Noticed that lots of users are interested about main categories options, like phpbb, vbulletin, and other popular forums are using. And years later there is still nothing???
There is still no options or plugins to make my bbpress look like this one: http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums/ with different main categories like: “General Discussions”, “mechanics discussion”, “player factions”, etc.
When bbpress team will ad that option?
I installed both “fixes” and the search still does not include bbpress topics. For example there are several discussions on dog food and pressure cooker puddings in the forums so if I search for “dog” or “pudding” those topics should be included in the results, but they are not.

I have this theme from ThemeFuse called GameZone, and every changes i have made since the original i usually have fix by my self somehow, but the other day i was tired of PHPBB and converted and move it over completly to BBPress, and it work as is should i got some of the css fix so its almost as ret of the page, the only problem is i found out even i use the themes own “widget” deattachtment for pages i need to be with out side bars Like Guides etc.
Then the BBPress have put my finish touch on hold for the last 36 hrs and i am really irritated over it , because why should a thing i literally find 100 of topics about this problem. Reeally think it is weird there isnt being any solution implented as part of bbpress.
Anyway my forum here is correct size in the “front-page”
1. Frontpage : http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat-forum/
2. Sub-page : http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat/kategori/playstationforum-dk/
As yoy see the sub-page dont have full width even i have remove made a page.php and copy it over to my child theme and rename it to bbpress.php and remmove
<?php get_sidebar();?>
This is mention alot of places and everything there is sidebar related, but i can really not figure out what because no matter what i remove it either remove background completly or remove the sites build up. And i have made a Page for it and use the shortcode. – Still nothing – Hope someone can help. I actually change to bbpress because i though the hardest part would actually import everything from PHPBB
here is my code as it is now
<?php
global $is_tf_blog_page,$post;
$id_post = $post->ID;
if(tfuse_options('blog_page') != 0 && $id_post == tfuse_options('blog_page')) $is_tf_blog_page = true;
get_header();
if ($is_tf_blog_page) die();
?>
<?php $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position(); ?>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('before');?>
<div class="main-row content-row">
<div class="container">
<?php if ($sidebar_position == 'left') : ?>
<div class="middle-main sidebar-left">
<?php endif;?>
<?php if ($sidebar_position == 'right') : ?>
<div class="middle-main content-cols2">
<?php endif;?>
<?php if ($sidebar_position == 'full') : ?>
<div class="middle-main content-full">
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div class="inner">
<article class="post post-details">
<?php if(!tfuse_page_options('hide_title')):?>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo get_the_title();?></h1>
</header>
<?php endif;?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php break; endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div>
</article>
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
<?php tfuse_comments(); ?>
<?php endif;?>
</div>
</div>
<?php if (($sidebar_position == 'right') || ($sidebar_position == 'left')) : ?>
<div id="secondary" class="sidebar widget-area">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('after'); ?>
<?php get_footer();?>
I’m building a new website that, for the first time for me, will require registrations and logins for a forum it’s hosting with bbPress. Here is what I see as the process:
1. A person comes to the site and can browse it just like any site.
2. He/she can go to the various forums and read what’s there.
3. If he/she wants to either answer a question or create a question (topic) he/she will have to login.
4. If the person is not registered, he/she will have to do so.
5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.
6. The user will have to be allowed to change his/her email address.
7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.
I’m not sure how to set this up. I’m using WP 4.1.1 using the Divi theme. I’d appreciate any information on how to set this all up or links to information that will explain how to do it.
TIA,
Martin
No, bbpress is up and running – just the search with the above code added to my functions file no longer shows bbpress topics as part of the results. Will click on the recommended fix links above to see if either fix will bring the results back.
Thanks & Happy Easter!

