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!

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?

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!!

[BizDev Results]

Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I am new to bbpress.

I have been looking for a way to arrange my bbpress page to look like the https://bbpress.org/forums/

With a short description of each forum on the left hand column and the list of recent topics on the right.

Is this done with shortcodes or css or will it require development? if it is shortcodes, can someone share them with me?

Thanks!

When members on my site are pasting text into a post, it’s showing up as a bunch of code with HTML tags. If I paste the same text as an admin, it shows up fine. I’d like it to either work for them like it works for me, or to at least strip out the tags and show plain text. Help? Thanks.

For example, they paste text that shows up like this:

<div class=”section-block” style=”margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background: #fbfbfb; color: #222222; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif;”>
<h2 style=”margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 20px; vertical-align: middle; background: transparent; color: #000000;”>Getting Started</h2>
<p style=”margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;”>New to BuddyPress? Not sure where to begin? <i style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;”>Getting Started</i> is here to help!

</div>
<div class=”section-block” style=”margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background: #fbfbfb; color: #222222; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif;”>
<h2 style=”margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 20px; vertical-align: middle; background: transparent; color: #000000;”>BuddyPress Features</h2>
</div>

And I paste it and it shows up as normal text (with proper styling/formatting):

BuddyPress Features

[spellman]

That’s for popular bbcodes, but it doesn’t let you make your own. =(

[spellman]

I’m trying to figure out how to add shortcodes/bbcode to my bbpress website. I used to do this a lot with phpbb, but I can’t figure out how to do it with bbpress.

I want my users to be able to type in [card]Serra Angel[/card] and have the posted code be <div class=”card”>Serra Angel</div>.

How can I add this? Ideally, it would reside in forum posts as button, much like the LINK IMG CODE etc buttons.

[atcreat]

I created a site using buddypress. The shortcodes like [bbp-login], [bbp-register], [bbp-lost-pass] not working. It just shows the shortcode. I tested it with the theme Twenty Seventeen and NO other plugin installed. WordPress 5.1.1, PHP 7.3 (tested also with 5.6 and 7.2), and Buddypress 4.2.0.
You can see it here: https://bbpress.at-creation.ch/login/
Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

sure it’s in

[rngeer]

Hello,

BBPress is running great on this site but if a visitor is a guest and clicks a topic to view the content, they are redirected to the home page. We are using WordPress pages with shortcodes to manage the forum.

If you view the sample forum and click the I’m In topic it goes to the home page as guests. We need guests to be able to see the topic info to decide if they want to join.

Any info would be great, here is the page:

<a href=”http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/forums/main-forum/&#8221;

Thank you.

[w3215]

Sorry–I think there was a typo earlier. The shortcodes are here:https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

Shortcode for create new topic page: [bbp-topic-form]
for new topic specific to an id: [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]

[w3215]

Hi There. I am new to bbpress, but I had a similar requirement, and I believe the following works:

1) Create a page where users can create a new topic. To do this, you can use one of these shortcodes: for new topic page: [bbp-topic-form]
for topic specific to forum id: [bbp-topic-form]

2) Put a link to this page in the menu. (so in your menu, have a “Create a New Topic” link that takes you to the new topic page).

WP : 5.0.2
bbPress : 2.5.14
Theme : Custom (built with _S)

Hi everyone,

Im having some issues in my custom theme.
I have a custom register page where I put this code :

<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[bbp-register]‘ ); ?>

The thing is, I don’t want the user to be redirected to my wp-login page after registration, for obvious security reasons.
I had a look to some codes but non of them fit to my issue.
Do someone have any idea ?
Cheers,

Chaaampy.

[Robin W]

not totally sure what you are trying to do, but you could create a page and out the following shortcodes in it

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] 
[bbp-forum-index]

where $topic_id is the topic you want at the top.

If you just want some basic rules, then you can create this as text and put it on a page above the [bbp-forum-index]

[phil1ooo]

Hello
New to bbpress “to be honest I have always used wpForo” and I am finding it to be far far easier than this bbpress option and a much cleaner appearance, where I would of had wpForo up and running in less than 30 minutes, I have been working on this bbPress for 2 days now and still now where near making it usable to frontend members”

But here I am giving you guys the benefit of the dout as my current needs require something a little different.
My issue not displaying the profile page as that is childs play to do but to get the /user page edited so that it all properly aligns https://support.ozy.net.au/support-forums/users/dummy/

Now click on this link https://support.ozy.net.au/support-forum/ to login.
I have created a dummy account that I will leave active for a few days giving you change to have a look
UN – dummy@yours.com
PW – 1dummytest1

I understand/know these are widgets but my issue is not being able to access this USERS page to make any changes and i can’t seem to find it anywhere in the system or cPanel file system.

I also have the same issue with another plugin but just can’t find it right now.
This “bbp Topic Count” plugin also doesn’t work as no shortcodes displayed here actually work
Thi scan be seen here https://support.ozy.net.au/top-users/ at it should appear above the profile you see there “considering you do see that profile from your end that is”

Having said this I have spent the last 2 days looking online at options and ways around all these things but most of what you find is so outdated and the rest in most part doesn’t work.

I am creating this for a network which means just setting it up is a big job without the hassles this plugin is giving me and the last thing I need is constant maybe’s and what if’s so either this plugin works or it doesn’t. Not trying to be rube just very direct in my needs.

Hope you can help.
Cheers

HELP: WP 4.9.8; bbPress 2.5.15; site: azor.vip

Hello, I am a senior citizen noob building a one-off site. I wish to post admin questions from my backend what will appear live on my site.

I have written my post and clicked on Published. Nothing happens. Some time ago when I asked this same question, I was told to do something with shortcodes. I became frustrated because I don’t know what a shortcode is, where I find it, and what I do with it. So I am re-visiting my original question.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some steps.

[marketing050]

Okay, i used shortcodes for pages and redirected the index to these specific pages. But now the different users can’t see the specific topics. They are listed in the index with all the topics, but when you click further on a specific topic, I still get an 404 error. How do i change this?

[jd-fb]

I was wondering if there were a way to not have a topic’s content appear in its own box at the top of the reply list. Ditto for the forum content (in other words, the HTML that output using bbp_topic_content() and bbp_forum_content() respectively).

The built-in bbPress styling shows the topic and forum content in a box that has the same (or very simiar) styling as replies. In my case, I’d like to remove the box so that the content appears as though it’s the lead-in text of a page (with H2s, H3s and so forth) with the replies + reply form below.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Idea / potential solution 1)
I found that I can do this:

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'show_text');
function show_text() {
	ob_start();	
	echo '<div class="my_class">';
	add_action ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'do_shortcode'); // added b/c the content may have shortcodes
	bbp_topic_content();
	echo '</div>';   
	$output = ob_get_clean();   
	echo $output;
}

But this results in the topic content appearing in both the “top” of the page (as I’d prefer) and in its box listed with the replies (which I’d like to remove).

Idea / potential solution 2)
I’m guessing there’s something I can do with a template. If so, can someone direct me to how my plug-in can override bbPress’s template? I haven’t done a lot of template work.

Troubleshooting
– All themes have this “extra box” issue.
– Using WP 4.9.8
– Using bbPress 2.5.14-6684
– I’m working on a local site, so I can’t provide a link

[gokberktalu]

Is there a simple way to make the forum index page full width? I’ve searched the support forum and copied various CSS codes but nothing worked so far..
