Sorry- I didn’t see your reply earlier
Yes the BBpress widgets work nicely.
The issue is that I want to decide which widget shows on which page.
I have tried numerous widgets and when the forum pages show, they are all messed up. They fill in with the forums only all scrunched together.

I’ve als tried putting the shortcode in a page and that has helped when assigning widgets except for when on the “forums” part of the breadcrumb after entering a board. It goes crazy.
sitename/forums/etc

I found one custom widget plugin that makes a widget “drag and drop” page in the editor for each page and post editor area but the person that will be using this will have a difficult time using it. When using that plugin if I make all the forum widgets to be the default setup and just add/subtract widgets per page – it won’t show the craziness.

I don’t think I can describe this any better. It just looks like craziness and it isn’t in the forum widgets… The forum contents fill up any available widget on the sidebar even if the widget isn’t “assigned” to the forum and it is only when following the breadcrumbs AFTER being in a board.

It seems the focus on member roles has taken away from the structure of the forums made with bbpress.  It would make sense to me to develop forum structure and information availability.

This could be accomplished by having the ability to create a forum and lock the locations of topics.  By code and visually as they appear on the site.

I think limiting ability to make topics or replies for each each individual post when created by admin, would develop forum content more efficiently than limiting abilities for individual users.

In other words.  Rather than limiting abilities by access level.  Is there currently a way to lock forums and topics the way they are?

In other words.  When I develop the forum as an administrator, can I limit the ability of all users to contribute to those posts?

I think a more even balance can be achieved, between content contributed by admin, and relevant information contributed by users, if the admin can limit users ability to alter the structure of the forum.

I switched from phpBB to bbPress recently thanks very much in part to a script found in these forums.

Now, many of the existing posts contain links to each other in the old phpBB format /topic.php?t=123. Since the topic IDs have stayed the same in the conversion process, I’d like to use ModRewrite to automatically redirect to the new /topic/123 URL scheme. I’ve tried the following in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t appear to work. (Admittedly, my knowledge of ModRewrite is shaky at best.)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/forums/viewtopic.php?t=([0-9]+)$
/forums/topic/$1 [R]

(In the real code there isn’t a linebreak on the second line.)

Does anyone have any advice?

Create a new wordpress page called “registration” (or whatever you wish to call it). On that new page add the shortcode [bbp-register] and publish it. Then add the link to the new page you just created on the sidebar widget, for example: your site.com/registration/

Here’s a list of all the shortcodes you can use: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Hi,

I simply want to use shortcodes to keep the forum on my page. I can get the the index to show up and it seems to work fine, but the breadcrumbs link back to /forums, not to my page. I’ve been looking around and I see where other people have been having the same problem yet there does not seem to be any solutions. I will continue looking I guess. If anyone knows of a solution I would love to hear it. I just don’t get why this is even a problem. Why not just use shortcodes rather than those hardcodes paths in the settings? One thing I am considering is adding a redirect from /forums to my page with the shortcode…. but then I keep thinking, why should I even have to do this? Any way, if there is a solution out there I would love to know about it.

Regards

Jarrod

ok! I solved it now!

how?
I copied my header.php and renamed it to header-activity.php
in this file I copied the following code in the

in my index.php I`ve replaced
“
with
“

I hope it helps s.o. else with the same problem of using the post-box as stand-alone on any other wordpress-site!

I need help I have installed my bbPress plugin and setup all my forums but I do not know how to get it onto a page. I have found a shortcode but my forum front page looks like this

http://guardian247.us/?post_type=forum

if you click on a link then the the next page looks like a forum. How do I get it to look like a forum on the fron page?

[redknite]

I’m trying to figure out how to replace the page title (in my case “forum”) with an image. So far all I’ve been able to figure out is to code a background image to “.the-content #post-0 h1” css tag.

The problem is that this leaves the page title still on the page in the top corner.

my website is fishwire.rudtek.com

Thanks a bunch!

Add new roles with a roles plugin. You don’t have to use code. See: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members

When I installed BBPress on a new site, I noticed that the default forum page (/?post_type=forum) gave me a strange title at the top of the browser (“Archive | ##:## [time]”) as if it were being dynamically generated every time I refreshed the page–and the sidebar widgets were my generic ‘page’ widgets and not the ones I’d explicitly set for the Forum/Reply/Topic pages from the Admin panel (the Reply/Topic pages display just fine; it’s only the base Forum page that’s giving an issue).

I thought I’d solved this problem by making the ‘Forum’ link in my header menu link to a generic page I made that I slapped the bbpress forum shortcode onto–and all looked well–but now in the breadcrumbs, if I click ‘Forum’ from a reply or topic page, I’m sent back to “/?post_type=forum” and left with the same issues.

