install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

still playing with this – am now chatting to one of the FSE advocates within wordpress – so hoping that we will make progress

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

so is this backend or front end you are talking about?

Not quite sure if this is the answer, but if a good looking bbpress is what you are after, then this should help

bbp style pack

ok, I’m playing around with some stuff, give me a while

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

if you want gutenberg in your actual topics and replies, this plugin does it

Blocks Everywhere

it requires you to add stuff to wp-config.

though frankly, you are then expecting everyone in the world to use the stupid + sign. Why gutenberg in not just ‘ms word’ is beyond me.

But anyway just threw that in as it came up as a result whilst trying to google to see if anyone has already done what we are trying to do

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

it would be good to get bbpress working with FSE.

I am guessing that we would need either a template part that is the forums, or a forum ‘block’ .

If you are deep enough into FSE to articulate how it might work, I could do some digging.

But yes, I have probably had to grapple with a dozen ‘editors’ that various clients have been using, most of which are far superior to FSE, so whilst I do use it on some simple non bbpress sites, I haven;t really tried to get it to do anything clever, or used an FSE theme.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

if you have one that is close, and can tell me if it could do xx, then quite happy to take a look at how easy to clone

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

presume you are familiar with all these

Shortcodes

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

my style pack has some code that fixes (sort of) FSE themes

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

If you want to look at code, then download the plugin to your computer and find

\bbp-style-pack\trunk\includes\functions_theme_support.php

I’m trying to avoid getting too deeply into FSE – I find it annoying, but appreciate that I am old and ludite, and that many find it fine or even great 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

thanks for confirming, yes I only put that change into the latest version 🙂 wording above amended to make that clear

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

plugins rarely make any difference to site performance, servers are too fast nowadays. But of course it is individual choice, and I have no desire to look judgmental.

Anyway hope you are all ok now, and enjoy your site 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

for others finding this thread – if you have the additional bbp-style-pack plugin – and why would you not have this 🙂

bbp style pack

then this fix is available at a single click – so not coding or other plugins needed.

once activated just go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack and click the theme support button

Can you add a ticket to the trac system

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

I spent a couple of hours yesterday hunting down the issue.

This code fixes it :

add_filter ('astra_single_layout_one_banner_visibility', 'astra_bbpress_fix', 50) ;

function astra_bbpress_fix ($value) {
	if( class_exists( 'bbpress' ) ) {
		if (bbp_is_single_user()) return false ;
		if (bbp_is_search()) return false ;
	}
return $value ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

great – glad to have helped

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 10 months ago]

Apologies for the delay is responding to this.

Assuming you are ok with FTP, then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

transfer this to your pc and edit to remove

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php esc_html_e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="100" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

		<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php esc_html_e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="200" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
		</p>

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above 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

Alternately if this all confuses you, I can do this as a plugin, but it would be a paid bit of work (but not expensive) – contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/
