Hi,
I would like to automate the use of the feature in the topic title. Would someone point me to where in the bbPress code I should look to get assistance? Is there some tool already available to do this?
By way of background, I am going to write and external program to WordPress that adds new posts periodically to an existing forum. I then need to somehow trigger automatically the forum repair process.
thanks,
mike
Hi .. As a volunteer, I’ve created and run a website for a local dental charity www.dentaid.org which uses WordPress and a custom theme. The charity have asked me whether its possible to add a forum within the existing site to allow the dental volunteers who go on organized trips to developing countries to get together before the expeditions and discuss topics, ask questions of the organizer etc. Clearly bbPress is a natural candidate for this but having spent a few hours searching the web, I’m not 100% sure of the right way to proceed (and of what I’ve read, there seems to be several different ways to implement bbPress .. maybe depending upon the level). I would like the forum to work as a self-contained subsystem within the existing web site with one entry URL (www.dentaid.org/forums) which can be added to the nav bar and maintaining the existing header/nav bar and footer, so using the one column full screen width content for bbPress. I think that bbPress will need it’s own styling as I’m sure that the existing style.css won’t be optimal for forums.
I’ve tried putting bbpress shortcodes into new pages as recommended in some of the web articles but although it appears to work, the styling is not ideal and functionally it seems very basic. What I’m aiming for is to put something like the bbPress forum page that I’m using right now into the content of a page on our website while keeping the rest of the website exactly asis. (I would also like to allow new folks to register and/or existing users retrieve their lost passwords from within the bbPress ‘subsystem’ i.e. provide complete forum functionality from within the bbp system.
Any help as to how I go about this would be much appreciated as the charity have decided that this is an urgent requirement for a trip to Uganda coming up soon and I don’t want to go off at a tangent and waste a whole load of time climbing the learning curve. At the moment, I’m confused as to whether I should be using widgets, creating child themes, using shortcodes with my own pages or anything else.
Pointers to web pages, documents, videos or just some good old-fashioned advice will be very welcome.
Thanks in anticipation.

WordPress 3.7.1, bbPress 2.4.1
Users (all roles except Administrators) cannot see the first post in any topic, regardless of it being their own post or not. Changing forum role doesn’t do anything. Only making them Administrator on the wordpress site does. Tried setting default theme and disabling other plugins to no avail.
Not using Wishlist Member and never did. Unsure how to debug, and seen other topics strand with no solution.
I am using the latest version of bbpress and on 3.5.2 of WP and not sure if this is a bug or not.
When viewing a user’s profile, the user’s username does not display next to the About tag heading when you are viewing the Profile itself and also when viewing topics, replies, subscriptions, favourites when the contents of those pages are empty.
It will only display “About KatieKat” on the forum/users page heading if there is something in topics, replies etc. Nothing shows at all when you get the front Profile page apart from the word About.
Is this a bug and if not is it possible to display the username even if there is nothing on that page in the About heading and especially on the front Profile page.
Kind Regards
KatieKat
how can I change the sidebar for the forum page?
bbPress WP Tweaks « WordPress Plugins did not work for me.
I was able to remove the blog sidebar and even make the forum full width but what I’d really like to do is add a custom sidebar.
Is it possible to show a post count under the user for bbpress? I’ve done some searching but still haven’t been able to find a proper way to do it
Hello,
I was wondering if someone can show me/us the way to create a theme similar to this website:

Hello,
I’ve going through the internet searching for a solution for the slugs issue, is there anyway to fix this ?
Trying to add new users to my bbpress, but only blog roles are available. As soon as I deactivate bbpress, then bbpress roles become available.
Only one other plugin was activated at the time of install. I’ve since done a fresh install of wordpress, deactivating all plugins and then activated bbpress.
Same results – I start with blog users (when only wordpress is installed). I activate bbpress then check user roles again (via “new user”) and still have only blog roles. Then I deactivate bbpress and suddenly the bbpress roles are available.
I don’t understand what is happening with user roles. Any suggestions are most appreciated.
i think this is an issue that needs to be fixed. i have a forum on my website that requires a member log-in to view the private forums. and when you go to the forums page, a non-member can go to the search and search for something (for instance ‘church’) and a private forum will appear. they can’t see anything in that forum without logging in, but in the case that sensitive information is on that forum, it’s private for a reason.
is there a work-around for this? i don’t want to get rid of the search bar altogether, because registered members may want to search.
thank you!!!
