Apologies if this is considered cross-posting, as this appears as a reply to another thread (but that other thread title isn’t similar). The other thread is… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

Ok, so newbie here who knows html and understands coding but is really keen to not screw up the site that someone else has built for me (so apologies if the answer is above and I’m not seeing it).

The site is http://www.heavenlyz.com and, I think, I’m using the “Nollie” theme.

I’ve installed bbpress, created a couple of forums and – via the great info on this thread – created a page called “Boardroom”, into which I’ve inserted the “[bbp-forum-index]” shortcode. Hey presto, after much head scratching, I can now see a forum index on http://www.heavenlyz.com/boardroom/…woohoo

But, my next challenge is to be able to open one of the forums shown. Am struggling with this.

Having searched, the most relevant answer seems to be… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

If you think there is a better (read “easier” 🙂 solution, then please suggest but if not, please read on…

Because I am using the Nollie theme – I think – the parent/ child argument in that thread doesn’t apply, so am looking at changing the root page.php only (to be honest, I wouldn’t know how to work out whether the child page exists/ how to find the child page).

In the thread linked to above, Lab says

Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well

But my page.php says…

ID, ‘mfn-post-layout’, true) ) {
case ‘left-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_left’;
break;
case ‘right-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_right’;
break;
default:
$class = ”;
break;
}
?>

Where’s the “entry div”? Apologies if this is a laughably stupid question.

All help appreciated. N.b. As I’m learning, to start with, I’d rather keep the changes simple and effective rather than complex and golden.

At first, sorry about my english, i’m not fluent.
WordPress version:3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3
Theme: Origin version 0.3.5

The problem don’t happen with TwentyTwelve.
I’m using a very modified version of Origin from AlienWP. Everything works fine with bbPress, except any forum page (list of topics). It stays blank.

Checking the code in this blank page, we can see that nothing after site description is loaded, not even the content is opened. Theme header stops at this point:

`…

/** STOPS HERE ***/

…`

I tried to create a new “normal” page and use the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=2633] to list topics;, it works, but there’s a link on breadcrumbs (inside each topic) that still pointing to original forum list.

I really don’t want to change my theme, so any idea is appreciated.

@enlightentogether
Easy: create a new page, name it anything and paste the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on it.

I did the same and it works, but there is a problem: the link to forum “main page” on breadcrumbs still pointing the blank “original” one. I noticed that you’re using Oxygen theme from AlienWP; i’m using Origin (same developer) and have the same problem. Unfortunately they don’t give support for these free themes (except we buy an Membership for 39 bucks…)

When viewing a forum or a topic in the forum?

Actually, now everything works right. I must have made some mistakes in the code first time.

Close this topic please.

[aukesch]

I use BBPress-topic-to-post plugin to replace my wordpress replies for bbpress topics.
Now I face the problem that I would like to link from BBpress forum to my posts
Can anybody help me?

f.e.
domain.com/forums/forum/forumname contains links to forumtopics. These links I’d like to redirect to the orginal post

So changing the link from
domain.com/forums/topic/xxx/ (xxx is a post AND a forumtopic thanks to the plugin)
to
domain.com/xxx/

Hope my questiosn is clear. If not, I’m looking for the file with the hardcode of domain.com/forums/forum/forumname

Hi – i’ve been trying out various options for setting up a forum within/alongside wordpress.
It looks like my final choice will be bbPress – however I still seem to have one outstanding issue that I can’t seem to solve (have done plenty of searching as well).

The install is fresh today with current versions of wordpress & bbPress – no other plugins are currently enabled & i’m just using the twenty twelve theme at the moment.

I have set up a registration page using the registration short code.
When you submit a registration, it takes you to the WP-admin login page…i’d prefer to keep the user in the front end at all times & direct them to a landing page to say thank you & check your inbox.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Tom

How do I enlarge or alter the colour of these tags?

I’ve added this code to the end of bbpress.css without luck

#bbp-forum-title {
font-size: 16px;
}

Are they picking up the h3 style after this css is processed?

[Daniel Lemes]

I have the very same issue and to make it clear: i’m using Origin theme too, and the breadcrumbs on topic page have a link to forums list (works fine) and to forum which those topic belongs (don’t work).

Even creating a blank page with the shortcode [bbp-topic-index], how to use same slug (WordPress automatically puts a number 2 in the end)?

Forums list (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/
Forum (not working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/forum/sega-mega-drive-genesis
Topic (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/topic/super-monaco-gp/

Thanks in advance.

Hello.

I am having the same problem. Forums appear on my site at this link http://www.enlightentogether.com/forums

But when clicking further there is a blank page. I added a topic which I am able to see when I insert the shortcode in a page so the problem may be the theme? I have heard other users say insert a shortcode into pages so the forum works properly but I am completely clueless on how to do this.

Do you know of any video tutorials relating specifically to inserting shortcodes for forums or articles? I have seen tutorials for inserting shortcodes for all kinds of things but not bbpress.

