use robins plugin.

bbp additional shortcodes

remember to read on how to use the plugin on that page too.

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast deactivate the new ui plugin, if you still have a problem reply back.

@mnhfile

just post the css code in just one thing, dont put it into two places.And if you also have bbpress new ui deactivate that.

to make categorized forums, first go to the forums section in the backend click the menu link with the beehive.

whatever forum you want to make a category change the type in the sidebar in the right. change from forum to category.

to add forums to this category, click any forum you want to be a child of the category and make the parent the certain category.

change the order number to customize the positioning, top category starts at zero then the children forums go off that.

you should end up with something like this.

first category 0
-first forum 1
-second forum 2
-third forum 3
second category 4
-fourth forum 5
-fifth forum 6
third category 7
-sixth forum 8

Thank you Robin!
This code works for me.

function bbp_single_replies_show($args) {
if(is_singular( 'download' )) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 3 ;
$args['max_num_pages'] = 1;
}
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args','bbp_single_replies_show');

Now I have a custom page type post comments remove, and set the theme forum with the number of responses 3. Thank you very much.

[Robin W]

Then the changes have not reverted !!

Are you running any caching software?

Otherwise re-install bbpress (you’ll not lose ant data) and start again.

This time don’t alter core files, use a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[mnhfile]

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ I past the codes to bbpress.css and child theme css … nothing happens … I alter the codes and add another one with !important tag but all in vain…

One more question bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes how to install these themes only in bbpress forums. please give me some illustration ..
I try a lot of methods like
-copy bb theme files to child main theme directory
-rename bb theme style.css to bbpress.css and paste to child theme directory ..I past in main folder as well as in css folder of child theme..

I shall be thankful to you if you help me in installing premade custom layouts of bbpress theme

Hi guys,
I’m using [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to display a list of topics in my home page. That shortcode displays a list of 15 topics and I’d need to limit that number. Can I add some instruction to the shortcode or I need to modify the php function?
Thank you

bbPress Styling Crib

[Robin W]

yes,

Your ‘experts’ will be participants, or even moderators.

Then for your ‘normal’ you’ll need to set up a custom role

see

Custom Capabilities

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

you just need to set up a role where the user can not do any of the reply capabilities

If you are then allowing some form of automatic registration, then set the default bbpress role to this custom one in dashboard>settings>forums auto role

[Robin W]

bbPress Styling Crib

[Robin W]

try

function bbp_single_replies_show($args) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 3 ;
$args['max_num_pages'] = 1;
 return $args;
 }
 add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args','bbp_single_replies_show');

I have not tested – I am quite busy at the moment – but keep trying !

[jessy]

1, Install plugin: WPFront User Role Editor
2, Go to Roles => Settings and check “Override Edit Permissions” Save it.
2, Go to Roles => All roles => and choose Participant, it has 8 or more capabilities
3, You need uncheck publish_topics and edit_topics and assign_topic_tags and delete_topic_tags
4, Save it.

You do not need to change php code as above 🙂

If you need my own participation, send me your e-mail address.

1. follow this link look at number 1 to see if you have the right css , copy that into whatever place you can put custom css

jetpack custom css module
custom css plugin
bbpress.css

bbPress Styling Crib

2. Follow this link and follow these instructions

To use this template:

1. Download the file below to your PC, and unzip it.
2. Using FTP go into your theme, and create a bbpress folder
wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress

where your-theme-name is the name of your theme
3. Copy the file you downloaded to this folder, so that you end up with
wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress/loop-forums.php

Alternate bbpress index page

here are some more links in the codex that might be useful

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

if you still dont see any changes in css after you have followed all the information correctly.

the last thing i could think could cause the problem is either clearing cache
and also bbpress- new ui plugin , if you have this installed it might cause some issues in styling

[galiulinr]

Unfortunately I learn php 10 months, and did not know too much. I add this code:

function bbp_single_replies_show($args) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 3 ;
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args','bbp_single_replies_show');

it does not work for me. I looked at your plugin, but highlight the desired fragment, I could not. I thought it would be easy, you can help me?

[Robkk]

you can use this plugin

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

but this also needs to be used with

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

and you can also this plugin which has bbcode and alot of other functions added to it.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

[Robkk]

install this code into your bp-custom.php or functions.php

[hypnoscribe]

I am using Thesis 2.1 theme and adding .css changes in the custom css section where all my other site customizations are.

This is the info in the css crib :

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

But what i want to do is change all the submit buttons individually beacause .bbp_user_edit_submit button is not showing proprely.

But i have yet to find the right path to change the submit buttons.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, in the user edit section. When on profile, the avatar is grayed out. How can i fix this?

And… how do i fix avatar size in topic section.

Sorry for typo mistakes, im french canadian speaking.

[atfpodcast]

Is there a plugin that adds this? I would love to see this. I have the latest worpress (4.0) and bbpres(2.5.4)

[Robin W]

my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

creates that list

either use the plugin, or crack the code open to see what parameters I set

[Robin W]

ok, then try

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

No.s 1 & 2

[Harry1951]

I didn’t change any code. I tried other themes but with always the same result.

[Robin W]

ok, by default bbpress shows this format

La Vie En France (1, 0), Bouwen en verbouwen (1, 0),

So you must have changed some code to get the display as per the permalink

Can you explain what you have done so far, as it should show the same in both

[tharsheblows]

Hi – the 1000 posts thing is a known issue which will be fixed in 2.6.

In the meantime do these two steps in order (but test them first! always test first):
1. change this code: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2615
2. run the “Recalculate the position of each reply” tool in Tools -> Forums

Again, test it all first before doing it to your live site.

Are you using bbPress 2.5.4? Prior to that, sending subscriptions was slowing things down, too.

[Harry1951]

Herewith the link to the (test) website:
http://test.chez-philipaud.nl

In the menu choose for forum and you get the forum as it should be. This one is with the permalink.
If you choose forum1 you get the output when using the shortcode.

I hope that it helps to solve the problem.
