I’m sorry, I resolved.

I copied and pasted the shortcode from this link.

Well, I copied the teletype tag too!

Thanks!

Hi folks. Saw this page, https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vbulletin/

It hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Just wondering if there are any improvements made to this tool?

Some of my concerns are these listed:

1. Custom vBulletin BBCodes are not supported eg. [youtube] – You will have to manually change these yourself either before importing in vBulletin or after importing into bbPress using phpMyAdmin.

2. All ‘Ordered Lists’

will be displayed as numerical lists.

3. You may find extra page breaks <br> and paragraph <p> elements in topics and replies and is less than ideal and is from the way the BBCodes are converted during the forum import conversion. You will find these primarily around ‘blockquotes’ and ‘lists’

In regards to

#1 If I create the exact bbocodes in BBPress prior to the import, I assume this would rectify this area correct?

#2 This is definitely not good. I’m hoping someone knows a trick around this.
#3 Same as above.

[webUI1]

My domain is:
forum.mydomain.com

I have set an static page as Front Page Displays with following short-codes:

Some Welcome text….
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

Also I have set an URL to restrict users to redirect if they are not logged in (Under plugin: bbP Members Only).

Now I am facing following issue:
1. If someone visits forum.mydomain.com first time by entering the URL: forum.mydomain.com, yet they are not redirected to page specified under plugin bbP Members Only
Infect they get following info:

Some Welcome text….
You do not have permission to view this.
You do not have permission to view this.

So they should have redirected to page specified under plugin bbP Members Only. Although if I click on sidebar forums list then they are redirected.

This can be solved out by:
Either redirect to page specified.
Or, this text “You do not have permission to view this.” must display only once.

Please help guys to fix me.

Thanks.

there is no [bbp-activate] shortcode

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

what are you trying to do?

[rock17]

What’s the best way to go about adding a custom page under the bbPress directory (/forums)?

I’ve created a new page in WordPress that uses bbPress shortcodes. I’d like the URL to remain under ‘/forums’ like ‘/forums/new-page’. WordPress automatically converts the directory to /forumsnew-page (due to a conflict with bbPress using /forums)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

bbp additional shortcodes

[webUI1]

Thanks Robin for your reply.

I am giving 2 short codes on main page:

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

By doing so, there are two search box display just above of Forum block, and Topic Block. Which is not correct, on same page two search boxes.
How can we fix it?

Cheers 🙂

[Robin W]

either :

shortcode [bbp-topic-index]

or

bbp additional shortcodes

Hi Robin

Sorry for disappearing on this. I was so busy with the rest of the site, I had to leave the forum to one side.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions above. I tried them out and have unfortunately hit a couple of snags

1) I’m finding that once I login using the BBP login form, I’m left with a blue box that says ‘You are already logged in’. Is it possible to make this disappear, once logged in. Or if not, have you redirected to a different page once successfully logged in?

2) Is it possible to say exactly where in the menu the ‘Edit Profile’ goes? I would prefer it not to be a top level menu item and to go into the dropdown menu instead

3) Is the intention that I put the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode underneath the [BBP-login] shortcode? I want people to be taken straight to the forum once they have succesfully logged in. At the moment when I put those two shortcodes on a page together, I am getting a php error along the lines of

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by...

I think this might be to do with me using the Genesis framework?

I have alreday installed the Genesis Extend BBpress plugin

@atfpodcast
i just checked on my side with the latest raindrops theme ,

i checked to see if all of the quicktag buttons worked
they did.

i checked if some of the bbcodes from gdbbpress and bbpress2 bbcode didnt just process the bbcode out well
they did.

i didnt run bbpress2 bbcode with bbpress direct quotes while gdbbpress tools activated at the same time, because i mean they do the same thing.

if you feel like the quicktags toolbar is really causing the problem and you have some error logs to post or images of error logs or any other info you can get while debugging is on, make a new topic with all the information in it.

bbPress forums play an important part in an outdoor recreation club site I administer. Members make heavy use of notification emails to be informed of changes in scheduled events.

Html entities in notification emails annoy the members. The members are non-technical. They don’t understand why characters such as & ‘ and – are replaced with strange codes in email.

The fix is trivial, apply html_entity_decode() to the subject and message body before sending. I don’t see any security risk in this. (Someone please let me know if there is a risk; I’m using this fix on the site.)

Can this be added to bbPress?

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast yeah thats what people usually say there.

try just switching to bbpress bbcode with the whitelist plugin

and also bbpress direct quotes.

the bbcode plugin just turns basic html into shortcodes , so its still fine even though it is 2 years old.

but remember to use it with the whitelist plugin too so that other users cant post the bbpress login shortcode and other unwanted shortcodes you dont want in bbpress posts/wordpress comments/buddypress activity/buddypress private messages.

bbpress direct quotes wont quote as fast as gd bbpress tools quotes but it still works fine too.

