Hey community!
I just joined BBPress a day ago, and completely alien to it. I basically want to understand how can you increase font size for the forums as its pretty small. Also if you are telling me to do with CSS. Please tell me where can I find CSS and how can I do it? Where to paste codes, I am in urgent help, please support!

This plugin has a shortcode that lets you display recent topics by forum or forums

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

see dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for options

[Themezly]

I am working on a theme and need to deque all bbpress scripts and enque my own if I am on forum pages. This is what I used to start with

	if( !is_admin() ){ 
		/**
		 *	Replace bbpress style with our own
		 *  @internal
		 */
		function _thz_action_bbpress_style() {
			
			wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp-default' );
			
			if (is_bbpress()){
				
				wp_enqueue_style( THEME_NAME. '-bbpress' );	
		
			}
			
	
		}
		
		if (function_exists('is_bbpress')){
			add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_thz_action_bbpress_style' );
		}
		
		
	
	}

issue with this is that is_bbpress() is not recognized on pages that use any bbpress shortcodes like

[bbp-forum-index]

Can someone please provide a working conditional that runs only on forum pages and not throughout the whole site. Thnx!

[Robkk]

This is the bbpress.php file that you would need and its required code.

https://gist.github.com/robkk/a89e6cff104f70556f52c6df3f6b69b0

This is the custom CSS you will need.

.bbpress .main-inner,
.bbpress .main {
  background: none !important;
  padding-right: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
}

This will not work for pages with bbPress shortcodes though.

But you can work around that since most shortcodes are supposed to be placed in pages, you can create another template just for full width layouts in your theme. You can use this whenever you create a new page and select the template to use for your page.

To create a full-width template, you can literally just copy the bbpress.php file I created for you, rename it to full-width.php, put it in your child theme, now you need to edit the file and place

<?php
/*
Template Name: Full-Width
*/
?>

right above

<?php get_header(); ?>

You will need more custom css for any page using this template in your theme and it should be

.page-template-full-width .main-inner,
.page-template-full-width .main  {
  background: none !important;
  padding-right: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
}

If you plan to use both, just combine the two custom CSS statements, and now you should be good to go.

SOLUTION!

REMOVED:
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', array( $this, "shortcode_whitelist" ) );
FROM PLUGIN:
bbPress Advanced Statistics, file: class-bbpress-advanced-statistics-extras.php
CAUSE:
Breaks the loading of shortcodes.

I’m hopeful this will help someone else. It seemed to be a problem with the bbPress Advanced Statistics plugin.

[winrarz]

It seems to me that this is the problematic code:

in content-single-topic.php

		<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); ?>
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

If I remove this code block, all of the shortcodes start working.

UPDATE 1:
More specifically, this is the exact row that the problem appears at:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>

UPDATE 2:
I followed the problem down to..
in file loop-single-reply.php
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>

If I remove this line, the shortcodes starts magically working.

[winrarz]

Hello,

We have a problem on our site with loading shortcodes on /topic/ pages, as you can see in the link below:
http://www.futsverige.se/forums/topic/test/

However, the shortcodes work everywhere else. So the problem seems to be within bbPress suppressing the do_shortcode() calls from the theme.

Anyone knows what could cause this or point us in the right direction on how to circumvent it?

Thanks

So, really, I have a two-part question. First, I’d like to add some new roles. I’ve read and looked all over the place without any real answer. I know what codes to use per the documentation. That said, I’m not sure which file to place them in and that’s the part I can’t find definitive answers on. If someone could direct me which directory and file to add it to that’d be great. I already know not to do it to the BBpress core files.

Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?

[Schoelje]

[Warning]: DO NOT DO THIS ON A PRODUCTION DATABASE!
My apologies for the caps, but this is really important 😉

[Assumptions]: Debian/Ubuntu developmachine with phpMyAdmin.

[Note]: Obviously I haven’t tested all Apache/MySql versions. This was done on SolydK (Debian Jessie). It is also not perfect. So, if somebody can improve on the code. Please, let me know.

After you’ve setup a development machine, imported the phpBB data and checked that everything is working fine, you still need to convert the phpBB internal links like “viewtopic.php?p=####” or “viewtopic.php?t=####” to the slugs that are being used by bbPress.

Let’s start!

