If you are working with bbPress or are thinking about using bbPress as your website’s support forum, I would highly recommend becoming familiar with the following shortcodes for displaying your forum content. We created this directory as a result of our own difficulties in trying to work with what bbPress documentation there is available. Unfortunately, it seems there is not a lot of effort being put into the current bbPress site. bbPress 2.0 has a lot of potential and we wanted to offer some guidance to get you started, because we love the WordPress community.
Note: These shortcodes are for bbPress 2.0.
Forum Shortcodes:
[bbp-forum-index]- Displays an index/archive of all forums. See Example[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]- Displays topics for a single forum. Replace $forum_id with the forum ID that you want to display. See Example
Topic Shortcodes:
[bbp-topic-index]- Displays an index/archive of all topics. See Example[bbp-topic-form]- Displays a Create New Topic form. See Example[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]- Displays posts for a single topic. Replace $topic_id with the post ID that you want to display. See Example
Topic Tags:
[bbp-topic-tags]- Displays a tag cloud of all topic tags. See Example[bbp-single-topic-tag]- Displays specific topics within a given single tag.
Topic Reply Form:
[bbp-reply-form]- Displays a topic reply form. Note: To work correctly this needs to displayed on a specific top id. See Example
Single Topic View:
[bbp-single-view]- Displays topics associated with a specific view.
Account:
[bbp-login]- Displays the login screen. Note: Only required if users have to register to access forums. See Example[bbp-register]- Displays site registration form. Note: Only needed if users have to register to access forums. Submit button needs to be added manually. See Example[bbp-lost-pass]- Displays fields to retrieve lost password. Note: Only required if user have to register to access forums. See Example
This directory is a collection gathered from the bbPress.org site. If you have any issues or errors when using them, be sure to take a look at bbPress Support Forum or let us know below.
Amazing! I am always searching for shortcodes for plugins like this. Thanks Brady
No problem. I felt the same.
I am trying to set my forum up so that instead of the reply form being on the same page as the topic it is on a separate page and there is just a “post reply” button on the topic page. I have been able to add the button and link it to a page that has only the reply form on it but when I try to submit a reply I get the following errors:
ERROR: Topic ID is missing.
ERROR: Forum ID is missing.
Is it possible to do what I am trying to do? If so how do I do it? Seems like I need to be able to tell the reply form page the Topic ID and Forum ID but I don’t know how to go about it. Can you help me? I have been searching all over but no luck. The bbpress site seems about useless, there isn’t hardly any documentation.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I really, really wish there was an answer to this. I’ve been searching for this as well. It’s pretty easy to find the short codes that you need to use, however nobody seems to want to tell us how to use them.
Everything I’ve seen on the topic seems to be wrtten for people who already know how to do it!
Hey there, all you have to do is go to the post or page you want to display these shortcodes on and paste the shortcode inside the editor. Then hit publish or update on that page and you’ll see the content on the front-end.
Maybe we’re not following what you’re asking though. Does that answer your question?
I really don’t see the reason to use BBpress over a third party forum for WordPress such as Vanilla. It lacks documentation and it’s so much work to do the simplest things with BBpress. For a forum plugin supposed to be FOR WordPress, just getting it to fit into your theme is complicated and the amount of template files needed is ridiculous.
I use it for one site but It’s not user friendly at all.
If you use shortcodes for bbpress, then do you still have to follow the setup procedures they outline? I have buddypress on my site for my community. And I want to use bbpress for may classifieds section. I don’t want my topic posts to flow into the activity stream in buddypress. I want the community and classifieds to be separate. Would using shortcodes to set up bbpress prevent this? If so, then what is the best method for setting up bbpress with shortcodes?
How would you go about customising the output of the shortcodes. In the [bbp-login] example above how would you add the “Whoa there Cowboy . . .” title of the output? In my set up there is no title, just a plain login box. I can style it with css but how to deal with the wording?
I have a problem… I installed bbpress Version 2.1.2 into the latest wordpress version… when I visited the forums page (mywebsite.com/forums/) the forum i created showed up… browsed through and on clicking the user profiles, I didn’t quite understand how the profile links worked so i went ahead to install this plugin “Disable bbPress Profile Override” and activated it… Now, when i visit “mywebsite.com/forums/” it shows a blank page… the forum doesn’t show up… all I see now is just blank pages… I have disable the plugin “Disable bbPress Profile Override” even deleted it, I have changed the them to 2010 and yet same, I have disabled the bbpress plugin, enabled, deleted, re-installed and yet nothing’s showing up on my forums page…. I’ve looked around and tried everything I could and yet my forums page is still showing me a blank page…
I don’t really know what to do and also what caused this…
Please kindly help me.
Thanks
Samuel
Am greatful for this bbpress tutorial, it really help me
thanks
my problem is to display the many sub-forums I have under the main forum page buddypress page.
they do not show with shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
I got them by doing custom links on the menu, but not form this main single page who only display topic so far.
IS there a shortcode for the search widget? I’d like to create a page with the search widget directly above the forum directory list. thanks!
Anyone know best practice for getting breadcrumbs correct.
I have the main forum setup at /forums/ and the topics etc.. all display correct breadcrumbs.
However, when I setup a custom page (for instance to post a topic), the breadcrumbs don’t display the forums as parent. Now, I imagine if I created a custom page for the forums and used a shortcode, then made that the parent for new topic, I would have correct breadcrumbs.
But that shouldn’t be required as I have the forums setup correctly already. Any thoughts?
Thanks
