Hello,
Has anyone been successful at using bricks on a site that uses bbPress. I am trying to convert a site to Bricks/ACSS but stay stuck with bbPress.
When using Gutemberg the only thing that is needed to get the forum working is to place the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.
The resulting output will automatically navigate to the sub-forum, topics, and responses staying aware of the context.
When using bbPress with Bricks I can get the initial forum listing to display, but when we click on the forum the page loads with only the description and image of the forum, not showing the list of topics or answers.
Tried to use other bbPress shortcodes but non work correctly.
Tried to exclude the forum page in the template condition, but it did not help. Did anyone find a way to make it work? What am I missing?
I have been able to make it work, somewhat by forcing the page to be "Render with WordPress
This shows the Bricks default Header and Footer, but I don’t know where WordPress template comes from (Title and not showing the feature image and Excerpt). Do you know if there is a way to work access that template?
bricks doesnt support theming the bbpress.
bbpress template files comes from the plugin.
I can think of some ways to do it. but those ways are pretty advance 
bbpress is just a bunch of post types that’s it.
you can manipulate some of the archive/forum homepage and archive/forum categories with bricks templates if you want to.
Are there any alternative forums that do work well with bricks?
Yes, indeed theming of bbPress happens within the plug-in, and I do have this part under control, more or less 
But what is happening is that bricks is “wrapping” the content generated by the plugin by adding a the header section (good), a h1 containing the title (bad or insufficient) before the plug-ins and the footer after the plugin.
To be more accurate it is adding the content of the page defined in Gutenberg as i have to go through the wordpress component processed by wordpress for the plugin to work. Using the bbPress shortcode directly in Bricks does not work as described earlier.
Where is the instruction to add the H1 coming from? Can i modify that instruction to add the excerpt, feature image and some csss?
you cant change anything in bbpress unless you create the template files in the child theme or something. coding needed.
check this out
and this

2 way to do it rebuild the archives, loops and bbpress pages with brick templates or bbpress templating in the bricks child with .PHP files.
other than that you can only make some CSS changes with custom css.
if you need forum you dont have to use bbpress for example check this site
this is just normal posts with comments

with front end posting you can build your own forum with bricks easily too.
Thank you for the resource, I will investigate.
We are probably stuck with bbPress. This project is a conversion job, not green field. It would be a pain to transfer years of forum activity…
I was also looking for documentation for Bricks Builder + BBPRESS. It is the most lightweight and extensible forum plugin, and has been further upgraded with BBPcore to become more active.
My error is that the BBPRESS front form cannot be written to in Bricks.
So I tried the advanced editor plugin, but it doesn’t load.
Error was discovered in Query Monitor plugin. How to improve?
_load_textdomain_just_in_time
called by mistake. Translations for bricks domain loaded too quickly
PHP 8.2.26
WP 6.7.1
Bricks 1.11.1.1
Is there no choice but to switch from BricksBuilder to Elementer?
there is nothing wrong with bricks or bbpress
query monitor is used for detecting performance or coding functions issues usualy to optimize your code or your speed.
what is your goal what are you trying to do ?
what are you trying to build ?
do you know how bbpress post types and taxonomies and bricks query loops works ? it is really easy to make bricks builder + bbpress work together. not ideal but possible. I am not sure if any builder out there fully supports bbpress.
BUT best way to implement bbpress is using a bbpress supported theme not builders. thats how I did in the past.
implementing a simple forum is not that hard btw. if you know how to implement a secure proper front end posting form rest is just post types, comments and taxonomies thats it. nothing special.
ws forms, ninja forms, WP Shuffle forms …etc list goes on and on. experiment a bit learn some post types, taxonomies and frontend form posting. rest is just listing the topics and comments …etc
Thank you for your advice. In conclusion, I am currently testing using all three at the same time.
Theme
Elementor bbpress theme Docy
https://wordpress-plugins.spider-themes.net/bbp-core-pro/
Bricks builder
Used for pages other than BBPRESS
plugin
Multiple Themes
Now, what do you think about using BBPRESS with Elementor and running other pages with Bricks?
Since Elementor Pro is slow to operate, I would like to use BBPRESS only with Bricks, do you have any ideas?
