There is a common disconnect between the WP user profile and bbPress. It’s not integrated. Right now if the user registers with the bbPress registration, then logs in, it takes them to the WordPress profile page. This isn’t good for branding. First of all, it takes them ‘out’ of the site into a WordPress profile (confusing them right off the bat), which has the WordPress logo and WordPress backend style. At this point, a non-WP user doesn’t know what to do to get back to the site.

Is there a clean, easy way to redirect the “Profile” link back to the bbPress profile and prevent them from ever hitting the WordPress brand? The site needs to feel consistent and well-thought out without this random user flow.

The website I’m working on is: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum

I want to customize a topic that is closed. It was easy to find the css class for a topic that was closed, but I cannot for for the life of me find what php file is executing that class. I want to add an extra column with the string “[Resolved]” next to the name of the topic to make it more intuitive for my users. The website with an example of a closed topic is: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/forums/forum/submitted-features/

I am running Wp v3.4.2 and bbPress v2.1.2

Hi,

I have created a custom registration which works and has custom fields. In my header I have added code which checks if the user is logged in. When logged in I want to have a link to ‘My Profile’ for the user. I would like to know where I can find out this information and where it is generated.

Also I would like to know what files create the user profile page, as I would like to customize it.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello,

I’m triyng to find how to create custom attribute field in topic like “Topic type”. For example, I would like to have a “Topic subject” list or a “Topic abcde” list.

It might be useful to sort the topics with that attribute in the topics list page.

I have been looking for several plugins but I have not been able to find any solution.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks for your help !

Hello… using pagelines, and have installed bbpress. Forum seems to be working fine, but the alignment of the header text for the columns… e.g., topic, posts, voices, freshness… is off…not aligned horizontally. If you can let me know how to edit the CSS for this particular piece, I’d really appreciate it. Also, possible to change the column header text? If so, how? THANKS http://www.powelltatewptest.com.php5-22.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?forum=gear-swap Also, seems like the topic title is in the wrong place… should be left-aligned, then “started by” should go underneath.. just like this forum. Thoughts on how to fix?

On my forum, it is only possible to create a new topic when in the actual forum. How do I make it like this site has, where you can click “Create New Topic” on the top and then choose the forum from a dropdown?

Anyone know a good/the best way (plugin or otherwise) to add google campaign parameters to any link in a forum topic that goes to a certain external site? For example: I want all links that go to `http://www.example.com` in the fourms to have the following appended `?utm_source=post&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=product` ``

He there… I got my own wp theme, within it a folder called bbpress for overriding files like loop-topic.php. No big deal, everything works great. But… when doing a search in the forums I would like it to use bbpress-search.php in mytheme/bbpress/ and not make use of the default search.php. I need this due styling and I need way less stuff in the results. Just want topic title and a little excerpt that’s it.

So… main question, can I create a bbpress-search.php or something so when I do a search bbpress uses that file for showing it’s results. If so do you have any pointers?

second… why isn’t there a default search function in a forum plugin like this?

third… when is the next version comming and is there a new feature list somewhere? Thanks! Paul

I want to allow users to upload to the forum. IS that difficult or possible?

As much as I hate shameless self-promotion, this is the “Pimp your press” forum so I’m going to let it all out.

I’ve just launched BeeForums, a free hosted bbPress service. It works just like those free forums services for other scripts (SMF, IPB, PHPBB) except it’s all bbPress & WordPress.

Features include one-click forum installation, a selection of (responsive) themes, spam protection, attachments, signatures, CSS editor and more. Plus we have an awesome site mascot 🙂
