Ok sorry for triple-posting but I was wrong, this still doesn’t seem to work. I was mistaken because I had tried creating a WP Page with the same slug as I was using in Settings > Forums where you can set the Forum base to a Page’s slug. That gave me control over the page title, but not the actual theme control I’m looking for.

Wowsers, I wish I could figure this out.

Edit: Wow, that was difficult, but could have been easy. It was the template file that I was editing (and seeing no results) that confused me. I was attempting to edit the page-front-forums.php template file, and it was doing nothing. So I gave a shot at the archive-forum.php template and that worked. Not sure why the page template that states inside that it’s for the Forums Index isn’t working, but oh well…

Transferring group forums from the old setup to the new plugin vs. is in the works.

I’m confused about this. If you have BBPress and Buddypress installed, do they work together? Does one have to migrate Buddypress to BBPress?

[Clicknathan]

Ok I believe I’ve got this working, for anyone else having these issues.

1. Follow BJ’s instructions above.

2. Activiate the Child Theme via Appearance > Select that Theme

3. Don’t forget to add the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); call to the child theme’s functions.php file

John I need this answers…

bbPress 1.1 is translated 50%, if we don’t have a Jalali date format we cannot publish it

[Clicknathan]

Having trouble getting the BBPress theme templates to work as well…

1. I followed all of the original post’s instructions, but making changes to the templates doesn’t come through on the live site.

2. I tried creating a child theme as per BJ’s suggestion above, but that wasn’t successful for me.

3. Pulled my remaining hairs out trying other solutions.

Just thought I’d mention.

I have WP + bbPress integration. For two weeks, new users who are logged in WP can not post in the forum. (“Old users” can post without problems)

I’ve tried everything! I reconfigured the integration, but has not worked. I think there is a problem with cookies but I’m not sure …

Can anyone help me?

[Clicknathan]

Yay, there is! And it’s actually so obvious I should be ashamed for posting this question.

Is there a conditional tag I can use in WordPress that will allow me to say “if is any BBPress page”?

This is for the BBPress Plugin specifically.

After I used the import wizard to import all messages from my old bbpress installation the message “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” is displayed. When I directly browse the form it seems to work, but when using the navigation the same message is displayed.

All forums are published as public, not hidden.

Any clue what might be wrong?

[Erhnam]

I found a bug in the official release of bbpress 2.0. The dates are displayed as %d/%m/%y at %H:%M. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

[Jaja..]

Lets hope bbPress will get a useful and easy to use Codex very soon because i can’t do anything with the templates tags like this.

I’m try to make a author reply avatar bigger.

This is the code that i imported to my file but it only displays the avatar at 40x40px.

<?php bbp_reply_author_avatar( array( 'size' => '80' )); ?>

Hi all!

I’m using this WordPress theme called “Ari” and I’d really love to add bbPress to my blog. However, the styling on the topic page is completely off and I just can’t put my finger on what’s causing the problem. If anyone could have a look and help me out on this one, I’d be thoroughly grateful for your help!

Here’s an example of the issue: http://www.kahvel.ee/forums/topic/ios-5/

Hello,

I have just updated my test site from buddypress 1.3 to 1.5

and installed new bbpress 2.0 plugin and it looks/ works good, with our custom theme

thanks!

we have over 10k topics in buddy press group forums,

anyone successfully managed to move all group forum topics/posts to standalone bbpress forums?

is there any converted available (or any chance someone is working on it)?

[David Decker]

The awesome bbPress Plugin 2.0 is finally released!

So for all German users I have the language files ready for download – in formal (SIE) and informal (DU) version. Both were tested/used in production environments so should work like a charm.

Just DOWNLOAD here:

Have fun, Dave from Germany

Our website uses groups as a replacement for boards. We would like to migrate our BuddyPress forum to bbPress 2.0. Now that tags are working we can cut down our board count from ~30 to 4, handling the remaining categorization with tags, such as ‘physics’, ‘android’, ‘networking’ and so forth.

Upon import, it would help a whole lot if for each group we could select which tag(s) we’d like to apply to all posts inside it.

Example:

All posts within

http://jmonkeyengine.org/groups/troubleshooting-physics

Will be moved to

http://jmonkeyengine.org/forum/board/troubleshooting/

and have the tag ‘physics’ applied to it.

For those interested, a plugin is in development that automates the functionality described in Erlend’s link:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

[Erlend]

With the very exciting new “forum shortcode as comments” feature currently being tested on testbp.org, quite a few questions come to mind. Seeing as the test site isn’t really meant for real conversations, I’ll ask my questions here.

(1) For starters, I’m assuming this will also work without BuddyPress in the mix?

(2) What if I’m running a multisite, separating content into two or more blogs?

example.com – main blog and forum.

devblog.example.com – secondary blog, no forum.

So in the instance that I make a post on devblog.example.com that I’d like to attach a forum thread to, would that be possible?

(3) Has this been tested with different post formats?

(4) Also, the idea of multiple posts pointing to the same forum topic is very cool, but what about the other way around?

Say I write a post about an already addressed topic (there is an existing thread about it) but I would like to open a new thread of discussion for some fresh opinions. Being able to point to multiple threads would be very handy. Maybe there’d have to be one main topic, but others could be added as links, pretty much like a pingback.

(5) Showing the first post in the forum thread in the blog post, especially in your example, seems counter-intuitive to me. Have you considered (tried) working around that?

[WebEndev]

Is there a way to search the forums/topics via a search tool?

[Erlend]

This is now possible:

http://testbp.org/2011/08/forum-shortcode-as-comments/

Though it’s still unclear to me whether or not this relies on BuddyPress 1.5, the environment in which this functionality is showcased. It would be a very odd dependency though, so I’m hoping this would also be possible with WP + BBP alone.

[JohnnyPea]

When I load the sidebar with the_content(), the_excerpt() or similar content function in custom loop before the main loop on page the forums (their contents) are displayed through that function in the sidebar.

So I can’t use these content function before the main loop on page template? It seems to me bbPress is hooking the first function of this kind (the_content(), the_excerpt()…) on a page.

I suppose bbPress plugin should avoid this to prevent malfunction in some themes.

[Anointed]

#1

for main forum, edit single-forum.php file to remove

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>

do the same thing for single-topic.php

***I am assuming you are using your own theme and are not editing the original bbpress files, but rather the files you add to your own theme.

#2

sorry, I have not yet dug through the core enough to answer this one. I’m guessing you can pass an argument to the topic output, but can’t say for sure.

#3

You will need to modify a ton of templates to do this one.

basically you are looking for:

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

and replacing it with:

<?php bbp_breadcrumb( array('include_home' => false, 'include_root' => false) ); ?>

That basically says: do not print the ‘home’ link, and do not print the ‘forums’ link before the single forum link.

include_home = ‘home’

include_root = ‘forums’

Hope that helps.

I have a bbpress (classic) install with WP deep integration, and figured I’d get a head start on formatting my test install for the eventual release of the plug in. So far I’ve got almost everything styled nicely just using CSS, but I’m stuck on removing a few things that seem to clutter up the presentation of the forum.

1. Does anyone know how to remove the “This forum contains X topics and X replies, and was last updated…” from the main Forum and topic pages?

2. How about how to remove the modification history section and the post # display from posts.

3. Remove the extraneous breadcrumbing, right now it’s Site>Forums>Forum as the default ‘Forum” page. Seems like one level too deep for default bbpress forum starting point. SInce my site will only have 1 forum, is there a way to clean up the sloppiness or at least hide the useless ‘Forums’ link in the breadcrumb?
