Shortcodes are explicitly prevented from working inside of bbPress.

The reason is because Shortcodes do not care who uses them in what context. If you enable them, all shortcodes will work for all users. This allows all of the bbPress shortcodes to work, inside of bbPress, which enables normal users to embed forums inside of topics and replies. No good.

You’re on your own if you want to go down this road, but I wouldn’t suggest it. Shortcodes are transparent, and a poor experience for most users (since they are completely invisible in the UI.)

Instead, I’d recommend building something for bbPress 2.1 (still in development) and write a plugin to tap into the power of TinyMCE.

k, I switched to twentyeleven theme and disabled all my plugins except bbpress and jwplayer for wordpress. I verified the div of the bbpress content box with firefox inspect element and put extra code in my functions.php to compensate for missed div tag code in the functions.php. here is what i put on top on functions.php as an injected php script within functions.php

<?php

add_action( ‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

?>

<?php

/**

* slidingdoor functions and definitions

blah blah blah php blah blah blah

then also a double attack at the end of fuctions.php is here

}

endif;

add_action( ‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

add_action( ‘entry-content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

—funtions.php ends here–

-I see other plugins intereacting fine with short codes ie [video] in my bbpress forum but not [jwplayer] can i attach this in css ?

-Is there a very messy way to go about this and edit every file in my bbpress plugin folder?

-Am i better off installing bbpress as stand alone instead of plugin?

-I’m I going about creating a media based user interactive site the wrong way when choosing wordpress w/ bbpress?

I’ve literally spent 90% of my time just trying to get what I want to work and edit it so its all tight. This issue is a brick wall and everything is stopped until this issue is resolved. So really am i just going nuts trying to reinvent the wheel?

Thanks guys…..

The fix it for payment offer always stands until its fixed. That goes for everyone not you Jared But feel free lol

bbPress out of the box will not support [shortcodes] so JW Player will not work in forum posts.

If you want to enable [shortcodes] in bbPress topics & replies then give this a try.

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

And then install a ‘whitelist supported’ video player eg.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/

[DarwinsDream]

here is my issue with jwplayer in a nut shell—

working video player

(tested on my 404, because no one should be there anyway):

http://www.soundhampton.com/404_page_not_found

non working video player

(inside forums shortcodes not being read):

http://www.soundhampton.com/the_knowledge_forum/topic/why-its-important-to-research-your-business-and-domain-name

[DarwinsDream]

I cant get my jwplayer shortcode to work in bbpress. I am aware of the shortcode issue in bbpress. But I need all shortcodes to work in bbpress. Security is not an issue at this point.

I tried the (get_shortcode)code in the theme fuctions.php file with no result. Not really sure if I was supossed to put it in the wordpress theme or the bbpress theme. Maybe im writing the code in the wrong spot, I’m not the strongest on php my strengths are html, css, and design. This issue has been a thorn in my side for about a week. So if anyone can tell me exactly where to place the–

add_action( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

php script so I can get this thing flowing, I would def owe you a buck.

also i get an error when i try and install shortcode whitelist and bbcode

This seems simple, but I can’t for the life of me find it documented (I’m probably just missing it). Any help from the community would be much appreciated.

How do I show a forum using php, without using do_shortcode(); ?

Also, how can I start a new loop to fetch a specific forum’s contents? I think it’s with BB_Query, but I can’t figure out the syntax.

Thanks in advance,

Kenny

Hi,

How can I rename Topics to Tickets in BBPress? I have renamed the tags as such but would like the actual topics heading to read Tickets.

I also notice on this message system you have a sub menu ‘not resolved’, ‘resolved and ‘not a support question’, which is something I would also like to include.

I am trying to build a Project Management and Support system that includes tickets. I already have a general forum function via Buddypress, so I created a secondary forum page called tickets and included the shortcodes to configure it as a ticket system.

I have looked around the net and here extensively, so forgive me if I have overlooked something obvious.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I’ve looking for a solution to show below one of my blog pages a topic discussion from bbpress forum. The problem I have is that this page has the Visual Editor off in order to write PHP inside for my convenience.

So I can’t use the shortocodes there and neither the php code as it appears in the plugin templates. Because the code has to make a loop to show all the discussion for this certain topic I think it is not possible to integrate a PHP code for that on my own PHP code…

Any idea about this?

