I’ve created a topic with ‘tags’ e.g. tags: codes, code.
But when try searching for the tags: ‘code’ or ‘codes’ it’s not showing up! How to make it show up on ‘search’? also, is there a way to set up so all the tags appear on a page? e.g. Tags Page? Thanks.
Yes (at least it was in my case) – unless the old system used the same password system, then the encrypted password is alien to WP, so unless it just believes that all users are genuine, then it has to reject users.
Password lost works as a good mechanism as it sends email to user, so confirms identity.
I just created a page in my menu headed “old forum users” and put a message in there that they wuld need their password reset for security reasons, and to click lost password. I then used the [bbp-login] and [bbp-lost-pass] shortcodes to display that on screen under the message.
check threads where you posted videos, if you used the embed codes, it will just show up blank, I noticed on some threads the original post was wrong, I’m getting some errors in my log whenever someone makes a post, I’m trying to work through that now
you can see my forum here
Forums
you can keep the same tiered set up you you have now, just go under forums for bbpress, create a forum say cannabis cultivation and set it as a category under types in forum attributes, then take your soils, outdoor grows etc and set category as a parent, enter your orders for the forums to have the correct order displayed,
that’s the biggest things I can think of right now
what shortcodes?
what software versions of bbpress, buddypress and wordpress are you running?
what theme?
what plugins are you running?
url of your site?
when do you get 404 – logged in, not logged in?
etc.
We would love to help you, but give us a fighting chance of working out what is wrong by giving us some details 🙂
Come back and we’ll do our best to hep you !
Finally I’ve written a small script to migrate kunena attachments to GD bbPress attachments. It is in a very early stage, any help are really wellcome. You must run the script as standalone and only after the kunena migration has been performend using the importer distributed with bbPress.
Now I’d like to write a script to convert kunena BBCode into bbPress HTML because there are some bbcodes not converted.
I have added shortcodes to few pages on my site wit both bbpress and buddypress installed but i am getting 404 error on those pages. Is there any way to resolve this issue?
Thanks! I didn’t realize my question was answered. So, are you sure adding these codes won’t break the site? Thanks, again.
Nothing in particular except to say that if Phorum has weird/custom BBCode that they won’t be converted standard BBCodes like [b], [url], [img] etc will be converted.
Also I don’t think the passwords will be converted so it is just a matter of the user requesting a password reset to get up and running after the conversion.
I’d also suggest you do this on a test server (local or remote) to get used to the process before you try this on your live server, that way any bugs issues etc will be sorted out first.
Are you talking thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of posts?
Robin,
Thanks for getting back to me, I’m sorry I was less clear.
The WP page is real and live, and it does work. The issue is, the Index page is still there — I can’t seem to replace it with the WP Page. Breadcrumbs become meaningless, as the forum source will be the Index Page not the WP Page.
The shortcodes allow me to organize the forums but still keep the sub (Genre) and sub-sub (subgenre) forums visible. For example, the “Mysteries, Suspense, Thrillers” genre has the sub-genre “Detectives”. On the WP/Shortcode page you can see that. On the Index Page you can’t.
To change the Index Page takes considerable effort, if it can even be done at all (we have yet to be able to do so, though we can make it better looking). The WP/Shortcode Page, however, is exactly how we want it. The problem is that page competes and cross-connects to the Index Page.
I want to get rid of the Index Page — for real, or for practical purpsoes — so that it is never seen, linked to, or interacted with by a user. Period. ever.
Failing the ability to remove the Index Page from the equation, I would like to modify it so that it looks and acts very similar to the set-up the WP/Shortcode Page provides.
Bottom Line: I want the various descriptions, genres, and subgenres visible to the user from the main forum page they would see and interact with, without any confusion or conflict by any other page or index.
There we go, that indeed will be the issue.
Essentially after the forum hierarchy is calculated it starts importing the topics (though that’s the last message you see)
We use a custom ‘bbcode’ parser to convert the imported forums BBCodes eg. [url], [b], [img] etc.
So if you are using a plugin that is doing something with BBCodes it’s a high probability that that is the conflict.
Disable said plugin and you should be good to go and/or if you don’t know which plugin it is disable them all, do your import, then enable your plugins again.
Ok, so if I understand you problem correctly, what you’d like is the main forum page to show is
1.
