i have got bbpress working fine with subforums. perfect !

What is annoying is the flat groups in buddypress.

check the site i have all my main groups created.

What I need to do is create sub forums under these main groups.

like this:

clothes (group)
clothes (group)/accessories(sub-group)
clothes (group)/accessories(sub-group)/backpack(sub-group)/mad oakley padded backpack GHS88282 (topic)
clothes (group)/accessories(sub-group)/belt

the edu-bb BBpress theme only work in standalone installation and not compatible with
buddypress.

also the subforum creation..is it from bbpress admin or buddypress integration forum created?

This forum did not seem to work at all

I have structured my forum to have 5 layers, one day even 8.

It is organised, and serves it purpose for now.

(Q1.) So, are you saying that the theme cant handle 5 layers? (Q2.) or is it bbpress cant handle 5 layers?

I am happy to move these forums, if I could organise and still have a navigation tree...

(Q3.) Do you know if a buddypress plugin will ever be available to create sub-groups? (Q4.) or group forum sub forums?

Cheers

Johnny

the latest version should have fix the sub forum issue.

@johnny
seem like the mp3 had multiple parent
http://tradr.com/forums/forum/mp3

if you check the link

Tradr Community Forums » Tradr Shops » Stuff for Sale » Electronics » Audio » Personal » MP3

where it should be like

Tradr Community Forums » Audio » MP3

is it the permalink issue...recheck if the mp3 were under the 5 layer parent forum.

cheers

Any update on this?

I am getting the above too

ALSO

When I create a child forum with the 'category forum' unticked it displays no child forums

see example

I know this is old post but it is the same issues

Thanks for your suggestions, Aaron! Unfortunately, I have once again demonstrated to myself that I should stay out of .css files for all but the most trivial adjustments.

James, have you had a chance to look at this? I'm getting close to a point where it will be especially helpful.

Essentially you can use the bb_forum_class() and/or bb_get_forum_is_category() functions.

Check out the default theme source. I had to modify the same to add a special class.

I see lots of plugins have been updated recently. Any progress on this issue?

Sounds like a fix we need to make - we don't use parent / child forums.

Can you provide a link and we'll see about providing you with some extra CSS for this.

On The Edublogs Forums bbPress Theme, I created a parent forum and checked 'Forum is Category'. I then added a child forum a level below the parent.

Everything looks fine in bbPress admin with the child forum indented below the parent forum as expected.

However, on the front-side, the list of forums on the left shows both parent and child forums at the same level. From the child forum, one can create new posts and comments. From the parent forum, clicking on 'Add New' does nothing.

So, the "Forum is Category" that I believe is supposed to be a container for child forums (correctly) doesn't allow new posts. However, it is displayed in a way that one would believe they should be able to post. Furthermore, there is no indication of any relationship between parent and child.

In the screenshot, "BestAgentBlogs Academy" is the parent and "QSBAB Discussions" is the child.
