Did anybody find a way to make this work, I have a theme with exactly the same issue and cannot seem to find the correct page template to hook into. Is there another way to solve this? The forum main index and subsequent bbpress pages all display correct just minus the search box and login links etc. If I use the short code they do display correctly.

@3sixty would really like to see the code you made 4 years ago.

Hi,

I started to setup my first forum.
For me it is necessary to share files.
I’m using the WordpRess Download Manager PlugIn
https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/
to share files and I have the following problem:

I would like to use the Short-Codes (e.g. [wpdm_package id=’120′])
of the Download Manager to insert files into a Topic, but ist doesn’t work.
The Topic displays only the commands and doesn’t display the designed download buttons.

Is anyone able to help? Or should I use an other PlugIn to share files?

Thx for your help.

You would add the titles in between

eg

title a

[shortcode]

title b

[shortcode]

and use the page styling to make the titles header, or bold or whatever

The ‘forum’ is a column header

[Stuart Neilson]

Is it possible to have more than one create a topic form on the forum page?

I’d like one at the top and bottom of the forum list, i’ve added a second

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

to the top of content-single-forum.php

They are both hidden inside collapsing divs which are toggled by a “new topic” button, the first form at the top works fine but the second at the bottom shows no quicktags-toolbar.

What do I need to do so that both work?

I also have an issue where if I press tab from inside the topic title field of the first form it moves me down to the second forms “wp-editor-area”

Hi there,

I have been trying to follow the instruction on your page: http://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/

I searched online and via the wordpress dashboard for the plugin mentioned ‘wp modal login’ and I can’t find it?

If not, does anyone have the link for it, or instructions for another one that will work with bbPress? (I’m using the most recent version of WordPress, bbPress and Canvas theme)

Many thanks

Hi there,

I’ve been working around bbpress for the past 5 hours, and i’m now using the plugin bbpress addition shortcodes to build my forum.

This is my forum:
http://invaderz.pt/community/?page_id=29

As you can see, i have multiple forum indexes, but they all have the same name. But i need them to have different names from each other.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thank you for you time,
Miguel

[Robin W]

no, sorry but the site uses a database and php to call the code

if you know html, then getting into php is not so bad, but maybe do some training first, this is a good intro

the try widget logic

Download “widget logic”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

This plugin lets you specify conditions for when widget items are displayed.

You would then put all the widgets for both the blog page and the forum page in one sidebar

Against each of these you then specify whether you want it to appear on the forum page, on any page with a sidebar that is not the forum (eg your blog), or on both forum and other sidebar pages.

you do this by putting the following code in the widget logic box that you will see appears against each widget

For a forum sidebar you put : is_bbpress() ie is this page a forum page
For any other sidebar you put : !is_bbpress() ie is this page NOT a forum page
For any item to appear on both, simply leave the logic blank.

Give that a try and come back and let us know how it works

Hey,

Nice plugin. Reduces allot of the headache when it comes to customizing bbpress looks 🙂

One thing I cant get to work around thou is the Forum Template Extras that comes with it. I followed the instructions provided, copied the code from loop-forums.php to my bbpress folder but for some reason the I cant see any effect of it on my forums :(.

[mhairilongmuir]

I am having the same problem – I have followed the instructions in the codex, and added WP Tweaks, but my custom sidebar for the forum page is not showing. When I go in and edit bbpress.php manually via the editor, the changes show in the sidebar. But when I try to do it via the widgetized area, the bbpress sidebar doesn’t show.

I also tried Robin W’s fix – moving the widgets out of the area and switching off the plugin etc, but that also didn’t work.

I am using a child theme of Canvas, and have also implemented the ‘Fix for BBPress and Canvas (5.2 and higher)’ Fix for BBPress and Canvas (5.2 and higher) –

[Robin W]

yes but you’ll need to do some coding

see

http://generatewp.com/shortcodes/

the code would go in your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

and the code you’ll be seeking to shortcode is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

in particular

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

Hello everyone, I’m having a problem. I am using something called uerpro, and I integrated it into bbpress, but it now makes it where the profile links to the userpro profiles. This is what I want, but I was wondering if the things like: New posts, replies, signature and everything that was in the bbpress profile page can be put into the userpro profile page. It uses a single page as the template, so if there are shortcodes or something, that would be perfect. Thank you for any help!

