In reply to: Reply threading issueYou can completely remove the code and I think it will fix some other issues being present with margins and padding.
In reply to: Reply threading issueThis is the CSS causing the issue.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content { clear: both; margin: 10px; padding: 0; }The reason why when reply threading is enabled fixes the issue is because the list .bbp-body self closes and makes the above CSS not work.
Here is the ticket about the reply threading markup bug.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2757
You can use this custom CSS to fix the issue.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content { clear: none; }This is for the ranking images right?? Did you ever try what I suggested in the other topic with using something similar to this code this user has posted?? All you have to do is replace the svg tag code with an img tag with the link to the images you want to use.

In reply to: Define WP theme is bbPress ready/compatible?If you placed a shortcode in a page, you do not have to add the forum index shortcode to a page but instead use the default forum root url /forums. If you did use a custom index page using the shortcode, editing the forum root slug in Settings > Forums to be the same as custom index page’s slug should help with the breadcrumb thing.
You can always create custom menu links if the pages are not in the menus section.
In reply to: Where is RSS for topics?This might be another bug or something isn’t quite there yet haha. There is suppose to be some content.
In reply to: User can’t see forumsGlad you solved your own issue! 🙂
In reply to: Reply threading issueInteresting it would usually be having reply threading on that could cause a css like issue, but yours is the opposite.
Can you link to your site to a topic with reply threading off so I can see what could be causing the issue. It could be some CSS related issue.
You can test to see if this still happens with another theme activated too.
It could be a bbpress/theme related issue.
Since your theme is a premium theme it might be best to contact the theme author that you purchased the theme from for some help for this.
In reply to: User capabilities : delete topicsI tested out the patch and it works pretty well for a custom user role I created. I just used the tutor role mentioned in this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/ and it worked when I created and switched to that test user.
Make sure to not touch the core plugin files again. This was a simple thing to do which is not bad, but something else might cause further conflicts.
In reply to: Register/Profile Links & Other1. How do I set up my site to where people can log in with a WordPress / Gravatar account?
Jetpack has a module in it for users to login using their wordpress.com account, if that is what you want.

2. The profile page title does not show up and using the Yoast plugin I can’t find any way to target it. Any advice?
You have to use a filter and use custom code to customize the titles. Here is an example of some custom code to that that type of thing for some of the profile pages.
3. What’s a good plugin to use for things such as easy navigation for users?
It depends on what exactly you want. I really do not have any opinions on this type of thing, but it depends on how the rest of your site is set up and the look you are going for.
In reply to: Search not working properlyDownload this bbpress.php file and place it in the root of your child theme to fix most of the theme issues you are seeing.
In reply to: User capabilities : delete topicsI think you guys can just hot-patch the issue until the bug is fixed in core and so you guys do not mess with any other core code to cause any other possible issues.
In reply to: Approve topic before it appears?Yeah I think bbp moderation is the only bbPress specific plugin that can do that. There is a bug with saving topic subscriptions from user before their post needs to be/is approved by subscribing from the checkbox during their reply though.
As @casiepa said there is a basic moderation system in bbPress right now, and there are going to be improvements in future releases.
In reply to: Looking for a List Serve Capability with BBPressI’ve had a YahooGroup for the past ten years. I’d like to convert it to a new website
Importing from yahoogroups is tricky. There might be hacky ways to do it, but it might be terribly difficult.
In reply to: Where is RSS for topics?My bad for the typo. I think it should be =topic instead of -topic
In reply to: Where is RSS for topics?Oh sorry forgot you wanted a forum feed with only topics, I was just focusing on group forum feeds in general.
To display only a specific post type in the feed like topics, just add
?type=topicto the end of/feed. So in the end using the example url again it will be something likeyoursite.com/forums/forum/group-forums-2/forum-name/feed?type=topicI think even this works too.
yoursite.com/forums/forum/group-forums-2/forum-name/feed/?type=topicIn reply to: Where is RSS for topics?I might have gotten the urls wrong I was pulling an all nighter yesterday.
It should be something like this for regular forums.
localhost/forums/forum/forum-name/feed/If you have forums in categories it would show up like this.
localhost/forums/forum/category-name/forum-name/feed/It was just an example url, not anything particular to your site.
