Thank you for taking the time to reply. Was away for a couple of days.

Anyhow, the same topic in the smf install is here: http://frostmourne.co.uk/index.php?topic=16.0 – you should be able to view page source.

It’s just using bbcodes for formatting, not sure how SMF handles this from the backend.

Thanks again, appreciate your help 🙂

My bbPress codes have many other plugins mixed with it, so I can not make these changes.

I want to modify only these three items photo already do one weeks and I can not. =(

I give you my username and password, you can get into my wp-admin to do these three changes? Please.

[Robkk]

you would have to edit and copy files from one to the other.

since its bbpress its mostly going to require copying the template files and bbpress.css , but i am not sure if your going to going to need a function for bbpress in the function.php in the theme or many more codes.

This could be really risky if you dont know what you are doing.

I recommend working on a local development area. WAMP for Windows , MAMP for Mac , LAMP for linux , and XAMP for all.

Help on this is really minimal on my side. Its more something you have to do yourself.

But if you do need help transferring i might come up with something.

Other than that it might be an answer of i dont have the time to this kind of thing right now.

I am trying to help users and want to use the code backticks to display the BBCodes they need to use.

It won’t display the actual code, it renders the code out instead when placed in backticks using the code/code buttons.

Using a default theme, WP 4.0 and 2.5.4 bbpress

[Brandon Allen]

What plugins are you running? Sounds like something else (plugin/theme) may be incorrectly filtering the content and or shortcodes and is causing a conflict.

[Brandon Allen]

It’s both. bbPress is setup to automagically create the /forums page out of thin air. If you’d like to add some other text to this page, you may do that as well. If you do create an actual forums page, as it seems you have, all that’s needed is to add the forums shortcode where ever you’d like the forum index to appear. In this case, just add [bbp-forum-index]. There are a number of other shortcodes that can be used for similar purposes that can be found here https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/.

[yfnne]

I wish to merely change the color of my website and the font sizes.

Thank you.

I need to have the bbpress codes so I can search for them in my code and easily alter them. I have spent hours so far searching, in vain

Hi !

Using the Plugin Shortcodes Ultimate I have created tabs in my WordPress Install.

Anyway I can do the same in bbPress ?

As an example please see :

Songs to Ponder Over

the starting post has tabs and was made in WordPress.

The replies are coming from the bbPress side and I’d like to make similar tabs in the same…

Shortcodes Ultimate plugin doesn’t seem to be working in bbPress.

All advise / Workabouts much appreciated. thanks !

Can anyone help me in changing the size of the login button on the bbpress login widget. I must of tried over 20-30 different css codes, clearing cache and logging in and out and no matter what I do I cannot change the size of the login button.

I applied this code to change the size of the submit button

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: ##a0668d;
color: #000000;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

but I cannot locate the login button that is coming through the widget, even after inspecting with firebug and trying for the past 2 days.

[SandyRig]

This does not work in the shortcodes. For example when I show a topic on a page using the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=134]. I see the posts in descending order in the forum, but on the page its in Ascending order.

Not sure whats going on, please help any one.

[Stephen Edgar]

Maybe the site that works has a custom bbpress.php wrapper template or it is using a page with bbPress shortcodes, either or it’ll just take a bit more comparing the differences between the two.

[Robkk]

i would create a page and put the forum archive shortcode and the single topic shortcode to display both with no problems.

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

There is probably another way , but this is the first i thought of.

[Robkk]

no i dont want to do that , its harder for me to design the look of the widget.

here let me explain a little bit more on why i want to hack your shortcodes plugin to show recent replies.

well first i want my recent replies (and also recent topics) to look sort of like any recent comments widget. im going to use jetpacks recent comments on their website as an example.

I have already pretty much made a copy of your shortcode plugin , edited it and threw it in my functions.php and put the shortcode in the visual editor widget by blackstudio

heres what it looks like vs the default recent topics widget.

now to make a replies widget with your shortcode all i have to do is rearrange code and use css to style everything together.

to make it look like its showing recent replies, i just show the latest reply authors avatar , their name and what topic they replied on and im done.

The only problem when doing this is if there is no replies on a topic , it would just show the topic author instead.

Plus if you can figure this out i can also make a hack to make a replies archive. Which would be cool for something else i might do and ILL share it all when im done.

i just need help on only showing topics with replies instead of all topics. if that is possible.

[Stephen Edgar]

Don’t use bbPress login widgets or shortcodes then, use whatever is supplying that form instead, essentially we are all just piggy backing the standard WordPress login form.

[rust12]

I have used the bbpress shortcodes and widgets, but i can only display the login credential, but not the register and not the lost password.

i understand the steps are
1. to show the register and lost password page, i need to create a new web page, and then put the bbpress shortcodes. I already did that.
2. to show the login credential (user and pass), i use the widget. When installing the widget, it will ask for the url for the register and lost password page. i provided the url in the widget. Widget shows successfully.