1) First you’ll need to install and compile lib_mysqludf_preg.
Create a bash file install_preg.sh with this content:

#!/bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install libpcre3-dev libmysqlclient-dev build-essential libmysqld-dev libpcre3-dev
wget https://github.com/mysqludf/lib_mysqludf_preg/archive/testing.zip
unzip testing.zip
cd lib_mysqludf_preg-testing
./configure
make  install
make MYSQL="mysql -p" installdb
service mysql restart

Make it executable:
chmod +x install_preg.sh

And run it:
./install_preg.sh

2) Install the stored procedures.
In phpMyAdmin, select the database and the SQL tab.
Paste the following codes separately, creating three stored procedures on your database:

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_cleanup_replies()
BEGIN
  -- declare cursor for reply url change
  DECLARE reply_cursor CURSOR FOR

3) Run the stored procedures from terminal.
It is important that you check some example posts with links that need to change. First the post links like “viewtopic.php?some_parameters#p#####”, then topic links like “viewtopic.php?some_parameters&t=#####” and lastly the links to missing posts are removed.

mysql -u root -p -e 'CALL sp_cleanup_replies()' my_database

mysql -u root -p -e 'CALL sp_cleanup_topics()' my_database

mysql -u root -p -e 'CALL sp_cleanup_missing()' my_database

Now, check your posts and when you’re happy you can drop the stored procedures:

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS sp_cleanup_replies;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS sp_cleanup_topics;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS sp_cleanup_missing;

Not really sure what you are doing.

Can you give us a link to a page showing the issue, and post the content of that page – ie the shortcodes etc. that is creating it.

[Robin W]

try the shortcodes in my style pack

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′]

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[pcpro178]

Are there shortcodes for getting a member/user’s recent posts or comments? I don’t see anything like this in the documentation. It seems like a rather basic thing to have with a bulletin board or forum.

[semperaye]

Is there a way to allow bbpress users with the “participant” role to upload media by url only, i.e. disable the media library. I want my users to be able to put pictures into their post that are hosted other places without having to figure codes and such.

Thank you!

[Robin W]

bbpress has various widgets and well as shortcodes, so you can call it from pages, posts and sidebars

check out the documentation !

Hi guys

I know this is more an issue with another plugin, but I thought I would post here as well in case anyone had an ideas

See original post here

I’m using the “NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster“ and since setting it up 3 days ago, I’ve come in after the weekend and found it’s killed any pages I have using BBpress shortcodes (eg [bbp-forum-index]) The direct links to the forums are working fine, it’s just pages containing shortocdes.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

[u_Oi]

Hi Guys!

I found the guide where are the codes for “Show status labels for bbPress Topics”… Well, I want to add a label for “Topics with No replies”, i tried do it by myself but It makes me crazy..

Does anybody know which reference or functions should I use?

Thanks.

[Robkk]

Can you post a link to the page on your site that you put the search form shortcodes, so I could test and see what possibly could be the issue.

[rateyourway]

Hi!

I am very new to bbpress and i’m trying to set it up on my site.

I have created a bbpress forum page where i display shortcodes. The shortcode for the search shows up, but it won’t find any topic.

Anyone has an idea of what i’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

[sharingdiscount]

Hi there,
I’m getting the same issue with this for my website Sharing Discout & Popular Codes
Looking for the solutions

Best,

[dani8519]

Hi there

here an picture i want my forum:

how i dit it?

i get an new site and add shortcodes like [bbp-single-forum id=3234]
…

now the breadcrumbs are linking on the “original” root “/forums” link… so i have think, ok, make an site with the perma link on /forums/ and add the shortcodes…

but when i dit this, my site looks like this:

so, can you please help me change “only” the one breadcrumbs to my custom site, or what can i do the “originally” “/forums/” works correctly with the shortcodes?

thank you very much

greetz

[Robin W]

not quite sure what you are after.
can you not use the shortcodes

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

[zimmermann.c]

I was not aware that shotcodes even existed for bbp.
Further to your advice I seached and found the documentation of all the SC’s. This is a great step for me.
Thank you for your help

[cigar07]

Hi,

[bbp-topic-form] is not working. I am able to use others shortcodes and they work fine but not the new topic form.

Please can someone tell me the cause this shortcode isn´t working?

[Pascal Casier]

OK, now I see !
How about [bbp-lost-pass] ?
Check out https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

Pascal.

[Robkk]

Well not a bbPress specific plugin, but there are a few plugins that can work with custom post types (bbPress uses custom post types).

A plugin I found and tested is called NS Featured Posts, but like I said many other plugins could possibly work too.

After installing the plugin make sure to go to Settings > NS Featured Posts and make sure to add the topic custom post type from bbPress in the plugin’s settings.

Now we can go to Topics > All Topics and see a new column that says Featured. Make sure to click the checkbox near the topic you would want to feature.

Now we are going to make a custom view to display these featured topics in a topic list, and also be able to display them in pages with a shortcode.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php or insert this snippet into a custom plugin like functionality.

This function displays about 10 featured topics on a single page, change 10 to whatever you want.

function rkk_register_featured_view() {
 bbp_register_view( 'featured', __( 'Featured Topics' ),  array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes', 'posts_per_page' => '10', 'max_num_pages' => '1'), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'rkk_register_featured_view' );

Now in a custom page or widget area that has a widget text area that can handle shortcodes, insert this shortcode.

[bbp-single-view id='featured']`
