    probably either a theme or plugin issue

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    That code works exactly as described.

    please check that you have exited and re-entered your browser to clear
    that you aren’t running any caching software
    That you have only changed ’40’ to ’80’ and saved and uploaded the change

    ok, so I need to be logged in to see it.

    Can you send me a login (only subscriber and spectator privileges please nothing else) via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk

    go into

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

    and edit line 141 to change ’40’ to whatever size you want.

    The avatar size is hard coded into the login widget.

    see

    bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

    around line 141

    You can change it directly in here, but keep a note of it, as it will be overwritten by upgrades. or if you have the skill, you could copy and create a new widget within your child theme

    if that doesn’t work, then out it in your theme’s style.css, but tag it as !important

    #bbpress-forums, #buddypress {
     clear: both !important;
     margin-bottom: 20px !important;
     overflow: hidden !important;
     font-size: 12px !important;
     padding:20px !important;
     background:rgb(10, 9, 9) !important;
    }

    in

    where is the bbpress.css files located, you should be doing

    •The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/

    bboress just uses wordpress registration and login, so any plugin that works for wordpress will work for bbpress.

    6 Useful WordPress CAPTCHA Plugins

    bbpress also rides on askimet to help prevent spam entries, just check that you have enable it within the forum settings.

    Unless your site has many new users, you could easily use manual registration, it takes less than a minute to set a user up in wordpress manually. That way you stop spammers dead in the water.

    can you send a link to your site and the page in question plaese

    In reply to: Breadcrumbs Styling

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    It is defined by your theme, as most of it are ‘links’ and your theme defines those

    you can use

    #bbpress-forums a:link

    but that will change the links throughout bbpress

    and you can use

    #bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb

    for anything that is not a link.

    ow !

    Hopefully the company have restored the database to back beyond your attempts to optimise it?

    If so it should have no errors. So if it has, they probably need to go back to an older version if they have one – many hosters don’t.

    Is it just forums entries that are missing???

    if so you could try

    dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums

    and when you do get it going again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t do stuff to a live site again.

    1. a few hours invested in a test site

    https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

    and you would not have lost your live site, and

    2. REGULARLY back your main site (the above tells you how) and you could have just restored that – hosting companies rarely keep much, and an issue found after a week can be fatal !

    Do come back for further help if needed.

    What caused the site to ‘crash’?

    @robin-w

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    just to jump in here

    bbporess 2.5.5
    wordpress 4.1.1
    Twentyten theme

    and no other plugins does not have this issue.

    Therefoere it is likely to be a plugin or theme issue

    as suggested by Robkk, suggest you

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    Most of the filters are held in the templates that are located as follows :

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php

    There are two typically filters, one on the final function usually within the ‘return’, and one that mimics wordpress’s ‘before’ filters
    from the docs

    Near the beginning of many functions we find :

    
    // Parse arguments against default values
        $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
            'before'            => '<ul class=&quot;bbp-forums-list&quot;>',
            'after'             => '',
            'link_before'       => '<li class=&quot;bbp-forum&quot;>',
            'link_after'        => '',
            'count_before'      => ' (',
            'count_after'       => ')',
            'count_sep'         => ', ',
            'separator'         => ', ',
            'forum_id'          => '',
            'show_topic_count'  => true,
            'show_reply_count'  => true,
        ), 'list_forums' );
     

    This is a common format throughout bbPress, and indeed is similar to a function used throughout wordpress.

    It uses a function called bbp_parse_args to create a filter against all the arguments.

    The filter created is in the format bbp_before_ followed by X followed by _parse_args The X is the third argument from the bbp_parse_args function – if you look at the code above you’ll see that it is actually
    bbp_parse_args ($args, Array(...), 'list_forums' )

    so in the last line we see list forums which is the X above . In practice this is the function without the bbp start bit.

    so an array filter for bbp_list_forums is bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args
    and for say bbp_get_topic_pagination would be
    bbp_before_get_topic_pagination_parse_args

    bbpress works as a plugin to wordpress, so you set up a wordpress site and add bbpress.

    the website declined to show you this page – permisisons issue – talk to your host provider about this

    basically you don’t with automatic registration.

    If it is a retirement home, so the users don’t need to register by computer remotely, then simply set them up using

    dashboard>users>add new and set up all their details including a password, and then either email it manually or just tell/give it to them.