I need help making a couple of changes in how my forum looks.  I’m using a Parallelus theme (Salutation) and they have not updated their theme yet to the latest buddy/bbPress changes.  I asked for help on their forum (as to the styling) and they said that the theme just uses the basic bbPress layout.  I’m using bbPress 2.3, Buddypress 1.7.

Here is how the forum is laid out: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/dyes/

I want the title of the discussion to basically change places and size with the text underneath it describing the topic and where the forum is.  I can barely see what the forum name is and if we have an avatar, we sure don’t need a big name in bold.

I would assume that the same changes would affect the Activity Streams: http://www.tafaforum.com/activity-streams/

Here’s the catch: please spell it out for someone who can’t code.  I wish there were a plugin that I could use or shortcode…  Is this something that I will have to change everytime there is an update with the theme?

Well, hopefully someone can point me to a permanent solution as this one is far from useful.  Thanks!

Hi, I have a custom code that I use in the template loop-single-topic.php that show the current status of the topic:
http://pastebin.com/UaNkLNQs

I use this code after this part:

http://pastebin.com/27U1BRdE

How I can make this a plugin to simply add this content to bbpress without the need of editing the file?

Thanks

[kannued]

Okay, I had to add shortcode bbp-topic-index to my index.php which brought the front page back to the way it was before the update of bbpress2.3. Why would this happen? I shouldn’t have to make coding changes every time there is an updated bbpress plugin. I never had to re-code after an update before.

[kriskl]

sorry to bump this..

I guess the award was small? I thought it would be easy thing to do for someone who knows bbpress code very well…

but I think it is very important feature

 

users coming from other forums  are lost using bbpress forums..

and after migrating from buddy press forums to bbpress –  the usage of bbpress forums dropped by 50%  🙁

I mean, in new topics….. therefore I suspect users can’t find the button.. / link

I have created a new page > start a new topic and the link is even in the main menu.. but still it is not good enough unfortunately..

Please see the documentation for Using bbPress in Your Language to see how you can supply your own files: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

[kannued]

Okay, how do I include code in the posts? I tried the “code” with the opening and closing tags around my actual code, but as you can see above, it removed the code totally.

[kannued]

In my index.php, I eliminated the shortcode “ which got rid of the Oh bother! No topics were found here!

In my index.php, I do have the shortcode
“

If I eliminated that, would the front page show the latest posts?

Hi!

A week ago I migrated my vbulletin forum to bbpress, and everything seemed to be working fine until yesterday.

I’m using bbpress 2.3, the forum shows all counters, but to see the detail of each subforum it just shows nothing. The funny thing is that if the URL of each subforum I add “?view=all” parameter … it shows all!

i.e

1.-If you type the url of my forum:

http://myforum.com/foros/

All is fine til here …

2.-select a subforum

select the GENERAL subforum

http://myforum.com/foros/foro/general/

and then displays the following:

As I mentioned above, if i put “?view=all” parameter you will view all content

http://myforum.com/foros/foro/general/?view=all

and then displays the following:

I have not changed even one line of plugin code (neither blog)

Any Idea?

Thanks!

I did it like this now:

if( bbp_has_topics('nopaging=true') ):
$terms = array();
while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
$obj_terms = wp_get_object_terms( bbp_get_topic_id(), bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
$terms = array_merge($terms,$obj_terms);
endwhile;
$tags_array = array_unique($terms);
$tags = implode(",", $tags_array);
wp_tag_cloud( array( 'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 20, 'number' => 80, 'taxonomy' => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), 'include' => $tags ) );
endif;

[John James Jacoby]

Did you modify files in the bbPress plugin folder? If so, they get wiped out on every update, which is why the theme compatibility feature exists. (Do a search for it in the codex to learn more.)

[Fee]

Hello,

thanks for developing bbPress. The 2.3 is looking and acting really good 🙂

Can you help me: How can I show the tag cloud for a specific single forum only?
I tried in my template file:

wp_tag_cloud( array( 'smallest' => 9, 'largest' => 38, 'number' => 80, 'taxonomy' => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() ) );

Maybe with ‘child_of’? (but what would go here?)

Thanks in advance!

How do you use this mike? I may want to print a gallery of each user in their profile, but i cant figure out how to do this. By now, this works:

global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
echo do_shortcode(‘[nggtags gallery=’. $current_user->user_login .’]’);

but prints out the logged in user gallery, not the user of the profile page, any clue? I use tags to make the galleries for each user, I only need the name of the user profile, printed in the shortcode, 🙂 Thank you guys in advance, maybe this helps you too Mike.. gl

[cuzimjayfit]

I input this into my premium theme style.css file, but nothing happened. I also added into the css editor. Is there another place where I can possibly get the code to work? Thanks

[inkrap]

For some reason, the following code no longer works after 2.3. It worked it RC1, but not in the final version.

`#sidebar .bbpress {
width: 250px;
}`

I’ve also tried. #sidebar .forum -.-
