bbPress.org

I have an intranet site that uses JS Support Ticket plugin for internal IT ticketing. When bbpress is activated nothing in this plugin works. I have had to disable bbpress until this can be fixed. Any thoughts on repair?

I want the Register link on the forum page to redirect to my websites Login / Register page http://lunchdone.co.za/my-account/ and not use the WP login form.

How can I solve this challenge?

Hi All

I’m still new to BBPress and to WordPress if I’m to be honest…

I am using the Woo Storefront Theme.

I have created a new page on my website and called it “forum” and then used the

1. I have installed a plugin that allows me to turn off my page title but for some reason BBPress seems to be overriding this feature which is working fine on all my other pages? How do I turn my page title off within BBPress?

2. I have also set up a few forums, one of them called “School Community Discussion”
Inside this “parent” forum I have created two child forums called “Michael Mount Waldorf School” and “Moore House Academy”

When I click on one of the child forums to post a new topic, there is no “new post” window for me to add a new post. This window is only available at the parent forum level!? How do I resolve this?

3. I must say that I’m dumbfounded that BBPress doesn’t have a “Post new Topic” button that will allow you to click and then select whichever forum you want to post into from a dropdown menu. I there any way to create a button like this?

Thx

Hello,

I just updated a recent installation of bbPress (version 2.4.? to 2.5.8) today and “Change Forum Role” in the Users>All Users interface is not working. However, the all roles (site role & forum role) are editable when following the edit link under the users’ name. This is a version 4.4.2 Multisite installation and I have tested bbPress both as a Network install and a single site install with the same results. Here are some screen captures…

Thank you,

How can I set the same sidebar for each forum/topic? I could easly set that up for the index of the forum, registration part and forget password section, because thats a page in WP. But when I want the same sidebar for an other subforum, I can’t choose a template, because it isn’t a page. How can I manage this?

I’m a bit new and trying to get back into wordpress again. I have a wordpress website that needs to use the wordpress database that we first set up, and 2 external databases to obtain information and even at times to edit, and update information. Tried using external database but that is for one external database coming in. Want to use an external database to first set up login meaning when they enter username and password, it will find it through g h the external database. So my question is… What is the best way this situation? If it is coding, is there some tutorials that I can do this?

Did some research, and someone said that I can use this code in the functions.php to help access another database… Is it functions pho in main or themes?

$newdb = new wpdb($DB_USER, $DB_PASSWORD, $DB_NAME, $DB_HOST);
$newdb->show_errors();

So I add this in the functions, but where do I put the second database’s info like host, username, password and etc? Where do I put the query code at?

Will this work to connect to an external databases?

Please Help!!!!

Looking for a way to make it so users are automatically subscribed to any topic to which they reply.

Yes, there is a couple ways they can subscribe, but they often forget and have asked if simply posting a reply to a topic could make it like they subscribed automatically. I’ve seen a lot of discussion about auto-subscribing everyone to everything but I don’t want that.

Setting up a new forum, and need some input. (this isn’t an installation question, but it also didn’t fit into any other forum category, so it’s going here until someone lets me know otherwise.)

Looking to do a single-page forum, with managed/moderated (top level) topics, and open commenting there-after.

I’m a little unsure of where I need categories/forums/topics.

I will have a fixed number of categories (my term here, not bbp-catagories I think), that will be “Genres.” I don’t think bbpress-categories work here, as I can only have forums and not posts under them. Also I want the ability to “enable/disable” the active ones, and all of their content, depending on the month.

Under each category, I want primary “posts”/topics. Each one will be an article, something like either a review or a historical analysis. These will be written by specific authors, and moderated/approved by an admin. Normal users can’t post at this level (although maybe a submission form down the line, but still would have to be approved by a moderator.).

Then below that, the whole of registered users can comment/discuss. This would be the heart of the forum.

So it would be more of something like a newssite with comments, than a traditional open-ended forum. [Or like the old slash dot used to be, with primary articles (usually links to other content with a little commentary by the user that submitted it), and the bulk of the community activity was the discussion on each story.] But still would like it driven by bbpress, as that leaves room for future expansion/changes without having to restart.

So what’s the best way to leverage the categories/forums/topic here?

3 categories, each with 1 forum in it?
3 different forums (ignore the category)?
Try to use something else like tags?
Other?

As this is so simple, I had a question about how to do this on a single page [3 key elements: 1) menu for genre/category, 2) sidebar with recent items for the genre/category, and 3) content area populated from whatever was clicked on in sidebar. No page for individual post. No topics/directory/archive page. Single page is all that’s needed.] but think I need to get the categories/forums/topics sorted out first.

I’m using a child theme and I’m trying to make CSS adjustments to the forum list. I need to get rid of float + width because the numbers are not aligned with the titles (topic, voices, replies, last post). Whatever I try, bbpress ignores my changes. I tried adding the new CSS to style.css in my child theme as well as adding it to Jetpack’s custom CSS. I did even add the extra code to functions.php in my child theme so that bbpress style could be overwritten without using !important. Using !important doesn’t work either. I really don’t know what else to try. My theme is not perfect for bbpress, so I need to tweak a few things.

When someone uses bbPress login on my forum page, it redirects them to then login to the main WP login page, which then sends them back to the site’s homepage….how do I just let them login and remain on Forum page??
