How can i set up bbpress forum by it self but not with wordpress ?

Hi all,

Why is the forum base page different from the templated forum index page I have created?

My Forum index page works great. But in order for it to show it must have a different slug to the forum base set in the bbpress options.

This is where things seem to be wrong – when I view my forum index i get the slug home->forums->forum-index (with forum-index being the slug of my template page)

Surely this is very wrong, the index age should be the forum root surely? after all it is an index?

Secondly, I cannot work out which template file is used for this mysterious “forums” base page. It’s basically a list of h2 titles with the names of all the forums in, where does it come from?

Here are links so you can see for yourself:

my index page:

http://lazybricks.blueleafstudio.net/forum-index/

the forum base page:

http://lazybricks.blueleafstudio.net/forums/

Try clicking the root link in the breadcrumbs (the one next to home), it switches between the two! Odd behaviour indeed.

I only want the forum index to show, that should be the ‘root’ or ‘base’ of the forums. However if i give my index page the same slug as the forum base (i.e. forums) then i get the page i don’t want, not the pretty templated one.

I have been stuck on this one thing for a whole day after creating a lovely index page and I don’t want to be stopped by this!

If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated,

Thanks in advance

Hi – I have a wordpress blog (installed on my own mySQL Database/webspace) and have added bbPress as it seemed the best forum plug in I could find. I am using the theme Graphene. These are all the latest version as of 19/04/12.

I have created a blank page called Forum which, when the menu item is clicked, forwards to the bbPress forum main page and which appears on the top menu, along with Home and Blog.

Here is where things get difficult…

I would like for the ‘Forum’ menu item (page_item_419) to be highlighted when I am in the bbPress Forum but currently, when I am in the Forums it is the ‘Blog’ menu item (page_item_146) which is highlighted.

Any idea what I need to do? I am not a great deal of coding experience so go easy on me

Many thanks

If not, when?

I’m currently using WP 3.3.1 and, as you might have guessed from my question, theme twenty ten 1.3.

Cheers,

Michael

I’ve tried every plugin in the wordpress database, and nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help and let me know how to add breadcrumbs at the top of every forum page for members using the forum to easily navigate?

http://ridecbr.com/forums/ is our forums page.

Above where it says Forum, I need breadcrumbs for navigation.

I’ve tried all the plugins so I really need step by step help here.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I want all my forums private.

So my parent forums are all private. However when I made a private subforum, it did not show up. But if I made it public it does (if logged in).

However, I Want to check that if I have a public sub-forum it will be private if its parent is private? (this is fine if so, I just want to check!)

I tried the URL of the subforum and I Could not reach it if I was logged out so I think it works, but want to be sure! bbpress = v2, wordpress = 3.3.1

I prefer the look/feel/functionality of bbpress standalone. The wordpress plugin version seems odd to me, while the standalone bbpress functions more like a typical forum.

How can I best transfer my wordpress bbpress plugin forum data to a standalone version?

I have installed bbPress and it seems to be working just fine. I cant figure out how to theme it though. If you look here you can see that the forum in each section is listed along one line (or would be if it wasn’t for the lack of space.

How do I get these listed in a more traditional style? Colours and simple changes I can do just fine, but obviously this is bigger than that.

I’m having major issues with Akismet not catching SPAM.

From March 2011 – March 2012 Akismet missed a total of three SPAM posts.

This month alone Akismet has missed 117 SPAM posts and counting. This all started when I switched to bbPress 2.0.

Any ideas as to what could be happening?

Hey all,

I want to be able to display descriptions of the forums using the bbp_list_forums function.

I want to be able to have descriptions on the main homepage as well as the category pages.

So, what is the best way to override this function? Is there a way to do it via another plugin or the functions file inside the theme.

Thanks for the help!
