Hi! I tried to download and install the Hidden Forums plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, and I’m not sure if I put it in the correct location. The instructions ( http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/installation/ ) say to put it in “bbPress’ my-plugins/ directory”–I couldn’t find that directory so I put it in wp-content/plugins. I was able to activate it. I can make forums “hidden” but I can’t specify certain roles to have access to specific forums. (Which I think this plugin is supposed to do: “Make selected forums completely hidden except to certain members or roles”). I can’t seem to find anywhere to create roles. Is there another plugin I need for that? Or did I put this plugin in the wrong spot?

I’m using bbpress 2.0

Thanks!

The plugins at https://bbpress.org/plugins/ are not intended for bbPress 2.0. They were created for a standalone version of bbPress.

Without php knowledge this would be a huge undertaking. WordPress uses group permissions to set who can do what. (You have to create corresponding groups that have permissions to utilize the new forum type)

A good reference starting point would be to look at the new ‘support’ forums plugin. It’s listed in the forums here the past week.

That would be a good starting point. However like I said, if you are not great at php, this is gonna take a long time to figure out. It’s no small task.

Sorry, I searched before, but just saw that user sulliwane2 asked a similar question 4 weeks ago in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Adding a few arguments would be very useful!

[spicynodes]

Your search widget is a welcome addition. One useful improvement would be an option to merge page/post search (the WP default) and bbpress search, so that ONE search can search all WP content.

OK, I just set up a 100% fresh WordPress 3.2.1 install along with a 100% fresh bbPress install. Created a new forum, added 2 topics – each with different tags. I added a third topic with no tags.

When I go to view a single tag, it shows all 3 topics which is incorrect and would seem to be a bug.

Can anyone else confirm.

[liamatkins]

Some plugins are working that way, others arent though.

And thanks for the link does it mean that I can’t use the other plugins available here https://bbpress.org/plugins/ ?

Thanks

[Trobee]

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress has most of the current plugins available for bbpress 2.0

I am currently looking into adding another option to the forum visibility setting so I can have two different levels of hidden forums.

I believe I have the php set up correctly, but I hardly know any sql and I do not know where the forum visibility settings are stored or how to find them.

can anybody help?

[Andre]

I don’t think theres a way to do it exactly how you want, but installing BuddyPress can get you close. You can create the private group forums through BuddyPress and use bbPress for the general forum.

[Andre]

Install bbPress 2.x plugins the same way you install WordPress plugins. There is not a separate bbPress 2.0 plugin installer/menu/etc.

Hi all!

I just installed the bbPress plugin on my blog-network. I am using a plug-in called user image that lats people upload profile pictures. The only problem with bbpress is that everytime the username is showing it also shows the profile picture which makes the forum looks really messy.

What can I do to prevent bbpress from showing the users profile picture everywhere?

[liamatkins]

No I’m using the plugin. If I am using the plugin, does that mean I can’t install other plugins?

Thanks,

Liam

Ahh, are you using the standalone version, and not the plugin? Not my area of expertise, as I use the plugin. There may be others though that can help. @andrejcarter, possibly?

On this same page it would be great if I could have the bbp-forum-description, currently listed under the sub-forums, to be shown under the bbp-forum-title.

This can be accomplished with modifications to template files.

How can I list the sub-forums in a single line order

This is a style issue. Dig into the CSS and turn those list items into display:list-item; from #content table tbody tr ul.bbp-forums li in bbpress.css on line 285.

You’ll probably want to get rid of the pipe separator, as well.

Pass some $args through bbp_list_forums.

If your using custom templates, locate the loop-single-forum.php file. Somewhere around line 25 you should find the bbp_list_forums function. Pass it some $args like so:

<?php bbp_list_forums(array('separator' => '','show_topic_count' => false, 'show_reply_count' => false)); ?>

I’d really like to have the ‘Remember Me’ phrase be inline with the checkbox

In your stylesheet http://pacificbeach.me/wp-content/themes/jq/lib/css/style_ext.css on line 161, the label rule is throwing it off. Try adding a rule similar to this:

p.rememberme label: display: inline;

That worked for me in Chrome.

Hope I’ve gotten you closer!

Your request can be accomplished with a little grunt work. Are you asking for an “all-in-one” shortcode?

…with the exception of being able to hide the sidebars.

Content areas and sidebars are independent areas within a WordPress installation. Hiding the sidebar can be accomplished a few different ways: Within Appearance > Widgets, or you could comment out the code in the template files. But sidebars/widgets are always independent of content areas.

Why can’t the whole forum be put into a short-code so it can be applied inside a full-width page?

Why can’t a full width page be created and the shortcode placed inside? That is more in tune with what WordPress is built to do. Create a page. Give it a full width template (if your theme provides it), and place the shortcode within that page. Anything after that is accomplished is a style issue. I just wrote a post about full-width forums in your other topic:

Full-Width Forum

You can also read up on shortcodes here:

bbPress 2.0 – Shortcodes

bbPress does a good job of being a forum out of the box. Sure, there are issues, but the code is still in its infancy. Any cosmetic customization is up to the user, however.

[travis.hill]

Switch the forums to hidden instead of private. In that case, your customers will still see the forums and have access to them, but non-customers won’t even know they exist. Why have your customers clicking on links they can’t access anyways?

[liamatkins]

No I got that thanks, I need to install the plugins for it, and I understand you can’t just install plugins using the normal WP PLugin install, is that right?

Thanks,

Liam

[travis.hill]

Do you mean in your Dashboard > Settings > Forums? Each site will have its own. Hope that is what your looking for.

Hi all

I am currently setting up a multi-site wordpress install which will have distinct groups of people, each with access to the forum, one sub-site for their group, and the main pages. I am currently trying to set up a hidden/private forum for each group of users.

My back up plan is to create a seperate forum in each subsite, but I would prefer to be able to have all the forums together.

Each group of users will have slightly different roles and capabilites, so I can add capabilities such as view_group1_forums etc. if it is possible to create multiple types of hidden forum.

I am running wordpress 3.1.2 with bbpress 2.0

[liamatkins]

Hi there, I’m new to this Forum after heading my head against a brickwall for an awful long time.

I’m trying to install some plugins and adjust the settings for BBpress which is on my WPMU installation. Each blog has its own Forum, but I just can’t find the administration link.

Even for the master account local-politics.co.uk I can’t find it. I have tried all the suggestions /forums/bbpress /forums/bbp-admin /forums/bb-admin along with a few more.

But I can’t seem to find it anywhere. If someone could help me they would be an absolute lifesaver!

Thank you.

Liam

Thanks for the Plugin!!

I hope this Plugin keeps growing and evolving – there is totally a need for this!!

[highexistence]

That fixes the first error but I’m still getting this one:

topic.js:39Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method ‘wpList’

I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides BBpress, switching to the default theme and re-installing BBpress. The errors still comes up.

wplist.js is being called before topic.js so it must be something in the code…?

[PureRover]

I have tested several forums with WordPress. Both as separate program and as integrated program/plugin. Every forum we tested had major issues that would prevent being used on our site.

We have installed bbpress plugin and found it very flexible with the exception of being able to hide the sidebars.

Why can’t the whole forum be put into a short-code so it can be applied inside a full-width page?

This forum is full of questions and requests for ppPress to be imbedded via short-code right into a full-width page. Why is it so hard to accomplish this. Afterall, ppPress is written by the same people that created wordpress.

This is very frustrating.