Category
Forum
Subforum
forum
subforum
The subforums are not currently showing?
and
2. for each to have a description?
you are trying to achieve this by using a wordpress page and shortcodes.
What confuses me is that you give a link to the page you want to use – if this is a real page, then what is preventing you form using it?
Sorry if I’m not understanding you correctly
My objective is to not use the standard forum root index page that is auto-created and instead use a WordPress page with forum shortcodes.
The auto-generated forum root page is here: http://thirdscribe.com/cafe
and I would much rather use this page here: http://thirdscribe.com/cafe-forums
I have not had any success in customizing my root from the settings panel where it says: “Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”
Failing the ability to use the WP page with shortcodes, I would like for the sub-sub forums to be shown, as well as the text descriptions for everything, in the root index. This forum supports a book network, and to have the subgenres showing under the genres is pretty important. Again, I would prefer to just use the page generated using the shortcodes, but I’ll accept just getting the subgenres and descriptions to show.
This is my first time using bbPress — I like it and like the back end administration, but I REALLY need to be able to show more information on this forum page.
I am running WP 3.8.1, Buddypress 1.9.2, and bbPress 2.5.3
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
I’ve created a series of Forums on this site:
http://xxxxxxxx.ca
They are located here at http://xxxxxx.ca
I used a series of shortcodes so I could customize the pages…
I seem to be running into a problem of “now you see them now you dont” when topics or replies are posted.. almost as if the short codes cant hold the link to the topics and replies.. yet the one main topic I “stuck” to the top and closed as an admin always remains.
If you register for the forums, everythings fine… if you post, it seems to be fine.. but go back later.. and its gone. I cant make any sense out of this. It all seems very buggy… I’m suspicious of a conflict in there somewhere, sometimes the wp menu bar shows.. and I can see the posts.. sometimes.. even though Im logged in it disappears.. but is there to touch.. and I can still see the posts.. sometimes its gone completetly and bbpress thinks I logged out completely, then I can see nothing.. grrrrrrr
The short of it.. these forums arent working right… very frustrating and somehow I need to fix it. I cant just start disabling things without affecting the whole site.
Any sugestions?
With the disappearing toolbar over top.. I suspect a conflict.
I currently run WP 3.8.1
I also use BBPress 2.5.3, BBPress reCapctha 1.1, mailchimp for wordpress lite 1.5.7, W3 Total Cache 0.9.3, WP SEO 1.5.2.2
Im lost.. about to go into the long haul of troubleshooting but any suggestions would be helpful.. I am by no means an expert in these forums, these are the first I have ever built.
Bump – because this is the first Google Search result on bbPress slowing down sites.
Everything I read about bbPress said it’s light weight and integrates well into WordPress. Integration was excellent, but the website speed suffered significantly. I finally had to uninstall it and will need to look for a lighter weight forum plugin.
Click here to see a screen shot of the P3 Plug-in profiler results.
bbPress was responsible for half the load time of all active plugins (bbPress was a fresh install – with no forum activity). I had 24 plugins running total which means bbPress was taking longer to load than 23 other plugins combined. With results like that, there has to be a way to make bbPress more efficient either through caching or making bbPress more efficient when it searches for its short codes (which I believe is why bbPress loads on every page).
I’ve seen this concern on a few forums and really want to see bbPress be successful. If anyone has had success speeding up bbPress or believes my experience was an anomaly, please let us know. Thank you.
Website – WordPress 3.8.1 Multisite, BuddyPress 1.9.2., bbPress 2.5.3

To get the required numerical ID for $forum_id, $topic_id, $reply_id and $tag_id you will need to visit your /wp-admin/ section and either by editing the post or by hovering your mouse over the applicable forum/topic/reply/tag post type you will see a numeric ID for that post eg. /wp-admin/post.php?post=47
Thank you Stephen,
I got the page to work now with the shortcodes, BUT the shortcodes don’t seem to be displaying what the description says they should be displaying. Backup first…. Here is what we am trying to do with BBPress: We are trying to create forums under specific categories. Sounds easy. We placed all forums under specific categories but this wasn’t quite displaying as we needed them to all on one page. We need them to display like this forum here: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/
SO back to the shortcode problem. We cant get any of these forums to display a single forum. The shortcodes are displaying ALL forums no matter if we use single forums shortcodes or not.
Shouldnt the below shortcodes display these five forum ids only and not ALL forums five times just with a reply form for the associated ID at the bottom?
