In reply to: Forum ErrorThis is a recent issue with wp4.0, and there is a bug fix outstanding for this.
The Issue
This gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1
Three wordarounds
1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings
Dashboard>settings>permalinks
The most often used is ‘postname’
This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.
2. revert to 3.9.2
see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lX3E-qIpJM
for quite a good video on how to do it
3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums
and keep monitoring this site for a solution.
In reply to: Full Width Forum Pagesthat’s a bit of styling needed
add
#bbpress-forums {
margin: 25px !important;
width: 960px !important;
}to your theme’s style sheet, or preferably to your child theme
In reply to: Full Width Forum PagesSorry, you’ll need to explain what the remaining issue is – it’s probably obvious to you, but not to me looking at the links.
Please explain rather than just posting links 🙂
In reply to: Change Forum ID for a Given TopicThe forum is held as the post_parent in wp_posts
so you would update this
eg
// Update topic 37 $my_post = array( 'ID' => 37, 'post_parent' => 27 ); // Update the post into the database wp_update_post( $my_post );where 27 is the id of the parent forum
In reply to: CSS PluginDevelopers: please… design a simple plugin for people like me. A very-simple-plugin that allows me to change colors, fonts and two or three things more. I would be help a lot to BBPress users than don’t know how to use CSS.
It’s on my list of things to do when I get some time – agree it would be really useful, but I need to learn a bit more about how to get plugins to write css !
In reply to: Full Width Forum PagesOk, you’ll need to copy this and rename it bbpress as per the above
As this is a theme file, I’m having to guess a bit about what it is doing, so this may or may not work.
So once you have this as bbpress.php
delete
$is_page_builder_used = et_pb_is_pagebuilder_used( get_the_ID() );and replace it with
$is_page_builder_used = TRUE ;come back and let us know if that works
In reply to: Show forum description in forum listGreat – glad you’re fixed !
Sorry, no immediate way to style it, the words use the font size and other styling from the bbp-reply-author class.
I’ll look to add this ability in the next version
In reply to: Full Width Forum PagesYou need to get bbpress to use the full width template
In reply to: How to start a new topicclick a forum subject on the left hand side
eg installation, troubleshooting
Now at the bottom of the page there will be a new topic area.
Yes I know a ‘new topic’ button on the left would be great, I’m just a humble contributor here !
In reply to: Make topic only visible to author and mod.Try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
which I pretty much wrote following this and other requests for that sort of functionality
In reply to: Replies section gives 404 errorgreat – glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Online Magazine ThemeGreat – I do hate that them authors won’t write variants of themes for no-sidebar/1 sidebar/2 sidebar, it would make life so much easier 🙂
In reply to: Online Magazine Themeok, I downloaded the theme and had a play
you need to create this file as bbpress.php
<?php global $theme; get_header(); ?> <div id="main"> <?php $theme->hook('main_before'); ?> <div id="content2"> <?php $theme->hook('content_before'); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); /** * Find the post formatting for the pages in the post-page.php file */ get_template_part('post', 'page'); if(comments_open( get_the_ID() )) { comments_template('', true); } endwhile; else : get_template_part('post', 'noresults'); endif; ?> <?php $theme->hook('content_after'); ?> </div><!-- #content --> <div id="sidebar-primary"> <?php if(!dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-bbpress')) { /** * The primary sidebar widget area. Manage the widgets from: wp-admin -> Appearance -> Widgets */ $theme->hook('sidebar-bbpress'); } $theme->hook("sidebar_primary_after"); ?> </div><!-- #sidebar-primary --> <?php $theme->hook('main_after'); ?> </div><!-- #main --> <?php get_footer(); ?>Then in your style.css you need to add the following to the bottom just above the
/* =END#content2 { float: left; overflow: hidden; width: 630px; }That should do it
In reply to: Online Magazine Themesorry…
<? get_sidebar(); ?>should read
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>In reply to: logging out displays odd error messagetry using the method shown here
In reply to: Remove Users From Topic Overviewyou have a smart theme that is displaying that, which someone has customised.
can you look in your theme and see if you have a folder here
wp-content/themes/eighties/bbpress
If you have can you list the files held there
In reply to: New users unable to register!?bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be 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.

In reply to: UNDEFINED Header. . .Try method 2 !
In reply to: UNDEFINED Header. . .how are you accessing this page – which of these is it?
In reply to: Customise 'Create New Topic' form fieldsok,
In your theme create a bbpress directory
wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress
where %yourtheme% is your theme name
Then copy the following file to that folder
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/template/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
So you end up with
wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress/form-topic.php
You can then edit this file, and bbpress will use this version.
In reply to: Replies section gives 404 error@editor-mike – sorry do you have a problem after deleting 100 replies at a time?
In reply to: Show forum description in forum listI think this should do it. It’s from my library of code and haven’t used it in a while, so come back if it’s not what you want
You’ll need to add it to your functions file
//This function adds descriptions to the sub forums function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) { // Define used variables $output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = ''; $i = 0; $count = array(); // Parse arguments against default values $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array( 'before' => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">', 'after' => '</ul>', 'link_before' => '<li class="bbp-forum">', 'link_after' => '</li>', 'count_before' => ' (', 'count_after' => ')', 'count_sep' => ', ', 'separator' => ', ', 'forum_id' => '', 'show_topic_count' => true, 'show_reply_count' => true, ), 'list_forums' ); // Loop through forums and create a list $sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] ); if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) { // Total count (for separator) $total_subs = count( $sub_forums ); foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) { $i++; // Separator count // Get forum details $count = array(); $show_sep = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : ''; $permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID ); $title = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID ); $content = bbp_get_forum_content($sub_forum->ID) ; // Show topic count if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) { $count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID ); } // Show reply count if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) { $count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID ); } // Counts to show if ( !empty( $count ) ) { $counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after']; } // Build this sub forums link $output .= $r['before'].$r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'].'<div class="bbp-forum-content">'.$content.'</div>'.$r['after']; } // Output the list return $output ; } } add_filter('bbp_list_forums', 'custom_list_forums' );
