More likely it’s your theme not working with bbPress, then. Does whatever you’re trying to do, work correctly with TwentyEleven or bbPress (TwentyTen) ?

I’m still hacking around and have just discovered shortcodes…they do some of what I wanted and, for example, can give a similar *layout* to the .org page. Still want to change some of the way the content looks, e.g. remove the navigation path above the forums and topics lists (is that possible without a theme or code change?), and I guess that may require a theme or code change but I’ll keep investigating.

It is the bbPress shotcodes I can’t get to work. I thenk that it is bbPress is not working with the Zeoal theme.

[John James Jacoby]

Short codes are not used in bbPress, to limit their exposure from unauthorized users. Most shortcodes do not have capability checks attached to them, and since bbPress comes with its own shortcodes, we don’t want shortcodes inside shortcodes.

Maybe in a future version.

<b>Gautam Gupta</b> tried to help me with this code:

global $allowed_tags;

$allowed_tags=array('name','class','id');

I pasted it inside function.php file; unfortunately its not working.

I’m using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-syntax-highlighter/ plugin. and want my bbpress forum members to make use of pre tag and this plugin highlights the codes they post on the forum.

It uses the following syntax: <pre name="code" class="c">

please help.

I installed bbPress 2.0.2 on my WordPress 3.3.1 site and I can’t get the shortcodes to work. If I add a shortcode to any of the forums it just shows the [shortcode].

http://www.rmminc.org/forums is blank the forums I created don’t show up on the page.

Below are two forums I setup

http://www.rmminc.org/forums/forum/homelessness

http://www.rmminc.org/forums/forum/poverty

Hi thanks for listing the shortcodes, these make things easy.

What id goes in this one? Where to find it?

[bbp-single-topic-tag] – Show the topics within a specific tag

Do these work for bp’s install?

[Jared Atchison]

You would want to disable the admin bar site-wide for “Subscribers”.

Then you would have a link in your site/theme that takes your members to the bbPress profile page where they can edit their profile.

If you disable the admin bar and use login/registrations forms via shortcodes there is really no reason for the users to ever use /wp-admin unless the specifically went to it.

[Jared Atchison]

You can do user registration and user login all on the front end using shortcodes and/or other plugins available – there is no reason the basic user needs to use wp-admin at all.

Hi @Everton

not sure I understood you correctly, and maybe you solved that since last week …

well I wanted the same thing (insert the bbpress forum index, in a standard WP page), thus thought I could insert a shortcode to call the forum, in a normal page

I created a page called “forum” (whatever you want there) and inserted [bbp-forum-index] in it,

all the available shortcodes are listed here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

cheers

[Jared Atchison]

Closing. If you have any questions regarding shortcodes feel free to create a new thread.

I got it working though it is not perfect. After setting up all bbp templates into my new theme and ensuring the bbpress, css, and js subfolders associated with the bbp-twentyten template where in my new theme folder properly it is working with some functionality that I can live with; however,…

The breadcrumb link and my forums menu link are not the same. Now, I use a forums page with the shortcode. Now, when someone drills down into the forums and wished to return to the main forums page via the breadcrumb they go to the default forums-archive page set by bbp. I wish it went to my custom forum page with the shortcodes, but I’m happy it is not sending people to a useless page.

So, there is still an issue, but everything is providing useful functionality at this time. I will leave this unresolved and hope the dev will fix in later versions.

You can also maintaining plugin and theme translations with the awesome “Codestyling Localization” plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/

“fi” is the correct locale for Finnish!!

Placing the language files in /wp-content/languages/ is already prepared in bbPress 2.x but unfortunately it does not work yet (since 2.x branch!) – it would be nice seeing that fixed as overriding language files via updates is no fun at all!

Thanx, Dave

[Jared Atchison]

You can create a login form though various methods (widgets, shortcodes, etc) and have them redirect to the site.

So unless your users specifically know to go to /wp-admin there are ways to keep WP from sending them there.

[Jared Atchison]

Create a ‘Homepage’ page. Use one of the bbPress shortcodes on that page. Now go into Settings->Reading and set the homepage to a static page (in this case, the ‘Homepage’ you just created).

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks.

Hello,

I am using bbpress 2.0.2 plugin on the latest version of wordpress.

Is it possible to add in custom fields, to add in postcodes for example, into the registration process for users of the forum?

I have looked through previous threads and feel they are all too old to answer this question for the new bbpress plugin.

Many thanks for your time and help with this.

[solsikkehaven]

load_text_domain is used in bbPress instead of load_plugin_textdomain – codestyling localization plugin reports….some filter and actions won’t be executed anymore…. “please contact the author”

Done.

[LabSecrets]

They are essentially the same, as the bbPress plugin is installed via buddypress upon demand.

We’ve done a little tutorial video to show how you can setup either a BuddyPress Group Forum, a SiteWide bbPress 2.0 Forum, or a custom hybrid forum page using shortcodes. You can have all three at one time. Hope this helps

thanks

Hi there,

I would like to have a simple support forum like this in this site here:

http://purerover.com/forum/index

but when I install my site the forum plugin isn’t compatible with my used theme.

The forum isn’t displayed well and also I can’t set it up in pages (i tried short codes but they don’t work

properly)

So two question:

1. Is there a PDF documentation on how to set up a forum like this: http://purerover.com/forum/index

2. Do I other plugins to let my “support forum” be like this one: http://purerover.com/forum/index

or just bbpress?

Thank you and a good night from auckland! (saturday mornign 4:40am)

[John James Jacoby]

If you absolutely must have a page there, you’ll want to use Shortcodes or a custom page template of your coding to customize it.

[John James Jacoby]

Don’t use the Shortcodes, just use the widget already supplied by bbPress.

[mohammadg]

Thanks for this! Really helped me out.

[cosfrog]

I am using Buddy Press with bbpress on a rockettheme wp site using gantry frame works (whew)

No I created a page with short codes, but when the bbpress slug is the same as the page it does not format correctly.

Also when I change the slug back to ‘forums’ that link does not work either.

You can see it at ppsdc.com/main-board (this is the page with shortcodes, shows fine now because slug is different)

meanwhile the slug link ppsdc.com/forums shows the unformatted page.

If I change the slug to main-board I get the same thing as the above sentence.

I used the forum list widget so you can actually get to a forum and see those pages are fine.

Any Ideas??
