I’m building what while be a discussion board style website. I will embed a single forum through a shortcode in each/every post.
This will allow standard WordPress navigation and give each forum its own post/page.
I will not allow users access to any part of the natural bbpress forum hierarchy (categories/forums/subforums/etc.) and will use redirects to ensure that all requests for specific forums end up on the appropriate post/page that uses the embedded shortcode.
My question: Without the need to query numerous (potentially hundreds) of individual forums through traditional forum navigation, do I still need to spread the forums out among multiple categories/sub-categories when building the forums on the backend.
Remember, no user will ever need, nor get, access to the forum hierarchy/structure. ALL forums links will redirect to the appropriate post.
Having to create a needlessly complex hierarchy/structure is daunting and would make a mess for moderators to dig through.
Just curious. Appreciate any guidance in this matter.
Thanks,
Chad Schulz
And now I cant make new forum or fix it… The forum disappered from the dashboard. Only Topic and answears are left… How can I fix this??
I’m extending an existing WordPress theme with bbpress functionality. I’ve gotten everything up and running except I can’t seem to find the base template for search results to customize everything AROUND the BBPress search results code. It looks like by default it’s pulling from page.php or single.php, but I would like to use a more specific template for it. I’m not seeing anything in Extras that fits the bill.
Thanks to JJJ’s excellent plugin, I can now do what the basic bbPress said it would do, so that ‘spectators’ can read but not post to private forums. However, is there any way that I can set this as the default option, so that I don’t have to carefully edit the permission on every single user who subscribes?
Thanks
Alan

I’ve searched for hours trying to find a plugin or edit that would allow a user to preview topic text by mousing over the topic title or even having the first line or two of the topic text show up in the topic list but can’t find anything. Help?
hi,
I would like to create a custom div around two other existing divs, but which PHP file needs to be edit for that? Please have a look at the screenshot below. The orange div should be the custom div. The blue divs already exist.

With the custom orange div, I want to set one single background for the content of the blue divs.
Thank you for your help!
Hi,
I have bbpress installed on a multisite (network activated) but for some reason the CSS and JS is not being linked to properly. When looking for them the site is looking in http://roobla.com/var/sites/etc/etc/etc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js and /css/bbpress.css.
You can visit any page on my website (roobla.com) to see the JS like this in practice. I had to deregister and reregister the CSS but I’d prefer to not have to.
The network’s primary domain is cultiplex.com and Roobla is a subdomain.
Can anyone shed any light on what could be causing this, please?
Thank you for your help,
Sam
I’ve seen in other forums where avatars of user’s who created topic are shown as topic icons in the topic list view. So every topic has an avatar next to it.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Is there a setting that controls this or maybe a plugin? I’ve been searching and can’t seem to find a solution.
I am running WP at version 4.1.1 and bbpress at 2.5.6. I have one participant in the forum who continually gets an error message when he tries to submit a reply “Error: Unable to reply right now”
Other participants are not having the problem and I haven’t been able to recreate it.
