Starting a new thread here at the request of John James for any issues with iThemes Builder.
Some information from my previous report:
QUOTE
Yes, the actual shortcodes themselves appear on the published page on the site and I think I should have said, I am using iThemes Builder with a child theme, up to date version of WP..
Also, the actual forum when you click to view it from the main index one (which is appearing fine and where it should) is appearing at the top of the site above the header, which is why I am trying the shortcode route. In my case though I have used “Widget Content” which comes with builder to create the header area.
I have two other plugins that produced the same kind of thing, in that they appeared fine where they were meant to, “sexybookmarks” at the end of a post BUT also would appear in any location I had used “Widget Content” which was the header area and sidebar areas and also a paypal plugin and to get around that I added this code to the end of my child css:
.widget-content .paypal-form {
display: none;
}
Which stopped it appearing in content widget areas, so the first thing I tried for this was the same code but changing the “.paypal-form to one for bbPress – I had used firebug lite (chrome) to try and find the correct name that should go there and I don’t think I found the right name.
Yep shortcode helper would be good, thanks John.. do you need any more info?

Hope that is enough information for my particular problem John?
Thanks

@jarledb – One of the unique challenges of creating a plugin with a large volume of users is catering to the 80% of users that want to turn it on, and not really mess with it. Different people will want different kinds of login and registration areas on their sites, and everyone with an opinion about where to put them why, is right. Some say sidebar, some say in the content area to draw attention to it, some say tuck it in a drop down menu, etc… All great ideas, but what’s the majority? The majority want it easy, and I think widgets are the easiest way to go right now without making everyone have a login/register page on the forum index of their sites.
Regarding ip-banning/anti-spam, you’re probably safe to hold off for a little bit. There’s no doubt these solutions are going to be needed eventually, and if someone takes the liberty of making an awesome plugin to help out, I’m all ears on how I can help bbPress core work better with it.

@john james jacoby – Thank you for a throughout explenation and update.
I am using template integration mode (so no actual templates for the theme I am using, although I am trying to push Woothemes to make child themes for bbPress
I might end up copying the files over and integrating it myself, especially if that is the only (and easiest) way to get all functionality over.
It seems to me that even with the Twentyten theme the first page for the forum does not include things like login, register and search. Which seems a bit odd to me. Is it supposed to be like that?
I am not using WordPress multisite, are there plugins you would recommend looking at for ip-banning and anti-spam features that will work with bbPress? Or can I just forget about that for a while until bbPress is released as a stable version?

@SHope – You’re okay.
It sounds like you’re using the shortcodes correctly, but that something else isn’t working. I think I’m going to build in a shortcode helper, because I realize finding the ID isn’t the easiest thing to do.On the pages you’re using the shortcodes on, does anything appear where the shortcodes should be?

Halo guys, i tried all sorts of SMTP plugins for BBPRESS but none are working. So is there any way to disable the email verification registration. I want a direct registration method. No verification
Assertion:
The problem with forums is that one must read/browse/scroll thru all the information you don’t want to see… until you then find what you have been looking for.
Question:
Is there a theme for either WordPress or BBPress that would like a Microsoft File System Explorer provide access to BBPress?
Q2:
Is there an inherent limitation in the BBPress database or Theme or Widget Plugin that would disallow a developer from implementing a theme with these types of widgets?
Thanks,

@jerledb – Login/register are supported via page templates, there is a login widget, and eventually shortcodes too. A register widget is a nice idea but leads way to lost-password and activation widgets, none of which will make it into 2.0.
Spam isn’t really handled yet, since there’s no one spamming forums that don’t use software that isn’t released yet.
There is a Trac ticket regarding Akismet integration, but either Akismet will need to be updated or a special version of Akismet to concentrate on post spam (which isn’t really a WordPress issue.)Regarding IP addresses, there are WordPress plugins to help with this, and WordPress multisite comes with this kind of functionality baked in. Traditionally WordPress doesn’t handle spam at a user level, since registered users are typically already trusted to some regard. We run into this issue a little bit even here at bbpress.org. bbPress does log the IP address of every topic/reply that is created, so a plugin can use that to check against a ban list or something.