that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Hi there, could someone help me figure out where to stop my bbpress topic and breadcrumb links from defaulting to target=”_blank”?
When I’m on my forum archive page — or anywhere else on the site — everything is fine, but once I start navigating to topic pages, all of the links start popping up in new windows: http://pafoic.org/forums/
I’m running WordPress 4.1.1 with a Customizr Pro child theme, and bbPress version 2.5.6
I feel like the solution should be somewhere in plugins > bbpress > includes > topics but I’m just not finding it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hey – thanks for at least looking into it. If that’s the worst limitation of bbPress, I have no complaints!
I was just asking here because I thought there might be a simple solution. I guess I could hire a coder and post the fix back here.
can you carry out the steps in
Before Posting
then come back
that was 7 years ago when bbPress was not a WordPress plugin.
just use any normal WordPress theme.
search bbPress compatible WordPress themes in google to find one that should would work great.
or search bbPress in the wordpress add new theme area in the backend of wordpress.
This plugin will help styling bbPress on any WordPress theme though.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
In this topic i read there is an admin area:
How I change theme?
I mean bbPress forum theme only.
great – hopefully a later version of bbpress will fix this
@danajoy2008
oh yeah sorry , put it anywhere you can add Custom CSS.
your child themes style.css
a standalone custom css plugin
jetpack custom css module
you can also place this into your bbpress.css file that should be in your child theme in a CSS folder.
I have also an other request from them that want a like button just as on Facebook
Is that possible with in bbpress?
i already replied to your other topic about a facebook like button.
How can I get a "like button" ala Facebook within bbpress
I taught you where saying that @mentions only worked for buddy press
And use bbpress
it should work for both.
When you have installed both on your site..
If you only have bbPress installed you do not get @mentions.
If you only have BuddyPress installed you get @mentions.
Is buddy press the same?
They both improve your community.
One is just forums (bbPress)
the other is basically a lot features a social network usually has (BuddyPress)
How is buddy press related to bbpress
Same Lead Developer and both provide community functionality.
Can you explain for a none techie what I must do and install
To make tagging work on my bbpress forum
Fist make sure you have installed both BuddyPress and bbPress then go to a topic and try to @mention someone. If it shows up in a link its working on your site.
Tell me if you understand all of this.
I only have 1 registration form. Only 1. the bbp register short code has been deleted but I am still getting the emails from that.
could it be spammer going to this?? instead of the bbPress one that you already deleted.
yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register
I can’t imagine any of these being real since the old registration is gone.
yeah you might as well turn registration off til you get sorted out on this issue.
I can’t find where to deactivate registration.
go to settings > general uncheck Anyone can Register
If I deactivate registration, will that affect the VFBP
when you uncheck anyone can register it should disable this until you activate it.
As long as you use quality plugins for image upload for bbPress like this one you should be fine.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
hosting images elsewhere should help on server disk space though, well unless you have a CDN.
@robkk
Thank you for your patience
I think I don’t understand it

You will make a lot of users of my forum very happy

@pazzaglia1
is it just the search or is it bbPress entirely??
As long as you have the latest bbPress too it should work fine.
usually users that have problems with bbPress when upgrading to WP 4 , we usually recommend these two plugins to help solve their issue.
bbpress wp4 fix
bbpress wp4 fix2
you can also go through the normal troubleshooting to identify an issue.
bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/
@bbc
I already told you how to make @mentions work for bbPress.
Is there anything confusing you from what i said , or do you want @mentions without BuddyPress??
@garrett-eclipse
there are likely other people who have posted a topic like this one from 3 years ago.
you can try the code the user placed below for the bbPress custom post types and see if it works.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-does-blog-become-current_page_parent-with-custom-post-type
try this example, change the colors/remove the text decoration to your liking.
.bbpress bbp-topic-content a,
.bbpress bbp-reply-content a {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
Thanks for your answer. And how can i change themes? I got some really nice themes for bbPress.
@geekserve
what looks awful?? the you are already logged in status?? or how the login widget displays the avatar and profile links if you are logged on.
But to really customize how you want the bbPress login widget to be , the easiest thing to do is create a new widget and base most of the code off of the original bbpress login widget.
