Added this to my theme functions file:

// Adding function to block page content for any pages containing bbpress shortcodes.
add_filter(‘mepr-pre-run-rule-content’, ‘do_block_the_content’, 99, 3);

function do_block_the_content($block, $current_post, $uri) {
$block = 1;
return $block;
}
It seems to be doing what I want, but we’ll see.

I have read this topic:

Issues inserting/embedding videos

But when I insert the “bbpress shortcodes” there are two problems:

1/ The new setting does not show on my TinyMCE Advanced toolbar
2/ Going to their support forum results in an invalid domain

According to TinyMCE the [video] shortcode it support to render as a video. But when I paste it I just get the text. Now, I tried adding the functions.php to return video(...) but I got the same error for video being unknown.

So I am abit stuck.

I was hoping to use the dedicated TinyMCE “Video” but that only works for admin and I have no solution about the frustrating escaping of the chevrons. Thus I am looking at this video shortcode as an alternative.

[Chuckie]

Awesome indeed. I did not put two and two together. But then I noticed what it said on the screen:

Customise your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.

Doh!

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t really understand why you need 2 separate pages for your forums.

If you create a page that matches the slug for your forum root, it will use that page instead, as well as the title.

Then, you can use bbPress shortcodes to fill in the content.

This is what we do here on bbPress.org, and it works pretty well.

Nope. I just tried with short codes and still shows no forums/threads.

Hi,

I’m currently using BuddyPress, bbPress, and Image and video gallery from Google Drive (all are latest updated). The plugin “Image and video gallery from Google Drive” provides a shortcodes is [sgdg path=”MyPath”]. I tried installing “bbPress – Do Shortcode” and it worked. However, the javascript file for loading is missing. Anyone can help me out please?

[Chuckie]

We have shortcodes for the login and password reset process.

The login form has a logout button that avoids the confirmation prompt.

The default logout experience asks the user to confirm.

What would be nice is ability for a logout shortcode that we can put on our own page so that the question is asked consistent with the theme.

I am using My Theme Login plugin so I can specify what page to use for logout.

As mentioned, the login form is avoiding the prompt but it would be nice if it was optional to show the prompt and that it could be done on our own page.

the [bsp-display-topic-index] shortcode in my style pack plugin may be what you need

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to see how it works

I don’t use hand-coded, inline tempolates. I am using Templatera of WPBakery, and I am happy with it as it gives me a graphical overview of the structure, and they are easy to re-make or replace.

In WPBakery, I have a javascript module, an html module, but there is no PHP module.

But there is a text module which does accept shortcodes.
What do you recommend in this scenario?

[berry metal]

I want to output bbPress single topic shortcodes with different IDs, through my single post template.

On post with the title “A” shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=6041], on post with the title “B” shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=6042], etc…

And the matching I need it via title strings, meaning that the topic with id 6041 would have the title “A”, and the topic with id 6042 would have the title “B”.

How to achieve this, and what would be the dynamic query?

I am using bbPress instead of comments, as they are post type, and I want to use this advantage.

bbp style pack

lets you add an ‘edit profile’ to the menu see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

and also has a shortcode that you can put into a text widget in the sidebar

[bsp-profile’ label=’Edit Profile’ edit=’y’]

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

Hi,

I have a gallery I would like to add either within the forum description or within a topic but bbpress is not parsing the shortcode. It is not a bbpress shortcode, it comes from a gallery plugin.

How do I enable parsing of other shortcodes within bbpress?

Thanks!

Good Afternoon,

I am currently having an issue with getting my template overrides to work on bbpress pages, like forums and questions( indlucing shortcodes). I have the files located in /wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress/ but they are not working. Is there something I have done wrong? Or something I need to do? I am trying to edit loop-forums.php and others.

Many thanks in advance for any help or advice,

Kind regards,

Dave

Robin, I’m closing the site again to try to restore some of what was deleted.

I think I found a solution. I simply created another page and used elementor and bsp shortcodes. Whichs seem to work fine. The Archives piece has disappeared and I can style with your shortcodes 🙂

In the case of categories, having elementor settings post types checked for posts seems to take away any ability to do anything with categories. I suppose that could have been the case with the archives bit, as well. but that really doesn’t make sense sense WP was completely deleted, including elementor. Perhaps it’s in phpMyAdmin. idk.

Anyway, we’re all good here. Just one question. Do I now need to change the root slug?

