I hard coded it so I could get some more control over it but perhaps that’s the issue, good to know it’s in there though. I’ll hack around and see.
I created a page and put [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-topic-form] as the content. It’s letting me choose the forum and topic type. Is this the method you used or did you hard code it?
(I’d give you the URL to the page I created, but I don’t think it would do any good since you can’t login so you won’t see the create a topic form.)
Thanks Andre — working good here now, though I’ve switched to a custom template page now that I see how it works. My next (and hopefully last) question:
On my topics index page I’ve included the form-topic template so users can create topics from that page. The topic form however seems to have no functionality for choosing what forum to post in so it defaults to one of them. Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks again.
OK I found the problem. the theme calls the sidebar(s) in the footer also.
Hi
I hope to find an answer here. I write to WordPress, to bluehost, everywhere and anybody answer to me. I explain my problem:
I must re-install all my website, and it’s impossible to have on-site
registration box, on the right column in the begin. I try all since for
days. Only invitations run. But I want register members who want to take
part on this platform.
The page of BP Compability, this sentence is:
“Navigation Links
“You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to
BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:
Register: http://www.faicmfsf.org/register/ (registration must be
enabled)”
But I look at for this file, I don’t find it. I made a special page for
regster too, but it didn’t run. For all other files for register, they are
all active, it’s ok. Just one on “BuddyPress / pb-core / pb-core-
signup.php (inactive)” What I must to do.
I want to put widgets for register, but anyone run. Sorry for my bad
english.

I’m using a wpmu install using wp 3.1.3 and bbPress 2.0-beta-3b
Can I set the home page to the forums or do I need to modify the index to show forums instead? Brand new to bbpress pretty seasoned wp developer.
Thanks for your help!
Hi John,

* What are your permalink settings
wordpress setting – /archives/%postname%
bbpress setting – there is a checkmark on Include the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links
* What theme are you using
bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2
* Did they ever work correctly
No
* Does that tag actually have topics in it
Yes
There has to be a way via CSS, but I don’t know what it is. Hopefully one of the more experience people will point you in the right direction.
Create a page and put “[bbp-topic-index]” as the content. That will make the page list the topics.
Someone reported having trouble with that function here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbp-topic-index-does-not-function-properly-at-certain-circumstances.
I want to make a forum theme and functionality similar to the one on bbpress.org now.
I especially like the avatars also!
what is needed to duplicate this simple yet beautiful theme?
In bbPress 2.0 is there a way to get all the topics on one page like in the forums here? Right now it seems to default to showing you a list of forums at /forums/ but I’d rather visitors see a list of all the topics. Thanks!
is there a way that i can allow inline images on a bbress wordpress plugin install?
it’s not possible to setup bbpress w/o a database.
bbress requires a mysql database. most hosting providers support mysql databases including most shared hosting plans (around $5 per month). the bbpress mysql database is configured upon installation of bbress.
bbPress-standalone plugins are not compatible with bbPress-plugin. bbPress-plugin plugins are installed the same way WordPress plugins are installed and do not use the my-plugins directory.
i’m using the bbpress wordpress plugin. are bbpress plugins compatible w/ the bbpress wordpress plugin?
i don’t see a my-plugins directory. how can i install bbpress plugins on a wordpress bbpress install?
I am having the exact same problem. Except that I haven’t installed any version of bbpress up til now.
I am using the Arras theme
I have a feature request, in case it hasn’t been brought up before (seems unlikely but never know…)
Normally all links in a bbP install open in the same browser window, but this takes everyone away from your forum when they click an external link.
I would like to request that a selectable feature to make all external links open with target=”_blank” (or equivalent) be added to bbP to prevent this. I’ve had a number of members mention that they wished links would open in a separate tab/window.
Thanks for considering!
Jonathan
When it comes time to migrate the bbPress.org forums, we’ll likely have similar issues. Whatever solution we come up with, I’ll be sure to make available.
A few people have had this similar issue, and so far we haven’t been able to pin-point the exact cause. Any additional details you can offer would be helpful.

bbPress does not come with things like attachments enabled, since opening up the file system to untrusted users isn’t something to be considered lightly. To do all those fancy things, you’ll want to write plugins for bbPress to enable and handle that type of enhancement.
Sounds like a bug. Can you create a ticket in our tracker so we can research this further?

Just wondering how do you ban a user or add an infraction to them inside the bbpress plugin for wp 3.1.3?
@Andre Thanks for that bbPress Plugin is amazing work guys, looking forward to the release!
There is a bbPress standalone to bbPress plugin converter so that part is possible. I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “I would like to give my members the ability to post ala-Wordpress (with pictures and all)”.
@Tom Lynch – Create a page, title it “Forum” or whatever you like. Put “[bbp-forum-index]” including the brackets as the content of the page and publish it.
Then go to Settings -> Reading in the Admin panel. Change the “Front Page Displays” option to page and select “Forum” or whatever you named the page.