Here is the url to the feed for the ios development group forum.
http://layerunion.com/forums/forum/group-forums-2/ios-development/feed
So you have to go to each of them like this. Where the “forum-name” is the actual forums name, and “yoursite.com” is your sites domain name.
yoursite.com/forums/forum/group-forums-2/forum-name/feedIn reply to: Where is RSS for topics?The forum feeds are still there, you just have to go to the original forum feed url as stated in this new trac ticket I just created.
In reply to: Author avatar issueWell that code is very specific for every button in your bbPress forums, but if it works I guess use it.
I should have told you use this CSS instead earlier since it just pinpoints the quicktag toolbar buttons and not customize every input field in the content wrapper div.
#bbpress-forums .quicktags-toolbar input.button { color: black; }In reply to: Display Lead Topic onlyI expected that only lead topic appears, but it does not. There is a lead topic with all replies.
That is how the shortcode should output. This is the description straight from the plugin for the function from the shortcode.
Display the contents of a specific topic ID in an output buffer and return to ensure that post/page contents are displayed first.
Is there any way how to display Lead topic only (no replies)?
The best way is to probably make a new custom shortcode. I will test this out later today and see if I can just use something similar to the single reply shortcode, but just use the content-single-topic-lead.php template instead.
In reply to: Divide topic replies to several partsI am just going to reply to your other topic about this since you already asked the question.
In reply to: Define WP theme is bbPress ready/compatible?I just want to know what “bbPress ready” “works with bbPress” means
What are some characteristics that make a “theme bbPress ready/compatible”?Most common theme related issues are not visible with the theme.
If a WordPress theme is reviewed in an article and is said to work for bbPress
There are quite a few, like a handful of paid themes that actual go out and style everything and add something custom in their forum layout. Some others just say it just works but do not really customize the layout much.
Same thing with free themes, only a few I have seen actually customize the layout. There are some good free ones.
What do the results imply when I search for themes for bbPress, what can I expect in general?
The theme has no possible theme issues with bbPress and possibly some minor or major customization in the default bbPress forums look.
I have been struggling with themes, like all bbPress newbies. I don’t understand the structure of bbPress – the layout, navigation, hierarchy and the pages it generates. It’s a new surprise with each theme I try. (Yes, I have used Theme 2015 to check things.)
It is close to a traditional forum layout (except the categories/forum layout). Can you please explain exactly why some things might not understandable so I can help you better?? I do not want to try to assume things from what you meant by structure or the pages generated.
In /forums page is the forum post type archive, same goes for the topic post type and /topics. In some themes they configure a custom page title for Archive pages. Since you can use the regular WordPress conditional is_archive() and affect bbPress, well it affects bbPress.
Here is the code in the free version of that theme that outputs the Archives title for any archive using
if_archive()and some extra conditionals to check if it is a category archive or an author archive and so on. Since the bbPress archive page does not follow one of the other conditionals, the title ends up just Archives.function ample_header_title() { if( is_archive() ) { if ( is_category() ) : $ample_header_title = single_cat_title( '', FALSE ); elseif ( is_tag() ) : $ample_header_title = single_tag_title( '', FALSE ); elseif ( is_author() ) : /* Queue the first post, that way we know * what author we're dealing with (if that is the case). */ the_post(); $ample_header_title = sprintf( __( 'Author: %s', 'ample' ), '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ); /* Since we called the_post() above, we need to * rewind the loop back to the beginning that way * we can run the loop properly, in full. */ rewind_posts(); elseif ( is_day() ) : $ample_header_title = sprintf( __( 'Day: %s', 'ample' ), '<span>' . get_the_date() . '</span>' ); elseif ( is_month() ) : $ample_header_title = sprintf( __( 'Month: %s', 'ample' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( 'F Y' ) . '</span>' ); elseif ( is_year() ) : $ample_header_title = sprintf( __( 'Year: %s', 'ample' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( 'Y' ) . '</span>' ); else : $ample_header_title = __( 'Archives', 'ample' ); endif; }Those are hidden forums.
In bbPress a private forums posts should only show if the user is logged in. If you have a BuddyPress group and it is private the posts should only be visible if the user is logged in and a member. The users are able to see the title of the private group that may want to join.
IF you want, change to a hidden group where only members can be invited to the group to see the content. You should be able to keep it as a private forum as well.
Make sure to run the repair tools one at a time after you have made your choice on what you want exactly. The repair tools are in Tools > Forums. I know there is one exactly for BuddyPress Groups and one for private and hidden forums, but just running the repair tools once in a while is not a bad thing to do.
