Hi there,

I hope anybody can help me (I already searched but didn´t find what I´m looking for). I set up a small forum with bbpress and would like a separately log-in page at the beginning. No register, just login (the forum should not be visible before logging in). I tried to put the [bbp-login] Form on the first page. But when you logged-in you should direct to the forum-page, which I don´t know how to do.
Can anybody can give me a hint or a link to an already existing topic (which I didn´t found)?

Thanks a lot and best

Jörg

Hi, thanks a lot. That would be nice.

Best,

ok, so I’ve created a shortcode that should do this

I’ve added this to my bbp-style-pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

and you’ll see how to add the shortcode there

Hi @robin-w,

thanks a lot. I will try it.

Best, Jörg

Hi @robin-w, just jumping on this thread as it is the same topic.

I installed your bbpress style back a few days ago and it is up on my website. However, I can’t seem to figure out where to put the shortcodes to make them work. Do I need to put them in the files themselves or can I put them on in the page content? When I have tried to use the shortcode to force login on the forum index page for non-members (by putting it in the page content section), I get an error message that the “response received is not a valid JSON file.”

Many thanks for all your hard work on this!

sorry, one of the many annoying thing now that WordPress has blocks is that it doesn’t like shortcodes unless written in a special way – I’ll release a new version shortly, but yes you add it as a shortcode block in a page, and that is your forums page

ok, try 4.6.8 style pack

@robin-w, that worked. Thank you so much!

Great – glad you are fixed
