In reply to: A Guide to bbPress
Thank you Robin 🙂
Anything you would like expanded upon or think people should know?
In reply to: BBPress Widgets on category.php errorDoes this happen if you switch to a default theme?
In reply to: How can we 'hide' subforum (categories) in forums?If you want to achieve a hierarchy like this:
- Continent - Country one - Country two -Continent two - Country oneThen I would suggest setting up the continents as categories and the countries as forums. If you hide the countries how does the user get to the country forum to post a topic? Or do you give them a direct link or something?
Sorry my bad, I moved stuff around and forgot to add a redirect back in, sorted now thanks for the heads up Mycelus!
In reply to: Add a Class to my Body Tag using the Forum TitleThis is what you will need to use to actually add a class to the body class. You could look at getting the post by the get_queried_object(); function in WordPress and then getting the title of that object. After that you could then use the sanitize_title_with_dashes($forum_title); to get a safe class name.
Please note I haven’t fully tested the code below and i’m not sure the $forum_object->post_title; will work but it get’s you moving in the right direction 🙂
<?php $forum_object = get_queried_object(); $forum_title = $forum_object->post_title; $forum_class = sanitize_title_with_dashes($forum_title); ?> <body <?php body_class($forum_class); ?>>Good luck!

Hi Mycelus,
I would recommend trying to gain a little css knowledge if your up for the challenge as it can get a lot done with WordPress and bbPress. Even just by hiding things with display:none or positioning things absolutely to get them in the right place.
If you want to try and get the look and feel of phpbb or ipboard then you could take a look at the bbPress starter theme I created. It gets you onto a good footing with the layout and then you can go onto styling the colours from there.

You can also find the topic about it here on bbPress: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/.
Good luck! 🙂
In reply to: Is it worth it?The great thing about bbPress compared to other forum software is that you can get it up and running pretty quick, do some testing to see if it is worth while and if it isn’t just deactivate the plugin.
Awesome that’s great, thanks Stephen!
In reply to: Why is bbpress removing the "Save Draft" button?Drafts for forums is kind of against what they are for, you send your message into the discussion at the point you arrived at the discussion. If you save a draft then publish it later it could be irrelevant at that point. You could be using bbPress for something different than a forum, but it is effectively forum software.
Not sure if anyone else has any differing opinions on this?
In reply to: bbPress Test DataAwesome thanks! 🙂
In reply to: bbPress Test DataI haven’t forgotten about that WXR file. Well ok I did :p but would still be cool.
In reply to: Alt install when not working with theme?If you are able to test it with a default theme and the issue doesn’t occur then most likely your theme. It’s good to test so you don’t waste your time trying to fix something that could not be broke 🙂
If it is a premium theme you might be able to get some support from them.
In reply to: Bbpress Avatar Size Changing?It could be a css issue, or it could be to do with the theme. It’s difficult to tell if it’s not css without a link to your site.
You can use chrome and right click the avatar and inspect to see if their is any differences in css styles.
In reply to: Posts don't display within topcisTry the repair tools in the admin area. Tools > bbPress
In reply to: Loreschool.com – A Guild Wars 2 guildTo get separate categories have you tried creating a main forum, then assign sub forums to the main forum. Then the sub forums will display in a list underneath the main forum.
You can then use some css to separate the look of the forums.
In reply to: Forums under categories alignment?You can use css to make the list items
li { display:block; }You need to target it with specific class or ids though.
Good luck!
The idea with the full WordPress with bbPress integration is that you can enable/disable certain features.
Some themes already come with a breadcrumb so being able to disable the bbPress one via a tickbox in the admin section would be quite handy, same goes with disabling the sidebar via a tickbox.
I’ll take a look at your theme later see what I can see, at quick glance I’m not too sure what is happening.
In reply to: redirect loop while using post-name as permalinkDoes it affect the whole site or just the forum?
In reply to: redirect loop while using post-name as permalinkHave you tried going to the permalinks page to flush the permalinks? This fixes some redirection/404 type stuff.
In reply to: Entire forum 404's – tried everything!!!A couple of things that made my forums 404 in the past:
– Pages in the trash which have conflicted with forum permalinks
– Needing to resave the permalinksIf you enable permalinks does the site itself behave normal? Or does the pages start to 404 too.
Hey all,
Great to hear you are working on your websites 🙂
I am slowly working on a couple of new themes for bbPress and a full WordPress theme as well. The problem with just doing a bbPress theme is that I have no control over what the sidebars class or ids are so it makes it a bit problematic to remove them.
Good luck and keep on building!
In reply to: Help with Post Content Div Edting.post-content #bbpress-forums p#bbpress-forums is inside .post-content by the look of it?
In reply to: Alt install when not working with theme?I would recommend trying to get your theme working with bbPress, in the long run it will be a lot cleaner and easier for you to manage.
Is there anything in particular which is not working with your current theme?
In reply to: bbPress is extremely slow for large forumsJust out of curiosity what does your site score on: gtmetrix.com
