Links to your forums are not relative to where you use the forum shortcode. When you think about it, how could they be? You’re free to use the shortcodes anywhere you wish, even on multiple pages.

If you want to change the permalinks for your forums, visit Dashboard > Settings > Forums > Permalinks and change them there. 🙂

hmm, the other plugin i listed earlier seems to have been pulled from the wp plugin directory, authors page for that plugin is here – http://www.vinojcardoza.com/cardoza-wordpress-poll/

this poll plugin is still avail and also works fine w bbpress 2.3.1 via shortcode

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-polls/

note that shortcodes in bbpress may create other probs as jared mentioned above, using plugins like these will allow you to specify allowed shortcodes via whitelist and exclude [bbp_login] etc

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

and this one will allow shortcodes by user role

Hi Jared, and thanks for your reply! Well, the child theme’s is supporting bbPress it seems, and function file read the following from row 73 to 93:

/*———————————————————————————–*/
/* Initialize the Options Framework
/* http://wptheming.com/options-framework-theme/
/*———————————————————————————–*/

if ( !function_exists( ‘optionsframework_init’ ) ) {

define(‘OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_URL’, PARENT_URL . ‘/admin/’);
define(‘OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_DIRECTORY’, PARENT_DIR . ‘/admin/’);

require_once (OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_DIRECTORY . ‘options-framework.php’);

}

if ( class_exists( ‘jigoshop’ ) ) {
require_once (PARENT_DIR . ‘/jigoshop_functions.php’);
}

if ( class_exists( ‘bbPress’ ) ) {
require_once (PARENT_DIR . ‘/bbpress_functions.php’);
}

require_once (PARENT_DIR . ‘/shortcodes.php’);

The strange thing is that this problem appeared after using the childtheme (unmodified) for a while. The first week it rolled just s expected.

Hmm…

[Jared Atchison]

Look into the bbPress shortcodes that are available.

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

I’m the keymaster but its affecting everyone. And it’s your traditional HTML, nothing fancy. A few span codes, but nothing is rendering at all.

In fact, and probably an even bigger problem: I just posted to the site from the VISUAL tab, and the resulting post was pure code! This has only started happening since switching to 2.3.1, and I’m also using your new plugin.

[premitheme]

Good version, but it break some tiny things in posting unfiltered HTML and codes snippets, I wish to see bbPress 2.3.2 soon

Same thing here, for example when trying to add class name for pre tag it breaks.

Good version, but it break some tiny things in posting unfiltered HTML and codes snippets, I wish to see bbPress 2.3.2 soon 🙂

I wonder why you didn’t give us some time to test Changeset 4867 ?!

[Mike Stott]

Hi

Is there a time / place location where I can promote extensions that have been written for bbPress (including discount codes?).

Is this the time and place? can anyone suggest an alternative?

[jason102178]

WordPress Version: 3.5
BBpress Version: 2.3

I know this question has been asked alot on how to embed video and add youtube videos, I know how to do this by simply posting the link in the topic…. and it will automatically insert the youtube video…

But my problem is i want to have a few video tutorials that i want to insert and the mp3 or mp4 files are located on my server, i dont want to upload them to youtube…

so i was wondering if their was a way to use my own videos, i have already tried inserting the link that points to my server http://mysite.com/video.mp3 and it will not work that way..

So i tried creating a topic from the admin and use the insert media and it did not work that way , then i tried using a plugin to allow jw player shortcode and it did not work that way either… this is one of the plugins i tried using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/ with no sucess…

Then i tried adding this code to my functions.php

add_filter(‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

this method did not work, it seems almost impossible to add my own video from my server, most the topics are super old 3 to 4 yrs old which really doesnt apply to the latest version of bbpress since so much of the code has changed, if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it…

I am not trying to let my users be able to use shortcodes as i read they are a security risk and i am not trying to let my users be able to upload or use their own videos from a strange server..

I just want to be able to use my own videos instead of using youtube.

[enlightentogether]

Hello.

