I’m about to setup my first wordpress site for my kid’s school.
There are two main topics I want to setup which are forums and galleries.
For bbPress I’d like to shar the user data with WordPress. Unfortunately I can’t find the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin, like it’s menioned at http://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/integrating-with-wordpress/
Has the way on how to integrate changed for wp4? Any hints on how to get this working?
Thanks!
there is alot of documentation talking about styling bbpress.
Codex
Robin’s last fix works, at least on my site. Using WP4.0 and bbpress 2.5.4, this plugin worked.
Theme : Method (mysitemyway)
Plugins: bbpress 2.5.4, buddypress 2.0.2, admin bar 1.0, cms tree page view 1.2.30, Random Text 0.3.0, Smooth Scroll Up 0.8.4, Tweetomatic Pro 1.0, Widget Shortcode 0.2.3.
Thanks Robin.
Hi,
I have been tasked with creating a site with a forum on it, i have chosen to do so with WordPress. I have installed WP 3.9.2 and BBpress 2.5.4. I then created at page where users can log in, but when they try, they get redirected to http://www.ellevej.com/wp-login.php with the message HTTP 403 – forbidden.
When they refresh this page, the standard WP login form shows, and they are now able to log in through that form.
I have used the shortcode for bbpress login [bbp-login], as i dont want a sidebar on the site.
Do any of you have any suggestions as to why this happens?
I guess I’m asking what folder and file contains the page template for http://www.paraquadaccess.com/forums/forum/forums/
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
I used IE – all I saw what that the sidebar was consistent between the site and forums and topics. Since you didn’t detail exactly what was different between the pages, I may not have seen the error !
Like many others, my bbpress forums broke when I upgraded to WP 4.0 – all of the topics were still listed, and the pages were there, but you would only see the top of the topic with voice/post counts and a form to reply. The entire content of the topic is missing.
I’ve been following the discussions here and I have none of the plug-ins that appear to be creating the conflicts. I’m not using s2member, SearchExclude, or Ravanassi plug-ins.
I am using the following plug-ins:
I’m running a premium theme (with expired memebrship -so no updates and no word from the original author whether the update would even cure the problem as the themes do not support bbpress) – however I can get in there and dig around the code, if needed.
Any help would be appreciated!
So far- I’ve rolled back to WP 3.9.2 – but, obviously this is not a viable long-term solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
L
a thing you could do is hide the search button and add a placeholder so users know what it is, and also make it kind of like wordpress search in terms of looks.
copy form-search.php into your child theme and overwrite the code with this.
<?php
/**
* Search
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-search-form" action="<?php bbp_search_url(); ?>">
<div>
<label class="screen-reader-text hidden" for="bbp_search"><?php _e( 'Search for:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="bbp-search-request" />
<input placeholder="Search the forums" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_search_terms() ); ?>" name="bbp_search" id="bbp_search" />
</div>
</form>
Just got an email there was activity in this thread, and it got me over here to share:
This morning I put an animated smiley under my profile information at the bottom using this plugin! Didn’t know if you could put images in the text field option, but you can, at least with my setup, haven’t checked default theme, etc.
I tested it with both bbCode, which I have active through a different plugin, and html.
I’ve tried method 1 and 2. Neither works right.
Method 1 is on now and you can see it at http://schoolofbookkeeping.com/answers/
Method 2 (with the shortcode) works when I visit the page but shows what you see on the link above when I choose “go back to forum lists”.
I use X Theme from Themeco. I can’t imagine that is the issue?
@johnjack
There seems to be several symptoms, some see topics not showing just replies, some has 404 errors wherever they are (topics, replies even forums), and some have issues with child forums.
At the moment the scenario is that since bbpress on a default theme doesn’t have these issues, then it is likely that it is a combination of wp4.0, bbpress AND one or more others.
Plugins that use code relying on searches are definitely one area, I suspect themes that look or rely on post types are another. You issue may be a third.
You seem to have disabled plugins, but have you used a default theme such as twentytwelve?
I have bbpress 2.5.4 running with twentyten and a top forum of category, a sub forum with that forum as parent, and a sub forum of that subforum all displaying fine.
If I can replicate a scenario, I can start to see if the issue is the one I’m looking at.
the following will disable the toolbar for all but admins
//disable toolbar for non-admins
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}
put this in your function file

