Hi Guys,

I cannot find on which file I can edit these codes ?

The avatar on the left of the message :

And the mini avatar below the date of the freshness

Thanks in advance

ok, you have several routes to go

If you think you will be making other changes, then it may be worth you reading this

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

but if you just want to get this going then download this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

and then put this code into it

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
color: blue !important ;
}

a:link {
color: blue !important ;
}

Obviously you can change the blue to whatever, or use hex codes to get any shade you like

Come back if that doesn’t work, and I’ll try to help further

I tried here… bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php

though I entered ‘smallest’ => 11, and ‘largest’ => 20,

the font size only show 11 on all – same size. Did I do something wrong? I thought it would randomly display 11 to 20?

[Robin W]

I’ve had a look, but I can’t find what is doing this – must be buried deep

If you keep toggling the | comes back, so my original code isn’t doing anything.

The codes resolves as

<span id=”subscription-toggle”>
|
<span id=”subscribe-2072″>
Click to receive an email notification when a member responds below

so it’s in the subscription part, but not part of the url.

‘Sorry still newbie to all these codes thing 🙂 ‘ – Don’t worry I was there only last year, you’ll soon pick it up.

Start with

https://codex.wordpress.org/Functions_File_Explained

So you need to add this to your theme’s function file.

If you are using a main theme, then any updates to the theme may overwrite your addutions, so a child theme is better. However if you put it in your main theme, just keep a note of the changes so that you can add them back if needbe.

Ideally you should create a child theme – google ‘child theme videos’ and you’ll see how to create this – it is very simple, and just lets you ‘add stuff’ to your main theme without any risk of losing it.

Have fun !

[batmanfan]

Oh. Where do I place this code. Sorry still newbie to all these codes thing 🙂

[nirgalo]

Hey, I want to set up the same kind of design bbpress support forum has for my site’s forum:
– main page with latest topics (and page navigation), and forums as widgets on the left pane
– when opening a forum : page with forum topics and forum info as widget on the left pane
– topic page: topic as page and Topic info as widget

How can I do that? Shortcodes do not seem to be enough. Like [bbp-topic-index] is only displaying the last 15 topics.

[Daniel J. Lewis]

I would love to see this accept shortcodes, too. And it looks like I’m not the only one.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, the issue is fixed and will be released as part of WordPress 3.9 on 16th April.

If you want to implement the fix yourself without waiting those 13 days you can grab the code from here and it it to your Twenty Fourteen themes style.css.

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/27587

EDIT: With or without the shortcodes it only works with the above patch.

[smoker450]

Hi there, I was reading this ticket (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2504)
It appears as though this issue has been addressed, and they say that the forum should be visible when using shortcodes, but it is not working for me.

I am using [bbp-forum-index] on a page, and that page is not visible on mobile, but the other pages of the forum are that are not using shortcodes.
Any help would be appreciated.

here is the page using shortcodes, (http://motocrossnw.net/forum/) you can just drag the corner of your browser and make the window small to replicate the issue.

[Piani]

Tnx for the tips. I will play around with those shortcodes 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

In that case create a page and use the single forum shortcode multiple times.

<h3>Index 1</h3>
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
<h3>Index 2</h3>
[bbp-single-forum id=2]
<h3>Index 3</h3>
[bbp-single-forum id=3]

Let’s try it here with code and codes

Here is the tag code : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/code/ <-That works perfectly
Here is the tag codes : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/code/ <-That works perfectly
Here is the search code : https://bbpress.org/forums/search/code/ <-That works perfectly
Here is the search codes : https://bbpress.org/forums/search/codes/ <-That works perfectly

is there a way to set up so all the tags appear on a page? e.g. Tags Page? Thanks.

You would need to start modifying your bbPress templates, have a read of some of the docs on the codex that @Robin-W has pointed out to you already.

[Stephen Edgar]

Finally I’ve written a small script to migrate kunena attachments to GD bbPress attachments

@cybnet Awesome thanks for this, I added it to the (still sparse) Kunena docs here.

I’ll take a closer look when I get the chance and see what ideas I can come up with. I was at a WordPress Meetup a couple of months ago that demoed a few different ways to move media from one install to another that once time permits I’d love to take a shot at including it in our importer.

Now I’d like to write a script to convert kunena BBCode into bbPress HTML because there are some bbcodes not converted.

This I can most definitely help out with now.

The SMF and phpBB importers both have some good examples of converting BBCode to ‘native’ bbPress (WordPress) code. I am simply use regular expressions to convert them on the fly as each topic or reply is converted.

eg. This Replaces [size=$1:XXXXXXXX] with <span style="font-size:$1%;">$3</span>

$phpbb_uid = preg_replace( '/\[size=(.*?):(.*?)\]/', '<span style="font-size:$1%;">', $phpbb_uid );

You can see the SMF regex here and the phpBB here. There are probably quite a few that we can repurpose and if not make up a list for me and I’ll work towards getting them added to the Kunena importers in a future release.

[batmanfan]

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.

[Robin W]

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.

[kvr28]

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

[Robin W]

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.

[yoshimitsu1234]

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?

[RitaJoC]

Thanks! I didn’t realize my question was answered. So, are you sure adding these codes won’t break the site? Thanks, again.

[Stephen Edgar]

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?

[Robmcclel]

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

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.

[Robin W]

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
