Hello everyone!
This is my problem: i was creating my forums they were in alphabetical order but at some point it got all mess out, is not in alphabetical order anymore. I tried to set the order inside each forum with the Order section and it still doesn’t work.
I used to have it in the past and it worked just fine. But now i can’t get it to look properly.
I disable all other plugins and the problem persists…
I have wordpress 4.2.2 and bbpress 2.5.8
Anyone… help?
You could use the regular WordPress toolbar, that is exactly what bbpress.org uses.
Anything custom you have to do it yourself, or hire a developer. Only thing I can say is you probably need CSS to style the drop down profile form.
Thanks.
Please one more thing.
I want to place a login/register form in header which drops the profile on hover as in codex.bbpress.org
I used
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
<?php wp_head();
global $user_identity;
?>
<p><b>Howdy</b>, <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. [<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log Out</a>]</p>
<?php else : ?>
<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
Username <input value="Username" class="input" type="text" size="20" tabindex="10" name="log" id="user_login" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Username') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Username';}" /> <input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="90" type="checkbox"> Remember Me? <br />
Password <input value="Password" class="input" type="password" size="20" tabindex="20" name="pwd" id="user_pass" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Password') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Password';}" />
<input name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="Log In" tabindex="100" type="submit">
<input name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/" type="hidden">
<input name="testcookie" value="1" type="hidden">
</form>
<?php endif; ?>
…but on log out the username and password boxes stretchesd fullwith.
Please help.
Thanks
Just to add another suggestion, I’ve found this plugin works well on a regular WP install (not yet used with a live bbpress installation but the plugin info does say it supports it):

@carlharrison1 <- sorry I was probably lazy that day.
You would have to create a custom template for bbPress or a bbpress.php file so that all your forum pages use this.
i guess if your slider is using a shortcode you can echo the shortcode in the template too.
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
You need to show it only on pages you want, so single topics, single forums, forum archive, and topic archive. Usually I see sliders have a conditional to show on the home page only so you would to do something similar but only on bbPress pages. You can input multiple conditionals using && or | for example,
<?php if ( bbp_is_single_topic() && bbp_is_single_forum() && bbp_is_forum_archive() && bbp_is_topic_archive()) : ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Thanks @Robkk but it doesn’t see to matter what change I want to make.
Yeah I just tested it and it doesn’t work when saving, I guess do not edit your profile right now.
Not a good place for the book to be because if I or someone is getting a 404 error page then we’re not happy and you are linking that to purchasing the book… Just my 2 cents.
Well maybe Rhys Wynne is getting some good out of this haha, the 404s of course are not intentional.
I defintely won’t upgrade until the new version is well tested
It usually is well tested before official release, I wouldn’t consider running anything alpha though.
BBpress or buddy press (what is the difference)
Ones has some features that are in Twitter or Facebook, the other is just forums. Both usually work great together.
Other than that I have used this login here since 2011 when I first played with BBpress and got rid of it after 6 months or so…
I think that was way back in the beta version of bbPress v2. a lot has changed since then.
Thanks @Robkk but it doesn’t see to matter what change I want to make. I enter with the url you specified: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/folgerj/edit
And one time I add just my first name and another time I change my website and hit submit and I get the 404 error page which has a copy of the BBpress book to purchase. 🙂

Thanks for the assist and I’ll check back from time to time. This isn’t that important except for my need to update my website from a long defunct domain (I own it but it just forwards now). Other than that I have used this login here since 2011 when I first played with BBpress and got rid of it after 6 months or so…
I made changes and changed my email to what should be over at Gravatar and hit submit and get a 404 error and end up seeing the BBpress book for sale.
I don’t know if it took it or not…. It may not be allowing changes as far as I can tell
@folgerj
It probably didn’t work, and you can could always add additional email addresses to Gravatar. So if you want a specific Gravatar for wordpress/bbpress.org add the email you used on those sites. You can always remove it then change the email on the sites later.
..Curious to know what the bug is/was..could happen to any of our sites too I suppose.
@uncle-jimmy
I think I made an educated guess last week to what commit caused the issue, and Stephen pinpointed the issue. Also the reason the issue is on this site is because this site is running the latest alpha, so this site see any issues first before releasing the next update.
@longchelsea @candicexiang
do what I said here
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/edit-allowed-only-for-1st-post/#post-164195
There is a bug right now that is being looked over.
This is what I’m get’n..

lol!..Clear to see what’s wrong with that picture..

I’ve seen this kind of thing before on Mintees.com Profiles, click a User website link and get this same sort of thing, inconsistant though, I think it’s user error in that case.
This is something different.
@caseylifec
You might have to try this to only remove it on bbPress pages and not on blog posts.
#bbpress-forums div.entry-author {
display: none;
}
As long as the users have registered and their default role is a participant they should be able to create topics.
You can try troubleshooting for other possible issues too.

also respects posts hidden by s2member bbpress level restrictions
i was mistaken, topics hidden by s2member restrictions are hidden, but replies are not hidden in search results when using this snippet
davidddn, you may have another plugin or theme function interfering with this search code, so try testing with default wp theme and disable other plugins etc
otherwise, including bbpress in standard wp search results as a standard option in bbpress would be great

