Thanks I added the short code to create a new page that shows up on the menu line. I used the following…

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

[bbp-lost-pass]

[bbp-topic-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

At this location..

My only question is there anything better I can do with the shortcodes to implement the login and register page?

I am using the twenty eleven theme currently unmodified and using the [bbp-forum-index] short code to display the forums. The forums are displaying correctly however I have set my template page to have a side bar as it should according to the page code I’m using.

My question is: Does the short tag use it’s own template? Is that why the page is not rendering as any other page? ie: no sidebar when it should have one.

I will be making my own child theme with bbpress support, but that won’t be until I finish a plugin I’m working on first.

http://bregandaerth.just-us.net is the site. The forums page should look like all the other pages, but it does not.

Thank you

I’ll try relevanssi too !

You can change it at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress. You probably want to uncheck the “Incude the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links” box.

Thanks for the short-codes John… but as a completely new user of bbPress how exactly do I use these? What is the proper structure, for instance, if I create a new page in wp and want to add this to the HTML?

The reason I ask is because I’ve been having problems getting bbPress setup properly and have posted this problem already in the forums but from what I gather – 1 or more of these short-codes might be the fix for my problem. Here is a snippet of my previous post stating the actual problem I’m having:

---

I’ve installed bbPress (2.0 version) and had a few problems then deleted it and re-installed. Now, when I go the “Forums” tab in wp-admin and I try to either edit the “draft” forum or add a new forum I get the naming option as:

http://www.maghosttrappers.com/forums/forum/????? (??? = whatever I type in as name)

Is this the correct settings? ie. /forums/forum/whatever_I_name … seems a little long and redundant…

I wasn’t sure if by re-installing I had caused a problem or if this being the “beta version” it was setup to not write over an existing forum…

Either way, can anyone tell me where and how to change this if possible (at least take out one of the “forum” parts?

---

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Scott

While I’ve got a little WP experience I’m completely new to bbPress so try to keep in simple aka. in “Lamon’s terms” ~ that is my last name after all LOL

Thanks,

I would suggest only Register link be displayed. Forgot Password would be on the failed login screen.

[abdessamad idrissi]

hey there!

I think the current “bbPress Login Widget” is missing two links:

. register

. forgot password

Hopefully there is the “Sidebar login” plugin that comes in rescue, but, wont it be hassle-less to have the two links on the integrated bbPress widget?

file to edit : bbp-core-widgets.php

PS: I opened a trac ticket for this enhancement

Hello,

For what it is worth I have the same issue on this combination:

BBPress 1.0.3

WP: 3.2.1

bbPress Integration Plugin – latest from wordpress plugins repository as of 7/25/2011

Any ideas on where I should start?

The bbAdmin user can post new topics, forums, replies, etc however any other user type does not have an option to add a new topic or reply to existing topic, but they can SEE topics, forums and posts made by the bbPress admin.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

Hello,

I love the fact that this has now been made a WordPress plugin. I’m using WordPress 3.2.1 and Twenty Ten theme, and all is working fine.

The question that I have is that I would like to have the ability to automatically generate a new forum topic each time I make a blog post, and any comments of that blog post become threads (or replies) to the forum topic.

Is this possible with bbpress 2.0?

I know that there was the wordpress-bbpress-synch plugin for bbpress 1.0.x, and from the description of that module, it seemed like it would do exactly what I wanted.

Hello,

I’ve just installed the bbPress Plugin to my site.I want to be able to lock users from editing their own profile.

I found this former thread.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lock-profile-editing-from-non-administrators

Could someone give me advice if the mini-plugin mentioned in this thread would work with the bbPress Plugin?

If so, how would I install it? help me please.

[ksmithtn]

I have a site that I need a programmer to look at. We’ve done a bbPress install a few months ago, and it has been having random database connection errors. This weekend, it went down completely.

Let me know if you are available to look at it for us. Thanks.

Also is it possible to install the bbpress in root and then wordpress in a foldr below that and integrate both..?

Please help..

Thanks in advance.

Soba.

This site is about bbPress not about BuddyPress, you might want to try http://www.buddypress.org

If you delete or rename the buddypress folder in wp-content/plugins/ you disable the plugin.

I believe it will take few more years!

PHPBB will publish new versions, bbpress will publish new versions!

Is there a way that a user can mark a post as private so only they and the administrator can view? http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/support-forum/ does a great job of adding support features, but it doesn’t allow the user to ‘hide’ their post from the public.

Any ideas/ suggestions?

Multisite

I prefer authorised users to be handled per blog but see the need for some people wanting it site wide. Multisite doesn’t make it easy for users to sign up to sub-blogs although there are solutions out there. Perhaps there could be a widget which would allow users to sign up to each forum individually. Allowing the admin to change the wording could give all users what they want. The widget could title as a suggestion “Join These Forums”. Logged in users would see just a button which allows them to join or leave. Non signed in users would see a log on box which would assign them rights to the forums, or a register link/form?

This way it gives all what they want and makes it easy to sign up to one and all forums. Perhaps the widget could have an option to allow “per site” or “Multisite” (all forums) sign up.

Search

I like the way that various CMS handle this. Perhaps it can display specific results (smart) when searching from a certain section but have check boxes to allow you to also search other post types which are available. Use jquery so as the boxes become checked it performs a live search.

Settings

If settings can be broken into separate meaningful page names so you know where to go when something needs changing.

[agriz]

You are using bbPress 1.0.3

I used this converter “http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release”

I didn’t check completely. But It seems everything works fine.

Passwords are not converted.

Name based permalink is not working.

Is there any way to make the Name based permalink to work?

[Chloe.Flanery]

Ok so I think I have this worked out. I copied everything out of the “bbp-twentyten” folder except functions.php. I then put these files inside my child theme folder. Then I copied everything from the functions.php within “bbp-twentyten” and pasted it into my child themes functions.php. The final step was to add theme support by placing add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); inside my child themes functions.php. This appears to be working because the forum is now pulling styling from the bbpress.css file inside my child theme. Now to try to edit some page templates.

I’ve been trying to solve an integration problem between BBPress and BuddyPress. One or two online forums allude to the problem but don’t provide a satisfactory solution. Any help would be appreciated…..

The Issue:

I’m running both BBPress and BuddyPress on a WordPress 3.1 installation. Everything is working fine (I think) except for my inability to show/publish forum topics (written using the backend interface) in the front-end BuddyPress Forum. I can write and publish the forum topics at the front end, but using the backend allows me to add hyperlinks into the topic post itself – a functionality I want to use.

BBPress Tags and Forums written at the backend show in the front-end without any issues. It’s simply the topics written at the backend that don’t show in the front-end forum…..

Do I need to create some kind of integration loop that allows a synchronisation between the BBPress topic and BuddyPress forum (which essentially seem to be the same thing)? Is there a plugin that I’m missing that can resolve the issue instead…

My apologies if you have answered on this issue before – I’m on a steep learning curve with website development but am responding fast…I just need to find a written solution which is much clearer for me (and probably many others) to understand!!!!

I would like to integrate the forum with my site but as of now it seems there is no style at all. I tried to copy the files the my child theme directory but that didnt seem to work. Any ideas whats going on here? My forum is located at spurmag dot com/dev/forum

1. Create a page with this shortcode [bbp-topic-index] (All shortcodes can be found here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-short codes )

2. Go to http://websiteaddress/wp-admin/options-reading.php

3. Choose the page you created in the first step to be your static homepage.

4. There is no fourth step
