When I have a sub-forum in a forum the count of the topics is out for the parent. Basically sub-forums are counted as topics and not as forums. Could that be changed?

See screenshot. Oh no, I cannot upload a file? Is there a trac for bbpress?

Thanks,

I am using the

shortcode in the frontend. It creates a forum fine, when there is a parent chosen and a description put in. But it does not create a forum when I leave the description or the parent empty.
This seems odd, as in the wordpress admin area you are not forced to enter a description or choose a parent forum. There it creates a forum without parent and description.

Is there a way to disable this behaviour on the frontend and allow for “root” forums without a description?

Thanks,

I am new to bbPress development and have been searching for how to do this for a while now, so I figured I’d ask here.

I am wanting to display a loop of all of the forum categories on every page of the forum (as a type of navigation). I am able to display it in the forum root, but when it goes into a category, the loop becomes the forums rather than the categories.

In loop-forums.php, for example, I have the following code:

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>
<ul id="forum-subhead-nav">
<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum();

if (bbp_is_forum_category()) { ?>

	<li>
		<a class="bbp-forum-title button-link" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
	</li>
 <?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

I was wondering if someone can help me out so it loops all of the forum categories, and that doesn’t change depending on the forum.

Thanks

Hi,

We have multiple support forums for our customers (one for each theme we sell). I have tried to find a way to display the forum name on the notification email for which the new topic has been added. Does anyone know if theres a plugin or some customisation needed to do this.

Thanks

Hi there,

In phpBB there is a option to create a link, which looks like a forum.

E.g. On this page https://www.phpbb.com/community/index.php the second “forum” called “Area 51 Development Board” is a link.

Is there a plugin or option to create such a link in bbpress?

Thank you

Hello,

I’m currently using Yoast SEO for my site with bbPress installed. I’m having trouble figuring out why the SEO descriptions of the forums and topics show something “This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last update…”

Is there a way to show instead the content of the topic. If so, how do I do this with Yoast SEO. Yoast does have the “%%ct_desc_<custom-tax-name>%%” variable but I’m not sure how to change it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a plugin anyone is using to turn keywords into topics and replies to links to other pages in wordpress.

For example if had a forum about fish, and someone mentions “gold fish” I want that to automatically be turned into a link and go to a page I have about gold fish, etc…

I found plugins that are able to do this for posts, pages, and custom post types, but is anyone doing this with bbpress and if so, how?

I’ve got my sidebar activated, but it’s picking everything up from my Genesis theme, so it winds up looking like this:

I’d like to shrink the search box & button, and put the forums into a bulleted list. What css file does the sidebar use, and what tags am I looking for?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to sort a bit of a strange thing.

I’d like for every new user registered on my site, to automatically have their own forum associated to their account.

The idea is that as soon as a new user has registered they’ll be directed to a dashboard page that I’ve created. On that page, among other things, they’ll see a forum (probably called ‘My Forum’) that can contain any number of topics. But only that specific user can see that forum, each user will have their own. And only admins and the automatically assigned user and post in that forum. Users should not be able to see the other forums, only what’s inside their own. They also won’t see that there are several forums, because the page loading the forum will already have their own forum open – so they’ll simply see the topics posted in it.

It’s important to note that ever new registered user will be directed to the exact same dashboard page, so it’s important that the coding will automatically load their specific forum.

Hope that I haven’t made that explanation too complicated.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how to do it?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Florian

I’m having trouble and I’m not sure if this just can’t be done or I’m missing something basic.

I’m using wordpress 4.1.1 and bbpress 2.5.4. The set up I’m trying to achieve is anyone visiting the site (not registered) can view the forums, but can’t create topics or reply. Registered users can both create and reply to topics. Is there any way to do this?
