see if the shortcode works in a default theme first

as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

if it still doesnt see if its a plugin issue

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue

if its not a plugin issue and is working in a default theme then your right about it being your theme

do the other shortcodes work fine?? if so see if you only messed up this file below

did you do any customization to this file content-archive-forum.php

[Robkk]

that plugin probably still works its just not maintained by the developer anymore

its still here for anyone to fork though https://github.com/mravaioli/wp-modal-login

there are also many alternatives for a modal popup form

this plugin assigns menu items without additional code plus it has a facebook login option

https://wordpress.org/plugins/zm-ajax-login-register/

there is also others with captcha support

wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-bootmodal-login/

and also a very simple one but would need to activate the CSS class option in the menu settings

wordpress.org/plugins/simplemodal-login/installation/

there is also cool tutorial for developers that could probably just hook up the bbPress shortcodes

When using shortcode bbp-topic-index with other shortcode (bbp-forum-index)pagination returning url is different than using topic-index by freshness.
=> with multiple shortcodes: ../forums/page/2/
=> with topics by freshness: ../forum/forumname/page/2/
How to solve this?

[Robkk]

shortcodes do not post in bbPress

use this plugin

Hi,

I started to setup my first forum.
For me it is necessary to share files.
I’m using the WordpRess Download Manager PlugIn
https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/
to share files and I have the following problem:

I would like to use the Short-Codes (e.g. [wpdm_package id=’120′])
of the Download Manager to insert files into a Topic, but ist doesn’t work.
The Topic displays only the commands and doesn’t display the designed download buttons.

Is anyone able to help? Or should I use an other PlugIn to share files?

Thx for your help.

Hi there,

I’ve been working around bbpress for the past 5 hours, and i’m now using the plugin bbpress addition shortcodes to build my forum.

This is my forum:
http://invaderz.pt/community/?page_id=29

As you can see, i have multiple forum indexes, but they all have the same name. But i need them to have different names from each other.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thank you for you time,
Miguel

[Robin W]

yes but you’ll need to do some coding

see

http://generatewp.com/shortcodes/

the code would go in your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

and the code you’ll be seeking to shortcode is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

in particular

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

[Seo45]

Hello everyone, I’m having a problem. I am using something called uerpro, and I integrated it into bbpress, but it now makes it where the profile links to the userpro profiles. This is what I want, but I was wondering if the things like: New posts, replies, signature and everything that was in the bbpress profile page can be put into the userpro profile page. It uses a single page as the template, so if there are shortcodes or something, that would be perfect. Thank you for any help!

[Robkk]

use the shortcodes

here is the one for the new topic form

[bbp-topic-form]

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

[WilRC]

Any news on this?
using several shortcodes breaks the paginationfunction! I have these shortcodes:

[bbp-forum-index]
[tabs type="horizontal"] [tabs_head] [tab_title]Recente Topics[/tab_title] [tab_title]Ongelezen Topics[/tab_title] [tab_title]Zoeken[/tab_title] [/tabs_head] [tab][bbp-topic-index][/tab] [tab][bbp-single-view id="no-replies"][/tab] [tab][bbp-search-form][/tab] [/tabs]

Clicking on page2 gives a no resultpage!

[peter-hamilton]

Hi Robkk, thanks for having a look again.

I agree with the profile nav and am changing that next, have just downloaded the plugin you mentioned and will have a look at it, looks a lot bigger then the code I am using…but has a lot more functions I like to include like sharing those backgrounds on activity etc, will use it tomorrow.

I also removed all Epicweb stuff so the forums page looks normal again, I was long focused on creating the right category/forum list, but ended up using a page with shortcodes in the end, so that code was just clutter anyway, so thanks again.

It seems this is a known issue for WordPress when ordering by meta query. BBPress does this to order by “last active” which is the default (and in my case, desired).

Loading a forum index, on my site, takes about 20 seconds.

Here is the offending SQL:

    [9] => Array
        (
            [0] => SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_posts.post_parent = 9  AND wp_posts.post_type = 'topic' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time' ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15
            [1] => 19.448324918747
            [2] => require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), apply_filters('template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters('bbp_template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_forum, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/xx/bbpress/content-single-forum.php'), bbp_has_topics, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
        )

There’s a ticket which seems to be addressing my problem here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

Unless I’m misreading it, the upshot is “We should probably be using post_modified on the topic instead of a meta value for ‘last activity’, so as to avoid using the JOIN… but we haven’t yet”.

So how do other sites do it? This one, for instance? Or WordPress.org? They have more posts than I do, but have got around this issue somehow.

Any solution?

Thanks.

