ok, well without spending hours recreating your issue, I’d suggest you try

<?php
 $idbbp = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'idbbp', true);
 $forum_id = bbpress()->current_forum_id = $idbbp;
$x='[bbp-single-forum id forum id ="'.$forum_id.'"]‘ ;
 echo do_shortcode( $x);

[Robin W]

I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

I installed the plugin Easy digital downloads that creates custom record types post_type = download. I edited single.php file removed <? Php comments_template ();?> And I want to insert the code to show the theme of the forum bbpress renamed to the new file single-download.php
In the custom field on the product page I insert ID Forum.

I found a topic on this issue, however I Didnt managed to fix it ( Im using Magicraft theme by the way )

I found the bbpress.css and added:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed a {
color: #ccc;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
background-color: #ffffe0 !important;
}

Anyway, even if the gray out issue was fixed, I still can’t see any content of the closed topic.

[Robin W]

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

and you’ll see a capability for a user to close their own topics.

you need to either amend the participant role, or create a new role with this capability

see https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

Hello everyone,

After searching about a hour I gave up and decided to create a topic.
I hope that there’s a plugin somewhere in the corners of bbpress which suits the idea i have.

I managed to block the creation of topics using the ‘bbPress Protected Forums’ plugin, however I can not find any plugins to block replies/comments on these topics.

I would like to add this since I will be adding a ‘Read this first before you post!’ with the rules in it at every single subforum and I dont want any replies on those.

Could anyone help me out with this?

OS: CentOS 7
Wordpress version: 4.0
bbpress version: 2.5.4
bbPress Protected Forums version: 1.0

Can it be installed on a club website for “members only” to view the whole bbPress section?
• Can you set up different forums to be only accessed/viewable to certain members?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

• Can it host pictures?

Usually people use

[Robin W]

i have created custom role’s (parent and teacher)

How have you done this – using a plugin or by coding?

set dynamic role for bbpress forum itself

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

ok, some themes don’t like this way to display.

so I try

look at item 3 and try method 2.

If that doesn’t work then come back

[Robin W]

ok, than, I now understand.

I just installed the latest version of bbPress and am going through all the configuration right now. I have everything almost exactly how I want it except the login. When a player registers for the site, they are redirected to the /wp-login page and sent an email from wordpress. Is there any way to change that page and to customize the email that they are sent to say the name of my organization instead of wordpress?

@bestru, to your four questions, no, no, oh, and no 🙁

Attachments are on the drawing board for a future release, it is a complex request because as attachments can be various file types and in particular size is the killer here, during import waiting for a file from what could be a remote source is what breaks this for us, I have a solution planned and have started testing this but at this stage it is a no go for now, avatars are also in this same boat.

For private message you will need a plugin as bbPress does not suppoort private messages out of the box, maybe BuddyPress would do the trick for you here, I’d like to be able to import private messages as BuddyPress private messages in a furture version though.

The post date should be accurate, you should have your WordPress install using the same timezone offset as your existing forum used and then times should match.

im busy trying to overhaul the design of my site, change to a better ssd hosting, and some other stuff thats making me quite busy.

the layout that im going to share is quite different than the one im going to use on my site.

the layout im going to share will not have the profile dropdown menu, forum color coordination, and topic stats inside of the actual topic post, reply upvoting , reply and topic sharing,

forum color coordination will basically be a modified version of this plugin https://github.com/master5o1/bbPress-Forum-Colours

topic stats inside of the actual topic is easy its bascially just putting code thats already in bbpress and just styling around it. i just want to leave that out of the layout.

reply upvoting is just a modified plugin i found , i think it was this https://wordpress.org/plugins/like-dislike-counter-for-posts-pages-and-comments/
im am not a fan really of reply upvoting anymore because all i see it as is just a number.
i would like an upvoting plugin that sort of works like reddit that bumps up the topic, or sorts topics by popularity which i think you can do if you do a custom view in bbpress, or like how wordpress.com likes work or like buddypress favorites but i havent learned enough to know to do this myself.

reply sharing i thought was kind of useless in my opinion too, because i want people to just share the topic and bring them in the topic than to see a certain reply of the topic.

topic sharing i didnt add because i just used jetpacks sharing and people hate on jetpack alot so i cant just leave that there for them, i will leave a comment in the templates on where to put some sharing plugins template tag code though.

the shortened edit log is basically the modified time template tag that wordpress supplies.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_modified_time
with the revision count, i used something custom til i looked into the templates of bbpress to find that they have a template tag for reply/topic revision count so im using that now in the layout.

topic/reply admin links will have icons but instead it will be genericons or dashicons then the fontawesome icons i am using.

the overall layout will stay the same with big avatars in the topics loop, removing small avatar, yeah the rest of the layout.

and also there are many ways i found of created a better mobile layout, so i might share those later too.

Hi

WP version 4, bbpress 2.5.4

I’m having issues with bbpress and Hueman theme. The problem seems to be some kind of conflict in using page.php as a wrapper for the forum pages.