Any idea what’s going on or how to resolve it? Why isn’t the Forum page accepting the sidebar widget I’ve assigned it, and why is it giving me a dynamically generated, non-helpful title?

FAQ – https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

The following shows the current progress of bbPress translation to French for the ‘dev’ & ‘2.2.x’ versions:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
11% – 111 Translated – 879 Untranslated – 628 Waiting

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x
% – 0 Translated – 952 Untranslated – 533 Waiting

So quite a few are done but needs an authorised ‘validator’ to approve the ‘waiting’ translations.

You can contact your local translation time via https://fr.wordpress.org/contact/ to find out who the bbPress validators are or if no luck request to become a validator yourself via https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

[Oazar]

Hello,

I am trying to get the po and mo files to work so as to translate the forum into French.
I followed the codex :

– got both po and mo files from bbpress server,
– renamed them to bbpress-fr-FR.po and same for the mo file,
– uploaded them to wp-content/languages/bbpress folder, as well as into wp-content/plugins.bbpress/languages.
– my wp-config file asks for french as well
– changed languages folder permissions to 777

I cleared my cache about 100 times, but well, no results, eveything is still in English.
really don’t know what to try next.
may you help ?

thanks !

[Stephen Edgar]

That is rather sneaky… @JohnJamesJacoby has now removed them.

As for an SOP I think this thread is it for now… (Also ping @JJJ on Twitter or #IRC)

[@mercime]

@chipbennett reported this to JJJ. Thanks.

[Chip Bennett]

A couple more:

Just noticed this:

What’s the SOP for dealing with/reporting such?

[John James Jacoby]

Edit the file in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core

the file to edit is called capabilities.php

Incorrect; *never* edit any files in bbPress’s directory; you’ll lose those edits when software updates come in.

@anallabres – Research how WordPress’s actions/filters/plugins work. It’s a little dizzying at first, but a few lines of code can get you up and running.

[LChambers]

Please try this code instead:

add_filter ( ‘bbp_get_reply_post_date’, ‘act_fecha’, 10, 6);
add_filter ( ‘bbp_get_topic_post_date’, ‘act_fecha’, 10, 6);

function act_fecha( $result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ) {
$date = get_post_time( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), $gmt, $reply_id, $translate = true );
$result = sprintf( _x( ‘%1$s at %2$s’, ‘date at time’, ‘bbpress’ ), $date, $time );
$return $result;
}

The above code would now work.

I would like to remove ‘You may use these HTML tags and attributes:…’

I am using the Thematic Theme 1.0.2.1
and bbPress plugin 2.2.4

I put this code in my themes style.css file:

.form-allowed-tags{
display:none;
}

This removed ‘Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML’ when I am logged in as admin.

Everything I have found in forums about removing ‘You may use these HTML tags and attributes:…’ refer to the Twenty Ten theme, and files and code I can’t find.

Thank You

[leanderbraunschweig]

The code got stripped! Can you post again?

[alfredo49]

There is a problem with that code when using latest post bbpres widget

“last post was 43 years ago” when the last post was 6 days ago

[shortoldtree]

Thank you so so much fontadoni for the detailed reply. Works perfect fine. I had no idea what shortcodes were; my bad, should have read the documentation properly. Also, thanks for explaining how to use these shortcodes on the required page!

[fontadoni]

Hey there,

The answer might be a no brainer for others that have been using the plugin version of bbpress for a while, but just like you I just migrated from the standalone version and suddenly I felt completely lost as I was used to editing the php templates for everything. I probably missed this explanation as it’s been a while since I visit bbpress.org.

Here’s the deal. You need to use the shortcodes provided here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

That’s the short answer. What I didn’t know was that you need to add these shortcodes on the page you create in WordPress for your forums. So, say you have your forums at yoursite.com/forums. You need to create a page in wordpress called “forums”, after you have done that, you can add the shortcodes on the page to customize bbpress to your liking (others can correct me if I’m wrong as I just recently figured this out).

So adding [bbp-forum-index], will display your entire forum index. Then you would need to add [bbp-topic-index] to display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums with pagination.

What I still have not been able to figure out is that when you add the login tag [bbp-login] on the homepage (not the sidebar), there’s no option for login out once you’re logged in. If you find the answer for this, let me know. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have installed the bbpress plugin along with buddypress, it’s working but strange thing is happening.
Here is my forum but when I add the bbcode to display it, it gives me a weird look. Please check.

Please be kind enough to tell me where I have gone wrong.

Regards,
Sudeep Acharya