But when i click the register and lost password link in the widget, it only show me the new webpage with the shortcode [bbp-register], [bbp-lost-pass], that’s all i see in my new web page.

Please let me know what i do wrong.

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress is a WordPress plugin thus bbPress uses WordPress for it’s users.

You can use bbPress shortcodes or widgets depending on your site structure so uses do not need to go near or even see the backend of WordPress:

In fact took a look today and done !

bbp additional shortcodes

You now have a template of ‘short’ which just does the titles and topics, no search or other stuff.

see the web for full details on how to do this, but for example

[bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum=’29’ template=’short’ ]

[Robin W]

just updated this to do a particular forum as well !

I’ve just recut my topics shortcode to allow you to do just that

[David Anderson]

I recently installed bbPress 2.5.4, and imported a load of data from a Mingle Forum install.

All seemed to be going well…

Unfortunately, sometimes when forum pages (pages under the /forums/ hierarchy) are loaded, there is the content; sometimes they are blank.

It’s not a PHP fatal error, or out-of-memory: no PHP errors are logged, and the HTML delivered is complete right down to the closing /html; it’s just that the section where there should be bbPress content is empty.

I’ve tried setting up pages that use shortcodes to display the forums instead – and these pages *always* work. It’s the pages that are going through the permalink structure which sometimes work, sometimes don’t.

There’s no apparent pattern I can discern in when it works and does not. I just hit “reload” lots of times – and sometimes it works, and sometimes doesn’t. The only pattern is that when it flips from not working to working, or vice-versa, then it tends to stay that way for a few reloads – across browsers too.

I’ve tried re-saving my permalink structure, several times – this makes no difference. I put an mu-plugin which always called flush_rewrite_rules() on every page load; no difference.

Example URL: http://updraftplus.com/forums/topic/updraft-migration-issue/ – try reloading a few times, and/or waiting a few minutes, and see the result change.

Example of things not working: http://snag.gy/Sr9eX.jpg … so, I hit reload a few times, and then it works: http://snag.gy/BzTAA.jpg

Also: my /forums/ page has other text at the top (i.e. text entered in the textarea when editing the page in the WP dashboard). When not working, none of that text is displayed either – i.e. not just the forum index is missing, but everything.

Currently, the HTTP server is set up to redirect requests to /forums/ and to the forum index so that they go to pages which use shortcodes. But, the topic links are always linked by the resulting output into the sometimes-works, sometimes-doesn’t permalink structure.

Anyone got any ideas? Theme: Pagelines. WP Super Cache is installed, but there is no cacheing of /forums/ or anything beneath (confirmed that this is working by searching in wp-content/cache/).

Many thanks,
David

@dreamwork

I have a plugin that does xx topics

bbp additional shortcodes

if that is what you are after

[giuseppe23]

Peter thankyou but I tried like this and I just did again with yours now but didn’t change anything
I did this one wich worked fine:

.bbp-breadcrumb {
	color: #fff;
}

Code above changed the color to white but codes below didnt change anything.

.bbp-breadcrumb p a {color: #fff;}
.bbp-breadcrumb-home {color: #fff;}
.bbp-breadcrumb-current {color: #fff;}

I have a black background of my wordpress site and site color is white for blog but for bbpress I changed only the header and footer background colors and used the code below

#bbpress-forums a{
	color: #000;
}
#bbpress-forums {
	color: #000;
}

So I did this because bbp-topic has white background and in this case the links became #000 as site background but the breadcrumbs are on the top where the background is black too and I need to change the breadcrumb link color to white …

[Jerry]

Hi Robin. Sorry for the delayed response. It worked! Thanks for the simple fix. Now we know that shortcodes can take two inputs. If you need any of my code for use in a plugin, let me know. Though I have done things that are unique to my website, so they may not be as useful.

We can close this thread now.

Hi guys, I’m pretty new(bie) on WordPress, hope some1 could help me.

I’ve created a little test site here: http://www.elite-force.it/test

Then, I’ve installed bbpress and I’ve created menu entries with those magical-fantastic short codes.

Everything seems going fine, of course it will need some CSS adjustment but I don’t panic on that… else way I panic because I can’t reach profile page…

My forum is: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forum/
And profile for my user should be: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forums/user/goose/

When I go to my profile page, something strange happen… It seems that bbpress use my homepage php to build the page.. of course result in a home-similar, with a “THESE POSTS ARE BY: ” on top and any other infos…

I read that bbpress look for page.php if there is no bbpress.php on theme root folder, but if I also create a copy of my page.php or post.php doesn’t fix the problem.

Is because that template uses dynamic pages? there is no solution? I mean, There is no way to override bbpress page settings and make a different view for the profile page?

Please… help those noob

[Robin W]

sorry, but very long and quite confusing questions.

you url would be very helpful so that we can see what your issues are.

on # 1 – where are you seeing these? – on shortcodes, widgets or where. Please describe current process, and what you would like to happen.

on #2 – need a url so that we can see
