i’m trying to do the same thing right now. looks like you’re going to have to search through each PHP file in the bbPress theme and remove the following code:

<?php get_sidebar)(); ?>

it’s the only way that i can think of… which is neither fast nor easy.

WR!

[Dan Milward]

Have you tried it in bbPress?

[Jaja..]

Just wondering

If i want to add bbPress to my own theme, this topic tells me to add the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); to my functions.php <– the functions of my own WordPress theme.

Because if you copy-/paste the files from the bbPress plugins folder to my wp-content > themes > theme folder it also has a functions.php file.

What about two functions.php ?

[Jaja..]

Same as above i would like to see a codex how to use those all PHP codes.

I often can understand the WP Codex and build unique themes because i can view the codex and work thing out.

Now i would like to create my own bbPress theme and forum layout-/display but i don’t have a codex to view what options i can use.

Shortcodes are great but not the most flexible.

[Anointed]

I see, you are using shortcodes, so my idea doesn’t work then.

Personally, I like to have complete control over every template in my theme, so I bring over all the bbpress files into my current theme and modify from there.

As I don’t use shortcodes, I’ll have to let someone else chime in and help you out.

[Anointed]

My first guess is that when you copied over the bbpress theme into your current theme that you ended up copying over the style.css and functions.php file?

If so, that would explain why you can’t see your theme to activate it in the admin.

*The style.css file tells wp what theme it is, so if you copied the bbpress theme css over your own, then there ya go…

Hi,

Is there a way to make the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] displaying only a certain amount of topics ?

Something like [bbp-topic-index n=$number]

Thank you,

Sulliwane.

ps: your plugin is just awsome…really awsome, thank you so much

[xps20]

I just installed bbpress.

This works http://DOMAIN.com/forums.

However the forum and post I created do not load

http://DOMAIN.COM/forum/forum-name

http://DOMAIN.COM/topic/topic-title

Does anyone know what’s wrong?

PS I don’t think people who are seeking help should have their posts marked as spam. If a mod or user has an issue with a post, how about you allow the user to know what the problem is so it can be corrected. And if you have enough time to mark a post as spam, then you have enough time to assist with my questions in the post. I should not be submitting a second thread in 2 days for troubleshooting support. Not good at all.

Hello there,

I think my question will be very easy for most people here but I am really having a hard time to make it work. I read your post about theme compatibility many times but I am still missing something.

I installed the bbpress 2.0 rc plugin in my wordpress 3.2.1 and I also looked over the internet for a bbpress theme (not sure if it is compatible with bbpress 2.0 though). What I did was:

First Time:

A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.

I copyied all the files from bbp-twentyten into the custom theme folder

The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.

Second Time:

A) I uploaded the custom theme I found over the internet.

I copyied the folder bbp-twentyten from “/bbpress/bbp-themes/” into the wp-content/themes. My custom theme was also the wp-content/themes

The result is that I cannot find my theme in the theme directory in order to activate it.

In both case I added the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

Can you please give some me some help cause I feel very stupid.

N.

bbpress: 2.0-rc-5

wordpress: 3.2.1

theme: woothemes canvas 4.4.0

I think I have not understood how to add bbpress to my site correctly.

Thusfar:

1. Installed bbpress plugin and in forum settings, set Archives Slug > Forums base to “community”.

2. Created a page with slug “community” and added [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.

3. Using widget logic plugin, added some sidebar widgets to display on this page.

4. Visited /community page. My sidebars are not showing and looking at source code reveals page is using a forum archive template and not a page template.

5. Changed page slug to something other than “community”. The page then displays the sidebars I have set. However, the breadcrumb navigation still links back to the /community forum archive page without my sidebars.

How can I set things up so that the forum index appear on the page where I placed the shortcode and not on a different forum archive template page, and also have the breadcrumb navigation work correctly?

Thanks to anyone for any suggestions.

@reply myself.

I was stupid, and sleeping! (my mistake)

Shortcodes is the solution to pull this off.

[miruru]

@anoited – I’m probably haven’t made myself clear on exactly what I want.Just to clarify what I have and want doing:

Main Template Theme is BuddyPress default

Using shortcodes to display my main Forum Index

In my Child Theme I have added a folder called bbpress with one file called loop-single-forum and changed the bbp_list_forums() part.

