Have you created the login and register pages using the shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ ?
Are you just having trouble with getting the actual links onto the forum area or you need to create the pages aswell?
Are you using a sidebar?
I want the option for it to go to a page of my choosing. People often don’t like the default forums-archive page (which ends up being the root/home page), so they create a WordPress page with bbPress shortcodes in it to be the forums’ home page. The problem is, when they do that, the breadcrumbs root link, which says “forums”, doesn’t go to that page. it goes to the archive page, or forums-index– which is the page they were trying to avoid.

I’m trying to get bbpress to let me use a regular page on my site for the main forums page which I want to populate using the bbpress shortcodes. This is not hard to do, but the issue I’m stuck on is that once you go into the forums the breadcrumbs will only link back to the page with the “Forums” (or whatever you change it to in the settings)slug, and that page works like an archive page and wont let me write anything on it or use shortcodes etc.
I’ve wasted many hours already trying to figure this out, any help would be so much appreciated.
Thanks!
using latest updates of wordpress and bbpress
I have been trying for ages to make this works for my website, i activated the bbpress forum and create a page name forum, insert some few bbpress shortcodes and all i get is the “Forum is Empty” is there anywhere this can be resolved? Is there any tutorial on it?My site is at Latest Universities Newsany help will be appreciated.
those was RAW data from MYSQL DB …
i actually DON’T NEED to convert BBCodes – i need original post texts, and that is the problem, cause bbpress converter convert [quote] to DIV
temporary fix was – to get original text from the phpbb_posts table via wp_postmeta key _bbp_post_id

I was thinking we could provide a “users guide” with videos (think like Shawn has done with WP101) for bbPress “users” and in the same area the “admin guide” with info about running the site. Perhaps we can set aside the user content in a way that can be shared universally by site admins. We have the means and mechanism to deliver the content that way via a plugin, embed codes, etc. so a site owner could have generic “this is how to use it” instructions…. again, very much like wp101. We would donate our time and effort to produce this for bbPress if you guys are open to receiving the same?
In the past we’ve found it helpful to have one set of docs and info relating to “use” of the system, and then a second relating to “development” (or “customization”). The differentiation is less on the capability of the person searching, and more about what the point of the information may be.
Think of it like an automobile. There is the “user manual” in the glove box. But if you are a mechanic, you probably have the Chilton “repair manual” for that car in your shop somewhere.
If you use bbPress, the default “user manual” would have a variety of useful “how to use and extend this” info… but if you wanted to get into the code (php or css or js or shortcodes) you would look to the “repair manual” (not implying anything broken, just meaning it’s for modifying code)
Keeping things as simple and flat as possible might help to eliminate hiding good info in a complex heirarchy?
Here’s a lists of the shortcodes available to insert in pages https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Show a single forums topics eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]
It’s true, but you can disregard the message. load_plugin_textdomain() unfortunately doesn’t do what we need it to, so we use load_textdomain() instead.
Hi all. This evening I was just about to translate some pieces of BBpress into my native Czech lang. I am used to use Codestyling Localization plugin for translating plugins. This same I saw some strange warning. First time in my life.:-) Is here someone able to provide me with more details on following error message regarding bbpress?
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. (Codestyling Localization plug error message)
I’m not sure if I’m reading what you want correctly but is this shortcode what your looking for?
[bbp-topic-index] – This will show the most recent 15 topics across all your forums with pagination.

Currently available shortcodes are list with a brief explanation of each:

Create a page (or edit an existing page) and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to that page.

You could create a page and use the shortcodes to display the forum there. You can then set the page as home, instead of the blog (under Settings > Reading).
From there you’ve got the forum index on the frontpage. You could create other pages to handle registration and other account related things.
You’ll want to read through https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ for the shortcodes.
Asking “where are the shortcodes” would have probably helped us help you.
Asking Google for “bbPress Shortcodes” would have eventually gotten you there, too.
I’m pretty sure this is what your looking for https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
I’ll take it as a compliment that you’re lost in the simplicity if it all.
If you go to Settings > Forums, you’ll see the slugs for where your forums and topics live. You’re free to change these obviously, and also free to manipulate the output with shortcodes or customized templates in your theme.
No bugs here; it sounds like you’re just doing it all incorrectly, and what you see is what you get.
For your installation, you should probably pick 1 method of having a forum index that works for you, and use only that one. If you don’t want to use shortcodes, and would rather use a page template, then just do that way. Don’t make 1 page with a shortcode, and another at the forum root, an another here and another there.
Hi John, this is what I did when using the shortcode in my page created with slug /forums-test/. It worked well. But what if I do not want to use the shortcodes? The /forums/ page is ignoring my customized page-front-forums.php. I tried to edit the page slug from /forums-test/ to /forums/ but the system is insisting on slug /forums-2/ (created automatically by the system). How should I make the bbpress to use my customized page-front-forums.php file on /forums/? Ideally without shortcodes?
I tried to change the slug for
There are shortcodes for sign-up, login, and lost-password forms. Since there’s no UI for shortcodes in WordPress, you’ll need to check the bbPress codex to find them.
