Hey everyone. I’ve been trying to figure out how to match my bbpress theme with my wordpress theme. So far I know I need to somehow integrate my current wordpress header/footer into my bbpress installation. I’m thinking that this might be the only thing that I need to do. Are there any specifics on how to do this?

How can I create a navigation bar in bbPress so that when I update it in WordPress, it automatically gets updated in bbPress? I don’t want to call the full wp header as the bbPress header, but would I be able to use
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>in bbPress to call the pages in the navigation bar? Both my WordPress and bbPress are integrated in the same databases. If not, how can I do it?
I use a custom theme (heavily a modified Kakumei) and some custom plugins. The forum is new, so it doesn’t have activity, all our users are still using the Vanilla forum we had.
I didn’t hack any core files, all “non standard things” are donde via custom plugins.
Plugins i use:
– My own “Ajustes” (for sidebar, footer and navigation menu content, profile content, and some html tags).
– MD5 Insecurity (will be deactivated soon).
– Private Messaging Extended
– A custom Quicktags (ported from Vanilla)
– Ajaxed Quote
– Simple Online List (i also modified a lot this plugin, because it never worked for me ….).
– Unread Topics. I also modified this one, it was doing too many queries. I added some indices and reduced the overhead.
– User Photo. I ported the User Photo WP plugin.
– Human Test.
Also i indirectly use:
– Gaming Codes: each user can enter his gaming codes. They’re displayed on the user profile.
– Aleph: this plugin creates user lists (among other things). So i use it inside WP like a “member list”. The beauty is that i can easily create different user lists, so i created a list for each gaming code (in other words, users can see which users have a certain gamer code).
As i said, the theme is a heavily modified Kakumei. I replaced all topics/forum loops with my own, trying to mimick the Vanilla look. Also the css is based on the Tarski theme for WordPress. In fact, i import it directly from the WP installation.
For the forum/topic icons, i created a custom plugin which printed the css based on the slug of each forum, and then i added the resulting code to the style.css. I still have to create a lot of icons, those are temporary.
I hope you like my forums and if you have any questions or would like a plugin/theme release, just ask :p
I want to know what I need to change in the bbPress files so that the layout will be changed. Basically, I want the left sidebar currently on the default bbPress on the right, with the content on the left. Also, currently on the default bbPress theme, the sidebar disappears when you click a topic or forum. I want the sidebar to always be present. Is there anyway of doing this and switching the sidebar and content?
Here’s my bbPress. It’s a forum for kids and teens to discuss books on. I modified the default theme to fit with the color scheme of the main site, and added a few plugins for features that my members wanted.
This is actually our second forum. The first was a YaBB install, which I hated, ’cause it kept letting spammers in. But our members and I love bbPress and the ease of use!

As i did with Private Messaging, i needed this functionality in the Quote plugin. So here it is if anyone is interested.
Features:
– The plugin uses nonces and removes the paragraph tags added by the pre_post filters.
– The JS library used is SACK. I just copied it from a WP installation.
– When you click on the Quote link, the post content is added in the reply form. You can click quote on another post to quote it too .
I tested it on Firefox and works ok in my test install of bbPress.
Just like how WordPress calls time in the footer by <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?> and the name by <?php bloginfo(); ?>. What is the code I need to use for bbPress since <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?> doesn’t work to get the year? I also need to know how to get the bbPress title.
I have used WordPress for a few websites but only recently stumbled across BBPress.
I just added a Forum to this School History site which was pretty painless.
Can someone tell me where I can modify the template file that controls the page that comes up when someone clicks “Add New Topic”
It doesn’t seem to be in the theme files… basically this page would be the example of what I want to modify:
https://bbpress.org/forums/?new=1
Hi, i hope someone can help me with this.
I have several domains pointing to the same bbpress forum. For example, during the installation, i installed bbpress with the domain name setting of “domainA.com”. Now, when i get a visitor from “domainB.com”, he will be redirected to “domainA.com” pretty fast, like when he’s clicking the “Home” link on the forum.
I have managed to change this, by replacing, in the header file of the template, the:
<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>
.. to:
http://<?php _e($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ?>
And it works. However, bbpress use the ‘uri’ alot, and for example, if the user is not logged in, and is trying to post, he will be redirected to domainA.
What i’m asking for, i guess, is if it’s possible, in the php files somewhere, to specifically define the uri to be the server’http_host’ instead of the domainA? Where can i find and change this, and how?
Thank you very much.
Mike