[bbp-single-forum id=239]
[bbp-single-forum id=238]
[bbp-single-forum id=237]
[bbp-single-forum id=236]
[bbp-single-forum id=235]
Basically we are trying to split up these forums manually with the shortcodes just by displaying what forums we want (and we could separate them with a text box showing the category or something). So the question is, “What is the shortcode for only displaying one forum without a reply form”. This way we can input all forums and organize them how we wish. Make sense? Please help. 🙂
Having issue with our site pages and BBPress. We are using WP 3.8.1 and the latest version of BB Press.

We want to customize our BB Press page (title, maybe input a button or two… who knows) BUT there is no actual BB Press page to customize? The forum seems to be automatically created upon install. Normally we can edit any page by selecting “edit page” at the top of the screen and in this case, there is no edit page button because the page doesn’t exist.
Following? So the logical next step is to create the page right? Well… when we go to the backend of WP in the admin dashboard -> Settings -> Forums -> we read (about halfway down this page) this text:
“Forum Root Slug – Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”
So we created a WP Page named forums. (http://www.fretbuzz.com/forums/) If this page is created then the forums appear until we edit anything. We cant select any option or input any text or the forums do not appear. So we deleted the page and the forums appear again. Then we created a separate WP page and labeled it test (http://www.fretbuzz.com/test/) and then moved the forum root slug to it, the forums again appear but If we again try to put any button shortcode or text or whatever in the page then nothing appears. So this begs the question…. What are the shortcodes BB Press talks about in the settings panel? How do we customize our BB Press Forums page?
End goal = Create an actual page that hold the forum roots on which we can add a button or two (with maybe some text). With an actual page as the root slug, I have access to turn on or off options as well such as “ratings” and “Author Bio”, which is quite annoying on the forums currently.
Our theme (DynamiX) has almost 9000 support members and this is what one of the support moderators said:
“Hi Tad,
I am not sure if this feature works correctly as I have tested it with DynamiX and the standard WP theme and they both have the same results. It must be a feature of BBPress that does not work properly.
Tom”
This cannot be so…. Any suggestions. Any help is highly coveted. 🙂
I want to place it on the homepage.
I’m using Sahifa, in its homepage builder, you can have custom contents of html, scripts, and shortcodes.
how can i show letest thred (only last one) on my home page template. http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ i tried all this short cods in this page but nothing worked.
Hello!
I’m having an issue with bbPress 2.5.3, Slider Revolution 4.0.5, and Woocommerce 2.1.2. I contacted Slider Revolution, and they said they couldn’t figure out the issue and that I should contact my theme creator since their plugin came bundled with my theme, but the theme creator says it isn’t a theme issue, so I’m reaching out to bbPress since the Woocommerce help desk is down for the weekend in hopes I can at least get a leg up – even though it’s a pretty weird triple-plugin conflict.
1. When all plugins are activated, layer styles in Revolution Slider’s slide editor show a tiny white font in all the previews, but only generate default dark text.
2. When all plugins are activated, I cannot add a slider to a page where bbPress forums are active – it just doesn’t appear, even when I have disabled the theme’s default header, or tried to insert it via shortcodes or php. (Any other page and the slider loads fine)
3. When I deactivate bbPress and its associated plugins, the slider loads correctly because there is no forum on the page.
4. When bbPress and Woocommerce are both deactivated, everything works as it is supposed to in the editor as well.
Existing sliders on the website still load correctly – it’s just an issue of making new ones with a forum on the same page, and getting the editor to work. bbPress prevents a slider created in the Slider Revolution plugin from being published on a page with a forum, and Woocommerce messes up the editor.
Any help or ideas are appreciated. I’ve tried the troubleshooting options in the plugins and nothing seems to fix the issue. Thanks!
Just thought I’d reply to przwilson:
I had the same problem and spent an entire day looking for the code. But I just found it.
IT’s at bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php
Around line 522 for me you’ll see the “largest” and “smallest” stuff. Edit it there and your problem is fixed. All you need to do is change the numbers.
Cheers.
Hi,
Here is what I see using codestyling localisation :
Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.
Thanks.
I thought that’s what it did in default mode.
If you are using shortcodes, then you have options
[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=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.
Otherwise come back with a url where this isn’t happening
you can use the following shortcodes in a page or post
[bbp-topic-form]
Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]
Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.
