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

can i use the reply short code in the place of wordpress comment ? i am running bbpress as plugin.

thanks

[Daxx]

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)

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.

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??

hello

shortcode is good.

But how can I remove breadcrumbs plz ?

Because I use two shortcode :

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

And I have breadcrumbs for forum and an other for topic. Maybe make a shortcode like this is t possible ?

[bbp-topic-index breadcrumbs=false]

And are they way to say number topics to display ?

thx for help !

[LabSecrets]

Unfortunately you can’t do that…bbpress doesn’t work with the native wp template, or child, it only works “within” the template structure (think of it like an insert that goes into the content area of the wp template).

As a result, just make a regular page with your wp theme, and add shortcode to the post editor. If you want you can style the wp template for header and footer and sidebar and width, etc., but not to add the short codes for bbpress

[LabSecrets]

Undoubtedly, your easiest way to go is to use shortcodes for this purpose. You simply create a new page for each view (like forum-view), then add the shortcode you prefer to the page via the post editor. In this case a forum view is easy and uses “bbp-forum-index” (within short code brackets…remove the quotes). Here is a list of shortcodes to start: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

We have a full video that might also help you:

Sounds like what you want to do is use shortcodes, after installing the default bbPress plugin (or installing BuddyPress version).

You’ll still want (need) a little styling of the default twentyten template style to help it match your current theme, but otherwise the bbPress forums can be added to a page with just the shortcodes features you wish to display:

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

We’ve done a little tutorial video that shows how this might work with your theme (forward to the “hybrid” option in the video, about mid-way)

You create your own pages where you can insert login, register, lost password shortcodes, widgets, custom templats, anything you want.

You can then use those pages you created as the uri in the widgets.

This allows everyone to have completely custom login/registration setups and the widget will work with any one of them.

[Anointed]

You could always use a custom Page for your forum homepage. On that page you can use shortcodes in order to display the most recent posts if you like.

bbp-forum-index

bbp-topic-index

Just an idea.

I knew bbPress for a while, but didn’t do anything with it until a few weeks ago. I needed bbPress for some projects to embed it in already running WordPress installations. At first I installed bbPress from the WordPress plugin repository and activated it. So far easy as every other plugin.

But how do I show this thing a WordPress site? I created a page called ‘Forum’ and inserted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] into it. Published the page and everything was visible. But now? Why do I need more shortcodes if this is working?

You can copy bbPress template files into your own custom theme folder. This is a way to change some look and feel together with CSS changes. My first question was ‘why are there so many template files?’ As an experienced WordPress theme developer I would say you only need a few. Like forums.php, topics.php and replies.php. I lost my way. Which template is used for which page?

As long as everything works, it’s okay. But then I ran into problems. I am totally lost. I don’t know what is the right way to embed bbPress into WordPress. Just by creating a page? Or add the template files to my custom theme? Both ways got me into the same problems.

I love WordPress, I love to be active in translating and contributing to various projects, I love to help organizing my local WordCamp, but I don’t love to be lost. In my opinion bbPress should work as easy as any other theme file in WordPress. Where you can construct your own page using functions, which are available in a Codex.

[Prometheus Fire]

Okay, thanks. It helps knowing that. I just installed this and am getting used to things, found the shortcodes in the other thread which will help with this setup.

I’ll just create a button in my theme for that then, easy enough to do and link to the shortcode created create new topic page.

I just converted from IPB to bbpress, and moved all my posts over.

Now the problem is, all posts now contains html codes, instead of showing images, making line breaks etc.

This is obviously a user permission problem, because when I post the same codes with the admin account, it shows right.

Is there any way that I can allow users unrestricted html code, just like admin has?

[Crisium]

Just installed the Codestyling Localization plugin… it spits out a message: “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.”

Well,.. the author would be bbPress.

any comments?

I’m unable to use this plugin on bbPress but works fine on everything else.

My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I’m looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. infrared Stationsgoing on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.

[Sean_A]

I installed WordPress, and then BuddyPress. As far as I know, BuddyPress comes with bbPress 2.0.2.

In BuddyPress’ components, the “Discussion Forums” component is NOT ticked, it’s off.

Instead, I have a bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on the wordpress’ list of plugins. I unfortunately don’t remember if I installed the plugin, or it got installed as I installed BuddyPress.

My question is, can I install bbpress plugins on this type of setup? I’m looking to get for example youtube embedding etc. going on them as well as the b or img or other shortcodes.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello all, I just had a quick question that has me stumped. I have a new site (so no other plugins to mess things up) and while the forum will show up the main forum page won’t work. I tried shortcodes and more but for whatever reason the main forums page won’t work.

The individual forum will show up at

http://happyimprov.com/forums/forum/improv-exercises/

but when I want to display the index at

http://happyimprov.com/forums/

it won’t display.

Help please.

[Themes Support]

Use bbPress Post Toolbar at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

[Andre]

The support warning means the theme doesn’t natively support bbPress. You can add support or use shortcodes and still use bbPress. Here’s a link to shortcodes you can insert in a page. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

I don’t understand your question about plugins.

[tflight]

Thank you very much, that is very helpful.
