Hi folks,

Always one to make things twice as hard as they need be, I started out designing a theme for the standalone product and I’d now like to change gears and port it to the plugin version.

Essentially, I didn’t think I’d use WordPress for my main site… but I’ve since come to change my mind. Now, I’ve got a nice custom theme for both my WordPress installation and a nice theme for my bbPress installation.

At this point, I can’t decide if I’d be best to keep them separated and use the integration options or to sit and re-theme everything with the plugin version. If I were to continue to use the standalone, is it possible to create widgets similar to the “recent topics” and others created by the plugin version? And subsequently, is there a way to use shortcodes for embedding bbPress into WordPress pages? heh

Sorry for the novel…

The guys at WPCandy either used Shortcodes or a custom template to pull that off.

Is there a way to pull custom icons in front of each post title under the forum section?

[spixy]

So how should my hierarchy looks like, i cannot create a good one…

What I did is:

1. I created a PAGE, and name it as ‘forum’

so the link would be http://mydomain.com/forum

-the content of that page is the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

2. I created a FORUM named General Discussions

-problem is when i open that forum, shows nothing, just the header

GENERAL DISCUSSIONS

3. I created again a PAGE named general chat and put the shortcode

[bbp-topic-form]

im pretty messed up, can you guide me on creating this forum

i have an idea, but seems i cannot explain and do it

something like

[spixy]

if i activate my bbpress plugin beta 3, yes, in admin panel,

im getting the new menu there for adding forum and topics..

also, by defaul, bbpress creates a slug topics, forums, forum, topic etc.

but when you visit that page, it shows nothing but..

archives of “”,

and when i try creating a page and name it forums and add the short codes

its all the same..

what should i do?

[Krispulo2000]

Hi,

I like to use [bbp-forum-index] shortcode in sidebar and show only Topics number (as https://bbpress.org/forums/). Now show Topics, Post, Freshness. Can i choose which parameters to display?

Thxs

[zenmedia]

Love the shortcodes! Job well done on this plugin version. I can now use a shortcode on a custom page and display this as the root of my site in WP while keeping WP for additional pages/posts!

Thanks a million!

[emanagedfutures]

I had the same problem as Jim. It’s not working on my index page for one of my sites. I wonder what the workaround because it seems to work on other pages.

[elmalak]

Hi,

I’ve found this page very useful and it helped me create the main forum page as I wanted it to be.

http://www.carsrecoverylondon.com/forum/

However, once I go into the forum pages, or topics, everything gets lost, for example, I used a specific page template for the forum page I created with the short code, but once I go into the topics or so, it reverts back to the regular page template.

Is there a way to force all forum pages to appear in my specified page template so it would keep all my customizations?

Many thanks,

[master5o1]

I imagine the column shortcodes could be this:

[column width=”1/3″ final=”true”]…[/column]

BuddyPress does indeed include the full standalone version and doesn’t (yet) fully support the plugin version. It has been announced that in a future release of BuddyPress, support for the plugin will be included though.

What you’re seeing in the Dashboard are the menu’s from the plugin version. The forums have to (manually) be given pages of their own, for them to show up in the front-end of your site.

You can create pages for the plugin’s forums using the plugin’s shortcodes (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes).

I know that the interaction between BuddyPress and the bbPress plugin isn’t much at the moment, but I hope that BuddyPress will try to make it easier in future releases.

You can use them side by side pretty well though, although I do not know how things will change when the bbPress plugin version is included into BuddyPress. I imagine that it might cause some importing issues.

I get the same error with the latest versions of bbPress Plugin and WordPress. I tried a fresh install but i get the same error.

If i remove the code from common functions the update works ok.

if ( $bbp->errors->get_error_codes() )

$has_errors = true;

But i’m afraid without that code there won’t be any error printed

Does anyone have another solution?

[frankpereiro]

I don’t know if this is the right forum for this. Nevertheless, I’ve done some search in the forums and haven’t seen an answer or topic with this problem:

Whenever I try to update my user profile (with the Yahoo info, for example) I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_codes() on a non-object in /**********/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php on line 1392

I’m using the latest version (2.0-rc-2) of the bbPress plugin for WordPress.

Hi, I am using a custom theme, which I am not the author of. I have, however, made quite a few changes to the css of my current theme. In order to try and fully integrate the bbpress plugin, I tried to set up a child theme (according to JJJ instructions), but it seems that my current theme just doesn’t support one. My question is, where do I go from here?

The other interesting thing is that I changed from a standalone bbpress to the plugin, and imported all of our topics, post, etc. just fine. What also appeared, surprisingly, was the custom edits we had made to our standalone bbpress forum. Can someone tell me how/where it is pulling these codes/styles from?

Thanks in advance!!

bbpress RC2:

1. The search does not work. It searches only in the wordpress default pages, not in forum posts.

2. The profile edit does not work. It ends with fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_codes() on a non-object in … bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php on line 1392

3. Stick a top to the front and close it. Add another topic and make it sticky to a forum only. The super sticky topic does not appear everywhere anymore.

thanks i’m really enjoying bbpress plugin version, after some day of testing now i think it’s really great

[Mike1233]

you awesome thanks for help and give this.

have an idea how can change the link in the breadcrumb? the forums link bring me to bbpress standard site but i have made my own site with shortcodes.

[Matalina]

I get the following error when my users try to update their account information through bbPress user pages:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_codes() on a non-object in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php on line 1392

I disabled all plugins other than bbpress and still get the same error.

WordPress is up todate.

bbPress is up todate.

I’m using a custom theme based off of what was in the bbPress folder, but I didn’t update the files to rc1 template files, could this be the issue?

I too have upgraded to RC2 and when my users try to update their profile they get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_codes() on a non-object in /hostroot/voipbloggen.dk/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php on line 1392

I’ve tried the shortcode for the index page, and it’s not taking me to my forum.

I’m trying to use the plugin version.

[pimarts]

You can use these shortcodes:
