Have you tried changing the URL structure for bbPress?

Go to “Settings -> Forums” in the backend of WP and try changing the “forums base” & “forum slug” to something random. If the forum posts start to work then at least you know where the conflict is.

That’s annoying but at least we figured out what was wrong 🙂 . Good luck styling your new forum!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Hi

I can’t say what the best approach is but here’s what works for me.

I mainly wanted all my users on site 6 but I thought it would be good if they were members on all sites in case I added community features into the other 5 sites.

I ended up using this plugin Multisite User Management. Whenever you add a new user it will add it to as many of your sites as you like. Been using it for ages with no complaints, one of my favourite plugins.

Hope this helps

Hi Ian

glad I could help with what little knowledge I have 🙂

Yes it seems that those gravatar links are broken, it did the same for me. I ended up switching between the retro and identicon set, I don’t particularly like any of them though.

Unfortunately I haven’t seen a plugin or way to load your own custom avatar set but I would love to know if you ever find one!

Hi Rob

I had a look on your forum and there are no css rules for any link elements which is strange. Try adding this into your css file:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb a { color: #F6AC2C; }

That should make the breadcrumb links go yellow (as an example). If that works you just need to populate the css file with all the link colours manually which you can find by digging around with the code inspector.

If you want to change all link colours quickly and lazily you could just target every link within bbPress like this

#bbpress-forums a { color: #F6AC2C; }

Hope this helps

Hi. All the info you need is here: Theme Compatability

The basics are that you need to make a wordpress theme with bbPress support, so try to think of it as a wordpress theme not a bbPress theme.

bbPress is very flexible and you can theme it in multiple ways, the best starting point is that link I provided.

Hope this helps

This may sound obvious but have you tried changing the default avatar in /wp-admin ?

Go to Settings ->Discussion then change it to something else and check the members page again.

I don’t have the twentyten theme installed but you can find the location of the CSS using a code inspector (The built in Chrome one will do fine). Simply right-click the element in the web page, click inspect element and note the css location and properties.

From there you can manually overwrite the style in your own css file, or find the CSS file bbPress is using and edit it.

I can’t verify but i’m guessing the bbPress CSS for twentytwelve is here:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/style.css

or

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css
