bbPress.org

I’d like to have some control over the number of recent topics shown in the

shortcode, presently it shows 15 items which is a too many for my liking.

Where is the limit set and can it be changed without disturbing the normal forum display?

Ideally I’d like this an option in the settings but I’m happy to edit the file for now.

When I click on ‘Favorites’ and ‘Subscriptions’ under the main menu of bbpress.org, I just get redirected to my profile where I can only see the topics I have created, maybe I misunderstood their meaning but shouldn’t they show respectively a list of my favorite topics or of my subscriptions to topics? If so either those two don’t work or subscriptions and favorites aren’t really added when I click on ‘Subscribe’ or ‘Add this topic to your favorites’ in the left sidebar of a topic.
Thanks

If I insert a youtube url into a topic, instead of seeing the video, I see the link.

I did go into the settings and turned on oembed, both in the WP settings, and the forum settings.

Here is where it gets REALLY WEIRD:
I have the ability to switch the template on a per topic basis. If I switch away from using the built in bbPress theme and switch to a standard template, then the video shows up.

If I then edit the topic again, and choose to go back to the bbPress template, then the youtube video shows up just fine….

Is something wrong with the default bbPress 2.1 templates when it comes to oembed?
Not even sure how a template would have anything to do with it

I can replicate this issue quite easily as I can never see the video via bbPress, until I edit the individual topic template, and then revert back….

strange……

So, I have Buddypress installed alongside bbPress, and though it needs to be seriously tweaked in places, I have one big issue that I wonder if anyone know how to solve before I start hacking at it? When you’re at a topic, you can put it as a “favourite”.

The link to your “favourites” lead to /members/users/forums/favorites/, which returns a 404. The “favourites” page, /forums/users/user, that’s part of bbPress is there and works. I think my absolute preference would be to change the favourites link to lead to /members/user/forums, though getting /members/user/forums/favorites to not 404 would also be nice!

I installed bbPress at EndlessLift.com.

When I go to /forums it doesn’t have any links to do anything. No “Register” no “Login”. How are my users supposed to know what to do?

I found a Widget so I could have some links in the sidebar. When I click the links in the sidebar you can see my test content. But no links to do things like register.

What am I doing wrong?

I’ve got a problem with line spacing.

On the forum, there is no spaces between paragraphs, but on the blog posts there is. Is this a CSS issue? If so, what do I edit?

hi, am oatzeal, my website is http://dailyjollof.com using wordpress 3.4.1 and bbpress 2.1

Hi,

At the moment, this is what is happening on the front page of my forum.

Category Title
-Forum Title

But I don’t want to display all the forum titles. I only want to display the forums when you click on the category? There is no option to do this? What do I need to edit?

I’m having having the freakiest issue. Basically, I’ve got an Multisite network running BuddyPress and a separate (non bp) install of bbPress. I’m the super-admin.

I noticed that my role on the main site had been set to Forum User or some such, so I changed it back to Administrator because other plug-ins needed me to be a super-admin in order for them to work properly. Fine, so I’m working away and someone asks me a question on the forum. I answer it and bam! Things stop working again. (??)

I go back and check and sure enough, I’m a forum user again.
I want to use the forum, but i don’t want to be a Forum User. If this a bug or did I mess something up?

Thanx for any info you can provide.

I’m running the latest version of everything (WP, BP, and BB) on CentOS and a bunch of other junk.

🙂

Hi there – and sorry upfront for yet another question with regards to bbPress-Themes…

• I have been doing thorough research in the forums, no answers for me…
• Versions: WordPress running 3.4.2, bbPress is 2.1.2

My situation_

I have setup bbPress to work with my custom theme (OptimizePress) and embedded the

-shortcode into a single page (“forum”). Here I could obviously pick a site-template and therefore the forum is nicely embedded into my site-layout.

Since I cannot continue using shortcodes & (slug-)pages for dynamically generated topics, I went ahead and followed the customization instructions. I can ensure that the right (template-)files are called upon (inside my /theme-directory) because I played around with content-single-forum.php f.ex. and also checked for the correct CSS-reference.

I also followed the instructions concerning the functions.php (in /theme):

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
remove_action( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbp_theme_compat_enqueue_css' );

Now I need to wrap the forum-specific template-files with the page-template used by my custom theme. I already tried integrating the bbPress-code into the exisiting page-template with no positive result (no server-response or strange loop-behaviour).

Either I went down the right road but am weak in skill at modifying PHP-Code or there is a far easier approach I haven’t seen/figured out yet (which again doesn’t compliment me on my skill-level…).

Anyways, maybe someone can help me out / hint me into the right direction.

Thanks so much in advance,
Regards

Henning
