I have a blog with the Suffusion-theme on wich I just installed bbpress. I don’t need a fancy theme for bbpress.

* Created a new page for the forum (blablabla.com/Forum)

* Set up all the forums/subforum etc.

* Used the shortcode for showing the forum = [bbp-forum-index]

Things looks okey so far! Now I want to remove the sidebars from the forum (not the page, I know how to do that) and I have read a couple of tutorials but still don’t get it.

I don’t want to use a theme or childtheme, I want the forum to have the same coloring etc. as the Suffusion theme I use. So where do I remove the sidebars?

I have removed <?php get_sidebar(); ?> from:

* single-forum.php

* single-topic.php

* single-reply.php

as described in another thread in here. I changed this in mypage.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten

But I don’t use that theme. I use NO theme. So where do I remove the sidebars?

Please let me know what I’m doing wrong here!

If you wanna use bbPlugin (bbPress 2.0) you may want to make a plugin that do what you want. But by using bbPress you can use this plugin: Hidden Forums

Hi BJ, I’m afraid I’m none the wiser and have had no success getting the link on the menu. When I create a new Forum, from the bbPress plugin menu, the option of selecting the homepage template is not available. I’m not sure which page to call ‘page-front-forums’. I’ve no idea about shortcodes and from what I’ve tried to find out there’s nothing related to bbPress that can help with this problem.

General Comment: I got rid of another forum plugin because bbPress seemed to get better reviews and simpler config. The one I got rid of took 5 minutes to install and configure and it worked but just not the way I wanted it to. bbPress seems weirdly complicated requiring levels of knowledge beyond that of the ‘common user’ to even get it visible!

@binarymoon – nicely done! PayPal okay?

[amirsaam]

Before installing bbPlugin do you see activity stream?

Install WordPress again, then set up the BuddyPress. After that install bbPlugin on it.

If you saw issue again write it down again here

I like that smile )

[binarymoon]

easier than I imagined.

function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) {

return true;

}



add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');

How would you like to send me my dollar?

Now if only I could work out why this isn’t working properly – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-default-template-styles?

Great link BJ, thanks!

I also waiting for the upcoming codex by JJJ.

I have manage to administrate a bbPress forum at http://themescommunity.com/ , but still lots of question in minds. I will compile it first then ask at ones.

@noerman your questions are not actually related to shortcodes. You’d be better off starting new individual threads for your different questions.

Getting back on the topic of shortcodes: Just to reiterate what I brought up in the DevPress discussion about embedding forums in pages, I’d be very happy to have something like [bbp-reply-form id=$forum_id].

Hi, I’m new member here. It took me long time to start believe and use bbPress since it kind lack of features before bbPress 2.0

Now using bbPress 2.0, I develop (still locally) a forum site that turn out to be wonderful. Can’t wait to upload it into real site.

I’m using elegantthemes Premium WP theme and finally able to merge it with bbPress theme smoothly. I can’t believe how much power I have now after merge theme together, but I still trying to make it just like an ordinary forum site.

I willing to share my experiences next time, but I do need this account related shortcodes and found it here, Big Thanks!

I still have question about roles, how I can set specific forum moderator? or just maybe forum role manual in general will be great.

I notes most plugin were outdated, can we force them to update it? I know that a silly question, but it a wish (our wish actually).

[imxportal]

Before I download, I have some quick questions. Do your forums allow adsense and private forum topics for paying VIP members? Is it easy to set up or do I need to know code?

[varsitysmack]

Hey, John:

Yes, I could see the forums and figured out that this is an issue with the URL. The way that I have my forums set up is that there are hard coded links in the WP pages that link to each forum. With the old setup the link structure went to groups and then the last part of the URL was /forum. I figured out that the new bbPress isn’t integrated in with groups and that I will need to do a batch upload of new URL’s for all of my WP pages to update the links. I have over 1,800 individual forums and use the WP pages to ‘drill down’ so the site users can easily get to where they want to go.

This leads to my next question – when will bbPress 2.0 be fully integrated with buddypress forums and when it does integrate, will I be able to use my old link structure like it was set up when I had the old bbPress running?

Why would you remove the “Freshness” code from public views by the way?

[pjeurien]

I am trying to figure out how to allow custom shortcodes in topic posts. So far i’ve been trying to use bbp_shortcodes like this.

function bbp_custom_shortcode($codes) {

$codes[] = array(‘item’ => ‘item_func’);

return $codes;

}

add_filter( ‘bbp_shortcodes’, ‘bbp_custom_shortcode’);

The codes array is appended but it does nothing Can you explain how to do it properly.

[amirsaam]

Thank you Adam You made me happy. Going to now BP functions!!!

[amirsaam]

Yep JJJ, bbPlugin is very good but I’ve still have no skill in using it. Other way our people like the StandAlone more than the bbPlugin. For now I want learn more about the SA

This BackPress question is that I want know it and you can better answer me, is that possible to get some function from WordPress after integrating? BackPress will be used here?

[John James Jacoby]

There is. $1 to the person that looks for the function and finds out how.

[ebharding]

Any progress on this?

Here is a screen shot of the dashboard showing the issue.

my timezone is “Pacific” and that is set in the wordpress settings.

system clock says 12:21,

post time stamp is 12:06 and

the freshness say 7 hours ago.

The forums are going live next week and I am in the process of removing the “Freshness” code from the public views.

[amirsaam]

In bbPress times of posts and topics are like Twitter, like 20 minute ago and etc. Then, when the time be very long ago it will shown like what is in General setting date and time field

Hi Anointed, thanks for that. I really need to get my punBB moved to something else ASAP, and was hoping the bbpress might be the one.

Indeed, I just went from punbb > phpbb etc, as there is no direct conversion. It does seems that along the way, little things break – which in the end screw up the final conversion step.

Looking forward to a new release of your tool

I’m advancing! Have found php files in my file manager and have managed to change one and it worked! Unfortunately the changes were not re this bbtheme change. I have reread these posts but I’m afraid I’m still really not clear on what is the right changes to make to my php files so that weaver refers to the bbpress templates.

I’ve transferred the bbpress twenty ten file to my weaver theme file. Can someone from bbpress (or someone who has successfully done this) give instructions for the code changes that are needed?

Thanks heaps – can’t wait to get this baby working!

[amirsaam]

Yep, the counting is the problem. but first go and see is your way possible or not. Get the # a +1 will be awesome but how will stored in database? hum?

I have not a good knowledge about database but I know make a +1 to database is a very hard way!

My way is the way bbPress go, how? bbPress count it, store it into the database and you don’t need to store it again, jus’ get it and show it. Your way said bbPress counted it & stored it into db, ok I don’t need it. I’ll count & store it again then show it (I didn’t used bbPlugin, maybe I didn’t see what’s going on here!) but in this way countin’ will be lower but the problem is the +1 that is possible or not cause MySQLs I think have not this ability and everytime they overwrite themselves mean they recount and rewrite the metas, they are not mathmen