I am having the same problem. Forums appear on my site at this link http://www.enlightentogether.com/forums

But when clicking further there is a blank page. I added a topic which I am able to see when I insert the shortcode in a page so the problem may be the theme? I have heard other users say insert a shortcode into pages so the forum works properly but I am completely clueless on how to do this.

Do you know of any video tutorials relating specifically to inserting shortcodes for forums or articles? I have seen tutorials for inserting shortcodes for all kinds of things but not bbpress.

[Stephen Edgar]

The new shortcode is actually [bbp-stats] https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

@alexiousrahl Search is enabled by default, you should be able to see the search form at the top of your forums list eg. http://example.com/forums/

I have also updated the Shortcodes and Widgets codex pages.

[realhood]

@trip62   @alex-ye

when I check the codes of @jezza101 ‘s website ,I  find the problem 。

so I try change the codes in the chrome app ,the Developer Tools,it works.

like change http://127.0.0.1/search/ to   http://127.0.0.1/forums/search/

my forum link is http://127.0.0.1/forums so add /forums before the/search/

as like http://www.nxtab.co.uk/forum/search/

so ask:how to solve this problem

(Hope understand my Chinese English)

[AlexiousRahl]

Hello and thanks for the help!

Two questions for a noob, though: how to enable the search? Also, where is the statistics shortcode? I can’t find it here. https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Thanks again!

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress disables shortcode execution within it’s output, so that non-privileged users can’t gain access to all of the shortcodes available within WordPress. The problem is that shortcodes don’t come packaged with role/capability restrictions on their usage, allowing anyone that can create topics or replies to use any available shortcode. This is risky, so we globally disallow them.

[Stephen Edgar]

No we are all good… I removed the stuff regarding the links as this is working correctly.

Try creating a new WordPress page and add the bbPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to the page.

[Stephen Edgar]

@palmdoc You can could create a new WordPress page and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try all the things you above using the Twenty Eleven theme included with bbPress…

• Change your permalinks and visit http://example.com/forums
• Add a menu item pointing to http://example.com/forums
• Create a new WordPress page and add the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to it

Once you are happy that you have everything working with the Twenty Eleven theme as you expect it should then switch back to your custom theme and if needed contact the theme author asking why the theme doesn’t support xyz…

[Stephen Edgar]

I have tried http://vegansociety.co.il/forums and I see the error but I also see your current menu item ‘forums’ links to here.

I am not sure how the Hebrew in the URL’s works in regards to WordPress & bbPress as I personally have not gone done this path before.

What happens if you create a new WordPress page and add the bbPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

Also apologies, your post had been marked as spam for the past week :/

[Rennofen]

I am using Premise 2.4 and have installed the Premise bbPress Connect plugin. I do not see how they link to each other and have been unable to have a forum work from within Premise. I have used the shortcodes to put pieces in my Premise pages, and they show up there, but as soon as I click a link, it takes me outside of the Premise site into my root site. They look different, and I don’t want this for my members.

Is there a way to (pardon my limited use of the language) imbed the forum into my Premise site? Does anyone know how the connect plugin is supposed to work? I have not found any way to configure it to work. Any way of getting my bbPress forum to live within my Premise page is welcomed. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Premise can be found at http://www.getpremise.com.

Hi, I have exactly this Problem. Visitor can see the forum, normaly registered user got an 404 page if they try to open the forum. The next problem is, that I, with admin rights can´t create any topics. I got the message “you don´t have rights to do this”. At the dashboard I´m not able to edit topics or replies, there is no point to edit this, it´s missing. In the profile I can see that I should have admin rights. This problem is since 4 days suddenly.
What I have changed at my comfiguration is the AddHandler, I disabled it, because I had problems with the registration of Buddypress. Perhaps this could have to do anything with the problem, I don´t know.
The plugins I use are:

I hope it helps, you are my last chance to fix this problem, I asked in a lot of other forums but nobody could help me.

[Stephen Edgar]

I cannot think of why this may be the case but you could create a new WordPress page and call it ‘forums’ so the URL would be mysite.com/forums and use whatever shortcodes you want on this WP page and fingers crossed Google will index this new page.
