Thanks for responding.

PHP ver. 5.2.14

[Umbrovskis.com]

Will there be possibility to add classes like in WordPress post_class().

I know that bbp_topic_class() is using post_class() via bbp_get_topic_class() already, but I would love to see simple solution to add custom classes to row of topic, something like bbp_topic_class(“my custom classes”) or with compatibility bbp_topic_class($topic_id, "my custom classes").

[Themes Support]

Use bbPress Post Toolbar at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

[Andre]

The support warning means the theme doesn’t natively support bbPress. You can add support or use shortcodes and still use bbPress. Here’s a link to shortcodes you can insert in a page. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

I don’t understand your question about plugins.

hi, what version of PHP is that wordpress using?

I look forward to your help here with our respective issues with bbconverter.

Neolo7, try setting your permalinks to something other than default. You should at least have %postname%.

To add /forums/ to your menu, use the custom links option. Or create a page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, then add that page to the menu.

There is a glitch that is not bbpress related, but rather it’s custom post types related. If you theme relies on the class “current_page_parent” to highlight the current page, WordPress things any post type should keep your blog page highlighted, if you have one. Here’s a piece of code you can drop in functions.php to help:

// fix menus

function support_menu_item($menu){

global $post;

if (get_post_type($post->ID) == 'forum' || get_post_type($post->ID) == 'topic' || get_post_type($post_id) == 'reply')

{

$menu = str_replace( 'current_page_parent', '', $menu ); // remove all current_page_parent classes

$menu = str_replace( 'menu-item-169', 'menu-item-169 current_page_parent', $menu ); // add the current_page_parent class to the page you want

}

return $menu;

}

add_filter( 'nav_menu_css_class', 'support_menu_item', 0 );

Be sure to change “169” to the id of your menu item.

@Rastarr – Your site is looking much better than mine but i’ve noticed you have one of the same problems that I do– the weird numbers ( i.e. (3, 4),). @ Anointed – any idea how to solve this?

Thank you very much, that is very helpful.

Just a note… I installed ver 2.1 (over the 2.0.2 install) of bbPress and I’m getting the same error.

[jcarlson1701]

Hello.

I just installed the bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on my newly installed WP 3.3 site. Upon activation of the plugin I get the error:

“add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead”

I assume that this is an incompatibility with the PHP calls from the plugin to WP since ver. 3.3 depricated a lot of old PHP scripts.

Is there a way to fix this or at least have WP stop complaining about this?

Thanks!

@shooo, that was my solution. “^?” means any one character in a string. I had to repair the database sql file. One bbcode tag after another. Well, It works and looks ok now but it’s a lot of work.

Some bbcode tags had to be replaced with <span>. I don’t know if it is possible to define custom bbcode tags in wordpress. So I had to replace all with “<span class=”size150″>”, etc.

Rest of the tags work fine thanks to “bbPress2 BBCode” plugin.

I’ve got another question,

How to change parent forum for many topics ??? It would take ages to move topics one by one when there are hundreds and thousands of them.

[shooo]

Hello, and congratulations on your wedding. I hope the honeymoon does not your too tired:)

bjj_pl did you find the solutions for [IMG:^?….]?

i’ve the same probleme.

after, i try to save the avatar and the url on post like <!-- m --><a href="http://example.com">http://example.com<!-- m --></a> are all broken…

pfff it’s a real mess

Hello everyone,

I’m new to this – and not an experienced coder – so I apologise if what I write doesn’t make much sense.

I’ve just taken over running our internal forum in my job and it’s a bit of a mess. We’re running bbPress 1.0.2 and we don’t really have much set up. For example, only admins can create new threads.

Anyhow, I’m trying to install a plugin to enable me to create user groups and levels of permission. Here’s the plugin link – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

I can download the plugin but can’t find anywhere to install it. Can anyone help please? I’d be very grateful!

