Hi. I have been reading the docs, and did look over the shortcodes. But they didn’t really answer my question which is why I posted.

Is it standard practice to have to use the shortcodes to display the forums and other stuff to members?

In other words, what I’m trying to clarify is what is the best practice to set up. It’s not automatic and we must use the short codes? Or is that only happening because of the the theme I’m using?

Thanks,

doug

Have a read of the doc’s here

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

And the shortcodes you can add to WordPress pages here

Hey there! Just as the topic says

I’m looking for a plugin for WordPress or bbPress that will allow my forum users to create an image showcase.

I feel like they’re going to use it a good bit, as the site in question is all about collections of glass art.

Is there anything out there that will serve my needs? Does anyone know? I know that vBulletin has an addon that allows users to do this, and I believe phpBB does as well.

Is there a way to make links that go to …/?author=n go to /?bbp_user=n instead?

Can I do it by editing a line of code such as:

$url = get_author_posts_url( $user->ID, $user->user_nicename );

or

‘.get_author_posts_url($u->ID).’

that I find in various plugins?

Try again.

The sequence to tag bbPress to the WordPress plugins repo is a bit wonky, so you probably got an out-of-date zip.

I just tested it now, and it appears to be fine.

[douglerner]

At http://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ it says:

Upon activation, bbPress will make additions to three areas of the WordPress Administration Screens:

1. bbPress creates three custom post types and adds them to the navigation menu: Forums, Topics, and Replies. Use these menu items to create and manage your forums.

2. A sub-menu found at Settings > Forum. Customize these settings for greater control over bbPress.

3. A dashboard widget – Right Now in Forums – which shows recent bbPress-related activity. Use the widget to quickly monitor your forums.

I see items 1 and 2. But where might I find item 3? I don’t see it in my dashboard anywhere. I do see a few bbpress-related widgets available though.

Thanks for any pointers here.

Well, I tried installing it again, and this time it works.

Do I just use shortcodes from the docs to add links to wherever they are needed? For example, after re-installing it mydomain.org/forums is the forums (in fact it’s the forums from before I deleted them). But there is no UI to them. Should I just add a shortcode to a page which appears in the primary menu in the header to get going? Is that what most people do?

Thanks,

doug

Hello,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I having issues with finding “where” and “what” I need to be editing to fix my sites avatars from bleeding over the reply height.

I know this sounds hard to understand but here is a link to the issue at hand. You will see at the smaller responses that the avatars are too big or the grey background of the responses are too small depending on how you look at it

Here is the link:

https://www.synthetos.com/topic/cnc-build-using-tinyg/

One other side thing.. How do you remove the “tabbed” avatar responses? It makes it hard to read IMO.

Thanks for any help!

i dont use buddypress but i kinda had solved the problem when i moved bbpress theme files to inside my child theme.

i still have a lot to figure out but i suggest instead of using shortcodes, move to theme files

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility in here it says how to do.

now i have access to all links.

[AAShepAA]

Understandable question . Yes it is, and most all of the other admin links work fine.

[John James Jacoby]

You assumed wrong. That’s okay, because next you need to figure out which plugin isn’t working correctly by deactivating them one at a time and seeing which one stops the bad stuff from happening.

I have a hunch it’s the bbPress Admin Bar Addition one.

Ultimately, you just need to open the hood and start tinkering.

[AAShepAA]

Thanks John..

I am assuming you are referring to my bbPress plugins?? They are:

bbPress2 BBCode

bbPress Admin Bar Addition (Had to do this to even have access to admin)

bbPress Moderation

bbPress New Topic Notifications

bbPress Post Toolbar

bbPress Quotes

bbP Signatures

Again, I appreciate your help.

[AAShepAA]

Spence – I just abandoned the previous theme (after it costing me $35 I am now on a theme that supports the styling to my liking

Again, thank you for all your help!

Solution! Install ‘User Role Editor’ and set ‘read’ for Forum Participants.

i start to build child theme now to copy the theme files of bbpress. hope that helps.

did you try what i wrote skyforger?

“i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it.”

[Le Duy Quang]

Firsh read this article: https://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

Need a child theme without code? This plugin can do for you: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-click-child-theme/

Now on child theme create a file call bbpress.php

Code example:

<?php

get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary">

<div id="content" role="main">

<?php the_post(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'bb' ); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

– Duplicate page.php on your theme and rename it to content-bb.php

– bbPress call content-bb.php so you can customize for anything you want!

Hope this help!

Yeah ! Well done Lynq !

I added add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); a the end of my theme functions file and I don’t have the warning anymore.

Now I hope bbPress plugin works correctly.

Thank you

PS: I can’t close this topic because I didn’t start it…

[Lynq]

If you are checking that you are on the current page should it be

is_page('126')

and not

!is_page('126')

Or am I not getting what is going on?

[Lynq]

Try adding in: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); into your theme functions file.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

I can’t see it, it is asking me to login

[loicknuchel]

Hi, thanks for your responses.

@Lynq : on line 357 I have :

356: if ( ‘bbPress’ == get_class( $bbp ) ) {

357: $bbp->theme_compat->theme = new BBP_Twenty_Ten();

358: }

I didn’t understand what it does exactly.

@Aadhaar Card : I have tested about twenty theme, for all I have the first error : Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84

The second error occur only when I use the “bbPress (Twenty Ten)”.

On line 84 I have : $bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;

Maybe the add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); is missing anywhere… But I don’t know where…

[Parker]

That worked! Thanks!

Also, I see u created a account

Hi guys, I have a very strange problem with widget logic and bbpress.

I created a normal page (post id = 126) and added the shortcode: [bbp-topic-index] .

I now wish to not show any of my widgets on this particular page by using !is_page(‘126’) however this just doesnt work!

I try it on other normal pages containing text and no forum shortcodes and everything works!

[rr03]

Jarret

my permalinks set up is restinerest.com/the.title.of.page

i refreshed permalinks sections after i set bbpress up as it is suggested.

i managed to have the main bbpress page with creating a new page and writing a shortcode([bbp-forum-index] ) in it. but then i had this problem:

i had two categories and each have two forums. at this new page it is shown

http://www.restinerest.com/forumd/ this is the page.

category1

forum1(0,0) forum2 (0,0)

category2

forum3(0,0) forum4 (0,0)

and i wanted that forums would be shown as one under the other one.

so do i have the theme compatibility problem or any other thing?

and why cant i reach restinerest.com/forumlar or restinerest.com/forumlar/forum even though i set the slugs up?

any help will be appreciated.
