Hmmm… It should work… http://regexr.com?3621e

Can you find a post with either a [QUOTE] or [MENTION] BBCode to see if these have been converted to <blockquote> which will help work out if any of the BBCodes are being converted to HTML.

The site is now up and will be (i hope).

Thanks in advance.

Check the urls:
http://www.wpavenue.com/support/ &
http://www.wpavenue.com/forums/

Both have the same shortcode. But the results are different!

[Anand]

Yes, I know. That’s really a bad luck. I will update the thread whence the site will become online.

However here is a screenshot of the forum index. http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3991/fy0l.png

I also asked this question in StudioPress forums. (Earlier i thought the problem was with Genesis themes)

[Xevo]

Both pages turn up a 404 from hostgator.

Hello all,

I wonder how (& why) bbPress is rendering same shortcodes in different ways? Actually, I am unable to identify the problem.

Even after disabling all the plugins do not have any role in the broken forum.

You may take a look on
http://www.wpavenue.com/forums/ <–This one is broken and “forums” is forum’s base slug.
http://www.wpavenue.com/support/ <– This works fine

Both of the above urls are “page” having exactly the same code.

Other than the missing html structure (on the /forums, forums/topic-tag/docs/, /forums/users/example/) everything is fine.

The theme is working with twenty-ten. twenty-eleven and twenty-thirteen. But broken with Genesis 2.0 (with sample and custom child theme0) and hybrid themes.

Waiting for a reply!

Try accessing example.com/forums instead

Also to get the forums on your front page of WordPress setup a custom page and add a shortcode:

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

Hi,

I’m currently trying to use the shortcodes:
[bbp-register]
[bbp-login]

For some reasons, these plugins don’t appear on the bbpress forum pages but works perfectly fine on any other page.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Tony

You could create a page and call it “help”. Using the bbPress shortcodes you can show the forum index on that page.

You can change the slugs in the settings page (Settings>Forums). There you can change the base slug to “help”, so that all topics show up under /help instead of /forums.

Just make sure that you don’t get conflicts between your pages and the slugs.

[tinfoiler]

It just appeared when the plugin was activated and nowhere else. It doesnt seem to affect anything as the ad codes i have added are appearing in the forums and in the correct locations specified.

Edit: I dont know what this notification message means.

[yguvvala]

Hi Tecca,

That didnt work. changing this codes doesnt reflect any changes on my forums page. in my Godaddy account i am changing this under

webroot / wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css

if you think am editing wrong file please let me know.

[Tecca]

In your bbpress.css file, change the background of each of these:

.entry-title {
background: red;
}

#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background: yellow;
}

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background: green;
}

Just change those color names to hex codes to make them look a bit better.

Hello,
– bbPress Version : 2.3.2
– WordPress Version : 3.5.2
– PHP/MySQL Version : PHP 5.3/MySQL 5.1
– Theme : Twenty Twelve (modified)
– website adress : local (127.0.0.1/etc …)

I just discovered this extension by mordauk and I made some changes on it to display on a page WordPress, the profile page from bbPress.

In includes/common/shortcodes.php :

<em>/*line 92 :*/</em>
			'bbp-profile-edit'     => array( $this, 'display_profile_edit'  ), // User Profile
<em>/*lines 747 to 762 :*/</em>
	 public function display_profile_edit() { 
 		 
 		                // Unset globals 
 		                $this->unset_globals(); 
 		 
 		                // Start output buffer 
 		                $this->start( 'bbp_profile_edit' ); 
 		 
 		                // Output templates 
 		                if ( is_user_logged_in() ) 
 		                        bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-user'        ); 
 		 
 		                // Return contents of output buffer 
 		                return $this->end(); 
 	 
 	       } 

My problem is that the profile page is displayed correctly, but none of the links work.
Someone has an idea to solve this ?

Thanks

[lornalily]

Thanks so much Trifon,

Hmmmm it seems you need to understand code to use this plugin.
1. Should I put all of those codes in a page? (I bet I’m sounded very stupid)

2. If I add the code to a page, and then adjust and create forums as per the getting started link – will they then all appear on the page?

🙂

[Anonymous User 5853594]

I suggest that you read up on the basics of bbPress in the documentation. A good place to start out for you would probably be here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Also, for showing the forums on a page, you could create a page and use the shortcodes to show the index and such. You’ll find the shortcodes here:

Hello,

Thank you for this plugin that corresponds to our research, but we need your help Please!

we would like to optimize the Forum for a Association students parents:
– Topics that open directly into the forum instead of another page
– How change the title of the forum in French (topics, freshness …)
– We have a display problem when you click on the Member
– How to organize different shortcodes?
– We have a lot of square alone on the page … why?

