I want it as a teaser, so people will join the site to read the forum posts. They show private groups on the activity page, is that silly?

Thanks for the links

[Hugo Ashmore]

Also important to bear in mind that as of 1.7 the old BP bbPress integration to groups of a basic striped down forum offering is removed and ALL forum capabilities are handled by bbPress standalone plugin which offers a far better forum experience from the point of view of BP groups, so please take a moment to read through the codex on this subject to familiarise yourself with how forums work with BP.

@notpoppy,

remeber that you can install group forums AND a separate forum.

@b1gft,

the silly answer would be: make them public !

Private is private. Even group discussions.

A tech answer probably sit here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2576
And at least, the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/group-settings-and-roles/

[danbpfr]

@notpoppy,

the answer is YES.

bbPress is a forum plugin that can be used separetly from buddypress. If you need extra features, bbPess has also some plugins.

Learn more about this plugin here: https://bbpress.org/

@ubernaut Sorry I don’t really understand your reply.

What I want to know is, is BBPress something I can just install on top of my current set-up which will add extra features to my existing group forums?

WP/BP forums? Single or multisite installation?

[@mercime]

@danny80 You can list all the forums in a page by using the forums shortcode [bbp-forum-index] – This will display your entire forum index https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

bbPress plugin support at https://bbpress.org/forums/

Thanks i changed it in the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css after checking out the bbpress forum. Cheers.

[Hugo Ashmore]

You’re would to need to find this ruleset:
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: #000;
}

and change the background color as demonstrated but it’s going to be a little trickier than that probably requiring you to copy the bbpress stylesheet to your theme to modify.

This though is a question for bbPress forums not BuddyPress bbp is a separate plugin from BP and has it’s own styles. You will find more info and help on their forum.

[danny80]

Thanks for the help, can You help me to find solutions for the followings:
1- I want to show all my forums listed in one page with login widget on the sidebar
2- where should I find the widget or shortcode for lost password.

Thanks

[Hugo Ashmore]

In fact you have posted on this sidebar issue 14 hours ago so please continue in that thread now not this one:

@latenightbeeradvocate You have hijacked someone else’s thread here, this is considered bad form on tech forums and confusing as a response is still awaited from the OP.

In future please don’t hijack threads start your own and describe the issues you are having particular to your site.

[mattg123]

Hi, I’m having issues similar to @isisjade

can I confirm that bbpress, will handle group forums as well as main forums on its own? I have disabled the discussion forum component of buddypress, and the group forums r still active with just bbpress running.

thanks

[Andres Felipe]

Hi @mercime, Yes that is the plugin I’m using but I’m not sure about the problem would be because of it. I deactivate it and the problem remains.

Anyway, I’ll try their support forums.

Thanks for your reply!

[@mercime]

@chouf1 🙂

[@mercime]

@naturalworldstm there are a couple of BP media plugins. Are you referring to https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/ ? if so, please also post at their support forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-media

[virtualsouq]

@mercime. Thank you so very much!

[@mercime]

@virtualsouq yes

I had just come across a thread yesterday on the BuddyPress site about how to edit our header, footer, etc. PHP files so that BuddyPress would work

@nasc generally, that would be the case if you were still on BP 1.6.5 or below. BP 1.7 beta and RC versions should automagically insert BP template files into your theme if your theme adheres to the WP templating system otherwise it won’t work.

One way to resolve this is to create a file named buddypress.php which you would need to upload your theme’s folder in server. buddypress.php should contain the HTML structure of a page with sidebar or full-width (up to you and the theme author) as well as the_title() and the_content()

As an aside, if you’re going to have bbPress sitewide/group forums, you would need a bbpress.php file as well. Copy the content of the buddypress.php file into bbpress.php and upload the latter into theme’s folder in server as well.

[@mercime]

@equinestaff contact theme author of Scholar theme or check out their forums, you might need to update the theme. Not quite sure, but it could just be a matter of updating the JS file.

[@mercime]

@sandeepandugula please also post at plugin’s support forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-profile-search

EDIT – I see you posted there but in a resolved thread. Please start a new thread in that forum so your issue would get the attention it deserves. Thanks.

[@mercime]

@kasarlaravi That would entail some modifications to your template files. BuddyPress 1.7 is coming out soon and you would be able to import BP’s internal Group Forums into bbPress plugin where that functionality is available by default.
