselves?

[JenniferNM]

In our cafe, newer posts will show up, then somehow it keeps reverting back to a post that’s 35 days old, by the same person!

I finally just added a test reply to her post, so it would stop.

It’s only happening in the forum.

We just ported the whole thing over from vBulletin to bbpress and are obviously still working out the kinks.

[Jarret]

You’re going to have to FTP into your site in order to get to the file that you need to modify. The file that you need to modify is located under wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress which is one level lower than what you can access through the admin in WP.

Once you are inside the /bbpress directory explained above you’ll need to open loop-single-forum.php and follow the directions I posted in my first reply to you.

Unfortunately the plugin is only designed to work with bbPress 2.1 which currently is still in testing which is why it isn’t working for you. Was it working fine before the re-install today?

[JenniferNM]

Also, something to note: just today, we uninstalled, then reinstalled the bbpress Genesis Extend plugin, because we cannot get it to work – or even show up anywhere.

It’s not under the Genesis menu or Genesis Settings. Not under WP Settings either.

Don’t know if that’s relevant, but thought I’d mention it.

Which version of bbPress are you using? You can check by going into Plugins in the admin and it should give you the info.

[JenniferNM]

And sorry, I meant the files for bbpress above, in terms of where I was looking.

[Jarret]

No that’s how I do it within the browser. Are you using the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin?