Is there any help for the French version 2.3.2 please?

Thank you for your help (and sorry for our English!)

WP 3.5.2
BB Press 2.3.2

Found answer in shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Daniel J. Lewis]

I’m also interested in this, especially with allowing my forum members to use some BBcodes, like spoiler, b, i, and others. (I transitioned from a phpBB board, so I want to make a smooth transition for my users.)

I’ve been looking for a plugin to do this, but haven’t found anything. I’m thinking of making a simple plugin to do this by popping up a window (via jQuery) that will take the content of their post editor and display it with my CSS and processing the shortcodes. It sounds easy to me, but I could be really wrong.

Hi, I tried installing the plugin since I am not good with codes. When I tried to activate the plugin I got the following error.

“The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature.”

Any idea how to fix it?

I’m having the same issue, it only happens for non-admins on bbpress home archive, where I have latest topics and forum list shortcodes too (which work fine)

has this issue been solved?

[nickzee]

I believe I have a good grasp of how bbpress and buddypress work together. My current setup is using bbpress as the forum and buddypress as the networking for members.

My issue and questions are related to the links created by each of these plugins.

Instead of linking to a forum archive page, I’ve created a separate page and am using short codes to add in the forum. I did it this way because I don’t like how WordPress (or the theme) adds “Archive” to the page header (in my case it’s “Forum Archive”). I also don’t like that Archive pages have limited sidebar options, and poor SEO (thanks to Yoast for making it better). But anyway, you can see I’m trying to stay away from the archive pages.

The problem with my setup is the breadcurmbs above the forums. When navigation backwards, the breadcrumbs take you to the “forum archive”. Additionally, a link that is directly to a reply or topic, it is based off the forum archive. Foe Example:

FORUM LINK: website.com/mvp-members/mvp-forums/ (shortcode method.)
TOPIC/REPLY LINK: website.com/mvp-forums/topic/search-first/#post-18143

Are there any tricks to getting these links to work seamlessly with each other? Or a different method of setting up the forums? Or any other advice?

I appreciate it with thankfulness.

[Shmoo]

You probably have a misunderstanding of the word Forum and Forums it happens a lot.

A Forum is a common name for a support forum like we have at WordPress of bbPress or any other website online. They all call the page Forum or Support or Community.
But a Forum can also be ONE single item like a category inside other Forums. Thats why the landing-page you’re looking for is: yourwebiste.com/forums/ ( list all forums together )

But you can make your own landing-page by going into WordPress backend and Add a New Page + paste one of those Shortcodes to make it more easy.

It should but then again some themes aren’t compatible with bbpress what I do is I use custom pages with the shortcodes that way I know it displays right

[beardydan]

Hi everyone

I’m one of those novice newbies i’m afraid.
Trying to create a simple forum site.
Have selected great theme – Spun
Using bbPress as forum plugin.
When I redirect the permalink for post selected to contain the forum I get this view: but when I use the shortcode for the forum index it displays just as I’d like Though this isn’t navigable.

It looks to me like it’s trying to fit the forum in one column. Could anyone tell me what code I’d need to create what I see using the shortcode on the /forums page so it’s usable? Or is there a way of running the forums using the shortcodes?

Many thanks

[chrishe]

Hi, I am using bbPress as part of a wordpress site. I would like to show “recent activity” in a sidebar widget without using too much screen space. In other words a combination of the “recent topics” and “recent replies” widgets, e.g. as below (1 topic, 1 reply, but able to set number would be good also)
“Recent Forum Activity”
Latest Topic…
Latest Reply…

Is that possible with shortcodes? else maybe a way to combine the output of the two current widgets?
Thanks

[tharsheblows]

Ah, ok, I understand what you want (I think). I have a page like that where I use the [all-recent-topics] shortcode : https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ . I’m going to try using it in a text widget* but when that doesn’t look like I want, will copy / paste / edit and make a new shortcode to use. (I like shortcodes.) I’ll probably get to it sometime this week and can post it if you’d like, with the caveat that you’ll need to adjust the styling for your site.

*if you want to use shortcodes in text widgets add

// Use shortcodes in text widgets.
	 add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

to your functions.php file.
