Hi there,
Forgive me for any newbie mistakes. This is my first post. I’ve created a forum page for my site here: http://www.juicefairies.com/forums/forum/fairieforum/ and all looks ok, but aside from not really knowing how to use the forum correctly (any suggestions for links to help/tutorials would be appreciated) I also can’t read the text on the header of the post (Should read Topic etc) because it is white lettering on a very gray-almost-white background. I am not sure how to change this as I don’t want the formatting to alter the entire website.

Last thing is, I don’t know how to change the layout of the forum at this point. I thought I could choose a layout to try and improve readability.

Grateful for a good point in the right direction!

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi all,

I have used the shortcode plugin to show the 5 most recent postings on another page. I want to edit the styling of this so it is more just the text rather than excess spacing. Is there a way to set this up?

I don’t want the forum header to show, I don’t want it to be so spaced, I don’t want the Viewing 2 topics view to show. So just the title of the topic, who it was started by, when it was added and preferably when it was last posted.

Oddly, my “page attributes” and even plug-ins don’t seem to work on my forum page.
I click “Template: Full page width” under Page Attributes, but the forum page doesn’t become full width.
I also have a plug-in remover for “Title Remover”, I select it, but the title “Forum” remains on top of my forum webpage.

Also odd (and maybe a clue) , when I navigate to the forum page, the “edit page” option is missing from the top wordpress navigation bar. It is present on all other pages.

I can still edit the page by going to the dashboard – pages – forum (edit page), but as stated above, the edits I do for Page attributes and plug-in selections don’t seem to take effect on the webpage.

Why might the page attributes and plug-ins not be working on the forum page?

Thanks

Hi. I recently installed bbPress along with the Material Gaze theme. I’m having a problem – the /forums/ page shows a line of gibberish with no clickable links. Here is a screenshot: http://s13.postimg.org/w1elw7g07/Untitled.png

I did try creating a new page with the [bbp-forum-indexx] tag (with 1 x) which worked flawlessly.
So here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to use a custom page (and put that shortcode there) for the forum main?
2. Is there a way to fix the forum index?

Thanks!

This is my scenario,

I create a private Forum of type category , then I create two public forums to type forum which are the children of that category forum. I get a nice category level organization, when I click on the url,

Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory.

But when I click on one of the forums :: Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory/ DummyForum1

all the posts that do not belong to that forum shows up. It means if I post in DummyForum2 or 1 or any forum, when I click Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory/ DummyForum1 , all the posts show up.

It can’t be by design ? Is this a bug ? Most likely some settings need to be changed in the bbpress I suppose , any idea ?

Just for additional details I am using code to add into the forum. I can get the parent child relations between the forums displayed properly, the insertion of the topic goes to the right parent forum. But then that bug shows up.

if (!function_exists('bbp_insert_topic')) {
            require_once '/includes/topics/functions.php';
        }

        echo "All fine here ??? Did it reached ";
        $forum_ID = $selectmyID;
        $terms = array(bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() => $key_pieces);
        // The topic data.
        $topic_data = array(
        'post_parent'       => $forum_ID, // forum ID of Projects  hard coded
        'post_status'       => bbp_get_public_status_id(),   // Subscribed users can see this
        'post_content'      => $my_content,
        'post_title'        => $slug,
        'comment_status'    => 'open',
        'menu_order'        => 0,
        'tax_input'         => $terms  
        );

        // The topic meta.
        $topic_meta = array(
        'forum_id'    => $topic_data['post_parent'],
        'reply_count' => 0
        );

        // NOTICE! Understand what this does before running.
        $post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
        bbp_stick_topic($post_id , true);                         // Making it super sticky !

        echo "The post id returned is " . $post_id;
        echo "Sucessfully inserted the post" . $slug . " programmatically !!!!";

Hello, I want to create something like this “http://www.freeride.se/admarket/” where you as an bbpress user have the possibility to sell an item. I don’t want the functionality like woocommerce or such. I don’t need the checkout and everything. I just want something where I can add a picture, put a description of the item, input the email address and maybe a telephone number. Does bbpress support this with some extension? I would like it to look at the link provided. Thanks!

Why isnt my bbpress sidebar not showing on my website. is there a theme issue? Any help is appreciated.

wp 4.4.2
bbpress version 2.5.8

Hello. I would like to create a topic in my forum with important informations and I would like that all the participants receive these informations without to subscribe to this topic (because some of them will forget). Do you know how to do that ? Thanks !

Trying to display fewer replies for mobile users.

Before getting to the mobile users ran into a problem that the following filter:

function mobile_replies() {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 10;
return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'mobile_replies', 10, 1 ); 

Works, but, it does not change pagination values in the view loop-single-topic.php problem is with the function bbp_topic_pagination()

For whatever reason it is not affected by filters.

In addition changing the rendering type to “list” with this function affects everything else, but not the pagination show in single forum view.

function bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {

	$args['type'] = 'list';
	$args['prev_text'] = '«';
	$args['next_text'] = '»';

	return $args;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'bbpress_custom_pagination' );
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_pagination', 'bbpress_custom_pagination' );
add_filter( 'bbp_replies_pagination', 'bbpress_custom_pagination' );

Any thoughts?

Probably adding filters to wrong functions

Okay….so I was on the WordPress forums thinking it was the bbPress forums….I know, I know. DUH!!

Complete NOOB here. I’m looking to create a forum based community.
I’m using Twenty Ten them and have started created my forum with bbPress.

I have a “Master Forum” with with sub-forums “North”, “Central” and “South”. It is displaying as:

Location
North (0, 0), Central (0, 0), South (0, 0)

I’m assuming the “(0,0)” after each sub-forum title is the number of topics and replies. I want to remove those on the main forum page so it looks like:

Location
North
Central
South

Any ideas?