The you can add a widget login to the sidebar
Dashboard>appearance>widgets and look for (bbpress) login widget
You can also add logins to the menu see

Unfortunately to get to the level you want to you will need to start dabbling with code

Breadcrumbs
but hiding the breadcrumbs per the directions didn’t work for some reason.
You’d need to tell us what you did to help you further
Forums name
That initial breadcrumb belongs to your theme, so you’ll need to query it with your theme provider.
Any idea how long it’s going to be before Live Preview is ready for prime time?
that code is written by a private individual, so no-one but him can say when it would be live, and I don’t know if it works !
Finally, how do I make the posts and the editor wider. Is that CSS controlled by my theme or bbPress?
theme !
WordPress 4.0 running Montezuma theme.
bbPress Version 2.5.4
Site location: http://ecopsi.org/forums/
Breadcrumbs
Including the theme I have three sets of breadcrumbs with the WP theme breadcrumbs at the top and which follow the forums well enough. Below are of course the two bbPress breadcrumbs. I want to hide both the bbPress breadcrumbs. The one immediately above the forums and the partial one on the right next to the search box.
I found some helpful things here

and here

Unfortunately the directions assume expertise beyond mine. I was able to do things like float [subscribe] to the right of the console but hiding the breadcrumbs per the directions didn’t work for some reason. My php kung fu isn’t much to brag about.
Forums Name
A more experienced person helped me change the name [Forums] to [The EcoPsi Forums] but it only partially worked and didn’t change the name in the primary breadcrumbs at the top. It also didn’t change the name of the root of the forums which is still [Forums]. I want make the [Home] link at the root of the forums go away. It annoyingly tempts me to click thinking I’ll return to the root of the forums but instead takes me to root of the website.

Because the site is live, I decided to share one page for both the English and French side for now. But eventually, I would like to have a separate page for each English and French, but I want them both to share the same forum shortcode.
Hello,
I’ve got a simple forum set up using the shortcode. I used the same shortcode on the translated page (French). When bbPress is activated, I have noticed the following issues:
– The top right language switcher re-directs me to the french homepage instead of the community forums page. If bbpress is de-activated, the language switcher works as advertised. All other pages are fine.
– The shortcoded forum on the French page does not carry over custom css styles I input with the Simple Custom CSS plugin. Seems like it has to do with the page template I am using. For some reason, the English side automatically uses my theme’s ‘Upcoming Events’ template. I have the option to choose on the French side, but if I pick that same ‘Upcoming Events’ one, the custom css colours do not carry over.
And lastly, and I believe this is a concern of many. A moderator to the site can not create or modify forums – which I find ridiculous. Any work around to this?
Any help would be appreciated
@dandr69 the weird title look isnt because of bbpress, its how your theme reacts to long titles.
and you can put that code i gave you anywhere where you can put custom css,
a child themes css stylesheet
jetpacks custom css module if you have jetpack
if your theme has a custom css area in the appearance settings
a standalone custom css plugin
Hey, i tested with the code in the theme CSS and it works.
Thank you!
fixing the line height made it look better.
.title {
margin-bottom: 5px;
line-height: normal;
}
you can also just make the line-hieght above 21px or just remove line height from the code.
@robin-w It’s because the new updated version of my theme contains hard coded fields in the submission page that are irrelevant to the purpose of my website. Hence I have to stick with the older version until a newer update is released which makes those fields optional.
What plugins are you running? Sounds like something else (plugin/theme) may be incorrectly filtering the content and or shortcodes and is causing a conflict.
I did everything through wordpress.. I didn’t touch any code
put the original code back to fix your problem
So are you saying that the page works with the shortcode only and with text only, but the two combined fail?
