ok, I can see your problem

Not sure why the plugin isn’t picking this up – would be worth a post on the authors support site

http://veppa.com/blog/forums/

However lets also try a different approach.

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 9ie your blog), or on both forum and other sidebar pages.

you do this by putting the following code in the widget logoc 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

Hi, open your css and found line 2317, you have this:

#content-area ul li, #content-area ol li {
    margin-left: 50px;
    padding: 5px 0;
}

Remove margin-left or set it 0

Im having a really hard time finding any information about creating unique titles. Everytime I search for it, I get lead here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-count-plus/
In addition to unique titles, I was hoping to find a plugin or code that will mimic other forums with options for topic and comment counts per user. Maybe even some handy little badges that will show under their avatar.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

When looking at the settings, I see that I can “customize” the forum index with shortcodes. I did that, and when its just its own page, then it works. When I try and change the settings to display that page as the forum index, it overwrites it with a weird looking search result instead of the index.

All I want it to do is to display the forums that I have, and to be the forum link that is displayed when you go into a topic.

Here is the default root:

Here is the page with the shortcode (and not yet assigned to the forum root):

Here is the forum root changed (with the same page):

First download the script and then upload it to
/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/

Then you can follow the instructions HERE

Hello,
i´m using shortcode [bbp-forum-index], but not all forums are shown.
I have ober 130 forums but after 126 no other forum is shown.
Why? Does anybody has an idea?
Kind regards

[shearamariz]

Oh.. I see.. I thought this was implemented already. Thank you for your help Stephen.
I’ll paste my codes here if ever I made it. 🙂

[shearamariz]

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the response. What I’m trying to say is in the user profile “participant” he/she will be the only one who can see his pending posts and not everyone.
Sorry for the term but what I meant there is hook not shortcode.

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

No, there isn’t, the shortcodes included with bbPress -> https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

You can append ?view=all if you are a moderator or keymaster in various places though.
http://example.com/forums/profile/username/topics?view=all
http://example.com/forums/forum/myforum?view=all

[Stephen Edgar]

Run the repair tools and your 4 topics should come back

https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

[Robin W]

Create a page, and put the following shortcode in it

[bbp-forum-index]

or if you want to get more specific then look at all the shortcodes

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

[Robin W]

Vkymunir, you should really start your own topic, but as you’ve posted here, go to the following link

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

[Stephen Edgar]

Adding this to your themes functions.php will also get your list verticle 😉

function your_custom_bbp_list_forums() {
  $args['separator'] = '<br />';
 
  return $args;
}
 
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'your_custom_bbp_list_forums' );

When new users register on my website, they are not being sent an email with their password. Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress plugin 2.4.1 on WordPress 3.7.1. My site is http://birdingacrossamerica.com. I am using the shortcode [bbp-login]. Previously I had no problems with users registering, getting their passwords, and being assigned the particpant role. I’m not sure when it changed, but it is no longer working.

Thanks for your help.

[Stephen Edgar]

Does this fix it?

Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic

https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks 🙂

Yes, I see this on your site, I just can’t reproduce it.

There are a couple of improvements that can be done for the ‘Reply Widget’ code so I will go and implement that and do some more testing.

Longshot here, removing and adding the widget from your site. 😉 Delete the widget from your footer sidebar and any other instances of the widget in the ‘Inactive Widgets’ section. Now add the widget back again? How did that go?

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not seeing this myself, can you run each of the ‘Repair Tools’ one by one and let me know if this fixes this for you.

[shearamariz]

Hi,

Is there a shortcode just displaying pending topics?
Like this: bbp_is_single_user_topics_pending?

Please I need help. Thanks.

Hi guys – I want to create a Facebook newsfeed style interface on a site using only bbPress. I’ve run BuddyPress installations before and that’s way more functionality than I need, or want to manage. All I need is the ability for registered users to post something and to have other users comment -> simple forum. The trick is to mash-up everything into one template, topics with their replies, that paginates just like the Facebook newsfeed.

I’m wondering if someone has done this, if it’s even possible or if there are limitations within the code that make that impossible without BuddyPress. My guess is it requires a custom template with a set of custom queries. Any leads or insights into this would be appreciated. Thanks!

[matrixino]

I did what suggested. Going 5000 locally with 0.2 seemed to work fine. However I got again the “dashes” problem. And I was still logged in when it happened (auto-refreshing my admin page). Also stopping and restarting the import, it just continue giving dashes like this:

-----Starting Conversion-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Converting replies (425000 - 429999)

Converting replies (420000 - 424999)

Where it says starting conversion is where i stopped/restarted it. In the try of my first post it also started giving dashes around the 450000th post.

What can I do?

[Stephen Edgar]

DO NOT USE ANY QUOTES, just use wp_

[willandmae]

The Forum Recent Replies widget is showing the wrong time and date:

For Example:

guardianwill on Welcome
8 years, 5 months ago

The site has been in design for less than 2 months. When I look at this entry the right time and date is displayed

November 4, 2013 at 9:30 AM and then the reply message.

Thanks for any help.

using wp 3.7.1
buddypress – 1.8.1
bbpress – 2.4.1
buddypress-default theme

the forum recent topics is working correctly and showing the proper time.

Thanks in advance for any help concerning this issue.

you can view at http://tvbari.org and scroll to the bottom footers to the right.

Go to your BuddyPress settings /wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings

And toggle the setting ‘Blog & Forum Comments – Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’
