Sure.

I have the Black Label wordpress theme on my site and as such it comes with a fullscreen background image option on every post and page. I bought this theme for this very reason. Now, when I plugged in bbpress, I had to use the shortcodes on the main forum page which was no problem but when I click on the forum or the topic links, I get sent to a page that instead of saying “edit page” in the admin bar, it says “Edit forum” or “Edit topic” and doesn’t allow me to set the background image.

Now I looked into creating a default background image by changing some .css but this sets that image for ALL the pages, (page.php) and though it is overridden by the set background image in the theme, it isn’t pleasing to my eye to have one background image when you open and a second or two later have another one pop up on top of it. So I trashed this option.

Did some research on how I can resolve this problem and found a previous thread here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Needless to say that it interested me that I could create my own wrapper and have the forums and topics open up in a special page and have a set background for that page alone that won’t affect my other pages.

Well, this is the skinny of my situation. I hope I gave you enough info this time, sorry for not doing it from the get go. Can I do this? Where do I change the default wrapper to my new one? I’m imagining it’s in the function sets. Or perhaps there is an even better solution to my situation. What do yo suggest Brandon?

Oh, and thanks for your time

Happy to help, but I’m only one person; can’t do it all. It’s way more helpful to everyone (and the project) if you dive into the code and figure it out in your free time rather than relying on mine.

Also, no reason to create one topic and point to your old one. It’s spammy. Closing this one.

Getting the same issue as #smell-bag. Not sure why. Here’s what I’ve tried.

Slug is set to: forum

(went to WP screen options and [x] slug so that option became visible.

I created a blank page and called it: Forum

and added shortcode: [bbp-forum-index]

I set Permalink to: http://mydomain.com/forum/

Under WP settings/forum…

Archive Slugs

Forums base: forums

Topics base: topics

Single Slugs

Forum Prefix [x]

Forum slug: forum

Topic slug: topic

NOTE: I’ve tried combinations/permutations changing these settings and it seems to modify the breadcrumb link of the word: forum

to something other than what my page points to.

If I create the page with a permalink:

http://mydomain.com/forum/

then the breadcrumb URL for: forum(s) suggests it will link to:

http://mydomain.com/forums/

if I reverse it with the plural version (forums)

then the breadcrumb URL becomes the singular format: forum.

Suggestions?

– go to your WordPress admin backend

– go to add new plugin

– either search for bbpress plugin, or if you’ve downloaded the .zip already, go to upload tab and navigate to where you downloaded it to

– press install now

– activate it

Then you get a new section in your dashboard – forums, topics and replies

Off you go

[dpmcalister]

Thanks, I’ll look into that

As for the original post in this topic. You can simply hide them with CSS. Something like this should work:

.bbPress #bbp_topic_tags, .bbPress label[for="bbp_topic_tags"], .bbPress .bbp-topic-tags, .bbPress label[for="bbp_forum_id"] {

display:none !important;

}

[pimarts]

Did any of you begging for this theme tried to mail the guy who runs css-tricks?

Aside from that the CSS is all there, so if you know what you’re doing you could ‘easily’ code it together yourself.

This thread solved few of my doubts. Thanks @johnny-rocket

hi~ bbPress is really great and I do love it. however, when i transferred my wordpress to a new server. something bad happen.

when I enable the bbPress, an error message shows up:”Warning: Creating default object from empty value in webwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-includesbbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84″

I guess it has something to do with this code ‘$bbp->theme_compat->theme = $theme;’

could anyone give me some instruction?

the theme i use is the default Twentyeleven Century.

thanks a lot in advance!

[baldg0at]

Here’s a real basic rundown of what I did.

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

Create a Child theme for your current theme — https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Copy the files from plugins>bbpress>bbp-themes>bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder.

Go to your WP Admin and activate your child theme

Edit the child theme as needed to match your site. You may be able to get by with just editing yourchildtheme>css>bbpress.css, but you can change any of the theme files to make the forums look however you want.

[kdoole]

Rather than hacking the core, you should put that code into your theme’s functions.php. That’s what apply_filters and add_filter is for!!!!!!!!!!

Add this to your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'get_topic_title', 'strip_the_title_slashes', 20, 2);

function strip_the_title_slashes( $title, $id ) {

return stripslashes( $title );

}



add_filter( 'get_post_text', 'strip_the_text_slashes', 20, 2);

function strip_the_text_slashes( $text, $id ) {

return stripslashes( $text );

}

i have thats the thing it saves all my forums and stuff after the reinstall

[mextena]

Old custom built theme for BBpress. Most of the Automattic sites are just like that

[Projectredemption]

Really need help with this i need to remove all old files and get new ones

[Projectredemption]

How can i do a complete uninstall of bbpress?

So i can reinstall and everything should work

[POS2012]

I had built my own theme, but when installing the BuddyPress I did choose to use the default BuddyPress theme.

I will probably edit my theme to work with BuddyPress. It says that I can go through a step by step edit of my theme, so I will try that

Right now I am wrestling the fact that I can not get it into my language. Yet…

[POS2012]

Ok, I tested now on the test-server.

Write my experience here for you who wonder yourself:

I have Wp lasest installed

I had installed and tested bbPress 2.1 the last week

I now installed BuddyPress as a plugin and did the installation without activating the forum.

Then did go back to the BP settings and activated site wide forums. Then voilá the forum was integrated part of BuddyPress.

Way to go!

Sorry to “bump” this, but I was really hopeful that someone would be able to help

[lmoon]

Hi Everyone!

How on earth do I get rid of the brackets that are at the end of every froum title line

ie: General Chat about Moving/Settling In (1, 1)

Viewers don’t know what there for, my client wants them removed and I can’t find the right line of code to do this.

I would really appreciate someones help on this.

THANK YOU

[POS2012]

Is this a plugin I can test now, or “in the works”?

[spelly1337]

I only want people to register to the forums isnt this possible?

[POS2012]

It is the same as to register in WordPress.

http://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?action=register

When registered in WP they can participate in the forum. At least my test forum works like that.

[POS2012]

Any developer / code genius that would like to look at this?

[POS2012]

Ok, I had to install the very last WP.

Now it works, but not with the embed code. I need to use the

That is the best also I recon

[POS2012]

Have you done anything else than installing bbPress 2.1?

Any configuration?

I have tried to paste YouTube original URL and the short embed URL, but none of those are working. I’ll do some more testing with turning off different plugins to see if that affects it.

Thanks for clearing it up