[Robin W]

yes, just create a wordpress page and put one of the following shortcodes in it

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

[Twist360]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to have a page in WordPress which shows two sections:

1) posts with 20 or more replies
2) posts with 19 or less replies

I have created a page with the following shortcodes:

[bbp-single-view id="twentyplus_posts"]
[bbp-single-view id="lesstwenty_posts"]

I have added the following into my themes functions.php file:

// Add Custom View - Forum Home

add_action( 'bb_init', 'view_twentyplus_posts_init' );

function view_twentyplus_posts_init() 
{
	$args = array( 'post_count' => '>19' );
	bb_register_view( 'twentyplus_posts', __('Popular Posts', 'example'), $args, false );
}

add_action( 'bb_init', 'view_lesstwenty_posts_init' );

function view_lesstwenty_posts_init() 
{
	$args = array( 'post_count' => '<20' );
	bb_register_view( 'lesstwenty_posts', __('Forum Posts', 'example'), $args, false );
}

However all I get in response is:

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

[Robin W]

For those who have been asking a new plugin which hopefully will help

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

Changing style items – now in this plugin so no need to create child themes and post complicated code into style sheets

Changing how the forum looks, the most asked for items, such as vertical sub forums, hiding counts, adding ‘create new topic’ links, removing ‘private’ prefix, adding forum descriptions, changing breadcrumbs and more

Login – create simple menu items to help with logging in, registration and changing profiles

Shortcodes – 3 useful new shortcodes to help your display

Feedback both positive and ‘needs improvement’ welcomed !

[netposer]

The main forum page (created during the install process using Method 1 or Method 2 shows no forum info.

If I create a new topic (admin) and go directly there I can see the post, reply and see other forums

I created a forum called “t-forums” and added “For Sale” and “General” under that. Everything works just great except the parent (Forums).
Home › Forums › t-forums › For Sale

So the parent (Forums) seems broke and doesn’t show the forum items on it’s page.

I’ve removed the plugin and added it back with the same results.

[nicholmikey]

After installing BBPress nothing was working, I could see a list of forums if I went to /forums/ but nothing appeared to create a new forum or post, and no form appeared to enter a reply. I rebuilt the pages using the shortcodes and this worked great, but if I click “Edit” on a reply I get a page with no content.

Here is the code I am using in my main template to make the BBPress items show up:

				<?php if (is_bbpress()) : ?>
				<section id="content" class="grid-block"><h3 class="page-subtitle"><?php echo $this['config']->get('Subtitle'); ?></h3>
				<?php 
				if(!is_user_logged_in())
				{
				    echo do_shortcode("[bbp-login]"); 
				} else {
				echo 'bbpress page';
				$forum_id = get_the_ID();

				if( get_post_type( $forum_id ) == 'page')
				{
					echo do_shortcode("[bbp-forum-index]");
				}
				echo do_shortcode("[bbp-single-forum id=" . $forum_id . "]"); 
				echo do_shortcode("[bbp-single-topic id=" . $forum_id . "]"); 
		
				}
				?>

I can’t find a shortcode for the reply edit form. How can I made the reply edit form appear on a page?

Also none of the forms worked until I added this to the functions.php:

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
    return 'http://localhost:8088/mySite/' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

I am using a woo-theme with their warp system, I think it does not work well with bbpress.

Please, how can I made the edit form appear? There appears to be no shortcode for that.

Shortcodes Ultimate API overview

I would like to implement this for all those boring long quotes, and quote inside quote, inside quote, etc…
It would make reading forum topics much more pleasant.

One click and long quote opens at whole. There is scroll if you dont want to click.
I managed this easy with CSS3 and transitions, but there is very nasty problem on mouse out and page jumping, confusing to know where on page you are after this.

[Robin W]

Is there something that I’m missing?

possibly.

but the rest of the codes don’t work.

This again isn’t really helpful. What do you mean by ‘don’t work’ – nothing shows? something shows but it is not what you want? a picture would be useful.

I cannot help unless I get detailed problems 🙂

[DevilWoIf]

Sorry. I mean, I tried the shortcodes in my page but the forums aren’t separating the way I need them to like in my picture. The codes dont seem to work… I added the stat code that shows how many users and that works but the rest of the codes don’t work.

I put the correct forum ID and everything and they weren’t showing. Is there something that I’m missing?

[Robin W]

I know nothing about visual composer, but a quick google produces

http://codecanyon.net/item/bbpress-shortcodes-for-visual-composer/9073637

which suggests that standard shortcodes don’t work?

[Robin W]

my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

has a code

[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’] Displays the selected forum indexes

which lets you organise the order of forums

[peter-hamilton]

I had no knowledge of PHP when I started a few months ago and made it by cutting and pasting, copying and changing plugin codes, lot of topicsand tutorials read and many sleepless nights.

Deffo a lot of work but I hope it is paying off.

I have a dummy account for people who want to see members only functions like a “like” system and lots of profile functions

username : demo
password : demo

Now working on @media queries so it is easier to use on mobiles

[Touda]

After having installed, configured and started some forums and subforums with the initial threads (topics), suddenly I found some issues, maybe related with some new plugins I’ve been installing on the same site:
– Forums URLs give 404 errors
– Topics URLs are found OK
– No reply is possible to those topics even when logged as Admin (Keymaster). BBPress shows this error:

ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.

ERROR: This forum is private and you do not have the capability to read or create new replies in it.

When testing shortcodes on a test page it gives the following results:

[bbp-forum-index] -> No forum is listed

[bbp-single-forum id=6] -> Forum is shown with its topics

[bbp-topic-index] -> Topics are listed OK

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Robin W]

If I needed to control when the replies are asc or desc, what would you recommend? I’m using a custom post type; could I just add a meta box that calls the change_reply_order if checked for desc?

No you really woul;d need to use filters. These work with some shortcodes.

Where they don’t, you’d need to create a new shortcode, but if you need that come back with which and I’ll work on that.
