Display the RSS feed reply in a given group

Published on December 4th, 2013 by julfontaine

Is it possible to display the RSS feed of the forum replies in a given group?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-lotsa-feeds/
I tried this plugin but it seems to not work anymore. The section “Individual Group” is exactly what I’m looking for. Is there someone who can help me to display the RSS feed replies in a given group?

Thanks

Disable Search Box on Forum Index Page?

Published on December 4th, 2013 by Haz

Hi all, I am using short code on my forum page, but I have duplicate search boxes on my site.

http://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/forum/

My main search box is in the sidebar with is site-wide, and one in the Forum section. I prefer to keep the search box is in the sidebar, as I am using a plugin that will incorporate forum contents in my overall searches.

Is there any way to disable the search box that appears within the forum on the forum index page?

I am using a child theme and I would prefer to avoid changing core files because of updates.

Please let me know, thanks!

Navigation: "Forums" link does not point back to shortcode page

Published on December 4th, 2013 by Haz

Hi all, I have an issue that has been baffling me for ages. I’m running twenty twelve, WP 3.7.1, and bbress 2.5.

I’m using a page for my forum index using the shortcode. I want my forum navigation link to point back to my page with short code, not the slug created by the Forum Root field.

I have a child theme, and I would like to avoid changing core files because of updates. Is there any way to code the navigation link so it has my choice of address and link text?

Here is how I’m set up:

Slug for my forum wp page is” “forum”
Forums Settings Forum Root: “DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE WHAT THE LINK POINTS TO”
Forums Settings Single forum slug: “discussion”
Prefix all forum content is unchecked…my preference.

Here are the links:

Forum Index Page: http://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/forum/ (no problem)
Forum Page: http://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/discussion/amano-shrimp-care/ (no problems)

But when I’ on the amano-shrimp-care page, for example, the “Forums” link text points back to:

http://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/DONOTWANTTHISTOBEWHATTHELINKPOINTSTO/

instead of http://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/forum/.

I know that if I populate the Forum Root field with the same slug as my shortcode page the forum index and page contents show up, but what I lose is my Page Title Tag. The Page Title Tag generated this way is the default tag from the Forum Root field. I suppose I can live with this, but I want to see if I can sort it out properly.

Please let me know, Thanks!

Why is the forum vertical?

Published on December 4th, 2013 by selurnatas

Hello, I installed the plugin bbpress, adding a forum page, inserted the shortcode, but my forum is a vertical list, I would like to appear as a horizontal blocking like normal forums. Anyone know how to do this? I use the responsive theme, but i tested with other themes and it does the same exact thing. a little assistance would be cool, for i am thoroughly frustrated.

Guest topics and replies excluded from voice count

Published on December 4th, 2013 by ronangelo

I’m not sure but I’m guessing this is not an intended effect or am I wrong? The voice count works as expected until one uses the forum repair tool and performs a Count voices in each topic which then excludes the guest topics and replies from the voice count. Also tested on a new bbPress install with other plugins disabled.

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1. and bbPress 2.5
I’m not sure but I think this only came up around the time I upgraded to bbPress 2.5

Forum Custom Permissions

Published on December 4th, 2013 by Hdm89

Hi guys over there!

I have a little problem with my forum… and I hope you can help me with it.
I’m setting up a new forum and I’m trying to set-up custom permissions for each forum
e.g.:
Forum A -> Access & View only to Group A
Forum B -> Access & View only to Group B
Forum C -> Access & View only to Group C

To solve this problem I have found two plugins:
Members -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/members
bbPress Permissions -> https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions

The problem is that when i activate the second plugin (bbpress permission) I see all forums more than one time…
I see something like that:
FORUM A
FORUM B
FORUM C
FORUM A
FORUM C
FORUM B
FORUM A

Instead of a simple:
FORUM A
FORUM B
FORUM C

Someone had this problem with the plugin?

Ty for response 🙂

I am choosing a suitable forum plugin to use on my wordpress site.
I wish my end product to look like this: http://www.tokyohive.com/forums

Please advice if bbpress layout can be edited to look like this, and if yes, how difficult or easy is it?

I am really new to wordpress. Thank you everyone for all your help!

Examples well regarded bbpress forums

Published on December 3rd, 2013 by Holly_tanner

Hello to everyone. I work part time (still in college) for a studio that is converting a popular Joomla site to WP and one of the top new features will be the community. I’ve been asked to get some ideas together for our forums and do the research on software and plugins.

I hope I’m not asking too much here but if I could get some links to what some of you seasoned community developers consider to be some of the best implementations I’d really appreciate it. If you’d like to look at the site it’s at and if you want to reach out to me privately you can use the contact form there: Attention Holly.

I’ll be back in a couple days to check replies. Thank you ahead!
