Hello,
I recently upgraded from the old version of bbPress that comes with BuddyPress to the bbPress plugin, and I’m using version 2.3 of the bbPress plugin.
Previously when using BuddyPress and the old version of bbPress, from the topics page (which showed all the topics across all groups), I could see a Create New Topic form at the bottom of the page which would allow me to select a group from the list of groups that are available to me and create a new topic in that group.
Unfortunately, since upgrading to the bbPress plugin, this form is now gone.
I was told that I could add the form back by adding a shortcode to the topics page in my theme, but it’s not clear to me which particular page I need to change. Note that I only want this form to appear on the topics page.
Can anyone help me get this Create New Topic form back?
How do I shift the new bbpress search bar to another place?
lets say I’m thinking of shifting the search bar to a 2nd navbar?
For some reason when I log into my dashboard under Settings I no longer see Forums as an option. If I go to the plugins page and click BBpress settings from there I get a permission error. Also when I view WordPress users the Forum roles are blank for all my users. I recently deleted one of my admin users and think this might be the problem. Is there a way to verify forum roles via the mysql db?
I haven’t dug deep enough yet, but on my support forum, I use the quicktags solution from the legacy bbPress, including the filters to allow regular users to post code. That is, the functions that were named bbp_code_trick, bbp_code_trick_reverse, bbp_encodeit, bbp_decodeit.
However, since the 2.3 upgrade, all code users post has the quotes (possibly other things) escaped in both the topic body and the editable text area.
Any ideas what changed, so that I don’t have to dig through?
Right, so I have a website that’s just for my mates, and I’m using BuddyPress. I made a few “Divisions”, since my website’s a domain for my group on XBOX Live. So I go on the Divisions page, and I look around for a change avatar button. (Currently, the logo is just a blank box with “—–‘s Logo”) I can’t find a button anywhere. I tried changing my theme to the BuddyPress theme, also I tried with TwentyEleven, and it still happens. On my sub-domain I have on another site, I tried it, and it works. (The theme on the sub-domain is TwentyEleven).
Can someone help? If you need it, here’s a list of all the plugins that are active:

I am using a custom bbpress template that came with my the template. I am having an issue that when you post a video link the video breaks the template. Where can I fix this in the css?

WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3
site: http://www.heavenlyz.com
Apologies if this is considered cross-posting, as this appears as a reply to another thread (but that other thread title isn’t similar). The other thread is… https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638
Ok, so newbie here who knows html and understands coding but is really keen to not screw up the site that someone else has built for me (so apologies if the answer is above and I’m not seeing it).
The site is http://www.heavenlyz.com and, I think, I’m using the “Nollie” theme.
I’ve installed bbpress, created a couple of forums and – via the great info on this thread – created a page called “Boardroom”, into which I’ve inserted the “
” shortcode. Hey presto, after much head scratching, I can now see a forum index on http://www.heavenlyz.com/boardroom/…woohoo
But, my next challenge is to be able to open one of the forums shown. Am struggling with this.
Having searched, the most relevant answer seems to be… https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638
If you think there is a better (read “easier” 🙂 solution, then please suggest but if not, please read on…
Because I am using the Nollie theme – I think – the parent/ child argument in that thread doesn’t apply, so am looking at changing the root page.php only (to be honest, I wouldn’t know how to work out whether the child page exists/ how to find the child page).
In the thread linked to above, Lab says
Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well
But my page.php says…
ID, ‘mfn-post-layout’, true) ) {
case ‘left-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_left’;
break;
case ‘right-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_right’;
break;
default:
$class = ”;
break;
}
?>
Where’s the “entry div”? Apologies if this is a laughably stupid question.
All help appreciated. N.b. As I’m learning, to start with, I’d rather keep the changes simple and effective rather than complex and golden.
hi every one
i am install bbpress it’s worked on local host but when i upload on my site it’s not showing visual/ html part of that.. Please any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Hello
The visual editor it’s not working fine on mobile, It is possible to disable it for mobile users or users with small display resolutions?
Thanks
At first, sorry about my english, i’m not fluent.
WordPress version:3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3
Theme: Origin version 0.3.5
The problem don’t happen with TwentyTwelve.
I’m using a very modified version of Origin from AlienWP. Everything works fine with bbPress, except any forum page (list of topics). It stays blank.
Checking the code in this blank page, we can see that nothing after site description is loaded, not even the content is opened. Theme header stops at this point:
`…
/** STOPS HERE ***/
…`
I tried to create a new “normal” page and use the shortcode to list topics;, it works, but there’s a link on breadcrumbs (inside each topic) that still pointing to original forum list.
I really don’t want to change my theme, so any idea is appreciated.
