I wanted to enable a WP shortcode I have written within bbpress, it seems the common way to do this is to use do_shortcodes($content) on the post, this works fine and I’ve seen it in a number of published plugins.
The problem with this is that it enables all shortcodes including the bbpress ones such as login, stats etc. In fact a number of published plugins suffer from this issue (oops).
The best solution I’ve come across is using the whitelist plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/
But I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas?
Could a new bbpress action for registering shortcodes be added? Then any plugin author just has to register their own new one and not have to worry.
My other idea is to do a find/replace on “[” before my do_shortcodes call, switch them to something else, and then switch them back after, but leaving my own shortcodes unchanged.
Anyone else had this prob? Anyone using a plugin that hasn’t taken this into consideration?! (try adding a bbpress shortcode to a post and seeing what happens!)
Big thanks to the Ians then, I rely on this, keep up the good work.
It depends on what you need done in order to properly quote someone a price. We do quite a few BBPress and WHMCS theme integrations with WP.
Ultimately, you should pick someone that you’re comfortable with after they have thoroughly looked at your site and gathered the required information about the changes you want.
We are a California based company with all staff located in the US. If you’d like us to take a look at your site and talk to you about changes we be more than happy to do so.

The approach in bbPress core is slightly different than what @jmdodd’s plugin originally did. You’ll want to test and let us know how it fares.
Just as a follow-up… my conversion did complete successfully! and I got it moved back to my hosting server. Everything seems to be working fine. I ran all the repair tools and that certainly fixed all the mis-matched posts…so that’s good. I’m not really sure how long it took, but I’m guessing it was about 8-10 hours. …and it seemed to go at a pretty stable pace throughout. I didn’t really notice a slow-down. I ran it on a macbook pro i7 w/ 4gb ram.
I have noticed that the post counts shown in the admin cp do not necessarily match what is shown on the user side, with the user side being correct (even after running the re-counters). It’s not that big of a deal, it just almost gave me a heart attack since I thought a whole group of posts was missing. But they’re there safe and sound after all. So I’m not sure what’s up with that.
So now I’m just trying to figure out what type of theme I want to use…and hopefully I can get the site active again.
@Stephen Edgar – if you are making changes to the vBulletin importer and would like to have someone test on a larger db, I would be glad to do it.
Thanks!

@stephen Again great work on the importer. Are MyBB PM (Private Messages) included in the import process?
I did a search, but didn’t see anything recent.
I’m shocked that such a staple of forums isn’t included with bbPress. Any recommended plugins would be great.
bbPress 2.4 introduces hierarchical replies, allowing you to pick between paginated topics or a hierarchy (similar to WordPress’s comments.)
FirmaSite is already supporting bbPress with hierarchical replies! Its free and approved by official theme reviewers in wordpress.org
Example Forum: http://demo.theme.firmasite.com/forums/
Example Threaded Topic: http://demo.theme.firmasite.com/forums/topic/example-threaded-topic/
You can read user’s reviews!
If you willing to use https://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite theme for bbpress, i can make customization for it.
Default forum example: http://demo.theme.firmasite.com/forums/ (You can change style from top-left icon)
There is a customized version of bbpress style: http://social.theme.firmasite.com/forums/
Before i start to build your theme, you have to provide some things:
▶ Your custom website design ideas. All details. You cant change this one after i start to build your theme.
▶ All design assets if you need any. (logo,images etc)
▶ Your preferred custom/premium bootstrap skins. Yes, you can select multiple and change whenever you want! (Please dont request more then 5) You can create yourself or buy from: http://codecanyon.net/category/skins/bootstrap
▶ Your preferred custom/premium icon font pack. (I can include my premium icon pack for your theme. Example icons: http://shop.theme.firmasite.com/premium-icons/ )
I can finish this in 10~days with 3 revision for 700$ and 1 year bug fix support. You can pay from paypal. If you want to keep your theme up-to-date after 1 year, you can pay 200$ per year.

I’ve just installed bbpress 2.3.2 and created a forum and some topics.
I tried to search the forum and it results no results with the message “Oh bother! No search results were found here!”
I tried all the different words from both the title and topic message without any result.
Is there something I need to enable in bbpress to allow the forums to be searchable?

