Hi Patricia

I did that, but the problem I have is bbpress automatically creates a page at the same url that overwrites my WP Page. If I go into the bbpress settings and change the forums base to say ‘forumsbb’ then I end up with two forums, one at /forum and one at /forumbb, which I want to avoid.

I must be doing something wrong!

Ok, I think I ran into a snag.

My WordPress/BuddyPress site is HEAVILY modded with plugins. I use a RocketTheme theme that runs off of the Gantry Framework along with Gantry-BuddyPress (which allows BuddyPress to be compatible with the RocketTheme and Gantry Framework.)

The bbPress plugin worked, but only partially. The Forum page set up by bbPress is visible but instead of seeing the “directory” of forums it shows:

Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness General Discussion SO? what now? 1 1 26 mins Admin

It’s all just plain text with no links. But, the forum I made for General Discussion is viewable when I go to the forum page it made.

For reference, here are the demo page links:

http://bp.daevas.com/forums/

http://bp.daevas.com/forums/discussion/na-general-discussion/

I still have to edit the .css to match the theme design, but I wanted to find out what was wrong with the default forums page and why it wasn’t showing up correctly.

Thanks and hope you can help.

There is nothing out of the box, no.

You would need to create a new bbPress theme from scratch that is heavily customized. However it’s certainly do-able.

Hi @Everton

not sure I understood you correctly, and maybe you solved that since last week …

well I wanted the same thing (insert the bbpress forum index, in a standard WP page), thus thought I could insert a shortcode to call the forum, in a normal page

I created a page called “forum” (whatever you want there) and inserted [bbp-forum-index] in it,

all the available shortcodes are listed here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

cheers

I want my forum to look like this http://roosterteeth.com/forum

Is there a theme/plugin that would allow me have my forums look like this? I can edit the source files of bbpress, so if you have a suggestion about doing that, I’m all ears. I have a basic understanding on PHP, so it shouldnt be a problem. Thanks!

Hey there, I’m trying to work on a forum for a friend of mine who’s not very computer literate but I’m having just as much trouble understanding it all!

I’ve tried changing themes on my BBpress forum but the .zip files won’t upload, even though it says:

“Install a plugin in .zip format

If you have a plugin in a .zip format, you may install it by uploading it here.”

after I try upload one it says:

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed”

This is absolutely doing my head in. Not only that, but getting a simple forum page up is much harder than I thought it would be. To see what I mean, check out our forum as it is now:

http://www.pets-ponies.com

So my question is:

Would someone (with more experience than us) kindly log-in to our admin page and quickly whip up a basic forum? I’ve got all the page/topic names or titles I want up there (in my head at the moment), I just can’t figure it out!

In need of some help bigtime!

Cheers! Paul

Hey guys, just a thought – is it possible to convert BBPress 2.0 threads and posts back to v1.X in any way?

[Jared Atchison]

That very well could be true, however it doesn’t seem to be holding back other forum packages such as Vanilla which offer no advanced wysiwyg editor out-of-the-box.

It was only a matter of time until it made it into bbP core though.

[unholyfruitbat]

That’s a huge relief because honestly I believe the lack of editing options in the core release is what’s holding bbPress back more than anything else.

Closing. If you have any questions regarding shortcodes feel free to create a new thread.

[Jared Atchison]

Closing. If you have a question about one of the FAQ items feel free to create a new thread. FAQ is going to hopefully be getting a nice update after 2.1 is released

Hi,

We have a problem, all is in the title : Why bbp_get_topic_admin_links() function in bbp-topic-template.php can’t apply on a bbp single topic page ?

How hack the following code without modify bbpress core files :

line 1984 :

if (!bbp_is_single_topic() )

return;

Is there an issue to display admin links on non-single topic page ?

Thx,

[John James Jacoby]

Keep in mind that bbPress 2.1 is still in development. It’s pre-release software and there might still be some kinks to work out.

But, on paper it’s *supposed* to be better than 2.0.

[John James Jacoby]

Happy this is helping some people. Closing for now since this topic seems to be a hotbed for spammers.

[Jared Atchison]

bbP 2.1 has TinyMCE.

You can download 2.1 by clicking Zip Archive on this page: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

I’m totally new to Bbpress. I have a problem with adding posts. Totally strange things have happened. For example, when I was on the front page of forum, topics links are fine, when I click on some of them, it takes me to a page with listed posts, but when I want to make a new post, the part of url disappeared. To be clear, when I press the submit button, bb-post.php redirects me to a nonexistent page and the url looks like this http /example.com/ /name_of_topic and it should look like this http /example.com/forum/name_of_forum/name_of_topic. Something removes part of url, but i have no clue what it can be. I look through functions, and i’m lost.

Please help.

I can’t believe more threads haven’t talked about this. How are people using BBPress 2.0 without a wysiwig editor? Im a programmer and dont mind using text or markup, but users certainly do mind.

I’ve tried the Post toolbar — that is WAY too technical for my users since it straight up inserts HTML Markup.

I’ve tried CLEditor, which works out of the box — but generates really crappy HTML that doesn’t handle whitespace correctly.

I want to integrate TinyMCE, CKEditor, or PunyMCE, but it’s just harder than you would think because I dont quite understand the plugin structure and template structure bbpress 2.0 uses.

Any help in regards to hardcoding these editors into a theme, hacking an existing plugin, or even creating a plugin to do this highly appreciated.

Best,

Danger

I’ve been following the development of Thematic for the last few months now, which makes it pretty lame that I’ve never checked out the forums until now. Looks like a great community/resource from what I’ve been able to tell over the last few hours.Anyways, I’ve just released my first Thematic specific Child Theme called Boumatic. My main goal with the design was to step away from the default Top Header, Left Content, Right Sidebar layout that comes as the default. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Does not install.

The plugin does not have a valid header.

[Keshav Saini]

I am using the latest versions of both the software. Buddypress 1.5 and bbpress 2

I have installed bbpress both for group forums and sitewide forum. I started seven discussions in sitewide forum but none of them appearing in my activity.

[Jared Atchison]

No problem, glad I can help.

I’m going to submit this simple plugin to the wp.org repo. Once it’s up I’ll talk to @jjj and see if it warrants a sticky.

Regarding the missing tag, closing PHP tags (?>) isn’t required (at the end of the file) and it’s usually good practice to omit them. More info on that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4410704/php-closing-tag
