Hi!

I´m running a wordpress/buddypess/bbpress combination and I also need to change the permalink structure, in a bit different way then eleram – I´m looking for a more logic structure in all forums: example.com/forum/name-of-forum/name-of-post/

-> replace slug “forum” by name of forum

-> replace “topic” by name of topic

I can customize the code, but I´m not sure where to look on.

@John: “WordPress handles the rewrite rules for bbPress’s content types” -> where do I have to look for (bbpress´ custom post types) to adjust the permalink logic?

Of course I will share my customization as soon a sfinished.

Thanks!

Hey Jared, just to share this with you, i finally did what i need it in the front page with a tabs plugin found at

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-post-tabs/

and the shortcodes found at

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

you can check it out in the main page of quimbumbia dot org any comments will be apreciated..

Thanks for the support!!

the only thing i need to find now is a shortcode for most visited and most commented

[John James Jacoby]

1. Create a WordPress page with the same slug as your forums root

2. Add the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to that page’s content

3. Make this page the front page of your site

I got this solution… which is probably not so clean but it works; previously I had already created a function to retrieve the full width bp avatar in wordpress, now I looked at the bbp code and filtered the function fetching the avatar in replies with that function I had previously created

function sg_author_avatar($size) {

global $post;

if ( function_exists('bp_core_fetch_avatar') ) {

echo apply_filters( 'bp_post_author_avatar', bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $post->post_author, 'type' => 'full', 'height' => $size, 'width' => $size ) ) );

}

elseif ( function_exists('get_avatar') ) {

echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), $size );

}

}



function sg_bp2bb_author_avatar() {

$author_avatar = sg_author_avatar('150');

}

add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'sg_bp2bb_author_avatar')

[johnwww]

I have a site displaying my forum on the homepage using the short codes on a page. My problem is that when you drill down to a topic the breadcrumbs display –

home > forums > general > topic

Home and forums are basically displaying the same thing (a list of forums) so what I need is a way to display a list of the forums on the home page without this un necessary item in the breadcrumb list.

Can anyone help me either remove this item or suggest a better way to do this?

Thanks

John

if I use that in bbpress templates I get:

Call to undefined function post_author_avatar_link()

Hi all. I’ve read that there is no way that the main page of wordpress can be the forum itself, but i wonder if I can take the code of the bbpress that hanlde all the forums and insert it as an include into the wordpress index.php. if that is posible an some one help me telling me which part of the code is the one I can copy to call the forum and topics in to the very front page.

I’ve seen i can show all that in the sidebar, but i would like to make it the main page like the forum page with the latest topics, most comented and most visited.

Thank you

[Jared Atchison]

Put this in your theme’s style.css

.bbPress #content {

width: 67%;

}

[Jared Atchison]

You need to use Firebug or Chrome inspector to check out the CSS.

I’ve looked at things and it’s all simple conflicts that are happening due to the CSS that’s in place with you theme.

For example .hentry is being floated left which is screwing up the forum index.

You will want to put some tweaks in place (in your theme’s style.css). For example:

.bbp-forums .hentry {

float:none;

}

[Jared Atchison]

Thanks for the report back

[Jared Atchison]

Can’t say I really understand what you are asking for, but if you are looking for shortcodes

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

[LabSecrets]

We’ve done a little tutorial video to show how you can setup either a BuddyPress Group Forum, a SiteWide bbPress 2.0 Forum, or a custom hybrid forum page using shortcodes. You can have all three at one time. Hope this helps

You can keep the previous forums, but the data from BuddyPress group forums does not migrate automatically into bbPress site wide forums.

Ok just like I thought (yes I’m not smarter than a fifth grader and I should have checked this first) it’s a plugin [Simple Facebook Connect] that is causing my forum page to show the last topic post instead of the page with my short codes.

I know it’s not your problem but I thought you would want to know about it in case it comes up again.

I’m sending Otto a not that it is causing a problem with your plugin.. I’m going to activate it and see if I can find something else that will do the same thing but not conflict with yours..

Thanks for a really great plugin…

[folgerj]

Hi JJJ, I have an issue with my forum and I don’t see anything in the community (I may be searching for the wrong thing)

My forum is http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/ and I think it did great last season.

Somebody asked me what shortcodes I used and when I went to the page in the dashboard it will only serve me the last created forum topic.

So if under pages I click the page for the forum to view the codes it returns this http://jeff-foliage.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=735&action=edit (I hope I can’t be hacked by giving this out…

This is a forum post topic that I created last year. If I trash this post it will return the next newest post topic for the forum.

Can you or someone tell me if there is a simple solution? Is this most likely a plugin problem? (I know most are and I suppose I could go through and deactivate them and see if at any point see the page)

Or is this a pure database problem, thoughts?

Oh I’m getting nice comments about how mine looks and I don’t know if my forum looks all that great since I’m in compatibility mode using Weaver theme. But folks seem confused and feel I’ve done great pimping on the CSS when it’s all the theme for colors and what it looks like.

You are using 2.1, which is good.

What you need to do is tweak the CSS, I don’t recommend editing core, I would use this instead https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/

bbpress.css, line 48 is what you need to change, ie

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {

color: #CCC;

}

[sharq219]

@SzebastianOne,

Thanks so much! That worked perfectly. And knowing where those are in the code, it is easy to tweak them in the future with different colors and shading. Much appreciated.

[DELETE ME]

Hi Sharq219,

Before I post, I must say, I am no code-maestro rather a novice at it all. However this is what I did –

In FTP Panel,

• Followed this page – %Root Folder of the website in question%wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencss

• Edited the file bbpress.css (attached the edited version)

• You’ll notice in top few lines and bottom few lines I changed the background colour hexademical code from #efefef to #0B0808

• Be careful though, do not change it at all places. I practically changed one place at a time and saved and refreshed to check until I got the results. Best to compare the file I am sending you with your file and see if you can relate & make changes in right places.

• I suggest to start from the bottom up in the file, you are likely to see it resolve in the end.

Here is the code of the file I edited – – –

HI,

I am having the same problem as this guy here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/changing-the-url-of-breadcrumbs:

I am running bbpress 2.0.2 under BuddyPress and although my permalinks are nice and pretty :

Code:

/%category%/%postname%/

The breadcrumbs look like this:

Home > Foodies’ Place > Forums

The “Foodies’ Place” link is wrong and it links to here

http://www.foodiesplace.com/?attachment_id=431

(no idea where it got this from since the page does not exist)

The breadcrumb link should look like this:

Home > FaceCook Forum > Forums

and “FaceCook Forum” schould link to:

http://www.foodiesplace.com/en/facecook-forum/

Any ideas anybody?

Thanx

To change BuddyPress avatars use_

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );

you can define custom sizes for your BP avatar, replace 50 or 150 with the size in pixel you want

I’m trying to replace the size of the default bbPress forums avatar from 80 to 150px to match my BP_AVATAR_FULL size… bbPress 2.1 plugin is using 80by80px avatars by default apparently, do you know where to change that value to match 150px?

ok, in looking at the posts…

i went to edit one and what happend was the HTML was converted as ascii code. anyway to tell bbpress to convert the ascii back to html?

SzebastianOne,

Are you able to post the code for the changes you made? That would be very helpful as I have the same issue that you were working on (a theme with dark background that causes problems with the forum).

I’d really appreciate it.

Hmm, what is the URL?

no, the shortcodes don’t appear, but the login boxes do. It’s just the top menu and the footer that stop to behave.