[Milan Petrovic]

I’m having a bit of trouble with this as well. And I too am on a BP install, though it would seem to me that it shouldn’t matter.

I used it like this:

- [bbp-login]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id="35"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id="link"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag $id="35"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag $id="link"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$topic_id]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=35]



(this is when I found the codex file for bbpress shortcodes at https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ and formatted accordingly)



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$35]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$tag_id]

And I got no forums rendered. Very confusing, since the last two were copy paste from the codex.

I recently noticed that when I try to start a topic or posting a reply, it’s taking about 30+ second before the topic/reply is show up. If you try to tell me there may be a “bad plugin” and try to disable all of it except bbPress, save it. I have tried the following:

1. Using different browser.

I find out that when I try to use Firefox 12.0 to post, it’s loading extremely slow. But this is not happening in Internet Explorer 9 or Google Chrome 18.

Try to start Firefox in safe mode? Yes I have tried to do that but it doesn’t make a difference.

2. Using different user/computer.

It’s still the same.

3. Try to post a comment in a normal post.

I was able to comment a post without any problems, so I think it may be a “bad plugin” problem.

4. Disable all plugin (except bbPress & BuddyPress)

But the same thing happen. FYI I don’t edit either the bbPress or BuddyPress files.

5. Using different theme.

I replace my modified custom community theme with BuddyPress Default theme and see if I putting bad codes in my theme. But this doesn’t solve problem even I tried other themes.

6. Change permalink structure.

It doesn’t make any changes, and I don’t think it will help.

7. Reinstall WordPress, bbPress & BuddyPress

Still doesn’t make any changes.

8. Create a new install in another domain.

I use http://scirefs.com/ as my main and http://www.scirefs.org as a sandbox (with the same configuration as in SCIREFs.com) with only bbPress and BuddyPress activated. But everything works fine in SCIREFs.org with either bbPress 2.02 or 2.1 and I have no issue with Firefox 12.

9. The Cloudflare……

Since I have Cloudflare as my CDN for SCIREfs.com but not SCIREFs.org, I tried to remove SCIREFs.com from Cloudflare and add SCIREfs.org to it and see what happens. The result: The issue with Firefox at SCIREFs.com disappear but SCIREfs.org is now facing the old issue.

Do anyone here have any ideas what’s wrong with it? Or someone here is facing the same problem? This seems to be the first and the only problem I can’t figure it myself.

You can login to SCIREFs.org using the following information:

Username: demo

Password: demo

URL of the forums: http://www.scirefs.org/test-forums

And try to start a topic or post a reply using Firefox and see if it’s happening to you.

[Stephen Edgar]

The page /forums is a generic page part of bbPress.

You can create your own page/s and use the bbPress Shortcodes

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Go to Appearance > Pages and give it a title (Discussion, The Teams, Leagues etc)

Then in the content of that page use the bbPress shortcodes with how and what you want on that page.

This for example would show what you currently have on /forums plus add the ‘new topic form’ below that list.

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

You could also create a page called ‘New Topic’ and just have [bbp-topic-form] on that page and then using the same method from Jarad above add those pages as menu items.

The codes are working .. But i need “Buttons” so my users can see what is available for them Anyone know how i can add those “Buttons” ?

[chr313]

Hi everyone, I wanted to see if there are any shortcodes or code for displaying my favorites or for my topics started? If so I can just display them on a custom page. I’ve been all over the forums and cannot find anyone who has asked for this.

Thank you for any help,

Chris

[Arion]

Sure.

I have the Black Label wordpress theme on my site and as such it comes with a fullscreen background image option on every post and page. I bought this theme for this very reason. Now, when I plugged in bbpress, I had to use the shortcodes on the main forum page which was no problem but when I click on the forum or the topic links, I get sent to a page that instead of saying “edit page” in the admin bar, it says “Edit forum” or “Edit topic” and doesn’t allow me to set the background image.

Now I looked into creating a default background image by changing some .css but this sets that image for ALL the pages, (page.php) and though it is overridden by the set background image in the theme, it isn’t pleasing to my eye to have one background image when you open and a second or two later have another one pop up on top of it. So I trashed this option.

Did some research on how I can resolve this problem and found a previous thread here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Needless to say that it interested me that I could create my own wrapper and have the forums and topics open up in a special page and have a set background for that page alone that won’t affect my other pages.

