Thanks for posting this, saved me hours of trying to work out which file I needed to change, and how to code it.

For those that want to add fields to their users, as well as Kate’s Meta pro, the following link shows how to add and use custom field, and the combination of these two made it quick and simple

Adding and using custom user profile fields

I also added the ability within BBpress for the user to change their location within the built in profile amend by changing Form-user-edit.php (located in web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

The following was added after line 125
<?php bbp_edit_user_display_name(); ?>
BBpress version 2.3.1

<div>
			<label for="town"><?php _e( 'Town', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="town" id="town" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'town' ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

All right, and I am now making progress.

I made a complete copy of page.php within the /wp-content/themes/pinboard/ directory. I then created a blank file and titled it “forums.php” (with an ‘s’ on forums). I copied the complete text of the page.php file into the forums.php file and started tweaking.

This is the code I have so far:

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div id="container">
		<section id="content"  <?php pinboard_content_class(); ?>>
			<?php if( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<article class="onecol" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
					<div class="entry" >
						<header class="entry-header">
							<<?php pinboard_title_tag( 'post' ); ?> class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></<?php pinboard_title_tag( 'post' ); ?>>
						</header><!-- .entry-header -->
						<div class="onecol">
							<?php the_content(); ?>
							<div class="clear"></div>
						</div><!-- .entry-content -->
						<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<footer class="entry-utility"><p class="post-pagination">' . __( 'Pages:', 'pinboard' ), 'after' => '</p></footer><!-- .entry-utility -->' ) ); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry -->
					<?php comments_template(); ?>
				</article><!-- .post -->
			<?php else : ?>
				<?php pinboard_404(); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</section><!-- #content -->
		<?php if( ( 'no-sidebars' != pinboard_get_option( 'layout' ) ) && ( 'full-width' != pinboard_get_option( 'layout' ) ) ) : ?>
			<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div><!-- #container -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

That spreads the forums page out to the appropriate onecolumn width and also completely fixes the profile page. It looks like the entry headers are being called from another php file, so I need to do some more tweaks, but here’s the result as is:

If I can get it fully tweaked up I’ll post how here. I know others were looking to do this.

[ZachMatthews]

Thanks for the replies guys. Jared no it does not. The theme is pretty popular – Pinboard. I am seeing other Pinboard users with the same issue, too.

What I have done is followed the instructions here to carve out a separate forums.php page which is working as intended and rendering the bbPress plugin separate from the rest of the site.

That is allowing me to tweak the code for just this one section, but I haven’t worked out how to force it over to the .onecol layout yet. Worse, it looks like this layout issue persists through various sub-parts of the forum software, such as profile pages.

[Jared Atchison]

That shouldn’t go in bbPress. Never modify the plugin, everything gets lost when you update.

It should go in your theme’s functions.php file.

I am creating forums where a specific user [plus me being the site administrator] will be the only moderator per forum, not all forums. How do I do this?

I have installed:
WP 3.51
Members plugin
bbpress
bbPress2 BBCode
bbPress WP Tweaks

Thank you

[deboerdave]

Workaround in place:

i am using the “Redirection” plugin as a work around for now.

The broken “forum” will go to the top of the forums regardless of where you are at
and am making a new page to use the latest topics shortcode in to direct the broken “topic” link to (so it at least has some sense in where it brings the user to).

would rather remove these lines though.

[NewSha]

Thank you for your reply John!
Excuse me my stupidity, but I don’t really get how to implement this code.
Could you explain to which file in “wp-content/plugins/bbpress” should I add this piece of code?
Should I download any extra plugins?
Thanks!

[Sachin Mishra]

Hi,

I am using DAP on my website. I tried to install bbpress 2.3.1 along-with DAP. As I installed bbpress, it takes me to an error page saying “You don’t have permissions to access this page”. Though I logged in as superadmin. I tried deactivating all my plugins. I checked the htaccess file as well but there is only the default code for permalinks. But nothing is working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sachin

Hello

I have the same problem also with the default theme. @johnjamesjacoby you can see an example here:

http://triangulodelasbermudas.net/editor/forums/topic/prueba-de-paste/

I have detailed in the replies the version of bbpress and you can see the result when copy from any web and paste to publish. The same problem when you apply any format like bold, italic…

The reply created with bbpress 2.3.1 is with the visual editor activated via adding the code to theme functions.php:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

With bbpress 2.2.4 all works fine.

