Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:
Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.
Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.
Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.

Hi there, my website is http://www.theyouthlink.com and currently I have a login widget that links to the WP profile page. Preferably, I would like to rewrite the code so that it links to the BBpress forums profile page in order to keep everything front end.

Any idea’s on how to do this? My current php code for the login widget is: `

case “profile_link”:
$return_text = str_replace(“{“.$match.”}”, ““. __(‘Profile’, ‘pwLogWi’) .”<//a>”, $return_text);
break;

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm… It should work… http://regexr.com?3621e

Can you find a post with either a [QUOTE] or [MENTION] BBCode to see if these have been converted to <blockquote> which will help work out if any of the BBCodes are being converted to HTML.

The site is now up and will be (i hope).

Thanks in advance.

Check the urls:
http://www.wpavenue.com/support/ &
http://www.wpavenue.com/forums/

Both have the same shortcode. But the results are different!

[Xevo]

It’s called “avatar-14” because the size is 14×14 pixels.

Add this to the bottom of your css file, and it should work.
.avatar-14 { display: none !important; }

[Anand]

Yes, I know. That’s really a bad luck. I will update the thread whence the site will become online.

However here is a screenshot of the forum index. http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3991/fy0l.png

I also asked this question in StudioPress forums. (Earlier i thought the problem was with Genesis themes)

[Xevo]

Both pages turn up a 404 from hostgator.

Ok I see this file is the bbpress code for the File importer for vBulletin. Forgive me I am new to this stuff but I am getting it a bit slowly 😉

[Techknowledgic]

I solved this issue by replacing the base to another page and put the code [bbp-forum-index] and the previous page I am not able to add the forums to the same base again

anyways. Thanks 🙂

Hello all,

I wonder how (& why) bbPress is rendering same shortcodes in different ways? Actually, I am unable to identify the problem.

Even after disabling all the plugins do not have any role in the broken forum.

You may take a look on
http://www.wpavenue.com/forums/ <–This one is broken and “forums” is forum’s base slug.
http://www.wpavenue.com/support/ <– This works fine

Both of the above urls are “page” having exactly the same code.

Other than the missing html structure (on the /forums, forums/topic-tag/docs/, /forums/users/example/) everything is fine.

The theme is working with twenty-ten. twenty-eleven and twenty-thirteen. But broken with Genesis 2.0 (with sample and custom child theme0) and hybrid themes.

Waiting for a reply!

[Techknowledgic]

Hey

My website’s forum page is http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums/forum and since few mins I created a page under the same name and then removed it and since that time the forums disappeared.

I can go to a sub forum like this http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums/forum/affiliates-programs/

but the lists of the forums disappeared from http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums and here is a screenshot of how it was before and now it’s empty http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/6215/rmox.png

is there any help or any code I have to add to display the forums?

Thanks!

[uksixthman]

Hi All,

I wanted to see if there was an easy way or plugin to change the font and color of the forum text. It does not match my current website and wanted to have uniformity. I am not a heavy coder so simple is better.

Thanks

[MediaSVI]

Question:

Exactly what code am I to use and where do I paste it..IE

Do I paste in a VB file before import or in a WordPress/bbPress after import.

Also there is the child theme stuff to be concerned about. Just know I am in the R&D of all this now before I start converting my site. I do have Blogs/Articles too but not many.

[Stephen Edgar]

Excellent 🙂

The vBulletin importer already includes some regex conversion expressions and should be actually converting those for you.

