Are you sure the plugins are made for bbPress 2.x? Otherwise you’ll be spending a lot of time looking into it without any result in the end

1- what is plugins he use.

2- can i do a forum like that with BBpress or Simple:press with correct links and only want to show topics in <h2> and post summary only and the comments count as new authors

3- and if he didn’t use any forum plugins how can i do that to appear in google like forum ?

Thanks for help

@pimarts: thanks

I can activate them now.

It would be nice when the readme.txt of the plugins would tell me that too

It still doesn’t work, no buttons to make up the text or add images in sight though , i will look further.

Hi, I’m new to bbPress and have a question:

I’ve installed ppBress 2-0-beta 3 in WordPress 3.2.1

I made a directory /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-plugins and put in two plugins:

BBcode-lite.php and allow-images.php

Where can i activate them? They don’t show up in the plugin list /wp-admin/plugins.php and i don’t see a list with the forum-settings. And the plugins don’t seen to be working.

What am i missing here?

[folgerj]

Thanks I added the short code to create a new page that shows up on the menu line. I used the following…

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

[bbp-lost-pass]

[bbp-topic-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

At this location..

My only question is there anything better I can do with the shortcodes to implement the login and register page?

I am using the twenty eleven theme currently unmodified and using the [bbp-forum-index] short code to display the forums. The forums are displaying correctly however I have set my template page to have a side bar as it should according to the page code I’m using.

My question is: Does the short tag use it’s own template? Is that why the page is not rendering as any other page? ie: no sidebar when it should have one.

I will be making my own child theme with bbpress support, but that won’t be until I finish a plugin I’m working on first.

http://bregandaerth.just-us.net is the site. The forums page should look like all the other pages, but it does not.

Thanks for the short-codes John… but as a completely new user of bbPress how exactly do I use these? What is the proper structure, for instance, if I create a new page in wp and want to add this to the HTML?

The reason I ask is because I’ve been having problems getting bbPress setup properly and have posted this problem already in the forums but from what I gather – 1 or more of these short-codes might be the fix for my problem. Here is a snippet of my previous post stating the actual problem I’m having:

---

I’ve installed bbPress (2.0 version) and had a few problems then deleted it and re-installed. Now, when I go the “Forums” tab in wp-admin and I try to either edit the “draft” forum or add a new forum I get the naming option as:

http://www.maghosttrappers.com/forums/forum/????? (??? = whatever I type in as name)

Is this the correct settings? ie. /forums/forum/whatever_I_name … seems a little long and redundant…

I wasn’t sure if by re-installing I had caused a problem or if this being the “beta version” it was setup to not write over an existing forum…

Either way, can anyone tell me where and how to change this if possible (at least take out one of the “forum” parts?

---

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Scott

While I’ve got a little WP experience I’m completely new to bbPress so try to keep in simple aka. in “Lamon’s terms” ~ that is my last name after all LOL

1. Create a page with this shortcode [bbp-topic-index] (All shortcodes can be found here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-short codes )

2. Go to http://websiteaddress/wp-admin/options-reading.php

3. Choose the page you created in the first step to be your static homepage.

4. There is no fourth step

[master5o1]

You can create a regular wordpress page and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] so show the forum index, and perhaps [bbp-topic-index] also if you want recent topics to be displayed on the same page.

@sdp

Check #2 https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

I have no personal experience using shortcodes as I prefer having total control. What I can say is that after adding all the bbpress templates to your own theme folder and adding in the theme support function, then you have absolute total control over how you want everything to appear.

[emersonthis]

If you’ve installed BBPress as a plugin (as I have), I think this is the more or less the intended behavior. There doesn’t seem to be any documentation yet, but I assume it’s supposed to act like other plugins, which should piggy-back on the current theme for their appearance. The problem I’m having is that I can’t figure out how to control this.

Small update: through trial and error I’ve determined that the “page.php” template is what’s getting used for the forum page (no matter what is assigned to the page containing the shortcode). It seems like this is somehow hardcoded into the plugin, which is too bad. It shouldn’t be hard for it to check the assigned template of the page containing the shortcode.

[emersonthis]

My wp-config.php file is untouched.

There’s one leftover line of code from when I was running the free-standing version of BBPress:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/my/root/directory’ );

But I don’t think this should effect the theme at all.

I wasn’t asking, I was telling the topic starter

Anyway, is that link to the plugin on the download page new?

[emersonthis]

I’m experimenting with the BBPress plugin on a pre-existing WordPress site and I cannot figure out which template file is used to display the forum.

I’ve tried creating a new page and using shortcode to make the forum appear on that page, then assigning different templates. This seems to have no effect.

Does anyone know how the BBPress plugin decides which template file to use when displaying the forum?

[emersonthis]

I’m also running BBPress as a plugin to a pre-existing WordPress installation. After a lot of trial and error, I deduced that the forum appears on a WP page using the page.php template of the host wordpress theme.

I’ve tried manually assigning a different template file by using the BBPress shortcode on a specific page (created in wordpress) and then choosing a different template, but that option appears to get ignored, which is somewhat frustrating. I’m going to start a new thread for this issue, unless someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong.

[michaelvar]

I use bbpress as a part of buddyperss.

I have a general problem in buddypress that slugs of groups and forum topics that are non unicode are throwing the user back to home page.

The bbpress forum topic in the buddypress installation make the slug out of the sanitized subject/title,and because of my general slug problem I cannot create a topic with a non Unicode title.

I tried to solve it in many ways and didn’t get anywhere.

My question is – what I need to change in the bbpress files that will save topic in the DB with the forum topic id as the slug and not the title,or can I use some sort of a filter or hook to do that?

@anmari – At the risk of sounding defensive (which I’m not trying to be) please assume we develop everything with WP_DEBUG on, and anything that pops up is an oversight, not a lack of knowledge or ability. You can create trac tickets at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org to outline the steps to trigger the notices. Thanks!

@ashfame – Ticket please. Thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

If you’re using shortcodes, this is normal. You can hide it with CSS if need be. The problem comes from Theme Compat also using the output buffer from the shortcodes, to not have to duplicate a bunch of code.

I’ll dream up a cleaner solution, but until then this is expected behavior.

[Thomas Clausen]

I have tried the plugin for a while now. I have ported a big PHP-Fusion installation to bbPress.

I have two comments so far:

1. There’s something “funny” about the reply post type. I have written this issue regarding it: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/replies-sometimes-link-to-weird-content

2. The RSS feeds are also clunky as far as I can tell. Here’s my experience: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-feed-in-bbpress-plugin-doesnt-work

I also had an issue with the search, but since I just wanted a sitewide search, i just implemented Google CSE, and it’s working great for me.

I’m all for adding more settings, anytime rather that than having to punch a bunch of stuff into the functions.php

But to sum up, it’s already a lot better than what I have used for the past couple of years with PHP-Fusion.

And I see this particular line everywhere

Notice: Use of undefined constant paged - assumed 'paged' in /home/ashfame/www/dev.example.net/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php on line 263

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

is_bbpress() function currently doesn’t account for tag pages – http://dev.example.net/forums/topic-tag/testing/

Is it by design? I think it should account tag pages as they basically are bbPress pages.