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

Sounds pretty strange. First things I’d do:

• Check which accounts might have moderator/super admin access
• Check trash/spam
• Check access logs, see if someone removed them</lill of>

All of bbPress’s trash/delete actions perform capability checks against the currently logged in user, so it’s impossible for an unauthorized user account to delete content inside of WordPress.

It’s also possible someone deleted all of the forum content without your knowledge, using the “Reset Forum” tool under Admin > Tools > Forums > Reset Forum

[Nate]

Jared,
Here’s an example: I just ran a bunch of test posts on a private forum, and they all parsed fine, with two exceptions.

First, the blockquote function isn’t working. It moves it forward in the Visual editor, but doesn’t parse at all.

Second, I decided to create a bulletted list, and this was the result.
<span style=”line-height: 13px;”>slkdfjsdklajf</span>
(bullet) sdafkaldjfklsad
(bullet) sdafkasldfsjda

So two of the three bullets parsed, but in the top one, it didn’t parse and the code itself surfaces instead.

[Jared Atchison]

What is the exact code?

[Nate]

I need it to parse and it isn’t parsing (it will work intermittently, but when it does, if you go in to edit, it only displays the code block). Extremely frustrating and new to the latest update .

[Jared Atchison]

I’m confused. Are you posting HTML that you want to _parse_ or are you posting HTML that you want in a code block like:

<html>
   <title>Howdy!</title>
</html>

[Jared Atchison]

I’d make sure your theme (or a plugin) isn’t disabling wpautop

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpautop

[Nate]

And yet ANOTHER problem: If you go in to EDIT a post, the edit box itself only shows the code you posted, and not the rendered HTML.

[Nate]

To clarify: The post I just made wasn’t a copy and paste. I simply used the toolbar to format my post, and it just displays the code on the following page.

[Nate]

I’m the keymaster but its affecting everyone. And it’s your traditional HTML, nothing fancy. A few span codes, but nothing is rendering at all.

In fact, and probably an even bigger problem: I just posted to the site from the VISUAL tab, and the resulting post was pure code! This has only started happening since switching to 2.3.1, and I’m also using your new plugin.

[Jared Atchison]

What user role are you? What HTML are you posting? Are you putting this code int he visual tab or the text tab (pre 2.3.1)?

[Jared Atchison]

Plugin that will add back the visual tab to the editor: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

No code required. Just activate and you’re done.

[Jared Atchison]

Copy:

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

to:

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

And that’s all it takes 🙂

bbPress will auto-detect the CSS file in your theme and use that instead of it’s own.

Hey guys,

Looking for a bit of help with integrating bbPress into a theme called Directory.

I’ve set it up, installed plugin and created forum – on my forums page I don’t have any forum listing, not even “There are no forums” comes up.

I looked to do the work around method which was to use the shortcode on a page, but this breaks the page and still shows nothing – when I say it breaks the page I get no footer if I choose the full width template, or I get the same as the link below if I choose default template.

So obviously the issue lies in the theme’s template not interacting well with bbPresses setup, how would I go about setting up a page template that’ll work with bbPress?

http://www.moiravillage.info/dev/forums/forum/moira-community/

That is the bbPress forum page

WP Version 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.1

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks,

Warren

[ronangelo]

On line 889 of your theme’s styles.css you have a style that hides the replies

.reply {
    display: none;
}

Just remove it.
Or you could add this code if you have a custom css option.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    display: block;
}

[Jared Atchison]

At this moment there is not a shortcode that will do this. I assume you meant “Create New Topic”?

You could easily create a link that goes to the editor on whatever forum you want.

Such as linking to http://yoursite.com/forums/forum/some-forum/#new-post.
