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

[Dan Milward]

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.

Hi, I recently install bbpress on my site. I created a login using the shortcodes but for one it prompts that you can’t register and also if you do sign in using my admin it will show already signed in and will not go to the forum. For the forum I cannot find a way to connect it to a page either. Perhaps if anyone could shed some light on this that would be great. Thank you very much

[highexistence]

JQuery is called first and I’ve tried only activating BBpress and Buddypress and the error is still there.

Thanks for your help mate! This is a tough one. If you have any other suggestions, I’m all ears. Thanks again.

[ns32]

We’re having the same issue.

[travis.hill]

Try setting up the group forums again through the BuddyPress Admin. Note though, that by effectively deactivating bbPress 2.0, the issue is now BuddyPress related, not bbPress 2.0.

Try re-installing (or using an existing install) of the Forums for Groups through BuddyPress.

I had this same issue not long ago, but unfortunately don’t remember the exact fix. I know I played with the group forum settings in the buddypress admin area and got it working as expected.

[webowner]

Hi and thank you so much for the reply. Much appreciated.

I have taken your suggestion and have deactivated the bbpress plug-in.

So now I only have the community page set as a forum.

But still cannot add a new topic.

Any ideas?

[travis.hill]

Looks like you still have both activated. You can use both, provided you change link settings for bbPress 2.0.

BuddyPress will claim the /forums/ permalink (and create a page). Try changing your Archive slugs in the bbPress Forums Settings Page (Settings > Forums) to something other than /forums/. /community/ is a good choice.

By doing so, you are effectively using both forum types (groups and site). The group forums will be through /forums/ and the site forums will be through /community/.

If you don’t want both forums types, deactivate the bbPress 2.0 plugin.

[grafics]

Took a shot based on comments on this board and all now seems to be well.

I unchecked the forum prefix and set the forum and topic (single slugs) to forum and topic. Single topic is now displaying correctly and using the custom buddypress child theme.

If it makes any difference, this is a buddypress/bbpress plugin install. I have not moved any bbpress files into my child theme.

Thanks to everyone for all the good advice!
