when I go to my forum page, sometimes the categories don’t show up and when I go to the category page sometimes the topics don’t show up… Also when I click the link at the top of my site which points to http://sonsofanarchyforever.com/forum/ it goes to random topics, instead of /forum/… Any thoughts?

Hello, thank you very much, I did as you wrote,
I re-saved the permalinks
I created a new page and inserted this shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
and breadcrumb now is: Home › Forums
while I changed the name of the root from ‘forums’ to ‘blogs’ because I want bbpress to show ‘blogs’ as its title and name everywhere in bbpress.
Thank you in advance

How can i overwrite bbpress functions? I want to pass custom arguments in:
function bbp_get_topic_admin_links()
function bbp_get_reply_admin_links()
and
function bbp_list_forums();

example:
i want to remove the seperator form bbp_list_forums: ‘separator’ => ‘, ‘
now i modified the corresponding template.php files. but i think its better to find the righ hooks to pass custom arguments to those functions?!

thanks!

I really struggled to find a polls feature for bbPress that met my needs, so I created my own!
It’s here if anyone wants it:

Hi, I have the exact same problem, did you manage to fix this @estepix ?
or did you have to use the outdated plugin Threaded Replies? :/

I really need pagination WITH threaded replies on my bbpress forum the same way @estepix explained it. Because when a topic has over 500+ replies it is NOT conceivable to display them on the SAME page.

Do someone have a trick to do the following?

Enable threaded replies N levels deep

Break replies into pages with N top level replies per page and the first/last page displayed by default
Replies should be displayed with the older/newer replies at the top of the page

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

Hi Mycelus,

I would recommend trying to gain a little css knowledge if your up for the challenge as it can get a lot done with WordPress and bbPress. Even just by hiding things with display:none or positioning things absolutely to get them in the right place.

If you want to try and get the look and feel of phpbb or ipboard then you could take a look at the bbPress starter theme I created. It gets you onto a good footing with the layout and then you can go onto styling the colours from there.

http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/bbpress-tutorials/bbpress-starter-theme/.

You can also find the topic about it here on bbPress: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/.

Good luck! 🙂

[Mycelus]

Hey guys. So I’m used to the regular forum format like phpBB and IP Board where it looks like this: http://imgur.com/XlyR6cc

So, where it says Welcome to IPS, that’s the category name.

Under that, you have News and Information, and Pre-Sales, those are your FORUMS.

Then you have a space underneath the categories as can be seen in the picture.

This makes sense because your CATEGORIES are SEPARATED from each other, and the FORUMS, are listed underneath.

The way bbPress it, you can click a category. This makes ZERO sense, there is NO reason to click on the category.

Also, as can also be seen in the picture, the amount of topics, and replies are to the right side, with the recent reply, time, latest thread, and time to the right.

This can be done by anyone with some moderate CSS knowledge and WordPress know how, unfortunately I possess little of both.

So I’m here for your help. Please share your wisdom with me and help me get this layout. This is a layout SO many people have asked for, yet I have found no tutorials on getting anything like this and it just astounds me considering how popular bbPress is, I don’t know why bbPress has a god awful layout.

Note: Please do not make any “well this is how bbPress is supposed to look like so you should deal with it” comments. I’m not here to hear that.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me achieve this. I really appreciate it.

Most likely a plugin conflict with another plugin.

To try and resolve the conflict start deactivating each of your other plugins that are activated, when the bbPress menus return you know which plugin was causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

Is that a bbPress site?

There are some docs on the codex to get you started modifying your bbPress setup

* What are the best plugins to make bbpress mobile responsive?

bbPress included CSS is responsive, a few tweaks maybe needed if your theme is overriding these.

* I need as much facebook integration as possible, what plugins are there for bbpress?

No idea, I don’t have a Facebook account 😛

Have a look in the WP Plugins repo https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+facebook

* Is there any @mention/quote functions that can be added to reply to people?

bbPress includes @mentions, i.e. @soprano linking to the user profile, if you want email notifications and the like add BuddyPress and enable the ‘Notifications’ component.

I’m looking for a few plugins to see if bbpress can do what I want with my community and I thought you guys might have some great suggestions.

• What are the best plugins to make bbpress mobile responsive?
• I need as much facebook integration as possible, what plugins are there for bbpress?
• Is there any @mention/quote functions that can be added to reply to people?

My current community is use to facebook groups type of an environment, so I’m trying to offer an easy and attractive alternative so they can transition into a community that I have more customization control.

Thank you!

Had WPMU Forums installed when I installed bbPress. Deactivated it and removed all files. Installed bbPress fresh. Still, no “Forums” in admin menu (left dashboard). Help?

[jslom]

Thanks @Robin W. I understand this is free, just like the millions of other scripts/software online.. What I don’t understand is how such a popular script has no developers support on their forums, or even documentation on how to achieve certain things within their script. I have used plenty of open source scripts, and have always had some type of reply or documentation from a person who knew about it.

I would of course post the solution if I had at least the right documentation to achieve it.

Here is what the wordpress documentation on how to insert a post, and I believe it would be somewhat the same within a bbpress post, but have no idea since it is not documented anywhere that I see.

I am building an extension plugin for MailPoet to allow users to subscribe to a newsletter when they register on the forum.

I have my admin settings field shown in bbPress but I when it comes to saving the options I do not get the value I either entered or selected. All values save with a zero.

Can I have some assistants to get my custom settings fully operational.

I have my plugin available on GitHub as it is right now to show what I have done and for you to download and test your self.

I hope someone can help me correct this please.

Any help is most appreciated.

Thank you.

Hey all,

I’m trying to set up a forum using bbPress. I’ve come a long way, but I just can’t seem to get this strange background color removed.

As shown in the picture, there’s a grey-ish background color behind the avatar of people replying to the topic. The topic starter doesn’t have the background color.

Could anyone tell me how to remove this?

Now I’m getting a file doesn’t exist error, so it seems to be the file having the problem.

Warning: require(/site/folders/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /site/folders/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 314

Like I said, I’m running latest versions of all the systems, bbPress is the stable release 2.5.3. D:

[Robin W]

Yes that is really quite good looking, I’d like to copy that also !

The inloggen is in the menu, so it is a call from menu item.

The site is using wordpress twentytwelve, but I don’t know whether it’s a plugin or they have coded it for themselves.

I have contacted the site to see if they’d tell us how they did it. If I get a reply I’ll let you know !

Maybe another support person on here knows how to code this – it’s actually a wordpress rather than bbPress solution.

[Robin W]

Which version of bbPress are you one, whilst I have your lines of code, my line 1766 of this file is in a different place than yours, and your line 1723 is my line 1700, suggesting you have extra stuff.

Might be worth you downloading a fresh version of the plugin to your pc, and cracking open this file to see if it’s the same.

Deactivated three plugins and tried installing bbPress and it’s still returning the error. I don’t know what to do and it’s annoying. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

I have created a site using WordPress 3.8.1 and bbPress 2.5.3. Search page don’t work. This is an example: http://dev.nesiditsa.ru/forum/forums/general
I use standard bbPress search form, but on a page of results I see content of main page of site. How solve this problem? Any idea?

[iejigna]

Hi,
In our site,
Topics with the status – pending are counted in topic summary text but not listed in topic list(as its pending,)
Topic count is stored in table name wp_postmeta with meta-key – _bbp_topic_count.
_bbp_topic_count is count of all topics including ‘pending’ topic.

How can I get count of topics with status ‘open’ in my summary?

We are using bbpress version 2.5.3 and wordpress 3.8.1