Thanks, and a happy new year to you all,

StevieBee

[Anointed]

It’s your theme css:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .sf-menu.light ul li a, th, tr, #portfolio-filter span, .portfolio-view span, #section-tophat, .feature span, .superquote, .supertagline, #section-footer, #section-footer h5, .sf-menu.light li u {

text-shadow: 1px 0 1px #000000;

}

The text-shadow is causing the problem.

Thanks so much for your help, Shawn.

At least now the forums have some framework and don’t look like a blank page

I added a description to the Relationships forum and it’s weird how the subforum titles show first and then the main forum description – I guess that’s some CSS stuff at play again.

Yeah, it’s a great looking theme indeed.

[bjj_pl]

ebiznet88, yep, converter created 9 individual characters for each post.

Well, I am ashamed to say it, but I used MS Word 2003 to make changes in my sql file.

Seems to work fine and no errors occured later. Coded as UTF-8 text file with no additional MS WORD characters.

I used something like:

find

[/img:^?^?^?^?^?^?^?^?]

replace with

[/img]

and so on.

Hi there,

I’ve got a problem with custom page templates and wordpress pages with bbcode shortcodes.

I’ve created a page “Forum “with shortcode [bbp-forum-index] and made it main Forum Page. Since most of my pages use sidebar, the one with forum index was meant to be fullwidth. I tried to set a custom page template but with no effect. The Twenty One template uses only default theme template and keep displaying sidebar.

I do know how to create custom page templates for wordpress but they just don’t work with bbpress plugin Anyway, I don;t know how to make bbpress work with my custom templates.

Any ideas?

[Anointed]

NO, bbPress really shouldn’t slow your site down any more than adding in the same amount of pages to your site as the amount of topics and replies you have in your forums.

That is the nice part about bbPress. It basically used custom post-types and is totally native WordPress code.

There is no extra code loaded that I am aware of, other than a small javascript file, which is only loaded on bbPress pages anyhow.

No idea on the cache part, so can’t help there as I don’t use cache plugins.

[Anointed]

@Tammy

I don’t think that the template files are currently used, even if placed within your currently active theme. According to JJ< bbPress 2.1 should make this much easier.

Right now, the only way I know how to change the appearance in your own theme is to actually remove the shortcode actions and write your own custom shortcodes.

You can of course add a bbpress.php/forums.php page and place that within your theme to do some basic changes such as removing sidebars.

[seancam4]

Heeeeeeelp Please.. haha!

[bjj_pl]

i do have a question to all of You,

i mentioned that bbcode was generated with some unwanted code:

[img:33mwiaq9]. It is different for each and every post, so I can’t just use simple UPDATE to get rid of it in “wpp_posts” table.

Does anyone know how to do that?

I can’t use:

UPDATE wpp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content,”[img:33mwiaq9]”,”“)

that would only fix one post and not thousands of them.

I’ve been thinking os using something like:

UPDATE wpp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content,'[b%’,’‘)

but that wouldn’t work either. It is always 8 signs that I have to delete in each bbcode tag.

[SK]

I have a few sites running on WordPress. I love the simplicity and the expandability. However, I have experienced that the more plugins I add, the slower the site becomes. Techies tell me that this is because WordPress loads all the plugins every time a page loads.

My question is that if I install bbpress, will it make my WordPress site slow? Specifically, when I am on WordPress pages (not the bbpress part), will the bbpress code still be loaded?

Additionally, I have found that buddypress has this fatal flaw in that it wipes out the whole WordPress cache (not just buddypress parts) whenever someone logs in. Is this true for bbpress as well? I use a cheap shared host, and my site can not survive without caching as static, so this is critical…

[Steve D]

Thank you babsmiles,

That did the trick!

I didn’t need to add the function in my case, the shortcode worked using a php widget plugin.

[babsmiles]

Add this to your functions.php so that you can add shortcodes to the widgets –

add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

Add this to your text/html widget box:
