[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! Everything you need to know about setting up your new BuddyPress powered site is here from installing and activating to setting up Extended Profile fields.</p>

</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):

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.

sure it’s in

\bbpress 2.5.13\includes\common\shortcodes.php

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]

@Robin I did that. Can I add codes to those who want to?

[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..

[Helmuts]

another sample of the latest forums page where the above mentioned bbcodes have been used: https://www.ibf.lv/svaigakas-foruma-zinas/ (Latvian business forum)

[Helmuts]

A quick update – ..this topic ranks in the top positions of Google on these keywords and needs updating.

My suggestion: set up plugin “bbPress Advanced Statistics” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

and use the shortcode: [bbpas-activity] (you have to enable it first in settings under “extra” tab”

—

Sample (latest forum posts): https://www.lustjobs.com/latest-posts-custom-forum-view/

There are 2 bbcodes on this page:
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbpas-activity]

—

as for the default bb code: you have to use use [bbp-stats] not [bbp-statistics]

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress has a login and registration widget include to use in the sidebar. It also has shortcodes to embed these forms into pages, so you can use that to make your login/register page and style it using CSS.

[robineero]

I am thinking of soving this idea by creating new page for every forum page with shortcodes and by using redirection plugin to redirect original forum link to customised one.

Does it make sense?

[Robin W]

Shortcodes

and to customise and style bbpress try

bbp style pack

[Yin Jin]

i want to show forums on my own theme but i don’t know how. does bbpress provide shortcodes?

[andreasyeah]

ok got it! since i am not that much into codes,

could you please tell me where i have to add the post type if the post type is “release” for example:

/** Only process for post types we specify */
if( !in_array( $post->post_type, apply_filters( ‘bbppt_eligible_post_types’, array( ‘post’, ‘page’ ) ) ) ) {
return;

thank you very much for your help 😉
