Rohan, I think orizine wants the BuddyPress forum theme, which isn’t available.
orizine, the current bbPress.org forum theme, bbOrg, which Rohan was talking about, is available through bbShowcase:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes
Keep in mind that that theme probably isn’t updated with the latest bbPress v1.0 theme changes, but it should be easy to make those changes.
It’s possible I broke something in the new bb_safe_redirect however I have tested it working and I have not seen any other complaints (and there have been several registrations on my site).
Actually I just noticed you said it doesn’t work with 0.9.0.5 which didn’t have my change.
Have you tried deactivating your plugins temporarily to see if any interfere?
Let’s look at what changed from 0.9.0.4 to 0.9.0.5
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.4&old=1898&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.5&new=2131
nice to be able to help. Got any other question (like thread maker profile link) then I know the code for that too.
You should flag this topic as resolved.
How about the “Topics per page” plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/
It lets you set the number of topics to be returned for many bbPress pages/views.
Using include is fine and fastest. Remember to try to load the sidebar AFTER your content if you care about things like SEO where content should come first. This would imply doing the include in the footer and floating the main content left and the sidebar right (or visa versa).
Nice work on your theme, seamlessly integrated.
anandasama, you are my hero! Thanks…this one works!!!
Friendly bump.
I know it’s summer & times are slow. I cannot use Firefox to view the local copy of my website when I am making changes. If I am using Firefox, I have to make my changes locally, upload them to the host, and then I can test the changes. This is a lot slower than doing everything locally — just from the increased number of steps.
Thanks
Somehow both of your codes doesnt work.
In WordPress you need to Rewind posts for faking multiple loops but it doesn’t exist in BbPress?
@tom thanks for the core hack. I will try it, and then write a custom query for forum 17 with no pagination.
Not sure I’m changing both the cookie keys, but I am making sure they match. BTW…I’m using WPMU. Latest versions of both products.
That is navigation for the front page, not topics.
My topics navigation works fine with permalinks but I also have the same problem with permalinks on the latest discussion (like on endrant.org).
I use Plugin: “Topics Per Page” .. I Added the replace in htaccess with no luck.
Using bbpress 1.0.1
Is there any other plugin or built in function that do the same trick for latest discussions?
Seems bbpress.org works with permalink / latest discussion pagination.
How do their code look like?
I’m beginning to experience an issue where-by when a certain arbitrary number of posts (or pages it seems) is reached, bbpress stops a) going to the latest page/post and brings you to the last full page. When you post a new post, it gets posted, but there is no way view this post unless you manually change the url to /[pagenumber]
if you go to our forum and follow the following link (which is the link from the mainpage to the most recent post) http://www.aethereverywhere.com/discuss/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page/8#post-736 you’ll see that it takes you to page 8, and to the bottom of that page – but in fact there are more pages than 8 as if you change the url manually to http://www.aethereverywhere.com/discuss/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page/9
you’ll be taken to the actual latest post.
I’m completely lost. I noticed that if i change the number of posts to display per page, it sort of resets the forum and lets you view the last posts, but once it reaches the next arbitrary page number, once again you top being able to view pages and posts after that.
If anyone can please help i would be so grateful i’m afraid this is beyond my area of expertise. PS. i do know for a fact that posts and posters are not getting moderated, though it may be related to askimet somehow.
Have a look here on how to exclude a forum from the front page loop, whilst keeping the post limit intact.
limit forums included in latest discussions
Note the core hack required to keep the paging numbers correct.
Maybe you then need to write another small custom query to bring out just forum 17, as I’m not sure you if you can have two loops. (perhaps the WP multiple loop info would give some insight into this: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops)
Just looking at your code, it looks like you’re ending your “if” statement a little early.
Try this:
//Show latest discussions with all forums except id 17
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : if( $topic->forum_id != 17 ) : ?>
<!-- your output stuff here -->
<?php endif; endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
//Show latest discussions but only forum 17
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : if( $topic->forum_id == 17 ) : ?>
<!-- your output stuff here -->
<?php endif; endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
Not sure if that’s causing your problems… but try it out and see what happens.
One thing I have an issue with is the first page; I want to make an own “Latest Discussions” loop with all forums EXCEPT one forum. And then an own “latest discussions” With only the entries on that one forum (It’s linked in RSS posts) on the same page.