Well, this is the skinny of my situation. I hope I gave you enough info this time, sorry for not doing it from the get go. Can I do this? Where do I change the default wrapper to my new one? I’m imagining it’s in the function sets. Or perhaps there is an even better solution to my situation. What do yo suggest Brandon?

Oh, and thanks for your time

How to replace one string of text with another one?

Example, change ” :heart: => spade ” in each and every topic and reply.

[purplesea]

I’m trying to make a topic creation form in a single page all by itself for a specific forum I created.

So I created a shortcode function using the code below.

bbp_get_template_part(“bbpress/form”,”topic”);

and when I put this code into the page, I was able to make the topic creation form all by itself as I wanted.

But my question is how can I set a specific forum to write?

I see there’s a dropdown menu I can select the forum I want to write. But in default the dropdown menu selector set to the very first forum.

I want to have a specific forum selected as a default. Or if I can get rid of the dropdown forum selector and specify which forum I want to write, that’s fine too.

So I looked at the codes but I couldn’t figure out how to specify a specific forum to write.

I found the following code from form-topic.php and I guess I have to change the code somehow to specify the default selected forum.

<?php bbp_dropdown( array( ‘selected’ => bbp_get_form_topic_forum() ) ); ?>

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to insert a search form in the forum header? I have tried to create it my theme’s searchform.php with these code :

<form id=”search” name=”searchform” method=”get”>

<input type=”search” id=”ts” name=”ts” title=”Search Topics” placeholder=”Search Topics” />

<button type=”submit” value=”search” id=”searchsubmit”>Search</button>

</form>

<form id=”search” name=”searchform” method=”get”>

<input type=”search” id=”rs” name=”rs” title=”Search Replies” placeholder=”Replies” />

<button type=”submit” value=”search” id=”searchsubmit”>Search</button>

</form>

The first one search for topics when in a specific forum (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/forum/test)

The second one search for replies when in a specific topic (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-test)

The problem is, I just want the first one to appear in “/forums/forum/test” and the second one in “/forums/topic/this-is-a-test”. Where should I insert those codes?

Or do anyone here have a better idea to make a search form? I tried to make a bbpress search-by-categories page but I’m kinda stuck.

[bjj_pl]

Hi,

I’ve got some difficulties with shorcodes in my bbpress installation for wordpress. I have to use special shortcodes for card symbols (spade, diamond, etc.). Example, I use special format for posts, that changes :spade: into <img src=”dsewfwe” />. It works for posts and comments, but it doesn’t work for topics and replies

Any advice how to automatically replace a string with a different one?

Please help

[Richard Vencu]

I just tell you to look at that menu on Notepad++. you should choose Unix format, then save the file and upload it again on the server. this should fix your problem in my opinion

EOL is end of line. Different OS uses different codes for EOL, we have Windows format, Mac format and Unix format. often is possible that is you save the text file with windows format it will look nice under windows os but may appear as a single long line for linux.

notepad++ can help with that and correct your problem. you introduced the problem as soon as you edited the file and saved it with windows EOL

[Pairmybeer]

Created page – support – and assigned it as the forum base. Then added the short codes:

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

[bbp-topic-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]

[bbp-topic-tags]

And get a fatal error when trying to view page http://blog.webactivedirectory.com/support/

Created a new page customer-support with the same short code and renders exactly as planned. http://blog.webactivedirectory.com/customer-forums/

Switch the forum base to “customer-support” on the settings page and that page has fatal error and support page renders correctly.

I played with the short codes and pages do not get fatal error when only using:

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

But the page does not render correctly.

Am I missing something completely?

[Havardo]

Thanks jaredatch,

Yep, I’m using the WP 2.x plugin.

It does work as long as you don’t use categories. The shortcodes will only list the categories, but not the actual forums.

I ditched categories for the time being, but it does look like a bug.

[John James Jacoby]

Shortcodes do non currently accept any arguments at all. Would not be difficult to do, but committing to future-safe attributes will be key.

There’s a trac ticket for this already, so it’s on our radar to do in a future release. If it’s something that you need to write yourself, it’d be a great way to contribute back directly to the core project.

[arturex]

Do the shortcodes have some how to limit the number of topics that can be shown with the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode ?, per example i have a page where i only want to show the last 5 topics not all of them.

Thanks!!
