Hello
I’d like to combine forum and rest of the page, so that way people would see articles and topics from the forum. Unfortunately url /tag/forum-tag/ is showing 404.php file. Is there an easy way to do that? Or do I have to hack template_redirect and force status_header( 200 ) + $wp_query->queried_object = $my_override ?
Hi.
I am building my new site and integrating bbpress. I am a novice at coding but my issue is that BBpress won’t work with the theme.
I have got it styled in by creating bbpress.php file in my themes folder and copying single.php over. The issue I have is that the posts will not show. I have threads which appear but any posts created do not show.
Here are some links:
Forum Home: http://sugarnono.co.uk/newdev/sugar-free-forum/
General thread: http://sugarnono.co.uk/newdev/forums/forum/general-talk/ You will see that there are 9 topics and 14 posts yet they do not show.
Any ideas where I have gone wrong?
Thanks
Stephen
still some work to do….
but, it’s up & running now, and starting to get used 😉
used a couple of widgets here & there (homepage for recent topics, sidebars for /forums/ page)
and a little bit of css tweaking.
starting to get there.
When someone tries to reply to a post at http://tenniselbowracquet.com/forums/topic/tennis-racquets/?bbp_reply_to=59878&_wpnonce=562355b22a#new-post
there text is invisible when they start to type but this is only the case with internet explorer and it works fine with fox or chrome. How can this be fixed to work with explorer? Also the way the discussion is set up you can only reply to posts but there is no link to start a new post, how can I fix this so new posts can be created?
Thank you very much for the help.
Is it possible to transfer a freeforums.net forum to bbPress?
I am working with an organisation who created a freeforums.net account a short time ago and have convinced them to use WordPress, but we need to get it transferred over.
Thanks.
There seem to be some errors in this file:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
Specifically, lines 1137-1139 get highlighted by CSS debuggers.
I was using a third party tool to generate Critical CSS for mobile optimization. These lines prevented the CSS from being parsed properly. I had to remove them temporarily, run the tool, then add them back afterwards. Perhaps these lines can be fixed/changed in the next version?
I’m returning to WordPress after years and found bbPress as a potentially good option to convert an old forum while converting the site to use WP. What I specifically need because of user mandate is threaded topics but they need to be in a specific layout. The default for bbpress when I enable threading, is kind of a hybrid flat/threaded. What I’d like to achieve is to have the individual posts display on a page with the thread below in the form of a thread of links to those posts/replies within the thread. This is specifically what my established users are accustomed to and what they demand. The forum goes back almost two decades (original threaded forum styling) and many of the users are original members so they don’t want any fancy, newfangled flat forums…
I’m confident that I can create the database script to do the forum migration of posts/thread/users into WP/bbPress but need some insights for achieving layout issues. Can I get some help / insights for achieving this layout? Thank you in advance.

Hi, can anyone help?
I cannot find the answer to my query from searching this forum and google.
At the moment, people need to enter a name and email to post a topic, or reply to a topic, on my forum (http://psychiatryadvice.com/).
I would like to replace that with what they have at this forum: http://www.econjobrumors.com/
They seem to generate a random 4-digit code for each person posting. I am aiming for anonymity in my forum too.
Does anyone know how I can do this please?
Thanks very much!
I’m using:
Wordpress v 4.5.3
bbpress v 2.5.9-6017
