BuddyPress theme with bbPress templates (26 posts)

Started 8 months, 4 weeks ago by: matuh

  • Profile picture of matuh matuh said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    Is there a Buddypress theme which has bbPress page templates built into it? I want to use bbPress forum together with BuddyPress, but the default theme has not bbPress page templates.

  • Profile picture of @mercime @mercime said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    Just to clarify, the bbPress you’re referring to is the plugin, right? Because bp-default theme and BP themes in WP repo and premium do already add pages/style for internal bbPress forum bundled with BuddyPress.

    Yes, I’m talking about the bbPress plugin.

  • Profile picture of matuh matuh said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    Or is there an other way how to setup a forum like this into BuddyPress?

  • Profile picture of matuh matuh said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    Like this I ment: http://testbp.org/discussion/

    when you use bbPress with BuddyPress default theme it has the the same theme that is on testbp.org.

  • Profile picture of matuh matuh said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    Yes, but it doesn’t show bbPress links. It seems that they have modified it.

    Testbp runs unmodified versions of BuddyPress and bbPress development versions

    Then I have no idea why my forum pages are not showing up :S

  • Profile picture of matuh matuh said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    Somehow I got to show the forum main page, but all the forums and topics are now redirected to Group Forums Directory. I do not want to use groups forums. What could be the problem?

  • Profile picture of matuh matuh said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:

    I’m going crazy here. Where can I get instructions how to create a forum page like this: http://testbp.org/discussion/ ? I have searched everywhere. I have asked from the admins in testbp, but no answer. It is not possible that there is no help how to set up this kind of forum.
    Does anybody know who has set up this forum? How is this done? Are they using bbPress Wordpress plugin or is it a standalone bbPress forum installation that is integrated into WP and BB?
    Any help is appreciated!

    On the plus side, I am one of the admins on testbp. It’s probably because bbPress 2.0 tries to use “forums”, and BuddyPress also tries to use “forums”. BuddyPress must be winning.

    Try going to wp-admin > Settings > Forums, and set the “Forums base” and “Topics base”. There’s also a page called “discussion”. I’ve not used bbPress 2.0, so I’m not really sure. @johnjamesjacoby will know!

    Thank you Sofian! The shortcodes helped me out.

    One more thing with this theme. http://testbp.org/discussion/ has drop down menus. Is it using a plugin for that? I read from some forum that drop down is soon integrated into BuddyPress default theme, but it was 9 months ago. Isn’t it still integrated?
