You will have to use
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-topic-index]‘); ?>

With this code, you can insert it anywhere you want just like a regular HTML

Try adding !important – your theme may be overriding the settings viz

As wordpress strips the break and text tags I’m looking for a solution to add line breaks to my bbp_user_decription div.
Here is what did not work:
1.) What I find everywhere is some sort of this added to functions.php:

remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');

This does not work, also looking at wordpress’ recent incl/registration.php just saying this file is deprecated makes me think that this code should not get to work at all.

2.) Alternatively I looked through my themes’files and used

<?php echo nl2br(get_the_author_meta( 'user_description' )); ?>
in content.php. Or <?php echo nl2br(get_the_author_meta( 'description' )); ?> in my author.php

3.) Tried 1) and 2) with bbp_ at the beginning of each decription’s part.

Nothing worked, break-or p-tags are just ignored.
Also, is there a secure way to add break-tags only?
Thanks for any help!

You would need to follow this and create a bbpress.php file and then come back and I will help you with some CSS that you might need.

It looks like it is inheriting different templates for the forum archive and the single forums. From the looks of it the second image looks correct to me. It is displaying the title, but you have leftover post data from your theme like the extra breadcrumbs.

If you did create a bbpress.php rename it to something like bbpressa.php so that it won’t load anymore.

Now if you have what the file still installed, go to the forum archive or /?post_type=forum and see if the page template is different from what the General Forum page has.

The reason why I am saying do this, is to see if bbPress could be inheriting two different templates. It would make sense if the Forum archive would use page.php or even archive.php, and in some cases the single forum pages could be inheriting single.php.

[Robkk]

whoops sorry I messed up the CSS a little. I edited the code above try that now.

[Robkk]

You can try that, but it usually only affects one specific page. Doing it this way means you have to put a shortcode for every bbPress page. It is easier in the end to just create a bbpress.php file in your theme from your page.php file. You can also just tell me your theme (hopefully it is not paid) then I could just do it for you.

[Robkk]

Not entirely sure really but I have tested themes that add next and prev post nav links to bbPress on accident and it seems to work. You may need to add the php tag to the bbPress forum templates, maybe just output it in a bbpress.php file with a condtional to only show on single forums.

bbPress Conditional Tags

@peterdadams

There should be a vBull importer in bbPress.

The W3 Total Cache would help optimize bbPress. Of course it is more important to have high performance hardware on your site, use an opcode cache, possibly an object cache (the plugin helps add a backend file), and keeping your database tidy. Page cache can become a little tricky in some situations but it should be fine using w3 total cache with bbPres.

bbPress is translatable and there are translations for specific langauges.

bbPress could work in multilingual sites. It might be better to just allow your users to contribute their content in their language though. There is an issue using WPML though.

@lightbay

Is there anyway you could embed a forum into another page?

Not the whole bbPress forums like some Iframe embed like some other forums, you can use this shortcode to embed a single forum though.

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

To find the ID, add a plugin like Reveal IDs to help you out find the IDs of all your forums. After installing it go to Forums > All Forums and you should see each forums ID next to it.

There are of course other ways of finding a posts ID and you may not need to install the plugin, it is just better and easier for users.

[Robkk]

This should help.

/*styling to move 'Subscribe' to right hand side */
.single-forum .subscription-toggle  {
    padding-left: 10px;
}

[Robkk]

1. Not entirely sure what the topic frame is, but I like how the title looks good on your site already.

2.

div.bbp-reply-header {
    clear: none;
}

If you need help styling your forums you may need to use the bbp style pack plugin. There are a lot of CSS styles on your site that I can see causing some minor issues with other areas on bbPress, like the Forum Header labels that say Topic and Freshness. You may also need to use a darker image/background for your single forum pages.

If you select a different forum from the dropdown, e.g. SMF what error do you get?

Can you also try using an incorrect password, you should be seeing some kind of errors here rather than nothing each time.

[Robkk]

You might need to look into using LearnPress and this plugin. I think it should do what you want, but you may need to leave a support topic on the plugin’s below support forum just to make sure.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-bbpress/

Or this might be custom development for a plugin.

But what you can do is at the bottom of each post just insert one of the single forum shortcodes.

Like this.

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

You can find the forum id by using a plugin like Reveal IDs to make life easier, and all you have to do is go to Forums > All Forums in the WordPress backend to see all of your forums ids.

Shortcodes

Same thing with topics if you to assign topics for each post.

[Robkk]

Since you still need help on this. First do not import SMF to phpbb, just try leaving it in SMF and import from there. users have had problems importing from phpBB lately but not SMF.

You have to make sure you are not using a remote database.

Make sure to always check the import troubleshooting.

You need help with bbPress using a certain theme template?? Is that what you are saying??

This guide will help you (I hope), I am not entirely sure you want specifically though. I bet the information is useful to learn though.

Try some troubleshooting, and also link to your site to a forum where the error occurs. Also tell me your WordPress and bbPress versions are.

Troubleshooting

[Robin W]

you can use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] in a new page – this will show the latest 15 topics across all forums with pagination.

Here is a working code. Hooray!

function displayTagElements($selectedTags, /* $userRole, */ $task){
   $html= array();
$tags = get_categories(array('hide_empty' => 0, 'taxonomy' => 'topic-tag'));
$selectedTagsArray = explode(',', $selectedTags);
if($userRole != 'bbp_participant' || $task != 'edit') {
    $html[] = "";
    foreach($tags as $tag) {
        $selected = '';
        if (in_array($tag->name, $selectedTagsArray)) {
            $selected = 'checked';
        }
        $html[] = "<input type='checkbox' name='bbp_topic_tags[]'".$selected." value=". $tag->name .">". $tag->name;
    }
} else {
    $html[] = $selectedTags;
}
return implode('', $html);

Hi,

I was not able to find a shortcode like [bbPress_forum] to add a forum on a page. Is there a code available?

[Robkk]

the bbpress.php template looks fine to me.

There might be other custom functions for bbPress somewhere though? or cache?

Try some troubleshooting. See if it is a plugin issue, issue is only present in your custom theme, and maybe run the repair tools to recalculate.

@strategeek

its been a while and im not 100% sure this will work (in terms of sanitation checks) but if you change

$html[] = '<select class="chzn-select" multiple="multiple" name="bbp_topic_tags[]" id="bbp_topic_tags">';
            foreach($tags as $tag){
                $selected = '';
                if (in_array($tag->name, $selectedTagsArray)) {
                   $selected = 'selected="selected"';
                }
                $html[] = '<option '.$selected.' value="'.$tag->name.'">'.$tag->name.'</option>';
            }
        $html[] = '</select>';

to

foreach($tags as $tag){
    $selected = '';
    if (in_array($tag->name, $selectedTagsArray)) {
      $selected = 'checked="selected"';
    }
   $html[] = '<input '.$selected.' type="checkbox" name="bbp_topic_tags" value="'.$tag->name.'">'.$tag->name;
}

i haven’t tested it but it should get you close

@casiepa Thanks for creating a plugin to solve this problem for users. It is greatly appreciated. I have a few questions though.

How do I use it??

The setting are confusing me a little bit, and it doesn’t seem to show the subscriptions, but I do not really know where to manage them in the plugin. I just see a list of users with a button that says `[has role]’. I also do not think your plugin works for sub-forums/child forums of categories.

How does it work exactly??

I try to set it up, but I am still confused. Also there are a few errors while activating it with debug set to true in my wp-config.php file.

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
