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 !

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.

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

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.

[hamncheez]

It works great with the shortcodes I used ([bbp-single-topic id=whatever]), not sure which shortcodes SandyRig used. 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?

[Robin W]

Let me know which shortcodes you are looking to use, and try the

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

first to see if it works

[EmilieMarie]

Hello,

It’s my first time on this forum…
This is my problem :
I don’t want to insert a Connection widget on a side bar.I’d rather like to use short codes.
I already know these following shortcodes :
[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.
But I’d like a shortcode to sign out. I didn’t find it. Does it exist ?
Thank you very much for your help…

[jeffacubed]

Thanks so much @korobochkin for sharing this in such detail! I’m going to test this out from start to finish on a 100% fresh bbPress, multi-site setup over the next few weeks. I’m thinking this is ‘finally’ a rock-solid sol’n to managing bbPress on multi-site, particularly in situations where the root site has no obvious visual/branding/etc relationship to the other sites on the network.

This sol’n looks very solid, much better than what I was previously doing with the Login With Ajax (lwa) plugin, wp-members (plugin) & hard-coded redirections (which while worked, seemed very ‘hacky’) & would not work with the [bbp_register] shortcodes, etc.

Thanks again Koyla!

the bbcodes one i think you can deactivate the message in gd bbpress tools settings.

go to the bbcodes section find BBCodes New Topic/Reply Notice and deactivate that.

the unrestricted HTML content message shows up for only keymasters so its not really worth messing with since you are the only one seeing it.

[Nekurahn]

These are two notices I get when I’m logged in and about to post on the forums.

Is there any way to remove them?

“You can use BBCodes to format your content.”

“Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.”

Thank you for your time!

[Robin W]

I’ve just added a shortcode to one of my plugins that lets you custom list forums

bbp additional shortcodes

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

[Robkk]

@nishant2hit

use this plugin instead and see if it works

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

[Robin W]

easiest way would be to uncode my shortcode

bbp additional shortcodes

or just use the do_shortcode function within your code

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

[se7en1216]

This page is currently written as just a simple WordPress page with several shortcodes as listed below:

General Discussions

[bbp-single-forum id=3926]

Guild Discussions

[bbp-single-forum id=3924]

Group Forums

[bbp-single-forum id=10169]

When changing the Settings to have /forums as the forum root page, it changes all of the above listed shortcodes visually to look like it was just duplicated over and over from the current /forums-root page. It loses all of the current forum IDs and they all turn into a general forum-index.

This is why I can’t just swap it in the Setting menu for the forums, and the reason I want the current Forum breadcrumb to direct to /forums and not /forums-root.

If you would like, take a look at the way it looks now, and I’ll switch it after so you can see what it is doing.

[Robin W]

I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you mean.

What shortcodes – where?

You will need to either provide examples or explain further.

Sorry, but I am trying to help you, but there are hundreds of ways to set up wordpress/bbpress so need clear issues to resolve eg it looks like this, it needs to look like this

[se7en1216]

If I change the page as you mentioned, all shortcodes for the http://forgebreaker.net/forums/ page are overwritten, and you end up with several copies of the forum-index shortcode instead.

[Robkk]

bbPress doesnt render shortcodes

you will need to use a plugin like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

Note: by default, only users with the ability to publish bbPress forums will have their short codes parsed. This can be changed by passing a different capability via the pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap filter.

so by this note keymasters/moderators for sure can post shortcodes.

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve added it to my shortcode plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

you will want :

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

You can see how to set this in

Dashboard>settings>shortcodes