Hi community,
I need to setup the ckeditor for bbpress.
I have install the ckeditor plugin (v4.0) for wordpress
http://wordpress.org/plugins/ckeditor-for-wordpress/
It works in the post area, but not in bbpress replies and topics.
Is any setup that I can do, an enable function like tinyMCE made?
My instalation:
WPMU 3.6
Bbpress 2.3.2
buddypress 1.7.2
other plugins
Thanks
Yes, just tedious with hundreds/thousands of imported_users.
Cool… I Try to subscribe to all the importer topics here but occasionally miss some.
As to any ‘imported_username’ this is a feature of the importer so if a user already exists with that username an additional username is created with the prefix ‘imported_’ in front of the username. If you go to the WordPress User admin and select the ‘imported_username’ user and select delete on that user you will then be prompted to delete the user but attribute all posts to another user, select the original (i.e Non ‘imported_’ username) and all their posts, topics, replies etc will then be attributed to that user.
Stephen, if you want admin/test access to a mostly working import from vbulletin to phpbb to bbpress, let me know if it would be helpful. There are quite a few users that have import_ in from of their usernames and duplicate users.
Hi, I need some help. I have a BBPRESS installation but when I create sticky or super sticky posts its going to the bottom of the forum rather then the top. Can anyone help?
Hey y’all
I’ve got a problem with BBPress where it won’t add any new forums.
I have even installed the admin bar, when I press add forum through that I get a page saying “cheating eh”.
Does anyone know how to fix this and how I can add a new forum?
Thank you,
Dean
@mchl Excellent that you now have a working migration. I don’t know of any outstanding issues for any {{{wp_insert_post}}} memory leak, now could I see any issue regarding this in WP Trac.
@leahcar8 Looks like your getting closer and closer to getting there too 🙂
I am doing lots of work on all ~20 importers at the moment that with all this feedback I will try to look at optimizing both the importer and the SQL queries used for inclusion in bbPress 2.5.
All these little gotchyas, tips, tricks and feedback is extremely helpful so I will also get the docs updated to include as much of this info to. 🙂
No, by default bbPress does not have a ‘post preview’ feature at this stage.
There are various plugins for using different editors and some are compatible with bbPress and some have a post preview.
Take a look around https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and see if anything is suitable.
I have a bbpress installed and have someone who has done some basic customizations, but I am looking for a little more advanced work. Anyone know of a user here or a place where I can request some custom work for hire?
For some reason I get these messages when I try to create a new post in my forum:
ERROR: Invalid author name submitted!
ERROR: Invalid email address submitted!
ERROR: The following problem(s) have been found with your topic:
I get this even when I’m logged in as admin or moderator. Any ideas on what’s going on? It had been working fine. I don’t remember installing any new plugins or changing any settings. Tried this on two different browsers.
Using WordPress 3.6 and bbpress 2.3.2
this is a major missing piece of the bbpress puzzle, restrict specific forum access to a specific user role
best solution i’ve seen so far is here –
Forum visible to specific role
also search through the tags i added to this topic for other solutions
hopefully we will see better access permission control in bbpress someday, but it does not seem to even be on the dev roadmap at this point 🙁

Ive managed to get a full forum migration to complete. After upgrading our server and trying on my local machine (mac laptop) i thought i’d have a try on my local machine at work (iMac with decent processor & ram), and after ~6.5hrs the whole forum had been migrated over.
After speaking with a couple of people it turns out that wp_insert_post has a memory leak, and could be causing the import process to slow down and eventually stall on a large migration. I’m happy for anyone to jump in and clarify whether this may be the case and expand on this.
After the migration I ran all the ‘repair forum’ functions and it assigned all the topics and replies to their correct parents.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
bbpress: 2.3.2
wordpress: 3.6
– – – – – – – – –
what i need:
wordpress has 6 user groups, thats nice, but i nedd 3 additional user groups:
– Forum User A
– Forum User B
– Forum User C
i have 3 Forums (you guess it: “forum A (bananas)”, “forum B (Apples)” and “forum C (Peaches)”.
i create all users and send them their access per mail.
i want to add these users to one of these groups, some to two of these groups and some to all groups. if a user in in group “Forum A” he can only access “forum a (bananas). means that the users can only access the forums i allow them.
is there a way to do this?
Hi Everyone!
For my main forum homepage or the archive i want to display different forums into sections rather than having a list of forums that is the bbpress default.
So this is the code used to display all the forums,
<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-forum' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
So how would i add some arguments to this to display certain forums from there ID’s?
Also on the main page i want to show 5 recent topics, i believe the loop code is this,
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
If anyone has managed to use a custom loop using the above code to display 5 recent topics or a custom WP_Query, i’ll be very grateful if you could show some example code.
Kind Regards
~ Matt
Hi,
Your best bet would be to create a custom page template for your WordPress theme where you basically display the header and footer without the sidebar.
Create three custom templates, sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar, for your default page.php file in your wordpress theme make it so it doesn’t have any sidebars. Then by default bbpress will use this page to display the forum.