Am I suppose to copy the whole template of bbpress into my child theme. As at present everything is working exactly how I want it except for the part where it displays it displays the subforums with (0,0) next to it. I just want it to be removed.

[Steveorevo]

Thumbing through the code. I can’t find any reference to an email being sent. There is the “bbp_new_reply” action hook. But it looks like the only one leveraging this is BuddyPress. I tried with BuddyPress, and nuthin’. So I imagine these projects just aren’t working together yet, especially given that BuddyPress requires permalinks be turned on and bbPress 2.0 will not work with BuddyPress when permalinks are turned off.

For now, it looks like we’ll have to wait the a win-win situation.

[Steveorevo]

Just tested bbPress 2.0-rc-5 on WordPress 3.2.1. I assume this feature is to send emails to user that have subscribed or checked the “Notify me…” checkbox in a forum topic? I’ll try running a trace.

On another note: GREAT JOB bbPress!!! I’m liking the cleaner integration, and simple plugin installation of bbPress inside WordPress. WordPress is very refined and launching/integrating (read: seamless login/logout) with WP is fantastic. Thanks for working on this project!

Thanks

Hello and thanks for the bbPress plugin it’s working (installing) great till now.

I only have one question and maybe it’s very simple thats why i ask it in the FAQ.

I have a local WP Multi install and i made a special (forum) network-site for showing the forum on. Only i would like to display the forum on the homepage.

Now it’s like this.

(1) example.com (my homepage)

(2) example.com/forum/ (homepage of the new networking site)

(3) example.com/forum/forums/ (showing the forums)

(4) example.com/forum/forums/forum/topic-title ( ?? very ugly)

As you can see i don’t like <strongs>forums in between, i would like to show off all forums-/category’s on the homepage of my new WP network (2)

I have searched in the settings but i don’t understand the Archive slugs

Hello,

I’ve installed the plugin on my site, which has a custom theme, but after following the installation instructions found here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility, all I get is a blank page if I view the forum. So, I deactivated the plugin, deleted, and reinstalled. This time I DID NOT copy any files into my theme directory, just left it as is.

Now, If I place some shortcode such as [bbp-forum-index] on one of my current wordpress pages, it will show, but once I click on one of the topics, it brings me to the blank page again! I’m tearing my hair out here trying to figure this out..I thought it would be a lot easier as I work on WP sites all the time.

Here is the link to the forum that is blank:

http://foreverathletes.com/forums/forum/community-2/

Can somebody help me out? Again, I tried this route:

If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your “wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%” folder, and modify your style.css to make it a custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is. This is so theme updates don’t wipe out all your hard work later.

…But couldn’t figure out how to make the style.css work…I modified the style.css inside of the bbp-twentyten so that the Template name matched my theme name, but this did not work. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the help.

And another question, will the the stable bbP be upgradeed? The last one is 1.1, if you don’t wanna work on it anymore I have something to do and update it for my people.

It’s my proud to publish bbPress in my language!

You can always check the file dates to see what files changed at:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

[Anointed]

Your going about it wrong. Instead of using the functions file, simply change the template file.

Where the templates are using bbp_list_forums(), take that part out, and change it to:

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

[Dan Milward]

@miruru I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if BuddyPress was installed.

If you could provide us any patches that would be awesome.

Are you a bbPress developer?

[amirsaam]

Hi,

I see the jDate function in the bbPress but I can’t find how to use it. Am I need to write a plugin like WP-Jalali for bbPress or no bbP have the skills to make dates Jalali?

I will be proud if you help me to make Persian language bbPress support

This is with bbPress theme files in a custom theme and refers to the functions.php file supplied with the plugin in the sample theme.

From poking around it looks like the head_scripts() function (in functions.php) is hooked into bbp_head, which is in turn hooked into wp_head without a priority.

This means it gets added with a priority 10 whereas wp_lists.js gets called with wp_print_head_scripts which has a priority 9 causing var ajaxurl to be defined too late. (As it’s required by wp-lists.php).

If anyone else finds their ajax doesn’t work on topic pages you can get round this by changing in functions.php:

add_action( ‘bbp_head’, array( $this, ‘head_scripts’ ));

to

add_action( ‘wp_head’, array( $this, ‘head_scripts’ ), 8 );

This might not be the case with all themes and only applies if you use functions.php from the bbPress plugin in your theme but thought it was worth mentioning.

@JJJ: The plugin is Frickin awesome! Good job sir.
