bbPress.org

The showcase page on the bbPress Codex is a bit outdated with some of the sites opting to not have a forum at all. Can you please help me out by sharing URL’s to websites using bbPress you think are worthy of being showcased. I’m looking for 5-10 sites but depending on the response, I may add more.

This has been a difficult one for me. I have multiple forums on my site dealing in multiple categories.
When I click any of the forums to view topics there are topics from other forums showing. example

Forum A
topic 1 (has)
topic 2 (has)

Forum B
topic 1 (has)
topic 2 (has)

when clicked Forum B to view topics, forum A topics show up like so
Topic 1 (from forum A)
Topic 1 (from forum B) {organized according to freshness }
Topic 2 (from forum A)
Topic 2 (from forum B)

What I want is when clicking forum A (or B) you see

Topic 1 (from correct forum only)
Topic 2 (from correct forum only)

Now the topics being organized according to freshness I thought it was a freshness issue so I went changed some loops. I had no luck getting this not to happen. I have removed the freshness from every loop and every content then returned them to normal having no results.
If this is related to freshness then I am having a problem getting bbpress to read the custom loop-“tag”.php I have them placed in childtheme>bbpress which is how I was told this worked from the duccumentation. You can see the specific problem on this page

In the forum list only the parent forum (or parent category) shows the forum content. The sub forum list only shows title and counts.

Is there a way to add the content to the sub-forum list items?

Thanks,
Karla

Hi there, I wanted to know how to remove the green dots that are all over the forum. Especially on the hyperlinks.

Thank you.

Hi All,

I did a few searches on bbPress and google to see if I can find some direction to use some Font Awesome Icons just like you do on this site in the widget area.

I looked at the site with firebug and I am not 100% sure where to put the <i> tag before the widget information.

I looked through all the bbPress.php files and can only assume its somewhere in a different folder. I cant seem to put my finger on where this needs to go.

Any direction would be very appreciated!

Hi. I am running bbpress 2.5.4 and wordpress 3.9.2 on a paid membership site. Since the release of 2.5.4 the notifications sent from the forum contain everyone’s email address in the bcc field. I understand this was a feature in the last release, but the problem is that all my users can see each other’s private email addresses in the bcc field. Shouldn’t the bcc field not be visible? Is there a way I can make it so the bcc is blind like it should be? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

The last posting on this topic is very old. I wonder this is still a matter of concern. I try to move my www.phpages.org/phpBB3/ forum to bbPress. I used the build in tool and get the error

WordPress database error: [Table ‘u53000db1.phpbbusers’ doesn’t exist]

u53000db1 is my phppp sql base and I made a test with the plugin cms2cms and I got a nice output, but the produced bbPress forum was somwhere else not in my application, so I wonder what that means?

Anyone there can get me started in the right direction. Best regards
Peter

I want to add a logout option to my login page. I see the login shortcode. How can I add logout? Thanks.

Hi, I tried again to post this bug on track, but I got a “you have not ticket privileges”, so I’ll try to report it here since it can be a very general issue.

My blog is set with a permalink structure like %category%/%postname% WITHOUT a trailing slash. But on bbpress file ajax.php on function bbp_get_ajax_url() the url is generated with a trailingslashit( $wp->request ).

WordPress sends back a redirect whene there is a trailing slash and the subscription fails with an alert “undefined”. Removing the trailingslashit(…) everything works fine.

There is a specific reason for that use of trailingslashit()?

Thank you, Stefano.

I’m running WordPress 4.01, bbpress 2.5.4 and buddypress 2.1.1. I have one forum installed and I have just created a second forum. The problem is when I create the second forum it basically picks up all the topics and menu choices of the original forum. The original forum is private and is password protected. I don’t want the 2nd forum private but public nor have the topics or menu choices of the original forum and not password protected. I basically want it to be it’s own forum separate from the original one. Any help would be greatly appreciated