[Robkk]

@johnohfs oh , well the grey bars are actually the li.bbp-header and li.bbp-footer that hold the labels

here are what css codes are causing the problem.

changing display:inline; to display:block; should fix the problem for you.

#main li {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 14px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 5%;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 769px)
#main li {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 12%;
}

i think putting .bbpress if you already created a bbpress.php file or #bbpress-forums before #main li { should fix the problem, so that only on bbpress pages would have a different css for the #main li

[Robin W]

you can just show the latest topics as a list by using

http://www.mysite.com/topics

say as a menu item or make this your home page.

alternately you can post the latest xx topics using

bbp additional shortcodes

[Robkk]

use robins plugin.

bbp additional shortcodes

remember to read on how to use the plugin on that page too.

[mnhfile]

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ I past the codes to bbpress.css and child theme css … nothing happens … I alter the codes and add another one with !important tag but all in vain…

One more question bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes how to install these themes only in bbpress forums. please give me some illustration ..
I try a lot of methods like
-copy bb theme files to child main theme directory
-rename bb theme style.css to bbpress.css and paste to child theme directory ..I past in main folder as well as in css folder of child theme..

I shall be thankful to you if you help me in installing premade custom layouts of bbpress theme

[Robin W]

my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

creates that list

either use the plugin, or crack the code open to see what parameters I set

[Robin W]

closest you’ll get is my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

If you can do some coding, you should be able to refine this further to your needs

[atfpodcast]

I want to change the color background for the table where it says Forums, Topics , Replies and Freshness. i don’t know css or php I am using dreamweaver to try to figure out these short color codes. This is what I want to do: (photoshop was used to create the effect)

Like how the new ui plugin for bbpress does it but my color scheme. I just cant find the table

[jessy]

If your theme support this shortcode on posts and pages we can assume your shortcode is working fine, but bbPress is for security reasons blocking.

Place this code into functions.php

function jm_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
	return video( $content );
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'jm_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 'jm_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);

Let me know if you need help.

Hi all,

i’m totally not an IT guy, so i don’t know anything about coding. I learn to build website with WP by learning from internet.

this is my first time i use BBpress to build a forum website.

this is my web: http://www.buangstres.gratis/
i use WP version 4.0
i use theme Skeleton: http://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/

i use these plugins:
– akismet
– easy WP smtp
– simple local avatars
– simple shortcodes (reccomendation fro the theme)
– WP-members
– WP-pagenavi (reccomendation from theme)

i found that all my Child forums having problem: page not found

this is what i’ve already done:
– reset the permalinks
– deactivate all plugin (include bbpress), activate only bbpress

all isn’t working

need the solution desperately… anyone can help me? it will be a huge appreciation from me

[josuawahyudi]

– simple local avatars
– simple shortcodes (reccomendation fro the theme)
– WP-members
– WP-pagenavi (reccomendation from theme)

any suggestion for me? i need help desperately…

Hi

If you mean “3. Creating a forum page”, method 2, I tried that & was able to create this forum using the shortcode => [bbp-forum-index].

On the Forum settings page & “/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum” page, it seems this only deals with the forum supposed according to the bbpress default settings to appear at /forums, but consistently wont.

Does it mean all the forums & subforums have to be created using shortcodes (if so, any link where to find them?).

This problem is not being experienced on another site sharing the same web hosting account, and has a separate domain. In the root of this particular, problematic site is some web directory. I wonder whether its moved the site to?

I had a similar issue of consistent failure of accessing /recipes, generated by the recipepress reloaded plugin showing the recipe archive page, even with recommended default settings & permalinks, but just like the bbpress forum at /forums, it had the right url, but content of the site/blog front page. The plugin author, though said it was a bug in the plugin & changes in the code corrected the problem described here. Correct link now here.

Could there be anything in this root folder .htaccess of the web directory (unrelated to WordPress), which may be causing this & affecting the functioning of bbpress (& not other plugins like Buddypress & co) or WordPress proper & in directory.com/wordpress & even in wordpress.directory.com? I ma not conversant with .htaccess & co. 😉

So just wondering what to do next.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Kind regards

[janfeng]

There codes looks complicated. Can u tell me which capabilities is allow user close their’s topics. @_@

[galiulinr]

How to make a page conclusion shortcode bbp-single-forum using custom fields?
I created a custom field ‘idbbp’, found ID single topic.
On the page posted the following code:

<?php 
    $idbbp = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'idbbp', true);
    $forum_id = bbpress()->current_forum_id = $idbbp;
    echo( bbpress()->shortcodes->display_forum($forum_id));
?>

but it does not work for me. Tell me please what I did wrong.
