if you want to know that how to use bbpress shortcodes, check this link :

http://www.authorcode.com/forums/topic/how-to-use-bbpress-shortcodes-in-wordpress-site/

[@smatthee Member 13 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks for the post, it has been a great help!

I am still struggling to get the topics to work. When I click on the topic it has my description an then it says “Comments are closed.” and there is no way to post anything…

Have a look here: http://urbanbeeguild.org.au/?page_id=227

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks,

Simon

[@smatthee Member 13 years, 1 month ago]

I think I may have figured it out.

If I add a topic through the WP dashboard it creates this wierd “comments are closed” thing, but if I add them directly through the blog it seems to work…

Strange.

[@david100351 Participant 13 years ago]

@Hagandasz

I had problems finding this, too.

Go to Forums on Dashboard.

Hover the mouse over the title of the forum, and a link comes up at the bottom of the page. (In Opera it does, anyway)

e.g. http://pour-your-heart-out.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=36&action=edit

in this case, $forum_id is 36

you don’t use the $

The same principle works with the rest. I know it says “post=36” but I guess that’s just how wordpress stores stuff.

[@sravankumardv Member 13 years ago]

Hi i tried using the code [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] as

[bbp-single-forum id=$Introduction] where Introduction is the forum id, but it is not working. Please help me. Can you exactly mention what is the forum id here, is it the title what we provide for the forum .

[@calorie-counter Member 13 years ago]

@sravankumardv

I think your code should read:

[bbp-single-forum id=36]

instead of:

[bbp-single-forum id=$Introduction]

I hope this helps…

[@kamikazeek Member 13 years ago]

Hello. I have some problems with the forum (location: http://boldogics.com/home/forums/)

Some pages are working, and some pages are not visible…

I’ve tried some shortcodes, but nothing logical….

@folgerj : i’ve seen your forum. Can you please help me to configure mine too?

[@kamikazeek Member 13 years ago]

Anybody? Suggestion?

[@jumpmuz Participant 13 years ago]

@kamikazeek I think if you change to the twentyeleven theme it works.. maybe

@bbpress looks like you have been spammed!

[@kamikazeek Member 13 years ago]

@jumpmuz: it does not….i’ve tried…

[@dennisbarkercv Participant 13 years ago]

Kamikazeek,

This is the best way to add forums

pick a theme that supports menus

1)create a page

2)add page to menu

3)select menu as active

4)add all of the shortcodes from the shortcode sticky thread to your newly created page

5)take out the shortcodes you do not require

Thats the way I do it at least.

Regards

Dennis

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

[@nirzol1 Member 12 years, 11 months ago]

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 !

[@mohammadg Member 12 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks for this! Really helped me out.

[@drsim Member 12 years, 10 months ago]

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

thanks

[@jaredatch Member 12 years, 10 months ago]

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

[@jtong80 Participant 11 years, 9 months ago]

I used the login shortcode, but it doesnt let me logout after signing in. Is there a logout shortcode?

[@sblwp Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

Hello,
I’m looking for the same customization as @spicynodes 8 years ago !
I have created a page with 2 shortcodes :
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-topic-form]

But the breadcrumb displays twice, above each one.
Is there a simple way to display it for the [bbp-topic-form] or do I necessarily need to do something in the function page (I’d prefer not too !)

Thanks for your help !

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 6 months ago]

so you want it for the topic form, but not the index – yes ?

[@sblwp Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

That’s right !

OR maybe it’s as easy to add something for the forum root page : I have recently chosen (in the backoffice) to display the topics instead by publication date (on the root page) instead of the index forum thematics, but now members don’t find how to open a new topic !

(hope my explanation is clear ! ;-))

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 6 months ago]

ok, you’ll need to edit a bbpress template using FTP

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

you’ll need to remove the line that says

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@sblwp Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

Thank you Robin for helping me,

The procedure is all clear but unfortunately the breadcrumb is still displayed above the [bbp-topic-form].
Maybe that’s because the site is also using the WOffice plugin (some code there that would pass over the content-archive-forum.php ?)

I just thought of another solution, more wobbly maybe :
I can see in the code source that this div is called <div class ="bbp-breadcrumb"> meaning that if I create a .bbp-breadcrumb in my CSS file, I can add a display:none; and could hide it ?

[@sblwp Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

Oh boy, I just read my message agin and I’m so confused ! Sorry, I didn’t give you the right info… The initial message was supposed to say :

Is there a simple way to HIDE it for the [bbp-topic-form]

And answer to you second message is the other way round :

DISPLAY (the breadcrumb) for the [bbp-topic-index]
HIDE IT for the [bbp-topic-form] that is called underneath

so sorry again…

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 6 months ago]

ok reverse your above changes, and then apply the same process to

form-topic.php

[@sblwp Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

This works perfectly !
Thank you very much 🙂
