Hi everyone, I need a little help.

I’m not a developer and I just would like to know where to insert the code posted by Josh. (which file and where inside the file).

Thanks a lot.

I’m considering bbpress for one of my most popular community in Bangladesh. I looked at other forum software but bbpress seemed perfect for me as it runs within WordPress. I’m running bbpress as a plugin. Now, my forum is on Bangla language. So, each time a topic is created, the slug becomes unicode character like this: /ফোরাম-টপিক

As you can see, it’s really ugly-looking as well as bad for sharing links. For my blog, I’ve chosen the permalink as /post-id/{id}. I would like to do the same for bbpress (something like PunBB). How can I do so?

The shortcodes do not currently accept any additional arguments, though they would not be difficult to add to the core software.

Dear all,

I have post this at plugin site, however, i want to post it here too since this was an issues and i want to increase the popular of this post so that the master or “sifu” can see and help… thanks
I am fresh to wordpress. I have install bbPress into my wordpress, and i face some serious issues.
By default, after I comment on a topic, it should be refresh the page and show me my comment with “Awaiting Moderation”. However, it’s some time do not refresh and stay in same page, it will link me to the main topic pages.
After I set the topic and reply under “Per Page” section to 1000 per page, this issue do not occur anymore. But problem is reader do not like so many topic or comment in 1 page. It’s seems that bbPress by default do not have a solution in the code to link correctly between the topic pages?
For example, if I set under “Per Page” section, 10 post per reply. When this topic have more than 10 reply, the 11 reply will go to page 2, here the issue will start. anyone post after page 11 will be link to wired page/link or the page will display “Oh bother! No replies were found here!” or “page 404, not found”.
Anyone have a solution on this? Any help is appreciate…
Thanks

When I add the shortcode and click to view the page it redirects me to the home page. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

There isn’t currently a way to do what you are asking, there probably is a way to disable stickies site wide for everyone (including admin/keymaster) but that is not what you are looking for.

With the default permissions a moderator has I think there are far more dangerous options available to them such as deleting other users topics and replies.

In this regard you are offering any moderators of your forum a certain degree of trust. I would suggest you extend this trust to your moderators in regards to stickies. You can make this part of your ‘moderator’ rules/policy and ask all your moderators abide by this policy.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have updated the codex docs for bbPress User Roles and Capabilities introduced with 2.2.

@MarjoriesDaughter I would suggest you update bbPress to the latest 2.2.3 version rather than use an old version, with that then both your conditions above will be met.

So my bbPress forum worked fine for a few months. I can’t remember if I updated anything but since a few weeks it doesn’t work anymore.
The problem is, that it doesn’t show the content of the forums. There’s the heading of the forum but nothing else. Here’s how it looks like:
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/forums/
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/forums/forum/bookish-intern/
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/intern/ (normal site with shortcode)

I’m using WordPress 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3
Nothing seems to help. I’ve repaired and reset all the forums. I’ve deleted the plugin and the data from the database. I’ve reset the permalink structure… but it just doesn’t show up anymore.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks!

There are no known bugs regarding shortcodes so they should work on your site.

• Create a new WordPress page via /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page
• Give the page a title
• Add for example to login shortcode `[bbp-login]` to the page content
• Click publish and view your new page

[Stephen Edgar]

Details on private and hidden forums are here:

Specific details of user roles and capabilities are here:

I ran into the same issue w/ bbPress 2.2.3. Just the content is cleared out when a new topic has validation errors; the tags and topic type fields are preserved. I directly modified bbPress 2.2.3 in order to resolve this issue on my installation:

1. Navigated to bbpress/includes/common/template-tags.php line 1605
2. Removed the “if” statement so that the $post_content gets set by calling ‘bbp_get_form_topic_content’
   //if ( bbp_is_edit() ){
$post_content = call_user_func( 'bbp_get_form_' . $context . '_content' );
// }

I did some minimal testing and the behavior of other topic editing seems to be unaffected by this change, and the change makes the content persist on New Topic Validation Error responses

Unfortunately, shortcodes aren’t working for me, either.

Any other leads?

Thanks so much for your help.

[Stephen Edgar]

I think something along the lines of the following might work though it is a BuddyPress guide it would be quite similar to do for bbPress.

The (0,0) are the counts for the number of topics and replies in that child forum.

To list the child forums vertically rather than horizontally add the code from the following to your WordPress theme functions.php file https://gist.github.com/3797945

[Stephen Edgar]

Is it the shortcodes you are looking for? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a read of the docs on theme compatability to get your current theme working with bbPress
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Via the docs FAQ https://codex.bbpress.org/faq/

Plugin Conflicts
To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

If you have downloaded a new WordPress theme that includes bbPress support you activate the theme from the WordPress Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes ( /wp-admin/themes.php)

There are also some docs here on Getting Started with bbPress

Thanks actorjml, this wasn’t very clear and there isn’t any explanations about the installation in the codex.

[JAsko_san]

Hmm, or is it possible to display a certain forum(with all the topics within it) within a certain group with a shortcode ???

With this maybe:

[bbp-single-forum id-forum id=$forum_id]

and if ?! How can I edit the existing group page to add this short code within it ??

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not exactly sure what you are saying here!

Did you use the bbPress Import Tool to import your old phpBB forum into bbPress?

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

The docs have the details here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

Hello guys. I don’t know what i did wrong 🙁 I had the forum working a previous version of my website, but since the theme change, i can’t get it set up for my life.

It might be important to note that there was a situation during the instillation of bbpress. I was at the last step of the instillation, when my website crashed. One of my folders was duplicated or something. I removed the file from my file manager and got my site back. BBpress is now installed, alongside buddypress but when i go to my forum page there’s nothing there.

I think i need step by step instructions. When i make a page named “Forum” and assign that page to the bbpress pages tab, nothing happens. I have a code to make my forum fancy and thats not working either.

I am using the newest wordpress, and the newest bbpress.

My website is at http://www.goodpoker.ca

This is the code i need to put somewhere…

ID, ‘sidebar_value’, true);

do_action( ‘bp_before_directory_forums_page’ ); ?>

<div class="padder contentbox “>

 

<option value="”>

<input type="submit" name="submit_topic" id="submit" class="none" style="opacity:0;" value="” />

<input type="button" name="submit_topic_cancel" id="submit_topic_cancel" value="” />

<?php printf( __( "You are not a member of any groups so you don't have any group forums you can post in. To start posting, first find a group that matches the topic subject you'd like to start. If this group does not exist, why not create a new group?

• <a href="”><?php printf( __( 'All Topics %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_forum_topic_count() ); ?>