Problem is When i used this inside the loop
//Show latest discussions with all forums except id 17
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 17 ) { ?>
codeblock
<?php } endif;?>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
//Show latest discussions but only forum 17
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<?php if( $topic->forum_id == 17 ) { ?>
codeblock
<?php } endif;?>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
The pagination gets an error (Shows me fewer posts than the actual limit), and I cant use the same loop (With different conditions) twice.. Then I get a blank page. :S
So how should I do? Have any Idea? Im not so used to the bbpress loop yet..
R-a-y: Thank you! The theme is a heavily modified version of Scoun.
Although I am soon to write a new template because of the css/html isnt that great on it. 
Just my way of learning the ropes.
About the RSS feeds: I use feedwordpress plugin to feed it into my wordpress. In wordpress then, I put in some arguments to filter out the RSS feed so it won’t show up there. Somehow it still shows up in my WordPress RSS so I need to find a way to filter it out from the RSS too.
The RSS syndication plugin can hold a number of RSS feeds with alot of options and automatically post articles.
Then I use BBpress WordPress Synchronization plugin and when bbpress finds a new post in WordPress it automatically syncs and creates a post in one of my bbpress subforums.
Somehow i dont want all my stuff to go into BbPress so when I write some new article in WordPress I can choose manually wether to sync this to BbPress or not.

AFAIK, there are just a couple reasons to want integration.
1. If you want users to be able to log in once, and comment in WordPress and participate in the forums, then integrated user data is useful.
2. Some people want to integrate their WordPress footer, sidebar and header, so access to WordPress functions get_sidebar(), get_header() and get_footer() are useful.
3. Sometimes people want to share data between the forum and the blog. Maybe a list of latest forum topics in the blog. Maybe they want a new topic created in the forum for every blog post. Integration is useful for that.
I don’t use integration, but I can understand why some people want it.
I posted this elsewhere but this works for me on the frontpage:
<a href="<?php user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster) ?>" ><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>
I’ve now made a plugin to do a few kinds of fast recounting much faster than bbPress does it and with only a few queries vs the hundreds or thousands bbPress can do.
I highly recommend you backup your database first since I’ve only barely tested it (in theory if it went wrong you could do the recount the long way via the regular functions)
http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/fast-recount.zip
The new recount selections will appear under the regular recount menu.
DO NOT use this plugin under bbPress 1.0, it’s assumes bbPress 0.9 table structures.
So to use just one of the recount functions on a forum with a half million topics, you currently pull an array of the topic id’s several megabytes in size into ram, then proceed to use 500,000 x 3 = 1.5 MILLION QUERIES to update the meta.
that’s me! Thanks _ck_.
Is this the same issue that’s causing the paging to be wrong? The user has just reported:
It commonly happens with the 41st post on a thread, where you if you click on “latest post” link you get sent to the 40th post at the bottom of page 1, with no link to page 2 (note in the example I sent you “latest post” sent you to the bottom of page 3).
I’ve just had a report from one of my forum users saying that occasionally the topic will not return the actual number of posts, and therefore the last page link doesn’t show up.
In the example there was a topic with 122 posts over 4 pages. The forum stated there were 120 posts over three pages. Latest reply listed the last person who posted but had a link to the last post on page 3 (post 120), and not post 122 on page 4.
I deleted one post and then undeleted it. This solved the problem.
I’m not sure what caused it, or how to replicate it. Could this be a bug in bbP or perhaps something I’m doing?
I have just set up WPMU with BuddyPress and BBPress. When I try to post a test message to a group from BuddyPress, I get “There was an error posting that topic.” I have followed all the instructions in the set-up. Can anyone give me any ideas about what is going wrong?
Hi smf, I tested Simple forums (I also tested Joomla with Kunena and ccborad, and phbb, and Vanilla).
In the end, I am settling for bbPress for forums because I need single-user sign on with my content system, and I settled on wordpress for that (Joomla was too slow and I wanted a very fast, responsive site).
So if you need forum integration with something, you have more factors to consider than just the forum software itself.
Simple Forums does provide single-user signon with WordPress, but it’s UGLY and there are no good-looking themes. That said, simpleForums is a highly functional forum system and seamless integration with both user and menu-system.
Hey.
I was clearing my test forums on my bbPress install, I deleted all forums and when I try to load my forums I get this message;
Oh dear!
Please complete your installation before attempting to include WordPress within bbPress
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
What on earth has gone wrong? All I have done is deleted forums?
Thanks.
Is this possible? This is what developer said that plugin shuts down and then forum posting cannot be viewed. Have to go in and reactivate plugin to make forum work. Also I cannot activate plugins saying that it is activated at the top but not in the list where it remains as deactivated. I am using the latest version of 0.9.
