Hey everyone.
I really could do with some help as I am trying to see if BBPress is the way forward.
I want to show images inline on the activity feed. Is this possible? I know it can be done in buddypress but want to use BBPress.
As a sub question. What are the benefits of using BBPress over BuddyPress? I can add friends, post in groups etc with BP so why use forums inside groups?
Any help or advice deeply appreciated peeps.

I am using WordPress 3.6.1 with plugins Buddypress 1.8.1 and bbpress 2.3. I am trying to import the latest topics and replies from specific bbpress forums into specific wordpress pages.
I started with a Mysql query:
$query=”SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘topic’ OR post_type = ‘reply’ ORDER BY post_date DESC”;
Then (in pseudo code) I planned to do the following:
// since forum is a parent of topic which is a parent of reply
// if post is topic get forum id
// if post is reply get forum id from the parent of the topic
//create an array of latest topics and replies associated with their forums
//print latest topics and replies for each forum to different wordpress pages.
The problem I cannot seem to solve is – where to get the name of the forum from? Without getting the name of the forum from somewhere in the database, my only option would seem to be to hardcode the forum id’s of each forum with their respective names. Which means every time a new forum is created this needs to be added in manually in the code. None of the tables I see in the wp database seems to contain the names of the different forums. Even if one of the other tables did contain it I am still not sure how I would then associate the forum id’s from the wp_posts table with the forum names from another table – presumably I would have to do some kind of join? Or maybe I am going about it completely the wrong way – is anyone able to help an inexperienced developer out of his depth navigate his way through this problem?
Hi,
I’m currently installing a BBpress forum.
I’ve two problems :
-I can’t change the “visibility” of a forum or a category : It’s doesn’t save the change.
Have you any idea to fix this problem ?
And also, I want to know if is possible to “separate” the different category of my BBpress forum since a PHPBB forum ?
Thank’s !
So i’m setting up a site that will have a few different forums. I noticed that the forum-title (permalink) urls on the forum index directs to the forum and not the page that the forum is on.
A little less confusing, if you follow the set-up guide… create your forums and then the corresponding pages, and then post the forum shortcode on that page. So you’re left with two different urls. One for the forum you created and one for the shortcoded page.
Ideally, it would just be one forum page and one url. But then the problem you run into is that the forum post type is limited. You can’t use shortcodes and any textual content you add is shown inside the forum-info on the index.
Now I could just redirect the forum-title(index) url to the shortcoded page, which isn’t a big deal. I just wanted to see if anyone else did something a bit different.
WP 3.6.1
BBP 2.4
(buddypress 1.8.1 if that’s relevant)
I am trying to style my loop-single-reply template.
I am working on a copy placed in my wp_theme/bbpress directory…it is a copy of the default.
The problem is in the bbp reply DIV (that contains the author div and the content div). I need to get the content function to stop automatically adding “div” tags around the content (I want to use span tags).
I have tried to follow the rabbit trail through the files to figure out where these DIV tags are getting added, and the best I can figure is that there is a filter putting them in there.
I only need the actual content and so I have commented out the filter applied in includes/replies/template.php around line 525, and simple replaced it with return $content
That worked, but now bbcode is not working. Is there a way to stop this behavior without altering the bbpress plugin files (which will get destroyed during an upgrade)?
My forum is private, but I can set a public test one up if that will help…
Hallo,
I changed my bbpress forum language to dutch by using the bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo. I changed it to bbrpess-nl_NL.mo en put it in the languages/bbpress file. I did change my forum language to dutch. But now when i want to make a page or post the editor is gone. I cant see anything i’m writing. Only when i select the text it is visible.
When i delete the bbpress-nl_NL.mo file in my ftp the editor is visible again, but then the forum is in english again.
Can anyone help me?
Hi,
I upgrated bbpress to 2.4 and I see that quicktags-toolbar div is empty, no buttons
<div id="qt_bbp_reply_content_toolbar" class="quicktags-toolbar"></div>
It’s working fine with all other themes. Why it’s not visible only on 1 theme? Where it’s loaded?
Hi,
How to display on the search results page a forum title where reply was posted?
I’ve tested bbpress with the Genesis 2 themes and the forum index doesn’t work. Some type of strange post page is created that has an image thumbnail on it and text of the index page (last post) but not functional. Change the theme and bbpress works like a charm.
I have installed bbPress forums into my Genesis/Dynamik Website Builder parent/child theme and it works nicely. However I have some confusion on how to alter the CSS of the bbPress forums.
The general site settings have a black background with white font used. The white font is displaying on the bbPress forum pages, but not the black background.
This will be a question for those who are familiar with Genesis/Dynamik Website Builder.
I have put the following code into the Genesis/Dynamik Custom CSS field but it still displays with the default light background colors in bbPress posts.
#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #222222;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even, #bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #444444;
}Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason Davis