If I copy, for example, single-topic.php from the bbpress templates/extras folder to the theme root, everything shows on the page, but the formatting is all messed up (lack of padding, sidebar widgets below the actual sidebar, etc), because the page.php wrapper doesn’t seem to load at all:

http://www.eslbase2.com/forum/viewtopic/help-with-present-perfect

If I don’t copy the file over to the theme root from bbpress templates/extras, then the page.php classes all load so the page is rendered correctly, but some vital things are missing, like the title of the forum in this example:

http://www.eslbase2.com/forum/viewforum/grammar-vocabulary

Any ideas how to fix this?

Many thanks

How to make a page conclusion shortcode bbp-single-forum using custom fields?
I created a custom field ‘idbbp’, found ID single topic.
On the page posted the following code:

<?php 
    $idbbp = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'idbbp', true);
    $forum_id = bbpress()->current_forum_id = $idbbp;
    echo( bbpress()->shortcodes->display_forum($forum_id));
?>

but it does not work for me. Tell me please what I did wrong.

I’m using the wordpress theme Academy which uses the wordpress profile and gives the ability to upload an avatar. I want this same avatar to carry over to the user’s bbpress avatar. Therefore, when a new uploads a new avatar to the wordpress profile, it’s automatically displayed in bbpress.

ONE IMPORTANT POINT. When I click “edit” on my bbpress forum profile, it does show the wordpress avatar as the “profile photo” with a browse button, but the main avatar in the upper left-hand corner still shows the default gray image.

Hello,

I upgrated bbpress from 2.3 to 2.5.4 and the CODE tag doesn’t work. It execute code instead display. I have mess on each page when user pasted code wrapped by CODE tag.

[caesarhills]

Seems it’s a common request: I’ve also spent last days looking for a way to upload inline images in bbpress forum but still with no luck.
Are there any updates for this option? It is essential for my forum, cause it should work as a blog where forum’s members open their threads as posts, meaning, text and images: nobody would click over an attacchments, so I need inline images.
I’ve also installed buddypress and for what concern the admin of the forum is possible with the (media button ) to upload inline images and videos, but as I said it works just for the admin when opening a new thread: after that, there s no way even for the admin to add media in his replies

Okay, here we go i’m new to wordpress and using bbpress plugin for the first time, so throws me out with lots of question. I’m designing a site Called PTForum that is completely a Parent and teacher forum i’ve tried and have come to some good position modifying bbpress as per my needs but i’m stopped to problem that i’m unable to understand how to do so please any help will be appreciated.

As bbpress show’s up default role’s (participant,moderator…) in the forum topic’s and replies but as per my needs i want this way …
1) Either display my site role, as per needs i have created custom role’s (parent and teacher) which user choose while registration and so want the same role to be displayed in the forum.

————–or————–

2) set dynamic role for bbpress forum itself so that it displays the selected role.

Thanks in advance …. you can vist this

Hey:) I’ve already installed bbpress forum and plugin which enable comments under the post, i.e http://porady.mobi/jesienne-konfitury-na-co-zwracac-uwage/ and http://porady.mobi/jesienne-konfitury-na-co-zwracac-uwage/#respond . As the title of the site http://porady.mobi/temat/jesienne-konfitury-na-co-zwracac-uwage/ I have <title>Jesienne konfitury – na co zwracać uwagę? | Porady</title> but I would like something like that <title>Forum: forum’s name |Jesienne konfitury – na co zwracać uwagę? | Porady</title>
Where can I change it and how can I do it? In which file.php?

[Killerrabbit2]

I gave you his info because I paid him (a modest amount) to develop plugins to solve the problem. It would be great if he can get a donation.

Here are the problems he solved:

1. If you are a user and subscribe to a topic you will get notifications. However, if you actually post to the topic and do not check the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” it will unsubscribe you from the topic. Robin created a plugin that makes the check box automatically checked if you are subscribed to a topic.

2. If a user subscribes to a forum he not automatically subscribed to new topics. Robin created a plugin to fix that as well. The only thing that you have to consider is that if there is an existing forum, once a user is subscribed they will not receive notifications to previous topics. If they are interested in them then they would need to go back and subscribe to those specific topics. However, going forward a user would always be notified of new topics posted.

Hope this helps. Again, Robin is great and I would love to see him be rewarded for fixing huge bugs within bbPress.

I have a few questions:

• Can it be installed on a club website for “members only” to view the whole bbPress section?
• Can it host pictures?
• Can you set up different forums to be only accessed/viewable to certain members?

I may have a few more questions later, since I’m new to wordpress.

[caesarhills]

hi,
I’m using BBpress 2.5.4 and buddypress.2.1.1.
I’d need for my forum a simple button for members to create new topic as I want they to see that option as soon as they log into the forum.
Is there anything similar to what I ask?
Thanks all in advance
