Hey all, i run this site, and im determined that it should all be ran by wordpress, its all going great etc. But, as soon as i installed my forum, i see that it uses this ugly style, with background color etc.

What id really like is no shadow on the text, no background, small border around the different forums and thats pretty much it.

Heres before: http://puu.sh/32WkF.png
Heres how i want it to be: http://puu.sh/32Wpf.png

I hope you understand my problem :/
Ive read this http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ but i cant seem to find the necessary files.

I hope you can help me out 🙂

Sorry was being thick and quoted the code for the login display.

Having had a look at the widget, there is an option in the recent topics widget itself to hide author ie when you add the widget to a sidebar, you get options for no. posts to show, show author, show date etc. – does that not work?

That links to line 798 in the widgets php, so there would be you next step.

Go to the next path.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Copy the BOLD file into your Theme folder inside a new folder called [ bbpress ]

Like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Open the new ‘ content-archive-forum.php ‘ file and remove the following lines of code and save the changes.

<div class="bbp-search-form">

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

</div>

You can find the Widgets of bbPress right here.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / includes / common / widgets.php

Thats the file you need to have. By default I don’t think you can drag your Widget-code out of there and start using it inside any other WP project. You probably have to add and redesign it to make it work.

I just deleted my previous work where I had grouped all my forums inside Categories and made all forums solo – no parent Forums anymore.

The only question I have is how do I manually query for forums based on ID’s.

On the forums-archive template ( forums index ) I would like to group all my forums manually together, fake ‘categories’ I will make of static HTML inside the archive-template and now i’m only searching for a piece of code how to list them.

Lets say:

Name fake cat. in HTML
– (forum_id = 23) forum_name – topics – replies
– (forum_id = 37) forum_name – topics – replies
– (forum_id = 15) forum_name – topics – replies

I wished this would work..

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums( array( 'forum_id' => 23 ) ) ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

[axeleus]

After installing the plugin and view the topics, found in the Error Console

Error: TypeError: $(...).on is not a function
Source: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/topic.js?ver=2.3.2
Line: 22

Fixed bug with changing the .on to .live at line 22 and 27

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the advice. I tried that and it had no effect. I actually commented that whole section as a test and no change. Is this the right code snippet to make this change?

Thanks

Rob

[Shmoo]

Tried this but it doesn’t work..

<?php
if ( is_singular( bbp_get_forum_post_type() ) || bbp_is_query_name( 'mac' ) ) {
	include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/page-one.php');
}
else {
	include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/page-two.php');
}
?>

[Shmoo]

Just test this..

Copy the following file into your Twenty Ten Theme folder.

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/extras/archive-forum.php

And inside that file delete this line <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Hope that gives you an idea.

Wow. it works

But with the wordpress code wich soundcloud gives you it doesnt

Hi,

I have my forum index pasted into a page via the shortcode, this page displays fine.

My structure look like this:

mysite.com/community/

The “community” page is one that has a fair bit of styling.

When i click on a forum to read, for example “rules” i get redirected to a crazy URL which looks something like:

mysite.com/forums/forum/rules/

How can i change it to, for example: mysite.com/commuinty/rules/

Thanks.

I’m running wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2. I’m having difficulty viewing/editing a users profile.

When you click on the name of the person who started a topic, or on your own “Edit Profile” link, the site “spins” for quite awhile then displays a very large page that has a large number of that users profile displayed over and over again. If I click on one of the links in any of the profiles…like “Topics Started” all is well. I get the users profile with a list of the topics they have started to the right of it.

It’s just the first link that has the problem. It looks like thte code is caught in an infinite loop that just keeps returning the users profile over and over again.

I’m wondering if it could be the bbpress.php file causing the problem. I thought I had the default version with a few things commented out. Here’s what I have:

<?php 
      get_header();
?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

			<?php // include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>

			<div class="entry">

				<?php the_content(); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

			</div>

			<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

		</div>
		
		<?php // comments_template(); ?>

		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jared – I very much appreciate the link. Works like a charm! 🙂

Minor issue with the code: it is missing “function” in front of the “ja_filter_bbpress_allowed_tags” definition.

[Jared Atchison]

If you need to alter the tags allowed, see this code snippet:

Modify/change the default allowed tags for bbPress

That should get you started.

[Robin W]

Think you just need to comment out line 143 of widgets.php
<h4><?php bbp_user_profile_link( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?></h4>

Then the avatar will show but not the name.

Line 142 has the avatar code, so you can just use that where you need to put the avatar.

[Hansaplastique]

Thanks Jared, I appreciate you taking the time to reply …

My question remains how do I correctly add style or class to the allowed tags without modifying the actual formatting.php file 🙁

[Jared Atchison]

@hansaplastique Images can already be added. In your case you just need to add style to the approved attributes for the img tag.

@tbermudas bbPress supports oembed (assuming you have it turned on in the settings) just like WordPress. So all you need to do is post the URL of the video (don’t link it) and it should automagically embed it.

Hi there, I just upgraded my theme and bbPress (from old to current versions,) and after hours of reconfiguring, I have nearly everything in place. Except…

On my Forums page (http://www.trianglezclub.com/forums/), I’m using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to display the list, and for some reason there’s a weird search box appearing above everything on that page.

[bbp-forum-index] is the only thing I have in the editor for that page.

Thanks for any help!

[Rami]

Hello guys,

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO 🙂
=======================

Add facebook/twitter buttons in the [bbp-topic-index] (for each topic in the table) and then in the topic itself (when you are reading the topic, let’s say above the title)

WHAT I TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS 🙁
============================

e.g. I embedded the facebook in loop-topics.php (quite don’t remember the file name, it’s the one doing the topics index) and the buttons are correctly positioned for each topic, but the TOPIC SHOWS THE PAGE SOCIAL COUNT, in other words, each topic in the index shows the same count, the page count.

HELP! – hooks? guides? example?
================================

I read in other post (tags jetpack social?) a mention from John (bbPress) about hooking bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content, I have no idea what does hook mean. Has anybody implemented social buttons or could guide us on what to explore to do it ourselves?

That would be amazing for many.

cheers
Ramiro.

Not enough information to help really. I don’t see any actual useful error message, though it looks like your page output halts in bbPress’s breadcrumb. You’ll need to look through your output, do some searching through the code, and debug what’s going on.

Start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

[John James Jacoby]

There are too many unknowns. Try installing the Debug Bar plugin, and read up about debugging your installation here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm, first of all the bbPress stylesheet shouldn’t be loading on sites that do not have bbPress activated. If it is, then there is a problem some where, because it shouldn’t be.

If you want to customize the bbPress CSS, you’ll want to:

Copy:

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

to:

wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css

When bbPress runs, it will load your theme’s bbpress.css instead of it’s own.

[Jared Atchison]

You should be resetting the width on #container, not .post.

[Abberz]

It should but then again some themes aren’t compatible with bbpress what I do is I use custom pages with the shortcodes that way I know it displays right