The activate component I think you are talking about is part of BuddyPress.
I can’t find any documentation that details if there needs to be a shortcode on that page but mine is blank…This is the downside so far. In the Docs there should be a description of each of the required pages and what they do as well as what I need to do with them
When BuddyPress is installed you will have a register page usually at yoursite.com/register/, and also an activate page so after you register you are required to activate your account usually here yoursite.com/activate/.
All documentation for the activate page would be on BuddyPress, in their codex.
Register and Activation Pages
There might be more documentation on the activate page, but I can’t find them if you want more information about it contact BuddyPress in their forums.
https://buddypress.org/support/
bbPress does allow shortcodes for registration, lost-password, and also for login, but none for users to activate their account. bbPress relies on how WordPress sets up registered users.
Hi I am using bbPress version Version 2.5.8, website link is http://fantasypremierhq.com/
I cannot seem to style the register button on http://fantasypremierhq.com/register/, it defaults to in line css. The submit button class is button.submit.user-submit. I have managed to style everything else fine, including other buttons on the profile page. Any suggestions?
thanks
I have bbpress installed for forums and i have set it to “Anyone can register”. I would want to allow anyone who is registered to be able to start a topic in the forum but it seems i (admin) am the only one who is allowed to.
Please help.
Thanks
well I don’t think you can merge forums by default in bbPress.
Hello, I have set my forum up with four different forums, but I want to strip this down to two, so effectively merging three forums into one.
How can I do this?
I think there is a plugin to export all the topics and replies of a forum and then you can import the that data into another forum.
I think there is also a different way to do this, some other guy did this with some other plugin. I might have to look that up and see the plugin he used.
Is it better to rename one forum, then move everything from the other two forums into the first?
Or, should I somehow merge all three into one?
I don’t think it matters really?? It might be best just to move all the data in a new forum though.
In any case, how will this affect posters subscriptions? Will they still have direct access to the forums once moved if people add to a topic?
This is a great question about the subscriptions, this will need some testing. I think they can have direct access to the topic once it is moved.
@julia_b (If you’re still waiting for a reply!) – you need to put this in your functions.php file, more info here: https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/
This works great, thanks so much for sharing this code!
I’ve also managed, with very little tweaking, to get this displaying replies under topics within the topics list (this is very rough with some bits commented out but pasting here in case it helps someone)
// https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-latest-reply-or-topic-to-forum-list/
function jagreplies_add_last_reply() { {
$jagreplies_last_reply_id = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_id();
//$jagreplies_last_topic_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id();
$new_args = array(
'post_type'=> 'reply',
'p' => $jagreplies_last_reply_id
);
$post_title_args = array(
'post_type'=> 'topic',
'p' => $jagreplies_last_topic_id
);
$other_args = array(
'post_type'=> 'topic',
'p' => $jagreplies_last_topic_id
);
$jagreplies_query = new WP_Query( $post_title_args );
$nest_query = new WP_Query( $new_args );
$another_nest_query = new WP_Query( $other_args );
if ( $jagreplies_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $jagreplies_query->have_posts() ) : $jagreplies_query->the_post();
$this_post_id=$post->ID;
$this_post_permalink= get_permalink(); ?>
<!--<a href="<?php //echo $this_post_permalink; ?>">-->
<?php endwhile;
endif; wp_reset_query();
if ( $nest_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $nest_query->have_posts() ) : $nest_query->the_post();
$this_post_id=$post->ID;
//$this_post_title= get_the_title();
//$this_post_content= get_the_excerpt();
$this_post_content= the_content(); ?>
<h1><?php echo $this_post_title; ?></h1></a>
<div class="the_content"><?php echo $this_post_content; ?></div>
<?php endwhile;
elseif ( $another_nest_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $another_nest_query->have_posts() ) : $another_nest_query->the_post();
$this_post_id=$post->ID;
//$this_post_title= get_the_title();
//$this_post_content= get_the_excerpt();
$this_post_content= the_content(); ?>
<!--<h1><?php //echo $this_post_title; ?></h1></a>-->
<div class="the_content"><?php echo $this_post_content; ?></div>
<?php endwhile;
endif;
}}
// Hook into action
add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author','jagreplies_add_last_reply');
This is extremely useful in creating a ‘Facebook’ style site where all content can be displayed on one single page (I know, Facebook, yuck! But it’s what ‘the people’ like)
Now I just need to try to get the bbpress Ajax Replies plugin working in conjunction with this so people can post and reply from that single page. Interesting!
**edited to add – if using my code above you may just want to change the last line ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author’ to a different hook depending on where you want to display it, I am using customised templates but I’m not sure how it would look loading the content there if using the default templates
We’re using newsmag theme for http://tuninginsider.com WP 4.2.2. Seems to be kind of conflict we cannot sort. Any idea?
Hi @sceko,
Its working now….a bbpress file was missing in the themes folder hence the disorganized layout.
🙂
Thanks
Thanks @robkk for pointing in the right direction. A bbpress file was missing in the theme’s folder. Was able to figure it out cause it worked in other themes. 🙂 (y) Thanks
Does the bbPress styles work fine in another theme??
try some troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting
install bbPress on your site first if you need more help.
Hello,
I installed a plugin(Sceko/White) to style my bbpress but after uninstalling, the forum page is now disorganized. Topics, Posts and freshness is listed vertically (screenshot attached). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling bbpress but the forum layout is still disorganized.
