I can’t remember it ever being asked 🙂

However after a bit of digging, this will change it

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'rew_change_shown' ) ;

function rew_change_shown ($args) {
	$args['mid_size'] = 8 ;
return $args ;
}

8 shows ‘8 +previous and next’ – so 10 – amend the number to whatever you want

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

This is because in the bbpress plugin there is a template called content-search.php. Many themes also now have a template file called content-search.php. Since the bbPress templates don’t necessarily need to be in a bbPress folder, the bbPress plugin is choosing the template from your theme before the template that is actually in bbPress.

To fix copy content-search.php from the bbPress plugin templates and place it in a child theme in a folder called bbpress.

Functions files and child themes – explained !

So create a directory on your child theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-search.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

written by me for free, and having no idea quite how your site is set up, or what settings within each plugin you are using, I cannot possibly say whether it will conflict. There are thousands of themes and tens of thousands of plugins – you will need to test. That’s kinda the deal with OSF software – sorry 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

your choice

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

thanks for posting your solution

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

hmmm…not sure what is happening – suspect it is theme related. But it would require extensive investigation to work out what is happening

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

wordpress themes can do funny things with bbpress.

It’s all to do with load order.

If it is working in the custom css, I’d leave it there

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

This is because your theme or a plugin is adding the bootstrap library, and also adding the ‘.card’ css class to the forum display, and this has a bad effect.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

forums belong to categories

if you just want one list, then just have forums and no categories

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

in that template you will see

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php _e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

just remove that – I think that should work

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

I think this plugin has that

bbPress Toolkit

It works with current versions of wordpress and bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

@danishsard

some great people wrote bbpress software for free, spent many many hours writing code, getting feedback, improving and supporting it – all for free and they did this for many years.

In the background they do work on bbpress form time to time.

That they now are mainly doing other things is sad for us, but they have a perfect right to do as they wish, and should feel under no obligation to spend time supporting the code.

Similarly I have written a number of plugins that do stuff in bbpress, and I support these as I am able to and when I have free time. I also do some support on here. But this is all voluntary, and there will come a time when I no longer wish to do so.

There are a number of things that bbpress could do differently – what you call ‘should be repaired’ – but that is just your view on how it should work, and no-one is under any obligation to do anything – that is how OSF software works.

I can replicate your issue of a non existent page, and when I get some time I may (or may not) look at how to fix this.

But please be thankful that free code is out there and make the most of what it does, not resentful of what it does not do.

is the word in moderation or blacklist ?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

Error – when wordpress can be used for the wordpress discussion. Someone will send a new topic with these words – it is automatically redirected to a non-existent page – this is a forum bug.

can you describe an exact series of stepsto get this error – I do not understand

The entire wordpress discussion settings should also work bbpress – and not just selected elements – that would increase the functionality of the forum at zero cost.

zero cost ?? – just a massive recode of bbpress taking many many hours!!! What bit is missing ?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

best I can suggest is

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

I can see, the theme renders before the forums.

you basically need to get your theme to render that page not using the .ast-col-md-6 css.

I can only suggest you refer to your theme support on how to do this

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

well you’ll need to work it out yourself then

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

try

#bbpress-forums .ast-col-md-6 {
	width: auto;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

it is because your theme has this set in a box

.ast-col-md-6 {
	width: 50%;
}

add this to your custom css

.ast-col-md-6 {
	width: auto;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

glad you’re fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

‘Even though bbPress’ documentation says that users with the Participant role can read private forums and topics, the current version of bbPress (2.5.14) allows participants to read private forum names, but not private topics names or content. ‘

sorry, can you explain further – what is not showing on what page ?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 4 months ago]

you will need to amend

li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
    display: none !important;
}

li.bbp-topic-title {
	width: 65% !important;
}

and play with the 65% number
