Hello,

it seems that bbpress use page.php as template to show the forum …
is there a way to create a custom page as template ?

thx

Is there any way to import Blogger posts or WordPress posts into bbPress? We’ve been using a blog as a forum for a while, but would like to start using an actual forum solution. I can’t seem to find any importers that will do this though.

I am using BuddyPress 1.6.1, bbPress 2.1.2 and WordPress 3.4.2

I follow the guide here.

In the end, I did the trick pointed out by Sarah Gooding because mywebsite.com/forums was blank right after the above installation

• Created a page called “Forums” with permalink mywebsite.com/forums
• Insert bbPress shortcode
  • • Forum
    • Posts

  into “Forums” page

My questions are

1) How do I customise page templates for the forum e.g. Forum page, topic page etc.

My current theme is a child theme of twentyeleven and it has the following structure

> themes/bp-twentyeleven/

>

> /activity/

>

> /blogs/

>

> /forums/

>

> index.php

>

> forums-loop.php

>

> /groups/

>

> /members/

>

> /registration/

>

> header.php

>

> sidebar.php

>

> style.css

Notes

• Apparently, bp-twentyevelen/forums/index.php is being ignored.
• The reason for this set up is that I need the site to looks like TwentyEleven and has BuddyPress’ functionality at the same time

2) How do I make sure that bbPress functions will work for my site e.g. do I copy and past all the functions in functions.php of bbPress’ default theme over my theme’s functions.php?

3) How do I ensure that whatever I will get from 1) and 2) (probably from bbPress experts somewhere) will not conflict with BuddyPress’ functionality or my theme?

BuddyPress setting screenshots are here and here.

I’m using the bbpress WordPress plugin on one site. I want to move it to another site. I looked at the database thinking there would be some wp_bbPress tables or something but didn’t see any.

Is there a way to do this? It woudl be a move from one WordPress site to another, both using updated WordPress and bbPress plugins, with no forums or threads on the new site.

I have found that the file form-topic.php (located in bbpress/mytheme/bbpress/form-topic) controls a topic form.

Ideally what I would like to do is duplicate this and edit it for my needs and call it on on my WordPress page that I need the custom form for.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

i have a BuddyPress 1.5.6 site that I’d like to import into a new bbPress 2.12 install.

any help or suggestions is appreciated.

thx! eric.

When you go to type in the New Tpopic the text is the same color as the background. How would I change this?

The replies on the topics in our forums post as long skinny paragraphs rather than spreading horizontally across the screen. How do i fix this?

I apologize for the newbie question. I have no clue. 🙁

I would like to have a form like the shortcode forms,

is what I need but without the drop down box for choosing a forum but rather a forum already been chosen.

From looking at the short codes the following looks exactly like what I need:

[bbp-xxx-xxx id=$forum_id]** – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

However I don’t believe this has been added. Is there any way to achieve this? Or any plugins that can do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to receive notifications when new topics are posted (similar to the way one can subscribe to individual topics)? Maybe I’m overlooking it but I don’t see anything. Using bbPress 2.1.2 on WP 3.4.2 at http://community.resourcesfornewmusic.com/forums/forum/resources-music-forum/.
