In reply to: Examples well regarded bbpress forumsIn reply to: New User RegistrationsPresume you are allowing automatic registration and posting?
There are things out there that will sign up and post to your forums – mainly advertising or weirdos.
They’ll just add spam to your site.
Not a problem if its occasional, could be if it becomes regular
I disable the toolbar for users – it always looks like an add-on and clashes with the theme style
I use a sidebar, and put the login widget on it.
I then customise the login widget as per item 3 of

In reply to: Very simple question — changing font sizecrzyhrse – I am in the process of trying to improve the documentation – I started using wordpress & bbPress earlier this year and am still learning. This is community software, and community documentation, so I am trying to do my bit by helping the documentation side, and by spending time on the forum helping others where I can. The step by step guides I am writing are designed to fit the bill of “cohesive simple directions”, but if they are failing or you haven’t found them, then they are not working as planned. Let me know and I’ll try to improve layout and/or content, but I need good feedback to do this.
The text change suggested by renai42 works (with a small change) if done to the bbpress.css.
Can I ask you to look at
and the styling cribI’ve just tested and added Renai’s css so look there for what to use.
If you can improve wording or content to help others – please let me know what could be better phrased.
If it doesn’t work, come back with what you did, and I’ll see if I can help further
In reply to: Help with getting the most out of bbpressbbPress can do all the above.
See
for a step by step guide.Can bbpress be configured to require registration before posting?
Yes, and you may want to set a manual registration if you want to vet who joins. The documentation explains.
Are there additional plugins?
Yes, lots of them that’ll let you add stuff to the forum and customise it for you
In reply to: Bread Crumbs not right?Sorry I can’t see any forums on your site now.
You can turn breadcumbs off using
function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) { return true; } add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');add this to your functions file in your theme/childtheme
In reply to: User profile link, only show username.Hey, Thanks for a great and detailed response, I’ll read it in detail later as off to earn a living, but I’ll be digging into it and the code tonight !
Thanks again – really helpful !
In reply to: Menu link to ProfileTested – I subscribed, but in profile it says
“subscriptions
You are not currently subscribed to any forums.”
So no that doesn’t seem to work.
@Stephen Edgar – any ideas 2.5 working in twentyten !In reply to: Menu link to ProfileJust upgraded my test site to 2.5, and with the twentyten theme I run, the profile link takes you to a page with
profile
topics started
replies created
favorites
subscriptions
editJust as it did before !
I use solution 1, so I have just added the oine to the new widgets file and uploaded it, and all works fine.
In reply to: Menu link to ProfileOk thanks I’ll take a look, but sounds like 2.5 has changed the way profiles are displayed
ie when you click an avatar it now goes to a smaller screen selection.In reply to: User profile link, only show username.I just followed the functions until I found these three filters:🙂Ok, so given that loop-single-reply has
bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false ) );How did you get from there to “I just followed…”?
I’ve never got into this area (have only been playing with wordpress since March this year, so am still a newbie), and would love to, but can’t find any tutorials that get you from a line on a display php to the backend function that creates it. I understand how a filter works (and that link is the best explanation I’ve seen so far!), but have you got a logical way to then backtrack to find out what you’re going to create a filter for? – I’ve looked through bbpress and there are lots of “function.php”s, the most obvious being bbpress/includes/common/functions.php, but a search for ‘bbp_get_user_profile_link’ comes up blank.
If you could explain how you get from a to b, I be really grateful !
In reply to: Change font type in forum-indexYou might need to play a bit, and come back if this either works or doesn’t, I’ve only had a quick look, and suspect there’s a much better way…but
You main theme uses ‘Helvetica Neue’,sans-serif and the forum is using Arial
I’m still on 2.4.1 so can’t tell you which lines you need in version 2.5
So in the bbpress.css file you’ve correctly copied to theme’s folder, do a search for “font-size” and where you find it, add a line
font: ‘Helvetica Neue’,sans-serif;
That will take it in common with the main theme’s font.
for instance
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 { background: none; border: none; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1em; margin: 8px 0; padding: 0; text-transform: none;you’d alter it to say
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 { background: none; border: none; font-size: 16px; font: 'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; line-height: 1em; margin: 8px 0; padding: 0; text-transform: none;In reply to: Edit topic reply, changes post orderIt shouldn’t do – just tested with bbPress 2.4.1 and editing by admin in either the dashboard or in the options when viewing the post doesn’t change it’s “published” date, which is what the forum uses as it’s display order.
Have you got any plugins or changes you’ve made that could affect this.
And.. has this just started happening and what version of bbPress are you on?
In reply to: Menu link to ProfileDiggories,
Some great tips there.
mm, the upgrade will have overwritten the change – as per first post
Of course you’ll need to make a note of this change, as it is lost whenever you upgrade bbpress versionsI haven’t upgraded yet, let me know if putting it back fixes it !
In reply to: Menu link to ProfileWhich of the solutions above did you use?
In reply to: BBpress Integration ShowcaseDid you create a separate .ccs file – if so, could you post it here (surround it with the code button) so that others can see what you did, and I’ll maybe use it in the official documentation as an example !
In reply to: BBpress Integration ShowcaseNice piece of integration !
In reply to: Author Posts Position messsed upNo I wasn’t able to check
In reply to: Advanced user registration.I think the plugin talked about membership form -, have you actually tried it?
Personally I just use cformsII plugin – google it and a video on how to set it up as its flexible but not very friendly initially – just create a form and then create a “register” page and put the short code in, and hook your login widget to it.
It does mean manual registration – ie you need to set each user up, but that lets me check who’s joining !
In reply to: User profile link, only show username.This may look a bit messy but without spending a lot of time
In loop-single-reply.php (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)
change line 45 which uses
bbp_reply_author_linkand use
bbp_get_reply_author_avatarto display the avatar andbbp_get_reply_author_id
to get the id – you’ll then need to play with maybebbp_get_reply_author()
putting the id in the bracketseg
bbp_get_reply_author(bbp_get_reply_author_id )should give you the username rather than display name
you’d then need to play with
content-single-topic.php for the forum lists (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)
In reply to: Author Posts Position messsed upCan you post a link to your site?
