Hi there,
I am using bbp_topic_excerpt() inside loop-single-topic.php (in custom theme) to display excerpts in my forum topic listing page. The excerpt only displays 100 characters before it cuts off
I was wondering if there’s a way to increase the excerpt length (to say, 200 characters), without hacking any of the core files?
I’m using bbPress 2.1.2, Buddypress 1.6.1, WordPress 3.4.2
Hello,
I have installed the BBPress Forum and have reviewed the installation forums. I have placed the following short code on a page:
But it is not showing when you go to that page.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards…..
… might not be to use bbpress at all.
I have a standalone bbpress that I would love to import & integrate. I assumed that the “forum” would be a category on my wp install, and the topics subcategories, and the forum posts seen as wp posts and comments.
This would allow my wp site to act as neither blog nor forum but a truly integrated website, with everyone acting like an author, and a central way for me to control the content flow.
But from my explorations I discovered that it doesn’t work this way at all. Forum posts are not wp posts, there’s still 2 separate systems in this “integrated” model. So the comments on my wp install have a different codebase than the comments/replies in my forum, for example.
I’m considering totally tricking out one of the many form plugins (Gravity Forms, etc) to create “posts” in the “forum” category in my wp install. So the whole concept of the forum is nothing more than having logged in users create guest posts in a truly integrated wp install.
Just curious if anyone has done this — I can’t be the first guy to think of this idea. The biggest drawback so far is that i would need to find a way to import the posts in my old standalone forum to become posts in my new setup.

Hello, I’m trying to set a wordpress site, where for the forum, people fill a form : reach or propose a travel, place they live, number of seat in their car, and then enter the form that will appear with a css style and people can interact to it …
Any idea of how can I create a form forum like that ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi there!
So, I have installed bbPress to do forums on my site, howtosurvivehosting.com. However whenever I try to create a topic, it says that the page does not exist. Please can someone tell me why this is and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Is this plugin BBpress compatible? I am trying to use it to set forced_root_block to false, but it seems to do nothing. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Please help step by step (tutorial)
thank you!
I am trying to get rid of the text: “Add this topic to your favorites” and “This topic is one your favorites”, as I am using a background css image instead.
The icons are working beautifully, bar the fact that the text comes up.
You will also notice that if you click the star to add it to your favorites, another star appears, which is a link to all your favorites. It appears the link to the forum favorites doesn’t have its own css class, which is why both are coming up as stars. I’d like to get rid of that.
Not sure if this will fit in with your plugin bbPress String Swap David, if you see this.
If you want to see this in action on my forum (still being built), log in at http://netballscoop.com/log-in/ with Username: testing and Password: testing. The forums are at http://netballscoop.com/forums and click on a single topic to see the favorites and subscriptions at the top underneath the title.
I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2.
I am trying to set up a forum where the public can see it but users must register to use it. I might be daft, but I can’t seem to figure out how to set up this part of things. Can this be done? Do I need an additional plug in to do this?
