Is it possible with bbpress to have indented discussions like this:
something like this…

Is this possible?

A guest/anonymous user created a topic yesterday despite this not being allowed (I have “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” unchecked.)
How could this happen and how can I fix it?
I have all current versions of WordPress, bbpress and buddypress if thats relevant. I also use GD bbPress Tools and bbPress String Swap.
when I go to my forum page, sometimes the categories don’t show up and when I go to the category page sometimes the topics don’t show up… Also when I click the link at the top of my site which points to http://sonsofanarchyforever.com/forum/ it goes to random topics, instead of /forum/… Any thoughts?
How can i overwrite bbpress functions? I want to pass custom arguments in:
function bbp_get_topic_admin_links()
function bbp_get_reply_admin_links()
and
function bbp_list_forums();
example:
i want to remove the seperator form bbp_list_forums: ‘separator’ => ‘, ‘
now i modified the corresponding template.php files. but i think its better to find the righ hooks to pass custom arguments to those functions?!
thanks!
Hey guys. So I’m used to the regular forum format like phpBB and IP Board where it looks like this: http://imgur.com/XlyR6cc
So, where it says Welcome to IPS, that’s the category name.
Under that, you have News and Information, and Pre-Sales, those are your FORUMS.
Then you have a space underneath the categories as can be seen in the picture.
This makes sense because your CATEGORIES are SEPARATED from each other, and the FORUMS, are listed underneath.
The way bbPress it, you can click a category. This makes ZERO sense, there is NO reason to click on the category.
Also, as can also be seen in the picture, the amount of topics, and replies are to the right side, with the recent reply, time, latest thread, and time to the right.
This can be done by anyone with some moderate CSS knowledge and WordPress know how, unfortunately I possess little of both.
So I’m here for your help. Please share your wisdom with me and help me get this layout. This is a layout SO many people have asked for, yet I have found no tutorials on getting anything like this and it just astounds me considering how popular bbPress is, I don’t know why bbPress has a god awful layout.
Note: Please do not make any “well this is how bbPress is supposed to look like so you should deal with it” comments. I’m not here to hear that.
Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me achieve this. I really appreciate it.
I am posting a topic using this form, which specifies to post to post_parent ID 599.
Everything functions ok, but the topic will not show up in the frontend under the specified forum category.
It does show after posted, but in the backend. What am i missing to have it show up under the forum?
<?php /* Template Name: Question Form */ get_header();
if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == "new_post") {
// Do some minor form validation to make sure there is content
if (isset ($_POST['title'])) {
$title = $_POST['title'];
} else {
echo 'Please enter a title';
}
if (isset ($_POST['description'])) {
$description = $_POST['description'];
} else {
echo 'Please enter the content';
}
$tags = $_POST['post_tags'];
// Add the content of the form to $post as an array
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $description,
'post_category' => array($_POST['cat']), // Usable for custom taxonomies too
'post_parent' => 599, // Forum ID to be posted to
'post_status' => 'publish', // Choose: publish, preview, future, draft, etc.
'post_type' => 'topic' //'post',page' or use a custom post type if you want to
);
//save the new post
$pid = wp_insert_post($new_post);
wp_redirect(get_permalink($pid)); exit;
//insert taxonomies

<?php get_footer(); ?>I saw a really cool custom forum that has a responsive design, and I like the grid design they have to display them: 
One of the best features is when viewed from a phone, it aligns all those images into banner size items one on top of the other. It makes it very attractive for mobile users which account for 60% of my traffic.
Are there any tutorials, plugins or examples out there that could point me to the right direction?
I’m looking for a few plugins to see if bbpress can do what I want with my community and I thought you guys might have some great suggestions.
My current community is use to facebook groups type of an environment, so I’m trying to offer an easy and attractive alternative so they can transition into a community that I have more customization control.
Thank you!
Had WPMU Forums installed when I installed bbPress. Deactivated it and removed all files. Installed bbPress fresh. Still, no “Forums” in admin menu (left dashboard). Help?
I am getting a 404 error when I navigate to a topic like this one
https://www.geistinteractive.com/support/topic/barcode-creator-1/barcode-creator-v1-0-released
I have reset permalinks many many times to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Todd