The actual code from Line #578 is (vBulletin.php)

// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"

		$vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );

What that is doing using regular expressions is converting anything in the format of
From: [video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]'
eg. [video=youtube;yF5sbwb4VTg]http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg[/video]

To: '$2"
eg. http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg

(If WordPress settings allow YouTube embeds then we only need to post the YouTube URL to the topic or reply)

In your case you have an extra string '_share' in your custom BBCode…

So with copy and paste magic… We end up with this as anxtra regex string conversion:

 		// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
 		$vbulletin_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin_markup );
+		
+		// Replace '[video=youtube_share;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
+		$vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube_share;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );
 

You can look at this gist which is a little clearer to read and also download the file.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/513187363f36b56ec77d/revisions

You can either add those two lines to your own file or download the gist complete there and it should work for you 🙂

I am using V4.2.1

Ok I got it to work, I had 2 things wrong that I fixed and they where.

In the Id or Hostname I used the server IP address and in prefix I used lower case, I was using caps.

It imported all users, forums, topic, days, times awesome.

Question: my site has a lot of videos and the VB shortcode would put them in like this: [video=youtube_share;yF5sbwb4VTg]http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg[/video]

Is there anything I can do to make them appear in the posts?

Also what will happen when users log into the forum now?

[Stephen Edgar]

It should work just fine, that said if you change a couple of forums to say 1, 2 & 3 make sure none of other forums in the same category have 0 assigned to them.

bbPress Version 2.3.2 & WP 3.6

Hello! Sorry for the newbie question 🙂 I’d like to customize the registration experience for my instance of bbpress. Specifically, I’d like to specify the content:

1. In addition to the username and password fields on the sign-up page
2. In the “you are now registered email” users get
3. In the forgot your password page
4. In the forgot your password email

Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks again!

Note: I know we can specify custom URI’s…but using the registration short code creates a page with the following content…I’d like to change that text etc. “Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later. We use your email address to email you a secure password and verify your account.”

[Yusri Aleazy]

go to ur kingsize style
style.css
in line 324

Modify this

#content ul li li {
    margin-left: -35px;
}

into

#content ul li li {
     margin-right: -33px;
 }

[Stephen Edgar]

Make sure you have the correct fields for ALL of the values:

• Database Name: Name of the database with your old forum data
• Database User: User for your database connection
• Database Password: Password to access the database
• Table Prefix: (If converting from BuddyPress Forums, use “wp_bb_” or your custom prefix)

I am 99% sure that your issue is the last item above, you need to make sure you have the correct database prefix, you can open up phpMyAdmin from your webhost control panel.

If you are unsure of any of these contact your webhost to confirm them.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try accessing example.com/forums instead

Also to get the forums on your front page of WordPress setup a custom page and add a shortcode:

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

[MoniqueR]

On my website I use the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] for displaying the ‘new forum form’.

What I think is odd is that the dropdownlist has no “Please select forum” option. It just displays all of the forums with the first one selected. I know many users are not good readers (sorry 🙂 ) so, when they type the title and message they just hit the submit button and forget to select the correct forum, so many topics are put in the wrong forum. Can someone please help me how to add a ‘please select’ to the dropdown and make it required?

Regards,
Monique

I use BBpress 2.3.2. and WordPress3.6

[volvo_owmer]

Hello

I have make a lot of different custom filed in dashboard.
And now I whant to display them in the add of the plugin…

I have manage to display allmoste every one exept för the dropdown list for Car brands.

<?php $carbrands=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-carbrands', true); echo $carbrands; ?>

But I whant to show them all…..

Becuse the members need to see them, when they add a car.

[bigboytony09]

Hi,

I’m currently trying to use the shortcodes:
[bbp-register]
[bbp-login]

For some reasons, these plugins don’t appear on the bbpress forum pages but works perfectly fine on any other page.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Tony

You could create a page and call it “help”. Using the bbPress shortcodes you can show the forum index on that page.

You can change the slugs in the settings page (Settings>Forums). There you can change the base slug to “help”, so that all topics show up under /help instead of /forums.

Just make sure that you don’t get conflicts between your pages and the slugs.

[marksedgwick]

Bump!

I know this would create another DB call, but surely this option should be a no brainer for the users. this appears to be a un-popular issue for users..

is bbpress not listening or addressing this request?