[Robkk]

i think its custom code that bbpress.org has, but basically its a customized WordPress Admin bar

Hello!

I’ve stumbled across that problem today. Let’s say I make a forum of ID 65 private in bbPress’ settings.

Then, somewhere in my template I’m using get_posts to pull some custom post type content which has nothing to do with the forums. When there is no user with sufficient privileges logged in, bbPress adds following SQL to my query:
... INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) ...
and

... AND ( 
  ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_forum_id' AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) != '65' )
) ... 

which always ends up breaking my query, since the posts I’m querying for do not have meta_key entries of ‘_bbp_forum_id’.

I’ve switched the plugin off temporarily, but that doesn’t solve the problem for good.

[Robin W]

something like

function rew_max_shown ($args) {
$args['max_num_pages'] = 2 ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'rew_max_shown') ; 

in your functions file

[Robkk]

use the shortcodes

here is the one for the new topic form

[bbp-topic-form]

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Robkk]

give me your theme name

I have tried using all of the bolded .php page options as well as copying the single.php into the bbpress plug in php page.

to me this sounds like your not doing it right

follow this guide

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

and this too

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

it could also be a theme or plugin issue.

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.

[Robkk]

i think it might be content-single-user.php in the bbPress templates …im not sure how customizing this file will translate into the BuddyPress menus though.

[Robkk]

when theme developers say their theme is “bbPress ready”

it usually means they followed this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Are there special features included in bbPress ready themes, if so what are the features called?

There could showing post count below the author avatar but you can easily do that by installing Robins plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/.

I have seen some themes have applied styling to some unread posts plugin , but really nothing too crazy that you cant get with free plugins and doing it manually without causing a hard time developing.

@jmeyer2485

bbpress.org adds that background color around the forum name using this CSS code.

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta .bbp-topic-started-in a {
background-color: #328C00;
}

of course you can only see it on super-sticky topics and also when your forum root is showing topics by freshness

[WilRC]

Any news on this?
using several shortcodes breaks the paginationfunction! I have these shortcodes:

[bbp-forum-index]
[tabs type="horizontal"] [tabs_head] [tab_title]Recente Topics[/tab_title] [tab_title]Ongelezen Topics[/tab_title] [tab_title]Zoeken[/tab_title] [/tabs_head] [tab][bbp-topic-index][/tab] [tab][bbp-single-view id="no-replies"][/tab] [tab][bbp-search-form][/tab] [/tabs]

Clicking on page2 gives a no resultpage!

try

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

come back if you need further help

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve looked ta the page

your style.css has

.row .col img {
    height: auto;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    max-width: 100%;
    width: auto;
}

around line 1929

The width: auto;
is causing the issue, remove that and the image reverts to 14 – but around 30 looks good !

adding

margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto

will also center the image

so you end up with

.row .col img {
    height: auto;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    max-width: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

If just for bbpress then

#bbpress-forums .row .col img {
    height: auto;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    max-width: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

[Robin W]

ok, it’s your theme that’s causing the issue, some theme authors are too clever with their coding, and bbpress uses a category of archive, hence why it is displaying this sidebar. Also I suspect the theme won’t be allowing dynamic sidebars, hence why tweaks isn’t working.

So onto plan b !

install a plugin called ‘widget logic’

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

Then against each widget in your archive/post/search sidebar, you’ll see an extra field called widget logic

If you want that widget only in bbpress forums put

is_bbpress()

in to that line

if you don’t want that widget in bbpress, but do want it in other pages that use the archive/post/search sidebar the put

!is_bbpress()

in the widget logic area

If you want in both, then leave widget logic blank.
