@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.

@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

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]

additional information, i use these plugins:
– akismet

– simple local avatars

– 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.

[mag07]

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.

[coskel22]

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 !

[bgigibb]

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.