Thank you!
Storm

[StormD]

at this point, I am using bsp shortcodes…some work as stated..some don’t..so I’m just at a loss

[splintercell]

Back to square one. I have tried everything I can think of. I have looked at several articles here, copied and pasted lots of CSS codes, tried everything I can think ok. Need some help please. Thank you.

[dudo001]

It’s simple [bbp-single-topic id=724]
but there is not any result on the webpage.
Clicking on WP Menus->Forums at Forum-ID the number 724 is shown.
Via the hyperlink https://www.domain.com/root/forum/forum1/ the Topics are shown correctly.
—
The shortcodes [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-stats] (without any ID) on the other hand work perfectly.

[dudo001]

Ok, the hyperlink I found myself,
but I can’t guess why the single-shortcodes don’t show anything…

[dudo001]

by the way:
Do you know why the single-shortcodes of bbPress don’t work?
[bbp-single-topic] [bbp-single-forum] [bbp-single-reply] [bbp-single-tag] and so on
have absolute no effect

Hello John,
Thank you for your answer !
Here is a small video to show you my issue : https://www.dropbox.com/s/wcfqnysi7esby74/bbpress-shortcode-pages.mp4?dl=0

I think the issue comes from my LearnDash plugin because the pages where I include the shortcodes are handled by LearnDash.

Here is for example an anonymized url where the shortcode doesn’t work as expected:
https://QQQ.com/formations/QQQ/modules/module-4-sketchnoting/chapitres/chapitre-1-QQQ/

The “page/2/” added to the url when cliking to the link (https://QQQ.com/formations/QQQ/modules/module-4-sketchnoting/chapitres/chapitre-1-QQQ/page/2/) doesn’t go to the wanted page, it create an error 404.

The best that could happen here would be to be able to link the pagination buttons to the dedicated forum page, but I don’t know if it is possible…

Best regards and thank you for your help!

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress.org uses shortcodes on a few archive pages, but in a way where the pagination links already naturally match the permalink & slug structure.

Can you reply and include an anonymized version of the pagination structure that you’re seeing?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress registration, so anything that does WordPress registration will work fine, including many free custom add-on plugins

you can also use the bbpress registration shortcode on a page

Shortcodes

[Adunakhor]

We have an HTML5 website using SimpleCMS, and a linked WordPress blog. I have installed the WordPress bbPress forum plugin on that blog site. When it seemed like it was lacking what appeared to be some pretty basic controls, I also installed the bbPress Toolkit plugin.

Since that also seemed to lack what to me should have been basic components of a working forum, I also installed the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin. It amazes me that a tool that is this popular seems to lack simple ordinary functions like clear login and registration tools that link directly to the forum.

Using the shortcodes, I created separate pages for login, registration and lost passwords, but once logged in, it still does not take the user to the main forum page. In fact, it goes nowhere. I would think that there should be a simple field for adding the path to the forum to which the user would be registering or logging in, but there isn’t. Instead, it just states “You are already logged in.” on the login screen with no link to anywhere else.

Can someone please explain to me how I can get the login to take the user to the actual forum page after they login? To me this should be automatic, but for some reason it is unnecessarily complicated.

Also, is there not a way to manage the subscription without requiring the user to have a WP or bbPress account? All I want is a private forum with users who can create their own usernames and passwords to login and share information, without that user data being shared with anyone else. For some reason, this simple task seems to be too much to expect.

So unless I’m doing something completely wrong (which is entirely possible), I need a way to resolve this with the tools available in bbPress. Any practical solutions are welcome. Thanks.

I found a solution https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ and https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/shortcode-bbp-single-forum/

Forum Index (does same thing when using shortcodes), Child Forum, and Topics:

After upgrading to 2.6 RC 7, and doing forum repairs, I lost the header, categories and formatting for my forum index and child forums. The topics work just fine still.

To troubleshoot, I deactivated all plugins, removed bbPress, activated the default 17 theme, and removed my primary theme. If I re-install/activate bbpress, the index and children headers then show up, albeit without the default styling.

So I reinstalled my theme (which has native bbpress/buddypress support built in), re-activated bbpress, and the headers/categories/formatting disappeared again.

I wanted to think it was a css issue, but I had re-installed everything fresh. So it appears something corrupted my database, tied specifically to my theme. Any recommendations for how to “fix” the repairs and undo the damage?

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to fix this without a wholesale home home directory and sql db restoral. But I’d lose WEEKS of edits and css customization. Ughh

Thank you in advance!!
